Journey to the Half-Elf Plane

"Littlefinger, is there anything left to eat? Give me some more."

There were three people sitting on the small ferry, and the one speaking was Ruby, the cat orc who rescued Loki.

The other slave in the boat was a half-elf Niadfeng who had just grown up. As for the reason why he became a slave, according to his story, he was caught in the Oud Empire and sold to a slave merchant.

Loki shook his head and said: "There is no food at all. We can only think of a solution when we dock."

He touched his arms and found that apart from the tightly tied sidearm, the old dwarf token and a Thieves Guild badge, the only thing left was the Basic Tracking Technique captured in an oil paper package. As for food and other things, he only had it during his final escape. Had to give it up.

The current of the Cooper River is very fast, and it will be difficult for them to reach the shore for a while. There are two small ferries not far away from the water, but they are far away and they are unable to get ashore.

Loki endured the pain caused by the hunger in his belly. He opened the notebook on basic tracking skills obtained from the dead thief to divert his attention.

It actually didn't take him a while to flip through the pages of the original notebook.

The images collected by the optic nerve are converted into digital information, and the contents of the booklet have been deeply imprinted in the memory storage.

After reading through it, he put the tracking notebook back into his arms as a souvenir. The half-elf boy leaned against the boat, and after a while he fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

From nightfall to early morning, the quantum biocomputer had precise time. They had been floating for seventeen hours and three minutes, but the ferry was still unable to dock.

Loki was also a little anxious, as he had deviated too far from the original route.

He even wanted to swim directly to the opposite bank, but this section of the river was more than a hundred meters wide, not to mention a group of hungry and exhausted slaves. Jumping into this river with countless undercurrents would be like committing suicide.

It was not until the afternoon that the water flow finally slowed down. Everyone tried their best to paddle the water with their hands and paddle with their clothes. Finally, three small ferries docked on the northern bank of the river.

Counting Loki, there were only eight of these slaves left, and almost all of them were in a depressed state of mind, not only because of hunger, but also because they were all more or less injured.

But the main thing that troubled these people was hunger, and they asked each other who had food.

All they got were disappointing answers, and one of the grumpy orcs couldn't help but curse.

Except for the cat orc Ruby and the half-elf Dufeng who had talked with Loki before.

There are still six people left in the escape team, including two acquaintances, Warren and Moore, mountain slaves. It is said that they were hunters and were good at bows and arrows. However, these weapons, which are inconvenient to carry, were lost early in the escape.

Among them was a muscular female human slave named Aina who was familiar to Loki. Another male slave who was also a human was Komu. Like Aina, she was a borderlander of the Oud Empire and was transformed into a slave after being robbed. slave.

"This damn ghost place. There isn't even a fish in the river. It's worse than Orc Ridge. If we don't eat, we will starve to death sooner or later..."

This half-orc's name is Panya, and it is said that he was once a master in the gladiatorial arena. Although he has not reached the stage of using the power of blood, the half-orc's savage strength is not inferior to that of professionals, and he can even fight against some professionals without falling behind. This time they were supposed to be transferred to a gladiatorial arena in a federal main city in the south, but unexpectedly they all escaped.

On the bank of the Cooper River is a very dense jungle. The lush green is like a thick wall blocking everyone, and some weird beasts and birds can be heard from inside.

In order to replenish food, everyone finally planned to enter this jungle like a green ocean.

“半

Little elf, if you can't find anything to eat anymore, I will eat you. "

While splitting the thorny plants, the half-orcs threatened the thinnest half-elf boy. The orcs did have a history of eating other races.

Loki chopped a section of tree vine with the dog-leg knife in his hand, and said coldly: "Try it, I will split your belly first to see if your brain has grown into your intestines."

Panya was immediately furious when he heard this. He cursed and wanted to raise the guard sword he had snatched from his hand. He wanted to go up and show off to the half-elf boy with a ferocious expression.

The adult half-elf Nifeng hurriedly stopped him, calmly turned around and said to his fellow tribesmen: "Stupid boy, if you haven't apologized yet, how dare you anger Mr. Panya."

"That's enough." The cat-orc Ruby shouted, then grabbed a strange withered vine and said, "We seem to be in the wrong place, damn, this seems to be the Forest of Secret Whispers."

Mountain man Warren was a little strange and said: "The Forest of Secret Whispers, what the hell is that place? Why don't we know about it?"

When no one responded, Loki, who had been standing still, suddenly raised the short-arm crossbow with the string attached.

The crossbow string rang softly, and he fired a crossbow arrow in the direction of the orc.

The orc had no time to block it with his dagger, but then discovered that the crossbow arrow did not hit him, but strayed to a certain position above his head.

Everyone looked in the direction of the crossbow arrow and saw a brown-green scorpion as big as the palm of their hand, which was firmly nailed to the top of the tree trunk by the crossbow arrow, not far from the orc's head.

Just looking at the brown-green appearance of this giant scorpion, it is obvious that it is highly venomous.

The orc's newly angry face was a little distorted, and it was turning red and white in surprise.

The cat-orc Ruby stepped forward and pulled out the scorpion nailed to the tree trunk, with a look of surprise on her face.

"Tree scorpion, this is a kind of tree scorpion, but I have never seen one of this color and size."

"Damn it, this is the Forest of Secret Whispers. I heard that all the insect beasts here are twisted and weird, and even some weaker monsters don't dare to stay in it."

Forest of Secret Words?Almost all of these people have never heard of it and will not understand the horror described by the cat beasts, but everyone understands the horror of a beast with strange elemental power like Warcraft.

The male human slave Kom smiled disdainfully, walked closer and grabbed the giant scorpion and said: "Don't be alarmist, what do you, an orc, know about the jungle? I have lived in the jungle since I was a child, and I understand the habits of Warcraft. There is nothing so scary in the jungle."

Kom took out a small knife, peeled off the venom glands, mouthparts and other parts of the scorpion, and said, "What's more, this secret forest and such a fat scorpion can just add some food, right?"

Ruby, the cat-orc, said with an angry look on her face, "You idiot humans, I grew up in the forest near the West Wall Mountains. I know the legend of the forest here better than you do."

"This is a forbidden area for our family. Legend has it that evil witches once haunted this jungle. It was full of weird creatures. Most people who entered would not come out alive."

Kom said disdainfully: "What do you orcs know? A group of barbarians living in the wilderness who only know how to destroy. If it weren't for you, I might not have been arrested by the Alliance City Lord and his gang."

"It's better to divide this scorpion first, I'm going to starve to death."

After saying that, Kom used a knife to pry open the back shell of the scorpion, dug out a piece of white meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing everyone crowding around him, his face felt painful, so he could only divide the palm-sized scorpion into a few more pieces.

When it was Loki's turn, Colm shook the remaining scorpion tail and dismissed it.

"As a half-elf cub, you probably won't be able to eat much. I'll cut off half of it and leave the rest for you."
