Chapter 428 [Unavoidable]

The words of the cold night made the little good mood and sense of superiority that Lan Lan and Tacitus had just bred suddenly disappear!

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of deep fear and strong vigilance in each other's eyes.

Of course, in Tacitus's heart, there is a little more self-blame!

What is the reason why I am so paralyzed?

Is it because there is such a super master as a cold night along the way?

Because these days there is nothing to do?

Because after being accepted into this valley last night, I finally enjoyed that long-lost comfort?

Or is it because I saw those orcs in tattered clothes like beggars, and the contempt for these aliens in my bones, that I gradually made myself proud and frivolous?

Cold Night's words became more and more unkind, and she said slowly in a low tone: "I don't know what kind of world it is in the place where you came from, your hometown. But here, it's not as peaceful as you seem. At least...... For outsiders like you, this is not a paradise. ”

Lan Lan and Tacitus returned to their lodgings, in a bad mood all the time.

The two of them, who calmed down, carefully recalled the scene in the stone house where they had met before—some details that had been ignored because of pride at the time were quickly recalled after calming down and recalling.

Now that I think about it, the scene was really dangerous!

The leader of the orcs did not stop looking at the cold night with his eyes when he finally spoke.

Moreover, I remember that in the room at that time, there were several orc warriors, who had quietly stood in several key positions around them: the door, the table, and ...... Behind their own!

It can be said that if it were not for the shelter of a cold night. At that time, if the orcs suddenly turned their faces, even with Tacitus's skills, it would be difficult to get out of the way!

In such a narrow room, it is difficult to show it, and the strength of the orcs is naturally not doubted.

Damn it! They're orcs! What kind of good babies who love each other and love each other!

After suffering this blow, Tacitus and Lan Lan did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Originally, they planned to rest in this valley for a while longer, but because of the episode of this incident, the two only rested here for one more night after some discussion.

On the morning of the third day, the human adventurers decided to leave the valley. Continue their journey.

When it came time to say goodbye to the natives of the valley, the dwarves had no roads.

The leader of the orcs seems to be still very warm and friendly.

It's just that when they said goodbye to the humans, these orcs obviously showed a very regretful expression.

Bemoan?

The expression of this expression made Tacitus nervous for a while, and his hand was subconsciously placed closest to the hilt of the sword.

The cold night's attitude was still very calm, and she accepted the greetings and farewells of the elves, and was the first to jump on the leaves of the boat floating on the riverside.

When most of the unwitting humans in the team got on the leaves, and more than twenty leaves floated slowly down the Surumbi River out of the valley and into the open again......

Standing on the bow of the ship on a cold night. Only then did he turn his head and glance at the human long-legged chick standing behind him, wanting to stop talking.

"You're wise. Although the tone of the cold night still carried a little hint of mockery, this time it seemed to be much more relaxed.

She slowly continued, "It's smart to leave this valley early. Because...... You've shown it. The riches carried are simply too tempting. It's like putting a big piece of fragrant fat in the middle of a group of dying beasts.

Even with me in charge, it's hard for me to be sure that their greed has overwhelmed their senses. What will be done. Leaving early is good for everyone. ”

Lan Lan's body trembled, and she smiled reluctantly: "How come...... After all, you are by our side. Those guys don't dare to ...... in front of you."

"But I can't stand by your side day and night. Hanye shook his head: "If they suddenly attack, they will kill you before I come back...... So even if I found out afterwards, what if I couldn't kill them all to avenge you humans. ”

Lan Lan stopped talking.

She knew very well that what Cold Night said was the truth.

Although everyone is a companion, after all, it is just a meeting in Pingshui. Cold Night is willing to help his own people, that is the kindness and simplicity of the elf race. But if the orcs really killed some humans, Cold Night was a native here after all, and she had no reason to seek revenge on her old neighbors for the sake of some people she met in Pingshui.

"Actually, I've always wanted to remind you...... Maybe the way you come out seems to be a little too ostentatious for this continent. "A faint reminder of a cold night.

......

The elf's reminder was quickly implemented.

