Chapter 141 The Contaminated Spirit
"This is too much! The orcs actually want to monopolize 30%. Do our warriors' lives have no value?!"
Inside the human settlement.
A group of senior executives were extremely angry and started cursing in the direction of the orcs' nest.
"I was at the front line at the time and saw it clearly. They retreated on purpose to let us take over."
"Is this even worth thinking about? They want to use this method to reduce our strength so that they can monopolize the resources of Crescent City."
"They were the ones who advocated joining the Giant Tree Alliance in the first place, and they are the ones who are against the equal division now. I think they have bad intentions!"
At this moment, all the senior executives had already learned the result of the discussion from Brent, and they all looked indignant.
In Crescent City, conflicts often arise between different ethnic groups due to the issue of resource allocation.
But those were minor problems after all. Considering that we still had to protect this place together, they were basically all solved smoothly in the end.
But this time it's different.
The meteorite, which can purify the black soil for growing crops, is related to their future survival and reproduction.
It is no exaggeration to say that the race that obtains the meteorite is equivalent to having the right to speak.
Without the restriction of black soil, it is only a matter of time for it to grow and develop. It will eventually break the delicate balance that has been maintained for three hundred years and even change the pattern of the entire black soil world!
Those leaders are naturally aware of this, otherwise even the orcs, who are usually brave and fierce, would not have started to play all kinds of tricks.
The reason is simple, they don't want to see other races become stronger than themselves.
Because it's on the black soil.
Being weak is the original sin!
"I don't know whether the appearance of this meteorite is good or bad for us, alas..."
Brent sighed.
He had seen too many cases where powerful races swallowed up weaker races and used them as slaves, reproductive tools, or even food.
But they are not stupid enough to think that other races will become stronger after receiving more meteorites and will coexist peacefully with them as they do now.
Therefore, dividing the meteorite equally is their bottom line. At least they can barely maintain the balance and take this opportunity to seek a new way out.
"The Giant Tree Alliance has also been restless recently."
At this time, the old wizard came over and said in a low voice.
Brent's eyes moved slightly and he raised his head: "Did they recover so quickly?"
"Yes." The old wizard nodded. "According to the news sent back, they have fully recovered since the last serious loss of vitality. Several forces have taken advantage of the situation and are sending people to search for the whereabouts of the life meteorite."
"The most important point is that it seems that two fifth-level people have been born there. It is because of their existence that the chaotic situation in the Giant Tree Alliance has been suppressed, allowing them to recover so quickly."
"two!"
Brent gasped at that.
Originally, the number of level five members of the Giant Tree Alliance was much larger than theirs, and now two more suddenly appeared. I’m afraid they are going to attack them directly.
After all, he has lived in Heitu for so many years, and he knows it very well.
A meteorite that can purify black soil and be used to grow crops has such great value and temptation.
Once the news of a meteorite in Crescent Canyon spreads, it will definitely attract a lot of covetous eyes.
By then, not only the Giant Tree Alliance, but also the surviving forces in other places will probably target them, and may even have sent people to gather information.
The only thing to be thankful for.
Those forces are far away from Crescent Canyon, and even if they want to attack, they will need a lot of resources and preparation time.
As long as they fight at the entrance of the canyon, they may have a chance of winning.
After all, no matter how powerful those forces are, they can't send out all the fifth-level ones, unless...
"Master Sean, something bad has happened! The orcs suddenly brought people to steal the meteorite!"
Suddenly at this moment, a guard hurried in from outside.
Brent and the others who were discussing the matter suddenly changed their expressions.
"What did you say?!"
Whoosh!
Brent's figure disappeared right away.
The others reacted and quickly followed.
When they rushed out of the human settlement and came outside, they found that almost all the orcs had gone out and were fleeing out of the city with the meteorite.
The orc chief was fighting fiercely with three other leaders outside the city, while the guards were fighting with the orcs, and the scene was in chaos.
"Blood Fang, what are you doing? Put the meteorite down immediately!"
"How dare you take the meteorite away for yourself? Do you want to betray New Moon City?"
"It's useless. You can't stop us by yourself!"
"Hahahaha... Do you really think I'm willing to stay in this kind of hellish place? Do you really think I'd dare to do it without any preparation?"
Bloodfang laughed wildly, and with a few whooshing sounds, three tall figures rushed out from the side and rushed towards the leaders.
"boom!"
After the violent collision, the three leaders fell back.
Those figures also landed steadily on the ground and stood beside Blood Fang.
They were actually the same orcs as Bloodfang, and their momentum had all reached the fifth level!
"Orcs! And they are not from here. Bloodfang, you are colluding with foreign enemies!"
Brent, who had rushed over, had a gloomy expression on his face, and quickly came to the three leaders, staring at the strange figures.
"Collaborate with foreign enemies? You'd better watch what you're talking about." Bloodfang sneered, "If it weren't for survival, do you think we would cooperate with you?"
"Now, this meteorite is mine. Who would want to stay in such a small place with you guys when I have it?"
After saying that, Bloody Fang took the meteorite and hurriedly fled outside.
Under the power of the meteorite, the black soil retreated wherever it went, allowing them to walk on flat ground.
