I'm at the top of the food chain

Lu Shaoyu originally wanted to demonstrate his not so good sword skills in front of these orcs.

But after much deliberation, I still feel that this method is a bit difficult to implement. The beast race is different from the dragon race. If the dragon race reaches a certain age, it must go to death. The gold, silver and jewelry are waiting for death. Except for those who form a couple, most dragons will choose to face death alone, and they don’t care how their bodies will rot and disappear after death. They don’t need to be buried. It doesn't matter even if they slowly turn to ashes in the air. Of course, the bigger possibility is that it is too difficult to dig a pit that can accommodate their size.

The beast race is completely different. If we talk about it in detail, the beast race is indeed the most similar to human beings. The destination of life is also the memory of the living.

Moreover, the orcs have always regarded the body as very important, and even have an inexplicable superstitious attitude. They regard death as a very important ritual, even if they are forced to leave their hometowns, those who died halfway cannot be buried with their families. Together, they must also be buried, and they will never be allowed to rot and perish at will, so even though this condition is obviously not allowed, this team with a gradually decreasing population will properly bury every one of them. The sick orcs were buried in peace, and as long as they knew it, they would never allow anyone to disrespect the body of the deceased, let alone someone like Lu Shaoyu who wanted to take the dead.

If these orcs knew that they had secretly stolen a dead orc, and had stabbed him with several knives, it is estimated that these orcs would be so angry that they would beat them out without saying a word.

But apart from surgery, Lu Shaoyu didn't have any suitable solution for a while. It was quite difficult to let these beasts see the truth, but also pay attention not to violate the taboos of the beasts.

The knife may have to be opened, otherwise Lu Shaoyu would not be able to explain those parasites who don't know when they will move with just a few words, but the process may take a little more effort.

Lu Shaoyu had already sneaked into the patient area of ​​the Beast Race with Dubi Beast, but when he saw it at that time, there were not as few people there as there are now.

Lu Shaoyu stood next to Nesario, and Clay's little radish head quietly supported the curtain in front of him. He didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth were very straight, revealing an unspeakable despair and stubbornness.

Lu Shaoyu sighed, his eyes followed the animal skin curtain and looked inside little by little.

But a few days ago, this tent that was exactly the same as when he left was already less than half of the people in it, whether it was the young men and women he saw at the beginning, or even the person who was there. The orc children with fluff are gone, and the small ward is particularly empty. Some of them may have just happened to be in pain, and even if they were bitten, they could not stop the overflow from their throats. The wailing, the painful groan went straight from the ear to the brain, the pain was so painful that it didn't seem like a human being could make a sound.

Lu Shaoyu looked at the orc men curled up in a ball who seemed to have nothing to do with adjectives like tall and big, opened his mouth, and couldn't speak for a while.

He had heard this painful groan many times, but when he saw it with his own eyes, it was still so trembling.

He looked at it for a while without saying a word, then suddenly turned his head to look at Clay's father who was standing sideways, and asked, "Master Patriarch, I don't think you want to see the only remaining members of your clan using this painful method. Way to die."

Clay's father froze for a moment, then slowly turned his face away without speaking, but Lu Shaoyu still didn't miss his red eye sockets.

Watching familiar people die beside him is enough to make people collapse, not to mention that these people are all members of his clan who are usually protected by him.

He understands the torment of this illness on his own people best, so for Lu Shaoyu, it is more suitable to play the role of a lobbyist between the orcs and him.

Lu Shaoyu didn't care about his silence now, and then walked up on his own, and held down a struggling orc whose face had turned livid.

The Beast Race doesn't seem to be very old, and the pain made him almost lose his mind completely. When Lu Shaoyu touched him like this, when the man curled up in pain, he suddenly grabbed Lu Shaoyu's throat with his bony palm. It became a subconscious action, he only knew that he was in pain, but he had completely forgotten where the pain came from. It was just that when someone approached, his instinct would make him attack, even if he had crushed one of them to death. The strength of the birds is gone.

This sudden turn of events surprised everyone. Nelthario had already moved when the orc made a move, but before he came to the front, Lu Shaoyu quickly restrained the orc , the pain made him aggressive and made him lose most of his strength. Although his hand grabbed Lu Shaoyu aggressively, it was restrained by Lu Shaoyu's elbow halfway.