After experiencing the dangers of being in that valley, Lan Lan and Tacitus discussed for a long time and reacted.

In terms of the equipment and clothing of this adventure team, it is too ostentatious in this barren abandoned continent that is so barren that its neighbors can send it.

The clothes, fabrics, accessories, armor, armor, weapons and equipment they wear. Compared to these local natives, it is enough to brighten the eyes of blind people!

In such a strange and dangerous place, such a high-profile advance is simply to invite yourself to trouble.

After deliberating, the two leaders quickly made adjustments to the team.

The original Holy Knight, as the strongest armed force in the team, will not make major changes for the time being.

But all the crew, sailors and others, for the time being, collected all their weapons and concentrated them in the storage ring as a reserve.

It is actually a waste to let a group of crew sailors who actually have little combat power, holding sophisticated metal weapons.

According to Cold Night's introduction, there are many, many places on this continent similar to the valley settlement that I just left, and the pure metal weapons are in good condition and of good quality...... For example, the sailors used by these sailors, even in the settlement, can only be equipped by the chieftain.

Having a large crew of sailors with little martial arts skills swaggering all the way with the finest weapons and equipment in full metal is like letting a three-year-old child walk down the street with a huge sum of money.

Personnel of the Church, except for the magicians. All weapons and equipment were collected. The magician kept the wand, but tried to disguise the gems set in the wand as much as possible - such as applying a layer of mud.

This move was actually a blow to Tacitus.

Because before the landing, it was Tacitus who ordered everyone to bring out the best and latest clothes, the best armor, and the most elven weapons - in order to show the "human civilization" on this continent the style of the Rolands.

Outcome......

......

Continue north along this "River of Hope".

Along the way, nearly another month passed.

During this period, he passed through two settlements.

Of course, neither of these settlements was as large as the previous valley.

After all, it is extremely rare and rare to have a unique terrain like that valley.

Two settlements passing by. They are all small villages built along the banks of the Surumbi River, and the population is not too large. That's about three to five hundred people.

Through Guò Cold Night's mouth, Lan Lan and Tacitus learned more information.

More than a hundred years ago, most of the alien races on this continent migrated and marched towards the Roland continent to compete with the Roland people for land.

And the very few aliens who remained refused to leave to join the war, and were willing to stay here and continue to struggle to survive - those who stayed said. Even if life here is difficult, it's always better to go to war.

Moreover, our ancestors have lived here for 10,000 years, for these people. I have long forgotten that the ancestral homeland was on another continent.

For them, this is their home.

"There weren't many people left at that time. "The cold night told Sù Lanlan: "The total population of several races is less than 10,000. Over the past 100 years, the population may have grown somewhat. But it won't exceed 20,000 ...... The orcs are more fertile, and most of the tribes have fewer people left behind after they migrate. On average, everyone has more resources, and life is much better than before. So the population growth of orcs is the fastest. But dwarves and elves, especially elves, don't have a high fecundity in the first place, so there is hardly much growth. ”

However, Lan Lan also said that among the races that remained at the beginning, the largest number was the elven race.

Probably because the elves like comfort by nature and hate war, there are many elves who do not choose to follow Luoxue on the "road of return." ”

After passing through the two settlements, Lan Lan and Tacitus were not as relaxed as before, and they pulled themselves together without any further problems.

And after a possible convergence, coupled with so many days of trekking along the way, the human beings also looked in tatters, and the original beautiful new clothes were also full of mud and torn everywhere.

This undoubtedly reduces the "attractiveness".

In addition, there was a mysterious elf with the identity of Cold Night as a companion, and the settlements along the way received them very calmly, and then stopped for a short time and continued on the road.

Finally, on this day, in front of the Surumbi River, a very large bend suddenly appeared in the river......

Cold Night Tell Sù Blue Blue and Tacitus: It's time to go ashore!

The elves made it clear to the humans that the protection of the Surumbi River was over.

The path ahead is contrary to the safety line of this river of hope. “

"We'll walk east for a few days, and then we'll reach my elven tribe, which is a forest. It is also the largest forest on the continent. Because there is a powerful elven tribe there, it is also the safest place on the continent. But before you get there, this part of the journey will be the final test. ”

Cold Night's eyes were very strict, she looked at Lan Lan, her eyes were very deep, and then she glanced at Tacitus again.

