Master of Orcs

After finally waking up from his lethargy, Elios found that he was lying on his bed, looking out the window with his head turned slightly, it was already dark.

It sounded quite lively outside, and the strong smell of meat kept wafting into the room, which made Elios know very clearly that it should be dinner time.

I remember that the duel with Lyle was still early this morning, so how long did he sleep for?

His head was still a little dizzy, and accompanied by throbbing pain from time to time, this discomfort made Elios frowned.

At this time, Fu Ruhui opened the door and came in. Seeing that he was awake, he walked over and asked, "Are you awake? Does your head still hurt?"

Elios shook his head, and asked Fu Ruhui the first sentence: "He won?"

Immediately after recovering his sanity, the only thing on Elios' mind was to know the result of this duel.

At this moment, his heart was beating violently.

In fact, even if Ruhui didn't say anything, he knew very well in his heart that he fell into a coma completely after the last blow, and it was impossible to get the position of Beastmaster again!

and so……

He lost to that guy again!

And this time, he lost completely!

Seeing the tense and helpless, heartache and remorse expression on Ellios' face, Fu Ruhui, who originally wanted to keep silent for a while to play tricks on the other party, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Neither of you won, so the position of Beastmaster has not been settled yet."

"N-none won?!"

how can that be!

Obviously, this answer was completely unexpected to Elios, so that his whole thinking suddenly seemed to be disconnected.

So from the outside, at this moment, Elios is lying flat on the bed, his head is slightly tilted towards Fu Ruhui, his eyes are staring at his partner in a daze, his mouth is half-open, motionless as if he was being pressed. , he didn't even blink his eyelids, he looked so silly, it was really funny.

Maybe it was because he had completely relaxed after experiencing extreme worry. Seeing Elios suddenly showing such an expression, Fu Ruhui couldn't help but burst out laughing!

What's more, at the end of the laugh, Fu Ruhui bent down and hugged his stomach!

Hearing his sudden exaggerated laughter, Herbert and Emile, who were still having a happy meal outside the house, and the Grenn family hurried in to see what happened.

Seeing everyone rushing in, Fu Ruhui hurriedly wanted to stop laughing, but in the end he was so suppressed that his face turned red.

Too rude!

"You, you two..." Ge Lan pointed at the two people with different shapes in the room in disbelief, not knowing what to say.Why did it feel like until just now, all their worries seemed to have been wiped out?

Emil shot in the direction of those two with two very disdainful eyes: "It's all gone, it's all right. By the way, father, remember to come out to eat when you're hungry."

So, Emil led everyone out together, and finally closed the door very intimately.

"Eh..." At this time, Elios seemed to be fully awake, and his handsome face flushed with embarrassment.

Seeing that Elios had returned to normal, he should be fine, so Fu Ruhui simply fell down and lay beside him, as if he didn't care about the episode just now.

Seeing this, Elios turned sideways and wanted to hold his partner in his arms, but the pain from all over his body made him pause.

Fu Ruhui, who was aware of it, turned sideways and hugged him actively.

"The wounds have been healed, don't move around. I thought you would stay in the shape of a beast, but I didn't expect you to have the strength to change back into a human shape. Fortunately, Lyle didn't catch the weak point this time, otherwise there would be nothing on you. That's the only thing that hurts."

"I'm sorry Ruhui, I didn't beat Lyle..." Elios looked ashamed.I think back then he was still swearing to promise, but now...

"It's not your problem. I can see that your situation is not right when you are fighting."

"Yeah..." Elios thought for a while, "I felt dizzy as soon as I played, did I eat something wrong before?"

"No, someone plotted against you."

"Who is it?" Elios was very surprised when he heard that.

"It was done by a werewolf. But it was his own action, and Lyle himself didn't know about it. Your father asked me to ask you if you want to make this matter public."

"Forget it." Elios said without hesitation, "This matter cannot be announced. Otherwise, the two tribes will be hostile to each other, and the consequences will be worrisome."

Looking deeply at Elios, Fu Ruhui said, "Don't worry, I will tell the patriarch what you mean."

"Then what should we do now?"

"I don't know either, but everyone is trying to find a way, so don't think about it, and take care of your injuries."

"kindness."

-

Four days later, Kaxiu returned.

Hearing about it from Herbert and Emile, who had come to help Genn, he ran at once to see Elios.

Originally, Kaxiu thought that Elios must have been beaten to the point of dying and lying in bed, but outside the room, he saw a radiant guy dangling in front of his eyes.

"...Elios, you seem to be in good spirits."

"Hehe, these minor injuries are nothing compared to before!" Elios patted his chest hard, smiling so brightly that he couldn't even close his mouth, "I'll go hunting first! I'll bring you vine flowers and fruits back tonight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elios ran away without a trace.

"He... Gene gave him the wrong medicine?" Kaxiu stared blankly at the direction where Elios was leaving.So there are guys with such energy?

"No..." At this time, Kaxiu saw Fu Ru appearing at the door in a gloomy manner, with one hand supporting the door frame and the other holding the waist, his face was terribly ugly.

"Could it be that I made a mistake?" Walking in front of Fu Ruhui, Ka Xiu asked very worriedly, "Ruhui, are you the one who was seriously injured?"

"You...come in with me."

After sitting firmly on the stool, Fu Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief.

