…
"The reward is so stingy..." Iced Tea said with a pout.
I took a look at a few NPCs. They were all in rags. Even if they wanted to be generous, I'm afraid they couldn't be generous.
Qin Yun asked: "Scholar, where should we go to level up next?"
"Wait, let me take a look first!"
Pulled out the system map interface and interpreted the terrain here. Although our location looks like a plain, it is actually just a valley. In the far south, there is a long black stone mountain range. The mountain range is like a giant
It winds like a dragon on the continent, directly forming a huge valley, which looks like a plain inside.
"Blackstone Mountains?" I pondered, thinking whether the ten thousand-year dark iron needed to create the fairy bow Fire Dragon String would be produced in the Blackstone Mountains? Forget it, let's go and have a look, it's just a matter of leveling up all the way.
No delay!
"Go to the Blackstone Mountains and check if there are any mineral veins I need." I stretched out my hand and pointed into the distance.
Qin Yun smiled happily: "Well, let's go then?"
But Bingcha frowned and said: "Scholar, is it too far there? The level of the monster must be high. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we couldn't level up in the past?"
"What are you afraid of? No one will see it. If we can't practice, we will return in despair!"
"Okay then~"
So, continuing to move forward, I released Ling'er and cleared the way ahead. Basically, Ling'er could take care of some strengthened or elite-level monsters before we arrived.
Bingcha's dragon turtle was a little embarrassed. It moved too slowly and it was impossible for it to clear the road. As a result, Bingcha had to shrink the dragon turtle and put it behind its butt. As a result, the dragon turtle was right behind the beautiful woman.
The back of his butt kept bumping, and he quickly lost his temper. He opened his mouth and blew out a small mouthful of icy air, and simply lay there and pretended to be dead.
The Outland is too deep. Players without high-level mounts cannot get here. If you walk, you may have to walk a day and a night to reach the Blackstone Mountains.
In the afternoon, Ling Xue and Ling Yue went online, and the two sisters continued to explore the outer territory east of the ruins of Red Lotus City. It seemed to be very interesting, and the two of them had a great time.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, our three-person team finally arrived at the foot of the Black Rock Mountains. We saw lush forests, but the rocks on the mountain were all black, as if they were burnt.
Suddenly, Iced Tea stopped, strangled Bai Hu's neck, turned around and said, "Scholar, there is movement ahead!"
"Well, what's the noise?"
Iced Tea took a few steps forward, her beautiful face turned pale, and she suddenly took a few steps back, and the white tiger's butt hit the flaming horse's head.
"That's...god, so cruel!"
Iced Tea trembled all over and froze while clenching her silver teeth.
I hurried forward and found a tragic scene in the forest!
Dozens of sharp stakes stand in the mountains. They are all made of straight and hard black wood. The tops of the sharp stakes are extremely sharp. On them, purple-skinned humans were impaled one by one, with their intestines pierced and rotten, and blood flowing down their faces.
The sharp stakes were left behind, and the blood-red intestines were hanging in the air and swaying in the wind. The flies were flying and started eating before these people were dead.
"Uh-huh..." There were even people who didn't die immediately and were still moaning to themselves.
Some people have been decapitated, and their heads, which are almost dried by the wind and sun, are impaled on sharp stakes. Above their heads stands a carrion vulture, which has pecked through the skull of the deceased and is eating the white flowers.
Brain plasma.
Double crosses were nailed to the side of the picket, and two ropes hung down. Two more purple-skinned humans were hanged on it. The blood flowed down the body to the feet, dyeing the purple bare feet into patches of red.
I was shocked, and Qin Yun was also dumbfounded.
After a quick count, there were 31 victims in total. I don’t know what kind of race could be so barbaric and kill people in such cruel ways.
Bingcha frowned slightly, leaned over and said, "Scholar, look at these people, they don't seem like ordinary NPC humans. Who killed them?"
"It's probably a racial vendetta! Or, punishing those who commit the most heinous crimes within the clan..."
