After entering the Ashen Valley, I found a problem......

A very serious problem!

The trees here seem to have changed a lot.

I could clearly see that the trees were all wilting, yes! All! The leaves on the tree were all hanging weakly, and that feeling was the feeling of losing their vitality. Do you know how the leaves of the three-cornered plum hang down at noon in summer? Or the way spider plants wither due to lack of water.

Yes, that's what it feels like. listless, half-dead.

And the second reason why I can clearly feel the lack of life in this forest is that there are no birds here.

This kind of forest will never be without birds! There are birds in places like Ishala, but you can't hear them flying here, and you can't see any small animals. It reminded me of the pool.

I'm still wondering if this pond is polluting this forest? But that pool isn't that big...... You can't let such a large area of the forest die!

I didn't know what the reason was until later.

They...... Killed the demigods.

They...... It's orcs.

The demigods are the guardians of the region, and in the words of the elves, every tree and demigod here knows their name, and every grass is associated with the demigods. This is mostly bragging, but it also reflects the influence of the demigods here.

The orcs were initially driven out of the forest by the elves, and Sarufar said that the Warsong clan of Grom was initially beaten badly by the elves, and that the elves were not only ordinary soldiers, but also ...... Treants, and ...... Some druids. In other words, there are a lot of types of elves! The orcs were initially unstoppable. Even if the tribal coalition later pressed to the forest border, it did not change the status quo.

It wasn't until later that Grom caught a familiar smell.

That's what Sarufar said, when the plague broke out in their camp, the whole camp was almost paralyzed, and even caused the orc tribes, and the minotaur trolls to leave the camp and camp separately.

The witch doctors and shamans in the camp tried their best to treat them, not that they were useless, but the effect was not very obvious. In this case, the minotaurs and trolls withdrew. Sarufar said they were angry, but they couldn't do anything because their chief was not in the camp at the time.

And Grom, as the commander-in-chief, could not come up with an effective solution when facing the spread of the plague. In fact, everyone's thoughts at that time were ...... Fall back.

But Grom felt a smell of déjà vu in the camp. The smell made Grom feel refreshed! Then he led the people into the forest.

I didn't tell Sarufar about the pool...... I'm afraid he'll be sad. He told me that Grom and his group were looking for traces in the forest, where they found a mysterious pool.

Gross then wanted all the tribesmen to taste the water in the pool, but by the time he returned, the minotaurs and trolls had already withdrawn. This shocked him, and made him extremely angry.

One of the shamans who discovered the pool with Grom and survived later mentioned that when they discovered the pool, Grom was shocked, then rejoiced, and finally ecstatic.

As a shaman, of course he knows that this pool is not an ordinary pool, and as a senior shaman, he knows that the energy in this pool is not good energy.

What we think is good is generally ...... The flavors are all aromatic and sweet. But the smell in the pool should be said that no one will like it until they are touched.

The shaman had never drunk the blood of demons, but he knew that the water in the pool might not be a good thing, so he advised Grom not to make any rash contact, but he said that Grom didn't listen at all, and the guy didn't even look at him, so he pushed him away and walked straight to the edge of the pool. And his people gathered around.

He said that Grom's eyes were not normal, and that he had never seen those eyes shine before. Grom's face...... He is ugly, he is described as having high cheekbones and higher brow bones, but not large eyes.

According to the shaman, Grom's small eyes were very wide at that time, and the light emitted from his eyes was even a little crazy. It's called that shaman, and it feels a little ...... Surprised, even a little terrifying, he wanted to stop but Grom's size was huge, and his strength was even more terrifying, and at this time he didn't dare to stop the chief of the Warsong Clan.

Seeing Grom leaning over the edge of the pool, he slowly stretched out his hand to test the water in the pool, and the shaman said that when Grom's hand was about to touch the water, the water reacted, as if the water was sensing Grom.

The water began to ripple, and the ripples gradually widened, and then the surface of the water began to rise and fall significantly, and when Grom put his hand into the water, the water tumbled like a boiling pot, and although the tumbling was not large, and the waves were small, the situation really frightened him.

