The Komori people took Reina out of the forest and came to a strange terrain. The rocks here were like pieces of mushrooms, layer after layer. Looking up, there were countless cracks. It was a maze.
Rena was a little hesitant. She was worst at finding the way, let alone navigating a maze.
"This way!"
At this time, Komori, who called himself Guoguo, told Reina to recruit him.
"Wait! Are you sure what I'm looking for is right in front?"
Rena asked suspiciously, which made Song Lin, who was also walking on the ground, very unhappy. The other party was obviously doubting them.
"Hmph~ Forget it if you don't believe me. I'll tell you the truth. Without us to lead the way, you would never be able to find that well in your lifetime."
The wingless one crossed his arms and said in a haughty tone.
However, the little white forest fruit immediately flew over, knocked him, and then said to Reina apologetically: "Sorry, he went too far, but it is true. This was once a pilgrimage road for elves. For
I don’t want outsiders to interfere, so I put some magic here to block outsiders. It will be difficult to get in without someone to lead the way."
Reina thought for a moment. Although she didn't think any magic could stop her, this place was indeed bigger than she thought. It was difficult to find a well in a forest. After all, the forest was so big, she always wanted to find a well.
It's impossible to visit every place.
So she sighed.
"Okay, lead the way, but I have agreed that if you dare to lie to me, you will never ask me to help you again in this life."
Komori Guoguo smiled bitterly, then turned around and continued flying forward.
I don’t know how long no one has been here. A layer of moss has grown on the ground here. Occasionally, a huge rope will appear on the rock wall. There are some strange bells on the rope, very neatly, one string after another.
Reina couldn't help but stretched out her hand to wave the bells. Incredibly, even after such a long time, the bells could still make a crisp sound.
She became addicted to playing, and stretched out her hands to run and pluck the bells, making a jingling sound. After a while, the jingling bells behind her continued.
"He is indeed a child, childish."
Komori Matsubayashi glanced at Reina and said deliberately.
"Aren't you the same?"
"Who told you, I'm over four hundred years old!"
"Why!!"
Reina showed a shocked expression.
"What? Are you scared? Hehe, according to your human perspective, I am your elder!"
"Then what have you done in the past four hundred years?"
Hearing this, the Komori people were stunned for a moment, then blushed and said: "Of course... they are doing very important work. This is a major event related to the world! We Komori people have been responsible for protecting the spring of life and the sacred tree for generations.
, we are the spokesperson of nature.”
"It's amazing!"
Although Rena didn't understand what he did specifically, she felt that he was very powerful.
However, at this time, Xiaomori Guoguo turned around and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that great. We just help the sacred tree catch bugs and clean up the bad grass. Correspondingly, the sacred tree gives us a place to sleep and food.
Endless food. Most of the time, we Komori people are playing.”
Hearing this, Reina showed an envious expression.
"Don't talk about this kind of thing!!"
Matsubayashi cursed loudly, then he quickened his pace and distanced himself from Reina, probably because he didn't want others to see his expression at this time.
Reina and Guoguo looked at each other and laughed in unison.
"By the way, what help do you want from me?"
After laughing, Reina couldn't help but ask.
Guoguo was silent for a few seconds.
"You'll find out when you go to the Well of Life."
Hearing this, Reina couldn't help but become more curious.
Two hours later, after climbing over the rugged mountain road, Reina arrived at the base of the sacred tree, a place similar to an altar.
There were many Komori people here, and as soon as they saw Reina, they all hid out of sight.
The altar is square in shape, with a six- to seven-meter-sized statue at each corner. The altar has seven steps, each of which is engraved with incomprehensible elven characters. The platform on the steps is very empty, with only a circle.
There is a large vat standing there, which is made of a kind of white stone. Maybe it is because the people in Xiaomori clean it every day, so this ghost place is particularly clean.
"This is?"
Reina didn't see the well of life they were talking about, so she became confused. She thought it might be a trap.
"This is the well of life."
Guoguo said.
"Ah? That's it?"
Rena was greatly disappointed. She thought the Well of Life would be very huge, very scary or spectacular.
I didn't expect it to be such a jar.
"You will be even more disappointed later."
He crossed his fingers and placed his fingers behind his head and said casually.