Lu Shaoyu's expression seemed quite calm, but Nelthario suddenly burst into anger. He endured desperately and finally slammed the daring orc out of the door without a slap.

He stared with a pair of eyes, circled around the orc, passed several orc men around him, and finally landed on Clay's father. The orc wizard was very nervous by his hostile eyes. It was at this moment that they realized that standing in front of them was a dragon, the natural enemy of the orcs.

The atmosphere slowly became tense with the sight of the two people coming and going.

Until Lu Shaoyu breathed out unconsciously, "It's all like this, the attack power is quite strong."

Then he turned his head to look at Nelthario, and said, "Brother Long, come and hold him down for me."

Neltharion didn't speak, but silently withdrew his gaze, walked over obediently, and stretched out his hand.

Neltharion, who used to be disgusted by looking at the orcs, now obediently listened to Lu Shaoyu's words and held down the orcs, but the strength he used seemed to vent his anger, and the orcs curled up into a shrimp-shaped body Open it forcefully, and the surrounding beasts didn't know what Lu Shaoyu was going to do, but the beast that was held down by them seemed to scream more terribly because of this action, which made the faces of the surrounding beasts a little ugly , only Clay's father watched quietly.

Lu Shaoyu ignored those hostile gazes, and after quietly looking at Nelthario, he untied the clothes on the chest of the orc.

Neltharion: ...

The strength in his hands has increased a bit, if not for his sanity, he probably could have broken the wrist bones of this orc.

Lu Shaoyu felt Nesario's sudden and eager gaze, so he had to cough twice vigorously, indicating that Nesario was doing business now.

Fortunately, Neltharion's possessiveness and jealousy did not fully flare up due to rational reasons, so Lu Shaoyu was able to stare at his eager eyes, raised his head to look at Clay's father and said, "If I tell you what this orc man is doing now There is a reason for all the pain you suffer, do you listen?"

Clay's father didn't speak, and the expression on his face didn't change much, only his eyes were a little warmer, because he knew the truth that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, not to mention that Lu Shaoyu, strictly speaking, belongs to their enemy .And the little carrot head beside him didn't have such great concentration. As soon as Lu Shaoyu finished his sentence, his black eyes lit up in vain, like two gleaming obsidian, and the expression on his face changed again. Surprised and urgent.

"Really? Didn't they absorb the gloomy and corrupt air of the rainy season?"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he probably realized that his current expression was a bit out of line. He tried to take back the expression on his face, but he couldn't do it. In the end, Lu Shaoyu almost wanted to laugh or not. I can't hold back anymore.

Fortunately, he held back and received a very important message from Clay's words.

"The gloomy and corrupt air in the rainy season?"

Clay was still secretly annoyed by his uncontrollable facial expression. After being reminded by Lu Shaoyu, he realized that he had slipped a very important news. He quickly looked up at his father, shut his mouth and said nothing. One more word.

Lu Shaoyu also immediately glanced at Clay's father, wanting to hear something from his mouth. Although half of the reason he came here was because he didn't want Sky City to be besieged again, and the other was because he didn't want the orcs to be like him again. For the endless death he saw, he had shown full sincerity. They could not believe it or say nothing, but if they still made up lies to lie to him at this moment, then all of his things would be true. It's meddling.

Lu Shaoyu stared at the orc wizard in front of him. After a long silence, the wizard sighed, "The original rainy season is not like this..."

The orcs have always lived in the jungle. Whenever the rainy season comes, they will migrate along the river to higher ground. When the rainy season is completely over, they will migrate back along the river. This migration has not yet At the very beginning, they began to find that some of them had this unexplainable disease.

Every time the orcs migrate, there will be casualties, no matter how many rainy seasons they experience, this is inevitable, so at the beginning, although everyone was a little surprised by this disease that they had never seen before, they didn't have too many complaints. People care about it until they find that this disease is extremely ferocious, not only causing death, but also dying in a very painful and horrifying manner. People who suffer from this disease will lose weight rapidly in a short period of time, and then begin to experience that inhuman The pain, the pain will torture them and lose their minds, they will struggle and howl regardless of day and night, when the pain is severe, they will even beg the people around him to kill him with their own hands, and finally they have to use it for these beast races Sleeping fruit, however, is still useless, it can only make them less painful, but it can't stop them from walking towards death.

