"Dadara, Dadara."
Along with the Forest Troll's shouts, some of the Forest Troll further away also kowtowed devoutly and shouted loudly.
"What, what's going on?" Not only Han Shuo, but the dwarves and elves around them were also surprised by the sudden change. One of the dwarves suddenly asked in surprise.
At this moment, Bennett seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and suddenly exclaimed, "That skeletal warrior with wings seems to be similar to the demon that the Forest Troll worshipped. That demon is naturally evil and likes to plunder everything. I heard from the elders in the tribe that the demon that the Forest Troll worshipped is called Dadara!"
Not far away, an old Forest Troll priest who seemed to be on his deathbed at any moment crawled quickly toward Little Skull on his knees. What surprised Han Shuo was that he was crawling quite fast, and in a short while, he was in front of Little Skull. This old Forest Troll priest spoke to Little Skull in the Forest Troll language.
Little Skull stood there blankly with the bone knife in his hand, scratching his smooth skull with his empty left hand, as if he didn't know what was going on. He turned around and looked at Han Shuo with empty eyes, as if waiting for Han Shuo to give him an order.
Hearing Bennett's words, Han Shuo roughly understood that something strange had happened. These Forest Troll must have regarded Little Skull as the demon that they worshipped. The old priest's communication seemed to be about to take Little Skull somewhere. All the Forest Troll behind him were kneeling on the ground and motionless. No one mentioned anything about invading the dwarven village again.
"Han, what's going on? What should we do?" A dwarf looked at Han Shuo and asked blankly.
Han Shuo was thinking furiously when he heard the dwarf's question. After hesitating for a moment, Han Shuo wasn't sure what would happen next. He said to them, "I'll think of a way to delay these Forest Troll. You guys leave this valley immediately and find a safe place with Chief Bennett and the others. I think I'll be able to find you guys again."
"Then will you be in danger?" The dwarf was a bit worried about Han Shuo and asked a bit unwillingly.
"Don't worry, I have a way. Bennett, I think you guys should leave as well. This skeletal warrior of mine is a bit odd, but I don't think he's the demon that the Forest Troll worships. I can't predict how the situation will develop in the future. It's safer if you leave with them. "Han Shuo looked at the dwarves and the elves and slowly persuaded them.
"Let's go. It's very dangerous here. I think we should notify the elders first." Bennett thought for a moment and nodded before retreating with the other elves.
Under Han Shuo's urging, the dwarves were also a bit reluctant and slowly retreated into the valley. An original demon that had been observing the Forest Troll all along suddenly split off and left with the dwarves. This allowed Han Shuo to clearly see where the dwarves were about to retreat to.
After a while, there was no one else apart from Han Shuo and Little Skull at the entrance to the village. Han Shuo's original demon kept an eye on the movements of the dwarves and found that they were crossing an icy river and leaving through a crevice in the slanting valley.
"Does anyone know how to speak the common tongue of the continent?" Han Shuo walked out from behind and asked in the human tongue after arriving beside Little Skull.
The old priest who had been kneeling in front of Little Skull and speaking in the language of the Forest Troll suddenly looked up at Han Shuo and said in the human tongue, "You're with the great goddess Dadara. Why are you a cunning human?"
"Are you sure that he's your Dadara?" Han Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry and shook his head as he asked oddly.
The face of this old Forest Troll priest was a wretched green, and the skin all over his body was as dry as old tree bark that had weathered many years of wind and rain. He revealed an expression of extreme disdain at this moment and said, "Of course I wouldn't be wrong. This must be the clone of the great goddess Dadara in the mortal world."
As the old priest spoke, he took out an ancient scroll from a leather pouch with great care. The ancient scroll slowly unfurled as his withered and yellow hands flipped it. Apart from a few Forest Troll characters that were difficult to distinguish like tadpoles, there was a drawing of an enormous skeleton with wings on its back. The skeleton's skeleton was the color of pure white jade, and the wings on its back were bare and without feathers. It was indeed eighty to ninety percent similar to the bone spurs on the back of Little Skull's head.
Under the feet of this large white skeleton was a bare mountain peak. The mountain peak was piled with all sorts of gold, silver, and jewels, including some that seemed to be very precious. However, one of the white skeleton's eyes was empty, and the other was covered by a black eyepatch. It looked like the one-eyed costume of a pirate that was used to pillage and pillage.
"This is the appearance of our great goddess Dadara, we won't be wrong. He's the clone of the great goddess Dadara in the mortal world. He will guide us to plunder even more gold, silver, and jewels, countless jewels, and endless rations. The great goddess Dadara will guide our tribe and rob the cunning human nation." The old Forest Troll priest's tone was inexplicably excited as he shouted loudly.
Apart from the fact that Little Skull was a little smaller and not pure white, its appearance was very similar to that of Dadara in the scroll. It was no wonder that these greedy Forest Troll thought that Little Skull was the clone of the plundering demon Dadara in the mortal world.
Although Han Shuo was surprised by this unimaginable situation, Han Shuo thought about it carefully. Suddenly, an idea came to him. With a smirk on his face, he gave an order to Little Skull.
Little Skull, who had been standing there blankly with the machete in his hand, suddenly waved the machete in his hand, and made a gesture with his empty left hand, signaling for everyone to stand up.
"Oh! Dadara has heard our call! " The old Forest Troll priest immediately danced with excitement. He waved his skinny, chicken claw-like hands, and said something in a solemn and deep Forest Troll voice.
The Forest Troll, who had been kneeling and worshipping everyone, cheered loudly. They stood up from the ground, untied the pockets on their bodies, and shook them vigorously.
