Chen Rui didn't bloodbath the Strong Mammoth tribe, but used the means of the Winter Realm to temporarily incapacitate those orcs, so as not to catch up with Coradiva's caravan and vent their anger.
Coradiva's trip was not in vain. When Chen Rui interrogated a few orcs, the businessman got some of the medicinal materials he wanted by taking advantage of the power of the "elf powerhouse". Being smart, he was not too greedy and kept the goods he brought.
After Chen Rui's interrogation, Coradiva quickly completed the exchange and loading and unloading. The timing was just right, and finally he left the Zhuang Ma tribe with Chen Rui.
In order to express his gratitude, Coradiva gave Chen Rui a hand-painted detailed map of the original nightmare. Compared with the one given by Michelle, this map can only be regarded as a fool, but in terms of practical value, it is ten times stronger. The various areas and passages are marked in detail on the map, as well as the tribes and dangers that may be encountered.
With this map, combined with the magic map of the elves and some news from the orc captives, Chen Rui was able to rush to the Thunderstorm Tribe as quickly as possible.
It is very likely that Blanche has been sent to the Swamp of Doom, but just in case, it is better to go to the Thunderstorm Tribe first, because the Thunderstorm Tribe and the Swamp of Doom are both in the same direction, and the former is the only way to the latter road.
The Thunderstorm Tribe is the most powerful orc tribe in the Realm of Nightmare. It is said that they have the royal blood of the Orc Empire back then, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
The terrain of the plain allowed Baifeng to maximize his speed. With the help of the map, Chen Rui reached Youhe where the Thunderstorm Tribe was located in only five days.
The You River is the largest river in the Plains of Nightmare. It belongs to the standard plain river type. The valley is wide and the gradient of the river bed is small. The naturally cut and curved river channel forms strange lakes of different sizes.
The Thunderstorm Tribe is located beside these lakes with lush water and grass. The overall distribution is relatively scattered, occupying the most fertile land in the entire wilderness. This area is said to have been the capital of the Orc Empire, and you can see some ruins and ruins along the way.
It was nightfall when Chen Rui arrived. Judging from the distribution range of lights and bonfires, the camp of the Thunderstorm Tribe was much larger than that of the Strong Mammoth Tribe. According to visual estimates, the total number of tribesmen was more than 50,000.
For an orc tribe that even women have strong fighting power, this is quite a huge force.
Chen Rui placed Baifeng in the bushes far away, and under the cover of night, he bypassed the guards on the outside and sneaked into the camp.
The temperature difference between night and day in the Nightmare Field was huge. In the camp, a large group of orcs gathered around a bunch of bonfires, set up pots, drank the rare wine in the field, and chewed the food they got. The tribal system of the orcs is somewhat close to the primitive tribe in Chen Rui's impression, but it is not completely a big pot or public ownership. The braver and stronger people can get more food and women, on the contrary, those who have no contribution and incompetence will be expelled from the tribe. Where there is competition, there will naturally be progress. This is also natural selection. It is by no means a fluke that the orc tribes have been able to survive after the empire collapsed.
After a few glasses of wine, the heads of the orcs began to heat up. Some bragged in front of the female orcs, saying how many monsters they had bravely defeated, and some began to beat drums made of animal skins. Go to the clearing to wrestle.
There is a lot of space in this area, so it's inconvenient to hide. With a thought, Chen Rui used his camouflage and breath-holding skills, turned into a medium-sized orc, walked over swaggeringly, and sat down in the crowd. The surrounding area is noisy, and no one suspects it.
Chen Rui's nose twitched, and his attention turned to the orc's wine bowl. Naturally, what he paid attention to was not the bone bowl made of monster skulls, but the purple wine in the bowl. The aroma of this wine is very mellow, and it seems a little familiar.
With a thought, Chen Rui got an extra metal bowl in his hand. He came to the big wine barrel, took a bowl, tasted it in his mouth, and frowned. This is actually the famous purple wine in the human world. Star City has tasted it, and the quality of these wines is quite high, definitely not brewed by the orcs themselves.
While thinking about it, a plump female orc who was drinking came over and gave him a "wink": "You are not from Beiying, right? This is the first time I see you."
"En." Afraid of revealing his identity, Chen Rui nodded, drank wine and went to a corner to sit down, pretending to watch the wrestling.
Unexpectedly, the female orc followed: "My name is Xiaocha, what's your name?"
"I... My name is Henk." Chen Rui rudely borrowed the name of the leader of the Zhuang Ma tribe.
Seeing that his wine was almost finished, Xiaocha went over and brought a small bucket and filled it up for him: "Henke, I'll buy you a drink, can you give me that bowl?"
It turned out that Chen Rui took a fancy to this thing, and Chen Rui looked at the metal bowl in his hand, and handed it over: "Okay."
"That's great!" Xiaocha took the bowl with bright eyes, and rubbed his sleeves, only to find that it was shiny and delicate, and couldn't help being overjoyed, and got closer to him a lot.
Chen Rui only felt a strong body odor piercing his nostrils, and almost fainted, but the girl Xiaocha who didn't realize it was still rubbing her body against his arm, looking affectionate.
