Before nightfall, the expedition occupied the jackal's lair. This simple nest made of gravel is actually an open-air camp. The inside is smellier than a pigsty, and it is full of faeces, garbage, food scraps and the bones of the victims.
The reason for occupying this place is that after the establishment of Harmony Village, a large number of adventurers discovered that this camp is spacious enough and has water sources during the exploration of the "once", which is very suitable for stopping on the way. However, the circulated situation lacked a lot of specific details, or the earliest occupiers deliberately concealed it.
"No one has ever reported that there is an ogre here." Zhou Qingfeng stood inside the gravel wall of the jackal's lair, looking at the surrounding forest.
In order to avoid the bloody smell attracting more monsters, the corpses in battle must be dealt with as soon as possible. Several huge bonfires piled up outside the lair, and'Jiying' commanded the skeleton to complete this laborious task.
When the jackal man ran away, he abandoned the cubs, and Zhou Qingfeng did not hesitate to order them to be killed. The slaves of the nest were also worthless goblins and kobolds, and were also put to death. All the corpses were thrown into the campfire along with the ogres.
The rule of survival in the Black Forest is so cruel.
The roar of wolves could be heard in the forest. It was the escaped jackal man hiding in the darkness and screaming angry and sorrowful. They were slaughtered, expelled, and lost valuable settlements. The weak and the strong eat, the predator becomes the prey.
The burning smell filled the air, Zhou Qingfeng could only cover his nose. The skeletons are coolies, and after handling the corpses, they have to clean up the trash in the nest, otherwise the expedition team will not be able to stay.
Next, the expedition continues to expel monsters in the surrounding forest, Rubio and Wilson will call in villagers to build simple roads in the forest. This was originally a work that took more than a month for adventurers in Harmony Village to complete, but now it takes about a week.
Exploring the dense forest is time-consuming and laborious work, and Zhou Qingfeng has to go step by step no matter how urgent it is. Rushing hard will only die quickly. When night fell and the campfire crackled, the old Borg who was in charge of the search shouted: "Victor, you better come here."
The nest is blocked by a gravel wall, and the more the inside, the more smelly the partition. The innermost partition with the largest area is the residence of the ogre, a collection of bedrooms, kitchens, toilets, and garbage dumps. The ground inside was raised one floor, and it was full of bones.
The expedition has axe and shovel for excavation. Skeletons use this to clear the ground and transport a large number of bones with carrion and ointment out and burn them. Zhou Qingfeng came in clutching his nose, and the old Borg was walking around a crude wooden box with the'Plague Pastor'.
The'epidemic people' play with corpse poison every day. Most of them have rhinitis and are not sensitive to odor. Zhou Qingfeng asked them to clean up in the nest, but the jackals clinked poorly, and there was nothing to be used as trophies. The only thing worth noting is the wooden box of the ogre.
The box has been opened long ago, and there are some inexplicable bones and ore inside. Old Borg grabbed a bone and happily said it was a rare animal, and he kept his corpse research skills in a few words. In Zhou Qingfeng's eyes, they are all worthless.
"Why are you calling me over?" Zhou Qingfeng also looked at the box, but didn't find anything special for a long time.
Old Borg pointed to a few things that had been cleaned up next to the box, and said, "These are all made by elves. It's a bit strange to appear in the ogre's box."
"The ruins of Silver Leaf City are in the Black Forest. It's easy for the ogres to find some elves," Zhou Qingfeng said.
Old Borg shook his head, "No, ogres don't like the art of elves. They don't have the ability to appreciate it. Such savage monsters only know how to eat and chew."
"Or these fairy statues were here." Zhou Qingfeng frowned when he finished speaking. Old Borg also stopped the movement of checking, thoughtfully.
"Victor." Nar also walked over, holding a piece of gravel in his hand. "Perhaps you should look at the wall that forms this lair."
The wall of the jackal's lair is actually a pile of rubbish. Over time, the walls are covered with moss and weeds, and it is impossible to see their original appearance. Nar also accidentally kicked the stone underfoot, only to find patterns on the stone.
"This is not a stone at all, this is a brick." Zhou Qingfeng grabbed a weed on a wall and grabbed a'stone' out. "This place was originally not a jackal's lair, but it is probably a ruin of an elf building. "
The elves have lived in the Black Forest for many years, and they definitely know better where to live. The buildings they built are all over the place, and it's not surprising to find so few ruins.
At this moment the night had fallen, and there was darkness all around. The expedition team could no longer see the layout of the entire jackal's lair. But judging from the layout of the nest wall, this place is indeed not something a low-intelligence race like jackals can build.
The weeds were lifted, and the broken bricks that formed the walls of the nest were neatly stacked. Some walls have also been re-spliced, which can't be done easily. It's definitely not something a jackal or goblin slave would do.
Obviously, the jackal was a latecomer, and the magpie nest dove took this place. So who repaired this place before
Elf? The elves evacuated here fifty years ago.
Zhou Qingfeng realized that he seemed to have encountered a secret, a secret deliberately concealed by an adventurer who occupied this place for the first time. No one reported that there was an ogre in this place, no one reported that this place was actually an elf ruin, and no one reported that this ruin was sorted out.
Now it was Zhou Qingfeng who occupied the jackal's lair for the first time, and he easily discovered the abnormality of this ruin. Thinking along the hidden information, the key to this secret is... ogre.
Even if it was reported that there were ogres in the Jackal Nest, Zhou Qingfeng would not be too surprised. But why did no one report it
An ogre is a monster with a strong sense of territory, and it will not run around if it rules the king in one place. Zhou Qingfeng met it, and the adventurers who had occupied this place had no reason not to meet it.
"The body of the ogre is still there." Zhou Qingfeng turned his head.
Todd walked in from the outside and said in a daze, "Ah..., I just threw it into the campfire."
Zhou Qingfeng waved to the old Borg again, "Your pastor seems to have a trick called'Talk to the Dead'."
Old Borg shook his head, "That's a third-level magical technique. I'm only a fourth-level witch doctor, and I haven't got that ability yet.
Narr stood up and said, "Victor, what do you want to ask? I can ask the trees in the forest. But the information that the forest knows is often vague, and the answer is only a few words."
Zhou Qingfeng pondered for a moment, "I want to know who sorted out this elf ruins, and where is this person?"
Nar nodded, walked into the forest outside the nest in the dark, and found the oldest tree. She held the large tree trunk in her hand and whispered a question. After a while, she frowned and said: "The ancient tree said that this ogre was the one who arranged the ruins."
Impossible, how could an ogre do such a thing? This is completely different from the expectations of Zhou Qingfeng and others.
Naer continued: "The ancient tree said that the ogre we killed was the first to stay in the ruins of this ruin. She also said that she guarded the ruins while weeping every night. The jackals were slaves captured by it. "
What..., ogres can cry
Zhou Qingfeng and the others looked around this dirty, messy and smelly jackal's lair, as well as the particularly dirty and messy ogre residence-the monsters living in this ghost place are still a little literate
What kind of ogre is this
