"It smells so good!"
Ya Lei gnawed on a piece of barbecued rodent and gave a thumbs up to the master chef who used his eyes to barbecue.
When they were exploring in the wild in the past, the members of the expedition team, let alone whether they could catch the rats hiding in the ground in such a terrifying world, even if they did catch them, they probably would not dare to light a fire in the wild. Cooking.
I'm afraid that it will attract some beings like monsters or orcs.
How is it like now, not only can you have hot food to eat, but you can also drink hot mushroom soup.
Moreover, they don't have to worry about the threats posed by monsters with overly sensitive senses of smell or orcs.
"Would you like some yourself?"
"no thanks."
Wu Ke shook his head and refused. He used his own heat ray to cook another roast and handed it to the other person without any seasoning.
This world has been extremely devastated by the war. Although some animals and plants at the bottom of the food chain have survived by relying on their tenacious adaptability, their numbers are very small, which means that shortages of materials and food are natural. .
In this case, it doesn't make much sense for him to eat these ordinary foods. It is better to give them to people in need, such as Rick and the others who came out today.
During the month of joint action, Rick and others gradually deepened their understanding of Wu Ke. He was a powerful and willing to help their human beings, let's call him a good person.
Predators that are generally incomprehensible to humans, such as monsters or orcs, are troubles that can be easily solved in front of the other party.
There are many intelligent races in this world, but the two most wandering in the wild are the demon race and the orc race.
Most of the deaths of human beings are caused by encounters with these two races. Although the demon race and the orc race are at the bottom of the races participating in the war, they are irresistible enemies to humans. .
However, after traveling with Wu Ke, the threat of encountering these two races in the wild was minimized, even if they encountered a mid-level demon species, or encountered someone who had mastered the sepsis skills and was able to fight in the wild. Even though the orcs had improved their physical fitness to a terrifying level in a short period of time, they could just slap the opponent over and knock him over, making him unable to resist.
As for the more powerful high-level races, to be honest, it is not so easy to encounter them in the wild. Even if you encounter them, as long as you are not noticed or are involved in the battle between some high-level races. , lie down on the ground and hide, there will be few high-ranking races who will pay attention to the ant life under your feet.
. . . .
"The place we are going to this time is the location of a village that used to be another human settlement."
Rick said as he took out the map.
"The distribution map of the goblin forces we found last time, I deciphered some of the code written in it, but it contained information that the elves planned to march in that direction. We have to inform the settlement there before that. That’s all…”
Although they are different settlements, in this cruel world, it is the choice of most humans to unite and help each other as much as possible. Only by staying together for warmth can our species be more likely to survive in this cruel world. Keep going.
Reminding other settlements, and even accepting people from that settlement if there is spare capacity, is what Rick chose to do.
Of course, the premise is that that human village, that settlement still exists...
In this world, if you encounter a battle between high-ranking races, you will be affected by the battle.
Then, the destruction of a human settlement is as simple as eating and drinking water.
For this world, it is a completely normal thing.
Rick can only hope now that the human settlement he saw last time has not been destroyed yet and is still being supported.
However, this expectation is often met with disappointment.
. . . .
Climbing halfway up the hillside, we haven’t passed yet.
Just looking at the destination they were going to, they could see that there was no trace of anyone there.
Rick looked with a simple telescope, while Wu Ke could directly see the situation over there.
"There was nothing there. I only saw some human bones scattered in the soil on the ground. No, it seemed like dried feces..."
Other than that, there is no living person there.
Similarly, Wu Ke didn't hear any movement or sound of living people over there.
"Is that village gone?"
Rick gritted his teeth and did not question what Wu Ke said.
"Are we still going there?"
Ya Lei was a little sad and asked from the side.
"In the past, we are going to check the traces there to see if any survivors have escaped."
After a pause, Rick continued.
"Even if we confirm later that the settlement has been destroyed, the materials left there will probably be valuable to us."
If it were in the past, Rick might not let anyone take this risk with him, but now with Wu Ke's existence and a certain degree of safety, it allows him to take risks to a certain extent. move.
Materials are extremely important to weak humans in this terrible world.
. . . .
As I approached the abandoned settlement, I smelled a faint stench.
It was far away and the angle was wrong, so I didn't see it.
After walking into the center of the village, Wu Ke discovered that there was a pothole.
The pits were filled with human bones.
Some of the bones even showed signs of being eaten.
Judging from the appearance of the skeleton, there are both men and women, as well as children...
"There are no survivors in this village. These feces belong to the ogres of the demon species. They will appear in groups and are mortal enemies of the orcs. But if a human settlement is discovered, those guys will not be polite. Obviously, They discovered this place and held a feast here, and the people in this settlement were their food..."
Rick clenched his fists. This is a world where the weak eat the strong. He has long known that even weak humans will eat their own livestock.
However, Rick still felt extremely uncomfortable looking at the scene in front of him of his own kind being eaten like livestock.
"It's so miserable."
Ya Lei covered his mouth and thought about the reasons why those companions who volunteered to sacrifice themselves as bait after encountering the demon species did so.
In addition to allowing other companions to escape, there is also an aura that prevents the demon species from following them and chasing them to their stronghold...
Although most monsters have low intelligence, no matter how low they are, they are still stronger than the normal beasts that are still alive.
It is not difficult to imagine how the human settlement village hidden in this hidden valley was discovered by those clumsy ogres.
