The ruined fortress in critical condition is in sharp contrast to the Riot Chamber of Commerce, which cannot find evil beasts to hunt. This is the best proof of the huge difference between cold weapons and hot weapons in the battle to defend the city.
Liu Xiao, who finally felt that something was wrong, sent two clever employees, lent them the horses pulling the cart, and asked them to ride to the outskirts of the cursed land to check the situation.
The final investigation results given by the staff also made Liu Xiao open his mouth.
"Boss, all the evil beasts we fought away rushed to the north exit. They have broken through the pass and rushed all the way to the southern border of Orange. We saw from a distance that the abandoned fort has been completely surrounded, and we probably won't be able to hold on.
How long will it take before it falls?"
"What? The ruined fort is going to fall?"
Liu Xiao's expression was dull for a moment, and he finally figured out why there were fewer and fewer evil beasts around them, and they all went to other places after a long time!
It seems that although those evil beasts are crazy, they will also instinctively seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and pick up weak persimmons.
"That's not right..."
Liu Xiao held one hand in front of his chest, and with the other hand he was groping for the stubble that had grown on his chin, and said to himself: "I always feel that something is not right... The Red Moon Beast Tide has started for a week, but
Although there are a few evil beasts we encountered that were particularly terrifying, they were all within control... If it were just this level, the Kingdom of Orange should not pay so much attention... I always
I feel that there must still be danger from the Red Moon Beast Tide that has not yet fully surfaced!"
Liu Xiao's guess was correct, and after thinking for a while, he finally figured out what he was worried about!
He remembered a place and a name - "The Abyss of Despair"!
Yes, Patriarch Moses said before that the "Abyss of Despair" is the entrance to hell connected to the exiled demons.
That is both the entrance and the exit. In the previous Red Moon Beast Tide, sporadic demons would always crawl out of the cracks, but why was there no movement this time?
Liu Xiao glanced at Rosa, who was always by his side, and asked, "Rosa, do you know how to get out of the Abyss of Despair? I want to see it in person."
"Master, why do you want to go there? The Abyss of Despair is very dangerous! Just looking at it will cause you to be polluted! If you look at it for a long time, you will go crazy~! Or you will give birth to inner demons and be occupied by demons...! The soul and body become different
Two existences!”
Liu Xiao curled his lips skeptically.
"Are they that powerful? Will they be polluted just by looking at them? Do they think they are the past of Starry Sky? If they were really that powerful, they wouldn't have been sealed in the abyss for so many years. Come on, take me to see you! Don't even look at me.
I always feel uneasy."
Rosa's expression became serious. In fact, she also noticed that this wave of red moon beasts was a bit abnormal.
She thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay master, then I will go find the patriarch now. We jungle orcs have lived here for generations, actually to protect the abyss of despair! And only the leader of the Wrench tribe knows the way to enter the core of the abyss.
method!"
"Okay, call all employees outside to return to the camp immediately. We have to change the plan!"
Half an hour later, in the camp square of the Riot Chamber of Commerce, ten fully armed jungle orc warriors lined up, waiting for Liu Xiao's order to set off towards the Abyss of Despair.
This time, the leader of the team is the Orc leader Moses. He also serves as the high priest of the jungle Orcs and masters some ancient rituals. One of the rituals is the key to the entrance to the Abyss of Despair!
"Boss, have you really decided?" Patriarch Moses asked again one last time.
Liu Xiao tightened the rifle on his back and nodded: "Yes, I must go! I won't be able to rest assured until I confirm it with my own eyes! If you don't take the threats in the dark into consideration, you are very likely to face danger after I leave.
Irreversible danger! I will never let the Lord’s believers and loved ones fall into crisis!”
Liu Xiao added in his mind, "I can't let all these devout laborers die! I will continue to exploit you and make you work for me."
Patriarch Moses' cloudy eyes were full of emotion, his voice was trembling, but his expression gradually became firmer.
"Okay! Your will is our expectation... Jungle Orc Warriors! Check the equipment~~ Set off immediately~!"
This time Liu Xiao wanted to personally confirm the situation in the Abyss of Despair. In addition to the great elder, Rosa and ten orc warriors, Arthur was also accompanying him to protect him.
The group of people carried rifles loaded with bullets and wore body armor. The orc soldiers also carried explosion-proof shields. They were like a group of special forces traveling through the jungle, heading towards the hinterland of the Forest of Despair.
Although there were sporadic evil beasts attacking the team along the way, even though Liu Xiao had told them in advance to save ammunition, in front of Arthur and the powerful orc warriors, those evil beasts were killed before they even got close.
Killed to pieces.
The group of people walked for about twenty minutes, and the dense vegetation around them suddenly became sparse.
The muddy ground became wider and wider. Rosa ran a few steps and looked into the distance. She turned around and said with a smile: "Master~~~ We are almost reaching our hometown~! We orcs have been living here before.
~!"
Liu Xiao stroked her hair lovingly and signaled the team to continue moving forward.
However, when everyone finally arrived at the former village of the jungle orcs, they were all shocked by the sight before them.
I saw that almost 95% of the thatched huts of the orcs had been razed to the ground! The only 5% that remained had strange noises of "gurgling, gurgling" coming from inside.
When several orc warriors entered to check, they discovered that there was a female evil beast inside, using it as a temporary nest and giving birth.
In a rage, the orc warriors chopped the sorcerer into pieces, as if this was the only way to calm the anger in their hearts.
This has been the hometown of generations! The jungle orcs have a special affection for this place. But now, it has been completely moved to the ground by the evil beasts! They don't even give them a chance to recover!
Liu Xiao looked at the messy village and whispered: "Don't be sad, don't be sad. I hope the Creator once said that the end of an old era also heralds the beginning of a new era~! Obviously, the new era of the jungle orcs has already
Turn on! It’s time to say goodbye to the past... and let’s move on!”
Patriarch Moses cheered up his spirits, called on the half-orc warriors to gather, and continued to advance into the forest.
When a group of people walked through the village and headed up the mountain along a path, the surroundings had become quiet.
When they approached here, they never encountered any evil beasts again, as if they had walked out of the forest. In fact, not only the evil beasts, but even the chirping of insects and birds had disappeared!
The old patriarch Moses walked at the front, because only he was qualified to enter here, and no other orcs had ever entered.
As everyone walked higher and higher on a winding path, the surrounding trees became sparser and sparse, until eventually they could only see weeds and rocks, and not a single tree at all.
Everyone followed Patriarch Moses and continued to go up. They found that the higher they went, the more desolate they became. At first there were no trees, but then gradually even the weeds and vegetation disappeared from sight! At first glance, there was only soil and rocks.
I don’t know how long they walked, but Liu Xiao stopped and took a drink of water.
He looked behind him, and saw that the lush forest was quite far away from them, and the position near the top of the mountain was already desolate. It was like walking into the no-man's land of Hoh Xil, where there was nothing he wanted, and it was completely silent.
And I don’t know why, but the further we go to the top of the mountain, the more strange the smell becomes, and it’s quite strong!
It doesn't smell like gas or natural gas. It smells like sulfur and gasoline.
Liu Xiao couldn't figure out what it was, but he felt it must be something he was familiar with.
