GOR Chapter 631 "Journey West"
Muse is very unlucky.
As Mrs. Lister's sister, she was raised as a boy. Because the Lister Family has no male offspring, Muse had no choice but to disguise herself as a boy in order to prevent people from having ulterior motives. But because of her disguise, in order to keep it a secret, she didn't have the opportunity to learn how to swim …
One must know, if a girl takes off her outer clothes while swimming, how can she disguise herself as a man?
Thus, Muse … … is very bad at swimming. Or rather, she used to be the kind of person who can't swim and will sink after a few flaps.
Later, with the Lister Family's integration into the Tulip Family, the family no longer needed Muse to pretend to be a man. Muse, who regained her identity as a girl, also tried to learn how to swim. However, her swimming skills are still not good. Although it's better than before, she can only dog-paddle a few times. If thrown into the water, she'll barely drown.
When she was running away, she didn't have the time to think about this. When she reached the river and saw the water, Muse's heart sank.
The others are all old mercenaries who have spent their lives running and swimming in the mountains. Even if Longbottom's swimming skills are average, Fatty is still a master of martial arts. Even if his swimming skills are a bit bad, his dou qi is strong and he can hold his breath. This is a great help.
Muse, on the other hand, can't do it.
Moreover, the most unfortunate thing is that the place where she jumped into the river, there is a stone in the shallow water. Although the river hasn't dried up yet, the water is much shallower compared to summer.
Muse plunged into the river, but unfortunately, her head hit the stone and she fainted.
Fortunately, the river is shallow in autumn. After Muse fainted, her body didn't sink. In the shallow water, half of her body was above the water and she floated downstream.
At that time, Longbottom and the others were swimming chaotically across the river while being chased by the wolf riders, so no one noticed her. Fatty was originally very concerned about Muse, but he himself was not a good swimmer. Once he entered the water, he forgot to take care of Muse. By the time he reached the shore and discovered that Muse was gone, it was already too late.

"¥# ¥% … …% ¥… …% … …"
The surrounding voices were clearly not in human language. Muse could vaguely hear these voices, but she was still a little dizzy because her stomach was bloated. When he moved slightly, he felt water flowing out of his mouth.
At this moment, someone finally came up from the side and kicked Muse hard. Then, two long swords reached over. Fortunately, they didn't want to cut her. Instead, they used the backs of the two long swords to turn her body over so that she was facing down.
As a result, Muse couldn't bear it any longer. He lay there and opened his mouth to vomit.
She didn't know how long she had been soaking in the river. Water kept spurting out from her nose and mouth, and she almost couldn't catch her breath.
With great difficulty, Muse spat out most of the water in her stomach. Only then did she feel a little better. However, when she woke up, she felt that her hands and feet were cold. Not for any other reason, but because she had clearly seen her situation!
The wolf riders around him were coldly glaring at him. Those wolf riders with sharp mouths and sharp fangs all had green glints in their eyes. Some of them were even holding long swords with the tip of their swords pointed at him. There were also a few who were mumbling something unintelligible.
Muse's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She felt that she was going to die. From the looks of it, she had been captured by these wolf riders. After staying at the front line for so many days, Muse had long understood that if she fell into the hands of these beastmen and became a captive, how could she survive?
What was waiting for her? Being killed wasn't the most miserable outcome. The most miserable thing was that these beastmen ate humans! Her flesh and skin would probably become a delicacy in the mouths of these beastmen.
When she thought of this, Muse couldn't help but shiver.
Two werewolves walked to Muse's side. They used the backs of their swords to hit Muse's body twice and shouted something.
Muse only had one thought in her mind: They want to kill me! They want to kill me!
The proud Muse tried her best to look like she would rather die than submit. However, she wasn't a true warrior after all. Although she felt despair in her heart, she still couldn't help but feel weak. She wanted to scold them passionately, but her voice was a bit hoarse.
Fortunately, Muse didn't know that falling into the hands of the wolf tribe was a blessing in disguise!
If she had fallen into the hands of other beastmen, then as Muse thought, not only would she be dead, but her flesh and skin would most likely become food for the other party. Although Luoxue had already ordered that the beastmen were not allowed to eat human flesh, Luoxue was far away on the eastern front line. On the central front line and the western front, incidents of beastmen eating humans were still happening.
