8. Minotaur
Lilia didn't know where Aisha was going, but apparently she didn't have any intention of taking Liliah to the original team's destination for the time being, waiting to meet the team.
In fact, Aisha just took herself all the way along the scattered oases of all sizes in the desert. But this aimless and inefficient way of doing things was something that Lilier hated at all - no way, she could enjoy the feeling of flying in the sky, and Liliet wished that time could pass more slowly.
"Aisha, why are we moving along these oases?"
After being held in Aisha's arms and looking down at the earth from the sky for a long time, Lilia asked Aisha.
"Although there is no way to find the god exactly, it is somewhat helpful to determine that her range of activities is still some time away from before, right?"
"Could it be that the clues are these scattered oases?"
"That's right, this can be seen as her footprints......"
The "age" of these oases is very young, it should be, it only germinated during this period of time, right?
Lilia also thought of something: "Can the power of the gods bring the barren desert to life? Even the ground that has dried up can seem to burst out of thin air......
"Otherwise, how can it be called a 'god'? The real god is not those who can only pretend to be 13, there is no need to show any miracles in one fell swoop many times, her existence is a miracle to mortals. ”
At that time, I didn't have the capital to be called a god...... Aisha laughed at herself helplessly—after all, that one. It has a special meaning for all the creatures living on this land. Compared to her strength, other people call it "force". It seems that it is more suitable for showing off your might~
"Although it is said that in the beginning, it was Lilia your ancestors who served her as a sacrifice...... However, until now, there are still races that believe in her on this land. Well, the humans who have actually received the most from her favor have completely forgotten her. On the contrary, some of the races who have been living in this land that is not rich are still devout in their faith...... No, compared to faith. It's closer to the feeling of 'gratitude', right?"
After all, that honest and upright race is a very small minority, and they don't put gods on the altar, but treat them like mothers......
"Huh?"
Aisha's gaze. Suddenly, he caught something on the ground beneath him.
"That's really ...... What do you say? ”
Speaking of which. I've unconsciously deviated so far from the team's goal...... The time it takes to get around such a large circle is definitely not a small amount if you take the journey of an ordinary carriage.
"Lilier, we're going down. ”
"Eh, Aisha, did you find anything?"
"Well, some good people who need help...... It's just that I don't hate them either, so I'll help them. ”
==============
"Why do you have these nasty sandworms here!"
A young minotaur, wielding a halberd. He cut off a sandworm that broke through the ground, splashing him with foul-smelling juice in his face. The minotaur couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
"Probably...... Like us, you're attracted by water, right?"
Behind him, a minotaur who looked much older, calmly blessed his fellow citizens with spells, and at the same time stopped the young minotaur who was somewhat rising in the battlefield: "Gamor, don't be impulsive, you are not so comfortable after leaving the confines of this reinforced land. ”
"Don't worry!Even in the sand, these bugs can't do anything about me!" The young minotaur named Gammor once again defeated a sandworm that sneaked up from the ground, and a confident smile appeared on the cow's face, "Gamor will protect everyone!"
"I don't know who the bear child who was beaten every day in the tavern for provocation when he was a child......"
"Hey, why did you mention this stubble again!"
"There's no way, who let the name of 'A Thousand Deaths a Day Plus Moore' have already spread out of our village? And thanks to you, recently, many parents not only in our village, but also in many neighboring villages have reported to me that because of someone's reason, their children have learned badly, and they will call people 'Sun Thief' to provoke ......."
"But I've tried it, when I'm fighting with those greenskins, they all come to beat me as soon as I shout like this, which is very effective for disrupting and occupying and attracting hatred!"
"Before you attract the hatred of your enemies, you have already gathered all the hatred of your own people on yourself! Not everyone is as rough and thick as you, you uneducated cow!"
On the side, the other minotaurs said that they were not surprised, and buried themselves in their tasks, not distracted by the angry roar of the elders over there.
The quarrel is fierce, which proves that the relationship is good~ Gamor, who has been a problem child since he was a child, has always had a relationship with the elders, and other people in the same village (cattle) have long been used to this. Encountering such a daily development is also simple for the two of them to stop from their euphoria......
"YOOOOOOOOOO~" The bulls are in a hurry.
"Enough of you!!!!!!" X2
For this trick, it can be said that it has been tried and tested repeatedly.
After finally recovering the two main combat forces from the inexplicable dispute, the pressure on the other minotaurs suddenly lightened a lot - not to mention the old and strong elders, although Gamor's bull has a lot of hatred, his strength is still very strong, and he is also one of the best in the village.
