Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 39 The Origin of All Evil
Haruka picked up the fruit, took a hard bite, and forced himself to swallow it.In this way, she finished her lunch like serving a sentence.Although it is still not as good as the usual appetite, but at least it can maintain physical strength.

"The great chief of the ogre, why did he appear in this place?" the girl asked.

Huang Quan said: "You should be more concerned about what they are looking for."

The girl nodded and wrote this down.

Huang Quan pondered for a moment, and said: "They have dispatched a great chief and a large number of elite fighters. What they are looking for must be very important. And above the great chief, there is a guy called Master Hun. Even if we take away this The camp is useless, they will come again, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"There are other powerful settlements in this area that can distract the ogres."

Yao's eyes dimmed, and he said softly: "No more, within ten days' journey, there are no other settlements."

"There are so few people?" Huang Quan was a little surprised.

The units of measurement of the Lost People are really worrying and generally have to be judged according to the context.The ten-day journey Yao said at this time was not the ten-day journey when the settlements migrated, but the hunting range of the settlement hunters.

The strength of the settlement hunter is quite outstanding. In the rainforest, even ten days can cover a considerable distance.

It is very easy for them to travel dozens of kilometers a day, just to maintain their physical strength to deal with danger, and after leaving the camp, they will gradually weaken and become manic, which limits their hunting range.

In such a vast area, there is only one settlement, but the number of ogres has multiplied!

From what Huang Quan saw, the ogres were divided into several levels: ordinary ogres, warriors, ferocious ogres, elite warriors, and chiefs.The strength of each level is obviously different, and the number is naturally distributed in steps.If you think about it roughly in this way, you can roughly know how many ogres there are.

In the ecosystem of this world, the lost people are the food, and the ogres are the predators.Now that the food is facing extinction, but the predators are overwhelming, it is somewhat unreasonable.

Huang Quan suddenly thought of what Cracking Mountain Blade said before he died: "You humans are the moths of the world."

The Blade of Cracking Mountain was powerful, wise and calm, and before he died, he must have firmly believed in this to say this sentence.But what did the Lost People do to make him realize this?
Huang Quan asked carefully, but Yao couldn't answer.

The life in the settlement is monotonous and simple, with little change day after day, and everyone is busy with food and survival for tomorrow.

There are only a few elders who can have some time to think about the future, and because of their age and memory decline, the content of their thinking is very limited, and they have to allocate most of their energy to preserve the knowledge obtained by the ancestors.

Such a settlement struggling to survive every day can't do anything special.

Huang Quan thought, if he wanted to figure out the meaning of this sentence, he might have to go to the shelter.Only there is it possible to preserve the pre-settlement history.

After being out for half a day, Huang Quan felt as if his body was covered with a layer of cobwebs. Although it didn't affect his movements, it was sticky and uncomfortable, and his joints were also a little sore.

These are very subtle sensations, he couldn't feel them when he just woke up from hibernation, but now that his strength has recovered, his sensations have gradually become sharper.

Huang Quan glanced around, feeling more vigilant.There is a faint malice in this world, and it seems no coincidence that hunters can only leave the settlement for a few days, and memories fade quickly.

Huang Quan looked at the sky and said, "We should go back."

"It's better to go back earlier, let everyone prepare early."

The girl got up and walked towards the settlement with Huang Quan.As she walked, she suddenly asked, "Will they come again?"

"of course."

"Is the settlement moving again?"

Huang Quan was silent for a moment, Fang said: "I'm afraid it is."

The place where the Mountain Splitting Blade appeared was already very close to the camp, and he wasn't hunting for it, but looking for something, which made it even worse.

This means that the ogres are not spinning around hunting, but will continue to search the entire area. Unless they find what they want next, the camp will be discovered sooner or later.

"But the camp can no longer be moved." Yao's voice was very low.

"Because of the Stone of Life?" Huang Quan looked very calm, without any surprise expression.

"After the stone of life is moved, it must stay for at least a year to absorb the power of the earth and the forest before it can recover. If we move now, it will hurt the root of the stone of life, and its power will become weaker and weaker."

