Chen Rui did not massacre the Magnificent Mammoth Tribe. He only used the Realm of Winter to temporarily incapacitate the Orcs so that they would not catch up to Coral's caravan and take revenge.
Coral's trip was not in vain. While Chen Rui was interrogating a few Orcs, the merchant managed to obtain some of the herbs that he wanted with the help of the 'elven powerhouse'. However, Coral was smart enough not to be too greedy and left behind the goods he had brought.
By the time Chen Rui was done interrogating, Coral had already completed the exchange and loading and unloading. The timing was just right. Finally, he left the Magnificent Mammoth Tribe with Chen Rui.
To express his gratitude, Coral gave Chen Rui a hand-drawn detailed map of the Plain of Nightmare. Compared to the one Michelle had given him, this map could only be considered inferior. However, in terms of practical value, it was ten times better. The various regions and passages were marked in detail on the map, as well as the tribes and dangers that could be encountered.
With this map, together with the elven magic map and some information from the Orc captives, Chen Rui was able to reach the Thunderstorm Tribe as soon as possible.
Blanche was most likely already sent to the Swamp of Bad Luck, but just in case, it was better to make a trip to the Thunderstorm Tribe first. The Thunderstorm Tribe and the Swamp of Bad Luck were in the same direction, and the former was the only way to the latter.
The Thunderstorm Tribe was the most powerful Orc tribe in the Plain of Nightmare. It was said that they had the royal bloodline of the Orc Empire, and were extremely powerful.
The plains allowed White Wind to travel at maximum speed. With the help of the map, it only took Chen Rui five days to reach the River of Spirits where the Thunderstorm Tribe was located.
The River of Spirits was the largest river in the Plain of Nightmare. It was a standard river in the plains, with a wide valley and a small slope. The natural curves of the river formed strange lakes of different sizes.
The Thunderstorm Tribe was located next to these lush lakes. They were spread out, occupying the most fertile land in the Plain of Nightmare. It was said that this area used to be the capital of the Orc Empire, and there were some ruins and ruins along the way.
When Chen Rui arrived, it was already nightfall. From the distribution of lights and bonfires, the Thunder Bao Tribe's camp was far larger than the Magnificent Mammoth Tribe's, and the total number of people in the tribe was over fifty thousand.
For an orc tribe where even their women were powerful, this was a huge force.
Chen Rui settled Bai Feng down in the forest far away. Under the cover of the night, he bypassed the guards and snuck into the camp.
The temperature difference between the day and night in the Plain of Nightmares was huge. In the camp, a large group of Orcs gathered around a bonfire. They set up pots and drank the rare wine in the Plain of Nightmares while chewing the food they had been given. The tribal system of the Orcs was somewhat similar to the primitive tribes in Chen Rui's impression, but it was not completely communal or communal. The braver and stronger the people were, the more food and women they could get. On the other hand, those who did not contribute or were useless would be banished from the tribe. Where there was competition, there would naturally be improvement. This was also the survival of the fittest. It was definitely not luck that the Orc tribes could survive until now after the fall of the Empire.
After drinking a few cups of wine, the Beastmen's heads began to heat up. Some of them boasted in front of the female Beastmen, saying how bravely they had defeated many Magical Beasts. Some of them began to beat drums made of animal skin, while others walked to the open space to wrestle.
The open space in this area was very large, so it was inconvenient to hide. Chen Rui's mind moved, and he used < Camouflage > and < Breath Holding > to transform into a medium-sized orc. He swaggered over and sat in the crowd. The surroundings were noisy, and no one suspected anything.
Chen Rui's nose twitched, and his attention turned to the Orc's wine bowl. Naturally, he was not paying attention to the bone bowl made from the skull of a magical beast, but the purple wine in the bowl. The wine's fragrance was very mellow, and it seemed a little familiar.
With a thought, a metal bowl appeared in Chen Rui's hand. He walked to the big barrel, scooped a bowl of wine, and tasted it. He frowned. This was actually the famous purple wine of the human world. He had tasted it in Venus City, and the quality of this wine was very high. It was definitely not brewed by the Orcs themselves.
As he was thinking, a voluptuous female Orc who was drinking walked over and winked at him. "You're not from the North Camp, are you? This is my first time seeing you."
"Yes." Afraid that his identity would be exposed, Chen Rui nodded and sat in a corner while drinking. He pretended to watch the wrestling.
Unexpectedly, the female Orc followed him. "I'm Fork. What's your name?"
"I … I'm Hank." Chen Rui impolitely borrowed the name of the Mighty Mammoth Tribe's chief.
Seeing that Yue Yang was about to finish his wine, Fork carried a small barrel over and filled it up for him. "Hank, I'll treat you to a drink. Can you give me that bowl?"
So it turned out that she had taken a fancy to this thing. Chen Rui looked at the metal bowl in his hand and handed it over. "Okay."
"That's great!" Fork's eyes lit up as she received the bowl. She used her sleeves to rub the bowl, feeling that it was shiny and exquisite. She couldn't help but be overjoyed and moved closer to Yue Yang.