Although the wolf tribe was a branch of the beastmen, fortunately, the wolf tribe was an exception among the sinners. In terms of relationship, the wolf tribe was very close to the elf tribe. As for the leader of the wolf tribe, Domines, one of the three giants, he was also very trusted by Luoxue. Therefore, many of Luoxue's orders, which other beastmen would mostly obey on the surface but disobey on the inside, were very resolutely carried out by the wolf tribe.
They couldn't kill captives at will, and they couldn't eat captives either. The wolf tribe firmly obeyed these two orders.
Several werewolves stood beside Muse. Under their sinister gazes and cold blades, Muse's heart was uneasy as she waited for her final fate.
Time ticked by. What made Muse even more worried was that these fellows didn't seem to have any intention of immediately killing her. However, Muse felt even more uneasy. This was because there were many legends about these beastmen on the front line. It was said that after they captured human captives, some beastmen didn't use their blades to kill the captives. Instead, they liked to directly throw the captives into a large pot and cook them to death!
Muse subconsciously reached for her boots. She remembered that there was still a dagger hidden in her boots. She didn't expect to rely on a dagger to kill these werewolves and escape. She wanted to kill herself!
Unfortunately, these wolves had already searched her, and Muse felt empty.
Finally, after a long while, another group of wolf riders surrounded her. It turned out that these wolf riders were the small teams that had been sent out to search along the upper and lower reaches of the river. These wolf riders had split into two groups to search upstream and downstream. They had only returned to report when they couldn't find a place to cross the river.
Muse was still uneasy when a werewolf had already shouted a few words. Immediately, other werewolves came up and forcefully lifted her up.
Although Muse's figure was considered tall among women, these werewolves were all strong and muscular. It didn't take them any effort to lift her up.
Muse was casually thrown onto the back of a giant wolf. A wolf rider seemed to be carrying a trophy of war. Then, the wolf riders called out and left like a gust of wind.
These werewolves and giant wolves were full of a fishy stench, but Muse didn't have time to think about this.
This group of werewolves quickly returned to the forest from before. They circled around and arrived at the place where their main force was stationed.
There were thousands of werewolves stationed here. The number was even more than what Longbottom's mercenaries had said! With a glance, Muse estimated that there were close to five thousand werewolves!
What she didn't know was that Longbottom's mercenary had not made a mistake. Unfortunately, that mercenary had only seen a portion of the group. There were two other groups of werewolves that were following along the main road.
In the end, they happened to see Longbottom and the others who were fleeing. Thus, Longbottom and the others were discovered so quickly.
Muse was brought into the temporary camp of the wolf riders and was thrown down in front of a bonfire. Her entire body hurt from the fall, but she suddenly heard the surrounding werewolves cheering.
She turned her head to look and saw that the wolf riders who had returned with her were holding onto the long swords in their hands … the heads of their companions who had fallen behind and were killed! There were also helmets!
Looking at the faces of her companions who had fought side by side with her, Muse's heart suddenly twitched. She could not help but cry out and vomit violently.
Suddenly, the cheers quickly subsided. Steady footsteps could be heard as a guy slowly walked in front of Muse. Muse looked up and saw a pair of muddy boots. When he looked up again, he saw a Werewolf standing in front of him. The Werewolf's green eyes were coldly staring at him.
This werewolf's entire body seemed to be exuding a unique aura. After it appeared, the surrounding wolf riders stopped their clamor. Each of them respectfully lowered their hands and looked at this fellow with reverence.
Muse glanced at the werewolf standing before her. Its fur was different from the black fur of the other werewolves. Its fur was actually brown with a hint of gold. A golden-furred wolf?
Its armor was also much more exquisite than the other werewolves'. Coupled with its burly figure that was much thicker than the other werewolves', it was filled with the dignified aura of a leader.
More importantly, this werewolf's eyes were not filled with the pure killing intent and brutality of the other orcs. Instead, there was a faint light of wisdom.
"Your name, human."
A string of cryptic words came out of the werewolf's mouth. What shocked Muse was that this werewolf could actually speak the human language!!
While she was in a daze, this werewolf was clearly impatient. "Your name, human!"
What Muse did not know was that the werewolf standing before her was one of the three major orcs, the leader of the wolf tribe, Domines!
