Chapter 517: Humans are just food (six thousand)

The Far North is the coldest place in the North.

Here, there is no trace of life, because no living creature can survive here.

It's too cold.

Even a snow bear with a long mane would be frozen into a hard ice sculpture in such a place. The temperature is at least minus 70 or 80 degrees Celsius, or even more exaggerated. Even hard steel thrown into such a place would instantly turn into fine debris, and the air exhaled from the mouth would quickly turn into tiny ice chips.

This place was originally a vast glacier.

Under normal circumstances, everything around you is white as ice. Even a strong person with considerable strength will quickly lose his way if he accidentally falls here, and then freeze to death in a very short time due to the rapid loss, exhaustion and freezing of his magic power.

The extremely low temperature means that the ice here will never melt. After thousands or tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the thick ice layer seems to have undergone some abnormal changes, becoming stronger than boulders and steel walls.

Ordinary weapons cannot even leave a tiny mark on the ice.

Even if a legendary master used extremely powerful weapons to cut off small pieces of ice and brought them out of the Far North... no, out of the northern border, to other warmer places with higher temperatures where the rivers would not freeze at all, these ice blocks would not melt at all. Even starting a fire under the ice blocks would not be able to melt the ice on the thousands of miles of glaciers.

The solid ice on the vast glacier has long since transformed into some very special material.

As for how thick the ice here is, no one knows.

All we know is that there was once a legendary nine-star master who entered the Far North. He used his spiritual sense to penetrate the ice, trying to spy on the secrets hidden beneath the deepest part of the ice. However, his spiritual sense penetrated one hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters... until that wisp of spiritual sense was frozen, he still could not spy on the limit of the ice.

In the eyes of the powerful practitioners of the Dusk Continent, the ice layer of the Wanli Glacier is the most indestructible existence in the world! But now, the Wanli Glacier... is torn apart.

Aaaah! The roar was like that of a prehistoric beast, shocking everyone.

What followed was a roar like the collapse of heaven and earth.

No matter whether it was Patridge, Philomena or Bai Lan, they could all clearly feel the strong vibration coming from under their feet. Then, the solid and smooth ice seemed to turn into rippling waves, presenting extremely strange waves and arcs. They could clearly feel that the ground under their feet was bulging rapidly, as if some huge monster was howling and struggling hard under the vast glacier.

When the ice layer bulged to a certain extent, the Wanli Glacier could no longer bear it, and huge cracks were opened on the extremely solid ice surface.

Dense and thick fog emitting a foul stench of decay quickly spread out from the cracks, and the already gloomy contaminated area quickly turned as black as ink.

Boom! There was another violent roar.

Not far in front of Patridge, Philomena and Bai Lan, the ice surface completely exploded.

In an instant, the sky was filled with fine ice fragments, followed by a turbulent wave that swept over like a tsunami.

At the same time, huge and thick tentacles stretched out from under the glacier.

The black tentacles are covered with densely packed, irregular, circular mouthparts, which are wriggling as if they want to swallow everything in front of them.

In the cold sky, there appeared a huge shadow that looked like an octopus.

…

The changes in the Far North did not spread too far.

Although the noise was loud, it was still far away from where the orc tribe gathered. When the overwhelming impact spread to that area, the power was no longer as terrifying as it was at the beginning.

On the fox girl clan’s side, they only felt a slight vibration beneath their bodies, nothing more.

However, for the North, which has been relatively calm except for the wind and snow, this kind of movement is enough to arouse vigilance.

Bai Yuan's delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and there was deep worry in his eyes.

Ron had left.

He left with Noctis, probably heading to the Winged People tribe and looking for that Lahado.

Although in Bai Yuan's view, Lahado was a little shameless, but the threat level was far less than that of the evil spirit. However, in his lover's heart, he seemed to regard Lahado as a greater threat. Before going to destroy the evil spirit, he had to kill Lahado first, and then he could feel at ease.

Bai Yuan would neither refuse nor stop his lover's decision.

But, I couldn't help but feel worried.

She didn't know how long it would take for her lover to come back after he left this time, and whether he would encounter any danger again.

She didn't know what the current situation was with her sister and little Fina, or whether they had encountered any difficulties. The slight tremor under her feet made Bai Yuan worried to the extreme.

