Chapter 67

After walking for about half an hour, the scenery of the wasteland began to come into view one after another.

The first thing that comes to mind when I see the wasteland is desolation. Huge rocks of various shapes stand on the sand, and there is no sign of life to be seen.

The place where the orcs dug the roots was beside a riverbed that had been dry for who knows how many years at the edge of the wasteland.

As we got closer, the riverbed, which had been dry for who knows how many years, appeared before our eyes. The yellow ground exposed on the riverbed had long been cracked, and from a distance, the cracks looked like intertwined black snakes crawling on the ground.

Looking further away, what comes into view is the endless yellow land. The scorching and intense sunlight shines directly on the ground, mixed with the hot wind that blows from time to time. The desolate atmosphere is everywhere, and everything seems lifeless.

The orc picking team came to the dry riverbed, found their spot skillfully and began to dig up the bitter roots.

The beastmen usually use their hands to dig bitter roots. They have sharp claws and can easily dig a hole in the ground.

Jiaojiao, who didn't have sharp claws, took a small hoe that Xiong He had made for him overnight, squatted on the ground, grunting and digging with great effort.

Jiaojiao, who was having difficulty digging with a hoe, turned around and saw that Huyou and Arela sisters were digging easily with their hands, then she tilted her head and thought about it.

After figuring it out, Jiaojiao put down the hoe and followed her sister Arela and the others to dig in the ground with her hands.

However, after digging with her hands for a long time, Jiaojiao not only failed to dig a hole in the ground as she wished, but also accidentally filled the gaps between her neatly trimmed nails with soil.

"Ah." Looking at his dirty little hands, Jiaojiao exclaimed meaninglessly, then raised his hands to show Zella who was standing behind him: "Brother Zella is dirty."

Zera squatted down and looked at the sand between his fingernails. He found a tiny wooden thorn from somewhere, sat on the ground, held Jiaojiao's hand, and patiently picked it up bit by bit.

It took about five minutes to pick out all the sand and dirt in Jiaojiao's nails, but her little hands were still dusty and dirty. Seeing this, Zella took out the water bag and was about to pour out the water inside for Jiaojiao to wash her hands.

"No." Jiaojiao waved her little hands, and said with a serious face, "You still have to dig bitter roots. If you wash your hands, they will get dirty."

Hearing his words, Zela put away the water bag, picked up the small hoe beside him and handed it to Jiaojiao: "Use this, don't use your hands."

Jiaojiao nodded obediently: "I know."

Jiaojiao picked up the small hoe again, squatted on the ground, and continued to dig.

The young and old orcs beside him couldn't help but smile when they saw him like this.

"Jiaojiao, come and help me dig, I can't dig anymore." Before digging the bitter root, Arela stopped and waved to Jiaojiao beside him.

Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao responded crisply, stood up with his little hands on the ground, and ran over to help with his little bamboo basket and little hoe.

Jiaojiao ran over and squatted in front of the pit which was already of a certain depth. According to Sister Arela's instructions, she picked up a small hoe and dug hard into the pit. The thin soil fell away, revealing the black bitter roots underneath.

"Wow, Jiaojiao is so amazing. I dug for so long but couldn't find it, but you dug it out right away." Arela exclaimed naturally and without any perfunctory attitude.

Jiaojiao, holding a small hoe, curved her eyebrows and smiled so hard that her tiny teeth were exposed.

The delighted Jiaojiao looked up at Zela who was standing behind him and said softly, "Jiaojiao is amazing."

Zera, looking down at him, nodded in agreement, "Amazing."

Jiaojiao shook her little head happily after receiving recognition.

Arela smiled and helped Jiaojiao dig the bitter roots out of the pit and put them into his small basket. With the bitter roots in the basket, Jiaojiao was filled with joy.

Seeing this, Hu You, who was not far away, stopped digging the bitter root he was about to dig and raised his voice, saying, "Little God, I can't dig anymore. Can you come and help me dig a little?"

Knowing that the little spirit was calling for her, Jiaojiao, she immediately ran over happily with her little basket and hoe in hand: "Okay, Jiaojiao will be right over."

Seeing this, the other old and young orcs also followed Arela and Hu You's example to please the little god.

