Chapter 0096 Fire Demon and Humans (2)

 Pete waited until the two huge red monsters with snake tails and two calves' flame dogs walking away, and finally came to his senses and looked at the red monsters blankly, his mind full of incredible! These monsters did not kill people?
He didn't know why these two seemingly fierce monsters did not come to kill themselves after killing the undead. He himself was puzzled by this! Because when these two monsters were just talking, they did not use the common word for humans, so Pete had no idea what they were discussing just now. It was a very strange language!
However, it is always worth his happiness for the fact that he can survive by chance. No one wants to die if he can live. Of course, Pitt wants to continue living!
So, after remembering that his sister Lana was still lying weakly in the cave waiting for him, he quickly broke free from the entanglement of the fallen trees and quickly climbed up from the ground, not caring about the painful and bleeding wounds on his body. After grabbing the sack he had thrown down before climbing the tree, he ran back to the dense forest along the way.
"Who is it? Ah, Pete? You're finally back. Where did you go just now? Are you...?"
When Pitt was back to the cave where the two brothers lived, his sister Lana was holding a wooden stick and leaning weakly against the rock wall at the entrance of the cave. When she saw that her younger brother had returned, a gentle smile finally appeared on her pale and tired face.
"Sister! Why are you getting up? Come in quickly, look, what did I bring back to you! There are cheese, bread, and a large piece of smoked deer legs!"
After Pete stepped forward and helped his sister back to the pile of dead leaves in the cave, he was so excited that he took out a lot of food from the package he brought back. He believed that with these things, his sister would gradually improve.
"Is this? Pete, you..., have you actually gone outside?" Lana was not happy because of the abundant food at first sight, but instead looked at her younger brother in surprise.
Lana knew how dangerous it was outside the forest. She was also aware of the fact that there were all the dead minions outside. Not to mention her younger brother carrying a small axe, even a strong soldier might not be the opponent of the dead!
She didn't expect that her younger brother Pete would take such a big risk to find food for him. If he was accidentally caught by the undead, then he... Thinking of this, Lana's tears suddenly burst out.
"Peter, don't you know how dangerous it is outside? Sister doesn't need you to do this. Sister just hopes you can live well and keep going well!" While sobbing, Lana reached out to stroke her brother Pete's scratched cheek, and finally couldn't help crying in a low voice.
"Sister, you'd better eat something first."
Pete didn't dare to speak out, so he used the small axe to chop two pieces of hard bread and a piece of cheese and stuffed it into his sister's hands. As for the deer legs, he had no choice but to find a tool to attract fire, and it would be better to find a pot. Otherwise, they were afraid that the two siblings would have to eat raw!
"Peter, do you promise my sister? Don't take the risk again. If we save some food for these things, maybe in a while, our army in the Kingdom of Lordaeron will come back and dare to run away the evil spirits!"
Lana only took one piece of bread, then broke off a small piece of cheese, and she prepared to put the rest back in the sack and store it carefully. In this way, the two siblings could hold on in this safe cave for a long time, and her younger brother would no longer have to go out and take risks to find food.
"Okay, sister, I'll listen to you!" After a while of silence, Pete finally nodded, saying that he agreed to his sister. With these things at the moment, they really don't have to go out to find food in the near future.
However, he had always had an unsolvable doubt in his heart. He didn't know why the huge red monster and flame dogs, like a giant snake monster, suddenly appeared outside? And they were still cleaning up the undead? What made him even more confused was why they didn't kill themselves just now?
This is what Peter is most confused about. Look at their hideous and evil looks, you can tell that they are not good monsters at all, right? So, why did they let themselves go after killing the undead? Why is this?
This is in the mind of Pitt, a stubborn boy who is not very knowledgeable, and I can't figure it out! How could there be such a good creature in the world of Azeroth that doesn't kill people? Pete believes that if he, a human, dares to go alone to wander around the river or the sea, those weak fishmen can be skinned and cramped in less than half a quarter of an hour!
After the two of them ate something silently, the careful sister Lana finally discovered his brother's abnormality. He seemed to be thinking about something, and always looked depressed.
"What's wrong, Pete? What are you thinking?"
"That... sister, I think it's better to tell you something! Just now, when I went out to find food, I was actually discovered by a group of undead. At that time, I felt dead! Then, I climbed a tree as fast as possible. You know, I climbed the fastest tree, and no one could compare to me." Pete thought about it and decided to tell his experience of the highway, his sister Lana, who did not express his doubts, would not be able to sleep.
"What! There is still this? Pete, are you injured?" When Lana heard his brother say that he had met the undead, he didn't even bother to eat, so he quickly stepped forward to check his brother's body.
