In the east, there was a big orc city called Yellow Sand City. It was once a big city of the Gotham Empire, but after it fell, it was taken over by the orc king Will Kai. Although there was no fertile land or large forests, this city had the best mineral resources in the world.
More than half of the orc soldiers' exquisite equipment were produced here. In addition to the Gotham Empire's unique defensive facilities, this city was difficult to take down. It was even called the city where the orcs never fell. Humans had sent troops to attack this city countless times, and it happened during the orcs' internal strife. There were not many soldiers to defend this city, but even so, the human army was still unable to take down this city.
The demon general guarding the city was the orc king Will Kai's confidant, a terrifying orc named Gan Xie. When talking about this orc, Ze Ba couldn't help but tremble a few times. This Gan Xie's brutality was not inferior to the orc king. It was extremely cruel to prisoners of war. Even to its own kind, it would not show mercy. For some unknown reason, it was always targeting Ze Ba.
"Rebellion? Which clan is so bold? "
The black orc sitting high on the wolf chair slowly opened its eyes. The chair behind it was very scary. It was made of countless bones and skeletons. This strong black orc was the terrifying demon general Gan Xie. Its body was bigger than the average orc, and it could even make four female orcs lie on its legs in different positions.
At this time, the orc soldier kneeling in front of it gulped and said, "Reporting, reporting to my lord, there is more than one clan that has rebelled. Currently, there are three known: the Howling Mountain Clan, the Bone Bear Clan, and the Black Wolf Clan. They have joined forces and have already taken over many villages and gathered into an army."
Hearing this, the orc Gan Xie stopped what it was doing. It frowned slightly, feeling that something was not right. Although the orcs had always been unstable internally, under the strict rules of the Orc King, there were many restless clans that couldn't bear the burden. But so far, all the rebellions had been suppressed one by one, and the clans that dared to rebel were severely punished. So recently, no one dared to rebel for a long time.
But what was going on this time? These three clans had always been stable, so why did they suddenly rebel?
Gan Xie felt that this was very abnormal. This matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Because the food of the beastmen was strictly controlled, ordinary clans had to hand over all their food and let the demon generals in their territory distribute it. If they dared to hide food, the entire clan would severely punish them, and then the survivors would be separated and distributed to other clans.
This cut off the conditions they needed to resist: food. Even if they did not send troops to suppress them, they would obediently surrender after cutting off their food supply for a few days.
Moreover, Gan Xie remembered that there was nothing unusual about the amount of food that the three clans handed in. It was impossible for them to hide food in front of his eyes. Then where did the food that the rebel clans needed to gather their army come from?
Could it be that there were other forces involved? It was possible that when the Beastman King sent troops to attack the humans, there were other forces that wanted to take advantage of the situation. This did not exclude the possibility that it was done by their own people.
"I just want to know who has the guts to go against the Beast King!"
The beastman soldier lowered his head and said, "According to, according to the report of the spies, the leader seems to be … … the demon general Ze Ba."
Hearing this, Gan Xie's eyes widened and his mouth cracked open, revealing his terrifying fangs. He stood up and burst out with a terrifying wind pressure. The female beastman on his body flew out instantly.
"Ze Ba! No wonder! This guy can get so much food, I have long suspected him. He really has other intentions! But it's just right! I have long wanted to tear this guy to pieces! You! "
He roared loudly.
"Yes!"
"Pass down my order, do not inform the other demon generals about this matter. Ze Ba will be dealt with by me!"
"Yes!"
… …
At this time, Ze Ba, who was riding a giant wolf and wearing an iron helmet on his head, had a helpless look on his face as he led the army and advanced towards Yellow Sand City. He sighed. He never thought that Buklo would actually hand over the army to him. And what was beyond his expectations was that none of his subordinates had left. They were all waiting for him outside the canyon.
He sighed again. He clearly just wanted to farm properly. Why did the heavens have to stop him everywhere?
The long-toothed beastman riding behind him asked, "What's wrong, Lord Ze Ba? You don't look well. "
The beastman who spoke was called Blue. His appearance was considered strange among the beastmen, but his strength was extraordinary. His weapon was an exaggerated stone hammer, but his brain was not very good.
"I'm fine."