"But..." Bingcha couldn't bear it, glanced at it, and said: "Some of them are still children, about 10 years old. What kind of heinous things can they do at that age?"
I sighed and said with a wry smile: "If you ask me about this, I don't know either."
After taking a look, he said, "There are traces of trampling on the mountain road. The executioner probably lived in a corner not far from the mountain. Shall we go over and have a look?"
"Um!"
We were about to leave when we heard a low groan: "Help?"
Huh?
Looking back, there is no one alive?
After taking a closer look, I discovered a bloody arm lying across the grass.
"Qin Yun, come with the ice tea, I'll go over and take a look!"
"Um!"
Qin Yun then went over to ride the white tiger with Bing Cha, while I urged the horse to go over. The Fierce Soul Sword parted the weeds, and I was shocked to find a pool of blood below. I saw an old human with purple skin lying in the grass, with only one arm, and another
One limb was cut off, and the lower body was also chopped off, as if cut off by a sharp battle axe, just like the ancient punishment of cutting in half, but it will not make people die immediately, he will slowly feel the blood flowing out
And die.
The old man's face was covered in blood, but after seeing me, his eyes showed a glimmer of hope, as if he saw hope.
"Warrior from another world, hello..." the old man said as he was dying.
I quickly got off my horse, walked forward, and said calmly: "I am an adventurer from Baiyun City. May I ask...what race are you from, and why are you treated like this?"
As I said that, I took out a super large blood bottle, opened the lid and poured it on the old man's injured area. Although I couldn't save his life, I could at least let him live a little longer. Of course, he would also suffer a little longer.
The pain of time.
The old man gasped and said: "It turns out we are from Baiyun City, I...we are the exiles..."
"Exiled?"
"Yes!" The old man lowered his eyes and said, "Did you know that in addition to humans, elves, and beasts, there is also a Shining clan on the Lingmai Continent?"
"The Shining Clan?" My head seemed to be in a blur.
"Yes! The Shining clan, also known as half-elves, are the product of the intermarriage between humans and elves. We possess the wisdom of humans, magic, and the swift archery of elves. However, we are a cursed race. Hundreds of years ago,
The half-elves were exiled from the Lingmian Continent, and we came to this outer land..."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Since half-elves are the descendants of humans and elves, why are they exiled?"
"Descendants?" The old man suddenly sneered and said: "Those human nobles bought the elf women at a high price, but they only used them as a tool to vent their anger. They did not want the elf women to have children, because humans look down on those who live in the jungle.
Elves, they think more of elves as just beautiful beasts!"
The old man's eyes glowed with hatred: "Humans hunted elves aggressively, and the nine elven tribes deep in the Moonlight Forest were wiped out. Female elves were sold at a low price, and they were raped and humiliated one by one. The lifespan of elves is too long.
One after another, they became pregnant with human children, but they were all exiled to the wild forest, until our half-elf clan was later derived. However, the outstanding fighting power of the half-elf warriors aroused the jealousy of the human nobles, and they decided to exile the half-elves.
Elves, thousands of half-elves were expelled from their homes and came to this desolate land!"
I gritted my teeth: "So that's it! It seems that the power of the God of Thunder is right. Human nobles are indeed the ultimate bastards!"
"So, what kind of persecution are you receiving now?"
The old man sighed and said: "We failed! When we, twenty and a half thousand elves, came to Blackstone Mountain, we thought this would be our future home. Who would have thought that the orcs on Blackstone Mountain had already surrendered to the Dark Legion?
They carried out a massacre of half-elves, and our race is about to become extinct..."
As he said that, the old man suddenly got the strength from nowhere, grabbed my hand, and said, "Young warrior, can you accept my request?"
I nodded immediately: "Please tell me!"
The old man said happily: "Okay! I...actually I am the leader of the half-elf tribe. Our rescue operation failed this time, so we were massacred by the orcs. I hope you can help me enter the orc tribe and find my daughter Jaina."