Student Henk groaned inwardly, turning into an orc casually was actually taken by the female orc. Suddenly his heart moved, he poured a bowl of wine for Xiaocha with a small bucket, and said: "This wine is really delicious."
"Of course!" Xiaocha downed it in one breath, "Although those humans are weak, the wine they make is much better than ours!"
Seeing that Xiaocha was a little drunk, Chen Rui tentatively asked, "Where did these wines come from?"
Xiaocha hiccupped: "Isn't it from the group of human businessmen that were captured...?"
"By the way, I drank some wine, but I actually forgot." Chen Rui patted his head in a beastly manner, and poured wine for Xiao Cha graciously.
"Are those people still there?"
"It's closed in the dungeon of the central king's tent..." Xiaocha's wine obviously started to rise, and he hugged Chen Ruizhi, "Come on, let's go to the tent..."
Chen Rui gave way lightly, and Xiao Cha jumped into the air, supported by him, and asked in a low voice: "Where's the half-elf who offered a reward?"
"The half-elf is in... the dungeon..." Xiaocha said inarticulately, grabbed Chen Rui's hand and touched his chest, "My tent is..."
dungeon? Blanche is still here? Chen Rui's eyes lit up immediately.
"Bastard! Stay away from my little fork!" A roaring voice sounded, and a tall and strong orc rushed over. Chen Rui clearly sensed the action that the orc was about to make in his consciousness, and his heart Think about it, and don't resist.
The tall orc grabbed Chen Rui's neck, picked up his whole body, and threw it far away with a strong force.
"Let me see you approaching her again in the future, and I'll break your neck!" The tall orc looked at Chen Rui who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and said viciously.
"Rett! Rhett!" The nearby orcs raised their hands and laughed loudly.
Listening to the surrounding words, it seems that "Xiaocha" is one of the best beauties in Beiying, and Chen Rui has to admire the strange aesthetics of the orcs. Reiter thumped Chen Rui's chest in a demonstrative manner, picked up his little fork and strode towards the tent, needless to say, there will be thunderous explosions next...
Chen Rui didn't dare to imagine such a heavy-tasting scene, and secretly wished the two of them a happy relationship for a hundred years, pretended to get up dejectedly, and left this area very naturally as a loser amidst the ridicule of the orcs.
After several twists and turns, Chen Rui finally touched the area around the central king's tent. Here you can see the obvious palace buildings, most of which are dilapidated, and they are probably the ruins of the imperial palace of the orc empire.
The terrain here is much more complicated than imagined, and the guards are quite strict. The first place is next to each other, which seems to be well-trained. It is not comparable to the disorderly orcs I saw before. It seems that they are all elite.
After groping for a while, Chen Rui finally found the location of the dungeon, which was more like the entrance of an underground cave, guarded by a group of strong orcs with weapons.
These orcs didn't realize that an invisible figure had entered the gate silently. Chen Rui sneaked all the way down. This tunnel is very long, after turning a few corners, I finally found the prison. The gate of the prison has long been broken and unusable. There are two soldiers guarding the gate, and there is no torch inside the gate, making it look dim.
With a thought in his mind, Chen Rui waved his hands quickly, and the two orc soldiers only felt their eyes go dark, and they had already lost consciousness. Once an attack is made, the stealth skill will automatically fail, and Chen Rui shows his figure and walks inside.
Although the visibility is very low, Chen Rui can still see that compared with the ruined palaces on the ground, the main body of the dungeon is still well preserved. There are not many available cells, about five or six stone ones. In the big cage, there were some people sitting, but they couldn't see their faces clearly, and they didn't know where Blanche was.
With a thought in Chen Rui's mind, there was an extra lighting magic prop in his hand, which emitted a strong light.
The sudden strong light startled the people in the cage. They couldn't adapt to the strong light for a while, and closed their eyes. When they got used to it slowly, they saw the bright light in the prison, and the light was actually An "orc".
Holding some kind of light-emitting props, the "beastmen" moved closer to the cage to illuminate them one by one, as if they were looking for someone, some timidly guessed whether they were going to be dragged out to be executed, and they all lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe.
"Blanche?" To the surprise of the human prisoners, the pronunciation of the common language of this "orc" seemed to be particularly mellow, without the difficulty of ordinary orcs.
Chen Rui shouted a few words in the voice of "Li Cha", but there was no response. Feeling strange, he suddenly stopped in front of a cage, and the lighting props approached.
Because he accidentally found a familiar face, no, it was two.
"Lucio! Ina!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the man and the woman were shocked at the same time. The man seemed to think of something, stood up abruptly, walked quickly to the stone pillar of the cage, and asked a little uncertainly: "Master?"
Chen Rui nodded. He didn't expect to find Blanche here, but he found Lucio, the former servant spearman, and Ina, Samuel's "confidante girl"!
After Lucio's fake death at that time, he moved some hands and feet and changed his appearance, but Chen Rui was always by his side during this process, so he was able to recognize it immediately.
Owner? an orc? Everyone was surprised by Lucio's address, and Yi Na stood up slowly, her eyes full of disbelief.
