Chapter 003: Life in another world from scratch
After a night of cold, the gathering place of the Frostwolf Clan accumulated a thick layer of ice and snow, and Durotan's height of more than two meters was still not up to his knees. As the Frostwolf Chief followed Drektar slowly, the sound of fur rubbing against the snow quickly approached.
Durotan turned his head and looked at the huge figure that quickly became clear in the wind and snow, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Whew!
With a long roar, a snow-white frost wolf happily pounced on the other party.
"Haha, old man, you woke up so early. Although the beast was about the same size as himself, Durontan did not worry in the slightest, but instead caught the opponent's body with his thick arms, and stroked the opponent's soft hair very affectionately.
The Frost Wolf is a fierce beast unique to the Frost Fire Ridge, and its harsh living environment makes them give birth to thick hair and a strong physique, and this powerful hunter is the most powerful companion of the Orcs of the Frost Wolf Clan.
This frost wolf screamed at the night, its white teeth were even thicker than the average human thumb, its strength and size were superior even in its kind, and at the same time, it was Durontan's most powerful right-hand man.
The pleasure of meeting was short-lived, and after howling happily twice, they jumped off each other's bodies and stared at Drektar in front of him with grinned teeth, or rather, the real behemoth behind Drektar.
Under the reflection of sunlight and snowflakes, it seems that the whole body is inlaid with fist-sized sapphires, and the faint and charming light continues to flow on them, which is fascinating. The lizard-like head has two long bony horns protruding from each side, and is decorated with jewelry, rare metals, and other delicate decorations, which are dangerous but beautiful.
"What is this, what?" looked at the giant beast crawling in the ice and snow, Durotan's expression management was completely out of control. The last time I saw a creature of this size was when I met Goron when I faced the Dota Ogre with my father.
No, even an ordinary Goron is not as good as this creature!
"Earlier today, the scouts on the periphery were found in a deep pit that suddenly appeared in the snow. Faced with the chief's question, Drektar was equally confused, "It looks like a two-headed dragon, but it's larger, and it has no hair, it's scales." ”
"We've never seen anything like it, whether it's Frostfire Ridge or anywhere else. ”
The shaman's analysis didn't help much, and Durotan decided to rely on himself. Seeing the huge monster slowly approaching this location, the night let out a very threatening low roar, and then followed closely without the slightest hesitation.
As the distance closes, Durotan's vision is no longer obstructed by the wind and snow. A pair of wide fleshy wings with sharp bone spurs came into view, and it was obvious that this creature was the absolute overlord of the sky. But with such a huge creature soaring under the sky, why has no record been heard of before?
It's really weird......
But what really surprised Durotan was that beneath the pair of fleshy wings, his chest, which was also completely encased in azure scales, was slowly rising and falling.
It's alive!
"Don't be nervous. Seeing that Durotan's muscles were tense, Drektar quickly pointed to the creature's joints.
I saw that the thickest chains of the frost wolf clan were tightly wrapped around the other party's body, but because of the wind and snow, they were almost completely buried.
With a slight sigh of relief, Durotan relaxed. Such an unknown and powerful creature appeared in his territory, and if he did not take good precautions, he would be a serious dereliction of duty.
"Is this?" A sudden rush of darkness in his eyes made him step forward in three steps and two steps, gently brushing away the snow beneath the creature, as if he was afraid to wake the other party.
Soon, several hideous wounds appeared in front of his eyes. The scales of the chains comparable to his thighs, which could not leave even the slightest trace, were violently torn, and the decaying and carbonized flesh at the edges could be faintly seen.
Durotan could clearly feel that the mysterious power of the ominous and pitch-black was constantly eroding the life force of this creature.
"It smells like the handiwork of a white ghost orc. Although invisible, the elemental spirit's aversion and disgust to this dark force was accurately transmitted to Drektar's soul, and the disdain was already written on his face.
The White Ghost Orcs are a special group of orcs.
Since the birth of the first orc shaman, countless young orcs have pursued the path of the elements every year, and the orcs who have been favored by the elemental spirits will become the new shaman. In the process of breaking through the boundaries of the material world, a few orcs came into contact with the power of darkness by various coincidences, and these poor souls accidentally broke into another realm outside of Draenor, the Void.
The horrific sight drove them mad, and the survivors were exiled from the clan and forced to live in isolation in the underground caverns of Nagrand.
The faces of these orcs were tattooed with white skulls, signifying that they were 'dead' to their people.
"They're hunting?" Hearing this, Durontan's brow furrowed fiercely, "This is our territory!"
The Hunter Shadow Exiles are not capable of taking such a terrifying Sky Overlord as their prey, and perhaps the other way around.
Drektar shook his head decisively: "With their strength, they are not enough to touch the Frost Fire Ridge, and with an injury of this scale, even if they unite all the shamans of the Frostwolf Clan, they can't do it. ”
The frostwolf shaman's tone was filled with a deep sigh, you know, this is not modesty. Since the outbreak of the Red Scourge, the elemental spirits of this world have become chaotic and restless for unknown reasons, and almost all of the clan's shamans have been severely weakened in power.
Even the weather has become severe.
Looking up, feeling the cold snowflakes melt on his face, a deep sense of worry appeared on Durontan's face. The elemental spirit's restlessness is a great threat to the entire orc race, but now, he must deal with the immediate troubles first.
"Any clue?"
Unexpectedly, Drektar nodded: "We found it on its side, this." ”
With a wave of the shaman's hand, a frostwolf orc approached Durotan with a petite creature on his shoulder.
With two arms and two legs, and in addition to being thinner than a woman, Durotan almost thought it was someone's orc child, but he soon noticed the difference, the difference that made his brow furrow.
Unlike the rough, sturdy brown skin of the other orcs, the creature's skin was pink and white like that of a newborn cub, and its long, soft ears swayed gently in the cold wind, and the congealed frost rendered it bloodless.
And the tattered robe covered with scorched black marks.
"Is he a shaman?" instead of being cautious with the beast just now, Durotan motioned for the guards to back off and lifted the delicate creature up with his own hands.
"No, I feel it, elemental spirit. After a pause, Drektar turned his head to the individual in Durontan's arms, a touch of inexplicable emotion flashing on his face, "I'm afraid of him." ”
As he was about to ask, Durontan's attention was drawn to the blindfold on the other party's face and the brownish green lines on his neck. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly pulled open the placket of the other party's clothes.
Soon, more angular lines appeared in front of him, like the fangs and claws of some evil creature, and the mere glance at it could send chills down people's spines.
At this moment, the howl of the cold wind seemed to be more intense, and the tiny ice chips cut Durontan's cheeks like a blade, and a faint pain made him finally come back to his senses.
"Prophet, do you know this?" Durotan's voice became unusually low for some reason. It is an instinct, an instinctive rejection of life and soul.
Raising his head, Drektar held his hands on the ground, as if his whole person was completely absorbed into the wind and snow. His next words made the Frostwolf Chieftain stand upside down.
"Elemental, ...... in anger"
