Chapter 3: The Orc Camp
The next morning, when he woke up, Huo Chuji did not rush down from the tree, but probed again in the way he did before going to bed last night, and then meditated to restore his energy to the best, and then continued to move forward according to the position of the rising sun. During the wilderness survival course at the junior college, the teachers used to teach you to keep a calm mind and make sure you are safe before you act, no matter what kind of environment you are in.
At this point, fourteen hours had passed since the time they first arrived.
While walking, Huo Shuji estimated the distance, he maintained a steady speed, although time kept passing, but every time his body energy and soul power were consumed by about thirty percent, he would rest and recover.
I have to say that in this kind of environment where the vision is more seriously obstructed, the skill of mental detection is too easy to use, which can help him find a water source and some fruits smoothly to ensure that his physical strength is abundant.
It wasn't until about noon that he finally walked out of the woods. Ahead, in the distance, the first thing that caught his eye was a wilderness, and the next moment, Huo Shuji was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
Huge tents form an undulating camp that stretches as far as the eye can see, and huge wooden fences close and cover the tents. The sharpened roots of the giant trees stand upright, some diagonally outward.
Huo Qiji's spiritual power is far different from ordinary people, and from a distance, he can vaguely feel that there is a faint burning sensation in this huge camp, it is not from the temperature, and he can't tell what it is.
Then he saw some strange existence.
A group of hundreds of cavalry was galloping from the side of the camp, and the cavalry was not riding horses, but a huge wolf, about three meters long and more than one meter seven tall at the shoulders. He had a saddle on his back and even a helmet with sharp horns on his head. The limbs are thick, the wolf claws are especially large, and the speed of running is like flying.
And the knight sitting on the back of this giant wolf also looks very strong, with a wolf head and a human body, all two meters tall, with a big bow on his back, quivers hanging on both sides of his thighs, and heavy weapons such as maces in his hands. The giant wolf ran wildly, and the knight on the wolf's back let out a piercing wolf howl from time to time.
Wolf Knight?
Looking at this scene, Huo Shuji couldn't help but gasp, he was completely sure that with his martial soul who was not too good at fighting at all, even if he faced a wolf knight one-on-one, he was afraid that it would be over. He also vaguely understood now what the source of the blazing heat he was feeling, it was the fluctuation of the qi and blood of these orcs! In this rolling camp, the number of orcs is probably not less than 100,000. An army of 100,000 orcs!
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Huo Qiji understood that his task was to pass through this large camp within three hundred hours, and then reach the border city where the human race was.
Not to mention that he is just a twenty-first-level soul master, even if he is a sixtieth-level soul emperor, as long as it is not a martial soul that is just suitable for concealment, I am afraid it is unlikely that he will pass it alive.
He is young and simple-minded, and what he thinks at this moment is that it is definitely not possible to rush hard, so he can only wait for the opportunity to see if he can sneak over.
There must be a chance, Huo Shuji secretly determined in his heart, after all, this is just a freshman entrance assessment! If you don't have a chance at all, you probably won't be able to pass even the graduation assessment, right?
Since he was looking for an opportunity, he had no choice but to wait, but he did not relax, and began to recall in his mind all the things he had experienced from the moment he reported his enrollment, especially the introduction of the task in front of him.
His mental power is still quite good, so his memory is also very good, and he thinks about it carefully, not letting go of every detail when he was given a task before.
The more he thought about it, the more certain he was that he definitely had a chance. The task shouldn't be so difficult that it can't be done. What's more, he clearly remembers that as a freshman assessment, this mission has a protection mechanism, that is, even if he fails the mission, he will not die here.
As soon as he thought of this, Huo Qiji's courage suddenly increased.
At this moment, suddenly, a violent roar sounded. "Boom-"
This sudden roar frightened Huo Shujian and almost jumped up from the ground, shivered smartly, and instantly turned on his spiritual detection, crawling in the bushes, looking in the direction of the orc camp.
"Boom, boom, boomβ"
A series of roars rang out, and the entire orc camp instantly became lively. The various orc soldiers quickly assembled, and then quickly converged in the opposite direction of the camp from him.
This is......
Although he didn't know enough about this plane, Huo Shuji also vaguely guessed that this should be the assembly of the army, and what was the purpose of the assembly? Fight? Expedition?
When the army goes out, the camp will naturally become empty, and your opportunity should be at this time, right?