"It's strange, aren't there other oases, why are these insects trying to fight us?"
The elders are also very strange about this.
During this period, many oases have sprung up in the surrounding desert one after another. In the beginning. Everyone thought they were dazzled, but when they actually investigated, they found that this was not a mirage at all. It's a true oasis!
Can you understand that the minotaurs, who have always been short of water, find that this phenomenon is like a dream, not a dream but a real mood? In the words of a certain scarface surnamed Zhang, who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, it is ...... In the future, Nima will use two bowls to drink water, drink one bowl and pour one bowl!
Although the honest and upright Minotaur will not be so tasteless, but. This means that you don't have to look at the faces of your next-door neighbors in the future, and they can't be calm at all!
This must be Mother Earth's manifestation!
As long as there is a sufficient amount of fixed water source, who will need to live a nomadic life in the future? Damn, are the sand thieves not as miserable as us......
Thereupon. The elders of several large villages, which were relatively fixed, held an emergency meeting and decided to send people to survey the surrounding situation on the one hand, and plan a reliable map for future decision-making, and on the other hand. We are also trying to find and gather our compatriots from the small scattered tribes - there are enough water resources. Even building a large city is not a dream!
And Gamore's side, as one of the few powerful parties in Kita Village, naturally participated in the survey team - although the leader of the team is an elder who has been in charge of himself since he was a child, and he has remained unchanged after becoming an adult, which is a little unpleasant...... Along the way, though, keep discovering the excitement of oases and water sources. Completely overwhelmed these little unpleasantness.
As a result, in this oasis. They are ambushed by swarms of sandworms.
"Rub, why are these bugs so excited, it's completely different from what I've encountered before!"
Gamor, who has always been heartless, also felt a little struggling at this time - completely different from the situation encountered in the past, these sandworms were simply not afraid of death, and attacked their side with their lives.
"If you want to eat beef, you can't find a real cow! Nima is a minotaur, although the image is very similar, but it is different from a cow!
"Perhaps, it may be as you say. ”
Although the sandworms have no eyes and refuse to distinguish their purpose from their eyes like a wild wolf, the elder can still feel the crazy desire to forage from these sandworms, and because the sandworms have a low IQ, driven by hunger, this terrible creature that would never go hungry under normal conditions has lost the only reason it has.
"Really?"
I didn't expect that my casual complaint turned into a definite answer in the mouth of the elder, and Gamore was also stunned. However, this time, he was on the front line, and he also saw that among his companions who traveled with him, there were already many people hanging lottery.
Among them, several are good friends who have played with him since childhood.
Fortunately, the Minotaur clan is strong, burly and powerful, and at the same time, the endurance and toughness are also amazingly good, although many people have been injured under the frantic attack of the sandworms, but this "small injury" will not let the sandworms get into the loophole, and the size of the Minotaur has also prevented the situation of being swallowed by the sandworms...... So until now, there have been no deaths – but only temporarily.
After all, this is just a survey team, there are few people, and the wounded minotaurs have no reserve on top, and if they continue, it will only be a matter of time before there will be casualties.
Thinking of this, Gamor jumped out of the land that had been reinforced by the Elder's spells, and also left the range of the Elder's buff spell blessings.
"What are you doing!?"
Seeing Gamor's lifeless move, the elder panicked.
The land reinforced by his own spells can effectively avoid the attack of the sandworms from underground, which is the main reason why this team of only a dozen people has been able to hold on to the attack of a large group of sandworms until now. However, once they left this area, they entered the home field of the sandworms......
You must know that for these hungry and crazy guys, their side is as difficult to gnaw as an iron lump, and now there is a "prey" alone, which is undoubtedly like a lamp for a moth, which has a fatal temptation!
"Old man, take advantage of the present moment and hurry up and treat the wounded! Otherwise, we will never survive when reinforcements arrive!"
"What about you! you guy...... This is not the time to be a hero~!"
When Gamore heard this, a mocking smile appeared on the cow's face: "Hey, hey." Don't just define me as a dead man, I'm just going to buy you a little time, but I don't have any intention of sending me to death. ”
"And. Didn't I keep saying - Gammor will protect everyone!"
With that, Gammor stomped on the sand, where infinite murder was buried, and yelled at the insects below—
"Sun Thief !!!!"
The voice is deafening and directs to people's hearts.
"Nima, return my touch!"
Seeing that the elder was about to incarnate as Qiangsa again, several minotaurs on the side hurriedly pulled their sleeves and were about to copy the elder who stepped forward - the taunt of a certain cow was really powerful, especially when using a language that his own people could understand but the enemy could not understand......
