Volume 2: Storm Falls 118 Flesh Jungle
Could it be that trolls hatch from eggs? Or do you reproduce by division? I suddenly remembered that I had seen a man and a woman today, but I really didn't find a troll cub. Even things like ogres have the ability to intersect...... Isn't it a little strange that these trolls are a little weird?
I still remember the sight of the two ogres in the woods that night......
I feel that if I look into this issue, I might win some prize at the Dalaran or Lordaeron Societies.
The village has two roads leading to the outside, one to the west and the other to the depths of the forest to the east.
Actually, I've always hated turning back, I'm coming from the northwest, and if I'm not mistaken, this road goes all the way west and probably ends up in the sea. I don't want to go back to the beach and see what's out there. And the road to the east may lead me to more secrets.
I looked up at the sky, it was still early in the morning, but I was a little worried about the danger of breaking into the troll world just like that. As the old saying goes, sharpen a knife and don't mistake a woodcutter! So the next day I lurked at the east exit of the village and quietly followed a group of outgoing trolls into the woods.
Man is not a dog and is not aware of the smell left behind, nor is he a gorilla, so he does not remember what he sees at a glance. Walking in the woods is a great test of one's sense of direction and memory, and it can even be said to be a kind of intuition or a sixth sense. It's okay to walk into the forest for 100 meters, but after a few hundred meters, it becomes easier and easier to get lost.
So I followed them and broke a plant with my hand somewhere they passed. You can't use a knife! Knives should never be used.
They had a great range of activities, and after a day with them they ran at least fifty kilometers! Climbed more than a dozen mountains! Countless traps have been dropped! Of course, they put me in front and I dismantle it in the back, and I can't dismantle it, and I can't dismantle it. Their traps are not complicated, but their camouflage is very skillful. This is their land! Land of Trolls! If there is no guidance, outsiders will come in like this, and they will probably die under some kind of trap.
Their way of hunting is primitive but very effective! They will force the prey into the trap, and if the prey misses the attack, the ensuing feints and encirclement will be stunned. I thought to myself, but fortunately, it was the trolls who ran to attack the city under Stormwind, and the human defenders were still breached in the city, if the humans dared to come here to attack them...... There is only one case: total annihilation! There will be no exceptions!
Well...... If there's an archmage like Medivan...... It could be slightly better.
The predators in the wilderness were fast, but the only ones I remembered were fast enough in the jungle was snakes. When I think about it, I think of the trolls in the temple who worship snakes so much.
While the forest trolls don't seem to worship the snake god, their big feet are made entirely for the jungle. The wide feet not only provide great strength, but also provide adequate support. Who can run and jump in a mossy slippery mountain stream! And what's even more terrifying is that they are still running fast through the jungle!
This made me suffer a lot! Although they were not in a hurry to move forward, the speed was still not slow. Their feet are big, their legs are long, and they are already strong and sensitive. As a result, I almost died of exhaustion after running with them for the day, and I felt that I was not as tired as I was today when I used to track that orc!
However, in tracking, I found that female trolls seem to be slightly more agile and intelligent than men. In a few hunts, it was often the female troll who led the way, and it was often the female troll who was in the forefront.
Although their faces and skin are poor, their bodies are really moving.
In this way, I followed them next to this village for three days, and during these three days, I basically touched their lifestyle and living habits. And I'm completely sure of one thing, female trolls do have a much higher IQ than male trolls!
On this day, their altar was found in the village, and the architecture and sacrificial features of this altar were not much different from when they were in the temple. It's still heads, all sorts of heads, and of course mostly troll heads. And the heads of trolls are very easy to distinguish between men and women. Men have longer teeth, higher brow bones, and longer faces, but their brains seem to be lower.
After basically grasping their daily habits and routines, I led my horse around the north side of the village. The road leading to the outside of the village cannot be called a road at all in the strict sense, but can only be said to be a land that does not grow grass by walking too much. In addition to the potholes, there are also stones on the road that have not been cleared at all. The sleek stones that had been stepped on told me that the soles of the guys' feet were probably rough.
It's easy to find the sea along the river, and it's easy to find villages along the road, but this time I didn't find a village, but ...... City! A huge city.
As the light of the torch pierced through the dense foliage and darkness of the jungle into my eyes, I almost dropped my jaw in amazement at the mountain-by-mountain buildings.
The walls of the city are so high that it is absolutely possible to rise 30 meters from the ground, but I cannot understand the laborious way of construction. Their walls felt like they were stretching and seemed to encircle the entire mountain! I'm a little skeptical about where they got the stones.
