Chapter 148 is full of dangers
The old shaman's words almost blew up the wolf king's lungs, and just as he was about to organize a few words of rebuttal, Thambe rushed up and kicked the one-eyed wolf out of the air. He stared at the wolf leader with red eyes, and the terrifying aura made the orcs around him break out in a cold sweat.
"I don't want to listen to! Now lead your clan to catch up! If these people run away, I'll chop you into pureed meat and stew you in a pot and eat it!" ”
Feeling the murderous aura of Sam as if it were substance, the one-eyed giant wolf spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and immediately got up from the ground and lowered his head deeply. "Be of good cheer, Great Chief. I'll go after them at once, there's no way they'll be able to escape from this hilly terrain. With that, he turned around and ran with the wolves towards the outside of the camp, not wanting to stay here for a moment, for fear of being suddenly killed by this powerful warrior.
After seeing the wolves leave, Thamm said to the priest behind him, "Now call all the people at once, and prepare for us to set out at dawn." ”
"Chief, I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of asking, are so many adventurers worth our effort? You know, we're on our last hunt before winter, and if we don't have enough food, we're going to starve a lot of people to death. The pastor cautiously raised his question.
Thamme spat at him hard. "Phew! Idiot! Don't you see where they're headed? Orient! The men were heading to Sandaba, where the Great Chief of Sim was gathering his army to take it. Guess what would happen if he knew we weren't going to respond to this call-up? So these adventurers must die! Otherwise, the entire tribe is in danger of being annexed. ”
The chief's words left everyone dumbfounded. Sim ruled over more than one-third of the orc tribes in the north, and was able to gather more than 30,000 elite warriors with ease. No one in this land would dare to disobey his orders, or else they would be destroyed. Now Zamm is hiding here with the tribe. The main thing is to avoid the messenger who delivers the command. If Sim knew this. It is believed that he will soon lead his army to pacify the entire tribe.
"Understood. I'm going to blow the trumpet and call everyone up. All the preparations will be made before dawn, and you will be ready to go as soon as you give the order. With that, the priest struck his fist his left chest, turned around and picked up the horn and began to blow.
Just as the orcs were being called, the wolf king and his tribe were outside the bushes, staring at the carnivorous ants in the distance. It really couldn't understand how these adventurers managed to get through the road to death. A few wolves tried to speed up and rush over, but before they could run halfway, they were already a pile of bones.
"These damn Sams just want us to die, why don't you leave this tribe and change places. Anyway, no orc tribe would refuse to join the wolf. "The young wolf used their unique language to propose his own ideas to the wolf king.
The one-eyed wolf sighed. "You don't understand, Thambe is the most promising fighter to defeat Sim. As long as he survives for a few years, he will definitely be able to win the duel in the Great Chieftain selection. At that time, we can use the power of the orcs to force more wolves to join us. As long as you have enough of them, you don't have to look at his face anymore. ”
"So what now? Without the help of spells, we wouldn't have been able to get through to Guò at all. ”
The wolf king looked up at the sky, and gradually there was a glimmer of light in the east. "Just wait here, Thammy should be able to lead a large army in no time. Leave these things to his shamans and priests. With that, it took the lead and exited the bushes, and found a place to lie down outside.
It didn't take long for the sun to slowly rise. Henry and his party were still asleep, not seeing the ghosts that were constantly shouting around them. These souls, who are about one meter four tall, have sad expressions. But he couldn't make a sound. Suddenly, there was a "ticking" and "ticking" sound from the depths of the cave, which sounded like the sound of dripping water from a pool.
With a look of horror on their faces, the ghosts quickly stood up and walked in the direction of the sound. Soon there was a burst of eerie laughter. "Hee-hee! Hehe! Hahahahaha! There were also screams and cries that echoed through the walls of the cave, quickly waking up several people who were sleeping.
Henry sat up and wiped the cold sweat from his head as he looked at the others. He was secretly relieved to find that everyone was okay.
The orc warrior rubbed his somewhat dry eyes and asked, "I seem to have heard something just now, did you all hear it?" ”
"Like? And only a nervous, unresponsive guy like you would use this word. The sound was chilling, and it seemed that the cave was unsafe. After saying that, Amy touched her neck and found that it was all sweat.
