Chapter 931: The Burrowing Cat People
Prosili, Dadaris steppe.
The team flew at a rapid pace all the way to their destination.
Incidentally, brothers Jemax and Gemadoro followed the flying mount the whole time, running on their legs on the ground.
Being able to follow a flying mount closely, and only resting a few times along the way, is breathtaking, both in terms of speed and endurance.
It stands to reason that the Dadaris grassland should be verdant.
However, what is presented in front of everyone's eyes at this moment is an endless scorched black.
It's like experiencing a fire that destroys the world, burning all the plants in the eye as far as the eye can see.
Ash and charcoal everywhere are traces of the once lush trees and flowers, but now they give people an extremely desolate atmosphere.
Seeing this scene, everyone was a little shocked.
What happened to turn this entire grassland into ruins?
"Jemax!" After landing, Jia Zhengjin looked at this desolate scene and couldn't help but call the argali warriors who had just taken refuge in him.
"What do you command, Lord Keane?" asked Jemax, who was called, at once and respectfully asked.
Jia Zhengjin glanced around: "Is this really the Dadaris Grassland?
"Hey!" Gemmax sighed softly as he asked, "Once upon a time, Dadaris was full of green, a very beautiful place. The cat people who lived in this grassland were also quite wealthy. It was only then that a terrifying monster from the dark rift suddenly appeared in this grassland, leading countless dark creatures to destroy this paradise! It was also because of the appearance of these monsters that the people of Dadaris lost the grassland on which they depended for their livelihood, and also lost countless heroic warriors. This is also the main reason for the decline of the royal family of Dadares, everything they have has has been burned down, and all that remains is countless hungry people. Although the monster has returned to the dark rift, the wounds left behind will never go away......!
"In that case, how did the cat people survive?" Jia Zhengjin asked curiously.
"When the monsters were wreaking havoc, they were forced to dig holes in the grasslands and live in dark places. It is said that Princess Dada personally led the army to hunt underground creatures such as gophers and phosphorus snakes every day to serve as food to maintain the livelihood of the people of Dadares. Jemax replied.
"Since it's so hard, why don't you just move to other places? The Orc Empire is vast, there is always a suitable place for them to rebuild their homeland, right?" Jia Zhengjin couldn't understand, since this side was no longer suitable for survival, why not settle in a place with more resources?
Jemax shook his head, he didn't know why. After all, he only communicated with the royal family of Dadaris occasionally, and there was not much communication. Therefore, he couldn't figure out why the other party had to stay in a place where there were no longer too many survival resources.
"Then how should we find the Cat Humans?" Jia Zhengjin asked, "This one is full of ruins, and I don't know the direction at all." ”
"Don't worry!" replied Jemax hastily, "although our brother has never been to the Dadares Grasslands himself, he often studied maps when he was in the army. According to the exact location on the map, the former city of Prosili should be about fifteen kilometers to the south. In the vicinity of the destination, there are many majestic peaks. ”
"In other words, we only need to go about fifteen kilometers further south to find the cat people?"
"Yes, theoretically yes!"
"Then let's go, full speed, at least before the sun sets!"
With Jia Zhengjin's order, the team set off again, marching in the direction that Jemax said.
After some rushing, Jia Zhengjin, who was standing on the head of the giant dragon, finally saw a large number of orcs appear in the endless ruins.
The number of these orcs is about three or four hundred, and their clothes are quite plain, and they are scattered on the grassland at the moment digging holes everywhere.
Looking at the appearance, it should be all cat people, yes, they have obviously arrived at their destination.
"Dragon, dragon!" was about to approach, and the cat people, who were still far away, heard the movement in the air, and when they raised their heads, they saw the most eye-catching fake dragon, and instantly shouted in terror. They immediately stopped what they were doing, and the team scurried hambled towards a nearby hole, quickly all hiding inside and closing the wooden door.
This escape speed is quite fast, and it is estimated that it is the ability of the training place when encountering monsters before. However, if they hid like this, Jia Zhengjin would not be able to inquire about the news of the Beiruga Temple.
The team immediately landed near the cave, and when they looked closely, they realized that in addition to the cave where they were hiding, there were many camouflaged caves around, which should also be entrances. If you don't look closely, it's really hard to spot these cave doors.
"Jemax, aren't you okay with the royal family of Dadareth? Jia Zhengjin ordered.
"Yes!" Jemax immediately took his younger brother Gemadoro and ran to the wooden door of the cave.
Just as he reached out and knocked on the door, he was about to speak, when several small holes suddenly appeared in the wooden door, and several sharp arrows were quickly shot out of it.
This scared the argali, but fortunately they were quick enough to avoid the attack in time.
"What's going on?" Jia Zhengjin and the other teammates stood in the distance, and couldn't help frowning when they saw this scene.
"I don't know!" Jemax was actually surprised, "I'll go and ask!"
"Be careful!" looks like the cat people aren't very friendly!" Jia Zhengjin reminded.
Jemax nodded, told his younger brother to get out of the way, moved a few steps towards the wooden door himself, stopped at a distance of three or four meters, and then shouted: "Friend of Dadaris, please don't attack! I am an argali warrior, a descendant of the Jema family." May I ask if Princess Dada is here? Can you please talk to me? Our Jema family has always had a good relationship with your royal family, and my brother and I have donated for you!"
Hearing his shouting, there was no more archery inside. There was a faint whisper of speech, probably discussing.
After a while, a lark-like voice appeared inside, "What evidence do you have to prove that you are a member of the Jemma family?"
"Evidence?" Jemax glanced at his younger brother and decisively took out a stack of letters from the backpack hanging from his waist, "We have a large number of letters from the royal family of Dadaris linking to our Gemma family, and the badge of the Jema family to prove their identity!"
"Please put it in from this place, and we'll check it!" a rectangular hole appeared in the wooden door, from which a small plank could be lifted.
Gemax hesitated, then cautiously walked over and slipped the stack of letters and badges through the hole.
