After the night darkened, the noisy troll village gradually quieted down.
Just as the trolls were returning to their simple stilt houses to rest, three pairs of eyes lit up in the bushes on the fence around the village. One pair of eyes has a strange yin-yang fish pattern and a silver-white dial, which obviously belong to Qin Lun, and the owners of the other two pairs of eyes are Mustasia and the thief Lago.
The three cooperated tacitly in reconnaissance. Qin Lun's eyes were comparable to eagles, Mustasia had rich experience in adventures, and the thief Lago was in charge of eliminating the warning traps near the troll village.
Perhaps because the trolls have enjoyed a peaceful life in the Troll's Claw Mountains for so long, their vigilance is extremely poor. Except for a tall fence wall and two sentry towers at the gate of the village, there are almost no other defensive measures in the whole village.
As time passed, the troll sentinels on the two guard towers soon snored loudly and fell into a deep sleep.
In fact, after Qin Lun and his party walked out of the eight-eyed spider's lair, they seemed to have washed away their bad luck, and they didn't encounter any trouble along the way. Although Elistin and the others had been captured by the trolls for nearly a month, the trolls hadn't cleared up the battle traces left in the valley at all, allowing Mustasha to follow the clues to find the troll village.
"Before I save people, let me say it again. Compared with other large intelligent races, trolls may be the least vigilant among them, but they are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, almost as much as sharks, so even if If there was an accident after entering the village, try not to see blood."
Mustaxia lowered her voice and said, "On this cool night, the trolls sleep very deeply. Even if they shout loudly, there are only a limited number of people to startle them. But if they see blood, the trolls in the entire village will be awakened." .”
"Then what should we do? Knock them out?" Lago muttered with a constipated face, "This job should be done by the captain, don't you know that brother is a thief?"
"Rick's speed is too slow. After saving people, we have to escape as soon as possible. It's better for him to wait in front with the others." Qin Lun waved his hand with a smile.
In fact, compared to saving people, they still have a bigger problem to solve, that is, how to escape from the troll's claws after saving people. Mustasia said earlier that there are only two entrances to the Troll's Claw, one is the north of the Land of the Dead, and the other is the Winding River.
At the entrance of the Winding River into the Troll's Claw, there are three waterfalls with huge drops. Qin Lun and others have no choice but to enter or exit here. As for the entrance to the Land of the Dead, you can go out, but you must swim across the lake where the ghost-faced squid is located.
Today is different from the past. When they passed the lake, the ghost-faced squid only regarded them as prey, but now it is different. The sea giants suffered a great loss from them. If they saw this group of enemies again, they would definitely chase them to death, and Qin Lun and the others only had that one, the ninth-level fire magic—Meteor Fall.
Naturally, no one would do this kind of death without life. However, the entrance is not exactly equal to the exit. In fact, there is another exit from Troll's Claw to the outside world, which is also a meandering river.
After the Winding River flows into the Troll's Claw, when it reaches the center of the mountain range, it will turn at a nearly ninety-degree right angle, then divert northward, and flow out of the Troll's Claw again.
Of course, there is also a waterfall at the exit where the meandering river exits the Troll's Claw, but compared with the entrance to the west, the drop of this waterfall is half less, only about fifty or sixty meters.
The waterfall drop of fifty or sixty meters is a natural moat for ordinary people. Falling on the water from the top of a waterfall is not much different from falling on a hard rock.
Qin Lun and the others may not necessarily die after adding the levitation technique. However, Xi Funa in the team is absolutely dead, and has no chance of surviving.
Fortunately, Qin Lun and the others have a trump card that they haven't got yet, and that is the elf druid in the form of a giant eagle—Elisten.
Therefore, if Elisteen is rescued now, everyone's chances of getting out of the troll's claws are at least more than half sure. If the elf druid hadn't been rescued, everyone might have been buried here.
Qin Lun and the others took advantage of the night to climb over the tall wooden pile fence, and the two sentry towers set up at the entrance of the village by the troll basically did not play their due role.
"It stinks!" As soon as they entered the troll village, a strong stench first attacked the three people's sense of smell, almost making them want to vomit.
The trolls don't have good hygienic habits, and the village doesn't have special staff to clean up the excrement and food residue left by daily life. Most of their food is meat. The rancid smell and the smell of excrement are simply indescribable. Perhaps this is the biggest challenge for everyone to rescue their companions tonight!
