The Ninety-Sixth Chapter Fire Demon and Human (2)

Pete waited until the two huge red monsters with snake tails and the two calf-sized flame dogs had gone far away, and finally came back to his senses, staring blankly at those red monsters, his head full of disbelief! These monsters, they don't kill people?

He didn't know why these two vicious-looking monsters didn't come to kill him after killing the undead. For this point, he himself is very puzzled! Because when these two monsters just spoke, they didn't use the common language of human beings, so Pete had no idea what they were discussing just now, it was a very weird language!

However, he was always happy that he was able to survive by chance. No one would want to die if he could survive. Of course, Pete wanted to continue to live!

So, after remembering that his sister Lana was still weakly lying in the cave waiting for him, he quickly broke free from the entanglement of the branches and leaves of the fallen trees, and quickly got up from the ground, regardless of the pain and bleeding on his body After grabbing the big sack he left before he climbed up the tree, he ran back to the dense forest along the way he came.

"Who? Ah, Pete? You're finally back. Where were you? Are you...?"

When Pete returned to the cave where the two siblings lived, his sister Lana was leaning weakly against the rock wall at the entrance of the cave, holding a wooden stick. When she saw her brother came back , a gentle smile finally appeared on her pale and tired face.

"Sister! Why are you up! Come in quickly, and look, what I brought back for you! There are cheese, bread, and a large piece of smoked venison leg!"

After Pete stepped forward and helped his sister back to sit on the pile of dead leaves in the cave, he excitedly took out a lot of food from the package he brought back as if offering a treasure. He believed that, With these things, his sister will definitely get better slowly.

"This is? Pete, you..., you actually went outside?" The first time she saw the food, Lana was not happy because of the abundance of food, but looked at her younger brother in surprise.

How dangerous is the outside of the dense forest? Lana knows it well in her heart. The outside is full of minions of the undead, not to mention the younger brother with a small axe. Even a strong soldier may not be the opponent of those undead. !

She never thought that her younger brother Pete would risk such a big risk to find food for her without telling her. If he was accidentally caught by those undead, then he..., thinking of this, Lana's Tears welled up all at once.

"Peter, don't you know how dangerous it is outside? My sister doesn't need you to do this. My sister just hopes that you can live well and live well!" While sobbing, Lana stretched out her hand to caress her little brother Pete's skin. The scratched cheek finally couldn't help crying softly.

"Sister, you should eat something first."

Pete didn't dare to talk bravely, so he chopped two pieces of hard bread and a piece of cheese with the small ax and stuffed them into his sister's hands. As for the deer leg, he had no other choice for the time being, unless they could find something to start the fire. Another pot can be found, otherwise, the two siblings will have to eat raw!

"Peter, please promise my sister, don't take the risk of going out again. If we save a little for these things, maybe after a while, our Lordaeron army will come back and take all those evil undead. Dare to run!"

Lana only took a piece of bread, and then broke off a small piece of cheese. She was going to put the rest back into the sack for careful storage. In this way, the two siblings can persist in this relatively safe cave for a long time, and my younger brother will not have to go out to take risks to find food.

"Okay, sister, I'll listen to you!" After being silent for a while, Pete finally nodded,

It's like agreeing to my sister, with these things now, they really don't have to go out to find food in the near future.

However, there was always an unsolvable doubt in his heart. He didn't know why the huge basilisk-like red monster and flame dog suddenly appeared outside? And they are still cleaning up the undead? What puzzled him even more was why they didn't kill themselves just now?

This is where Pete is most puzzled. Looking at their ferocious and evil looks, you can tell that they are not good monsters just by looking at them, right? Then, why did they let themselves go after killing the undead? What exactly is this for?

Regarding this point, in the head of Pete, a stubborn boy with little experience in the world, he couldn't figure it out! How could there be such a good creature in the world of Azeroth that doesn't kill people? Pete believed that if he alone dared to wander alone by the river or the seaside, those weak murlocs would be able to cook their skin and cramps in less than a quarter of an hour!

