Pick up an orc

"Tuantuan, why are you here!" A hole was opened in the cocoon membrane, and a little furry head got in.Lu Yuan hurriedly tore the hole with his hands, and the little thing just opened the door a little wider, and immediately rushed in, slipping into his arms.

"Wow!" Tuantuan's paws were on Lu Yuan's stomach, and his little head kept rubbing against Lu Yuan's arms.It found that Lu Yuan's nipple was injured, red, swollen and bleeding, and the little guy immediately stretched his neck to lick the two injured soft granules, while whimpering, as if his heart was hurting.

Lu Yuan's body was still in a very sensitive state, and after being scraped a few times by the tongue with tiny particles, he accidentally let out an unbearable groan.It was embarrassing enough to be frank with a girl in a small space, huddled together, and I actually groaned strangely.

Lu Yuan was sweating profusely, fearing that the girl would think he was a pervert, he twisted the skin on the back of his neck fiercely and shook it a few times, the little thing screamed aggrieved, looking very pitiful.

Compared with Lu Yuan's many concerns, the girl doesn't seem to care about these at all.

She crawled on the edge of the hole to check, and said to Lu Yuan, "This place is too high from the ground, you will definitely die if you fall."

"Then what should I do, can I swing to the nearby tree trunk and climb down?" Lu Yuan asked anxiously, after finally breaking the cocoon, is there still no way to escape?

The girl looked up and said discouragedly: "No, it's too far away. And Manta's speed is much faster than ours. Even if I can successfully catch the tree trunk, I'm afraid I'll be caught before it hits the ground."

"How will you know if you don't try? It's better than waiting to die." Lu Yuan was not willing to just sit and wait for death.

So they started shaking the cocoons, hoping to swing onto the trunk of the big tree. Lu Yuan straightened his arms, trying to grab the trunk as it shook.But no matter how hard he tried, he could barely reach it: "Damn it, how on earth did you come up under the noses of those monsters?" Lu Yuan shook the ball a few times in desperation, the little guy licked his lips, his green eyes Eyes sparkle.

"Even if you shake it to death, it won't talk." The girl was speechless, why is this man talking to an animal, but this cub looks familiar, it can't be...

By the moonlight, the girl took a closer look at Tuantuan. The appearance of this cub was indeed very similar to the legendary Tusk clan she had heard from her elders.But she immediately denied this idea, it was impossible, that legendary race had long been extinct in this area, how could it appear beside a foreigner.

She raised her head to observe for a long time, and suddenly said: "This is very close to the top of the tree crown. If there is a flint, it might be able to destroy his heart in one fell swoop."

"I don't have flint, but I have a lighter, but I don't know where it went." Lu Yuan touched his bare thigh in frustration. When he was attacked by the tentacles just now, his clothes were all torn into pieces. The lighter in his pocket Naturally, I don't know where to go.It really echoes the old saying - the house leaks happen to rain all night, one bad thing after another, misfortunes never come singly!

"It should have fallen somewhere under the tree, but there's nothing we can do if we can't get down." The girl's tone was quite disappointed, and neither of them could lift their spirits.

At this moment, Tuantuan suddenly broke free from Lu Yuan's grasp, it got out of the hole, and climbed onto the branch along the filaments hanging from the silkworm cocoon.The little thing moved nimbly and quickly, and soon climbed down the trunk of the big tree.Lu Yuan watched Tuantuan disappear into the darkness with dumbstruck eyes, feeling deeply moved in his heart: "Tell me, did it go find a lighter for us..."

Less than an hour ago, the little guy was still so soft and weak, a baby who was waiting to be fed and needed Lu Yuan's protection.But now it not only opened its eyes, but also bravely chased it into the forest to find itself.Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, he was actually a little moved, it seemed that it was indeed not in vain to support it.

After a while, Tuantuan came back with something in his mouth, it really was Lu Yuan's silver lighter!

The girl was obviously also shocked by this clever little guy: "Where did you get this cat, I want one too!"