Of course, this is not to say that the trolls themselves can endure the increasing garbage and excrement in the village for a long time. As a race with human-like intelligence, they sometimes have to clean up these things for the health of their cubs and the old and weak. dirt.
However, most of the trolls are lazy, and the way they improve their living environment, in the eyes of humans and elves, is simply crazy to the extreme.
The cleaning work of the troll village is actually not done by the trolls themselves. It is not so much cleaning up as it is letting nature take its course. Whenever the amount of trash and filth in a village becomes unbearable, the trolls start moving.
Of course, this does not refer to relocating the village to a distant place, but follows the principle of relocating nearby. The mountains where the trolls live rarely have a large flat open space, and they are huge in size, so naturally they cannot find a suitable place to live at any time.
What's more, relocating the entire village at once requires a huge amount of work, which lazy trolls won't like. So they took what they thought was a very clever approach.
When the trolls need to change places, they will move the useful things in the village to the other side of the fence, and then surround the other three sides to form another village.
Therefore, the structure of the troll village is often "Tian Zi", and whenever a grid of the "Tian Zi" can no longer be used, they will change a grid. There are not many things they need to relocate, mainly the stilt houses they live in, and some stored Warcraft furs.
The trolls made the stilt houses that way, one reason is to prevent poisonous insects, and the other reason is to facilitate relocation. What trolls lack most is strength. Four or five trolls can carry a stilt house on their shoulders to change places. It's not far away anyway, isn't it!
Troll villages don't carry trash and filth to their new homes, and the other thing they can't move is semi-permanent fire pits. However, this thing is still useful when they move back later, so it doesn't matter.
The old troll village. After the trolls moved next door, the troll shaman would pour some kind of yeast-like viscous liquid all over the village. This kind of thing will attract all kinds of scavengers to come, and then help the troll tribe clean up all the garbage residue for free.
In fact, when these rubbish residues are cleared, the land will soon be covered with all kinds of shrubs, and the land is too fertile.
When the trolls move back again, they will use some crude tools to plow the bushes here again. On the one hand, it is to clean up the weeds of the shrubs, and on the other hand, it can also obtain some additional harvests, such as ripe shrub roots and fruits.
This is also a way for the trolls to improve their food. They are omnivorous creatures, and their staple food is meat, but they don't rule out eating vegetarian food occasionally. Especially during a big dinner, a small amount of plant fruit for seasoning is also essential.
"Elisten, look quickly, it seems that outsiders have sneaked into the troll camp." A slight greeting came from the darkness, and Idriya was the first to discover Lago who had sneaked in.
"What?" Elistin, who was closing his eyes and adjusting his breath, opened his eyes in surprise, and looked down the cage with silver eyes.
"It's Feral, Feral is here to save us!" Upon seeing it, the Elf Druid was shocked, his beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, and a layer of tears gradually appeared in his eyes. "I knew it, I knew he wouldn't leave me alone..."
"Feral?" Hearing Elisine's slightly choked voice, the female knight of Lauvita was slightly taken aback, and said disdainfully, "Che, that guy has been hiding for so long for no reason, so he just came out to pretend to be a prince now?" Is it... Huh, it seems to be really him?"
Under the bright moonlight, even though Idriya did not have the night vision ability of an elf, she could still see the eye-catching silver hair of the moon elf. Perhaps sensing the gaze from the two beauties above his head, Qin Lun raised his head, grinned silently, and his flawless white teeth gleamed under the moonlight.
Amidst the faint sound of insects, Lago nimbly climbed up the flagpole where the troll hung a row of bamboo cages. It is said to be a flagpole, but in fact, to a human-sized thief, it is more like a big tree. There are still branches and roots that the trolls haven't cleaned up on it, which is very convenient for climbing.
And the crude binding ropes at the mouth of the bamboo cage are even more difficult for nimble thieves. In fact, this measure to restrict the escape of prisoners was useless at all. After resting in the troll camp for so long, both Elistine and Idriya were able to escape.
Rather than saying that the bamboo cages trapped them, it would be better to say that their unhealed weakness prevented them from escaping. At the same time, escaping from the troll camp is very simple, but with their physical strength, escaping from the troll's claws is as difficult as heaven.
What's more, there is an ordinary old man Mason among them. Elistin and Idriya planned to leave, but they didn't want to escape, they just didn't want to be eaten by the trolls as food.
The trolls made the cage so simple, on the one hand, they are lazy by nature, and on the other hand, it is also because of the special geographical environment of the troll's claw. They regard the escape behavior of captives as exercise to help digestion.