Huang Quan had already guessed, and only said: "There is still time and opportunity to remedy the weakness of the Stone of Life. But if the camp is found by ogres, everyone will die."

In fact, the girl also knows this truth, but she is unwilling to accept it.

"After you go back, let's see the decision of the Great Elder."

Huang Quan nodded.

At this moment, something suddenly stepped on Yao's feet, and after the crackling sound, a scream echoed in the forest.

The girl was startled, and hurriedly jumped aside, only to find that what she stepped on was something like a mushroom.After being crushed by a foot, it made a sound similar to screaming.

"Screaming Mushroom!" The girl's expression changed drastically.

"what is this?"

The girl quickly explained.

Screaming mushrooms are specially cultivated by ogres, and their sound can be transmitted very far.Specially trained hunters in the ogre tribe can accurately determine its location by hearing the sound of the shriek mushroom, and the misleading methods commonly used by the Lost People are useless at all.

Yao didn't expect that, just a day or two after the new camp was set up, there would be screaming mushrooms nearby, and just now he was absent-minded about the future of the camp, so he stepped into the trap.

Huang Quan didn't panic. He looked around and pulled out another Screaming Mushroom for a closer look.He squeezed hard, and a small hole was broken in the outer wall of the screaming mushroom, and the air flow shot out from inside, making a screaming sound.

"What if the beast steps on it?"

"It will scream only if we humans step on it."

And this kind of thing, Huang Quan was surprised again.It seems that ogres are indeed targeting humans everywhere, as can be seen from the targeted warning things such as screaming mushrooms.

"Let's go back quickly!" The girl was restless.

At this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two of them: "Want to leave? It's too late!"

The girl was shocked, and was about to find the source of the sound, when a black shadow suddenly popped up from the grass and pierced Huang Quan's waist!

The attack came so fast that the girl didn't even have time to scream.Huang Quan was aware of it in an instant, and the scarlet warning flashed continuously in his vision.

On one side of his body, he passed the black shadow and grabbed it with his backhand.

However, that black shadow erupted with terrifying power in an instant, shaking Huang Quan's hand away, and piercing Huang Quan's chest like a poisonous snake!

With such strength and tricky angle, Huang Quan couldn't dodge it in time, so he could barely avoid the vital point by turning sideways, and was pierced through the shoulder by the black shadow.But how could he be plotted against so easily when he traveled across the major star fields?

Huang Quan stopped drinking, held the black shadow with both hands, exerted a frustrating force, and twisted the black shadow to pieces!Then he stepped forward, rushed forward in an instant, and slammed into a big tree.

The trunk of the big tree remained motionless, but more than ten wooden thorns shot out from the other side, each root was as sharp as a knife!

A figure suddenly appeared from behind the tree, and was shot by several wooden thorns, causing blood to splatter immediately.With a muffled snort, she retreated tens of meters away, and her figure gradually became clear.

This is a woman covered in a dark cloak, most of her face is hidden in the shadows, only her mouth and chin can be seen.A streak of blood oozes from the corner of her mouth, and her face is pale, apparently seriously injured.Those wooden thorns pierced deeply into her body, some of them were almost completely submerged.

The corners of her mouth curled up, a weird smile appeared, and she said, "I didn't expect that there would be a real strong man in such a remote place. Are you from the sanctuary? No, the sanctuary is like a kennel. It should be impossible for someone like you to appear. So, you come from the source of all evil?"

The source of all evil?Neither Huang Quan nor Yao had heard of this place.

She seemed to see the confusion of the two of them, and after a low laugh, she said, "I forgot, in your mouth, the source of all evil has another name: Holy Land."

Yao let out an exclamation.In the hearts of the lost people, the holy land has almost become a legend, a pure land without all suffering.

The woman ignored Yao, just looked at Huang Quan, and said, "Next time I come again, I won't let you pass the level so easily. Remember my name, Hun!"

Huang Quan pulled out the barb left by the three-edged steel whip on his shoulder bit by bit, threw it on the ground, and said solemnly: "I never thought that any kind of fish, turtle, shrimp, and crab would dare to act presumptuously in front of me. Let me meet again next time." It's time for you to die!"

Hun chuckled, didn't care, and went away in an instant.
