The first night ended "uneventfully" --- the tenth stanza
Since Xi Feng came to this strange place, he has encountered a lot of things, which can be regarded as both surprised and happy. However, those were all in the past, and there were one question after another in front of him, and he was eager to get answers. Until he met this wounded orc warrior, the first species he could communicate with since he came to this world. Of course, Xi Feng would not let go of this opportunity, and he was eager to know these answers. But seeing that the orc was also seriously injured, if he asked halfway through, the orc would not be able to stand up, so what would happen? If the orc is saved, and then he will turn his face and attack Xi Feng, then he will be even more resentful! It should be no problem to defeat the injured orc with some skill, but if the injury is healed, it is another matter.
Now, since the orcs asked Xi Feng to tell him where he came from, Xi Feng didn't want to waste time. 1510 to the orcs. "That's the way it is, I'm in front of you right now. I'm done, it's your turn!" Xi Feng sat down and explained his origin to the orcs.
"Hahaha!!hahahaha~~~~" After listening to Xi Feng's words, the orc didn't make any answer, just looked up to the sky and laughed. Seeing such a response, Xi Feng of course felt unhappy in his heart, and quickly stood up, raised the wooden stick in his hand, and said to the orc, "What are you laughing at? Why don't you tell me what kind of place this is, what kind of witch and what Vilia! Tell me quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Then, the orcs gradually stopped. Coughed a few times, calmed his breath, and looked at Xi Feng, who raised a stick and said that he wanted to be bad for himself. "What's the matter, why don't you make a sound? Obviously I am still so badly injured, what are you laughing at, be careful that the wound is cracked again! Quickly answer my question!" Xi Feng saw that the orc had stopped, and hurriedly asked him. "Hmph, though I don't know you like that, you're not a Vilia. However, you are no better than them, and it is not dishonorable to use force against a man who is about to die!" the orc said to Xi Feng.
Xi Feng really had no choice but to put down the wooden stick,
Sit down and cross your feet and have a good chat with the orcs. Thinking about it, what he doesn't have time is that he is not Xi Feng himself, and it is useless to be anxious about the orcs. "Well, I just heard you say that your name is Barudo. Mr. Barudo, may you talk to me?" Xi Feng also calmed down and said to the orc.
"Haha! That's right!You listen to me, huh~~~" The orc Barudo breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally explained the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that Barudo was the leader of an improvised expedition formed by an orc tribe. Just two months before Xi Feng came to this world, they had already set off. The purpose of this expedition was actually because their shamans sensed the appearance of a mysterious force on a small island far from the tribe they lived in during a witchcraft sacrifice. And the source of this power is likely to be emitted by a treasure left over from ancient times. When the shaman found out about this, he hurriedly reported it to their tribal leader, who was also very surprised when he heard it, and immediately arranged for several more shamans to get up again and use witchcraft to confirm the previous shaman's statement and other relevant information. After all the information was formed, the leader immediately ordered that he must find a way to get hold of this treasure. Then came the expedition of Barudo and began to search for this treasure.
After more than a month of sailing, the expedition finally found the island, and although they had a bit of an accident before landing, it was best to land without incident. This team and the shamans who came with it landed a total of thirty-one people without any more success than anyone else on the battlefield, maybe everyone in this team is elite. But now it's a matter of exploring to a location, but that's a different story.
In just two weeks after the expedition landed, they encountered eight consecutive attacks by the island's creatures, and several members of the team were unwell from the water and soil. Although they found the clearing where Xi Feng was and set up the camp shortly after they came ashore, for various reasons, there were only twelve men left on the sixteenth day after landing.
With that, Barudo raised his hand and pointed to his left front, motioning for Xi Feng to look in that direction. Xi Feng turned his head to look over, and he saw that right next to the fence, something like a tombstone had been erected. It seems that those are the graves of dead orc warriors.
Captain Barudo is also an experienced fighter with excellent survival skills in the wild. However, the situation on this island is really different from the environment of the previous battle, and the skills of the warriors can only be reflected in the battle. As he spoke, Barudo also apologized to his fallen comrades, and felt deeply guilty for his dereliction of duty in command of the march.
