◎Haman Orc◎
Xiaoguai tilted his head, not understanding why the person in front of him was looking at him with such sympathy. Was he really that pitiful?
No, not at all.
Every day, I can get food and drink from the hands of Summer Pear Blossoms. When I am happy, I will go out for a few laps. When I am tired, I will just run away. No one can do anything to me. Who would not feel comfortable living such a fairy-like life?
If it hadn't been a lone beast living in the Endless Abyss, without any neighbors around, I'm afraid it would have turned around with its tail raised to show off to its acquaintances.
No one could understand Xiaoguai's thoughts. Even Xia Li didn't know what he was thinking with his tilted head. She stood beside the animal's strong legs and patted it gently.
Xiaoguai let out a howl and looked away. Seeing her nodding at a man opposite, he immediately understood - something had happened. So he roared to the sky and rushed towards the man with the bow on all fours!
"Dog!" Wen Li exclaimed as she frantically drew symbols with her metal staff. This time she moved faster, and the symbols flew out in twos and threes, heading straight for Xiaoguai and Xia Li behind him.
Xia Li took a small step to the side and easily avoided the attack. Xiaoguai didn't even bother to dodge and rushed towards the attack!
The symbol hit Xiaoguai's surface and melted away instantly, nothing happened.
"How could this be...?!" Winry's mouth dropped open in surprise. This was her most skilled control skill—the Curse of Weakness. Any attack reduced by 50%. While she couldn't completely eliminate the enemy's attack power yet, even reducing it by half would relieve a significant amount of pressure on Dog.
But the problem is, her weakness curse is completely ineffective! What's going on?
Arthur and Bank, the giant axe orcs standing by, also noticed this abnormality, but they were not Haman (a priest among the human race) and did not understand these complicated skills. They only knew that Doge was in danger. Even if they had any opinions about Doge in private, they did not dare to watch him get hurt.
The two men, wielding axes, chased after it from the left and right, ready to give the four-legged beast a crushing demonic blow!
Xia Li had a faint smile on her lips. As expected, the demon hunter above level 50 was the center of their team. As long as Xiaoguai attacked him, the rest of the people had to turn their attention back.
Xiaoguai is thick-skinned and has an auxiliary skill called [Ghost], [Ghost: Passive, has a certain chance to protect himself and his master from abnormal interference]. In this case, the skills in the hands of the opposing Haman orc are basically ineffective, so she can let go for the time being and let Xiaoguai rampage among the demon group.
While everyone was restrained by Xiaoguai, Xia Li ran through the woods while throwing poison gas at the empty space behind him. The black gas exploded with a bang, but of course it did not hit anyone in the demon clan.
The air flowed quickly and the black mist spread.
Unconsciously, a black barrier quietly formed.
On the demon side, before the four-legged beast's hooves stepped on him, Dog dodged nimbly. However, no one expected that this four-legged beast could actually spit fire. The flames it spewed out almost hurt Arthur and Bank. Fortunately, Winry acted in time to protect them.
"Arthur, Bank, Winry, the three of you hold this monster down, I'll deal with that human." Dog ordered, and at the same time he raised his arms and drew the bow, intending to aim at the alchemist.
However, the next second, he suddenly discovered that they were surrounded by a circle of black gas without knowing when. The gas was controlled very precisely and trapped them in the inner circle like a wall.
Oh no, we've caught him in a trap! Doge suddenly remembered the human plan his tribe had mentioned.
The alchemist wanted to trap them inside and kill them.
Doge bit his lower lip and thought hard. In the current situation, if they stubbornly defended the inner circle, they would sooner or later be ambushed one by one by the enemy. The enemy was in the dark, and they were in the light. Even if his archery skills were good, he could not defeat the pair of greedy eyes behind the black fog.
What should they do? What should they do?
Calm down! He is the next candidate for the Son of Saye. No matter how critical the situation is, he must remain calm!
