The black forest shrouded in darkness is more dangerous than during the day. Not only does the temperature drop to the point where water turns to ice, but powerful monsters also like to come out in the darkness to hunt their prey.
In this vast area, under every rotting leaf are layers of remains of the dead.
Those terrifying beings have all kinds of weird habits. They may like to chew live flesh and blood, they may like to torture poor souls, and they may destroy a village just out of boredom.
In a cave in the forest, Orc Todd was struggling to block the entrance of the cave with a large stone, leaving only a small gap for ventilation. He completed this work very carefully, because any negligence would bring a fatal threat.
.
The two left Razor Village for several days. Zhou Qingfeng had no explanation for the disappearing skeletons and dragon dung, and Todd didn't bother to ask. The orc only said that he would take Zhou Qingfeng on an adventure, but the orc was obviously enthusiastic for three minutes. He
One day he was excited and clamoring to become a great hero, but the next day he was starving and turned into a bear because he didn't bring enough food.
Since he can't count, Todd couldn't remember how much dried meat was stored in the dragon's nest. Not only did Zhou Qingfeng take the dragon dung to fertilize the fields, but he also moved half of the stored dried meat. Once the two of them were on the road, the supplies they carried personally
Not enough to eat on the road.
In comparison, Zhou Qingfeng is even more of a novice at surviving in the wild.
"I don't understand how someone like you who knows nothing could come to the Black Forest alone." Todd blocked the entrance to the cave and looked back at a bonfire inside the cave. "This place is not suitable for novice activities at all."
Zhou Qingfeng held Yulan in his arms for two or three hours in the real night, and did not stop until the night was cold. He left the skeleton 'farmer' on the real side of the time and space gate to freeze, and when he returned to the other world, he was busy filling the bonfire with firewood.
, let the flames burn brighter.
Todd cursed loudly again: "Don't burn too much. Do you want us both to suffocate to death? Or do you want to use up all the firewood in the middle of the night and freeze alive? I still want to ask you, how did you do it?"
Are you still alive today?”
The temperature in the Black Forest was high during the day, but freezing at night. Being despised by a smelly orc, Zhou Qingfeng could only endure it.
This big guy with thick arms, thick legs, and an iron tower-like figure looks rough, but in fact he has rich experience in survival in the wild. The wild is Todd's home. From the moment he was born, this orc has been learning how to adapt to this cruel and ruthless world.
.
With Todd by his side, Zhou Qingfeng learned to identify which places in the Black Forest were dangerous, which places were safe, which foods could be eaten, and which roads he could take. This knowledge was worth a thousand dollars to him now.
"This snake-necked chicken is also unlucky to be killed by a rookie like you. It probably just fought with other enemies that invaded the territory, otherwise it could continuously fire magic missiles to kill you."
Todd laughed sarcastically, teasing Zhou Qingfeng's ignorance. He returned to the campfire and looked at the chicken roasting on the fire with greed, "Snake-necked chickens are actually quite scary. I usually don't want to mess with them. But this time
The meat from breeder chickens is very delicious, very delicious.”
A huge pheasant was roasting on the fire rack. It was hunted by Zhou Qingfeng during the day. The feathers of this strange chicken were plucked, the intestines were disemboweled, the internal organs were removed, and a stick was passed through the rack to roast. The chicken was roasted until golden.
The grease dripped, making a sizzling sound, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Todd looked at it with greedy eyes. He was not afraid of being burned, so he stretched out his hand to tear off a thick chicken leg and chewed it with a black mushroom.
Zhou Qingfeng twisted another chicken leg. Before he could unscrew the chicken leg, the orc ate the chicken leg into chicken bones in three mouthfuls.
The chicken weighed about twenty kilograms, and a chicken leg weighed three to four kilograms. Zhou Qingfeng finally pulled off his portion of the hot chicken leg, and Todd had already grabbed the rest of the whole chicken in his hand rudely.
, eating and stuffing indiscriminately.