After the two ate something in silence, the careful elder sister, Lana, finally noticed the abnormality of her younger brother. He seemed to be thinking about something on his mind, and he always looked sullen.

"What's the matter, Pete? What were you thinking?"

"Well..., sister, there is something, I think it's better to tell you! Just now, when I went out to find food, I was actually discovered by a group of undead. At that time, I thought I was going to die! Then, I used the most I climbed up a tree at a fast speed, you know, I climb the tree the fastest, no one can compare to me." Pete thought for a while, and decided to speed up his own experience. His older sister Lana, if he doesn't express his doubts, he won't be able to sleep.

"What! What's the matter? Pete, you, are you injured?" Hearing that her brother said that she encountered an undead, Lana didn't even bother to eat, and hurried forward to check her brother's body.

The end of being scratched by the undead is very miserable. You will be slowly tortured to death by those highly poisonous plagues, and finally you will become a member of the undead! This kind of situation has been seen a lot during the days when Lana and her brother fled! She couldn't even imagine, what would she do if her younger brother, Pete, wanted to become that kind of monster?

"No, I wasn't bitten by the undead. It's just that the big tree was accidentally scratched a few times when the undead knocked it down. It's a small injury. It really wasn't bitten by the undead. Don't worry, sister!" Seeing that Lana's sister still wanted to support her weak body to check herself, Pete hurriedly comforted her.

"Then how did you come back? Those undead... didn't they chase you?"

This is why Lana couldn't help being afraid for a while. She didn't even think that her brother had encountered such a great danger just now, and was blocked by a group of undead in a tree. Wouldn't he almost die?

Climbing up a tree will always lead to a dead end. She has seen it before. It doesn't take long for those ferocious undead walking on all fours to gnaw down a big tree hugged by two people! Even those dull skeletons and zombies can stay under the tree forever until you starve to death on it or you can't stand it and run down!

"I'm still wondering! When the big tree fell, I already felt that I was finished! I was going to die! But I would never have thought that when the tree just fell, and I was entangled in the branches At that time, a group of more powerful monsters rushed over, and killed all the undead in two or three hits!" Pete began to talk excitedly, what happened to him just now was too bizarre.

"Another group of monsters? Then..., did they not find you? Then, you sneaked back while they were not paying attention?" Lana's face slowly improved when she heard that a group of monsters stronger than undead appeared again. It started to turn pale again.

"No! They had discovered me at that time! You don't know, they have red skin, snake-like tails, stand upright almost as tall as a small house, and have long scary bone spurs on their bodies, making them look tall Strong!" Pete began to describe what he saw at the time.

"By the way! I also noticed that they were carrying two dogs as big as calves! Those were not ordinary dogs, as if they were all made of magma. Their entire bodies looked like red-hot irons. , and they were still blazing, they looked fierce! But, for some reason, they didn’t seem to attack me at that time....” Pete has always been very strange about this.

"A big red snake-tailed monster? A big red dog like magma? Then how could they not attack you? They don't sound like righteous creatures, do they?"

Lana is just a little girl who grew up on a farm, and she doesn't know what kind of monster Pete is talking about. She is just scared by Pete's words now! Look, it's even worse now! Not long after the undead came, now a group of even more terrifying monsters came. What happened to their Lordaeron kingdom?

correct! She also heard that there were orcs quarreling with orcs more than ten years ago, but Lana, who is only fourteen years old now, doesn't know much about the orcs back then. All gone! For this reason, the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron at that time was still busy for a long time, and even asked all the farms to increase taxes to subsidize the military expenses for hunting orc fugitives!

"Actually, it's not that I haven't been attacked. At the beginning, there was indeed a big red basilisk that wanted to attack me. The long sword weapon in its hand was at least taller than me, and the sword was still shining. The red rune must be the magic weapon in the legend. It was ready to be chopped off at that time. At that time, I thought I was dead! However, for some reason, its companion suddenly shot to stop it. It’s the same big snake-tailed monster that looks exactly the same.”