Hearing this, Reina immediately trotted to the jar. Sure enough, just as she had expected, it was empty without a drop of water.
…
An orc army of less than 4,000 people, led by an orc with a ferocious face and a scar, his name is Zeba, a general under the orc king.
It rode a giant wolf and led the soldiers to a valley. There were steep mountains on both sides, and behind it was a barren land. There were no green plants, only wilted willows, and the exposed rocks stained the place.
Bloody red.
Zeba suddenly raised his right hand, and the orc soldiers behind him stopped. Their faces were not good, and they all showed bitter expressions.
The giant wolf raised its head, sniffed with its nose, and suddenly let out an unsettling low growl.
Then Zeba got off the giant wolf, took a few steps forward, raised his head, looked halfway up the valley, and shouted: "I am Zeba! We are not here to fight, I want to talk to Bucoluo!"
"
Its voice spread to the canyon, and the echoes of "Let's talk" kept coming from the dark canyon.
As the echo disappeared, the canyon suddenly became quiet. In front of this huge canyon, Zeba's army was as small as ants.
Nervous and uneasy, these are the emotions of the soldiers behind it at this moment. They are not afraid of fighting monsters, but they are afraid of coming here because there are a group of very cruel orcs living here.
"Traitor Zeba?! How dare you come back?"
A voice suddenly came, and on the mountainside of the canyon, many ferocious orcs suddenly appeared. They were stronger, and they did not wear armor, but carried many bones.
The person who spoke was an orc with three white bones tied to his back. Its fangs were very long, and it was also a very rare type among orcs.
"Should I tear you into ten thousand pieces? Or should I keep you and cut you into pieces day by day until you are a piece of meat? You choose!"
The orcs with long fangs shouted, and suddenly the orcs in the canyon let out angry shouts.
Zeba, who had a fierce look on his face, had a bead of sweat hanging on his forehead. His eyes glanced behind him at the carriage that was incompatible with the army.
"Uh-huh, well, I have something important to say. This matter is related to the survival of the orcs and your destiny. If you want to spend your whole life huddled in this hellish place, then come down and kill me.
I'm at your disposal!"
Zeba shouted.
Suddenly, it sat up with a bang and threw the hunting knife aside.
In fact, it was so scared that its legs were weak and it simply sat down to talk.
However, in the eyes of its soldiers and the orcs in the canyon, this move was quite courageous and courageous.
"Okay! I'll kill you now!"
Suddenly, an orc jumped down from the canyon and landed on the ground with a bang, causing the ground to shake.
Weird...monster.
Zeba saw this scene. The opponent jumped from a height of not more than fifty meters, but he was still standing steadily. It was really scary. You must know that Zeba's legs felt like he had jumped from a height of two or three meters.
It hurts. The physique of orcs really cannot be generalized.
There was another bead of sweat on its forehead.
"If they dare to move, leave me alone and just shoot arrows!"
The long-tusked orc shouted, and then walked towards Zeba with a stone hammer. It was menacing, as if it wanted him to die. Suddenly, Zeba's heartbeat accelerated, and Zeba swallowed hard.
"Don't move!"
At this moment, it shouted. The giant wolf beside it and some soldiers behind it wanted to step forward, but were stopped by shouts.
It knew that the opponent was too strong for ordinary orcs like them to stop, and rushing forward rashly would only make it die faster.
"So brave, but this can't save you! I want to avenge my companions in Big Ax City! You will definitely die today!"
The long-tusked orc roared, raised his hammer, and slammed it at Zeba.
At this moment, there was a "ding" sound, and just when the hammer was about to touch Zeba's head, a strange black spot suddenly appeared on Zeba's Tianling Cap, which directly bounced the big stone hammer away.
"What!!"
The long-tusked orcs and Zeba were shocked, but Zeba immediately concealed the surprise on his face and pretended to be calm. He was very good at doing this, and no one noticed anything unusual and thought it was him.
"Wait, you've got it completely wrong."
At this moment, Zeba said in a low voice.
The long-tusked orc was shaken by the backlash and his hands were weak. He took a few steps back and was filled with fear. He thought to himself: Could this be the rumored strength of the city-slayer Zeba? It is really unfathomable!
"What's wrong? What do you want to say!"
It said angrily.