Little Skull waited until all the Forest Troll had stood up, then pointed at Han Shuo with his empty left hand according to Han Shuo's order. Then, under the puzzled gaze of the Forest Troll, he pointed at himself with his empty left hand.
"He wants me to communicate with you as his emissary." Han Shuo straightened his back and said arrogantly to the old priest. As soon as Han Shuo finished speaking and gave his order, Little Skull nodded in a timely manner, as if confirming Han Shuo's words.
"Why, why did you let this cunning human be your emissary?" The old Forest Troll priest obviously couldn't accept this fact, and immediately asked in confusion.
As soon as the old Forest Troll priest finished speaking, Little Skull extended his machete and placed it against the old priest's neck. Little Skull stood on his heels, trying his best to make himself look taller. He stared at the old priest with his two empty eye sockets, and the sound of his teeth crunching came from his mouth.
The old Forest Troll priest was so frightened that his body immediately went limp. He kowtowed again with a crash, raising both hands high up in the air as he cried out, "I won't dare question your decisions anymore, please don't take away everything we have!"
Some of the Forest Troll in the vicinity watched as the most virtuous old priest in the tribe was blatantly threatened by Little Skull, but none of them dared to move. They only stood there with lowered heads and spoke in the language of the Forest Troll.
"Get up, get up. Your Madam Dadara has forgiven you. I think you can acknowledge me as your emissary now?" Han Shuo snickered internally, but his face was serious as he spoke to the old priest.
Hanging his head, the old priest had an expression of unwillingness on his face as he nodded, "Please, Madam Dadara and the emissary, come to our tribe. We have some things that we need to present to Madam Dadara!"
"Didn't you come this time to plunder the dwarves?" Han Shuo started slightly and asked.
"No, I immediately arranged for my tribesmen to search for your traces after I heard your appearance last time. Those annoying dwarves are only a village of a hundred people, it's not worth it for us to mobilize so many of our elites. We've heard that your lordship has appeared nearby, so we've mobilized so many of our tribesmen this time just to escort your lordship back to the sacred grounds. "The old Forest Troll priest shook his head and explained to Han Shuo.
"Sacred grounds? What sacred grounds?" Han Shuo asked in surprise.
"Our tribe has specially built a palace for your lordship, and there are ancient items passed down from generation to generation inside. It's said that they originally belonged to Madam Dadara, and we'll offer them all to your lordship this time." The old priest looked at Han Shuo with some disgust, but he didn't dare go against Little Skull's orders and explained impatiently.
"Very good, very good. Let's depart now!" Han Shuo was overjoyed when he heard these words and immediately gave a long laugh, urging the Forest Troll to hurry up and depart.
The old priest didn't say much and waved his hand. The fiercest Forest Troll leader in the distance walked humbly towards the old priest. The leader immediately gave the order after a series of mumbling instructions. The five to six hundred Forest Troll didn't continue to concern themselves with the matters of the dwarves and marched into the depths of the Dark Forest in a grandiose manner.
An ornate palanquin made of black jade was embedded with some bright gems and covered in soft feathers. Four tall and strong Forest Troll warriors carried the Little Skull within as they walked into the depths of the Dark Forest. It looked like these Forest Troll had long since been prepared.
The Little Skull lay comfortably in the palanquin and looked around. As an emissary, Han Shuo couldn't enjoy this kind of treatment and could only travel on foot like the others. They encountered a lot of magic beasts along the way, but normal magic beasts didn't dare to get close to five or six hundred forest trolls. Even some of the third or second-tier magic beasts chose to give up on hunting in the face of such a large group of people. Instead, they stayed far away from this group of villainous scoundrels.
On the outskirts of the Dark Forest, the innately greedy Forest Troll were notorious and feared by outsiders. Whether it was the rare races living on the outskirts of the Dark Forest or the adventurers and merchants who'd come into the Dark Forest, they would all be plundered if they were encountered by these Forest Troll.
Apart from some of the more powerful beings in the depths of the Dark Forest, these notorious scoundrels on the outskirts of the Dark Forest were indeed hated and feared by everyone. As the archenemies of the Forest Troll, the elves had fought against the Forest Troll many times and had never been able to obtain absolute victory. No one could stop their natural inclination to plunder.
As they gradually approached the depths of the Dark Forest, even the Forest Troll, who'd been so arrogant just a moment ago, began to be a bit cautious as they slowly moved deeper into the Dark Forest, as if deathly afraid of making a big commotion.
"Why are you all so timid the deeper we go?" Han Shuo detected the oddity of the Forest Troll and couldn't help but ask the old priest next to him.
The old priest looked left and right and explained, "We've already entered the middle layer of the Dark Forest. There are many higher level magical creatures here, as well as some special races. The humans that appear here aren't to be trifled with either. We don't want to provoke them, otherwise there'll be trouble."
A wave of rumbling sounds traveled from not too far away as a frighteningly tall white stone giant, six to seven meters tall, carried a large tree on its shoulders and walked further and further into the forest. A low hum sounded in the sky as an enormous black shadow passed by. When the shadow landed on the ground, it reflected two long, slender necks.
"That thing that looks like it's covered in lime is the Mountain Giant. It has a gentle personality and doesn't like fighting, but it'll be a disaster if you provoke it. The one that flew by just now is the lowest level twin headed dragon. They can't actually be considered dragons, they're only a level two magical creature, but they can spit out poison and aren't easy to deal with. "The old priest explained on Han Shuo's behalf when he saw the surprise on Han Shuo's face.
Nodding, Han Shuo said with deep emotion, "I finally understand now why you only dare to be arrogant in the outskirts of the Dark Forest!"