Thinking of this, Pete still has lingering fears! At that moment, he almost thought he was going to die, the knife was almost as big as half of the door panel, if it was really chopped off with one knife, would it still be worth it? Those undead were cut into pieces by them in two strokes. He didn't think he would be more resistant to cutting than those evil undead.

"Then, they... just let you come back like this?" Lana also felt a little unbelievable, this kind of monster that sounds scary, they let her brother go like this? Could it be that they are holy light creatures?

"I'm still wondering now! Anyway, after they muttered for a while, they walked away and ignored me. They didn't speak a common language at the time, and I didn't know what they were talking about. So, after seeing them walking away, I quickly picked up the sack and ran back."

After the two siblings were silent for a while, Pete suddenly thought of something, and then he said to his sister Lana: "Sister! How about I go out tomorrow to have a look? We can't hide here all the time If we encounter a beast like a big spider or a lynx, we will definitely not be able to fight it!"

"No! Pete, I won't let you run out alone again! If you are going tomorrow, then I will follow along!"

Lana, a little village girl who is only fourteen years old now, is also a little unsure about the new monsters that have appeared. But when she thought about it, since they didn't attack his younger brother just now, it shouldn't be too bad, right?

Perhaps, tomorrow, the two siblings can go out to find out the situation? If they really don't attack humans, then the two of us can live in the big house of those woodcutters? Then stop worrying about those evil undead all day long? Anyway, you should try it out!

"Okay! Then let's go out and have a look together after dawn tomorrow!" Pete thought for a while, nodded and agreed with his sister's suggestion. He was also a little uneasy about leaving his sister Lana behind and let her continue to stay in this cave alone. .

…………..

John is not only a veteran who has experienced two orc wars, but also a second lieutenant on duty at the Eastern Watchtower of Lordaeron, belonging to the Eastern Defense Corps!

He has served in the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron since the beginning of the First Orc War. He is now in his fifties. Relying on the large number of military exploits he made in the fight against the orcs. He managed to get into the easy job of the sentry tower garrison officer. In this way, he worked for more than ten years, from an uncle in his thirties to a veteran in his fifties!

In the past ten years, his treatment and his military rank have never been promoted. It seems that the big bosses in the army have forgotten that there is such a man who can recruit and fight well!

In fact, if you think about it, this is not too strange! After all, Old John is just a mud leg who got up from the soldiers by virtue of his military exploits! He has no power, no power, and no background! Those aristocratic gentlemen with eyes above the top, how could they care about the life and death of a soldier like him?

Looking at the human side of the Azeroth World Alliance, among those paladins or legendary heroes who can eventually become the bosses of one side, which one is not from a prominent background? Which one doesn't have a profound history? As for the mud-legged John who still wants to get ahead in the league? Stop dreaming!

If it weren't for his old John's military exploits, which made others feel scruples, he might have been pushed down as a duty officer long ago! Still want to move up? Not to mention doors, there are no windows! If there were no accidents, he could only stay in the position of the garrison officer honestly, squatting until he grows old, until he dies!

Regarding this, Old John also probably knew something about it, so he has been hanging around in this position peacefully. Why do you go. He also accepted his fate, and planned to stay in this sentry tower like this until the day he died of old age. Anyway, his treatment is not too bad, and it is better than his dead comrades!

Originally, there was almost no war here, and it was not a front-line area. No one would think of replacing him as an old veteran. Therefore, he usually led his twenty boys to kill wandering wild animals, or molested them. Looking at the little girls in the nearby villages, they don't seem to have any legitimate things to do except to take advantage of verbal advantages. They are also very satisfied with this leisurely life as a soldier.

But sometimes, fate will always play some clumsy jokes with you when you accept your fate! Like all the people of Lordaeron, Old John's peaceful military life was soon broken by the sudden attack of the undead Scourge!

