Pick up an orc

It was crazy hot, and the scorching sun hung in the sky like a blazing furnace, scorching the ground hot.The air was stagnant, there was no wind at all, and it was extremely oppressive.The heat wave is suffocating, as if a spark could make the whole world explode.

Unable to walk any longer, Lu Yuan collapsed under the shadow of the rock to pant, his whole body seemed to have been washed by water, drenched inside and out with sweat.

Compared to Lu Yuan, who was exhausted into a puddle of mud, Tuantuan was obviously energetic and not afraid of the heat. He had a lot of fun rolling around in the scorching sun.Lu Yuan, who usually seldom exercises, suddenly traveled a long distance, and his body was overwhelmed, and now his limbs were sore.

Tired and thirsty, tiredness hits like a tide.He tried his best to look sideways at the naughty Tuantuan, who was licking his paws and washing his face like a kitten.

However, the drowsiness was strong, Lu Yuan insisted on it for a while, and finally fell asleep after being overwhelmed by fatigue.Tuantuan unsteadily crawled up to his cheek, rubbing his wet nose against him.But Lu Yuan was too tired, so he didn't take care of it, turned over and continued to sleep.

Tuantuan hummed a few times, but crawled to another place without responding.

After an unknown amount of time, a gust of cool wind blew past, and Lu Yuan woke up.This deep sleep allowed him to recover a lot of energy, and now he is full of energy: "Tuantuan, it's time for us to go on the road."

Lu Yuan stood up and put on his backpack, but he couldn't find Tuantuan.

Tuantuan is gone!This shock was no small matter, Lu Yuan was sweating profusely, and searched anxiously: "Tuantuan—" His loud shout echoed in the valley for a long time.

"Woohoo!" A small cry came from behind the rock, Lu Yuan hurriedly bent down, and saw that Tuantuan was squatting in the crevice of the rock and refused to come out.

After patiently coaxing it for a long time, the little guy still refused to crawl out, stretched out his hand to grab it, and it hid inside.After observing for a while, Lu Yuan found that there was a strange thing in Tuantuan's mouth. The thing glowed emerald green and was connected with a string.The other end of the string got stuck between two stones, biting the green thing in groups and refused to let go, and was also trapped in the crevice of the stones.

Lu Yuan had no choice but to get down on his knees, try his best to stretch his arms into the crevice of the stone, feel the thin rope by feeling, and pull it out from the crevice with all his strength.After feeling that the rope was loose, Tuantuan slowly crawled out from the crevice of the rock, still holding the thing firmly in its mouth, and refused to let go.

"What makes you so reluctant, show me!" Lu Yuan was very curious about what that thing with green light was.But Tuan Tuan was determined to keep the thing in his mouth, but he didn't spit it out.Lu Yuan teased it for a long time, but it still had no effect. He wanted to pull it but was afraid of hurting the little thing: "You are not obedient at all, I don't want you!" Lu Yuan pretended to be angry, put the ball on the ground, and pretended to walk a few steps.Sure enough, the little thing became anxious when he heard his leaving footsteps, and immediately hurried after him.

"You can't understand me, right..." Lu Yuan watched in surprise as he spit out the contents of his mouth and pushed it towards him with his paws. It howled, as if worried that Lu Yuan would leave it behind. in spite of.

Seeing its pitiful appearance, Lu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, this little guy is too human.

He hugged Tuantuan and put it in the small hammock, and patted its head comfortingly, so Tuantuan immediately understood that Lu Yuan didn't intend to abandon it, and immediately burst into joy again.

Such a simple guy, Lu Yuan thought so, and picked up the bunch of things from the ground that made Tuan Tuan reluctant to let go.Seeing this item, Lu Yuan firmly believed that this continent was inhabited by humans.

Because the thing in his hand is a necklace!

The necklace is worn with a string, and in the middle are four small and three large beads made of some kind of emerald green crystal or gemstone.The gemstone glows green under the sunlight, and the pure color is like magic, as if it wants to suck people in; there are two long teeth on both sides of the gemstone, which are the canine teeth of predators.It is about seven or eight centimeters long, with a slightly curved tip, very sharp; at the end of the string, there is a wooden sign the size of a fingernail with strange patterns engraved on one side.It was this strange sign that was stuck in the crevice of the stone just now, and there was a dead knot on the other side.

Lu Yuan gestured on his chest, the length was just right, so he was sure that it was indeed a necklace.

A string of necklaces that needs to be processed, polished, drilled and strung together.This is not something that ordinary animals can do, only humans who have mastered the skills can make it.Since it was found here, it means that there are people nearby!