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately retreated into the woods behind him.
He had been thinking about various ways just now, and at this time, the orc army went on the expedition, and the opportunity naturally came.
He quickly searched for some leafy vines in the woods, and simply woven them into a two-meter by two-meter quilt. Then I made a straw ring and put it on my head.
The leaf quilt is draped over his body, with a grass ring on his head, and his hands are pulled through the leaf quilt from both sides, covering his body as much as possible. And then they came out of the woods again.
At this time, the roar of orcs like a tsunami of mountains was constantly heard in the distance. Huo Shuji didn't try to pass through the orc camp now, but wore this leaf quilt and used it as a big cloak to cover his body. Then I quickly found a place on higher ground, and then found a large tree here and climbed up.
After all, he was a soul master, and his physical fitness was still much stronger than that of ordinary people, so he quickly climbed to the top of the tree, and then looked into the distance, towards the orc camp and beyond.
He didn't rush to try to break through the orc camp, it was because Huo Shuji understood that he might only have one chance. Because once discovered, it will definitely die, although it will not really die, but its own assessment will definitely fail.
So, he has to be as prepared as he can before making this what could be his only chance.
The soul power worked, condensed on the eyes, and two soul rings rose, and the yellow luster of the soul ring was blocked by him with a leaf quilt. Even if he is under the tree, it is not easy to see him at this time.
The martial soul was stimulated, and Huo Qiji's eyes suddenly revealed a bit of a blank color, and his eyesight suddenly increased greatly.
His spiritual eye martial soul, the basic talent is vision enhancement, without the use of spiritual detection, the vision is also several times that of ordinary people, and it will continue to improve with the improvement of cultivation.
At this time, concentrating on the distance, taking advantage of the high terrain, Huo Qiji saw that the army of the orc clan had been assembled on the other side of the camp, with a total of eight phalanxes, among them, the two phalanxes on both sides were composed of five thousand people The wolf cavalry he had seen before.
In addition, the only thing he could recognize in the four phalanxes in the middle was each of them more than three meters tall, armed with a heavy shield and a giant hammer. Several other races, he was still a little unrecognizable for a while.
At the front of the army, there were more than a dozen extremely burly beings, all of whom were more than four meters tall, extremely majestic, shirtless, holding heavy weapons, pointing in the distance.
At this time, looking far away from this higher place, Huo Shuji finally saw the destination of his mission. Because the distance was so far away, even with his eyesight, he could only vaguely see the outline of a city wall in the distance.
Over there, it must be a human city. The leader of the orc army may seem to be the strongest race of the orc race mentioned in the information he obtained before, the Beamon Behemoth.
Huo Qiji stared at the battlefield for a moment, at this time, on the wilderness plain, at least more than 40,000 orc armies were gathered, and more than 10,000 people were boundless, not to mention that the size of orcs was much larger than that of humans. The shocking visual impact made him feel like his blood was boiling. Is this the war of the age of cold weapons? It's really shocking!
At this moment, suddenly, in the distance, a loud dragon groan suddenly sounded, "Ang-"
Behind the human wall, a giant dragon rose into the air, a loud dragon moan echoed in the sky, and a human sitting faintly on the dragon's back. The dragon's roar was long and loud.
On the side of the fortress, there is no human army, obviously not planning to fight head-on, but to hold the city.
At this moment, a low, but blood-boiling horn sounded on the side of the orc army, "Woo-woo-woo-"
"Roarβ" A loud roar rang out, and the orc army began to press down in one piece.
The wolf cavalry on both sides was the fastest, and the wolf knight rode his own wolf and suddenly accelerated, with a burst of wolf howls and whistles, and went straight to the human fortress.
The war is about to begin!
In the direction of the human fortress, there was a faint amount of colored light flickering, Huo Qiji's spiritual eyes had a great increase in spiritual power, and he could vaguely judge that it seemed to be the power of the element, but at such a distance, he could see that there was a colored halo appearing, so what kind of degree of condensation of this element should be?
Seeing that the wolf cavalry was about to arrive in front of the fortress, in the direction of the human fortress, countless fireballs, wind blades, and ice picks suddenly flew out. Straight in the direction of the wolf cavalry covered and down.
The wolf cavalry quickly turned, changing from a frontal charge to a sideways gallop, but also took off the big bow in his hand and shot arrows in the direction of the head of the fortress.