He said the look on Grom's face made him a little ...... It's hard to accept, is it madness or excitement or ...... The shaman said he wasn't quite descriptive, except that Grom seemed to be enjoying it.

Then the chief took the water from the pool and drank it, saying that when Grom poured it into it, it was like a satisfied addict.

Grom trembled, he gritted his teeth and whined out of his throat, and the trembling Grom's body changed, the muscles were expanding at a rate visible to the naked eye, and it could be said that Grom was later a full circle larger than before drinking the water.

That's not all, the point is that his eyes are blood-red again!

That's what I ...... It's different from you.

That's when Sarufar pointed me in the eye and said...... You are with his eyes...... The same.

Grom's change shocked all his people, and Grom didn't immediately let his people drink the water in the pool after seeing the change in his body, but felt the condition of his body for a while before pointing to the water in the pool and saying, "It's time for them to feel the wrath of the orcs!" ”

The shaman said that all the Warsong tribesmen except him were crazy. They even jumped into the water to fully feel the pleasure of the green water of the pool.

The shaman said that Grom's behavior puzzled him, but Sarufar said that many people knew about it at the time.

The thirty or so Warsong Clan warriors also drank the liquid like their patriarch, and after their bodies were mutated, they were said to be able to defeat a hundred. And it turns out to be true!

The shaman didn't drink the liquid in the end, and he flinched, and although Grom looked down on him, it was the timid shaman who told their story.

Soon all the Warsong clan members were brought here, and they all drank the demon's blood again. And in the end, there was not much water left in this pool. Later, after this group of people from the Warsong Clan brought back the last bit of water, no one from the other tribes made it up.

Even though everyone saw that all the people of the Warsong Clan were strong, no one went up to receive the water, and Sarufar did not allow his people to drink it. In this embarrassing situation, Grom did not embarrass them, but just threw down the word coward with disdain and left.

The magic of this blood is better than some healing potions, and in battle this blood can relieve pain, stop bleeding, and heal wounds. What's more important is to keep the person who drinks it berserk.

Because of this, the Warsong Clan, which was still plagued by the plague, immediately regained their health, and their morale was so high that they couldn't hold back their desire to release it. So they abandoned the other tribes, those who were still struggling with the plague, and joined the battle alone.

It was they who provoked the battle.

The combat power of the Warsong Clan was bursting, it was no longer ordinarily strong, and the elven front line that pushed them out of the forest was pulled out by the Warsong Clan in one night.

The elven army is defeated!

After the news was transmitted back to the camp, everyone was shocked by the news, but everyone did not move, after all, the plague caused many people to almost lose their combat effectiveness.

Seeing that there weren't many people responding, Grom didn't care, and the Warsong Clan had almost no opponents at this time.

The sneak attack on the elven camp that night should be said to be the result of luck and strength, although there are many elves, but they can't stand the orcs from slashing and slashing while taking drugs, this group of troops who don't care about life and death at all and have such a strong combat power drove the elves away.

After that battle, the Warsong clan marched forward, and the elves also tried to organize a counterattack, but the orcs attacked too fiercely, and there was almost no rest, and the retreating elven troops were in hot pursuit. This style of fighting in a hurry makes it impossible for elves to fight.

If it weren't for the help of the demigods, the main elven force that might have collapsed would have been wiped out.

But the demigods only saved them twice, the second time after the Warsong Clan defeated the elven army and set up their camp in the heart of the forest and built a base there.

After getting a certain respite, the elves decided to sneak attack the orcs who were building a large camp, although the number of the Warsong clan at this time was not very large, but the elves did not take advantage of it at all, and thousands of people were in vain. If it weren't for the demigods who came to the rescue with the druids, there would have been even more dead.

After being mixed up twice in a row, Grom was determined to kill him.

But it's not easy to kill this demigod, and I've heard that he's the mentor of the greatest druid among the elves. This guy who can call the wind and rain is not only strong in spells, but also psychic. He also played a huge role in the collapse of the sky 10,000 years ago, but such a powerful creature eventually died under the rampaging orc axe.

I didn't see how Grom killed him, but I did see the guy's head.

A very strange ...... Just look at it and you'll never forget it...... The head.
