Then a round object emerged from the mud, and the muddy water immediately fell down.
Soon, a paw reached out from the mud and touched the round thing. Then a pair of eyes opened suddenly and glanced around, looking extremely cautious.
puff!
Puff!
Puff puff!
Waves of bubbling sounds sounded one after another.
At the same time, heads emerged from the mud one by one.
Not long after, except for the rhythmic sound of bubbles, almost no other sounds could be heard at the scene, and nothing was coming out anymore.
After this situation lasted for more than a minute, the head that popped up first moved slightly, and on the left and right sides of this head, there was also a head tilting its head slightly, as if in response, and as if
Observing.
"It should be safe." Lin Jie's voice came from the first head, "This mud swamp is rich in minerals such as sulfur and new explosives, and mutant beasts don't like it."
"Where are the beasts?" The head next to Lin Jie lifted up a little, as if a ball was rising, and Wang Ying's voice also sounded, "Those guys can fly high, see far, and have strong night vision.
.”
"It's okay." Lin Jie continued, "This mud swamp is shrouded in mist emitted by minerals, and the view is blocked.
Moreover, the smell here is also very annoying to the animals.
Therefore, they will not observe this place closely.
Besides, it's daytime now, not night.
hehe.
If you think it's late at night, that can only mean one thing - the masking effect here is still very ideal."
"Are we really safe?" Hua Hong's voice came quietly from the third head, "Then...can we come out first?"
"This won't work." Lin Jie said softly, "Let's hold on a little longer. None of us know whether there is any danger around us, so we'd better be careful."
"Actually, it's good to stay here." Wang Ying whispered, "When the orc army relaxes its vigilance, we can take a detour back to Winter City."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Lin Jie frowned slightly and looked around, "We have now penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Orcs.
There are no orcs in this swamp, which doesn't mean there aren't any outside.
It's not easy to go back.
If my judgment is correct, going south from here should be the station of the Orc army that pursued us not long ago, and to the east, the sky is densely populated with beasts, and it must be the core area of the Orc army.
As for heading north?
Regardless of whether there are a large number of mutated beasts? At least it will keep us farther and farther away from winter.
The result of this is that we may never return to winter again.
West?
northwest?
Don’t say any more about this.
It leads to the deepest part of the North.
For us, that is not escape? It is to embrace death.
so……
Our most suitable route forward now may be the only one left in the southwest."
"But..." Wang Ying frowned and said, "That's where we came from, are we going to go back?"
"It can't be regarded as turning back." Lin Jie continued, "After we left the battlefield, we went in circles. Although the general direction was very different, in fact, it was impossible for us to set foot on the original path again."
"Actually? It's also good to go southwest." Huahong said thoughtfully, "Maybe we can meet Fatty Wang's team? Or maybe we can meet him."
"He?" Wang Ying was startled, "Fat Wang?"
"Is it Lao Ye?" Lin Jie sighed, "But? I think we shouldn't worry about Lao Ye.
After all, his mobility is very strong.
If even he can't get rid of the pursuing enemy, then if we go there, we will only add to the chaos.
It might even tie him up and get him into trouble.
As for Fatty Wang’s team..."
"When we broke through, they were targeted by a large beast army?" Wang Ying said, "I didn't expect that Fatty Wang was very brave.
If they can really escape, it will be a great blessing for our human race."
"The beast army that chased us in the later period adopted the strategy of surrounding but not killing," Huahong said softly, "So, maybe Fatty Wang and the others are really still alive."
"Yes, I discovered it too." Lin Jie nodded, "Otherwise, more than half of us Zhongdu warriors would have been killed or injured long ago, right?"
"Why are they doing this?" Wang Ying frowned.
"Because they know that we will definitely not be able to escape." Lin Jie continued, "So instead of killing us all, it is better to catch us and do some research."
"If this is the case," Wang Ying looked into the misty distance, "then it is very likely that the orc army has already surrounded this place.
Once we take action, they will catch us immediately."
"It's possible." Lin Jie nodded, "So, it's best for us to stay here for a while and see how the situation goes?"
"Otherwise," Wang Ying looked at Lin Jie hesitantly, "organize another small team, choose a direction to break out, attract the enemy away, and then we can take action."
"I'm afraid not," Lin Jie slowly shook his head, "The orcs already know the number of our Zhongdu warriors. Sending a small team to break out will not attract their main force."
"What should we do?" Wang Ying frowned.
"Wait," Lin Jie said slowly, "just wait and see what happens."
"Maybe from the outside..." Huahong frowned slightly, "There are no mutant beasts ambushing us?"
"Do you believe it?" Lin Jie sighed, "Anyway, after this contact with the orcs, I no longer believe that they are just beasts, but orcs who have no lower IQ than the human race."
When he said this, Lin Jie raised his muddy hand, touched his forehead, and then smiled bitterly and said: "It would be great if Lao Ye was here.
With his understanding of mutant beasts, he will definitely make a correct judgment.
It's just a pity.
When we needed him most, he didn't know where he was.
The next time you have a chance to see him, you must get the protection money back and not let him take advantage of it in vain."
Swish!
Huahong and Wang Ying looked at each other and saw a helpless smile in each other's eyes.
at the same time.
Pixiu City.
market.
Human and animal sales point.
Ah sneeze!
Ye Chong, who was still talking to the pig orc, couldn't help but sneeze, immediately rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Mad, I don't know who is scolding me?"
"Hehe, is there any need to say that?" The pig-orc man glanced at the nearby cage and said in a nonchalant manner, "It must be the human race guys who are cursing us in their hearts.
If I were a husband, I would buy some meat dishes.
We must not be soft-hearted or merciful towards these guys who are hostile to our orcs."