Ze Ba shook his head. He originally thought that the three clans would not rebel so easily. In the end, when the clan leaders saw Buklo's letter, they did not even think about it and rebelled. Now, he was leading an army of fifty to sixty thousand. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
He did not think that this temporary army of fifty to sixty thousand could take down Yellow Sand City. It was different from the small tribes that they had taken down before. The tall city walls could defend against most attacks. Monsters, werewolves, half-beastmen, four-armed giants, and other terrifying monsters could instantly scatter his army. And if they really fought, he would have to face Gan Xie! There was no suspense at all. He would definitely be torn to pieces by Gan Xie.
Moreover, Ze Bar only had outdated siege equipment, and the soldiers' equipment was not complete. Some of them only had a stone spear, and such an army would not be able to take down the city. Did the boss not even know about this?
No, he definitely knew.
Could it be! He wanted to send himself to death? To be a bait?
Ze Ba's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down his spine.
No way …
At this moment, the Demon King, Richard, was leading an army into the beastmen's territory. They did not encounter much resistance. They were like a hot knife through butter as they conquered several beastmen tribes.
Suddenly, the Demon King, who was riding a horse, stopped. Different from the others, the Demon King was wearing black armor. The red cloak behind him fluttered in the wind. He looked very majestic.
"What's wrong!? Lord Demon King? "
A strong centaur came forward and said. He carried a bow on his back and held a spear in his hand. He was wearing human armor and horse armor. He was the son of the centaur patriarch, Lie Arc.
At this moment, a yawning woman rode a horse to the side of the Demon King. Her skin was very white. Although she was very beautiful, she gave people a feeling that she was not human.
The Demon King pointed ahead. It was a yellow land. Although there were green trees, they did not grow well.
"Do you see anything?"
Hearing this, Lie Arc looked over anxiously. In his eyes, there was a desolate area in front of him. There were no tall mountains in the area. Although there was a water source, perhaps the soil was not good. There was a large area where plants did not grow, or perhaps it was polluted. In general, this was not a suitable place to build a city.
"The view ahead is wide. There should be no ambush."
It replied.
"Oh, the magic power is a bit strange. According to what you said, natural magic power should be disorderly but should maintain a certain degree of uniformity. However, the front is clearly a bit thin. Could it be a magic trap?" The Mother Empress bit her right thumb and analyzed as she looked ahead.
Lie Arc blinked and looked ahead, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
The Demon King's lips curled up. "Not bad. You looked very carefully. However, there are no traps in front."
"Then what?"
"Slime."
The Demon King replied.
Hearing this, the Mother Empress and Lie Arc were stunned.
"Slime?"
The Mother Empress was puzzled. She had heard of these creatures before. They were low-level creatures, but they were extremely tenacious. It was a strange species. She did not know what they tasted like.
"Where are they? Why don't I see them? "
She suddenly asked. For some reason, anyone who knew her a little would understand what she wanted to do.
"Probably underground. Slimes spend most of their time hiding underground."
"Then I'll go dig them out!"
The Mother Empress said.
"Uh … Lord Demon King, forgive this one for being rude. Should we continue forward? This one believes that we should not stop because of these lowly Slime. The soldiers should think the same. "
Lie Arc said.
Turning around, they could see the orderly soldiers looking at them.
The Demon King shook his head. "No, you made a mistake. This is likely to put you in a difficult situation."
Hearing this, Lie Arc's forehead was covered in sweat. He hurriedly knelt down.
"I am very sorry, Lord Demon King. This subordinate should not have told Lord Demon King what to do."
"That's not the reason. Your mistake was that you should not have looked down on Slime."
The Demon King looked at him. Lie Arc's ears perked up as he raised his head in confusion.
"Slime is not scary, but a group of them is not necessarily so. If they corrode the ground, we might sink into the sand when we pass by. You should know that Slime's stomach acid can corrode most substances. They can easily corrode our weapons and armor, or even the wheels of carriages. You should be able to imagine the consequences. "
After Lie Arc stopped, his heart trembled. He did not think that Slime would be so terrifying. After all, he had never heard of a low-level demon like Slime being a threat.
"Then it can't be eaten?"
The Mother Empress frowned.
"It can't, but it can be used as an alchemy material. It can dissolve many ores and is very useful as a separating agent. It can be stored well in a jar."
"Then do we need to take a detour?"
Lie Arc asked.
This was the safest method, but it would take some time.
