animal ears

?The foggy weather did not improve until it got dark, and the rain tended to fall more and more.

Accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds, the air became damp and cold, and Sarah unexpectedly slept soundly. Cole glanced sideways at him, envious of Sarah's calm temperament.But at this time, several dark shadows appeared on the sea in the distance, and they kept moving towards this side.

In fact, it was pitch black ahead, but Cole's night vision was very good, and his sense of smell was also extremely keen.

Those things have a strong smell of decay.

So he frowned, walked outside vigilantly, and stood in front of the shelter, but when he was about to step forward, someone grabbed his shoulders suddenly, and turned his head carefully, but it was Palanch with a condensed face, who also woke up at some point.

"Stay here, I'll go," Palanch said.

"What are those?"

"Demon Jiao, an ugly guy with a human shape and snake tail, lives on the bottom of the sea, and likes to share prey in groups, but the attack speed is very slow." Answered clearly and calmly.

Hearing this, Cole frowned, "There are so many of them, you can't handle them alone."

"I am enough, you guard the master." Throwing a word, Palanch rushed into the rain without any fear or hesitation.

"Hey, Palanch!" shouted after chasing into the rain, Cole had no time to stop Palanch's disappearing figure, and was about to chase after Palanch to help. However, shortly after Palanch left, another disturbing The smell came from the dark night behind the shelter.

It's the scent of orcs, and it's not far away.

Cole was on high alert, watching the direction where the smell came from, but at this moment he realized that there was more than one person coming.

Seven, eight...or more.

Are you here to catch yourself?

Just like the orc named "Simon" last time...

Cole frowned.

If so, you must be prepared, and... He carefully squinted at the shelter behind him, and Sarah was still inside.

The heavy rain covered up many smells and sounds. Cole was not sure how many people were there. It was dark all around, and all the sounds were drowned out by the pattering rain overhead. Sticky and cold, Cole was calm, and looked sideways at the direction where the smells came from.

But at this moment, there was a gust of wind, and a famous orc rushed over.

Cole didn't dodge, but passed over lightly, and then grabbed the orc's throat head-on, grabbed the back of the man's head with his backhand, and pressed hard on the ground. At the same time, he twisted the orc's arm so that he couldn't resist. The man screamed in pain, still trying to struggle, but Cole held on very tightly.

There was anger in the voice, and Cole growled, "What's your purpose?"

The other party gritted his teeth, remained silent, and was still stubbornly resisting.

However, he will no longer be soft-hearted.

The injury has not yet healed, if he is attacked and died like this, then who will save the life and death of Ley?

The orc struggled desperately, turned over and raised its paws to make a final fight, but when he saw Cole's blood-red eyes, he was stunned.

"You...you are!" He opened his mouth wide and widened his eyes in disbelief.

But at this time, there was a soft tut from behind, Sarah got up, walked slowly into the rain, came to Cole, glanced at the people on the ground faintly, then raised her head to look in front of the hazy place, her eyes looked around, He snorted coldly, "Siegel, is that how you welcome me?"

As soon as the words were finished, a deep, steady and powerful voice came from the darkness: "Otherwise, how can I invite you back, Sara." With the end of the words, a middle-aged orc came faintly from the darkness, The stern face was unsmiling, and his eyes were extremely sharp. Cole noticed that his eyes were also purple.

A group of people quickly followed around them, all of them were orcs, all of them were cold and sharp-eyed.

surrounded.

But Sara is not afraid at all. Listening to the conversation, the two should know each other.

While Cole was thinking, Siegel, the leader, took a closer look at Sarah, and his eyes finally fell on Cole behind him.

Seeing Cole, Siegel gasped, and suddenly showed a shocked look, but he quickly returned to normal. After a while, Siegel looked at Sarah again, and said in a request-like and command-like way: " Sarah, please let Sanja go."

With a deep smile, Sarah replied: "Of course it's no problem." Then she turned to Cole and said, "Let him go."

Realizing that the "Sanga" mentioned by the other party refers to the orc who was pinned to the ground by him, Cole did not hesitate, let go of the man immediately, then stood up, looked at the large number of orcs on the opposite side, and stood up without hesitation. Sara confronted him.

Even if it's not an enemy, it's still unclear what the other party's intentions are, so it's better to be careful.

Siegel carefully looked at the orc who was protecting Sarah in front of him, then smiled slightly, and said, "Sara, I haven't come back for so many years, so I was thinking about it."

"He is the most suitable choice, isn't he." Sarah said lightly.

"Yes, he is the most suitable." Siegel nodded, agreeing with Sarah's words.

What are the two talking about?

Cole, who was caught in the middle, was confused.

Then Siegel turned around, turned his eyes away from others, and walked forward. When he passed Cole, he deliberately glanced at him again, and then turned around. Said: "Dear patriarch, I apologize for disturbing you earlier, now please go back with me with your friends."

The rest of the orcs also knelt down instantly, expressing their submission.

The atmosphere is solemn but weird.

"Ah." Sara narrowed her eyes and said softly, "I accept your apology."

"Cole." At this moment, Sarah suddenly turned her head and called to herself.

Cole turned around.

Hearing Sarah's call, Siegel's eyes flickered, he looked over quietly, and then stared at Cole carefully, his eyes were indescribably strange.

Sarah smiled and said, "Let's go back."

Understanding what Sara meant, Cole nodded knowingly, but remembered Palanche who hadn't come back yet, so he couldn't help but say, "Palanche hasn't come back yet."

"Palanche?" Sarah raised an eyebrow.

