Kukulo, with a strong smell of alcohol on his body, led Tang En and his group of more than forty people out of Bee Village and headed east. After crossing a few small hills, they approached a mountainous area.
The barren yellow sandy ground was covered with gravel, and some shrubs stubbornly lived on this barren land. In the distant ravines, one could faintly see some forests formed by plants unique to the Ryan Empire. From time to time, the roars of magic beasts would sound even more desolate.
At this time, Kukulo pointed to an inconspicuous path in the forest and said with certainty: "At that time, they entered the mountain along this path. I have been following them and am very sure of this."
Kukulo looked back and said confidently: "Yesterday, I didn't think that you would have so many people. If I had known that there would be so many people, I wouldn't have spent all my money."
With the hope of coming back alive, Kukulo naturally regretted his extravagant behavior last night.
Tang En patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Lead the way well. If you can help me catch a few shamans, you will receive a generous reward that is hard to imagine."
Kukulo licked his lips: "Let's talk about the reward later. Right now, I only hope to borrow your hands to send those lunatics to meet the god of death."
Kukulo continued to lead the way forward. The settlement of those shamans was not very far from Bee Village. It was only an hour's journey from here. However, they were hiding in the valley. Due to the frequent appearance of magic beasts and the fact that it was relatively barren, there were usually very few beastmen coming here. Therefore, they had not been discovered.
Kao's subordinates were all elites who were very good at fighting in all kinds of environments. The forest environment did not affect their condition at all. In fact, after entering the forest, their attention was even more focused.
Anyone who had experienced fighting in the wild was very clear that in the forest where one's vision was obscured, sudden incidents were the most likely to lead to casualties.
Kukulo suddenly wrinkled his nose and said with a cautious face: "They are just ahead. I can already smell that disgusting stench on their bodies."
In fact, even without Kukulo's words, the assassins in front of them had already discovered the hiding place of the shamans.
Everyone slowed down their pace and slowly advanced about a hundred meters before stopping under the warning of the assassins.
There were some trigger traps hidden in the bushes.
These Shamans were cautious.
The assassins split up and quickly dismantled the hidden traps on the ground. Only then did they signal for everyone to continue forward.
Tang En was very satisfied with their cautious actions. His subordinates lacked such experienced and cautious people.
After advancing another fifty meters or so, everyone saw the camp hidden in the forest.
In the middle of the forest, there was an open space of over a thousand square meters. Seven to eight long wooden houses were built on the open space. It was obvious that these houses were not for individual families. It was likely that these Shamans practiced a mixed living system.
A bonfire was burning in the center of the open space. There were some grills around the bonfire, and some orcs covered in green were busy preparing lunch.
Tang En took a few more glances and confirmed one thing: the bodies on the grill were Orc corpses.
The most conspicuous thing in the open space was the few stone pillars that stood upright. The stone pillars were exquisitely carved and had very familiar drawings carved on them.
"It's the totem."
Angus said in a low voice: "The totems of the four natural forces worshipped by the Shamans."
Tang En nodded, "I can understand from the abstract picture above that from left to right is the earth, fire, water, and hurricane, but I can't understand the relationship between the totem itself and the four elemental forces."
According to the teachings of the Shamans, these four forces were the root of everything. They could control these four forces through the power of the totems, but no one could understand the relationship between the totems and the elemental forces.
Angus thought for a moment and said: "You can think of the symbolic meaning contained in the totems as a kind of encrypted spell."
"Encrypted spell? That makes sense. "
"In the primitive society, the Shamans who mastered the ability to cast spells didn't want to share this power with other Orcs. In order to make it their own power, they increased the mystery bit by bit, and finally turned it into a totem that was unrecognizable."
Angus looked at the totem and said his inference: "Maybe such a big totem pole only has one-tenth of it to do with casting spells. For example, a string of decorative drawings is the core, and the rest is to cover the real spell."
"That's possible."
"Let's find a way to catch a Shaman priest and ask."
"Get ready — wait!"
Tang En had just raised his hand when he suddenly saw the Shaman priests, whose bodies were covered in green juice and wrapped in leaves, suddenly open the door of the wooden house and shouted inside.
"F * ck!"
Tang En's eyes widened. These Shaman orcs really knew how to play!
They were actually having a naked party in the wooden house!
As soon as the door of the wooden house was opened, a strong and choking smell of hormones drifted out. Tang En and the others couldn't help but cover their noses. Then, a group of naked Orc men and women came out of the wooden house. Their bodies were painted green with tree sap, and there were obvious traces left behind.