This disease has no external characteristics, and there is no clue except for emaciation. They don't even have a clue how to get this disease. At the beginning, everyone thought that as long as they were close to each other, they would be contagious, but soon They found that some people are not contagious even if they meet and touch every day, while others are useless no matter how strict the isolation is.

A large number of orcs died from this disease, and at this time, I don't know where the news came from, saying that the reason why the orcs were entangled in this disease was because of this unusual rainy season.

The rainy season caused many animals and plants in the jungle to die on a large scale, and the dead animals and plants would breed a kind of turbidity, and the orcs were infected with this kind of turbidity because they absorbed this invisible and intangible turbidity. A strange disease.

This statement is actually a bit nonsense, and Clay's father also knows it.

This is not the first rainy season for them to spend in this jungle. Although their lives are not as long as the dragons, the rainy seasons they have experienced are not counted, and there has never been such a situation.

If the unusual disease and death of the orcs were all due to the rainy season, then the orcs might have been extinct due to this disease thousands of years ago, so he didn't believe it at first.

However, after this absurd statement began to spread, the orcs began to slowly spread another voice. Some people said that since the turbidity is caused by dead and rotting animals and plants in the rainy season, if we stay away from them, can we get rid of it? As for this kind of disease, as long as they stay away from low-lying places, away from water sources, and migrate to higher places, can they completely get rid of this inexplicable disease.

This kind of argument became more and more serious among the orcs, and gradually many orcs who were entangled in illness began to leave the main force and migrate to the opposite place.

What no one expected was that such absurd method of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor would actually work.

The higher the altitude, the longer the time interval between the onset of the disease, and the slower the onset of the disease. From the time of death in less than ten days at the beginning to later, they began to live for a long time.

Although some people look forward to death because of the torment of illness, but that is only when the illness comes. As long as the illness is relieved, even if it is lingering, no one wants their short life to end, especially when there are too many worries around them. .

Even a tiny bit of hope is better than nothing.

All the wizards of the tribe gathered together, and after discussing all night, they finally set their target on the sky city in the form of a minority obeying the majority. It is the close relatives who are suffering from this disease.

They may not be afraid of death, but they are really afraid of the pain of death.

If they were going to die no matter what, then this was still an opportunity. If they didn't give it a go, they wouldn't even have the last chance.

Afterwards, all the wizard patriarchs heard the news of the rebellion of the elder of the Dragon Clan, Alsos, and they did not know whose proposal they finally formed an alliance with Alsos. Trembling, but there was nothing they could do.

Clay's father calmly explained what happened in the orc clan one by one, and he has fully expressed his position so far. He is indeed willing to listen to what Lu Shaoyu has to say, because he does not want to see the orc clan go on endlessly like this. I don't want to stop death, and I don't want to start a war with the Dragon Clan because of it.

Even if the Orcs had a large population, only they knew how heavy the losses would be under such a double attack.

Lu Shaoyu listened to the man's speech in silence, and then slowly turned his head to look at Nelthario. Nelthario also looked at him, and finally nodded slightly.

He doesn't have the slightest affection for the orcs. Even if the orcs really suffered countless deaths and injuries due to this kind of illness, his inner touch is really pitiful. Half of all his decisions come from the sky city he is taking over now, and the other half are from the sky city. It all came from Lu Shaoyu. If Lu Shaoyu wanted to help, he would help, and if he didn't help, he would turn around and leave.

Lu Shaoyu saw all of Neltharion's compromises. Although all he did was for the overall situation, he still felt warm in his heart.

Whether it's a boyfriend or a girlfriend, no one can do what Nesario does.

He hooked the corners of his mouth, then put away the smile on his face when he turned his head to look at Clay's father, and said slowly, "Since the patriarch is willing to believe me, then I'll just say it straight, I need to use a strong Extreme ways to prove what I’m going to say next, as to whether you can accept it, it’s beyond my scope of consideration.”