Bai Yuan bit her lips tightly with her pearly white teeth, feeling anxious.

This strong sense of uneasiness even made Bai Yuan feel a strong sense of guilt.

She thought that her strength was strong enough, and was complacent about it. But when the danger came, Bai Yuan realized that the little strength she possessed was not worth mentioning at all.

If... I could be a little stronger, maybe I wouldn't have to suffer so much?

Bai Yuan thought so.

"Relax, Ms. Shirakuen."

A gentle voice came from the side.

It was Miss Agnes. When Ron first entered the Temple of Dusk, it was this gentle lady who had always been by his side.

Although more than two years have passed since then, Agnes's face seems to have not changed at all. She is still as beautiful and gentle as ever.

"Sir has already arranged for Miss Niafu to go to the evil spirit seal. Miss Niafu is a six-winged fallen angel. Her power may not be able to completely destroy the evil spirit due to its attributes, but it should not be a problem to hold it back."

"Your sister won't be in any danger."

Bai Yuan nodded deeply. Ron's arrangements were very detailed.

On the one hand, he personally went to deal with the Guardian of Destiny to prevent the Guardian of Destiny from taking advantage of the evil spirits to cause trouble.

On the one hand, Niafu was arranged to hold back the evil spirit.

On the other hand, they left the two girls, Agnes and Irelia, in the tent of the fox girls to prevent their home from being robbed.

Obviously everything was arranged very well, but Bai Yuan's inner torment never subsided from beginning to end. She didn't want to stay here and wait in agony like now. She wanted to be a participant instead of just a spectator.

"Sorry, maybe I was too worried." Bai Yuan said with a forced smile.

Irelia and Agnes smiled gently and did not think Bai Yuan was being rude. After all, this matter not only concerned her sister, but also the life and death of the entire orc tribe. It was normal for Bai Yuan to show such an expression.

After nodding slightly at Irelia and Agnes and instructing several fox girls to entertain them well, Bai Yuan entered the inner courtyard. As soon as he entered, Bai Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground with a dragon crystal in his hand, and began to absorb the abundant energy in the dragon crystal.

She still hopes that she can become stronger.

She didn't want to be a burden to Ron and her sister.

In fact, Bai Yuan is very clear about her current situation. Her strength has increased tremendously in just over two years. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that she has become stronger, but the bad thing is that her strength has increased too quickly, which may lead to instability in her own realm.

An unstable realm can be a big deal or a small one. In the smallest case, one's own strength will be damaged, and one will not be able to exert the power that one should have at this realm. There will be problems controlling one's own magic power. In more serious cases, it may lead to a drop in realm.

The worst cases may even lead to obsession. Once possessed, it is a blessing in disguise to be able to save one's life.

For Bai Yuan now, the most important thing is naturally to consolidate his own realm, not to continue to be greedy for merit and advance recklessly, especially not to try to step into a higher realm. Under normal circumstances, Bai Yuan would never be so anxious.

But now, Bai Yuan seemed to not care about so much.

She longed for greater power than ever before.

She hoped that she could fight alongside Ron and her sister, instead of being protected by others all her life.

Under this desire, Bai Yuan forgot some taboos in his practice.

The pure energy in the dragon crystal began to flow into Bai Yuan's body. Countless snowflakes seemed to be scattered around her body. The bone-chilling cold began to spread around with Bai Yuan's body as the center, and the ground of the inner courtyard was gradually covered with a layer of crystal frost.

Just behind Bai Yuan's body, the shadow of a giant frost dragon slowly emerged.

…

The Winged People Tribe.

Ron did not enter the tribe, but waited quietly outside.

Although there were many Winged People experts patrolling nearby, those elite Winged People were completely unaware of Ron's presence even if they walked past him.

There was no way. The gap in strength between the two sides was too big. Even just an ordinary invisibility spell was enough to make Ron completely disappear from the eyes of these winged people.

As for the person he was waiting for, it was naturally Noctis.

Noctis returned to the Winged People tribe alone, because Ron's identity was rather special, he was a human, and the Orcs were generally hostile to humans. Of course, Noctis was not worried that Ron would be attacked. What he was worried about was that once those idiots in the tribe showed their stupid arrogance in front of Ron, if they angered Ron, would it bring disaster to the Winged People tribe.