With the lighter in hand, Lu Yuan couldn't help but patted Tuantuan's head and praised vigorously, but new problems also followed.Although there is a lighter, how to get out of the cocoon and reach the top of the tree canopy without causing the tentacles to find out, burn the buds and escape safely, is a big problem.

"I can follow the kitten's path and climb up the thread hanging from the cocoon. If I'm lucky, I might be able to burn Manta's heart." The girl thought for a while and proposed such a plan, but Lu Yuan immediately shook his head and rejected it: " Your leg is injured and it is difficult to move, and how do you plan to avoid the attacks of those monsters, it is too dangerous!"

"Do you have a better method besides this method now?" The girl sighed, this method is very dangerous but there is still a chance of survival, it is better than sitting here waiting to die.

Lu Yuan still shook his head: "If I want to go, I should go, I won't let women take risks."

"I'm not a woman..." the girl muttered, but Lu Yuan didn't hear clearly, and asked her again, but she said, "Can you climb trees?"

"No." Lu Yuan was quite straightforward. He grew up in the city, so he never had the opportunity to climb trees.

"It's over, I have to go." The girl thought for a long time, and then said: "I'm going to burn the tentacles. If it succeeds, these tentacles will give priority to fighting the fire, and you can climb up the branches while you are in the chaos. Go up It's hard to climb, but you will be able to slide down slowly, as long as you run out of the forest, you will be safe."

Lu Yuan looked at the girl silently, it seemed that her escape route was not included in her plan: "What about you?"

"It's better to die alone than two. I only have one thing to ask of you. If you can escape smoothly, help me find my adoptive father." The girl untied a necklace from her neck, then It is a silver chain, wearing a copper coin: "My adoptive father is called Feilong, and he has a tattoo of a Chinese dragon on his back. When you find him, you must pass this copper coin to him and tell him that I have never forgotten Getu Promise by the river."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Yuan didn't go to pick up the necklace, he frowned: "I won't do things like sacrificing others to keep myself alive, we want to escape together. Then we will find your adoptive father together, You should tell him as much as you want, otherwise it will be meaningless!"

The girl's eyes dimmed, she shook her head: "Look at the current situation, why did the two of us escape together?"

Lu Yuan didn't know how to answer this question, the situation was critical now, and it seemed that there was a dead end before them.He closed his eyes and comforted the girl as well as himself: "No matter what, there is always a way. People have hope when they live, and nothing when they die. If you die, you will never see your adoptive father again."

"By the way, isn't there a yellow cocoon next to it? I can climb on it and light it up when the monster eats." Lu Yuan looked around and found a yellow cocoon next to them, which can be used well .

"How do you know when Manta eats, and how do you know that it will definitely eat this one?" The girl's words beat Lu Yuan.

The two had their own concerns and stopped talking, and the surroundings returned to the deathly tranquility.

At this time, Tuantuan climbed onto Lu Yuan with a lighter in his mouth, and kept hitting Lu Yuan with his head.

"Little guy, what do you want to do?" Lu Yuan watched as Tuantuan put the lighter on his lap, and his little paws patted the lighter and then patted himself.Lu Yuan couldn't help but think of this kind of human action, what is it going to do?

Tuantuan howled at him, flicked its tail back and forth, and repeatedly slapped the lighter with its paw.Lu Yuan always felt that it could understand what he said, so he asked it: "Do you want to burn Manda's heart?" As soon as he finished speaking, Tuantuan jumped up excitedly and yelled twice to show his affirmation.

Lu Yuan was very surprised. He knew that Tuantuan was very human, but it was too exaggerated to be able to understand human language.He was stunned for a long time, and then said: "Tuantuan, do you want to climb up the tree with a lighter in your mouth to burn that flower bud? If so, put your paw on my hand." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand, and Tuantuan immediately Put the little paw on it.

"You cat is too amazing, you must be a beastman who is still in the larval stage!" Tuantuan's reaction also made the girl scream out in shock.

"Beastman?" Lu Yuan was puzzled, Tuantuan looked like a kitten no matter what, but grew surprisingly fast.