As soon as he said this, there was another whisper, and no one knew what he wanted to do.

Lu Shaoyu didn't care too much, and pulled out a small round stone from nowhere.

Then he squeezed lightly on the stone and broke one side of the stone. After breaking it, everyone found that he had polished a round stone into a sunken stone box, and the box seemed to contain some kind of A pale yellow viscous liquid that looks a bit disgusting.

Lu Shaoyu raised his hand, put the object under Clay's father's eyes, and said, "Did you see it? This is the culprit that caused the mass death of the orcs."

The orcs clattered and surrounded Lu Shaoyu. Clay even hugged his hand and stared into it.

However, when everyone found that there was only a small pile of disgusting viscous liquid, most of the orcs were outraged, feeling as if they had been tricked, and even one of the orcs immediately stared at Lu Shaoyu.

Nesario maintained the original movement, but the wings and tail pierced through the animal skin clothes and pierced out. His vertical pupils narrowed into thin slits, and he looked at the beast in front of Lu Shaoyu coldly, It seemed that as long as he dared to move a little bit, he would quickly transform into sharp claws and divide him into two halves.

The orc who stared at Lu Shaoyu was obviously taken aback by Nelthario's suddenly sharp eyes, took a step back hastily, and then stood still with a blushing neck and rough voice, "Our lord wizard has already taken out Is it right for you to tease us like this without showing enough sincerity?"

Lu Shaoyu clicked his tongue, and before he could speak, he heard Clay's little carrot start screaming, "This isn't mucus! It's insect eggs!"

Lu Shaoyu hooked the corners of his lips, wanting to touch Clay's head, but after thinking about it and giving up, he didn't want to make himself uncomfortable because of Nesario's big jealousy.

"It is said that although the eyesight of the orcs is not as good as that of the dragons, they can still see things at night. As a result, the eyesight of you adults is not as good as that of a child, tsk tsk."

Lu Shaoyu completely ignored that he only noticed that it was an insect egg after Nelthario reminded him, and instantly activated the taunting skill, which made the orc blushed, and suddenly lowered his head again, looking carefully Looking at the thing in Lu Shaoyu's hand, he originally wanted to find something to refute Lu Shaoyu, but after looking at it a few more times, his eyes widened like Clay's.

I don’t know whether it’s because the time has come or because the living place has changed for the eggs in the stone box. Many of them have already begun to hatch, and there are tiny, thread-like insects twisting and turning inside, with light yellow bodies. It appears to blend in with the mucus around it, making it almost impossible to tell apart unless you look closely.

The rest of the orcs didn't realize the connection between the eggs and what Lu Shaoyu said at first, and it took a while to finally realize what Lu Shaoyu meant by "the culprit".

For a while, everyone started talking again.

"Even if he is a bug egg, it doesn't mean anything. What effect can such a small bug have on us? Could it be that they have such a strange disease because of these few bugs that are almost invisible to the naked eye?"

Lu Shaoyu snorted, and glanced at him lightly, "This little bug is fine outside, but what if he lives in your body, or even in your heart?"

The noisy discussion stopped in unison, and then became a mess after a while. No one believed what Lu Shaoyu said, because no one had ever seen insects that could survive in the human body. To them, Lu Shaoyu's words were simply Less believable than spiel.

Lu Shaoyu stopped talking, walked back to Nelthario, and pointed to the chest of the orc man who was always restrained by Nelthario.

His groans became more and more intense because of the pain. He widened his eyes vigorously, and there was some horror in the deeply sunken eye sockets. What made Lu Shaoyu even more horrified was that there were countless holes drilled into the chest cavity of this beast race. Tiny worms that were hard to distinguish with the naked eye sucked his blood, consuming his body and vitality.

"If you don't believe what I said, you can take a good look at the chests of these people. On the left side of the chest, there are several small red spots that are almost indistinguishable. Put the worm eggs on it and try to see if they can get in and live in the human body as I said."

The few orcs who were closer to him were the first to react, and they swarmed up and held down the nearby few orcs spontaneously, then pulled off the clothes on his chest, and stared at their chests inch by inch with wide-eyed eyes.

After scanning back and forth several times, someone finally made a trembling voice, "He has..."

