GOR Chapter 632 Cattle and Sheep Seen When Grass Is Blown By The Wind
On the third day after entering the mountains, Muse could vaguely make out some clues – this group seems to be attempting to cross the Kilimanjaro Mountains!
This discovery made Muse extremely shocked!
The Kilimanjaro Mountains is a natural barrier that stretches from the North to the South. It stretches from the Northwest to the Southwest and stretches for thousands of kilometres. The endless mountain range was like a giant snake crawling on the continent. The only gap was the "Northwest Corridor" in the Desa Province in the northwest.
Other than that, the other places were all majestic mountains that towered into the clouds … Some of the mountain ranges were continuous and winding, and one couldn't see the end of them with a single glance. Some of them were solitary peaks that looked like clouds, and made people sigh in admiration.
If one wanted to climb over such a mountain range, there would be countless cliffs, steep mountain paths, and natural ravines along the way. There would also be lone peaks, naturally dangerous places!
It is said that within the Kilimanjaro Mountains, even the lowest peak is at least three thousand metres high!
— — —
After the team entered the mountain, they first walked up the mountain path for the past three days. After a day, the path became steeper, and the further they went, the narrower it became.
However, although the mountain path is difficult to traverse, these wolf riders are naturally very agile. Even in such a rugged place, if they were human riders, they would have been unable to advance. However, the Wolf Knight is still able to control the giant wolves to move and leap, nimbly advancing on the mountain path.
Even the six hundred elves gave up on the carriage and moved on foot. The elves are originally slender and their movements are as light as the wind. Naturally, they have no problems.
The only one who suffered was Muse. Along the way, after two days of hiking, her feet have already developed blisters. After the blisters burst, every step she took was accompanied by a burning pain. Muse did not want to lose face in front of these enemies and could only grit her teeth and endure.
The large group of Wolf Riders trudged through the mountains with great difficulty. When night fell, they would light a fire and burn the rations and meat that the Wolf Riders had brought with them. The Spirit Race didn't eat the meat, but they had brought some rations with them. On the other hand, Muse was even more distressed — in this team, it seemed that all the wolf riders were male werewolves, and the elves did not seem to differentiate between men and women. There was only one woman, Muse.
She had not bathed for ten days. When she was traveling with Longbottom and the others, she had not bathed for four days. After being captured, she had not bathed for so many days. At this moment, she felt unbearably itchy all over her body. Muse was originally a girl. Although she had suffered a lot after entering the military camp, she was still a girl. However, not bathing for more than ten days was still somewhat unbearable.
On the fourth day of their journey, the wolf riders began to consciously conserve their food.
After all, it was a team of five thousand wolf riders. Before entering the mountains, they had brought a lot of food with them. However, after entering the mountains, those food carts could only be left outside the mountains. The wolf riders had only brought a few days' worth of rations and meat jerky for their mounts.
Obviously, the rations that they carried with them were not enough to last them until they crossed the mountain range. Based on their estimations, even if they were lucky, it would take them at least twenty to thirty days to cross the mountain range and cross the shortest mountain path. If they got lost in the mountains, it would be normal for them to not be able to get out for two to three months.
Fortunately, these beastmen and werewolves were born with natural talents. They would not get lost in this kind of mountain forest. After walking for a few days, it seemed that this kind of wilderness had stimulated the innate wildness in their blood.
Later on, these werewolves could easily find water sources and the most convenient mountain paths in this mountain forest without needing to identify carefully.
There were even wolf riders who patrolled the area during their rest periods. Very quickly, they would bring back some wild beasts that they had hunted to replenish their food reserves.
On the seventh day, Muse's leather boots were already worn out. She could only quietly pull out a piece of cloth from her clothes and wrap it around her feet. Then, she continued to walk with difficulty in her worn out boots.
The narrow mountain path led to a mountain peak in the distance. Due to the narrowness of the mountain path, the large team was compressed into a long snake formation. The path could only allow two wolf riders to walk side by side. The team was stretched out to an elongated length.
Muse staggered as she walked. Beside her was a sheer cliff. Looking down, she saw that the mountain path and the mountain path below were all her werewolves.
After crossing over this tall mountain peak, the team finally arrived above the "snow line"!
Starting from here, they continued to move forward. Above each mountain peak, pure white snow covered the sky. The air suddenly became cold, and above the peak of Snow Bee, the oxygen was even thinner. Muse's body was already somewhat unable to support itself. At this moment, she felt as if a stone was pressing down on her chest. Even though she tried her best to take deep breaths, she still felt breathless.
