After their vision swayed slightly, it became clear again. They had come to a large room. Facing it was a nine-step platform made of piled bones. On the platform was a throne, and a young human was sitting on it.
On both sides of the platform, there were twenty black warriors standing in two rows, as if they were displaying heavy armor.
Looking at the human on the throne, the four orcs were a little confused. They had guessed that the other party's leader should also be a skeleton. After all, all they saw along the way were either bones or skeletons. The only thing they couldn't see clearly was the heavy armor.
I never expected that he was just an ordinary human being.
Li Ziyu looked down at the orcs below and waved, "Come forward."
He spoke softly, but due to the magical effect of the cemetery, the orcs could hear him clearly, as if someone was speaking in their ear.
The four orcs hesitated for a moment and then walked to the bottom of the platform. The three gorilla orcs stretched out their right hands, pounded their chests hard, and saluted Li Ziyu, while the leopard girl stood quietly, without any sign of saluting, but with eyes full of curiosity.
Li Ziyu didn't care about the formalities, but asked directly, "Are you creatures from this world?"
The gorilla orcs shook their heads and said seriously, "We are not creatures of this world, but our tribe does exist in this world. Our tribe is prosperous and powerful, and we have powerful warriors."
As he was talking, the two quiet gorilla orcs next to him began to inhale continuously, making a "roar, roar, roar" sound, as if they were accompanying their talking companion. Li Ziyu was stunned by the sight. What's going on? Is it such a big deal that they need background music?
However, he also understood what the gorilla orc meant. It was just reporting the number. The hidden meaning was "Even though you have captured us, you'd better let us go quickly. We have people behind us, and they are very strong. If you don't let us go, we will find someone to beat you up." Isn't that what it means?
Li Ziyu raised the corner of his mouth with some disdain. "Will threatening me be useful? If you want to kill me, you have to at least find me. I have such a big fortress. If you can't beat me, can't you just run away?"
He is ugly, has a fancy mind, and talks nonsense.
You can't spoil a thing like this too much, so Li Ziyu leaned back, looking lazy, and asked curiously, "What kind of orcs are you? Gorilla orcs? I remember orcs were all in human form, but why are you still gorillas? Haven't you evolved yet?"
After hearing this, the three gorilla orcs immediately became furious, roaring continuously and shouting at Li Ziyu, "How dare you humiliate us! We are envoys, do you want to start a war? We, the ape people, will never admit defeat! Come on, kill us!"
"Shut up!" Li Ziyu was annoyed by the noise. His cold voice echoed in the empty room, causing the orcs' eardrums to hurt and they all shut up. Li Ziyu then continued, "You must understand clearly that you are not envoys, but captives, my captives. You must answer whatever I ask you. I don't like to keep useless people around."
In one sentence, the apes realized that they had to bow their heads when they were under someone else's roof. If they didn't want to die, they could just express their anger. Only by behaving honestly could they survive and have a chance to be rescued by their tribesmen.
