Chapter 434: Transformed into an Orc 8
Xuan Mo compared the directions carefully. Which mountain did he see when he stood at the entrance of the cave?
After working for a long time, the six people found the entrance to the cave and began to dig the snow vigorously. They had to be quick, otherwise the tribesmen would be in danger.
Luo Qi cried as she dug, "Chief, you must be safe, hurry... hurry up..."
Xuan Mo looked at Luo Qi with heartache. Her fingers were bleeding, which looked horrifying.
"Luo Qi, take a break, we'll dig."
But Luo Qi couldn't hear anything at all. She kept digging as if she didn't feel any pain.
The cold wind was as sharp as a knife, and every breath was accompanied by a biting chill, but their will was as firm as iron.
As time passed, the sky gradually cleared up, but the sunlight did not bring warmth. Instead, it made the snow reflect a dazzling light, making the vision blurred.
They had to squint their eyes and rely on each other's calls and the feel of the ground under their feet to determine the direction.
Finally, after hours of digging, their tools hit solid rock.
A glimmer of hope surged in Xuan Mo's heart. He called out the names of his tribesmen loudly, but the only response he got was an empty echo.
They sped up their digging until a dark hole appeared in front of them.
The entrance of the cave was covered with snow, and the six people cleared it for a long time before they dug out a passage.
Tears flashed in Luo Qi's eyes, and her voice trembled: "Leader, you must hold on!"
Her voice echoed in the silent valley, but there was deathly silence in the cave.
They lit torches and entered the cave carefully. There was a strange silence in the air, with only the sound of their footsteps and breathing echoing in the space.
The firelight reflected on the cold rock walls, casting long shadows.
As they went deeper into the cave, the sight before them made their hearts sink to the bottom.
The tribesmen were lying on the ground in a mess, their faces calm, as if they were just asleep.
Some people were still digging, looking at the dug rocks with longing in their eyes.
Their bodies were cold and lifeless.
Xuan Mo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with pain and anger.
They had tried their best, but the power of nature was too strong and they could not snatch these precious lives back from the hands of death.
Luo Qi fell to her knees, tears blurring her vision.
The six of them were silent, with sad looks on their faces. From now on, they were wandering orcs and they had no home.
……
Luo Qi threw the torch into the fire, and they held a simple and solemn farewell ceremony for their deceased tribesmen.
Feng Xing placed the bodies of his tribesmen in the flames and let their souls rise to the sky with the smoke.
When the last wisp of green smoke dissipated in the air, Xuan Mo, Luo Qi and others left the cave silently.
Feng Xing was a little confused. He looked at the empty snowfield, feeling melancholy about the unknown road ahead.
"Luo Qi, where are we going?"
Luo Qi was also very distressed. "I don't know either. The nearby tribes must have suffered a snowstorm. It's winter and there's a shortage of food. They probably won't take us in."
What Luo Qi didn't say was that she already had five beastly husbands, and other tribes would definitely not welcome them.
Xuan Mo looked into the sky and said, "Let's go to the Beast Realm King City."
Luo Qi's heart moved. Nan Xi was also there, so could they also have a place there?
Feng Xing's eyes lit up, "Yes, let's go to the Beast Domain King City. There we won't be discriminated against, and we can trade. As long as we can hunt, we won't starve to death."
Yan Lie and Shi Yan also agreed. Since Shui Sheng was the weakest, they had no objection.
The six of them packed up the supplies they had dug out from the tribe and took away as much as they could.
They set out towards the Beast Domain King City without hesitation.
?
Nan Xi had nothing to do, so she decided to go to the palace. She felt that the magnificent house was very special and had a modern artistic feel.
Nan Xi put an invisibility talisman on herself and swaggered into the palace past the guards.
Passing through the tall palace gate, I stepped into the palace's vestibule.
The architectural style of the palace has both the solemnity of ancient times and the smooth lines of modern times. Nan Xi guessed that the first-generation owner should be a modern person.
She first checked out the antechamber, which was decorated with exquisite murals and sculptures, each piece of art telling the history and legends of the orc world.
Nan Xi carefully observed each work, trying to learn more about the world from them.
On one side of the front hall, Nan Xi found a half-hidden door. She pushed it open and found a corridor leading to the depths.
Walking along the corridor, she came to an empty room with a large bookshelf, but unfortunately there were no books on it.
Nan Xi found a hidden mechanism in a corner of the study. She triggered it carefully and heard a slight mechanical sound. The wall slowly moved away, revealing a narrow passage.
She lit the torch in her hand and walked slowly along the passage. At the end of the passage was a secret room.
In the center of the secret room, there is an antique wooden table with a tattered diary on it.
Nan Xi walked forward and opened the diary, only to see the words "a suicide note left for those who come after me" written on the title page.
The text was indeed Chinese characters. She read it page by page. The diary recorded in detail how the author traveled from the modern world to this orc world, and how he used modern knowledge and technology combined with ancient architectural styles to build this palace that incorporates modern art.
In the last few pages of the diary, the author's handwriting became illegible, revealing a deep helplessness and sadness.
He mentioned that he had a premonition that his life was about to end, but he had not been able to find a way to return to the modern era.
He hoped that this diary could be discovered by later generations so that they could learn his story, and this palace would be given to this later generation as a legacy.
Nan Xi closed the diary, her heart filled with sympathy for this modern man. This time traveler was a master of metaphysics. He built this Beast Domain King City to find a way home, but unfortunately he never found it.
Nan Xi stayed in the secret room for a long time, until the light of the torch began to dim, and then she realized that it was getting late.
She put the diary away and followed the clues left by the time traveler to find the key token to inherit the palace - a peach wood sword.
Nan Xi held the peach wood sword, which, like the diary, was brought from the modern world.
The sword is engraved with strange symbols, which seem to contain some special power.
This sword is not only his magic weapon, but also the key to inheriting the palace.
According to the description in the diary, Nan Xi learned that in order to inherit the palace, she must pass some tests.
Nan Xi followed the instructions and came to a bookcase, where there were actually words on it.
"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of earth."
"Palace Jade Wine."
"Odd changes to even."
Nan Xi was stunned. Who was this test about?
She connected the answers one by one and then pressed the switch.
Suddenly, a mechanical sound was heard, revealing a hidden passage.
