Chapter 53 Next Stage and Summary
“Where are the people! Where are those humans, that damn human hero?”
In the middle of the night, in Xu Lai’s remaining camp, the campfire had been extinguished. All that remained were half-planted farmland, a circle of fences, and some archery targets and arrows that were so broken that they could no longer be used.
These things all prove that humans once lived here, but in just half a day and half a night, these people have disappeared without a trace.
All the surrounding orc warriors fell into silence, neither one nor two dared to say a word.
Ogres are also famous brutalists among the orcs who are known for their brutality. At least ordinary orcs are relatively repulsive to eating humanoid creatures.
Seeing no one answered, the already furious two-headed ogre magician became even more angry. He raised the stick in his hand that was both a staff and a mallet, and severely beat an orc warrior. Smashed to the ground.
The orc warrior did not dare to resist at all. Even though the two-headed ogre magician was a mage, it actually had two professions because it was two people sharing one body.
So it is both a mage and a level 5 warrior. Its power is so terrifying that even three or four orcs cannot win against it.
“You trash, you can’t stand there are so many people at the foot of the mountain. Even if you can’t control them from leaving, you should at least wake me up!”
An orc warrior raised his head, as if to say that with your brother's appearance, who dares to go up and let him sleep?
What's more, it's not easy for them to serve the ogre. They can't even see what's going on under the mountain.
"Idiot, trash!" If the human hero ran away, what would he do to atone for his sins?
As for chasing into the depths of the grassland, that is even more impossible. That side is human territory. After climbing over this mountain, they have been convicted of invasion. No strong human being can see it. Will let them go.
However, this ogre magician did not know that his furious roar would eventually bring them great trouble.
"High Priest, do you think we should take action?" In the darkness, the heavily armed paladin asked the high priest beside him.
High Priest Ryan shook his head and said: "You are the leader, ask me what I am doing.
The temple asked us to relocate the villagers to avoid casualties, but we do not really want to tolerate these. The bastard invaded our land."
Walker smiled slightly and said: "Then please ask the high priest to hold the line for me. It is not convenient for me to deal with the guy above my head."
After that. , a golden light soaring into the sky lit up, and even Xu Lai, who was already more than ten kilometers away, saw the golden light soaring into the sky.
Although Xu Lai has been walking down the river, he has not been walking all the time.
Otherwise, at their marching speed, they would have to walk at least 30 kilometers before it got completely dark.
With many bonuses, even the slowest farmer can walk faster than Xu Lai can trot in modern society.
The most important thing is their terrifying physical strength. Normal walking consumes very slowly. Xu Lai estimates that after deducting 3 hours of eating and resting time, they can walk for at least 15 hours a day.
In other words, based on Xu Lai's trotting speed of 10 kilometers per hour, this group of people can walk at least 150 kilometers a day, still have 3 hours to eat and rest in the middle, and can sleep for 8 hours at night Hour.
The completely robot-like animal attributes made Xu Lai a little scared.
The reason why Xu Lai only walked more than ten kilometers was because he sent scouts out to collect map information along the way and check to see if there were any treasure chests in uninhabited places nearby.
Not to mention, at night, Xu Lai actually got a piece of information, saying that a stone tablet guarded by "many" monsters was found south of the river.
Xu Lai already understood the scout's statement very well and knew that it was a level 2 dwarf troop of less than 50 people, including a level 3 dwarf warrior.
So Xu Lai deliberately took a long detour and used the mobility advantage of the cavalry to continuously shoot arrows to seduce them in the front. The other archers in the rear kept shooting, easily annihilating the group of wild monsters.
However, a stone tablet is just a stone tablet with some words written on it.
“Going southeast from here, there are underground creatures!”
This should be regarded as a warning stone tablet. There is also a faint magical fluorescence on it, which makes it possible even in the dark night. People can clearly read the text above.
Perhaps it was this magical fluorescence that caused these dwarves to gather near the stone monument.
Originally, this was a group of humanoid creatures, and they didn't take the initiative to attack him. According to Xu Lai's past personality, he would never take the initiative to provoke them.
However, the Xu Lai who made the change was no longer the Xu Lai of yesterday. He silently told himself that they were just a group of flesh and blood puppets.
And he is not killing anyone. After all, there is no way anyone can kill someone without leaving a body behind. Even if it was just a pretense, this kind of hypnosis was of great help to him, allowing him to take the initiative to attack these humanoid monsters.
In fact, he wanted to recruit the other party at the beginning. After all, he had diplomatic skills, and the dwarves belonged to the barrier camp with the elves, so they had a friendly level of favorability from the beginning.
But since he was unwilling to accept the solicitation, he launched an attack without hesitation for the sake of gold coins and experience.
After the battle, the farmers went to collect the spoils, but Xu Lai stood under the stone monument, silently thinking about his whereabouts.
There are not many dwarves gathered here, which shows that this place has not always been uninhabited. It may be that the rotation of grazing in the village on the other side of the river caused this place to be temporarily unmanned.
This also shows that many people know the content of this stone tablet's warning, so there should be very few people grazing the "underground creatures" in the southeast.
Of course, this is just Xu Lai’s guess.
It’s just that Xu Lai must avoid appearing on the battlefield now, knowing that the hell demons have invaded and the orcs are attacking from behind.
Besides, although he has only been in this world for a short time, he has already concluded a rule, that is, there are often great gains in places with no people, which strengthens Xu Lai's determination to avoid crowds.
"Su Ya, go and have a rest. We won't set up a tent tonight. Let's work together for the night. Let's go southeast tomorrow."
Su Ya's decision on Xu Lai None of them would object, and Xu Lai obviously had no intention of consulting her, so she just responded softly.
Xu Lai’s rest order, patrolling when it’s time to patrol, cooking when it’s time to cook, everyone has their own things to do.
Only Xu Lai leaned against the stone tablet and counted his family fortune.