The Orcs in the center of the camp were teasing each other, and then they lined up to tear off pieces of flesh from the roasted corpses and placed them on stone plates for lunch.
Kukulo gnashed his teeth and cursed them: "What a group of shameless primitive people! They should go to hell! "
Tang En sighed. These Shamans should have been very ordinary Orcs when they were young, but after they were caught and brainwashed by the Shamans, they had become a part of the cancer.
Were they innocent?
Maybe they were innocent at the beginning.
But after they participated in the Shaman's attack for the first time, killed their own kind for the first time, and ate their own kind for the first time, they were no longer innocent.
This kind of decadent and backward "civilization" must be purified.
Tang En raised his hand again.
"Wait!"
Angus stopped him: "There's movement."
In the center of the camp, there were already more than 20 Shamans "eating". At this time, the doors of three more wooden houses opened, and three Orcs with even more exaggerated appearances walked out. Their appearance reminded Tang En of a washing, cutting, and hairdryer combination — combining them with the steampunk style, and then adding the Wasteland Death Wind would be more or less the same.
"Spellcasters."
Angus whispered: "The magic on their bodies is very obvious."
Twain nodded imperceptibly. His gaze moved away from the three shamans and landed on the row of Orc children behind them. Those Orc children were all in a daze, as if they had suffered a great deal of mental torture.
After the Shaman priests came out, the Orc children were arranged on another table. A Shaman placed a roasted corpse in the center of the table, and the Orc children immediately burst into tears.
"Damn it!"
Vanilla saw this and clenched his fist: "They actually forced the children to eat the corpses of their own kind!?"
"Calm down."
Tang En pressed down on Vanilla and calmly said: "They didn't eat it. The Shamans just wanted to use this method to stimulate their minds and make them collapse step by step."
Just as Tang En said, the Orcs quickly brought some fruits to the Orc children. Although the Orc children were very hungry, they couldn't eat at all in front of the corpses.
At this time, one of the Shaman priests pointed at one of the Orc children, and two followers immediately grabbed the child.
"Oh my god!"
Kukulo suppressed his voice and exclaimed: "That's Boss Dacre's child, Dorny! What are they doing!? "
Dacre was the boss of the Roaring Tavern in the Bisun Wilderness. Everyone knew that his child was kidnapped by the Shamans in the attack half a month ago.
One of the cultists who held d'Orni down cut off a piece of meat from the burnt corpse, and offered it to d'Orni to eat.
Dorny was very resistant and clenched his teeth, refusing to eat. Then, the follower forced his mouth open and stuffed it in.
Then, the Shaman priest said one sentence with a ferocious expression.
Tang En heard it clearly: "Eat it or die."
Dorny cried and spat out the meat in his mouth.
Afterwards, the shaman waved his hand with a regretful expression and said another sentence.
"This is the sixteenth one. Execute him."
The follower holding Dorny down pulled out the dagger at his waist and viciously slashed at Dorny's neck!
"Boom!"
The heads of the two followers beside Dorny suddenly exploded into pieces.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it. They reminded me of some guys in my hometown."
Tang En retracted his hand: "Do it. Other than the three Shaman priests and the kidnapped children, don't leave anyone alive."
As soon as she finished her sentence, Vanilla, who couldn't take it anymore, dashed out instantly. Mongol Kahn was even faster than her. He retrieved a strange-looking dagger and tossed it forward. Shortly after, he appeared in the middle of the empty space instantly.
"There are so many heads to be chopped off and so many corpses to be piled up!"
Mongol Kahn laughed wildly and raised his battle axe: "The Axe King is here!"
The Shamans who were eating reacted very quickly. They almost instantly took out the weapons next to them and charged at Mongol Kahn!
Mongol Kahn smirked and waved his battle axe. The battle axe, which was infused with Blood Qi, set off a terrifying blade aura. The Shamans who charged at him were immediately covered in wounds.
Battle skill — Axe Blade Hurricane!
But to everyone's surprise, along with the whispers of the three Shaman priests on the platform, a drizzle suddenly fell from the sky. Then, the wounds on the Shaman believers rapidly healed!
Tang En couldn't help but curse: "F * ck! Healing Rain? "
The next moment, a cold light flashed and Ursa, who had entered an enraged state, appeared beside Mongol Kahn with a strong murderous intent. He stomped heavily with his right foot, and Blood Qi suddenly exploded!
Battle skill — Earth Shaking!
Ursa raised his head and stared at the Shamans who were in a sluggish state with his scarlet eyes. He bared his ferocious teeth: "Die!"