Zeba swallowed lightly and said to himself that it was fortunate that he had the support of the big boss. Now he was no longer so afraid, so he stopped his job, looked at the other party, and said: "You are all wrong, I did not massacre the city.
So far, I have not killed any fellow orcs."
It said so.
"You fart! As a lackey of the dog thief Wildecai, you still dare to speak harshly! All the orcs know what you have done. There are hundreds of thousands of compatriots in Great Ax City. I ask you how to face the ancestors and martyrs!?
"
The long-tusked orc asked forcefully.
I really didn’t do anything!
Zeba felt depressed, the whole world had misunderstood it, and the only person who understood it was the boss.
It stood up and said:
"Well, it's time for the truth to be made public. This matter has always been a shame to me, and today I will no longer hide it from you."
Then he glanced sideways at the soldiers behind him.
"You have been fighting with me for many years. I have already regarded you as relatives. I should also let you know what kind of person the person you are following is." After saying that, it lowered its head and said: "I am a weak person.
An incompetent orc, what kind of city slayer, I don’t have that ability. The truth is that the city slayer is someone else. An extremely terrifying person who is secretly controlling the fate of our orcs. The reason why Wildecai was able to defeat the old beast emperor is
It's him who is doing something secretly."
Hearing this, the other party showed a surprised expression, but soon frowned again.
"Who is he? And what evidence do you have?!"
Zeba smiled bitterly and said: "It is precisely because there is no evidence that I stand in front of you like this. I only saw the shadow of the other party, not even his appearance, and was defeated by the other party."
He looked at his palms and recalled the scene at that time. Orc corpses were all over the ground, and blood gathered into streams and flowed on the street.
Thinking back to this scene, his hands couldn't help but tremble.
The other party was shocked when he saw Zeba showing such a complicated expression. In his eyes, Zeba's strength was unfathomable. What was certain was that the other party was stronger than him and could easily block his full blow. He didn't
The reason is weaker than yourself.
But such a powerful orc could actually feel so scared.
He heard a terrible heartbeat, and for some reason, he seemed to feel the other person's fear.
Could it be that everything he said was true?
One man massacred the city overnight.
Is this possible?
It is indeed somewhat impossible. There are more than 100,000 people in a city. Even if he keeps killing, it is impossible for him to kill them all so quickly.
Moreover, the defeat of the old Beast Emperor was also very strange. He clearly had the force to crush Wiltikai, but the situation of the battle was turned around due to several bizarre battles. Moreover, the strength of the old Beast Emperor had not declined much at that time, and the young
Verdecai was not his opponent, but in the end Verdecai won.
The long-tusked orc's head began to feel hot, and he couldn't think about such complicated things.
"Ah!! It's so troublesome!"
Suddenly, it picked up a sledgehammer and slammed it on the ground.
Bang!!
The huge force caused the ground to crack, rocks splashed up, and a terrible crack appeared in front of the giant hammer, which spread forward seven or eight meters.
Zeba couldn't help but make a drooling sound, but fortunately it was covered up by the loud noise and the echo of the valley.
Wow! Is it so scary? Did you just plan to hit me on the head??
After a heavy hammer, the long-tusked orc calmed down, took a breath, and then looked at Zeba and said: "I can take you to see Bucolu! But you are the only one."
Hearing this, Zeba shook slightly.
Me alone?
It was so frightened that it tightened its legs, and now it lit up. Isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth and seeking death?
Zeba felt bad, but at this moment, he felt as if someone had tapped him on the shoulder. With the corner of his eye, he saw a caterpillar appear on his shoulder.
For some reason, it breathed a sigh of relief.
The boss really has great powers!
"good!"
It responded, and the long-tusked orcs couldn't help but admire it even more when they saw how decisive it was.
Zeba turned around, looked at the bewildered subordinates, and said: "You have also seen that what I have done has betrayed Wiltika. If you follow me, you will only be regarded as a traitor by Wiltika."
, I know you still have families, so from now on, you can go wherever you want, and when you go back, you can say that I forced you, and you will be fine if you can't disobey the order."
After saying that, Zeba turned around, glanced at the long-tusked orc, and said, "Let's go."
The long-tusked orc was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, Zeba, what an outstanding orc!