Not only him, but Arthur, Bank and Winry also noticed something wrong around them. This circle of black air seemed to appear out of nowhere and suddenly disrupted their rhythm.
"Dog, we seem to be trapped!" Arthur shouted while resisting the four-legged beast, but because he was distracted, he did not notice the four-legged beast. Xiaoguai opened his mouth and bit half of his body in his mouth.
"Dog! Say something, Arthur is about to be eaten!" Bank was anxious and angry. He threw away the axe in his hand and hugged Arthur's legs tightly with his arms, hoping to pull Arthur out of the monster's mouth.
Wen Li was so scared that she couldn't help shaking. This was her first time leaving the Saye Continent on behalf of the Demon Clan, and also her first time confronting the human race head-on. She thought that after more than twenty years of hard training, her strength was enough to rival the human race, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even beat a wild beast.
The pride and self-esteem of being a demon made her angry and annoyed. Wen Li sniffed and released all the skills she had memorized in her mind at once.
Xia Li sensed the panic in the inner circle, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Everything was developing as she expected.
She admitted that, except for the ordinary orc who had no fighting ability, the remaining four demons were all quite strong, especially the demon hunter whose archery skills were as good as Collins and the orc Harman who had healing skills.
Unfortunately, they failed due to lack of practical experience.
No matter how powerful your skills are, if your brain cannot adapt to changes and your psychological quality is not strong enough, even if you gain the upper hand at the beginning, you will gradually lose the battle over time.
It can be seen from the fact that the Haman orcs were complacent because of a small victory at the beginning that they have never experienced a real battlefield. Just one lava beast can disrupt their rhythm and break their psychological defense, so they are not far from failure.
In order to speed up the opponent's defeat, Xia Li took out two ordinary green daggers from her backpack, with no attack power.
But for now it should be enough to defeat the demons in the inner circle.
With a flick of her finger, the two daggers spun around easily in her palm for a few rounds, and then she threw them out quickly, drawing two smooth arcs.
"Ah, that human attacked me!" Bank's back of the head was stabbed by a dagger that suddenly appeared. It did not cause any substantial damage to him, but in this extremely tense battle situation, any disturbance was enough to make his heart tremble.
Doge also noticed the dagger because the not-so-sharp blade just grazed his cheek, causing a very shallow wound.
That human was deliberately threatening them.
Doug tried hard to stay calm. If they continued to waste time like this, they would probably be wiped out.
It was his idea to suggest to Saye that they go to the human continent to look for Collins. Winry, Arthur and the others were just following his team, and he couldn't drag them down.
"I surrender." Doge put down his bow and arrow and said calmly to the black fog that had not yet dissipated.
"Dog, are you crazy?!" Bank stared at him in disbelief. "We are the descendants of the great Saye. We will never submit to humans! Have you forgotten your oath?"
"Dog, we would rather die here than surrender to the hateful humans!" Wen Li was shaking with anger. Although this trembling also contained the fear of death, compared to this, when she thought of the oath she had made since she was born in the Saye Continent, her belief suddenly turned into strength, supporting her to wave the metal staff in her hand again and again.
However, Dog completely ignored their questions. His eyes were still looking out of the black fog, and he repeated his words: "I surrender."
Xia Li heard the sound, smiled, whistled, and finally let go of Arthur's little darling, spitting him out of her mouth.
It secretly concluded that demons were not tasty, even more disgusting than the roasted lamb leg that Xia Rilihua gave it. It would never eat demons again.
On the ground, Arthur, slobbering with saliva, was already trembling with fear. He thought he was going to be eaten, and bitten in half in a bloody way. God knows how desperate he felt as he lay on the tongue of this four-legged beast! How hopeless he felt!
But, he seems to be alive?
Arthur touched his wet but real face in disbelief, then raised his eyelids to look at the four-legged beast, who was looking at him with an expression of great disgust.
"Arthur, are you okay, Arthur?" Bank hugged him excitedly, his eyes turning red uncontrollably.