Chen Rui felt a strong body odor enter his nostrils. He almost fainted, but Lady Fork, who was completely unaware of it, continued to rub her body against his arm. She seemed to be very affectionate.
Hank groaned inwardly. He had casually transformed into an Orc, but the female Orc had taken a fancy to him. Suddenly, he had an idea. He took the small barrel and poured Fork a bowl of wine, saying, "This wine tastes really good."
"Of course!" Fork downed the wine in one gulp. "Although those humans are very weak, the wine they make is much better than ours!"
Chen Rui saw that Little Fork was a little tipsy, so he asked tentatively, "Where did you get this wine?"
Little Fork hiccuped. "Isn't it from the group of human merchants that we captured …?"
"Oh right, I drank a bit of wine, I actually forgot about it." Chen Rui patted his head like an Orc and continued to pour wine for Little Fork.
"Are those people still there?"
"They're locked up in the Central King's Tent's dungeon …" Little Fork's wine had obviously gone to her head. She hugged Chen Rui. "Come, let's go to the tent …"
Chen Rui dodged her lightly, causing Little Fork to miss. He caught her hand and asked in a low voice, "Where's the half-elf with the bounty on her head?"
"The half-elf is … in the dungeon …" Little Fork said incoherently. She grabbed Chen Rui's hand and touched her chest. "My tent is …"
Dungeon? Blanche is still here? Chen Rui's eyes immediately lit up.
"Bastard! Stay away from my Little Fork! " A roar sounded, and a tall and strong orc rushed over. Chen Rui clearly sensed what the orc was going to do in his consciousness. His mind moved, and he didn't resist.
The tall Orc grabbed Chen Rui's neck and lifted him up. With a sudden force, he threw Chen Rui far away.
"If I see you near her again, I'll break your neck!" The tall Orc looked at Chen Rui, who was lying on the ground and could not get up, and said fiercely.
"Rhett! Rhett! "The Orcs nearby raised their hands and roared with laughter.
Listening to the words around them, it seemed that Little Fork was one of the best beauties in the North Camp. Chen Rui could not help but admire the Orc's strange sense of beauty. Rhett thumped his chest at Chen Rui as if to demonstrate his strength. He picked up Little Fork and strode into the tent. Needless to say, what followed would definitely be the sound of thunder and fire …
Chen Rui did not dare to imagine such a hardcore scene. He secretly wished the two of them a happy marriage, and pretended to be dejected as he got up. He left the area with the image of a loser amidst the ridicule of the Orcs.
After a few twists and turns, Chen Rui finally found his way to the central tent. There were obvious palace buildings here, and most of them were dilapidated. It was very likely that this was the ruins of the Orc Empire's palace.
The terrain here was much more complicated than he imagined, and the guards were rather strict. They were all connected to each other, and it seemed like they were well-trained. The Orcs with disorderly discipline that he saw earlier could not be compared to them. It seemed like they were all elites.
Chen Rui finally found the location of the dungeon after exploring for a while. It looked more like the entrance to an underground cave, and there was a team of strong Orcs armed with weapons guarding the entrance.
These Orcs did not notice that an invisible figure had already entered the gate without a sound. Chen Rui sneaked all the way down. The tunnel was very long, and after a few turns, he finally found the dungeon. The gate of the dungeon had long been broken and could not be used. There were two soldiers guarding the gate, and there were no torches inside, so it was very dark inside.
With a thought, Chen Rui waved his hands quickly, and the two Orc soldiers only felt their vision go black, and they lost consciousness. Once he attacked, the Stealth skill would automatically lose effect. Chen Rui revealed himself and walked inside.
Although the visibility was very low, with Chen Rui's eyesight, he could still see that compared to the ruins of the palaces on the ground, the main body of the dungeon was still in good condition. There were not many usable prison cells, and there were about five or six large stone cages with some people sitting in them. However, he could not see their faces clearly, and he did not know where Blanche was.
With a thought, a magic tool for illumination appeared in Chen Rui's hand, and it emitted a strong light.
The sudden appearance of the strong light startled the people in the cages, and they could not adapt to the strong light for a while. They all closed their eyes, and when they slowly adapted, they saw that the light in the dungeon was actually from an "Orc".
The "Orc" held some kind of light tool in his hand, and he moved closer to the cages and shone it one by one, as if he was looking for someone. Some of the timid guessed that he was looking for someone to be dragged out and executed, and they all lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Blanche?" To the surprise of the human prisoners, this "Orc" seemed to have a very mellow pronunciation in the common language, and did not have the awkwardness of an ordinary Orc.
Chen Rui shouted a few times in the voice of "Richard", but there was no response. Just as he was feeling strange, he suddenly stopped in front of a cage, and the light tool moved closer.
This was 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, and he stood up abruptly. He quickly walked to the stone pillar of the cage, and asked with some uncertainty, "Master?"
Chen Rui nodded. He did not expect to not find Blanche here, but instead find his former servant, the gunner Lucio, and Samuel's "confidante", Ina!
Lucio had done something to change his appearance after faking his death, but Chen Rui had been by his side during the process, so he could recognize him immediately.
Master? An Orc? The way Lucio addressed him shocked everyone. Ina stood up slowly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