"Damn it!"
"We can't let him escape!"
Brent and others shouted and wanted to rush forward to stop Bloodfang and the orc tribe.
Available in the next second.
The three strange orcs below soared into the sky, their already tall bodies expanded rapidly, and they attacked them with a grin.
"Be careful, that's the orcs going berserk!" As soon as Brent's voice fell, there was a loud "bang" and the lich leader in the air was punched onto the city wall.
He and three other people blocked the attacks of the remaining two orcs, but did not gain any advantage as both sides were pushed back.
The physical strength of the orcs after going berserk is truly terrifying.
Even though they had the advantage in numbers, they almost suffered a great loss.
After several more exchanges, the two sides finally separated, their chests heaving violently.
"Is this the only strength you have?"
"Then we will accept this meteorite first."
The three berserk orcs licked their tongues, knowing that it would be of no benefit for them to continue fighting, and they withdrew with laughter, without any intention of continuing the fight.
Brent and his men looked gloomy, but they had no way to deal with them.
They could only watch Bloodfang and the Orc Tribe disappear at the end of the black soil, and it was too late to catch up with them.
"Damn it! I should have known that Bloodfang had ulterior motives!"
"I didn't expect that he would contact other orc tribes and come up with an internal and external alliance."
"What should we do now? Just let them go?"
Several leaders frowned, feeling unwilling.
You know, that meteorite was their hope for survival, and it was taken away so easily. Now that the power of the entire orc tribe is gone, what can they use to defend Crescent City?
"Of course we can't just let it go like this!"
Brent said in a deep voice: "Since they can appear here, they are not too far away. Let's send someone to investigate their exact location first, and then make plans later."
"……It can only be the."
An unexpected incident disrupted all plans of Crescent Canyon and caused the entire canyon to become chaotic.
The meteorite has only appeared for a few days, but it has caused so many big events.
Anyone with a sharp mind would know that Black Soil might not be peaceful in the future.
More and more surviving forces are emerging, and among them there may even be giants that they are unknown to, staring at them somewhere, like wild beasts staring at lambs.
Once the protection of the gathering place is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.
Perhaps even the Druids did not expect that their actions, which were intended to bring hope to the Black Soil, inadvertently led the Black Soil to develop in another direction.
The area around the Death Forest, which is the center of the Black Moon explosion, will also become a place where all the Black Earth forces will compete for attention.
……
And at this time.
Rhodes was completely unaware of this.
He was riding Kaba and carrying the little thing, traveling through the Druid Forest, hurrying towards the direction of a meteorite that had been recorded before.
"We should be there soon. The location Erin mentioned is just ahead."
After spending half a day, Rhodes and his companions finally passed through the Druid Forest and came to the black soil plain outside again.
When the scene in front of me suddenly became clear, after running for more than ten kilometers, a green meteorite half-inserted into the ground came into view.
"found it!"
"Yeah!"
Cheers erupted.
Kaba immediately sped up and ran straight towards the meteorite.
After looking around and seeing no black beast, Rhodes jumped to the ground and came to the side of the meteorite.
Although he could purify the black soil by using the Masochistic Little Tree and Xiang Yuekui, there was no such thing as too many means. Now that they had fallen outside his doorstep, why wouldn't he pick them up?
So soon, he took out the wind blade shovel that he had just made in the past two days, and started digging hard next to the meteorite with the two little guys.
Fortunately, the meteorite was not too big. After it was dug out, it was only the size that two people could hug together, and he directly put it into the space ring.
"Done, let's see if there are any other treasures nearby."
Rhodes had finally come out, so he certainly wouldn't go back so soon.
Moreover, he had never been in this direction. It was near the junction of the Druid Forest and the Holy Mountain of Elements. He didn't know whether he could get around to the Holy Mountain of Elements.
Maybe the black beasts outside are of a lower level, and he can take the opportunity to sneak in and take the Dragon God's Mark.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a warning came from Kaba below.
He suddenly stopped running and dodged the increasing number of mineral protrusions beside him.
"what happened?"
Rhodes was startled and quickly looked outside through the gap.
Just then I saw a staggering figure running towards me on the black soil in the distance, looking a little embarrassed.
Although it was far away, he could sense a breath that was different from that of the black beast.
"Live!"
Rhodes looked surprised. He didn't expect to encounter other lives here.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the aura of that figure gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Just as he was stunned, a burst of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from behind the figure.
"Damn elf, you actually ran to such a dangerous place and made me waste a barrier. Run? Why don't you run?"
Two figures riding on skeleton warhorses, running across the black soil against the barrier, chased towards this side.
Until then.
Rhodes finally saw it clearly.
The figure being chased in the front was actually an elf!
And it wasn't a dark elf, but a white elf like Irene!
He looked disheveled and extremely thin.
However, what attracted Rhodes' attention most were the elf's feet and arms.
It seemed as if it had been contaminated by black soil. It had been stained with a layer of black and seemed to be spreading to other parts of the body!
what happened?
Aren't corpses the only ones that can turn into black beasts?
But this elf doesn’t look like a black beast, does it?