The orc army began to speed up, and some strange sounds also sounded in the rear of the orc army, Huo Qiji saw that a faint red light began to spread from the rear of the orc army to the front, and the orcs who were shrouded in red light suddenly became manic, and their speed increased greatly.
What kind of power is that? Similar to the secondary kicker?
The head of the human fortress should be defended by a magician, right?
Huo Shuji, who watched this epic scene in front of him, was a little uncontrollable, how strong this general who commanded the army was! This feeling is really too hot-blooded.
Soon, he was a little dizzy. The magic released from the head of the human fortress began to become powerful, and often a single magic drop could cover an area of hundreds or even thousands of square meters. All kinds of magic that he couldn't name fell into the battle formation of the orc army with violent elemental fluctuations. And the orc army was also extremely strong and launched an attack on the fortress.
Can't wait any longer. Huo took a deep breath.
At first, he thought that he would carefully observe and calculate the time of the war between the two sides, and wait for the next time the orcs and humans would fight again, he would be looking for an opportunity.
But judging from the collision of this scale in front of him, the two sides will definitely go through a period of recuperation after the big battle, and I don't know how long this battle will last, and my current time is less than fifty hours left. I can't afford to wait! You have to take advantage of this opportunity to make your way through the orc camp.
Thinking of this, Huo Shuji didn't care about paying attention to the battlefield anymore, and quietly stayed from the tree, disguised himself in a leaf quilt, and his spiritual detection was fully open, and then bent over, taking advantage of the cover of the terrain, and quickly approached in the direction of the orc camp.
At this time, the attention of the orc army is also all on the battlefield, but there are still patrolling and reconnaissance soldiers in the barracks.
However, Huo had already observed the route from a high place before, and walked along the edges of some small hills, until he was only about a kilometer away from the orc camp, and then stopped. Because there is no more shelter ahead.
At this time, the shouting and roaring sound of killing in the direction of the battlefield resounded in the sky. Huo Shuji can still be seen occasionally, and the dragon knights in the air occasionally swoop into the battlefield to participate in the battle.
After a little rest, he ate the last few fruits in his arms, replenished his physical strength, and drank the water stored in the bamboo tube. He set off again.
Creeping forward!
Under the cover of Ye was camouflaged, Huo Shuji began to creep forward quietly, relying on the sense of spiritual detection to the outside world, he didn't need to look up, and the situation within a certain range of the outside world was also in his perception.
After every fifty meters he climbed, he paused for a moment to rest before continuing to crawl forward.
β¦β¦
In front of the huge screen, there were three people standing at this time.
A man in the center is handsome, looking about thirty years old, with long blue hair scattered behind his head, and the whole person looks casual and casual, but at this moment, looking at the figure on the screen who is constantly squirming forward with a leaf quilt, his face is surprised.
He turned his head to look at the young man next to him who was slightly younger than himself, "Killing this kid, doesn't he want to infiltrate the orc camp from the front and then travel through it?" β
The corners of the young man's mouth twitched, "It looks like he misjudged." In the first act of this mad god plane, the normal clearance should be to go to the side as fast as possible, bypass the orc camp, and then go to the human Stroll Fortress. The straight-line distance is 300 meters, and if you add a detour, it is about 500 miles. For soul masters above level 20, as long as they hurry up, it is not a difficult thing. β
The middle-aged man smiled, "The setting of this scene should be relatively normal for ordinary children, as long as you concentrate and have a certain physical background, it should not be difficult to pass." However, it is somewhat unsuitable for slashing diseases. His own ability is spirit eyes, and his physical fitness is weaker than that of other freshmen, and if it takes seventy-two hours and five hundred miles, it will be a little farther for him. Moreover, he has a calm personality, and he tries to maintain his physical fitness and scout carefully along the way, and he wastes a lot of time by being cautious and cautious at night to ensure safety. Therefore, it may not be that he didn't judge the way to detour, but he subconsciously thought that there was not enough time to do that, so he thought about going through it to clear the level. β
The beautiful woman on the other side of the middle-aged man said angrily: "This is the problem you have when you set the level." Dad, you still have to adjust! This stupid child, passing through the middle, is not only several times more difficult, as long as he is discovered by an orc, he will not want to pass this assessment. β
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's wait and see." β