The thick layer of snow and ice under their feet brought great difficulty to the team.
Muse's boots were already worn out. After walking for less than half a day, her boots were filled with a lot of snow and ice. First, they were stimulated by her body temperature. After melting, they froze again. She almost froze her feet off.
Fortunately, the elves seemed to treat Muse very kindly along the way. Some of the elves saw that Muse was walking in a strange manner and came up to help her sit down. After taking off her boots, they saw that the blisters on Muse's feet had already been smoothed out. Her originally tender skin was frozen red. Just as the elf's hand touched her ankle, Muse almost cried out in pain.
"You're frostbitten. Fortunately, I discovered it. Otherwise, your feet would have been frozen after walking for half a day."
Then, the elf took out a pair of boots from the bag on his back and handed it to Muse. The shape of these boots was very strange. The toes of the boots were raised high, and there was a leaf inlaid on the ankle. What was even stranger was that these boots did not feel like animal skin in her hand, but …
"This is made from the skin of a kind of tree vine." The elf's expression was very gentle as he smiled. "We elves are a natural race. Naturally, we won't kill for skin. Our race cultivates a special kind of tree vine. Every summer, the tree vine will automatically shed its skin and shed the outer layer of bark. This kind of bark is strong and elastic, not inferior to animal skin. "
Muse noticed that the other party used the term "we elves". This wording was a little strange. It was as if he included her.
However, this elf spoke the language of the human empire very fluently, and his attitude was very gentle, making Muse feel closer to him.
"Change into these boots. When you walk in them, your feet won't be cold."
Muse was a little confused. She changed the boots, and indeed, they felt dry and warm. Her feet, which were originally frozen, quickly felt warm.
"These boots are waterproof. In summer, we will also use this kind of tree vine skin to make clothes. When you jump into the lake, your body won't get wet. "The amiable elf glanced at Muse's clothes again.
Muse was still wearing the mercenary uniform, but walking on the mountain road a few days ago, many parts of it were scratched by branches and looked a little ragged. So, the elf took out a cloak and personally put it on Muse. He said softly, "This is a magic cloak. Wear it and you won't be afraid of the cold."
Muse allowed the other party to put the cloak on her. She felt a natural heat emitted from the cloak, and her body gradually warmed up.
She didn't know what to feel, but she stared blankly at the elf in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. Although the two sides are not friends, but along the way, these elves have been very good to her. At this moment, they gave her boots and clothes. Their words were gentle, and they didn't treat her as a prisoner of war. Instead, they treated her as one of their own.
"You … … Why are you so good to me?" Muse shook her head hard.
"Because … … We are the same." The elf smiled, stood up, and walked forward with the group.
Muse stared blankly and couldn't help but murmur: "The same … …"
Originally, the identity of the three Lister sisters was a mixed-blood elf. Mrs. Lister only told Angel about it, but Muse didn't know.
But at this moment, these elves were talking to her so warmly that she couldn't help but feel a natural sense of closeness.
— — —
With the magical boots and magic cloak, Muse finally didn't have to suffer the cold anymore. It's just that the mountain road was physically exhausting, and Muse felt tired.
Especially in the mountains, it was hard to breathe. After walking for a while, the feeling of dizziness almost made her fall off the cliff several times. Fortunately, the elf beside her pulled her back.
By the tenth day, although they tried to be frugal, the food was finally gone.
The wolf riders scattered in all directions to search for food. Fortunately, there are still a lot of blue sheep, snow chickens, and snow foxes living in this snowy mountain.
But in this area, where there are few people, these animals are not afraid of people and don't know how to run away. But the wolf riders moved fast and fast, hunting everywhere.
And the six hundred elves also made a great contribution.
They carried with them a plant species unique to the elves. The elves sprinkled these plants in the snow and then cast their magic. Then in the snow, the seeds immediately grew and sprouted. Soon, one could see the green plants in the snow suddenly rise up!
These plants were like several vines intertwined together and soon formed a thick trunk. The tallest one was more than ten meters tall!
Branches and leaves grew out in the time it took to eat a meal. The smallest leaf was the size of a washbasin, and the largest was the size of a table.
