Chapter 465 The disaster of the village
? Looking at the portrait in Xiao Xiong's hand, the two orcs shook their heads blankly and said, "We have never seen it before, but you can ask Elder Dongze, he is the elder who is most proficient in medicinal materials in our village..."
Xiao Xiong rolled up the scroll in his hand and asked politely: "Can you take me to meet your elders?"
One of the two orcs put away the spear in his hand and nodded, "Come with me."
Xiao Xiong followed the orc and walked towards the valley. There were dense houses in the valley. There were many orc women and children, but he could not see a male orc. Looking at the scale of the house construction, it was estimated that this village located in the valley had a population of more than 1,000 people.
The orcs living here should belong to the lizard tribe. Their skins are slightly blue and have some fine scales on them. Their faces can also see some of the characteristics of lizards.
"Why do you only see the elderly, women and children? Where are the men in this village?"
The guards who led the way turned their heads and their voices were a bit solemn: "They went out to hunt, and our village mainly relies on hunting for a living..."
Xiao Xiong nodded, but found that the guard who led the way had a bit of strange look in his eyes, as if he had a little expectation.
Xiao Xiong didn't care. Anyway, he came here just to find Golden Orchids, and he had no hostility towards these orcs. Although they might be wary of themselves, they would inevitably have hostile behavior.
After walking for a while, the guard suddenly turned his head and asked, "You are flying here, I guess he is the War Saint Powerful?"
Xiao Xiong smiled slightly and said, "Yes."
The guard's face became more and more anticipated. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it. Xiao Xiong asked curiously: "Why, do you have anything to say to me?"
The guard raised his head, but looked at Xiao Xiong's eyes, but shook his head with a wry smile, looked at the front, pointed to a separate house and said, "Elder Dongze lives there, he is the only doctor in our village..."
As soon as the guard finished speaking, the door of the wooden house was pushed open. An old man who looked fifty or sixty walked out of the door with his hands on his back. His brows were furrowed, looking quite worried. His eyes just fell on Xiao Xiong who was walking over, and there was a little obvious surprise in his eyes.
The guard respectfully bowed to the old man: "Elder, he passed by our village, looking for a medicinal herb. I would like to ask if the elder knows..."
The old man nodded slightly, and the guard walked over again and whispered a few softly to the old man. The old man's eyes lit up and stared at Xiao Xiong in surprise, which made Xiao Xiong feel a little puzzled, but Xiao Xiong still gave a gentleman's face with a calm expression: "Sister Xiao Xiong, please forgive me for any disturbances."
"Your Excellency, please come in and talk."
Elder Dongze waved his hand at Xiao Xiong and stepped back to the room first. Xiao Xiong walked to the door, took out a long sword forged by steel from the blood world space with a smile, and handed it to the guard who led the way: "Thank you for guiding me, a small gift, please accept it."
The guard's eyes lit up and his face showed an excited look. For the orcs living in the wilderness, a good weapon is very precious. Although the weapon Xiao Xiong took out was not even a spiritual weapon, it was also the best among ordinary weapons. It was worth at least two or three hundred gold coins outside.
Xiao Xiong had made a big purchase before coming to the wilderness. There were all kinds of things in his blood world space, and weapons were just one of them. Because Kong Qianzhong once said that the wilderness land lacked these things, and food and weapons were the most valuable to orcs, and gold coins and other things were not of great value here.
While the guard was still hesitating whether to take it, Xiao Xiong had already smiled and sent the sword to him, then stepped into the room, leaving the orc guard holding the sword in surprise.
Elder Dongze sat on a chair and signaled Xiao Xiong to sit by himself. Xiao Xiong was not polite, so he sat directly opposite Elder Dongze and took out the scroll with a portrait of golden orchid.
"Young man, what herbs are you looking for?"
"Golden Orchid." Xiao Xiong answered, opening the scroll, but his eyes fell on Elder Dongze's face, hoping to get a good result.
Elder Dongze's eyes fell into the image of the golden orchid, and his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Devil Flower!"
Xiao Xiong was stunned, Devil Flower?
"Elder, have you seen such flowers? What I am looking for is the golden orchid. You said this is... a devil flower?"
"Golden Orchid?"
Elder Dongze shook his head and said, "I don't know if this is a golden orchid, but I'm sure it should be a devil flower. Next to the devil flower, there must be extremely ferocious and poisonous monsters."
Xiao Xiong asked in surprise: "No matter whether it is a golden orchid or a devil flower, since Elder Dongze can call out its name, he must have seen it?"