The camp can only be used as a place for wounded soldiers to recuperate, and to find treasures, someone needs to advance. Therefore, the day after the camp was basically formed, that is, the fourteenth day after they landed, Barudo decided that if he was physically inconvenient, he would stay in the camp to recuperate, and then leave a few as guards, while the others would continue to search for treasures with him. By that time, the expedition had grown from thirty to twenty-two. Six were wounded, leaving four to guard, and Barudo and the shamans continued on their way with ten more warriors.
It was true that the speed of the small force was faster than when there were many people, and under the guidance of the shaman, two days after leaving the camp, they came to the vicinity of the source of the mysterious power. However, there is a palace gate-like entrance to a cave in front of him, and it seems that there must be a person living in this cave. And most likely a snake cave. This is because the sculptures from the outside of the palace and the reliefs on the walls are mainly snakes.
"Snake?Could it be that this is a snake demon's cave!?Is the demon girl you are talking about a female snake demon?" Hearing this, Xi Feng asked Barudo. "Yes, it's a cave full of monsters, and the leader of the monsters inside is a female basili! Barudo replied.
"Just as we reached the entrance to the cave, the door opened automatically. There was music and laughter from inside, as if we were welcome. When my group saw it, they really thought that someone was welcoming us, so they went in. Entering the cave, although it is a cave, there are torches along the way. So I didn't feel anything eerie at all, and after a short path we reached the inside of the cave, which was a huge space with a pool of water at the bottom, and a stone bridge over it leading to the palace in front of us. There are also some small holes in the top for lighting, and there are torches inside, making the whole space very spacious and bright. At this point, it can be regarded as a real visit to the Snake Palace, and the furnishings inside the Snake Hall are luxurious and beautiful. However, these are only superficial scenes, and the most surprising thing is that there is a banquet in the snake hall, and there is a band playing music and dancers performing. There were a few monsters in different looks, but there was a scene of singing and dancing, and there were plates of food on the table!" Barudo continued.
Hearing this, Xi Feng couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, but it wasn't that he had bad intentions, he just thought, aren't you orcs just weird-looking creatures? I couldn't help but be amused, and said to Barudo, "Isn't that good?
"Hmph! It's really right to call you a little rabbit cub, it's just not sensible!" Barudo also hurriedly dismissed Xi Feng's statement. "Since we went to sea, we can say that we haven't eaten anything good. After going through so many hardships, I am now seeing such a scene again. You say, who doesn't want to have a good meal and a good rest? At first we didn't dare to move, and it was only because there was no order from me. Besides, when we entered the banquet hall, an amphibious monster greeted us and beckoned us to come up to the banquet, saying that everything was prepared for us!"
"Amphibians, what is that?" asked Xi Feng. "Hmm~~ Those are creatures that look like frogs, they can walk in the water and on land, and there are many different kinds of them, that's our collective name for them!Nah! I also killed two of them at the gate of the camp, you can go and see for yourself!" Barudo said to Xi Feng.
When Xi Feng heard this, he also turned his head to look in the direction of the camp entrance, recalling that when he first entered here just now, he did see some small creatures with limbs similar to those of humans. Barrudo continued.
"I couldn't bear to see that my men were all hungry and thirsty! So I relaxed my guard and let the team members disband, and do it ourselves! In this way, everyone immediately began to come forward to drink and eat meat! However, I was not immediately discouraged by the food in front of me! I just sat down and watched the team eat. Barudo paused slightly, wondering if he wanted to take a break or something!
"Oh~~ Then your will is quite firm!But let you fall to this point, is it because those little demons poisoned the wine and food, and then they were sneak attacked?" Xi Feng also saw that Barudo's expression changed a little, and his words suddenly stopped, so he teased him and asked him to continue.
Barudo let out a long sigh and continued. "If I had known, I wouldn't have let their guard down and just make a fuss there, maybe everyone wouldn't have ...... Alas~~~ cough cough cough" Barudo's tone suddenly became excited, and after speaking, it seemed to affect his injury, and he coughed!
"Hey, are you okay?!Take your time! It's a foregone conclusion, so don't regret what you did wrong! Aren't you alive now? You should be proud! Remember, the past cannot be changed, only the future is in your hands! As long as you are alive, there is hope! You, can't you avenge your men! Alas~~ I don't know what to say, you take your time and say it well!" Xi Feng saw Barudo's mood change, and was also worried about his body, so he hurriedly comforted him.