Then, after the six hundred elves collectively chanted a spell, a purple light shrouded this small patch of magic plants. Soon, on the tree trunk, fruits grew out one by one. In an instant, dozens of trees were full of fruits!
Those fruits were the size of pumpkins. Seeing this dazzling array of fruits, the wolves and elves cheered.
Soon, an elf picked a fruit and handed it to Muse. He took out a dagger and gently cut it open, only to see that the flesh inside was golden yellow. Muse took a small bite, and immediately her mouth was filled with a sweet fragrance. The flesh was delicate and plump, and after three to five bites, she was full.
The other wolves also happily picked all the fruits on the trees and shared them.
After all the fruits were plucked, the trees quickly withered. The green leaves quickly turned yellow and shrank. Finally, they turned back into seeds in the snow. However, these used seeds looked withered and yellow.
"Don't worry, it's not dead." The elf collected the seeds one by one. "It's just that we have to find a suitable water source and soak these seeds in water for a few days. After a year, they will regain their vitality."
The elves brought a full bag of these magic plant seeds.
Relying on this and the occasional hunting of wild beasts, the group lasted for a full six days.
On the sixteenth day in the mountains, the food was finally exhausted. Even the magic seeds that the elves brought that could produce fruits were all used up.
However, this mountain had finally been overturned!
On the seventeenth day, the mountain path in front of them went all the way down. Gradually, they crossed the snow line, and the surrounding scenery was no longer pure white. Some sparse plants and forests began to appear around them. Occasionally, they could see small patches of blue sheep living here.
Seeing prey, the wolves cheered and sent out several teams of wolf riders to hunt. In one day, they caught hundreds of blue sheep, as well as a number of grouse, mountain deer, and the like.
On this trip, although Muse was silent most of the time, she secretly calculated in her heart. She remembered that along the way, they had passed through a total of two mountain peaks and four snow mountains. Their direction was also all the way to the west.
As the terrain got lower and lower, the climate gradually warmed up. The cold wind on the mountain was no longer there, and the air was faintly moist and warm. On the nineteenth day, a heavy rain suddenly came. The group rested in a mountain cave for a day, and the wolf tribe sent out a team of wolf riders to explore the mountain cave.
When it was almost dawn, Muse could hear the wolves suddenly cheering. Thousands of wolves were howling with excitement and excitement. One by one, the werewolves howled towards the sky while raising their long blades. Their mournful cries startled the birds in the surrounding woods and caused them to fly away.
Muse was a little scared, but the elf next to her smiled warmly. "En, don't be afraid. That's because we finally got out of the mountain. These guys are so happy that they are shouting like that. "
"Out, out of the mountain …" Muse frowned.
Sure enough, after dawn, Muse saw the team of wolf riders returning from their exploration. These wolf riders did not return empty-handed, they also brought back some "prey".
More than twenty cows and sheep, four horses … and three humans!
Humans!!
— — —
The humans that were brought back by the team of wolf riders were three males. From the looks of it, one of them had just reached adulthood.
These three captives were wearing sheepskin robes and coarse leather boots. When they walked, they limped strangely, but there was also a bow-legged appearance that could only be formed after many years of riding. On their heads were dirty sheepskin hats, the wool had all fallen off, and there were also a few pieces of pudding.
Having stayed in the Desa Province for so many years, Muse had come in contact with many caravans. With a glance, she could tell that these three captives were dressed like herdsmen of the grasslands!
Herdsmen? Herdsmen of the grasslands?
Muse's eyes turned gloomy.
The leather robes of these three herdsmen had been cut in many places, and all three of them had some scars. After being captured by the wolf riders, the youngest of the three showed some fear and trepidation on his face. As for the two older herdsmen, there was only a slight surprise in their eyes, but there was not much fear. Instead, there was a natural sense of sturdiness in their eyes!
After living in the grasslands for so long, their skin had become rough and their eyes were cold. Being held by the swords of the wolf riders, the herdsmen stared at the surrounding werewolves, their faces filled with hatred!
Muse stood outside and did not say anything. Several elves walked over and chatted with the werewolves for a while. When they returned, Muse was informed that these herdsmen were encountered by the wolf riders who had gone out to explore.
