Chapter 146: Trapped

PS: Recently, I wrote that the Valley of the Ice Wind was stuck, and I decided to take a two-day break to burn the manuscript first, and run the group to find inspiration by the way. If you have any good ideas, you can leave a message in the book review area, thank you very much.

Amy carefully peered through the cracks in the rocks to observe the situation outside. These chaotic guys have no rules at all in the camp, just a mess and a mess. The male warriors shouted and cursed the women in the ranks, urging them to start cooking. It didn't take long for a large bonfire to be lit throughout the Rocky Hills, and a large amount of unknown meat and wild vegetables were thrown into the pot. Ten minutes later, the fragrance wafted in through the cracks in the stone.

The orc warrior touched his stomach, and the smell made him a little hungry. "Head, can you get me something to eat when I'm hungry?"

Zuvosa kicked him hard, and she was now nervous and broke out in a cold sweat, for fear that the orcs outside would find out. And this guy still has the heart to eat. Vaughn scratched his head in embarrassment at the sight of the ranger's fierce eyes, and then looked at Henry with a pleading gaze.

"Here's some jerky. Try not to make a sound while eating, the magic I just applied didn't have a soundproof effect. Henry took out a packet of jerky and handed it over, and whispered.

Vaughn cracked his mouth and smiled, took the bag and sat down to eat it, nothing was more important to him than filling his stomach. Henry looked at Ares, who was not salivaing beside him, smiled and shook his head, and gave it a bag.

After calming the two foodies, he came to the cave door and lowered his voice Doamy said, "You go and rest for a while, let me see what they are doing." The girl nodded, slowly stepped back, and found a clean stone to sit down and rest. The cave is very quiet. Even the usually talkative Bambock knew that things didn't seem good.

Henry looked closely for the orcs. Mentally calculates the combat effectiveness of these guys. A third of the entire tribe were adult warriors. There were about 3,000 to 4,000 people. Most of the rest are women, the elderly, and children, and these vulnerable groups have a very low status, and it is common to see adult men grabbing a woman and copulating around a campfire.

Soon the orcs were ready to eat, and the warriors violently drove away the old men and children who were waiting by the pot to eat, and rushed up to scoop up the food with their spoons and fill their mouths. They are pushing each other for advantageous positions, and in some places they have even begun to fight with each other. The leader sat on a chair made of animal skins, and he watched the fight below with great interest, without the slightest intention of stopping it.

The scene is getting more and more chaotic. The priest of the orc god "Guush" stepped forward and reminded: "Great Saxam chief, you should stop these impulsive fellows, or in a moment the whole camp will be destroyed by them." ”

"Don't worry, the supreme Geush teaches us that orcs are meant to be strong in battle, and that the weak don't deserve to live." Sam raised a glass made of human skulls and drank it down. The priest nodded, clasped one hand on his chest with an evil emblem engraved with an eye socket, and silently prayed to him.

Dinner ended in this constant fight, and the well-fed orcs began to wrestle with each other around the campfire, laughing loudly at the fallen ones. The victor raised his hands triumphantly, showing off his strong body and the scars on it.

Henry frowned. He used his "farsightedness" to see the strong orc leader. The terrifying warrior was covered in scars, his fingers were thick at the joints, and his palms were covered with calluses. Judging from his various movements, this guy must have been through a hundred battles, and it is very likely that he is a legend.

Just as Henry was about to continue observing, the priest standing next to the orc leader suddenly noticed the anomaly. He immediately began to cast a magic spell, and then dispelled the "farsightedness" with a "disenchantment".

Thamm quickly stood up and walked over to the priest and asked, "What's going on!" Why do you suddenly use divine magic? ”

"Someone was using a spell to snoop around here just now, and I cast a magic spell to dispel this magic effect." The priest hurriedly lowered his head and explained that he did not want to be misunderstood by this powerful and tyrannical leader.

Thamm narrowed his eyes and began to walk around the chair. After a few minutes he stopped and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the wolves that were sent out as strikers must be around here, right?" ”

"Yes, they should have started hunting around here two days ago, and the hunters who followed should not be far away." The priest nodded and replied in a low voice.

Thamm suddenly grabbed an axe he was about to see and smashed the table in front of him. He yelled angrily, "Go and signal! Let these guys go find me! If I can't find a voyeur, I'll kill them and get angry! ”

"Yes! Great chief, I'm going to send them a signal. The priest turned around and ran, he almost had the axe aimed at him.