Just a few days ago, when Old John saw a group of huge undead preparing to attack his sentry tower, he didn't say a word, and before the undead were about to close up, he directly led twenty stick boys under his command to burn it. Run after the sentry tower! He, Old John, wouldn't be so stupid that he wanted to defend the guard tower with twenty people to defend against the attack of thousands of undead!

When escaping, Old John was prepared to break out of the heavy encirclement, so how could he have thought that along the way, they surprisingly did not encounter more than ten figures of undead, and those scattered ghouls or zombies How could the skeleton be the opponent of the 20-man armored infantry squad brought out by him, a veteran?

So, in this way, in the next few days, they fought and killed all the way, collecting the refugees they encountered while cleaning up the scattered undead monsters. They are going to lead the team to the Holy Light's Hope Chapel or the Hand of Tyr, because Old John got news from the refugees. It is said that in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, there are only two places that have not been destroyed The undead broke through.

Maybe it's the end of good luck, maybe it's because the old Johns gathered too many refugees and their goals are too big! So, when they were about to lead the team around the source of Blackwood Lake and go south to the cathedral, they were followed by a team of thousands of undead!

Those undead still blocked them back and forth cunningly, no matter if they continued to go east or west, it was already a dead end. In addition to the big river blocking the way in the south, there were not many options left for them.

"Sergeant Jude! Quickly, go north! You take the refugees to the logging camp in the Grand Canyon Forest! The rest of us try to delay you for a while. If we can't hold on, we will retreat, you Don't let the undead catch up with you!"

Now, apart from transporting the loggers' transport channel along the mountain pass directly into the Grand Canyon, John has no other way, so he can hide for a while! So, he hurriedly ordered to his deputy! This is actually his fault. There are too many refugees gathered, there are hundreds of them. If the undead don't come to block him, who will block him?

What makes old John feel lucky now is that most of the undead in front of him are zombies and skeletons that run relatively slowly. He didn't see a few of those ferocious ghouls! Otherwise, they might not even have a chance to escape. A running ghoul would not be much slower than a war horse!

"Okay, boss! Then we will run away first! You must not die!"

Jude responded loudly, and quickly turned around to call out to the refugee gates. Hundreds of people started to follow him and ran straight to the mountain pass in the north.

"Come on, damned undead scum! Come to your Uncle John! I will definitely chop off your heads!"

While shouting loudly, John commanded the remaining 19 brothers under his command to form a neat battle line, while slowly retreating, keeping a distance from the undead brigade, while being ready to use their shields to resist the undead at any time Their attack, and then, at an appropriate time, cut off the head of a zombie or skeleton with a sword!

In Old John's view, these undead natural disasters are far from the orcs! The orcs are violent, majestic and powerful, generally a head taller than human soldiers, and even twice the weight of human soldiers! During the Second World War, they fought so hard!

But now, the slow-moving, unconscious, and stiff-moving zombies and skeletons in front of them are completely useless except for their large number! If it's one-on-one, he, John, promises to fight a thousand! If it weren't for his advanced age, whether it is physical strength and physical reaction, he had already started to fall from the level of elite fighters, this number would have at least doubled!

"Brothers! That's it, keep your distance, don't face too many undead at the same time, hold on to your shields, remember! Never directly resist, pay attention to the technique of unloading force, otherwise, your left arm may be broken It was interrupted by the undead! Then, pay attention to the timing, and use your daggers to sever their heads! Just like this!"

During the interval of speaking, Old John swung the long sword in his right hand nimbly, and chopped off the head of another skeleton. By the way, he also used a shield to help a brother next to him smash into the air a zombie that was about to attack.

"Be careful! Line up in a row, back slowly, and never lean in front alone! Be careful to cooperate with each other for cover!"

Just like that, the twenty Lordaeron soldiers lined up in a neat row, holding the Lordaeron emblem shield and the single-handed long sword in the right hand, slowly backing away to spread out the battle lines of the undead. On the mountain road leading to the big forest farm, grasping the rhythm, he beat a group of thoughtless undead without temper.