Finally, the elf whispered something that made Lan Lan's face a little ugly.

"It would be ...... to say that But I also have to be honest with you! The rest of the journey is going to be dangerous, and ...... Because your team is relatively large, when you are in the danger zone of Guò...... It's hard for me to take care of all of you alone. So...... I must be clear to you: not all of you in this team will make it to their destination alive. On this journey, whether you want to or not...... There will be attrition. I'm sorry to tell you the bad news...... But with my ability alone, I can't guarantee the safety of all of you, what you have to do is to keep the team as close as possible, don't walk around, and try to lean on my side...... And. Some of the trails are very difficult to walk, and the terrain and environment are terrible. ”

These words sent chills down the hearts of Lan Lan and Tacitus!

......

After the team went ashore, they made a final rest. Taking advantage of the fact that they had not yet left the scope of this "river of hope", everyone stayed by the river for a night, rested well, slept well, and replenished their bodies.

This is the last refuge of the Surumbi River for everyone.

Early the morning of the second day ashore, the team set out on this dangerous journey.

Cold Night didn't lie!

Day 3 of the re-walk on the shore...... Attrition took place.

On the plain that originally looked flat, walking and walking, the side of the team. Several crew members who had unknowingly separated from the team, and suddenly after an exclamation, the ground under their feet collapsed, and a sinkhole appeared!

Immediately, four unlucky crew members fell straight in!

The collapse of the ground spread rapidly, and the people around them scattered in all directions with screams and screams.

In the end, the area of this sinkhole reached more than ten meters wide.

A terrifying scene that makes people feel numb in the scalp has happened!

Underneath the sinkhole, there are piles of squirming bugs!

These bugs resemble ants, but each one is bigger than a mouse!

The four people who fell down only had time to let out a few screams before they were bitten to death by these huge ants!

What's even more terrifying. Some giant ants have gotten straight through their mouths and are bursting out of their stomachs!

The tragedy happened so fast!

And when the sinkhole collapsed, the people around were busy scattering to avoid it to make sure they wouldn't fall again.

And when Cold Night and Tacitus came up to try to save him. The four people below were silent.

There are thick black tunnels on the pit, which are deep and secluded, leading to the underground I don't know how deep......

And the four unlucky crew members were dragged by those giant ants. Lost in the corridor......

Then the sand rolls and it is buried again!

Tacitus was so brave that he drew his sword and was about to jump down the sinkhole. But the cold night grabbed him.

"It's useless. The elf's tone was almost cold: "These insects are highly poisonous, if you bite them, they will die quickly, and even if you can drag people back, they won't survive...... And you, even if you have good martial arts, as long as you are bitten, you will die. ”

Tacitus' body froze.

He could understand some elven language, but he couldn't speak, and he just stared at the cold night in vain.

Hanye sighed softly: "I'm sorry...... I told you a long time ago that someone would die along the way. There's nothing I can do. ”

After a pause, the elf continued to explain:

"These strange bugs are entrenched underground...... In fact, they are rarely active, entrenched underground as if they were feigning death, but they dig traps on the surface. If no prey falls into the pit, they can even stay motionless all year round...... The bodies of these bugs are very strange and have a lot of earth elements, so even I, standing here, I can't detect the presence of the bugs in the ground if they are not moving—unless they move. Otherwise, even if I use my mental sense, I will only mistakenly think that it is a pile of sand and stones. ”

This accident aroused everyone's vigilance.

In the next journey, Cold Night took the initiative to walk at the forefront of the team, and everyone only dared to step on the ground she walked behind her, and no one dared to move to the sides at will.

But even so, something happened again.

On the evening of the tenth day......

In the middle of the night, a man in his sleep...... This time it was a clergyman from the church who was killed.

This poor fellow suddenly jumped up in his sleep, dancing like crazy, and the people around him tried to hold him down after being awakened, but he was immediately dragged back by the cold night that rushed over for the first time!