The girl took a deep breath and said mysteriously: "According to the legend of our tribe, this continent is not ruled by humans. A long time ago, there were many powerful orcs living here. They can stand between humans and animals." They can switch at will, they are beasts when they are young, and they will become humans when they become adults. The common feature of orcs is that they are extremely powerful. Their life span is longer than that of humans, and their physical fitness is better than humans, but I don’t know why they have gradually disappeared in the past few hundred years. In this continent." The girl said a lot in one breath, and finally added: "But these are just legends, I heard them from the elders in the tribe, I have never seen a real orc."

The girl's description reminded Lu Yuan of the woman with horns and the man with tiger stripes that he had seen in the past few days.But they don't seem to be as powerful as the girl said, and they haven't seen them turn into animals.

"I saw orcs when I first came here." Lu Yuan immediately described the appearance of the two orcs to the girl, and the girl was also very shocked.

"I guess what you see is the extremely vicious but herbivorous long horns and the cat family at the top of the food chain - the fangs!"

"There are different types of orcs?" Long horns and fangs, it seems that there are more than these two.

The girl nodded and continued to introduce. According to her explanation, Lu Yuan learned that there were detailed records about orcs in the books left by the girl's ancestors.

In addition to the long horns and fangs mentioned above, there are a total of eight recorded orcs: bears, wolves, foxes, and apes that belong to warm-blooded animals; cold-blooded snakes, insects, and lizards; Mysterious species, they live in the depths of the dark ocean, isolated from the world.They call themselves Nuntenoma, the messenger of the sea god, and the tribesmen call them mermaids.

"Mermaid!" Lu Yuan couldn't believe his ears, what he heard now was beyond his imagination.

He looked at Tuantuan for a long time and was speechless: "You said, is Tuantuan a fang?"

"I don't know, no one has ever seen an orc in the past 200 years, and everything about them has become a legend." The girl was also in a state of extreme shock: "But this little guy can walk through the forest alone, climb up and down without being affected There must be something unusual about Manta's attack."

The two watched Tuantuan together, and Tuantuan tilted his head and made a cute cry, and patted the lighter vigorously with his little paw.

Lu Yuan shook his head vigorously: "No, no! Even if he is Fang Fang, he is still a child, I can't let Tuan Tuan take risks!"

Hearing this sentence, Tuantuan yelled in dissatisfaction, and fiddled with the lighter with his paw.Although it can open the shell, it doesn't know how to ignite, and it screams anxiously.

"How about letting it try?" the girl asked tentatively.

Lu Yuan still refuses, Tuantuan is too important to him, he must not let it be in danger.No matter how powerful orc it will grow into in the future, it is still a baby and needs to be protected by itself, how can it be allowed to take risks.He hugged Tuantuan in his arms and gently stroked its fur: "Tuantuan, listen! Run away from here now, never come back again, and live well even without me."

At this moment, it felt like parting from life and death, and Lu Yuan knew in his heart that there might be really no hope this time.Tuantuan was still stubbornly holding the lighter, and its paws were anxiously patting back and forth, as if urging Lu Yuan to make up his mind.

"I've seen a lighter at Feilong's place, and the fire would go out as soon as I let go of my hand. Even if Tuantuan could climb up with the lighter in its mouth, it wouldn't be able to burn Manta's heart." The girl recalled how long ago she often saw Feilong playing with the fire The machine is also made of metal, but it needs to grind the rollers to ignite, and the fire will go out as soon as you let go of the hand.

"That's an old-fashioned lighter. Now you have to close the lid to put out the fire, and this one is windproof." Lu Yuan said as he turned on the lighter to ignite. He moved his finger away, but the flame was still beating.

Just when Lu Yuan was about to turn off the lighter, Tuantuan suddenly flew up, grabbed the burning lighter in one bite, and darted out deftly.

The little thing moved too fast, and Lu Yuan missed it with his hand one step too slowly. He could only watch helplessly as it gradually disappeared among the branches with a little bit of fire.

"Tuantuan, come back quickly!" He shouted anxiously, wishing he could keep up.