After a while, Barudo's body calmed down, looked at Xi Feng fixedly, and said, "Boy, you're right, we can't indulge in the mistakes of the past, there was a comrade-in-arms who treated me before, but ...... Hehe, he's going to encourage me to live well and sacrifice. So, from now on, I swear to myself that I, Barudo, will not go over and regret it. But at the same time, I will no longer let my companions die!"
"Without fighting, there is no killing, and there is no sacrifice. After hearing Barudo's words, Xi Feng felt a gloomy pain in his heart for some reason, and he said this sentence inadvertently.
"Hmm, hahaha~~~ Boy, I started to think it was my delusion, but I didn't expect that the more I talked to you, the more I felt that you were like a dead comrade of mine......!
"Hey, hey, you're okay!Alas~~ Don't say it, I think I'll ask you again tomorrow, you recuperate well tonight, do you have any medicine here that can heal your wounds......" Xi Feng saw that Baludo was excited again, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. However, Barudo also wanted to care about his body, thinking about Xi Feng waving his hand, signaling that Xi Feng didn't matter. Then he said to Xi Feng: "Forget it, you don't have to worry about me, you can't help it." In that snake cave before, we experienced a battle, and we were plotted by them, and then we were chased and killed by them all the way to the present. I don't think I will live long, and if you hadn't shown up and chatted with me, it would have been pretty much the same. ”
"No, it's not! you'll be fine, Barudo!" Xi Feng was even more anxious about Barudo when he heard it. "Otherwise, I'll go to the camp and find something to heal for you!"
As he spoke, Xi Feng also stood up, and was about to turn around and walk away, when Barudo said to Xi Feng, "Hey, boy, don't you want to inquire about the news? If you waste any more time, you won't know anything by then!" Xi Feng also stopped when he heard Barudo say this. With his head down, he turned around and sat down next to Barudo again. "Okay, I'll stay here, you name it. Xi Feng's mood also became very depressed all of a sudden. Because he knew that he couldn't get Barudo, and finally found someone to talk to, he was about to part, and it was a life-and-death parting, Xi Feng was really unwilling.
"Hmm~~ That's it, you left before I finished speaking, you're too rude. Besides, the show is only starting now!ah~~ As I just said, we all started to eat and drink in the hall of the palace, and the amphibious monster was also on the side to cheer for us. Suddenly, one of the team members asked the amphibian monster why he had heard a woman's laughter when he first came in, and why he didn't see them now. I was sitting on the side, and when I heard it, I thought my teammate was drunk and was making trouble, and I wanted to go up and persuade my teammate not to make trouble. Who knew that he saw the amphibian monster smile, and then slapped his palm a few times. Sure enough, some women actually came out of the side door of the hall. I thought I was dazzled, but I didn't drink, and that's true. Those women are the appearance of your Villea, and all of them have a bewitching appearance, and they are lightly dressed and tulle, looming, which is really tempting!ahhahaha~~"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he forgot about his injuries for a moment, so he coughed again. However, this time, Xi Feng didn't step forward to stop him, but just looked at him coldly from the side.
Barudo, too, knew that this time it was his own gaffe, so he cleared his throat in embarrassment and continued. "Ahh Let's get back to the whole. When the women came out, they sat down beside us and drank with us. In this way, my teammates were even more drunk, and I was surrounded by two women who fed me drinks. Under such temptation, I still had a little drink. However, just as they wanted me to have a second drink, I found out that they had bayonets hidden in them. When I saw it, I immediately stood up and yelled at them! I wanted to raise my mace to hit them! Who knows~~~"
"What's the matter, could it be that the enchantress you said has appeared?!" Barudo stopped suddenly, and Xi Feng said guessingly.
"Hmm~~ Yes. At first, I heard a sound that told me to stop, and it was so beautiful that it reverberated through the hall. I also stopped to see the enchantress also coming out of the side door, and she appeared in front of me in human form with her face covered. ”
"Will she still change her posture?" asked Barudo, surprised when he heard this.