, let her succeed the half-elf clan leader..."
"The half-elf leader's daughter, Jaina, is imprisoned in the orc tribe?" I pondered.
The old man nodded: "Yes, Jaina, my dear daughter, the orc chief Blood Roar coveted her beauty and captured her into the orc tribe. I hope you will abide by the agreement and rescue Jaina as soon as possible to protect her from defilement.
, when you send Jaina back to the half-elf camp, they will reward you..."
"Ding~!"
System prompt: Your team has accepted the mission [Rescue Jaina]! (Current mission difficulty: 4500)
Mission content: abide by the agreement, go to the orc tribe, kill at least 1,000 orc warriors, enter the orc tribe's cage, release the imprisoned Jaina, and protect Jaina to leave for the half-elf camp.
…
"Then, may the blood of the brave flow forever in your body, my young human warrior!"
With a soft sound, the half-elf patriarch's arm dropped to the ground. These words had exhausted his last strength. For his daughter, he gave up everything, and even died miserably in the end. This is probably a father's love for his daughter!
I shook my head and suddenly thought of Ling Tian. Maybe, I really shouldn't blame him for anything. All my faults were just that we were too young and couldn't see through many things.
Turning around, he said with iced tea: "I don't know if the three of us can handle this 4500-difficulty task..."
"It doesn't matter. It's just about killing 1,000 monsters and rescuing Jaina. We are not required to kill the boss or anything like that. So, this task should not be difficult to complete. Moreover, it seems that this should also be a camp task.
After all, it was mentioned that the orcs surrendered to the Dark Army."
Qin Yun nodded: "Then let's set off?"
"Um!"
Ling'er also followed, so we walked forward along the mountain road. We could see the corpses of half-elves everywhere along the way, and there were even small pools of blood formed in some places, which was extremely cruel.
Ice Tea's face was cold, and he gritted his teeth and said: "These orcs are really nothing, they are so cruel, they deserve to be killed like crazy!"
"Iced tea, be careful, these orcs may be of a very high level!"
"Ok, I know!"
Not far away, suddenly there was a heartbreaking cry from the front, which seemed to be a woman's voice.
I looked stern and immediately urged my horse to rush forward!
"Snapped!"
With a swing of the sword, the branches and leaves blocking the view were split open, and two orc warriors suddenly appeared in front of them, wearing heavy iron armor. Two battle axes glowing with cold light were placed aside. Moreover, these two orcs
He was fully armed, but only his lower body was disarmed. He was covered in black hair and had that ugly thing sticking out, smiling lewdly like a beast.
One of the orc warriors slapped her down. This was a werewolf warrior. The sharp claws on his fingers immediately drew three bloody marks on the girl's neck!
The girl tilted her head helplessly, seemingly resigned to her fate, and cried softly.
The werewolf warrior was extremely proud and was about to attack Huanglong when he suddenly screamed——
"Ah!! You damn..."
At some point, a dagger with a cold light appeared in the girl's hand, and it swiped across the lower body of the werewolf warrior very quickly. The ugly wolf whip fell to the ground, and blood spurted out.
"Oh my god! This damned half-elf actually broke my body! Kill her, kill her!" The werewolf warrior grabbed the battle ax with one hand. He was not sad when his little brother was gone. He pulled up his pants and went to
Charge into battle, truly worthy of the powerful physique of an orc!
Another orc warrior also grabbed the battle ax and swung it with the wind!
"Ding!"
The firelight flew past, and the dagger in the half-elf girl's hand was knocked into the grass. The girl herself was also shaken back and hit a tree as thick as a bowl.
"Crack!"
Another blow of the ax broke the tree, and the half-elf girl's shoulders were covered in blood and she fell into the grass.
"Quack!" The werewolf warrior stepped forward with a battle ax and shouted: "I will twist your arms and legs. No matter how hard you struggle, how can the dignity of the werewolf tribe be trampled by a despicable half-elf like you?"