The Demon King thought for a moment, then said, "No, don't we still have a lot of jars to hold water?"
Hearing this, Lie Arc turned around and asked the people in charge of logistics.
"Yes, Lord Demon King. We still have a lot of empty jars. Could it be that you …?"
"That's right. These Slime might come in handy."
The Demon King's lips curved, as if he had thought of something interesting.
… …
The Divine Tree, worms, insect repellent, and three hours.
Reina firmly remembered the Little Forest people's plan in her mind.
At this time, she was wearing leather armor and a fruit shell helmet made by the Little Forest people. There were a few red leaves on it, and a few round wooden pots hung at her waist. She looked like a female forest warrior.
"Remember, there is more than one type of worm, but you have to be careful of the ones with red hair on their faces!"
Before Reina set out, Song Lin specially warned her.
As for what kind of worm it was, it could not say.
Carrying doubts and unease, she entered the Divine Tree through a small hole.
When she first entered, it was pitch-black inside. She could not see anything, only the light from the entrance.
Reina ate the Little Forest people's medicine, and the surroundings quickly lit up.
"Be careful, little princess. The tunnels here are very complicated."
Mr. Ball, who was carrying a stick of incense, was in front. This was also made by the Little Forest people. Before the incense burned out, Reina had to come out. Otherwise, the effects of the medicine would end, and she would be in danger.
Reina wiped the sweat from her forehead. It was a little stuffy here. She followed behind Mr. Ball and continued along the tunnels.
It was completely different from what the Little Forest people said. This place was very narrow and claustrophobic. It was very easy to feel fear. Reina should have thought of this.
She bent down almost the entire time. Perhaps it was the effect of the potion that she wore in front of her. After walking for more than ten minutes, she still did not see the insects that Xiao Sen had mentioned. However, she could hear a soft sound coming from somewhere around her. It sounded like the rustling sound of some kind of creature crawling.
She did not stay for long. Time was tight. She quickened her pace and reached the first fork in the road. This was also the same as what Song Lin said.
"It's the right side, right?"
Reina bent down and held the wooden staff with both hands. Her eyes were looking at the two black holes in front of her.
"Yes, little princess."
Mr. Ball said.
"Then let's go."
Reina said.
Mr. Ball stepped into the hole on the right without hesitation. Suddenly, it disappeared in front of Reina's eyes with a cry.
"Mr. Ball! Ah!!! "
As soon as Reina went up, she felt her right foot step on air and she fell down. Fortunately, this was not a vertical hole, but a tunnel like a slide. She and Mr. Ball rolled down just like that.
"Ah!!"
Bang!
With a loud noise, Reina finally stopped.
"Little princess, are you okay?"
Mr. Ball's voice came. Reina opened her eyes and found that it was pitch black in front of her. The night vision medicine had worn off. But it was okay. The Little Forest people gave her a lot of this medicine. She only drank a mouthful just now. It was sweet. Reina liked it.
"I'm fine, but I can't see anything. Huh? Where's my medicine? "
Reina touched her waist and found that two round wooden pots were missing.
"Ugh! This is bad! "
"What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere? "
Mr. Ball asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, but I lost some medicine!"
Reina touched the ground and found her wooden staff. She then cast Illumination. A ball of light floated in front of the wooden staff.
The surroundings were illuminated. Reina found that she was in a dilapidated place. The ground was uneven. Looking carefully, there were some holes. The depth of the holes was different. Some were very shallow, some were very deep. The surrounding walls were also full of holes. There were many holes of different sizes. They were densely packed and looked terrifying.
Reina first checked the wooden incense on Mr. Ball's back. Fortunately, it was not extinguished. Reina blew on it a few times to make sure it would not go out.
"Oh no, I really can't find it. I don't know if it fell up or down."
"Don't worry, little princess. Let's find the way first."
Mr. Ball said.
However, it was easier said than done. One person and one ball came to the place where they fell. When they looked up, they found that there were holes all over. They could not be sure which hole they fell from.
They chose the highest hole, but when they climbed up to take a look, there was a big fat worm with a big red jaw. It was not afraid of the insect repellent. When it noticed Reina, it suddenly turned its head and looked at Reina with its two black eyes.
"Ah! Big worm! "
Lena was startled, and her hand slipped, causing her to fall down again.