As Luo Xue's trusted ally, Domines was the only major orc who sincerely obeyed Luo Xue. He was an anomaly among the orcs. He believed that only by borrowing the wisdom of the elves could the sinners obtain the final victory in the war of return. Therefore, under his leadership, the wolf tribe had always stood firmly on the side of the elves. This caused the other orcs to be very dissatisfied with the wolf tribe.
Because of his trust in Luo Xue, Domines also learned some human language under Luo Xue's influence.
If you wanted to fight your enemies, you had to understand them first.
Domines deeply agreed with this point. Although its human language was very stiff and it could only speak one word at a time, it was barely able to express its own meaning.
Domines looked at the somewhat dazed human prisoner of war in front of him. He could see that this fellow was a woman.
A female human prisoner of war …
The wolf tribe leader frowned. He thought for a moment and decided to kill this fellow.
Although it was Luo Xue's order not to kill prisoners of war at will. However, this time, his group had brought almost half of the wolf tribe's elites here to carry out a secret order personally given by Luo Xue!
He thought for a moment and was about to casually give the order to kill Muse when suddenly, a few figures in long black robes walked over from behind him.
These figures were slightly shorter than the werewolves. They wore long robes and cloaks that covered their heads.
The figures came to Domines' side. Domines immediately nodded politely and said a few words.
Then, the person in long robes standing at the front gently took off his cloak and revealed his true appearance.
"Human?" Muse almost blurted out. But then, she realized that she had recognized the wrong person.
Although this fellow's appearance was no different from a human's, he was extremely handsome, especially his pointed ears, which were even more prominent features.
An elf!
"Lord Domines, this prisoner of war cannot be killed." This elf's status was obviously not low. He said slowly in a gentle and pleasant voice, "I have a strange feeling … this human seems to have some of the aura of our elf tribe."
"What?" Domines was somewhat surprised.
"I'm sorry, I can't explain the source of this feeling. I'm also very surprised. But this aura is unmistakable, "the elf said slowly. The elf said slowly, "It's not just me. The few clansmen behind me can also feel this aura."
"Could it be … she's an elf? But she's clearly a human. "
The elf's expression was somewhat serious. "Perhaps, she has the bloodline of our elves … It's really strange. Could it be that after ten thousand years, the elves still have remnants of their bloodline in the human world …"
After pausing for a moment, he said slowly, "So, this prisoner of war cannot be killed easily. If she's really a mixed-blood elf, then I must bring her back and let the Elf King personally make the decision. "
"Alright." Domines respected the elf's opinion. "But it's not suitable for our mission to bring her along …"
"She's only a human." The elf smiled. "Also, it seems that she's not very strong. She's just a weak fellow. If we bring her along, it shouldn't cause too much trouble. "
Domines thought for a moment and nodded. "I respect your opinion. Let's do as you wish."
•
Muse didn't understand a single word of their conversation, but she finally understood that the other party had no intention of killing her. In fact, they seemed to be treating her much better.
This group of wolf riders quickly set off again, but this time, she wasn't tied up and thrown on the back of a wolf rider. Instead, she was with the elves.
The elves sat in a strange-looking carriage, and a few giant wolves pulled the carriage.
The other party didn't tie Muse up, and she was casually arranged to sit in a corner of the carriage. The elves didn't seem to care too much about her existence.
Muse didn't try to resist. She wasn't a fool. She could feel that the strength of these elves wasn't something she could contend against.
Moreover, she was still single and didn't even have a horse. Was it possible to escape alive from a group of thousands of wolf riders?
What puzzled Muse even more was that such an army …
A total of five thousand elite wolf riders, plus at least six hundred elven warriors!
Yet, such a troop was actually heading west!
After traveling for about six days, these elves didn't make things difficult for Muse. Muse could even get out of the carriage to stretch her body when she was resting. Moreover, judging from the sun, she could clearly tell that her team was heading west!
On the night of the sixth day, this team arrived at the foot of the mountain …
In front of her was a continuous mountain range. From afar, it seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. The outline of the majestic mountain range under the setting sun …
Muse immediately recognized that this was the Kilimanjaro Mountain Range!
"Enter the mountain." Domines quickly ordered.
This team quietly entered the mountain range …