Nearby, there was a family of about seventeen to eighteen herdsmen. When they encountered the wolf riders, there were about 200 of them. In the end, the wolf riders exterminated the entire family of herdsmen! Among the seventeen to eighteen herdsmen, there were the elderly, the weak, women and children. Most of them were killed. Even though the herdsmen of the grasslands were sturdy, they rose up to resist. Additionally, according to the information brought back by the wolf riders, these sturdy herdsmen had also caused some trouble for the wolf riders – the herdsmen of the grasslands had excellent horsemanship and had grown up on horseback since young. Regardless of gender, old or young, they could all ride horses, shoot arrows and wield scimitars.
In one battle, two of the wolf riders had been injured.
There was also one more herdsmen who relied on his excellent horsemanship and fast horse to escape before being annihilated. These three captives were the ones who fought to the end and were captured alive by the wolf riders – their families had long since become corpses. The tents were burned down and the cattle and sheep were brought back.
After hearing that, Muse's heart was deeply shaken. There was only one thought left!
Grasslands! We have arrived at the grasslands! We have crossed the Kilimanjaro Mountains and arrived at the grasslands!
These five thousand wolf riders and six hundred elven warriors. They had quietly crossed the Empire's barrier and arrived at the grasslands on the side of the Empire!
The three herdsmen who were captured were interrogated by the wolf riders. Unfortunately, even though the elves had learned the human language, it was limited to the Empire's language. They could not speak the language of the people of the grasslands. Within the group, the only one who understood the language of the grasslands was Muse.
Naturally, Muse would not take the initiative to speak up. She stood quietly to the side and pondered carefully.
Originally, Muse had thought that the wolf riders would lock her up with the three grassland captives. However, she was wrong – it would appear that the reason why these fellows were giving her preferential treatment was purely because the elves were taking care of her. However, the elves did not seem to have a good impression of the three grassland captives – judging from the way the elves looked at the three grassland herdsmen, in addition to hostility, there were also traces of disgust and contempt. It was as though looking at them would dirty their eyes.
Since the three herdsmen were not interrogated, the wolf riders quickly ordered them to be killed.
Muse was helpless and could only watch as the three herdsmen were stabbed to death. Before dying, the young man shouted out in the language of the grasslands. Muse heard it clearly. What the young man shouted was, "Hey!
"The great Shaman King will punish you monsters! The great God of the Snow Mountain will take revenge for the bloodshed of the grassland disciples! "
That night, Muse did not sleep. She was thinking: These wolf riders had painstakingly crossed the mountains and narrowly escaped death to come to the grasslands. Why?
— — —
Three days later, Muse finally confirmed her guess!
Her group had really come to the grasslands!
After twenty days of trekking in the mountains, even though the wolf riders were elites, they were already exhausted. Due to the lack of food, most of the wolf riders were in a state of half-starvation in order to save food. Only a few elites maintained sufficient rations and maintained their fighting strength.
Under the orders of the wolf riders' leader, Domines, the five thousand elite wolf riders rested in this mountain cave for three whole days. At the same time, they sent out several wolf riders to search around. Within three days, the four hundred-man wolf cavalry squads had wiped out more than ten villages belonging to the herdsmen of the grassland. They had killed hundreds of herdsmen and seized a large number of cows, sheep, and horses — all of which had become food for the wolf cavalry.
After three days, the exhausted wolf riders who had been trekking for nearly a month finally recovered. The eyes of the werewolves who had recovered their energy once again shone with a fierce light. They were full of energy and began to sharpen their blades, wipe their armor, and feed the giant wolves at the same time …
Early in the morning, under the orders of the wolf riders' leader, the five thousand wolf riders set off and walked out of this mountain cave …
After a few miles out of the mountain, the terrain in front of them suddenly opened up! They saw a thousand miles of green in front of them, stretching as far as the eye could see! There was no end to the vast grassland at a glance!
In the distance, the intersection between the green grass and the blue sky seemed to be connected by a line!
It was the first time most of the werewolves had seen such a vast grassland. Apart from these small hunting teams, most of the werewolves couldn't help but howl on the backs of the giant wolves!
The wildness hidden in their blood was stimulated by this scenery of green grass and blue sky!
Wolves! They were supposed to live in this kind of heaven and earth!
This group of wolf riders became a bloody wind on the grassland!
Five thousand wolf riders and six hundred elven warriors became a stream of slaughter that traveled on the grassland for three days! In three days, everywhere they went, they burned, killed, and plundered. Any small herdsmen's villages that encountered them were all wiped out!