......
"Huh, why aren't there any bugs coming up?"
Gamor, who was holding a halberd in his hand, waited for a while. I found that there were no sandworms attacking me.
What's going on?
"Could it be that they were scared away by my domineering? I don't even believe it......
In Garmor's impression, his ridicule was obviously very effective against the beast, and if he really wanted to say it. The obvious effect of one's taunt takes precedence over the one's inflicted fear and intimidation effect.
"I feel it...... Underground, with the emotion of fear......"
"Are you really scared away by me?"
"Shut up! If you have the ability, I'll abdicate and let you, an uncultivated cow, be an elder!" the exasperated elder picked up the totem pole and smashed it on Garmor's head, "It's a passing master who has helped us......! You keep your mouth shut for me!"
Although there is a specialization in the art industry. But even the dark magicians who are proficient in it. It was also very terrifying to be able to do this, not to mention, the elder who was very sensitive to the elements did not feel any dark aura - that is, the strength of the other party was much stronger than that of himself who had been immersed in the way of spellcasting for many years. Such a strong man, if Gamore is cheap for a while, it will be very troublesome......
"Alright. I'm not a person who doesn't know how to be polite, and I'm good at talking to those who help us~"
Gamore just finished speaking. He found that all the cows around him were looking at him with strange eyes.
“...... What do you think of me?"
"Uneducated cows. ”xN
“......”
==============
"Eh, it's a minotaur!"
Lilia screamed at the sight of Aisha's rescuer - although this race is famous, it is also very mysterious, and even merchants who travel from north to south rarely encounter these wanderers who wander the desert. Lilier, on the other hand, had only heard of this kind race in books.
Maybe the shape is a little tougher, but the temper of these minotaurs is more than a little easier to get along with than their neighbors. Basically, even if they argue with someone to the point of a bull's temper and provoke red eyes, they will not copy the guy and do it...... Of course, this rule is only for foreigners, and for people of the same race, there will be no hands-on. As for why do you have such strange habits...... No way, not all races have the same sturdy physique as theirs.
Even orcs, who are also known for their strength and toughness, have a hard time fighting the minotaurs in terms of personal force.
It is not impossible for a cloth-armored minotaur to shock five heavily armed orcs.
It is only in the face of people of the same race that they will be able to let go, after all, for humans and other races, it is like a thunderous slap, in their opinion, it is actually just an ordinary pat on the shoulder......
"Well, no matter how you look at it, it's a race that can't be annoyed. ”
Aisha was not stingy to give these troubled minotaurs a little help, although it seemed that they would be able to survive this trouble even without her own help, right?
Aisha's wings flapped a few times, and a restless wind swept up, which was a greeting to the minotaurs on the ground.
Sensing the fluctuation of the wind element coming from above the sky, the Minotaur elder subconsciously raised his head.
Aisha could clearly see a smile on the old and lean cow's face.
"Lilier, I'll go say hello to them, you don't have any resistance to them, do you?"
"How is that possible! You must know that the two most suitable races to be friends are dwarves and minotaurs, and I am not one of those small guys, how can I be afraid of them!"
"That's good......"
Seeing the excitement on Liliye's face, she realized how interested she was in being able to see the real Minotaur.
......
"Thank you so much for your help. ”
"Where, where, if you really want to say anything, in fact, we are doing it too much, right?"
"But no matter what, the people who watch the development of the situation with a cold eye are still different from the people who helped us, aren't they?"
The Minotaur Elder refused to accept that—even if it was a superfluous move, as Aisha had claimed, her actions still earned the favor and friendship of the Minotaur.
"Oh yes~" Aisha looked at the elder with a sincere look and said with some trouble, "You guys, have you never doubted that I approached you here with some special purpose?"
"If we really have something to worry about here, it's too late for us to be happy~"
The elder didn't care about Aisha's remarks at all.
Even if there is something that is coveted by others, they have the confidence to protect it from the prying eyes of any force.
"No, you have—maybe not before, but now, it's different. ”
Aisha's words made the elder's face solemn.
Aisha may be very young in appearance, but the Minotaur Elder does not look down on Aisha because of her appearance. Before that, she had already proven her weight.
And now, when she said such a thing, the elders couldn't help but care.
"You say, I remember. ”
"Even though your next-door neighbors, including almost everyone else, have misunderstood something, I know it. Mother Earth, who has been protecting you, has awakened once more—from the moon. (To be continued......)