He didn't know what was going on. Every second he stayed with Ron, his fear of Ron grew uncontrollably, as if the person standing next to him was not a human being, but a demon that had broken free from the shackles of hell.

That's why Noctis asked to go into the tribe alone to find Lahadru.

He thought Ron would not let him leave so easily, but he did not expect Ron to agree without any hesitation.

Time passed by minute by minute. Nearly an hour had passed since Noctis returned to the Winged People Tribe. Finally, a figure rushed out of the tribe in a hurry. Who else could it be but Noctis?

But at this moment, Noctis's expression looked a little gloomy.

Clearly, something had happened that had upset Noctis greatly.

Noctis was very sharp in avoiding the patrolling Winged Soldiers and quietly arrived at the place where both parties had agreed to meet. He looked left and right and saw Ron's figure appear silently from nothingness.

"How is it?" Ron asked, glancing at Noctis who was full of anger.

"Damn it, Mr. Ron, you are right. Lahaddo is indeed a traitor. He betrayed me..." Noctis clenched his claws and said in a hoarse voice: "No, maybe he didn't betray me, but he never was loyal to me... He just treated me as a chess piece that can be easily manipulated."

"Right after I returned to the tribe, I heard some rumors that I had released evil spirits in order to fight for the throne of the Orc King and pushed the entire Orc tribe into hell."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

“Those tribesmen who usually treated me with great respect now looked at me with hatred.”

"Even my father, who doted on me the most, severely rebuked me for my stupidity."

"Damn it, I've never been humiliated like this before." Noctis said indignantly, "I was just deceived."

Ron was not surprised by this situation.

He just curled his lips slightly: "Who spread the rumors?"

"This is the strangest thing. No one knows where the news came from. It seems that everyone knows it all of a sudden, and everyone believes it."

"In the tribe, many elders even asked to expel me from the Winged People to prevent my behavior from bringing disaster to the Winged People."

"There are even some hot-tempered guys who demanded that I be executed. Only in this way can the anger of other races be quelled."

The smile on Ron's face became even more intense. He looked at Noctis. To be honest, he didn't think Noctis had any right to feel indignant. No matter whether he was being led or fooled, he was the one who did these things.

As the chief of a tribe, anyone with a sound mind can imagine how much damage would be done to the orcs if the evil spirit really came into the world.

As the instigator, what kind of disaster will Noctis bring to the Winged People?

Apart from anything else, the fox girl clan will never let the winged people go. Noctis is arrogant and doesn't take the fox girl clan seriously, but the Winged King definitely understands how terrifying those delicate fox girls are.

Although Noctis is his best son, between the tribe and the survival of his son, he will definitely choose the former without hesitation.

The Winged King was able to allow Noctis to walk out of the tribe intact, but that was already under tremendous pressure and was extremely biased.

The saddest thing is that Noctis did not understand the good intentions of the Winged King at all, and was even still upset that his father expelled him and did not execute all those idiots who gossiped about him.

It is really pitiful for the Winged King to have such a son.

Ron looked at the soldiers patrolling below, and he did not sense any signs of manipulation from these soldiers.

However, he believed that there must be some imperceptible force guiding everything in secret. After all, even rumors take time to spread, and on the Winged People's side, it only took two or three days for everyone to know what Noctis had done and believe it without a doubt. This was very abnormal.

"Where's Lahado?" Ron asked slowly.

He felt that he might have underestimated the guardian of destiny of the Orcs. This guy's level might be a little higher than he expected, at least better than those losers of the Andre family.

Silently and without a sound, everything is under the control of your own hands.

This can be a rather troublesome enemy.

"I have inquired, and Lahado is not in the tribe."

When Noctis mentioned Lahaddo, his face was filled with hatred and resentment: "When I went to the Fox Girl Clan, Lahaddo disappeared from the tribe right after I left. He must have gone to the Ursine Clan. Damn it, this guy really colluded with those bastards of the Ursine Clan."

"Is that so?" Ron hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have anything that Lahado gave you, or something more personal?"

"I'm going to cast tracking magic."

…

The bear people.

This is the most powerful tribe in the Orcs' territory.