From the bottom to the top is a spiraling rise of the building to the top of the mountain. A waterfall cascades down the hill and creates a natural barrier for the city.
It's huge! The city is huge! Torches lit above lit up the dark sky.
I hesitated, I was tempted to check it out, but the horse and backpack were a bit ...... Inconvenience. Riding a horse away from the city, he watched from afar. I'm not sure if there will be patrols around tomorrow, so I don't dare to stop.
Walking around the perimeter of the city, not only was the city built high, but the trees under it were all cut down. Without the shade of trees, only a bare land remains. If it's really a siege...... At the height of the wall, I don't know how many people will die on the attacking side.
What's more, this city built on a hill has seven floors from bottom to top, and those countless torches tell me that if this place only lives 10,000 people, it will be completely empty! Maybe even twenty or thirty thousand people living in it will be more than enough.
Such a huge city must be the capital of the Troll Kingdom. But then I fell into confusion again, isn't the capital of the Troll Empire Zulgrab? Could this be the legendary Zurgrob? Have I come this far?
I still wanted to lean over and take a look, and then I realized that the bare ground in front of the city was not bare, and it was extremely uneven! And in this uneven land stood some stone totem poles, and a short distance from the totem poles there was a wooden stake, and on the wooden stake was not anything else, but the head of a troll.
The skulls here are complete, but more are incomplete, some have been smashed with the Heavenly Spirit Cover, some have broken teeth, and some have the whole nasal bone gone, as if it had been smashed.
These trolls are definitely not good to die for.
After this row of wooden stakes, it seems that there is still a row in front of it. The road ahead is also difficult to walk and full of potholes. I jumped off a small mound and was about to wade through the water, but I almost screamed when I stepped on the water!
All of a sudden, I fell into what looked like a puddle of water, and the water went straight to my chest. I'm glad there are no thorns in this pit!
I struggled to climb out, but the pit looked like someone had groomed it, and the slope next to it made me scratch and it was very slippery. Suddenly I felt a chill on the back of my neck, if I had dropped arrows from the city at this time...... I'm going to die!
Finally crawling out of the pit, I cursed and quickly ducked behind a stone totem pole. And the whole row of spiked fences next to this pillar made me wonder if it was too much to put this thing in.
There is no movement in the city, and I am safe. I glanced at the fence with no end in sight and reached out
I touched the wood. This should be on the sunny side, and the wood is not damp at all. I picked at it with my fingernails, and the wood wasn't rotten at all, but it was still so sharp.
Drilling through the opening next to the fence, it was still full of potholes. But this time I had an eye, and I picked up a stone from the ground next to me and threw it into the puddle with water. Just listen to the plop! The puddle is also quite deep.
Looking at this extremely ruthless defensive measures, I really feel a little afraid, if you rush forward, you will die, in case you can't attack this wall, it is not so easy to retreat. I guess those pits were dug on purpose! The heads stuck in these two rows of stakes may have been left behind after the siege of the city by some army.
I really didn't expect this group of guys to have a big brain, and the tricks they thought of were really bad!
It took me a while to cross these two lines without a bow and arrows to get to the city.
When I finally came to the city wall, I reached out and touched the wall, picked the stone cracks between the stone bricks of the city wall, and looked up at the high city wall! I gave up decisively, and it was almost impossible to climb up with my bare hands.
It was at this moment that I became intrigued by the city, what was it like?
Build such a city with ultra-high defenses...... I turned my head to look at the stake behind me. Looks like their tribes are fighting each other too!
Perhaps thousands of troll warriors had died in the clearing right in front of me. I looked up at the moon in the sky, and the thin moon hung diagonally in the sky.
Belch...... What about the moon? How is there a moon today?
I can't spend it here, I guess it will be bright in the future. In the light of the fire in the city, I hurried back again. This is exactly what I just thought, if the siege is not successful, the retreat will be very bad.
I felt where the horse was bolted, but suddenly I smelled a hint of blood in the air! All of a sudden I stopped, and my ears were more useful than my eyes. It was dark in the woods, but my ears could hear any unusual noises around me.
I slowly pulled out the weapon from my waist and gently lifted my heel. There was a faint thud from underfoot. If there's something around, I'm sure I'll be able to hear it!
The slower you go, the heavier the smell of blood in the air. It's too quiet around here...... My Horse ......
My heart tightens when I think of this!
His eyes kept probing around, and the feeling he had only felt in the cave came back in an instant! The smell of blood seemed to be visible, and I walked slowly over it.
I couldn't see how much flesh and blood was in front of me, my horse was lying to the ground, and the blood was coming from it under my feet.