"Yes," replied Barrudo, "I don't know why, she was more beautiful and seductive than all the other women present, and to be honest, I was immediately attracted to her." She walked up to me and seemed to say something to me, and I don't remember it very well. I only know that as long as I look at her eyes, I can't take my eyes off it. I don't know if it's like a spell, but also to our orcs' witchcraft!"
"Then how can you escape her temptation in the end?" asked Xi Feng.
"Luckily, before we set out, one of our tribe's shamans, the first to discover the mystical power here, was Digguards. He was a very powerful and famous shaman in our tribe, and he was also a good friend of mine. He didn't come with me because he had other tasks on his side, so he made a horn for us before we left. As he spoke, Barudo took off the ornament around his neck with his hand and showed it to Xi Feng. "Look, this is it, he saved me. ”
Then he thought that Xi Feng showed something in the shape of a conch, and Xi Feng held it in his hand and looked at it. This one is indeed a conch, spiral-shaped, not as big as the palm of your hand. The exterior is smooth, and the middle of the snail seems to be inlaid with a round thing such as a stone, and some symbols are engraved on it. The tip and mouth of the conch have been modified to form a conch horn that can be blown loudly.
Barudo explained to Sifeng that the horn was originally intended to defend against a species of Kraken that might be encountered while sailing the seas, and that the Kraken would use songs and spells to confuse people's minds. The shaman Digualz gave Barudo the conch horn and the ability to keep him awake at the last of his consciousness when his consciousness was affected. Then, as long as Barudo blows this horn, he can break the entire space where the [***] spell has been cast, and save the will of the whole team, so as to fight back.
Barudo said, "So, this conch horn saved me a little bit of will, and in the end I was not completely deceived by the enchantress. However, I also found that the rest of the team was confused, even the shaman who came with me was also confused. So I blew the trumpet, and sure enough, the deception was broken! When the enchantress saw it, she immediately revealed her true form, and it was an ugly-looking monster! Originally, with my combat strength, it should be possible to deal with them! It's just that the poison we drank before was in it. Maybe our orcs have a better physique, and their bodies can barely bear it, and they didn't die of poison immediately. ”
"Now you're the only one left, and that's your comrades who died there. Xi Feng also felt pity and said comfortingly to Barudo.
"Yes, we were going to escape first, then go back to the camp, regroup and go back. It's just that the men sent by those demon girls came to hunt us down without any play. Plus, we've all been poisoned, so I'm the only one who can get back to camp. It can be heard that Barrudo's words are now heavy with pain, and he stops talking from time to time. Xi Feng also understood his feelings, and constantly comforted him and encouraged him.
When Barudo was in a better mood, he continued. "When I came back to camp, I was at a loss and at a loss. However, what I regretted even more happened after I returned......"
"Isn't it, all the comrades-in-arms who were here before were killed?" Xi Feng also guessed and said quietly to Barudo.
"Hehe, that's right. They were all killed. It must have been just after we set off that they were attacked by something. However, it wasn't the enchantress's people who attacked them. I don't know who it is, so ruthless. The first four combat-ready warriors in our camp were knocked down, flesh blurred and fragmented. Those who lie on the bed are just, alas~~...... It's like being poisoned!" Perhaps Barudo was also unable to bear the grief, and his words were intermittent as he spoke. After a slight adjustment, he continued, "At that time, my spirit was already broken, but the pursuers of those demon maidens also caught up. I took all my anger out on them. He killed them all, and then he endured his physical injuries and grief, and buried them one by one. And then I'll sit here, and you'll be in front of me!"
After hearing this, Xi Feng was also angry and sorry for what happened to Barudo, and he said to Barudo: "I feel sad for you, oh, if I can get there sooner, maybe I can help!
"It's nothing, you come here, I've got something for you. Barudo beckoned Xi Feng to come closer, and when Xi Feng approached, Barudo raised his left hand and gently pressed his palm against Xi Feng's head.
At this moment, Xi Feng felt a hand stretched out that might be more than his head to caress the child with the force of righteousness on his head. Yes, this feeling is more like the care that a father cares for his children.
"Haha, boy, you're so daring, aren't you afraid that I'll crush your head with all my might?" said Barudo to Xi Feng with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, if it's true, you can do it in the first place. And I don't feel the meaning that you're going to kill me. Xi Feng said calmly, and at the same time he responded to Barudo's humor with his characteristic sharpness and tenacity.