Kaxiu looked at him, but didn't dare to say anything.The eye knife that Fu Ruhui gave him when he just entered the room was really powerful.

"Kaxiu, you were called back to the elves in a hurry this time, did something happen to your tribe?" Fu Ruhui asked.

Kaxiu nodded and replied: "That's right. For some reason, the fruit of the holy tree has not shown any signs of growth since it returned to the elves. The elders have spent a lot of effort to make it grow."

"What? Five elders can't make the fruit grow by casting spells at the same time?" Fu Ruhui was also very surprised when he heard that, "I remember Cyndia said that she can do it alone."

"That's because the magic power of the female elves is very strong, and after so many years, the magic power of the entire elves is declining rapidly, and the remaining magic power is probably not enough for the fruit of the holy tree to grow."

"so what should I do now?"

"Ruhui, do you still remember the legend of the Forest of the Dead?" Kaxiu asked him.

"The legend of the Forest of the Dead?" Fu Ruhui was stunned for a moment, recalling for a moment.

——[It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, there were often undead haunting and doing evil in that forest, which was very dangerous and terrifying.So at that time, the elders of the elves put a gemstone with great magic power in the depths of the forest to deal with the undead, preventing it from running out of the forest.Later, everyone naturally called this forest the Forest of the Dead. ] "I remember, but what does it matter?" Fu Ruhui asked puzzled.

"Actually, this legend is true." Kaxiu said to him, "According to the memories passed down by the elders, tens of thousands of years ago, our elves did indeed put a precious stone in the forest of the dead."

"So, you want to get back the magic power in that gem to help the growth of the fruit of the sacred tree?" Fu Ruhui finally understood.

"That's right." Kaxiu said, "I was urgently called back to the elves this time just to find this magic stone with everyone."

"The whole elf tribe went to search together and still couldn't find it?"

"Yeah," Kaxiu looked quite annoyed, "Almost all the elves searched the Forest of the Dead but couldn't find it, so I can only come back and ask your orcs for help."

"If the legend of the magic stone is true," Fu Ruhui had an idea, "then I have a way."

-

Elton's house was very lively at the time, because Fu Ruhui asked Elton to call all the patriarchs over.

"I have an idea." First of all, Fu Ruhui stood up and said to everyone, "It's not impossible to let them compete again, but I don't think force can solve all problems."

"Then what suggestion do you have?" Lyle looked at Fu Ruhui playfully and asked.

Elios quickly stood between the two of them, his eyes were like a knife, and he swept across Lyle's body fiercely.

Fu Ruhui automatically ignored Lyle's gaze, and said to Elton, "Patriarch, I want to invite someone in first."

Elton nodded in agreement.

Therefore, Fu Ruhui called Kaxiu in.

Seeing him, Lyle's eyes immediately became focused.But at this moment, Kaxiu didn't pay much attention to the gaze of the wolf king.

"Kashu, please tell everyone about the magic stone."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Kaxiu told everyone about the legend of the Forest of the Undead and the missing magic stone.

"Ruhui, I understand what you mean." Elton stood up first and said, "But even the elves can't find this magic stone, so how can we find it?"

"So this is a test. It is limited to [-] days. If you bring back the magic stone within [-] days, that person will be the Beastmaster. If both of you return empty-handed after [-] days, then you can only compete again." once."

"This..." Elton looked around at everyone present.

"I agree," Patriarch Kate first agreed, "If that person can really get back the magic stone, it means that he is the person chosen by the gods, and he is absolutely qualified to be the king of our entire orc clan."

"I agree too." Lagman finally said.

Lyle nodded slightly.

"Okay then," Elton said to Lyle and Elios, "Whoever can get back this magic stone within fifteen days will be the destined king of the beast clan."

"Wait a minute, I have a small request." At this time, Lyle suddenly stood up and said, "I want to take someone with me."

"Why?" Everyone looked at the wolf king in astonishment.

"Because I want someone who cooks."

"..."

For a while, the audience was silent.

"Ahem," Elton finally came to his senses, "but this is a contest between the two of you..."

"As the king of the entire orc clan, only one person is absolutely not enough to deal with everything. Therefore, he must have someone who understands each other, is trustworthy, and can stand by him. I think this, as patriarchs, should be Can understand what I mean."

"Okay," Elton said seeing that the other two patriarchs nodded unanimously, "then you two can choose someone to go with you. Elio...how about you, Lyle?"

"I want him!" At this moment, Lyle's finger was pointing in a direction that absolutely no one would have thought of.

"Me?!" Seeing Lyle's hand pointing towards him, Kaxiu froze in place.

"Yes."

"A joke! How could I..." Kaxiu immediately wanted to reject the other party, but suddenly he thought about it, this is also an opportunity, maybe Lyle will really be the one who finds the magic stone under the favor of the gods?

"Okay, I promise you!"

Maybe Kaxiu, who was focused on the magic stone, didn't fully understand the meaning of Lyle's words just now, but everyone else knew it well.

Fu Ruhui, who was Kaxiu's friend, was even more troubled.

Kaxiu, do you know what it means for him to agree to find the magic stone with Lyle?

But the big picture is settled.

In the early morning of the next day, after five full days of rest, the four of them hurried to their final destination—the Forest of the Undead.