When the veteran John was playing vigorously, he suddenly discovered that Sergeant Jude, who was supposed to lead the refugee gate to the forest farm gorge just now, led the refugee gate and ran back! What are they going to do? I have already fought very hard on my side. If the undead didn't send ghouls or abominations up, their thin individual front would have been defeated long ago!

"Bastard! Damn Jude! Why are you back again? Do you want to die? If you want to die, I will give you a knife right away!" Old John began to curse angrily. He ran back again!

"Boss! I don't want to either! Because a more ruthless one ran out of it! I'm also desperate!"

Leading the hundreds of refugees who were huddled together and unable to advance or retreat, Jude's left hand holding the shield began to tremble. If the one inside was an undead, he still had the courage to fight a few times. Even if he died, he could Pull a few backs for yourself! However, facing that big guy in the canyon, he couldn't muster up the courage to resist at all! People don't need to fight with him, just step down casually, and it is estimated that Jude can be crushed directly!

While talking to Sergeant Jude, Old John also began to feel rhythmic vibrations from the ground, as if... was caused by the footsteps of some huge creature? By the light! How big does it have to be to create such a moving thing?

...

The lava giant Otuk is the only lava giant in this canyon. If it hadn't secretly bribed Shannox, it probably wouldn't have been among the first batch of fire elementals here. Altok's share! In this regard, it has been very proud!

Alturk's brains have always been very good, it is a different lava fire elemental! The strength is also very strong, and it is only a few thousand years old now, and it has almost reached the strength of the Molten Lord.

Of course, no matter what, he is definitely not as good as Lord Leolis in the Land of Fire, but he is definitely more powerful than some other small fire elemental lords of the same level, because of his size so big!

Based on its size alone, even if those little Balrogs or earth dogs of the same level had a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to single out Altok! After all, apart from hand-to-hand combat, the fire elementals don't have many means to deal with opponents who are also fire elementals. Is it possible to set fire to each other? Do not make jokes!

After coming out of the portal in the afternoon, Otuck originally planned to do a little favor for Mr. Shannox, show his face in front of the leader, and gain some impression points. It's a pity that the work of the fire demons doesn't seem to need the help of its big man, so it can only do this now, wandering aimlessly in the Grand Canyon and watching the scenery.

After the Fire Demons were dispersed into dozens of groups to explore and sweep the entire Grand Canyon, Altok didn't even have a chance to find some undead hands and feet! Therefore, it had no choice but to wander around along the road.

Strolling around, it quickly reached the exit of the Grand Canyon, after all, its footsteps are big! So, Altok ran into the group of hundreds of human beings who were going to run in at once!

At first, Altok thought those were undead, but when he was about to fight, he suddenly realized that the opponents were a group of living people, not the kind of brainless undead he had seen before! Because when they saw it, they immediately screamed in fright, and turned around and ran away in a panic!

Autuk was very puzzled by this. After seeing that they were alive, he didn't intend to continue attacking them, so why are they running now?

Suffering from not knowing the lingua franca of Azeroth for the time being, Altok could only continue to follow behind their team, and walked out of the canyon. It wanted to stop them and express to them Kindness, it wants them to know that I don't actually mean to hurt them.

It's a pity that this group of human beings who don't seem to be half the height of Altok's knee can run so fast when they run! It has been chasing for a long time, but it has not been able to catch up with them!

"Oh? What did I see? A large group of undead? Well, Altok can attack..."

When it came out with the group of humans, it unexpectedly found a lot of undead fighting with the living people. This was really a good thing for Otuk who had nothing to do for the time being. information.

So, Altok rushed forward a few steps, passed the huddled living people, and at the same time exploded the power of the flames in his body, making himself bigger, before raising his right foot, Stepping hard on the heads of the undead, it will launch its large-scale skill - Lava Spike!

"Mountain...Mountain...Get up..."
