Lord of Arcane

Chapter 358 Beast Tide Is Coming (Ask for Monthly Pass!!)

At the same time, the soldiers in Kilan Town also started to act, but unlike the usual hunting, this time they went out to capture a wounded mage, but the powerful magic power still deterred the soldiers.

Except for Captain Gauss, who had direct contact with Luo Er, the others thought of being perfunctory, and had no intention of pursuing them when they left the town. They just wandered around the edge of the fields around the town.

Only Captain Gauss, because his friend was killed, wanted to investigate seriously. Even though his subordinates didn't quite agree with him, he still used the orders of the lord and the priest to suppress him very forcefully.

……

Three days later, in the forest, on a certain inconspicuous tree.

Xia Duo stretched his body carefully. He had a hard time these few days. He could only eat a few nuts of the geranium tree every day to satisfy his hunger, which was very unfavorable for his recovery.

Even after three days, he has only recovered a little physical strength. As for the ability to cast spells, he can cast 3rd level spells, but basically he can only cast 3rd level spells once a day, or multiple lower level spells.

There is no such free state of casting spells on the main plane at all!
The main reason is that the body is very weak, and there is not enough rest every day.Even if there is a magic alarm in the forest, it is impossible for him to sleep peacefully, not to mention how can he sleep comfortably in a tree!
Fortunately, despite the shortage of food, drinking water is quite sufficient. [Water Creation] is the first original spell that Xia Duo has researched since he traveled to this magical world.

Whether or not anyone else could spell it like this, but at least it did for him.And this was done when he was still an apprentice.

In view of this experience, Xia Duo has added [Food Creation] to the follow-up research list. In addition to storing food with dimensional bags and portable spaces, temporary manufacturing using magic is also an important supplement.

After all, the portable space is limited after all.

When he was thinking about how to use the time in the projection plane after his body recovered, Xia Duo suddenly found that the magic alarm had been triggered, and now he was no longer on the original leather tree, but changed to another branch. Leafy trees are easier to hide.

There are two creatures that triggered the alarm just now, they are larger in size, and they seem to be——

Orcs?

But how did orcs appear in the forest?

This is not the Green Pearl Forest. When he was flying in the sky, he carefully observed the nearby terrain. The small town he left in the north and the narrow sea in the north are all plains.

To the west of the plain, there are mountains far away. Of course, there are mountains to the east and south, but they are farther away, and there are rivers blocking them. How could there be two orcs in the forest here?

Looking at the direction, the two orcs came from the south, and I don't know what the situation is. If it is a wave of orcs, even if he has fully recovered, he must temporarily avoid the edge.

What's more, in such a weak situation now, of course, if there are only one or two orcs, he is still not afraid.

Thinking of this, the dull sound of footsteps "Puff" has already been heard from the south, which is particularly harsh in this quiet forest.With a thought, Xia Duo quickly cast [Invisibility] to hide his figure.

If possible, he still doesn't want to conflict with these two orcs. He now needs to guide positive energy to restore himself every day. If he uses spells on the orcs, it will delay his normal recovery progress.

Soon, through the gaps in the leaves and branches, Xia Duo had already seen the figure of a humanoid creature, which was indeed an orc, and was holding a weapon - a three-foot-long wooden stick.

The orcs would not pass directly by the tree where he was staying, which relieved Xia Duo a little, but just when he thought the two orcs were about to leave, they stopped.

One of the shorter orcs was sniffing the surroundings with its nose out. Seeing this, Xia Duo felt bad. Of course he had considered the smell of blood on his body.

Although there was no replacement clothes, he could only wear this tattered single clothes, but he still cleaned it carefully several times, and after picking off the fruit from the leather tree, he even changed to another place.

For this reason, Xia Duo paid the price of being in fear for a whole day without magic power. He sniffed the clothes on his body, and there was indeed a faint smell of blood.

But from so far away, the orcs could still smell it?
But the situation is like this, he is already ready, as long as the orc finds him, then he-

Naturally, he had to use the only 3-ring [flying technique] to run away.

Maybe killing them would be fine, but that would be at the cost of not being able to use the [Flying Technique]. If there were orcs behind, wouldn't it be dumbfounding to try to run away.

Seeing the short orc sniffing around, as if he was about to smell in his direction, Xia Duo suddenly saw the tall orc slap the short orc on the head, the sound was clear and loud, obviously with great force.

All of a sudden, the short orc was stunned, and then the two orcs started fighting like this!
Seeing this scene, Xia Duo was stunned. At first, the two orcs just fisted and kicked each other, but soon they started to fight each other, roaring angrily, and using the wooden stick.

The orcs were powerful, and the thick wooden sticks with human arms were swished by them. After a while, the short orcs fell to the ground, moaning weakly, and seemed to be dying.

And the next scene made Xia Duo really see the brutality of the orcs. I saw the tall orc forcibly tearing off a leg from the short orc.

Just chew it up!
Even though I have heard that goblins, orcs, trolls and other creatures can eat their own kind, this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes!
Xia Duo felt like he was about to vomit. After the tall orc finished eating that thigh, and tore off another thigh and an arm, he continued walking north with fresh rations.

Looking at the direction the orc left, Xia Duo fell into deep thought. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the orc wave, perhaps this was the beginning of the orc wave.

I can't stay in the forest anymore, Xia Duo came up with such an idea.

……

somewhere underground.

In a bright hall, four masked human beings sat facing each other. After a while, a strong man wearing sun-patterned armor came out from the secret room behind.

The strong man didn't hide his face, and sat in the seat vacated by the four masked men as soon as he came over. He couldn't ask them, so he took the initiative to speak:
"Everyone, I have received my lord's revelation that the wave of orcs will head south!"

"This is impossible!"

One of the masked men immediately retorted, "There has never been a wave of orcs from the south. Could it be that you made a mistake?"

"There is no need to doubt the power of our lord." The strong man was not angry, because he knew that the other party did not really doubt, but was just worried and afraid, so that he couldn't believe it. He continued:
"Everyone must be notified of this matter, if not prepared in advance, perhaps Netheril will be destroyed here."