"Hahaha, that's the look in my eyes, that comrade-in-arms of mine scared a merry lion away!Boy, you can really do it!hahaha~~~~~Alas~~~" Barudo smiled at Xi Feng, but suddenly sighed and said, "Do you know? Even if it's a comrade-in-arms, a friend is good at anything, and it's not them who are most reluctant in my heart...... It's my son, Sartre, Sartre von Lleer. My little son, it's good that you listened to your father and didn't go into a warrior like your brothers and father. Haha, otherwise, our family will have no descendants!"
"Your son, where is he now?" asked Xi Feng.
"He should be living with you Vilia people on the continent now, and I sent him there to go to school, and he didn't learn any battle spells or anything like that. It's good to be a businessman!" Barudo showed his father's feelings, and suddenly said this, and said that he had something to give Xi Feng, and Xi Feng was also confused by him, and hurriedly said: "I didn't expect you to be quite thoughtful! But what you want to give me is related to your child? Oh, I see! You let me send your things to him, okay! I promise you that I will do my best to help your things get to him!"
When Barudo heard this, he smiled and said to Xi Feng, "Hahaha, boy! The continent is so big, how do you find it! Do you know where it is?"
was asked by Barudo like this, and Xi Feng was speechless. However, Barudo continued: "Indeed, I originally intended to give this thing to my son personally, but not necessarily to Sartre. It's just that Sartre's brothers all died on the battlefield early, and I didn't have time to give them to them. I had to give it to you. Boy, close your eyes and get on with it!"
Xi Feng didn't know what Barudo was giving him, so he had to close his eyes......
In front of me, it was pitch black...... However, at this time, Xi Feng seemed to feel as if he had arrived somewhere else. He wanted to open his eyes, but he felt that when he opened them, it was the same as if he hadn't. What the hell is going on!
Suddenly, Xi Feng heard some sounds, and a light appeared in front of him! The light became brighter and brighter, and then he saw a raging flame, and some black shadows appeared in the flames. If you look closely, you can see that the shape of these shadows is the shadow of a human form, and there are many animals, beasts, and so on. Then, the shadows of the house appeared, and the shadows of the previous human and animal shapes also appeared one after another. They seemed to have weapons in their hands and armor in their armour, and they rushed towards the houses, and some figures with weapons ran out of the houses, and the two sides began to fight. From the time the shadow appeared, Xi Feng also heard many different voices. The voices were matched by the shadows, the human voices, the beast screams, and the clashing of swords and weapons. Also, those figures are fighting, and the crying comes from the house......
Then, the shape of the shadows began to change, and all of them twisted towards the center, converging into a black circle. The flames were still burning, and when all the shadows converged into this black circle, the circle began to grow larger and deformed. The result is a shadow of a humanoid.
The figure of this figure showed thick and powerful muscles, and he held the weapon in both hands, and raised it up with a tearing roar! As if to show its strength and might to Xi Feng, there was no doubt that the original form of this shadow was an orc.
"Ha~~Ha~~ Huh!!What the hell is going on, and what does the orc mean?Barudo, what are you going to show me?" Xi Feng finally came to his senses, and he asked Barudo with a pant. At this time, Barudo's hand was no longer pressed on Xi Feng's head, but was weakly lowered and placed on the ground. Xi Feng saw that Barudo's expression at this time was even more haggard and more unfocused than just now. "Barudo, what is wrong with you......" Xi Feng asked Barudo very worriedly.
"Haha, boy, what you just saw is our orc instinct, and what we are best at doing, is fighting. Ah~~ What I gave you is something called the power of orcs, the reason why our orc race has always been so strong, in addition to the physical strength we have in previous lives, is because we have passed on the power of orcs from generation to generation, generation after generation. It's a combination of our clan's spiritual will and rune!Ah~~ Speaking of rune, I don't think you know what it is! That's the manifestation of the power level of the creatures in this world, and the full name is rune power. Not all creatures have them, but I heard Divialz say that all creatures can, maybe it's just that they don't have the power to converge into runic power. The strength of our orcs is also an index of the level of rune power. In terms of rune level, I am in the second stage of maturity. Normally, the captain level doesn't even have a mature stage! Now that I've given you my strength, you can make good use of it! This is also one of the symbols of our orcs, when you meet an orc, you show him your orc power, I don't think they will kill you right away! Unless it's a foreign country, it's hard to say...... Ha ha...... Ahem, ahem!" Barudo said weakly, coughing from time to time.