The consequences of being scratched by the undead are very miserable. They will be slowly tortured to death by the poisonous plagues, and eventually become one of the undead! In this situation, Lana and his siblings have seen many times during the days when they fled! She couldn't imagine what she should do if her younger brother, Peter, also wanted to become that kind of monster?
"No, I wasn't bitten by the undead. This was just a few times when the tree was knocked down by the undead. This was a small injury. It was really not bitten by the undead. Don't worry!" Seeing that Sister Lana wanted to force her weak body to check on her, Pete quickly comforted her.
"Then how did you come back? Those undead..., they didn't chase you?"
This is what Lana couldn't help but feel scared. She didn't expect that her younger brother had just encountered such a great danger and was blocked by a group of undead. Then wouldn't he almost die?
Climbing onto a tree is always a dead end. She has seen those hideous undead spirits walking on all sides. It doesn’t take long to chew down a big tree that two people hugged! Even those dull skeletons and zombies can stay under the tree forever until you starve to death or you can’t stand it and run down!
"I'm still wondering! When the big tree fell, I felt like I was finished! I was dead! But I never thought that when the tree just fell and I was entangled among the branches, a group of more powerful monsters rushed over and killed all the undead in just a few seconds!" Peter began to tell excitedly. His experience just now was too bizarre.
"Another group of monsters? Then... did they not notice you? Then, you ran back secretly while they were not paying attention?" When Lana heard another group of monsters stronger than the undead, her face gradually improved and began to turn pale again.
"No! They had discovered me at that time! You don't know that they had red skin and snake-like tails, which stood upright almost as tall as a small house, with long terrifying bone spurs on their bodies, and looked tall and strong!" Pete began to tell everything he saw at that time.
"By the way! I also noticed that they were carrying two dogs as big as calves at that time! They were not ordinary dogs, as if they were made of magma, and they were covered in red soldering irons, and they looked fierce! However, for some reason, they didn't seem to attack me at that time..." Pete was always very surprised about this.
"A big red snake-tail monster? A big red dog like magma? How could they not attack you? They don't sound like they would be just creatures, right?"
Lana is just a little girl who has grown up on the farm. She doesn't know what kind of monster she is talking about. She is just scared by Pit's words now! Look, it's even worse now! Not long after the undead came, and now there are a group of even more terrifying monsters. What's wrong with their Kingdom of Lordaeron?
By the way! She also heard that there were orcs more than ten years ago, but Lana, who is only fourteen years old now, is not very clear about the orcs at that time. She only vaguely knew that all the orcs locked up seemed to have run away one or two years ago! For this reason, the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron was busy for a long time and asked all farms to increase taxes to subsidize the military expenses for the search for orc fugitives!
"Actually, it's not that I haven't been attacked. At the beginning, there was indeed a red snake monster trying to attack me. The long sword weapon in its hand was at least taller than me, and the sword had red runes shining. It must be the legendary magic weapon. It was ready to chop it down at that time. At that time, I thought I was dead! But for some reason, its companions suddenly stopped it, it was the same big monster with the same snake tail."
When Pete remembered this, he was still scared! At that moment, he almost thought he was dead. The knife was almost as big as half a door panel. If it was really cut down with one knife, it would be fine? The undead were cut into pieces by two strokes. He didn't think he would be more resistant to chopping than the evil undead.
"Then what, they... just let you back?" Lana also felt a little incredible. This monster that sounded terrible actually let go of their younger brother like this? Could it be that they are holy light creatures?
"I'm still very puzzled now! Anyway, they were muttering for a while and then walked away and ignored me. They were not speaking the common language at that time, and I didn't know what they were saying, so when I saw them walking away, I quickly picked up the sack of things and ran back."
After the two siblings were silent for a while, Pete suddenly thought of something, and then he spoke to his sister Lana, "Sister! Otherwise, I'll go out to see you tomorrow? We can't hide here all the time! If we encounter a beast like a big spider or a bobcat, we will definitely not be able to beat it!"
"No! Pete, I won't let you run out alone anymore! If you want to go tomorrow, I will also go and have a look!"
Lana, a little village girl who is just fourteen years old, is also a little confused about the newly emerging monsters. But in her mind, since they didn't attack his younger brother just now, that shouldn't be too bad, right?
Perhaps, tomorrow they can go out to explore the situation? If they really don’t attack humans, then they can live in the big houses of those lumberjacks? Then they no longer have to worry about the evil undead all day long? No matter what, they should always give it a try!
"Okay! Then let's go out together after dawn tomorrow!" Pete thought for a while, nodded in agreement with his sister's suggestion. He was also a little worried about leaving his sister Lana and letting her continue to stay in this cave alone.
…………………
John is not only a veteran who has experienced two Orc Wars, but also a second lieutenant on duty at the Eastern Post Tower to which Lordaeron belongs, and is affiliated with the Eastern Defense Legion!