"Then Riley has..."

"He also has..."

More orcs joined the ranks, and then panic reports sounded one after another. The more they talked, the more confident they became, and the more they talked, the more panicked they became.

Until Clay's father couldn't stand up, he ran to Lu Shaoyu and found three very small spots on the left chest of the beast. He yelled at a beast beside him with a tense face, "Go and see something else!"

The orcs reacted suddenly, and rushed out of the tent without saying anything. After a long time, he and several other orcs walked in again, with extremely ugly faces, and the result was self-evident.

"Master Wizard..."

"Needless to say!" Clay's father roared, then looked at Lu Shaoyu and asked, "Please tell us what's going on?"

No one tried the method Lu Shaoyu said, but all the people had subconsciously accepted what Lu Shaoyu said.

They have been guarding the tents of these patients. No one has entered before, so it is absolutely impossible for anyone to tamper with them. Moreover, there are more patients in their team than healthy ones, and there are countless tents. So, no matter who wants to do something about it, it is undoubtedly a huge project. If the purpose is just to make them believe a lie, it would be a bit of a fuss.

They may have accepted Lu Shaoyu's statement intellectually, but they cannot accept it emotionally. They have not been able to find out the real origin of the disease, so they can only pin their hopes on rumors that cannot be guaranteed, and now there is a sudden Someone stood up and told them the truth. It turned out that the reason was much easier to find than they imagined, and after such a long time, they never found it.

For a moment, everyone fell silent and turned their attention to Lu Shaoyu.

They hoped that what Lu Shaoyu said was true, but they didn't seem to hope that what Lu Shaoyu said was true. In the end, they all looked at him and couldn't say anything.

Lu Shaoyu sighed for a long time, and said, "I can't tell you exactly what's going on, because this is what I'm looking for now, I can only tell you that this kind of bug is called a parasite, and it may They are not in the human body when they are born, but they are different from other insects in that they can live completely in the human body. They absorb blood for food, live in the heart, live and lay eggs in it, leave the body after hatching, and look for The next host, and the day when they lay eggs and hatch out of the body, the host will die."

Lu Shaoyu's words made all the orcs gasp. Clay's eyes widened. He was still looking at the things in the stone box, but he couldn't help but backed away. two steps.

Why no matter what they do to prevent orcs are still recruited?It is because this kind of parasite has no time at all. They only wait for eggs to hatch. When laying eggs, they will find the host to hide the eggs in the host's body, and they will not be discovered by the host quietly. After hatching into larvae, they can survive outside or find the next host to burrow in in the same way.

"If I still need to prove it, I will probably give him a knife to find a dead orc."

Lu Shaoyu's words were purely in jest. After all, although he said earlier that he would do it regardless of whether the orcs could accept him or not, he had to be mentally prepared first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, Clay's father suddenly stood up straight and said, "Come with me."

Lu Shaoyu: ...

The few orcs around him all opened their mouths, but they didn't say anything in the end.

Although they already believed Lu Shaoyu's words, only in this way was the real ironclad evidence.

Lu Shaoyu thought for a while, and understood why he was able to persuade them so easily now. After looking at Nelthario, he followed them out.

While Clay's father was walking, he stopped suddenly and asked, "What do you mean when you said that maybe it was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster?"

Lu Shaoyu didn't expect that he would still remember such a sentence. After being taken aback for a while, he replied calmly, "Isn't the patriarch always suspicious from the beginning? The orcs have lived in the jungle for thousands of years. Whether it is due to the weather or because of parasites, if it really has something to do with the rainy season, to put it bluntly, it may have been extinct thousands of years ago, and just choose to have such a thing happen in this rainy season, no matter what It’s a bit too coincidental to say that. But as for whether it’s a man-made disaster, maybe the patriarch himself has to discuss it with other patriarchs, after all, I’ve only dealt with you.”

Although he didn't say a word of this clearly, anyone with a little brain might know what Lu Shaoyu meant.

The pupils of the wizard patriarch suddenly shrank, and then his face began to turn pale. Finally, he opened his mouth and said in a low but trembling voice, "If it is really what you said, then I, the whole Yikeli clan I swear on my life, I will make him pay in blood!"