After running around in the forest with Todd and working hard all day, Zhou Qingfeng was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, but he couldn't eat as much as Todd did. He blew and ate, and before he finished,
Todd ate the whole chicken down to the skeleton.
The so-called 'snake neck chicken' has very tender meat and is very delicious without any seasoning. Also, the inconspicuous black mushroom tastes really crispy, which not only adds moisture but also has a sweet taste.
Zhou Qingfeng thought that he would not be able to finish the big chicken drumstick in his hand. But he ate and ate all the food. When he felt full in his stomach, he let out a long sigh of relief and felt warm all over.
There is a sense of blissful relaxation.
"Todd, you've been driving me around these past few days. Where are you going?"
The orc also had enough to eat and drink, and slumped beside the campfire, burping, and said, "I didn't say where I was going? I've just been wandering around."
What......?
Zhou Qingfeng immediately sat up and said angrily: "You dragged me down from Razor Cliff and just let me wander around with you?"
Todd's eyes widened, as if he had just remembered his original purpose. He slapped his head suddenly, "Ah..., I said I would take you on an adventure." Seeing Zhou Qingfeng getting angry, he hurriedly shouted: "
Tomorrow we go to the nearby settlements and look for anything to do?
Don't worry, there are disputes all the time in the Black Forest. I guarantee that as long as you stay here for a month, your enemies will be everywhere, so you won't have to worry about fighting."
Zhou Qingfeng's eyes narrowed, "What are you talking about? Taking risks means finding people to fight and make enemies?"
"Isn't it?" Todd spread his hands and said innocently: "Our orc adventures have always been like this. As long as you fight enough and hard enough, you will become famous. When everyone is afraid of you, you will be a hero."
Fuck you orcs!
I am a human being!
How could I be as hopeless as you, wandering around and fighting in the forest every day?
Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng was on the verge of anger, Todd quickly shouted: "Okay, I know you humans are different. But the last time you challenged the dragon, you were also fighting non-stop, but you can resist the dragon's power.
, this makes me particularly admire.”
The orc babbled and promised to find something to do tomorrow. The two of them slept in their clothes next to the campfire, and the night passed.
The next day.
The bonfire in the cave has been burned out. Orc Todd pushed away the stones blocking the cave and carefully explored the movement outside. The sky was gloomy today, with occasional thunder, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
"I don't smell the stench of the goblins. It should be safe outside." Todd got out of the cave and ran around in the woods with his big ax. He then spent half a day walking through the woods and hillsides.
, find a human settlement.
White Crow Camp.
Compared with the previous haphazardly built Razor Village, the construction of White Crow Camp is much better. It is located on a low hillside, with a wooden wall of more than five meters, and the wall is filled with two meters of sand. Simple and practical
The design brings powerful defense capabilities.
Strong arrow towers were built on the wall, and each tower had a dedicated person operating a powerful ballistae. Under the wall was a deep trench with sharp wooden stakes inserted. Anyone who wanted to cross would have to pay a price.
.
When Todd and Zhou Qingfeng appeared outside the camp, the people in the camp were immediately alert. Someone was heard shouting loudly from a few dozen meters away, and the ballistae on the two arrow towers took aim.
"Don't be too nervous, let alone hide. The people in White Crow Camp are pretty easy to talk to." Todd pretended to be relaxed and waved his hand to the wall to show that he was not hostile. "You are a stranger, and the people in the camp will definitely question you.
So you'd better stay out of trouble."
As we got closer, we could see that the camp was not big, and there were probably only two to three hundred people in it.
The wooden building is simple and rough. Many of the timbers are not even stripped of bark, but are bundled layer by layer with arm-thick rattan to form the walls of the building. This structure is strong, durable and almost indestructible.
The camp wall had no door, only a hanging basket for entry and exit. A guard recognized the orc on the wall and shouted: "Todd, I heard that you were captured by a group of goblins."
Todd was so angry that he almost swung the ax away.