Arthur hesitated for a few seconds before slowly saying, "I... am fine..."
"That's great, Arthur, I'm glad you're okay!" Bank let go of him and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Wen Li stared at them blankly. At this moment, she felt that the day had finally dawned. She fell to the ground, her whole body cold and trembling. At this moment, her mind was filled with only one thought, that is, they lost, and lost completely.
The wind continued to blow, blowing away the black fog barrier that Xia Li had specially created.
Doug stood in front of the already broken team, looked at her, and said word by word: "Catch me, and let them live."
A quarter of an hour later, Xia Li stood in front of Sergeant Wei Bamon on time.
Wei Bamen looked at the item she handed over and frowned: "What is this?"
Xia Li: "Stolen from the demons."
Wei Bamon was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "I knew they couldn't hold back. They're definitely coming for the demon hunters the Queen has captured."
After a pause, he asked her, "Didn't you catch anyone?"
Xia Li shook her head regretfully. "They were so numerous, I was outnumbered. I only managed to get this little bit of evidence from them."
Anyway, the task assigned to her was to [find out the situation outside the city], and she was not asked to arrest anyone. Now that she has found out the situation, Wei Bameng would not say that she failed to complete the task, right?
Xia Li glanced at the metal staff used by the Haman orcs that she handed over, and raised one corner of her mouth.
Sure enough, the next second, the system sent a prompt.
[King: Assist Sergeant Wei Bamon to investigate the situation outside the city (time limit: 60 minutes) - Completed]
[Reputation +8]
Only 8 points... Xia Li looked at this number unsatisfied. After a moment's thought, she simply raised her eyelids and looked at Wei Bamen pitifully: "Dear Wei Bamen, you may not know that in order to get this information, I fought 1 against 5 and nearly sacrificed my life several times before I finally got this item back. Don't underestimate it because it's just a stick. In fact, this thing is very mysterious!"
Wei Bameng was attracted by her words, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? What's the secret? Tell me."
[King: Sergeant Wei Bamon is very interested in your information. Talk to him more.]
Great! Another one!
Xia Li was so excited she wanted to burst into laughter, but to maintain her steady and reliable image, she tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth, preventing them from rising. She then replied quite seriously, "As far as I know, there are only two groups of demons: the Great Axe Orcs and the Demon Hunters. The former are melee fighters armed with axes, while the latter are ranged attackers armed with bows and arrows."
All players know this information, which is posted under the column introducing the demons on the official website.
Wei Bamon nodded. "Well, this is information we knew a long time ago. And then? Aren't you going to talk about this stick?"
Xia Li smiled and said, "But did you know that the demons have a new profession?"
Wei Bamon paused and said, "You mean... this stick is their new weapon?"
Xia Li nodded seriously: "Yes, this is a weapon used exclusively by the demonic Harman orcs. You can think of it as the priest's staff commonly used by our human priests."
Wei Bameng suddenly realized: "They actually have a priest?!"
In the past few hundred years, there have been countless battles between humans and demons, and in these battles, humans have almost always won absolute victories.
There are many reasons for victory, the most important of which is that the human race has powerful priests, while the demon race does not.
There were no healing professions in the expeditionary team, so it was conceivable that the demons were the ones who suffered losses in the battle from the very beginning. In order to reduce casualties, the demons always pursued a quick victory, and the human race took advantage of this and extended the battle line infinitely every time.
The demons were defeated again and again, and finally had no choice but to withdraw from the Xia continent and migrate to the Saye continent across the sea.
At this point, the human race finally gained a foothold in the Xia continent, the royal city was established, and the human race became increasingly powerful.
Wei Bamon had not expected that the demons, who had long been unable to make any waves, were still not giving up and even created priests like them, the human race!
"This is really important news. I will send someone to report to the queen!" Wei Bamon quickly called his subordinates.
At the same time, Xia Li also received the mission reward.
