Chen Rui did not bloodbath the Zhuang Mammoth tribe, but used the methods of the Winter Domain to temporarily incapacitate the orcs to prevent them from catching up with Corradivar's caravan to retaliate and vent their anger.
Corradivar's trip was not in vain. When Chen Rui interrogated several orcs, with the help of the remaining power of the "Elf Powerful", the businessman obtained some of the medicinal materials he wanted, but in the end Corradivar still managed to get some of the medicinal materials.
He was smart, not too greedy, and kept the goods he brought.
By the time Chen Rui's interrogation was over, Corradivar had quickly completed the exchange, loading and unloading, and with just the right timing, he finally left the Zhuang Mammoth tribe with Chen Rui.
In order to express his gratitude, Corradivar gave Chen Rui a hand-drawn detailed map of the Nightmare Field before leaving. Compared with the one Michelle gave, this map can only be regarded as a rudiment, but it has practical value.
In other words, it is ten times stronger. Each area and passage is marked in detail on the map, as well as the tribes and dangers you may encounter.
With this map, combined with the magical map of the elves and some information learned from the orc captives, Chen Rui was able to rush to the Thunderstorm tribe as quickly as possible.
It is very likely that Blanche has been sent to the Swamp of Doom, but just in case, it is better to go to the Thunderstorm Tribe first, because the Thunderstorm Tribe and the Swamp of Doom are both in the same direction, and the former is the only way to the latter.
road.
The Thunderstorm Tribe is the most powerful orc tribe in the Nightmare Plains. It is said that they have the blood of the royal family of the orc empire back then and are extremely powerful in combat.
The terrain of the plains allowed Bai Feng to maximize his speed. With the help of the map, Chen Rui only took five days to reach Youhe, where the Thunderstorm tribe was located.
The Youhe River is the largest river in the Nightmare Plains. It is a standard plain river type. The river valley is wide, the river bed has a small gradient, and the naturally curved river channels form strange lakes of different sizes.
The Thunderstorm tribe is located next to these lakes with lush water and grass. The overall distribution is scattered and they occupy the most fertile land in the entire wilderness. This area is said to have been the capital of the Orc Empire. You can see some ruins and ruins along the way.
It was nightfall when Chen Rui arrived. Judging from the distribution of lights and bonfires, the camp of the Thunderstorm Tribe was much larger than that of the Zhuang Mammy Tribe, and the total number of tribe members was visually estimated to be more than 50,000.
For an orc tribe where even women have strong fighting capabilities, this is a quite huge force.
Chen Rui placed Baifeng in the bushes in the distance, and under the cover of night, bypassed the guards on the outside and sneaked into the camp.
There is a big temperature difference between night and day in the Nightmare Field. In the camp, a large group of orcs gathered around piles of campfires, setting up pots, drinking rare wine in the wilderness, and chewing the food they were given. The orcs have a tribal system
It is somewhat close to the primitive tribe in Chen Rui's impression, but it is not completely a big pot or public ownership. The braver and stronger people can get more food and women. On the contrary, those who have no contribution and are incompetent will be expelled from the tribe. There is competition.
Progress is natural, and this is also natural selection. It is no fluke that the orc tribes have been able to survive to this day after the collapse of the empire.
After a few glasses of wine, the heads of the orcs began to heat up. Some boasted in front of the female orcs, saying how bravely they had defeated so many monsters. Some began to beat drums made of animal skins. Others
Go to the open space and wrestle.
The open space in this area was very large and it was difficult to hide. With a thought, Chen Rui used his disguise and breathing skills to transform into an orc of medium stature. He swaggered over and sat down in the crowd. There was a lot of noise all around.
, and no one doubted it.
Chen Rui's nose twitched and his attention turned to the orc's wine bowl. Naturally, what he paid attention to was not the bone bowl made of the skull of a monster, but the purple wine in the bowl. The aroma of this wine was very mellow.
It seems somewhat familiar.
Chen Rui thought about it. There was a metal bowl in his hand. He came to the big wine barrel, scooped out a bowl, tasted it in his mouth, and frowned. This was actually the famous purple wine in the human world. He had been in the golden wine barrel.
Star City has tasted it, and the quality of these wines is quite high, and they are definitely not brewed by the orcs themselves.
While he was thinking, a plump female orc who was drinking on the opposite side came over and gave him a "wink": "You are not from Beiying, are you? This is the first time I see you."
"Yes." Chen Rui nodded as he was afraid of exposing his identity. He drank wine and walked to a corner to sit down, pretending to watch wrestling.
Unexpectedly, the female orc followed: "My name is Xiaocha, what is your name?"
"My...my name is Henk." Chen Rui borrowed the name of the leader of the Zhuang Mammy tribe very rudely.
Xiaocha saw that he was almost finished drinking the wine, so he went over to carry a small bucket and filled it for him: "Henk, I'm going to treat you to a drink, can you give me that bowl?"
It turned out that he took a fancy to this thing. Chen Rui looked at the metal bowl in his hand and handed it over: "Okay."
"That's great!" Xiaocha took the bowl with bright eyes and rubbed it with his sleeve. He felt that it was shining especially delicately. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and got closer to him.