"Baroudo, I haven't done anything, and it's the first time we've met, so you can pass on the power to me. Haha, I probably don't deserve it!" Xi Feng felt an indescribable feeling in his heart when he heard Barudo transfer his power to him.
"No, this power, this will, is to be imparted. cough cough cough ...... Actually, I didn't come to you because I couldn't find someone to teach me. It's because I can see that you and we both have a similar will, although we have not known each other for a long time, but I can see that your character is very good, although you have forgotten the past, but you have a kind and pure heart in your heart, this is a power, can feel the darkest and most confused in our hearts is to rescue us. I believe you!cough~~cough...... And, as I heard you say earlier, you're being guided by some blue fireballs. Although I haven't seen it, I remember my grandfather saying that those were not ordinary flames. If that's true, then it's a god-like existence! Even the gods are willing to guide you, then it means that even the gods are looking after you, and you are not an ordinary person! So...... cough cough cough ~ cough ...... "The more Barudo talked, the harder it became, Xi Feng really didn't want to listen to it first, so he hurriedly stopped Barudo and said, "Barudo, don't say it anymore!" Although I don't know what it is, I will definitely make good use of your strength. I really don't know what I can do for you, I, I'm ......" Xi Feng looked at Barudo's increasingly weak body, and he really didn't know what to say. He stepped forward and clasped Barudo's hand tightly with both hands, so let's give him a good last ride.
"I don't think I have much time. Boy, I'll give you all this as you should, as long as you live well for yourself. If you see my son, help me bring him a message. Just say, son, Dad is proud of you, Dad is sorry for you...... cough cough cough ~~ It's too old-fashioned, I still don't want it. Ha ha...... Ahem~~ Oh! By the way, I don't know your name yet!"
"My surname is Xi, but there is just a wind word, Xi Feng. ”
"Xi Feng~~ Haha, do you live as freely as the wind!Haha, it seems that your parents are also very good to you...... cough cough cough ...... Hmm~coughcoughcough~~~"
Barudo didn't seem to have the strength to speak anymore, and kept coughing. Xi Feng really couldn't bear to watch him die, but there was nothing he could do......
Suddenly, Xi Feng felt a heat in his chest, and the heat quickly began to spread throughout his body. It's more like something is pouring out of his body, it's very uncomfortable!
Xi Feng couldn't help but let go of his hands and no longer held Barudo's hands. He fell to the ground, clasped his hands on his chest, and cried, "Ah~~ It's so hot!ha~~Ah!!! ”
"It seems that the power is starting to take shape, and I can start ...... here" Barudo seemed to know in advance that something like this would happen, but he saw that Barudo's body began to glow, and there were little and small round lights floating out of his body.
Barudo closed his eyes, and there were more and more points of light on his body, and after they floated out, they floated into the sky, and after his body shone, he began to become transparent.
Xi Feng's heart beat faster, his breathing was rapid, his whole body was hot, and a large amount of sweat came out of his skin, curling up and falling to the ground. At this time, he heard someone talking to him, "Xi Feng, don't worry, it's just that your body is adapting to my strength, it's a little uncomfortable, but after that, you'll be fine." After I pass on the power of the orcs to you, I will also die in the same way that the owner of the power of runes disappears after losing their vitality. Listen to our shaman, you will reach a better world, so don't worry! I will use my weapons, as well as the horn and some runes, I am sure you will be able to use them. Thank you for accompanying me to the end, hahaha......"
It was Barudo's voice, but by this time Barudo had begun to disappear, and the voice might have been transmitted to Xi Feng in some other way.
With that, Barudo had completely disappeared, and one of the points of light that appeared floated into the sky, thinking about the direction of the pink moon in the night sky......
"I should thank you!Barudo!!hahaha!!" Xi Feng said with a smile after hearing Barudo's last words. Although his body is still hot and still very hard, Xi Feng still feels very comforted that his friend can pass away with peace of mind