Cold Night almost used a rough technique to kick away the people who tried to get close to that guy one by one!

Tacitus was not hot-headed, but stood in front of the cold night and shouted, "Save him!!"

This elven phrase was learned by Tacitus on the road with Lan Lan.

Cold Night's reaction was very cold, and she shook her head at Tacitus, slowly, but resolutely!

Next. Everyone saw that the guy who was dancing suddenly pounced on the ground again, and then suddenly a layer of black smoke floated up on his body!

"Stand back !!"

Cold Night immediately dragged a few humans around him, pulled them behind him, and kept retreating.

At this time, both Lanlan and Tacitus saw it clearly!

So where is the black smoke......

It's a big bunch...... Tiny bugs!

Each bug was about the size of a grain of sand! Crowded together and flying, it looked like a cloud of black smoke!

Looking at the cold night as if facing a great enemy, no human dared to step forward to provoke.

And this black "smoke" flew up, but the cold night suddenly grabbed something from his arms and raised it!

That's a lump of green powder!

Bang. As soon as the "smoke" came into contact with the green powder, it immediately seemed to encounter something particularly frightening, quickly retreated, and then gradually disappeared into the night, far away......

"It's a more terrible insect. Cold Night explained to Tacitus: "They are afraid of the sun and only move in the dark...... Ordinary means simply cannot prevent it. Once they get on your body, they quickly inject eggs from your pores...... Then the person will die. The eggs are so small that they are not even visible to the naked eye, but they are very toxin. It will make people go crazy for a while, and then die. ”

She looked down at the guy on the ground...... On the surface, he didn't seem to have any scars, but if you walked in a little bit, you could see it. You will see his bare skin...... There was a slight redness - as if it had been rubbed hard with a hand.

"He's dead. Cold Night's voice was soft: "You have at least burned his body...... Because his corpse now has a lot of eggs from that terrible bug...... This thing reproduces very quickly, and it takes up to three days for the eggs to hatch into more bugs. ”

After a pause, Hanye sighed: "Fortunately." The lifespan of this bug is very short, from hatching to death, they only live for about a dozen days. And as long as it is exposed to the sun, it will quickly be sunburned. During the day, they hide underground or in crevices of rocks. ”

Tacitus's eyes were fixed on the cold night's hand.

Lan Lan stood behind him, sighed, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Lord Cold Night, what did you just spill ......?"

"It's a plant powder, it's the natural enemy of this little insect, every time I go out, I take some with me, and sprinkle some around when I'm resting, so that they don't dare to approach. ”

Tacitus understood! Then he was furious!

His eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "If you have such a thing, why don't you use it!!! If you had used it, he wouldn't have been attacked by these bugs in his sleep!!"

Although Han Ye couldn't understand Roland, looking at Tacitus's excited and angry expression, he probably guessed the meaning of Tacitus's words.

The elf said coldly, "I didn't expect to meet so many of you before I went out. I carry very little powder of this plant, only enough for me to camp alone at night! And now there are so many people in the group, and the area of the camp is so large, I don't have enough powder to carry at all! And I have already used it for you! Otherwise, how do you think you spent the previous two nights safely? It's just that before the camp tonight, I don't have much powder left, and there is still a long way to go...... I'll save some for later!"

After a pause, the elf stared at Tacitus, and his eyes became more sharp: "What do you think this plant powder is? This is a kind of flower stamen from a cannibal tree that eats people!! It is very dangerous to collect this kind of stamen! Among our elves, these stamens are collected every year during the flower season, so that the elves risk their lives to get close to these dangerous cannibal trees!"

Lan Lan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly explained these words to Tacitus.

Tacitus listened, his face turned red, he took a deep look at the cold night, took a breath, and then whispered, "I'm sorry...... I misunderstood you, and I apologize to you. ”

Seeing that Tacitus bowed slightly to himself, Han Ye turned sideways and retreated, and said softly to Lan Lan: "You sue him, I won't be angry with him, I understand his feelings about the loss of his companion...... But please all remember, I warned you, this road is very dangerous! Death is inevitable!"