Chen Rui felt a strong body odor penetrate his nostrils and almost fainted, but the girl Xiaocha who was completely unaware was still rubbing her body against his arm, looking affectionate.
Classmate Henk complained secretly that he could transform into an orc and be attracted by a female orc. Suddenly, his heart moved. He took a small bucket and poured a bowl of wine for Xiaocha, and said: "This wine is really delicious."
"Of course!" Xiaocha drank it down in one breath, "Although those humans are very weak, the wine they make is much stronger than ours!"
Seeing that Xiaocha was a little drunk, Chen Rui asked tentatively: "Where did these wines come from?"
Xiaocha burped: "Isn't it just from the captured group of human traders...?"
"By the way, I drank some wine, but I actually forgot." Chen Rui patted his head in a beast-like manner, and poured wine for Xiaocha diligently.
"Are those people still there?"
"I'm locked up in the dungeon of the central king's tent..." Xiaocha obviously started to drink wine, and he hugged Chen Rui, "Come on, let's go to the tent..."
Chen Rui gave way slightly, and Xiaocha flew into the air. He held him up and asked in a low voice: "Where is the half-elf with a bounty on his head?"
"The half-elf is in... the dungeon..." Xiaocha said something unclearly, grabbed Chen Rui's hand and touched his chest, "My tent is..."
Dungeon? Blanche is still here? Chen Rui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Asshole! Get away from my little fork!" A roaring voice rang out, and he saw a tall and strong orc rushing over. Chen Rui clearly sensed the action that the orc was about to make in his consciousness, and his heart
Even if I think about it, I won’t resist.
The tall orc grabbed Chen Rui's neck, lifted his entire body up, and threw him far away with a strong force.
"If you let me see you near her again, I will break your neck!" The tall orc looked at Chen Rui who was lying on the ground and could not get up with a contemptuous look, and said viciously.
"Ritter! Rhett!" The orcs nearby raised their hands and laughed loudly.
Listening to the conversations around him, it seemed that "Xiaocha" was one of the top beauties in Beiying. Chen Rui had to admire the orcs' unique aesthetics. Rhett beat Chen Rui's chest in a demonstrative manner, picked up Xiaocha and headed towards the tent.
Striding away, needless to say, there will be thunder and fire...
Chen Rui didn't dare to think about such a heavy-tasting scene, so he secretly wished the two of them a happy marriage, pretended to be dejected and got up, and left the area naturally as a loser amidst the ridicule of the orcs.
After several twists and turns, Chen Rui finally reached the area around the central royal tent. Here you can see obvious palace buildings. Most of them were dilapidated, and they were probably the ruins of the royal palace of the Orc Empire.
The terrain here is much more complicated than expected, and the guards are quite tight. The first ones are connected to each other, and they appear to be well-trained. They are not comparable to the undisciplined orcs I saw before. They all seem to be elite.
After groping for a while, Chen Rui finally found the location of the dungeon, which was more like the entrance to an underground cave. The entrance was guarded by a team of strong orcs armed with weapons.
These orcs did not notice that an invisible figure had entered the gate silently. Chen Rui sneaked all the way down. The tunnel was very long. After turning a few corners, they finally found the prison. The prison door was already in dilapidated shape.
Yes, there are two soldiers guarding the door. There are no torches inside the door, so it looks dark.
With a thought in his mind, Chen Rui waved his hands rapidly. The two orc soldiers' eyes went dark and they lost consciousness. Once they attacked, their stealth skills would automatically expire. Chen Rui revealed his figure and walked inside.
Although the visibility is very low, Chen Rui's eyesight can still tell that compared with the ruined palaces on the ground, the main body of the dungeon is relatively well preserved, and there are not many available cells. There are about five or six stone cells.
There were some people sitting in the big cage, but they couldn't see their specific faces, and they didn't know where Blanche was.
With a thought in Chen Rui's mind, a magic lighting item appeared in his hand, which emitted a strong light.
The sudden appearance of the bright light startled the people in the cage. They couldn't adapt to the strong light for a while, so they closed their eyes. When they slowly adapted, they saw a bright light in the prison, and the light was actually
An "orc".
The "orcs" were holding some kind of light-emitting props, and they came close to the cage and shined them one by one. They seemed to be looking for someone. Some timidly guessed whether they were going to be dragged out and executed, and they lowered their heads one after another, not even daring to take a breath.
"Blanche?" What surprised the human prisoners was that the pronunciation of this "orc" in Common Tongue seemed to be particularly smooth, without the harshness of ordinary orcs.
Chen Rui shouted several times in the voice of "Richard", but there was no response. Feeling strange, he suddenly stopped in front of a cage, and the lighting props came closer.
Because he unexpectedly found a familiar face, no, two.
"Lucio! Ina!"
As soon as these words came out, the man and woman were shocked at the same time. The man seemed to have thought of something, stood up suddenly, walked quickly to the stone pillar of the cage, and asked with some uncertainty: "Master?"
Chen Rui nodded. Unexpectedly, he did not find Blanche here, but found his former servant Lucio the Lancer and Samuel's "confidante" Ina!
After Lucio faked his death, he moved some hands and feet and changed his appearance, but Chen Rui was always by his side during this process, so he was able to recognize it immediately.
Master? An orc? Lucio's title surprised everyone. Ina stood up slowly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