To Xiao Xiong's surprise, Elder Dongze shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."
Xiao Xiong was stunned: "Then why did you call out its name in one go..."
Dongze shook his head and explained, "My junior brother died because of this devil flower. I heard from my teacher that the leaves are golden, like a long sword, the flowers bloom six petals, purple on the outside and red on the inside, and the stamens are black... This must be the devil flower."
Xiao Xiong hesitated and asked, "Then where the elder's teacher is? I want to find out where to find this kind of... devil flower?"
Dongze looked at the golden orchid on the scroll deeply, raised his head and suddenly asked, "You are a powerful war saint. I wonder if you can do our village a favor..."
Xiao Xiong was slightly stunned. He remembered the orc guard's appearance just now, and seemed to understand something, and smiled and said, "Have you encountered any trouble in Guicun? Elder, please tell me, if I can solve it, I will definitely help."
Elder Dongze stood up and actually gave Xiao Xiong a grand gift. Xiao Xiong was shocked and quickly helped Elder Dongze up and said, "Elder, why should you do this? Please say that as long as I can help, I will definitely help. As long as the elder can recommend the order master to the younger generation at that time."
Elder Dongze nodded without hesitation and said, "This matter was a bit abrupt. If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, I would never have been like this..."
Xiao Xiong nodded understandingly and said, "The orc who led me just now seemed to have something to say to me. You can see that you are really having difficulties, please tell me."
Elder Dongze's eyes showed a strong look of expectation: "Please take action to save the male in our village."
Xiao Xiong asked strangely: "Where did they go to hunt? Didn't they meet any fierce monsters?"
Elder Dongze shook his head, with unconcealed sadness on his face: "They were not going out to hunt, but were all captured."
Xiao Xiong was shocked and asked, "Who captured it and where did he catch it?"
"We don't know where those people come from. We only know that they caught the mountain here two hundred miles east. It seemed to be helping those people dig something. At the beginning, they came to the village to recruit people and gave them generous treatment. So some men went to the village, but after they went, they did not come back. Later, they came to recruit people. Everyone had doubts. Not only did no one go again, but they also asked them to release the people we had before..."
Speaking of this, anger was already covered with Elder Dongze's face. He said hatefully: "Seeing that we were unwilling, these people turned their faces and said that if these men were not allowed to go, they would kill all the entire village and kill many people on the spot. On that day, all the men in the village were captured. Now, there are less than ten adult men in our entire village..."
Xiao Xiong asked strangely: "Do you know what they are digging in that mountain?"
Elder Dongze shook his head and said, "I don't know, we have sent people to inquire, but the people on the mountain are very powerful. The people we went to inquire were caught by them and never came back..."
Xiao Xiong nodded, and couldn't help but feel curious: "Do you know how strong those people are?"
"I don't know, I just know that the leader can fly, and it should be a powerful war saint, but I don't know how many levels of strength..." Speaking of this, Elder Dongze looked at Xiao Xiong with great concern, as if he was afraid that Xiao Xiong would ignore it.
Xiao Xiong looked at Elder Dongze’s nervous expression and comforted with a smile: “Don’t worry, no matter what, I will investigate and rescue the people in your village as much as possible…”
When Elder Dongze heard Xiao Xiong say this, he showed an expression of gratitude on his face and said with some shame: "I'm sorry, we are really trying to make things difficult..."
Xiao Xiong shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, as long as there are no warriors in the war gods there, I will definitely save your people."
Elder Dongze's eyes lit up, and his eyes were filled with awe: "Are you... a strong man in the ninth level of the War Saint?"
Xiao Xiong smiled and shook his head and said, "No, but I have my own way. Elder, don't worry, point me the direction, I'll check it now."
Elder Dongze nodded and was about to speak, but he heard a sudden burst of bells coming from outside, full of panic and uneasiness.
Elder Dongze's face changed, he suddenly stood up, walked to the door quickly and looked out. His face was full of panic. He rushed straight to Xiao Xiong, and actually knelt down: "Those people are here again, please save our village."
Xiao Xiong was slightly stunned, and stood up, helping Elder Dongze up: "Elder, don't worry, I'll go and see what they are doing?"
"It must be arresting people again. We have asked some villages around. These people are arresting people everywhere. Recently, I heard that they don't even let women go..."
Xiao Xiong patted Elder Dongze's arm: "Don't worry, go and have a look."