Since the beginning of the First Orc War, he has been serving in the army sequence of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Now, he is already in his fifties. With the large number of military achievements he made when fighting the orcs, he successfully got into the easy job of the garrison officer of the sentry tower. In this way, he worked for more than ten years, from an uncle in his thirties to a veteran in his fifties now!
Over the past decade, his treatment and military rank have never been improved, as if the army's bosses have forgotten that there is a man like him who is good at fighting!
Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is not too strange! After all, Old John is just a mud-legged man who relies on military achievements to get married from the soldiers! He has no power and no power, and no backstage! Who are the nobles who are above the top, how would he care about the life or death of a soldier?
Looking at the human side of the Azeroth World Alliance, which paladins or legendary heroes who can eventually become big players, is not from prominent backgrounds? Which one does not have a deep origin? As for John, who is mud-legged, still wants to make a name for himself in the league? Don’t dream!
If John hadn't had his military achievements and could make others worry about it, his position as the guardian might have been overthrown! Still want to be promoted? Not to mention the door or window! If there were no accidents, he would have to be honest in the position of the guardian until he was old and squat until he died!
Old John was probably a little aware of this, so he stayed safely in this position, and was always on duty, and did not mess up any messes. He was doing whatever he should do when he got off work. He accepted his fate and planned to stay in this wardrobe until the day he died of old age. Anyway, his treatment was not too bad, and he was better than his dead comrades!
Originally, there was almost no war here, nor was it a frontline area. No one would have thought of replacing him, an elderly veteran. Therefore, he usually led his twenty young men to kill wild animals, or tease the little girls in nearby villages, and take advantage of some verbal advantage. They seemed to have nothing to do, and they were also satisfied with this leisurely military life.
But sometimes, fate will always make a little silly joke with you when you accept your fate! Like all Lordaeron's people, Old John's peaceful life was soon broken by the sudden outbreak of the undead natural disasters!
Just a few days ago, when Old John saw a group of huge undead ready to attack his harp, he said nothing, and before the undead were about to close, he led his twenty young men to burn the harp and ran away! Old John would not be stupid enough to defend the harp with twenty people on the harp to defend against the attacks of thousands of undead!
When he ran away, Old John was preparing to fight out of the crowd of sieges. Then he never expected that on the way, they surprisingly did not encounter more than ten undeads, and those scattered ghouls or zombie skeletons were not opponents of the twenty shield-armor infantry squad brought by him, the veteran?
So, in the next few days, they fought and killed all the way, gathering the refugees they encountered and clearing out scattered undead monsters. They were preparing to lead a team to the Holy Wish Chapel of Light or the Hand of Tyre, because Old John got the news from the refugees that it is said that there are only two places in the eastern area of ​​the Kingdom of Lordaeron that have not been compromised by the undead.
Maybe it was because of the good luck, maybe it was because the old Johns gathered too many refugees and had too big goals! So, when they were about to lead the team around the source of Black Wood Lake and go south to the cathedral, they were targeted by a team of thousands of undead!
The undead were still cunningly blocking them from the front and back. Whether they continued to go east or west, it was a dead end. In addition, there were not many options for them to leave.
"Sergeant Jude! Hurry up and head north! Take the refugees to the logging farm of the Grand Canyon Forest Farm first! The rest of us try to delay the time for you. If we can't hold it back, we will retreat. Don't let the undead catch up with you!"
Now, except for the transportation channel of lumberjacks who transported timber along the mountain pass to the Grand Canyon, John had no good idea. He could hide for a while, so he quickly ordered his deputy! This was actually his fault. There were too many refugees gathered, all of which were hundreds of people. If the undead didn't come to block him, who would he block?
What makes Old John feel thankful now is that most of the undead in front of him are zombies and skeletons that run relatively slowly, and he did not see a few of those vicious ghouls! Otherwise, they would not even have the chance to escape, and the running ghouls will not be much slower than war horses!
"Okay, boss! Then let's run away first! Don't die!"
Jude responded loudly, quickly turned around and directed the refugee gates. Hundreds of people began to follow him in a row, and ran straight to the northern mountain pass.
"Come on, damn undead scum! Come to your Uncle John's side! I will definitely cut off all your heads!"
While shouting loudly, John directed the remaining nineteen brothers to form a neat battle line. While slowly retreating, he kept his distance from the undead troop, and was ready to use his shield to resist the undead attacks at any time. Then, at a suitable opportunity, he set out his sword to cut off the head of a zombie or skeleton!
In Old John's opinion, these undead natural disasters are far different from orcs! The orcs are violent, majestic and powerful, and their bodies are generally one head taller than human soldiers, and their weight can even be twice that of humans! During the Second War, they fought hard!
Now, the slow, unconscious, and stiff zombies and skeletons in front of them are useless except for the large number! If it were a one-on-one, John promised to fight a thousand of them! If he wasn't old now, both physical and physical reactions had begun to fall from the level of elite warriors, this number would have to be doubled!