Although the people of the grassland were sturdy and strong, they were still small herdsmen. At most, there were three to five hundred of them. The young and strong people only made up thirty percent of the total population. When they encountered these five thousand wolf riders, they could only be bullied.
Along the way, the herdsmen's cattle and sheep became food for the wolf riders. One by one, the herdsmen's villages were burned and killed. The wolf riders almost didn't encounter any effective resistance.
Moreover, the wolf riders moved quickly. They came and went like the wind, leaving after one attack. Even when a few large tribes on the grassland received the news and knew that such a foreign enemy had appeared and were preparing to organize people to resist, the wolf riders had already gone far away!
Muse, who was following the troops, was puzzled. What were these five thousand elite Wolf Cavalry doing here?
Running behind the Empire and launching a sneak attack? But it didn't seem like it.
Although there were five thousand elite wolf riders, if they ran into the Empire, then they would only be seeking their own destruction. Moreover, this was the grassland. What did burning, killing, and plundering have to do with the Empire?
Finally, on the eighth day after entering the grassland.
The wolf riders came across a caravan!
This was a caravan from the Empire. There were about a hundred people in the caravan. Among them, there were thirty mercenaries from the Desert Fox mercenary group.
Seeing the long line of horses, hundreds of wolf riders immediately rushed forward!
Muse saw the caravan from afar. On the leading horse, there was a familiar flag!
The Golden Tulip Family Flag!
In the grassland, any caravan with the Tulip Family's flag had long become an object of reverence for the various tribes. Due to Du Wei's prestige in the Northwest, even the most powerful of the grassland, Saladin, had to look up to Du Wei. In the grassland, there was absolutely no tribe that dared to rob a caravan with the Tulip Family's flag!
But this time, when they saw the wolf cavalry charging towards them, the caravan was obviously caught off guard. They didn't even have the time to gather their horses to form a defensive formation before the wolf cavalry charged towards them and crushed them!
Seeing the Tulip Family's caravan being slaughtered by the wolf riders, Muse's face turned red. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to go up and fight, he was stopped by the elves beside him. The elves were powerful and had magic abilities. When Muse's shoulders were pressed down by two elves, he immediately lost all his strength.
He watched helplessly as the hundred people of the caravan were slaughtered. Dozens of mercenaries fought to the end. Some were hacked to death by the wolf riders, some were bitten to death by the giant wolves, until the last person died!
In the end, the few merchants in the caravan were captured and brought back. Not only could these merchants speak the Empire's language, but they also understood the prairie's language. They were prisoners specially ordered by the elves to be captured!
"They need translation." Muse's heart immediately understood.
Sure enough, when the elves interrogated these merchants, they didn't deliberately hide it from Muse and let him stand to the side.
These people were ordinary merchants. They paid a protection fee in the Tulip Family's territory to get the protection of the Tulip Family's flag and the Desert Fox mercenary group's guards. They originally thought that they could have a safe journey, but they didn't expect to encounter a group of wolf riders that suddenly fell from the sky!
The merchants were trembling in fear. They were just ordinary people, but under the piercing eyes and sharp blades of the werewolves around them, they couldn't help but blurt out everything.
Muse heard it clearly. He heard an elf ask in a cold voice:
"The road to the Snowy Mountain, how do you get there?"
When he heard this, Muse's face suddenly changed!
The Snowy Mountain!
In the Northwest, who didn't know of the prestige of the Snowy Mountain?
The people of the Snowy Mountain, the mysterious wizard … … and … …
And the Shaman King that was regarded as a god by the prairie people!
These guys, their target was the Snowy Mountain?!
— — —
Unfortunately, although these merchants could speak the prairie's language, none of them knew where the Snowy Mountain was.
The wolf riders were cruel and barbaric. They asked the first question, if he didn't know, they would directly cut him in half!
The second question, if he didn't know, they would cut him in half!
When they asked the third prisoner, he was already trembling in fear. His face was ashen and he smelled a stench. Even his pants were wet.
Muse walked out in large strides and coldly looked at the werewolves and elves.
"Are you going to the Snowy Mountain?"
The elves were stunned. Muse's face was cold: "I'm asking you, are you going to the Snowy Mountain?!"
"Yes, we are going to the Snowy Mountain." An elf walked over with a gentle face. It was the same elf who gave Muse leather boots and a magic cloak when they were on the mountain.
"Let them go!" Muse pointed at the remaining prisoners, his face resolute: "I'll take you there!"