Bamberk jumped over and shook his head. "What's so scary about this, I can imitate that kind of voice. Isn't it just a marvelous laugh from Mourning? As he spoke, the parrot learned the sound just now.
Henry listened carefully to the sound it had learned, and soon realized that it seemed to be mixed with some dwarven language, but it was too small to hear what was being said. He stood up, shook the dirt off his body, and said, "Now make a fire to cook, and after we have eaten, let's go inside and see what is going on." I've always felt that it's not as simple as it seems, maybe there's something interesting hidden in it. ”
"Why do you call a guy who can make such a sound funny? Forget it, you're the team leader who listens to you. I'm getting more and more confused about what you mages have going through all day. Zuvosa gave Henry a blank look, then looked down to examine the crossbow in his hand.
Vaughn burst out laughing at the Ranger's words. "Don't look at Sven all day long, you didn't see it when he went crazy."
Zubosa glanced at Henry, who was washing his face and brushing his teeth, and already agreed with the orc warrior. She felt that beneath the mage's calm exterior was a mad soul. Although it is normal to be polite and polite, these can't hide his dangerous way of thinking.
Soon a clearing was cleared, and the Ranger picked up some firewood at the door and built a bonfire, while Amy set up a pot and cooked cereal. After Henry cleaned up his personal hygiene, he sat on the side and checked all kinds of magical items on his body. Due to the continuous chaos of the high-intensity combat on this trip, the Fireball Staff and the Summoning Monster Staff have been almost used.
In addition to the spells and magic that can be cast by itself, the only things that can be used now are some scrolls and potions. Just as Henry was considering how to adjust his tactics, Ares walked over with the Book of Change. He patted his head when he saw it, he was so sleepy yesterday that he left behind this good thing that could turn into a Adamantite Golem.
Henry took the golden book, took out a cloth and wiped the saliva from it. Then he opened the page and picked out a spider-shaped pattern, and after a violent transformation, a golden mechanical spider appeared in front of everyone.
The orc warrior glanced at him and asked, "This guy is so ugly, why don't you become the tall and burly one you did last time." ”
"You muscular idiot, the hole above our heads is less than two meters high, and if it's too high, you'll get stuck." Bambock took the opportunity to jump out and laugh at the orc's intelligence.
Vaughn glared at the parrot, he really didn't expect that he would ask casually, and he was actually despised by this guy for finding a loophole. Just when Bamberk was beaming, suddenly a slight vibration began on the ground, and in the blink of an eye a huge roar rang out.
"Not good! Get outside. Something seems to be coming out of there. Henry shouted as he ran desperately towards the outside of the cave.
Soon the crowd saw the water gushing out of the depths of the cave behind them, and they immediately increased their speed to the extreme, but they were still caught up by the torrent. Everyone was rushed out of the cave at once, and Amy and Zuboza hit their heads against the trees, and they fell into a coma in an instant.
Henry desperately clung to a tree and climbed it, and he commanded the Golem to grab the clothes of the two unconscious men so that they would not be swept away by the sudden flood. Vaughn and Ares also found a tree and were trying to climb up. Since Bambock flew relatively fast, it was not flooded.
The current in the cave lasted only a few minutes, and soon began to weaken, and finally disappeared completely. Seeing that the crisis had passed, Henry quickly jumped down from the tree and gave Amy and Zubosa a simple treatment. After the two coughed up a large amount of dirty water, they slowly regained consciousness.
The orc warrior walked over and shook the dirt from his hair hard. "Head, where did all this damn water come from? Could it really be that those dwarves were drowned by the sudden torrent, as the legend suggests? ”
"I don't know yet, but the only thing I know for sure is that there must have been some force pushing the water up from underneath. Take a break and let's go down together to see what the hell is going on. Henry explained, and began to make clean water to wash the dirt off his body.
After spitting out the dirty water, Amy took out the kettle and rinsed her mouth, then washed her face with the rest of the water. The current was so strong just now that if it weren't for the place where a few people stayed close enough to the entrance of the cave, I'm afraid there would not even be a chance to escape. After a brief cleaning, everyone found a place on higher ground and sat down and began to rest. The pot and some daily necessities were washed away by the big water just now, and now they can only silently eat hard jerky and bread to satisfy their hunger. (To be continued......)