It was only then that I realized that I had slipped my tongue. Sarah said that Palanch was a slave and had no name, so Cole explained, "I gave him the name."

There were ripples in her eyes, Sarah didn't say anything, she just turned her head and smiled, and said, "Really, this name is not bad."

Let's go.

Not angry?

Maybe, I have never been able to see through Sara.

The orcs followed, but Cole didn't follow immediately.

He was still worried about Palanch, and kept hesitating to turn his head, but Siegel seemed to see Cole's worry, turned around and said to Cole: "The magic dragon is my domesticated animal, as long as I don't give the order, they won't stop." It will hurt him, and you can fight at most, you can rest assured."

Domesticated?

This person... actually tamed that strange and terrifying beast?

Cole was astonished, staring at Siegel blankly, wondering whether he should believe him or not.

There was inexplicable excitement in the pupils staring at Cole. Seeing that Cole was still not moving, Siegel stepped forward a little and said to Cole patiently: "Please believe me, I am a beast." Elder of the ear tribe, I will never deceive the tribe, especially... especially the friends of the patriarch." The words stopped, the eyes moved, Siegel lowered his eyelids, and said in a low voice, "Besides, you still suffer hurt."

He raised his finger and pointed at Cole's chest and abdomen. He should have noticed it from the beginning, right?

"But..." Still hesitating.

"Listen to me, Cole." Siegel's tone could not be refuted.

Looking back again, nothing could be seen in the dark night. After a long time, Cole finally sighed and replied, "...Okay, I believe you."

Along the reef not more than [-] meters from the coast, there is a big hole buried in the gravel.

Dark and humid, with strange rocks.

The orc walking in front was holding a torch. The light of the fire did not bring warmth, but instead made the damp and dark hole appear a darker color, his back gradually became cold, and the ground was very slippery.

"This cave is only exposed during the dawn of the day, and the rest of the time is submerged by sea water." Siegel, who has been walking in front of Cole, said as he walked forward, "This is the way to our cave. The Horde's only path."

"Could it be that the village of the Beast Ears is underground?" Cole couldn't help being curious when he found out that he was walking down the cave, and there was darkness in front of his eyes.

Can't help laughing back, Siegel shook his head and replied: "Of course not, from here we will pass through the underground temple where the beast ear tribe worships. We have to go through the underground passage under the temple to reach the tribe." Finally, he Added a sentence, "But since it is only possible to enter and exit at this time of the day, the exit will not be open at other times. If you are not allowed to enter at will, you may be drowned by the high tide seawater."

Siegel's tone didn't sound like a joke.

However, what Cole couldn't understand was Siegel's attitude towards him. Logically speaking, he was a stranger he met for the first time. On the way, Cole found that Siegel would look back at him with those purple eyes from time to time, and then stare strangely for a long time.

With familiar and nostalgic eyes.

Just now, it was the first time we met, but Siegel called out his name in a tone that seemed very familiar.

strangeness.

I can't help feeling anxious.

So she quietly looked at Sarah who was walking not far in front of her. Strange to say, since seeing Siegel and the others, Sarah hardly said a word, and she didn't even look at Cole. Sarah didn't seem to hear what Geer was talking about.

The silent back, together with the beating flames, was like an illusion, shrouded in Yin Qi.

I don't feel dumbfounded.

"By the way." Siegel's voice recalled Cole's consciousness. He looked at Cole and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with your injury? I smell the smell, it looks very serious. You can still go Move, don't force yourself."

With a very concerned voice, Cole lowered his eyes, covered the slightly painful wound, moved the corners of his mouth, and said, "I'm fine."

In fact, he was still in pain, but he was just trying to be like a normal person.

The fire light flickered and imprinted on his side face, emitting a honey-colored light.

Suddenly, Siegel spoke again, and he asked, "Cole, where is your home? And... where is your family?"

Unexpected question.

"do not know."

"I don't know?" He stopped and looked back in surprise, Siegel raised his eyebrows slightly.

Nodding seriously, Cole looked directly at the other party, shrugged helplessly and said: "I have lost the memory of the past." Then he shook his head like self-deprecating, "So I don't know where my home is, let alone if I have family members, maybe there are , maybe... no."

"Lost memory..." After muttering a few times, Siegel turned around, and the rest was a strange silence. After a long time, he suddenly sighed, "I see."

After that, everyone stopped talking, and the air was very still. Among the group, only the orc named Sanga accidentally looked back here, not sure if it was Cole or Siegel.

Continue to move forward, and after walking for a while, the rocky steps ahead are even steeper, but after passing this steep road, there is an open flat land in front of it, and there is a high platform in the middle of the flat ground, surrounded by moonlight leaves. There are dots of green light, unexpectedly solemn and quiet.

However, what surprised Cole was not the high platform, but the tomb under the high platform.

Standing upright in front of him, there are tombstones without names one after another.

In the silent cemetery, there is only the breathing of the few living people. Other than that, it is so quiet that there is no noise at all. The air is mixed with the smell of old age. The first thing Cole feels is not fear, but that he is about to be dazzled. The pain, and the suffocating grief.

"This is the altar," Siegel said.

It is said to be an altar, but it looks like an old abandoned cemetery. The tombstones corroded by the cold sea water can no longer see their original appearance, but one after another, standing alone in the rotten and wet mud.

"Who are they?" Cole couldn't help asking with inexplicable sadness in his heart.

The light of moonlight leaves is so cold, but so lonely.

"These are clansmen who died outside." Siegel explained next to him.

"People who died outside?"

Siegel closed his eyes lightly, and said softly: "Well, they were persecuted to death."?