The heritage of the orcs is not much inferior to that of humans. Living in this ice and snow for many years has also cultivated the orcs' tenacious, hot-tempered and aggressive character, as well as strong physique.

They are the best and most powerful warriors in the Dusk Continent.

Over the long period of 8,000 years, countless conflicts and wars had occurred within the Orcs, and countless lives had been lost in each war. Under the thick ice and snow, countless stiff corpses were buried.

And every war represents a change in royal power.

The once invincible elephant people, relying on their natural supernatural powers and thick skin that could easily withstand sharp claws, dominated the entire northern border and even unified the entire orc race at one point. They wanted to emulate the human world and establish an orc kingdom, but in the end they could only gradually die out in the ice and snow.

There once was a tribe of lizardmen who, relying on their strong reproductive capacity and astonishing population size, attempted to turn the entire northern border into their territory, but they also vanished in the wind and snow.

The Tigermen used to be majestic and arrogant, but with the accidental death of the previous generation of Orc King, the Tigermen gradually declined.

The bear people are the kings of this generation.

If Bai Lan had not emerged as a sudden force and intervened, the chief of the bear people would have been the orc king of this generation.

On the one hand, the chief of the bear people is a legendary nine-star master, and his strength is second only to Bai Lan in the huge orc tribe.

In the Orc King selection, he once fought with Bai Lan for hundreds of moves before being defeated unwillingly. Although his strength is not as good as Bai Lan, he can be regarded as the only one under Bai Lan.

On the other hand, the Bearmen have nearly 200,000 members, and if every member of the Orcs is an excellent warrior, then the Bearmen are the warriors among warriors. They are strong and have a pair of powerful bear paws. Even a solid iceberg can be easily smashed into pieces.

At the same time, they have thick fat and extremely thick fur in their bodies, which allows them to resist the cold while also defending against the claws of other orcs. Even the sharp claws of werewolves can hardly tear open their flexible and hard skin.

Coupled with their huge bodies, once the 200,000-strong army is in action, it will be like an indestructible and indestructible bulldozer. No matter what stands in their way, it will be easily trampled into pieces by the 200,000 bear men.

That's right. After Bai Lan became the Orc King, the Bearmen voices of opposition were the loudest.

At this moment, in the royal court of the Bearmen, there was also an extremely tense atmosphere.

In a tall courtyard behind the royal court, there were seven figures.

Among them were Lahado from the Winged Man Tribe, Angesi from the Werewolf Tribe, Dyson from the Leopard Man Tribe, Boyle from the Tiger Man Tribe, Kasa from the Minotaur Tribe, Banetta from the Pigman Tribe, and Belon from the Bearman Tribe! If other orcs saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. After all, these seven beings had extremely special, even lofty, status in their respective tribes.

Lahado is a good man among the Winged People and has great influence among the Winged People.

Angus is the high priest of the werewolf tribe, and Kasa is the shaman of the tauren tribe. Both of them hold the power of sacrifice. Even the patriarch has to accept the baptism of the high priest and Shaman.

Dyson is the prince of the Leopard People and is already half the tribe leader.

Boyle was the previous leader of the Tigermen and also the queen of the previous Orc King.

As for Banetta, he is the first warrior of the Pig-headed People and is extremely powerful.

The most exaggerated one is Veron, a bear man whose body is as big as a mountain and comparable to a giant. He is the chief of the bear man tribe of this generation.

It can be said without exaggeration that any one of these people has considerable say in their respective tribes. If such a group of people gather together, it will definitely cause a stir among the orcs.

Moreover, some of them were even openly enemies who wanted to eat each other alive, such as Boyle of the Tiger Man and Veron of the Bear Man. But now, although the atmosphere on the scene seemed a little depressing, it was not violent, and there was no sign of war at all.

They seemed to be having a party.

In the middle of the yard was a bonfire, and above the bonfire was a wooden frame with a humanoid creature wearing on it.

It seemed to be a person.

At least there are no orc features on this creature.

Judging from her figure, this seems to be a human girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

laugh.

Boyle of the Tiger Man tribe pulled down a thigh from the wooden rack, stuffed it into his foul-smelling mouth and chewed it in big mouthfuls. For most members of the Orc tribe, humans were nothing more than food.