The riverbed was filled with the voices of the little gods and various praises mixed with exclamations, occasionally accompanied by the tender and soft laughter of the little gods.

In the beast tribe, the beastmen are in awe of the great gods, but are more caring towards the minor gods.

After all, the little god is very humble and looks very soft and cute, especially his eyes are innocent and bright, like a newborn fawn. Facing such a little god, it is really difficult for the orcs to feel awe.

Occasionally, a sense of awe would arise in you, but it would disappear completely when the little god raised its white, soft and cute face and smiled at you.

Erwens and the others who were standing aside and keeping a vigilant eye on the surroundings looked at the little god beside the riverbed with a smile on his face and his butt sticking out, digging at Kugen.

As I watched, a silly smile appeared on my face unconsciously. I felt that there was no one in the world more adorable than the little god.

Occasionally, Jiaojiao would look back and see the smiles on the orcs’ faces, so she scratched her face with her hand. The uncles were smiling so strangely!

Suddenly, the smiles on the faces of the orcs who were watching their surroundings vigilantly disappeared, and their temperament changed drastically in an instant.

A ferocious and bloodthirsty aura emanated from them. In just a blink of an eye, Hu Dan, Lei Yu, Zai Da, Le Xi, Chu Yu, Nia and other orcs, led by Erwens, ran out dozens of meters and collided violently with another wave of people who were coming at them at high speed.

At the same time, Zela picked up Jiaojiao, and Zhaiguang, Zhaimin and other orcs quickly retreated with the picking team.

Just as they ran out for dozens of meters, a figure with folded wings swooped down towards them from high altitude, and the terrifying speed brought with it bursts of sounds of breaking through the air.

Hearing the sound of breaking air, Zera and others gave up the idea of ​​returning to the deserted city without any hesitation and turned to run to another place.

Because of their decisive decision, the attack of the Celestial Clan in the air paused for a moment. In just that moment, the orcs had escaped a considerable distance.

Arela, Hu You and other orcs transformed into beasts, gritted their teeth and began to flee desperately.

A crisis so intense that it was almost tangible hung over the little orcs who had never experienced such things before, and it oppressed them so much that they even found it difficult to breathe.

Before they had run far, Zella and the others suddenly stopped and retreated with grim expressions.

In front of them was a group of people of various races who were surrounding them in a fan shape. At a glance, they could see that there were four humans, five tree people, two elves, four Palming people, six dwarves, and five tree people.

Behind him was a Five-Winged Celestial Clan member, and in front of him was a group of them.

Zera and the others turned around without hesitation and planned to break out from the Celestial Clan's side. However, after they turned around, they found that there was not just one Celestial Clan member behind them, but a group of them.

Surrounded on all sides, Zera placed Jiaojiao in his arms on the back of the beast-like Arela, and stared at the approaching Celestial Clan with his sea-blue eyes.

A Celestial named Leonora spotted Jiaojiao, who stood out from the rest of the Beastmen. He raised an eyebrow, and a hint of disgust flashed across his face as his gaze fell on Jiaojiao's furry ears. "It seems you, the God-Breaking Ones, are having a good life. Raising such fair and tender cubs isn't as difficult as we imagined."

It was obvious that these people in front of him came prepared, and the possibility of them escaping was almost zero.

But the Lord God was sleeping at this time, and the little God himself had no attack ability or means of self-protection!

This means that the little god is very likely to suffer physical harm!

Thinking of this, Zera's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he immediately shouted: "Aren't you Celestials the most devout believers? Why can't you recognize the gods when they are right in front of you!"

"God? You mean him?" Leonora's sneer fell on Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the back of a skinny wolf. "Your entire beast tribe has gone mad. Don't you think the entire Kana continent will go crazy too?!"

His expression grew increasingly sinister. "You dare to use a fair, tender cub to impersonate a god? I don't care if you beastmen are feigning madness or for whatever other motives you may have. In my eyes, even the death of your entire race wouldn't be enough to atone for your sin of impersonating a god!"

The Celestial Clan is indeed the most devout believer of the gods. Their devotion to the gods is so crazy that it makes the entire Kana continent afraid.

No matter what race any being is, as long as they say something bad or negative about the gods, once it is known by the people of the Celestial Clan, they will be hunted down endlessly.

No matter how far away, no matter how long it takes, they will kill those who blaspheme God!