Henry, who was hiding in the cave, was startled when he found that his spell had been dispelled, but he was relieved to see that the orcs outside had not made any big moves. Night was falling, and the chaotic camp was slowly quieting down. The thick-skinned orcs lay asleep on the gravel-covered ground, completely oblivious to the howling wind of the night.

Henry retreated into the cave and whispered to all the others, "Get ready, and we'll sneak out quietly by midnight." Remember to wrap your boots in cloth and never make any noise. ”

Zuvosa asked with some confusion: "Why don't you wait until tomorrow, when these guys will leave on their own." ”

"I was discovered by a priest who had just performed the "farsightedness", and it probably won't be long before he finds this place. In order to avoid long nights, the sooner you leave, the better, otherwise you will die once you are stuck here. Henry smiled wryly as he explained why.

Vaughn leaned over and raised his own proposal with excitement on his face. "Why don't we kill them, those ordinary warriors won't be able to resist our attack anyway. When the time comes, just kill their leader, and these disorganized guys will soon collapse. ”

Henry shook his head with a wry smile. "The leader this time isn't that easy to kill, and if I'm not mistaken, he's not much worse if he's not a legendary warrior."

"Legendary Warrior! You must be kidding, right? Oh my God! If it were true, he would have killed us all by himself. Zubosa's eyes widened in surprise, she couldn't believe that there could be a legendary pro in such a remote place.

Amy sighed deeply and said, "It seems that this trip is really full of bad luck, only to deal with a giant beast that can be infinitely reborn, and now I have met a legendary warrior." I really don't know what more terrifying things lie ahead. ”

"I'm really looking forward to having a one-on-one fight with this fighter to see how powerful the legendary warrior really is." As he spoke, the orc warrior began to wipe his weapon, a yearning expression on his face.

Henry walked over and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly. "Next time I have a chance, there are at least three thousand heavily armed orc warriors out there, and I don't think they'll give you a one-on-one chance."

Vaughn sighed helplessly, silently put away his weapon and nodded. For the rest of the day, no one spoke again, and they hurried to close their eyes and recuperate, because in the next few days, they were likely to be hunted down by orcs and wolves. A few hours later, midnight fell, and the whole camp was silent.

Henry winked at the orc warrior, who hurried over and vigorously removed the stone blocking the doorway. Everyone wrapped their boots in cloth and tried to lighten their steps as much as possible so that the gravel under their feet did not make too much noise. Soon the group left the camp unharmed, and just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a wolf's howl sounded in the distance.

"Not good! The orcs must have summoned these guys back. We'll have to run or we'll be caught up soon. Zuvosa said with a frown.

Henry immediately performed an "acceleration technique" and said to the Ranger, "You lead the way in front, and we will use the run now." This spell won't last long, but it should help us get some distance first. ”

Zuvosa nodded, and without saying a word, he took the lead and ran towards the east, followed closely by the others. Under the effect of the magic, all the people ran as fast as they could, and in just a few minutes, they could no longer see the orc camp behind them. It didn't take long for the effects of the "Acceleration Technique" to begin to fade away, and their speed slowed down little by little.

The group began to feel a wave of tiredness, and someone kept sprinkling cold water from the kettle on their faces, hoping to sober up a little. After marching like this for more than an hour, Amy couldn't support it anymore, and she fell to the ground and began to fall asleep. Henry hurriedly walked over and helped her up, briefly examined her, and was relieved that nothing was wrong.

Zuvosa dragged his tired body over and asked, "What should we do, we won't be able to support it for long if we continue like this." And if you've been so tired and in a hurry, I'm afraid you won't even have the ability to fight back if you get caught up. ”

"After holding on for a while, we have to find a safe place to rest. The terrain here is too open to be defensive. Henry said as he pinned Amy to Ares' back.

The ranger pointed to a bush in the north. "I know that there is a strangely shaped cave through there, and the terrain is complicated, and there are many forks in the road, which should be very suitable for your requirements. But there are a few carnivorous ant nests in the woods, and they don't welcome us intruders. ”

"We don't have a choice now, so instead of staying here and waiting to die, we should take the risk. Maybe these ants can cause some trouble for the guys in the back. With that, Henry took the lead and walked in the direction of the bushes. (To be continued......)