After a short period of excitement, Lu Yuan's heart was filled with a sense of crisis.Judging from the craftsmanship of this string of necklaces, it is not very delicate, even a bit rough.In other words, the person who made him may not be a modern human being, but an indigenous local tribe.Given the language barrier, would these native tribes treat him as an enemy or an invader?Lu Yuan couldn't help but see the barbarian images of Skull Island in the movie "King Kong".

Once caught, either killed... or eaten... or sacrificed to the gods...

And this necklace is probably not made by humans, maybe it was made by the aliens I met yesterday.

Orcs!Thinking of this name, he couldn't help shivering. Although the dead female orc didn't harm him, it didn't mean that all orcs were amiable.After thinking calmly, Lu Yuan is now more cautious than yesterday's impulse to find his companion immediately.Instead of risking being attacked to find an unknown race, he would rather struggle alone in another world.

He put away the necklace and put on his backpack, hoping to leave this area as soon as possible.

After walking less than 200 meters, the mountain gradually calmed down, and it seemed that there was a way to go down the mountain, but a few arrows stuck in the cracks of the stone attracted his attention.Those arrows were shorter than ordinary arrows, and the diamond-shaped arrowheads were shiny black, probably poisoned.Lu Yuan pulled out the arrow and observed it carefully, and found that the arrowhead was not made of metal, but was ground into a sharp shape with a shell and tied to one end of the arrow shaft.

Why use shells, don't people in this era have the ability to smelt metal?Moreover, these arrows have no arrow feathers, which will reduce the stability of the arrows and greatly reduce the lethality.

Lu Yuan looked around, except for these few arrows stuck in the crevices of the rocks, there were no other human traces.It didn't look like there had been a fight here, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly.

After walking forward for less than 1 minute, a gully was broken between the cliffs, not deep, but quite wide.

He looked down and saw a tall man lying motionless at the bottom of the ravine.Lu Yuan immediately hid his shadow behind the rock and observed quietly. The man seemed to be dead, and there was no movement at all even if a bird landed on him.

He thought about it for a while, and jumped down the slope to the bottom of the ditch a few times.

He held the knife in his hand and slowly approached the man.

The man was lying on his back on the ground with two holes in his abdomen. The time of death should have been before the rain yesterday, because the blood on his body had been washed clean.In fact, it is not accurate to say that he is a human being, just like the alien woman yesterday, he is a beastly beastman.

This male orc is at least two meters tall, and his body is very strong, with strong muscles all over his body.His appearance is very similar to that of a Caucasian, with fair skin, light golden hair, and a perfect body like the work of an ancient Greek sculptor.Although they were both orcs, the man and the female orc from yesterday were obviously not of the same race.

Instead of sheep-like horns, roll-shaped ears, or hooves, he has human-like feet.His ears were pointed on top of his head like a cat's, and his tail was long with tiger-like markings.

Lu Yuan squatted down to check his wound. This fatal wound that penetrated the abdomen was the same as the scar on the female orc's leg, and it reminded him immediately of the scimitar-like horns on the lion's face and sheep's head.

The man lay there quietly, which made Lu Yuan very sad. In just one day, he saw the death of two people.A quiver was straddled on the man's back, and there were more than a dozen arrows in it. Two short swords were pinned to the belt around his waist, and they were still in leather scabbards.

Then, Lu Yuan made a bold guess.

The female orc and the dead male orc found yesterday were companions. They were attacked by the lion-faced sheep for some reason. The man had fought with the lion-faced sheep here to protect the woman.

But the strange thing is that the dagger on his body was not pulled out, and he was killed without the slightest resistance?

Lu Yuan raised his eyes and found a crossbow on the ground not far away, he hurried over to pick it up.The crossbow is large, wooden, and looks undamaged.He pulled the bowstring, tight, a little hard for him.Thinking of the arrows on the stone walls, Lu Yuan probably guessed about seven or eight points.The man must have deliberately fled in the opposite direction to attract the attention of the lion-faced sheep, but he was caught up in the valley and attacked.

Judging from the place where he fell, he should have been killed by one blow before he had time to fight back.

Lu Yuan knelt down to untie the man's belt. Although it seemed immoral to exploit the dead, he couldn't care less about it in order to survive.And those two short swords are too precious to him, they are rare weapons.The crossbow must also be taken away, and all the arrows on the cliff will be recovered later, and nothing that can be used should be wasted!

Lu Yuan tied his belt around his waist, his quiver slung across his left shoulder, and a hammock hung on his right.Then put on the backpack, hold the wooden stick in one hand, and the crossbow in the other... Although the appearance was funny, he couldn't care less.

Tuantuan jumped down while Lu Yuan was arranging the weapon. It wrinkled its nose and sniffed, then immediately climbed onto the male orc and howled.It rubbed against the man's already cold body intimately, and licked his face with its tiny tongue, as if it wanted to wake up the man...