"Brothers! That's it. Keep a distance, don't face too many undead at the same time, grab your shields firmly, remember! Never resist directly, pay attention to the skills of unloading power, otherwise, your left arm may be interrupted by the undead! Then, pay attention to the right time, use your daggers to cut off their heads hard! Just like this!"
While speaking, Old John nimblely swung out the sword in his right hand, cut off the head of a skeleton, and then a shield hit to help a brother next to him knock a zombie who was planning to attack.
"Be careful! Arrange in a row and slowly retreat, never lean on the front alone! Pay attention to cooperate with each other to cover!"
In this way, these twenty Lordaeron soldiers lined up in neat rows, holding Lordaeron's emblem shield and one-handed standard sword in his right hand, slowly retreating and dispersing the front line of the undead. On this mountain road leading to the Dalin Farm, he grasped the rhythm and even beat a group of thoughtless undead to no temper.
When the veteran John was fighting with great enthusiasm, he suddenly realized that Sergeant Jude, who was supposed to have led the refugee gate to the canyon in the forest farm, had now led the refugee gate back! What are they going to do? He had already fought hard. If the undead had not sent ghouls or hated them, their thin layer of individual soldiers would have been defeated long ago!
"Bastard! Damn Jude! Why are you back again? Do you want to die? If you want to die, I will give you a knife right away!" Old John began to curse. The time he had tried his best to win, the bastard actually ran back again!
"Boss! I don't want to do it either! Because a ruthless one ran out from inside! I was also very desperate!"
Leading the hundreds of refugees who had already been unable to move forward and retreat, Jude's left hand with the shield began to tremble. If the one inside was a dead soul, he would have the courage to fight a few times. Even if he died, he could still pull a few to him. However, facing the big guy in the canyon, he could not have the courage to resist at all! People don't have to fight him, and just kick him, he would probably be able to stomp him directly!
While talking to Sergeant Jude, Old John began to feel the rhythmic vibrations coming from the ground, just like... it was caused by the footsteps of a huge creature? The holy light is on! How big is it to create such a thing?
...
The lava giant Ottok is the only lava stone giant in this canyon now. If it hadn't for secretly bribing Shannox, I'm afraid that the first batch of fire elements here would have had it Ottok! It has always been very complacent about this!
Ottok's brain has always been very good. It is a unique lava fire element! It is also very powerful. Now it is only a few thousand years old and has almost reached the strength of the Molten Fire Lord.
Of course, no matter what, he is definitely not as good as Lord Leolis in the Land of Fire. However, he is definitely much more powerful than some other small fire elemental lords of the same level, because it is big!
Just by their size, they would not dare to challenge the little flame demons or local dogs of the same level to one hundred courages! After all, except for hand-to-hand combat, the fire elements do not have many means to deal with opponents who are also fire elements. Could it be that they would set fire to each other? Don't joke!
After coming out of the portal in the afternoon, Otuk originally planned to help Lord Shannkox, show his face in front of the leader and add some impression points. Unfortunately, the work of the Fire Demons now does not seem to require the help of this big guy, so it can only do this now, wandering around the Grand Canyon aimlessly and watching the scenery.
After the fire demons were scattered into dozens of groups to explore and sweep the entire Grand Canyon, Otuk had no chance to find some undead to move his hands and feet! So, it had to wander around along the main road.
As he walked around, it quickly reached the exit of the Grand Canyon. After all, it was very big! So, Otuk suddenly ran into the group of hundreds of humans who were planning to run in!
At first, Otuk thought those were undeads. When it was about to start fighting, it suddenly realized that the other party was actually a group of living people, not the kind of brainless undeads I had seen! Because after seeing it, they were immediately scared and shouted and turned around and ran away!
Otuk was very puzzled about this. After seeing that they were living people, he did not intend to continue attacking them. So what are they running away now?
In the face of not understanding the common word of Azeroth for the time being, Ottok could only continue to follow their team and walk outside the canyon. It wanted to stop them and express Ottok's kindness to them, and it wanted to let them know that it actually did not mean to hurt them.
Unfortunately, this group of humans who seem to be half as tall as Otuk's knees will run so quickly! It has been chasing for a long time, but it has not been able to catch up with them!
"Oh? What did I see? A large group of undead? Then, Otuk can attack..."
When it followed the group of humans, it unexpectedly found a large number of undead fighting with the living people. This was amazing news for Ottok, who was temporarily idle.
So, Ottok quickly ran forward a few steps, and after crossing the living people who had shrunk into a ball, the flame power in its body burst out, making its own size bigger, then raised his right foot and stepped on the heads of the undead. It was about to activate its large-scale skill - lava sting!
"Group...Move...Move...Get up..."
