Journey to the Half-Elf Plane

The half-elf Dufeng was very dissatisfied and shouted to Loki: "Littlefinger, you cowardly bastard, you must have woken everyone up because you were afraid of the dark."

Kom rubbed his eyes and cursed in a low voice, "Idiot, half-elf idiot."

Aina frowned, looked at Loki strangely, and said, "Littlefinger, what exactly did you find?"

Ruby, the cat-orc, has a natural dark vision. She obviously noticed something was wrong without Loki's explanation. She raised her finger and pointed at the orc who had been silent.

During this period of time when everyone was awake, the orc kept his back to everyone and sat by the campfire without making any movement, which looked very strange.

After noticing it, several people immediately gathered around, lit torches and took a closer look, but they immediately discovered a scene that frightened everyone.

The orc's figure seemed to have suddenly lost a lot of weight. Under the thick hair, the originally thick neck became as dry as firewood.

Turning the angle of the torch slightly, I looked at Panya's face again. The originally ferocious face full of flesh became like a dehydrated mummy. The two protruding big eyeballs were constantly turning in fear, which represented He still had some vital signs.

Nifeng said with some horror: "Half, half-orc, what's wrong with you?"

There was no color on the orc's face, or in other words, there was no blood or water in his body. He could no longer speak at all, but the Adam's apple on his dry neck trembled twice, making a few strange "cluck, cluck" sounds.

Then Panya's two big eyeballs stopped and looked straight ahead, his eyes gradually losing focus.

No one had time to check, and in less than a moment, the orc remained in a sitting position and died.

Everyone opened their eyes in astonishment, not daring to imagine what a strong and ferocious half-orc had gone through and how he became like this. Could it be that there was a legendary vampire in the Forest of Secret Whispers that sucked him dry at night?

"What happened? How did he die? Littlefinger, what must you have seen?"

The human Kom growled nervously, seeming to have forgotten his previous fear, and reached out to grab the collar of the half-elf boy.

Loki dodged backwards, easily dodged, and quickly loaded the string of the short-arm crossbow. He pointed the crossbow at Korm and said, "Stop moving, move again, and I will use this to wake you up." .”

Aina quickly grabbed Kom, stopped the upcoming dispute, and asked the half-elf boy at the same time.

"Loki, did you discover something? Otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry to wake everyone up."

Loki put down his crossbow, nodded and said, "Obviously, Panya was sucked dry of blood by something. I only saw a little shadow of that thing. It should be a huge worm, and it looks like a worm without a shell." snails."

"Furthermore, this worm's blood-sucking is not easily noticed by its prey. It should have the ability to anesthetize its prey."

Half-elf Nifeng was a little scared, and whispered angrily: "Damn it, what kind of worm can suck people into mummies? What on earth is it?"

The cat orc suddenly remembered something and said: "I seem to have heard some legends and stories about the Secret Forest. The secret language is that if you don't speak when you are alone, your blood will be sucked dry if you speak."

After saying that, Ruby used the guard sword to lift off the clothes on the orc corpse, but saw that the withered and terrifying corpse had become dry, and there were marks everywhere on it.

There was a weird depression, but no bleeding wound could be seen.

She then cut off the corpse's arm with force. The cross-section was the same as that of the mummy, with no red blood visible.

Loki also stepped forward. He used the Gurkha scimitar in his hand to cut open the abdominal cavity of the mummy. He saw several palm-sized gray-brown worms lying on several dried-up organs. These large worms had A few yellow spots.

The face of the cat orc Ruby changed and she said, "This is a three-ringed leech. It's strange. How could such a thing get into his body?"

Ruby picked up a three-ringed leech with her guard sword. The worm seemed to be full of blood and squirmed lazily twice. Then, as if it felt something, it twisted its body and crawled towards the wrist of the sword hilt.

With a quick shake of the cat-orc's hand, the worm fell to the ground and was quickly trampled to death by her. The palm-sized three-ring leech turned into a large pool of red and white blood and fat mixture.

A fishy smell of blood came, as if smelling this unique smell, several other worms in the abdomen of the mummy also crawled out quickly, and they all gathered in the blood and started sucking up.

Ruby lit a torch and held the flame up. As if she felt an astonishing heat, several three-ringed leeches stopped sucking, twisted and crawled around quickly, and soon disappeared into the surrounding darkness. In the dense forest.

Kom said with some fear: "I have heard from hunters before that this is a kind of leech that usually stays in trees. When animals or people pass by, it will fall from the tree and suck blood. But It’s impossible to suck people into mummies.”

Ruby's eyes were solemn and she said, "Besides, the three-ring mountain leech won't crawl so fast. Fortunately, it should be afraid of flames."

After hearing these words, everyone hurriedly added firewood to the bonfire, and also added several bonfires around the campsite to burn to prevent this terrifying three-ring leech from appearing again.

There was still some time before dawn, but this time no one dared to go to sleep directly. They all worked hard to hold on until dawn.

It wasn't until a little sunlight shone through the dense forest above their heads that everyone relaxed. At least during the day, they could detect some dangers with their eyes in advance, so that they wouldn't be sucked into mummies like orcs in the dark and die inexplicably.

There was no breakfast, so everyone had to continue moving forward hungrily, remaining extremely vigilant, paying careful attention to possible dangers around them, and also paying attention to whether there were any fruits that could be used.

There are dense trees on the way forward, and the strongest orc is dead. This time everyone takes turns to clear the way in front, cutting through the thorns. During this period, some strange bugs or small beasts will appear in the dense forest from time to time. Most of them are afraid of people and will soon disappear.

Occasionally, worms such as the three-ring mountain leech will fall from the trees. No matter how careful you are, there will be some mistakes.

The half-elf Nifeng who was walking in the team was telling his story when suddenly a three-ringed leech landed on his shoulder.

The finger-long worm was very fast and immediately got into his clothes.

Loki had quick eyes and quick hands, and cut open the half-elf Nifeng's clothes with the tactical claw knife in his hand.

He saw the three-ringed mountain leech sticking to his back, sucking blood. At the same time, the size of the worm was gradually growing in size that could be seen with the naked eye.

Half-elf Nifeng didn't notice it at all, only feeling that his clothes were torn by the person behind him.

Nifeng turned his head back with a look of shock and anger, only to see Little Finger of his own race holding a sharp short blade. He didn't know whether to be angry or afraid.