Perhaps, no one sacrificed themselves after encountering them, and they chose to escape together. They thought they had escaped, but in fact they brought devastating disaster to the settlement.
"The settlement destroyed by the ogre will leave a lot of useful materials. The ogre will not use things made by humans. Let's look for it together. There should be a lot of things we need left in this settlement."
After a pause, Rick added: "But everyone should be careful. Although these dried feces prove that the tragedy happened a long time ago, at least a month ago, there might still be ogres here. "
"Don't worry about this. I can confirm that except for us, there is no other living thing here, not even a mouse..."
Wu Ke said with assurance.
"Not a single mouse?"
Rick asked suddenly.
"Well, what's wrong?"
After seeing Wu Ke nodding in confirmation, Rick's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Oops, I'm afraid there's something nearby..."
Before Rick finished speaking, Wu Ke raised his head first and looked up at the sky full of black ashes.
Soon, a sharp roar came from far away from high in the sky.
The black shadow with a wingspan of more than ten meters flew through the black ashes in the sky.
Then he rotated and stayed on top, looking here like a hawk.
[Dragon elves, indeed, only the dragon power unique to the dragon elves can make animals that have no intelligence, but have a sharper sense of danger than humans, detect the danger here, and this is why there is not even a mouse here. , even if there are many leftover food eaten by ogres...]
"Everyone, spread out and run!"
Rick was very nervous and shouted to the more than ten people who came together.
These people were all carrying things on their backs. Because they were coming to another human settlement, they planned to exchange some needed supplies with the settlement here after passing on the information that the forest elves were about to march here.
However, the plan did not change quickly. The human settlement here had been destroyed by the demon ogres before they arrived.
The demise of the settlement here is unexpected, but it is reasonable.
So, now, their encounter with the dragon spirit species was completely unexpected and the worst possible emergency.
Rick has recognized the pterodactyl-like guy above his head. It is a relatively weak dragon among the dragon elves, because compared to the powerful upper-level dragon elves, the opponent is more like a beast. exist.
But because of this, Rick felt a headache. It would be easier if he were a high-level dragon spirit, because those high-level dragons have higher intelligence and wisdom, and they simply look down on humans who can't use elf power.
But for this kind of guy, it is obvious that the other party has now regarded them as prey that can be hunted...
"Don't panic, I'm here."
Wu Ke comforted him.
The power of dragon spirits is deep-rooted, and Rick's hometown when he was a child was destroyed for the second time by this kind of existence.
In the presence of psychological shadow, it almost made him forget that there was actually a powerful guy on his side.
only……
"can you?"
Even though he has seen Wu Ke blowing away half of the mountain with one energy cannon, Rick is still a mortal and cannot tell how strong Wu Ke is. Anyway, dragon spirits can do similar things to him, so Now I can't help but feel a little worried.
"I don't know. You have to try it to find out."
Looking at the pterosaur above his head that started to fly down at a high speed like a fighter jet, Wu Ke said somewhat conservatively.
"Then let's retreat first, and you hold it back. After we leave, if you can't withstand it, just get out of the way."
Rick said this, and this is all he can say now.
Wu Ke nodded and gave him an OK gesture.
The next moment, the ground where he was standing was directly trampled into a crater.
Wu Ke's entire body broke through the world's sound barrier in a short period of time, and flew towards the direction where the pterosaur swooped down.
. . . .
"Dong~"
A huge roar sounded in the air, and Wu Ke's fist was thrown into the air. Just when the pterosaur was about to come into contact with him, it suddenly made a Z-shaped flight path, avoiding him and sinking with great force. punch, and at the same time attack him with sharp claws...
Violent sparks flashed on his back, and the two quickly passed by.
Wu Ke felt a little hot on his back. He reached out and touched it and found it was a little wet.
When I took it back, I saw there was some blood.
The opponent's claws actually broke through his defense!
. . . .
The Winged Claw, a mid-level dragon spirit, adjusted its body shape in the air.
Its claws were shining with gleaming light.
There was confusion in his small eyes, as if he was wondering why he didn't kill the strange humanoid guy in the distance with just one blow...
You know, although it is not a powerful dragon among dragon spirits, it can be named after its claws. You can imagine how hard the claws are. I am afraid that even some fantasy species known for their defense power can be directly attacked. It can't bear even one paw.
. . . .
"Elf power?"
Wu Keyou learned from Rick that the extraordinary power system in this world is driven by elf power.
However, although the claws can scratch him and hurt him, the strength of this dragon seems not to be very good.
The wound on his back was not deep at all, and he fully recovered in just two or three breaths.
Stopping in mid-air, Wu Ke was ready. When the pterosaur attacked again, he resisted the attack and then grabbed the opponent directly with his hands, capturing the opponent alive with brute force...
. . . .
However, the Pterodactylus had no intention of continuing to attack, and instead distanced itself from him.
Immediately afterwards, a bright red light shone in its mouth.
The fire sac hidden under the feathers began to swell.
The lines of the Elf Corridor spread across it.
【Yanlong Roar】
It is a signature skill that can only be mastered by high-ranking dragon elves. Obviously, the strength of a winged claw dragon that can perform this move is infinitely close to that of a high-ranking dragon elves.
After it discovered that its powerful claw attack could not directly defeat the enemy, it chose the long-range attack method with some caution. Although the beast's thinking is far more rational than the rationality of intellectual life, this guy's wisdom is not low.