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Zera turned to look at the crowd that had gathered on the other side, raised her hand and pointed at her face, which was covered with nothing but scales: "Before this, I had black silk on my face. Some of you should have seen what I looked like before."

One of the humans stared at Zera's face with a frown, uncertainly. Noticing that his features matched his memory, he turned to Leonora and said doubtfully, "He was indeed infected with the Divine Disgust before. He was injured in his right shoulder at the time, and I saw with my own eyes that his skin was covered in black threads."

Beings infected by the Divine Disgust will not only have black threads on their skin, but also in their deeper flesh and bones. These threads cannot be concealed even by removing the bones.

Leonora looked at Zella's face and sneered, "Foolish! Do you really think you can deceive the people of Kana Continent just because you applied a potion to hide black hair?"

It's not that no one has done this on the Kana continent. In fact, many people do this because no one wants to be discovered by their tribe that they have been rejected by the gods and thus expelled from the race.

This potion is sold on the black market of various races. However, although the potion can hide the outward manifestation of divine disgust, it can never resist the internal decay. The rapidly decaying appearance and fading vitality make this concealment extremely easy to be discovered.

Hearing this, Zera ripped off his shirt and cut a deep wound on his right shoulder with a knife. Blood flowed from the wound, and the flesh that was turned over was blood red without a trace of black. "I don't know what potion you are talking about, but I don't think it should cover the black threads in the flesh?"

"Brother Zela, it's bleeding and it hurts." Jiaojiao pointed at his arm with her little hand and frowned.

Hearing this, Zela turned his head to look at Jiaojiao behind him and shook his head: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Doesn’t it hurt?

Jiaojiao tilted her head in confusion. It was obviously very painful when Jiaojiao was bleeding.

Leonora, who was not far away, had her eyes flashing when she saw Zella's wound. Indeed, the potions available on the Kana continent nowadays can only work on the epidermis, and the black threads in the flesh and bones cannot be covered up.

If there was, he, as the most talented person in the family, couldn't possibly not know about it.

The expression on Leonora's face became more and more surprised and confused. His eyes fell on Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the back of the skinny wolf, and looked at her carefully.

When his eyes fell on Jiaojiao's dusty little hands, he froze for a moment, then sneered, "Unfortunately, you almost tricked me. I don't know how you managed to hide the black threads in your flesh, but there's no doubt that even if a new god were to descend, it would definitely not descend upon a race like the Beastmen, who had betrayed the gods."

There were bursts of beast roars and a strong smell of blood coming from the distance. Leonora, who smelled the blood, had an absurd and perverse sneer on her face. She looked at the group of blasphemers in front of her with a sinister look, and a strong murderous intent appeared around her.

Almost without warning, he appeared in front of Zera.

Leonora's speed was more than just fast. When he appeared in front of Zella, there was even a shadow left there that did not disappear.

Zella's reaction was equally quick. He realized his target almost the moment Leonora moved. Unable to catch any trace of Leonora's movement, he turned around in a hurry and pulled Jiaojiao into his arms while activating his beast transformation.

Leonora's speed was so incredible that almost the moment Zella turned around and met Jiaojiao, Leonora appeared behind him.

Fortunately, Leonora, who excels in speed, does not have a very strong attack power. The knife landed on the back of the half-beast Zera, but the damage caused was not fatal.

Jiaojiao, who was protected in Zera's arms, opened his eyes wide. The clear and strong murderous intent coming towards him made the hairs on his body stand up instinctively.

At the same time, Leonora's hair stood on end, and he almost instinctively stepped back.

Just as he stepped back, a huge thunderbolt landed on his previous position, causing the ground to cave in.

In that instant, the sky was so dark that there was no light at all!

The ground began to shake violently, and Leonora could even feel the entire ground beginning to sink slightly.

This was not an illusion, he was so sure of it as he flapped his wings in shock and flew off the ground to avoid the lightning.

“Boom boom boom!”

Lightning flashes continuously!

The dark sky was illuminated by the lightning, and in that instant, Leonora saw a dancing black shadow spreading rapidly from the direction of the Bian Forest in the distance.

The elf Phoebe Anna on the side suddenly looked up at the sky, her heart filled with horror. She could feel that the heaven and earth were angry!
