The faint sounds of shouting and killing made everyone tremble.
When the entire forest was immersed in silence, they felt eerie and strange.
But when some of the sounds of killing returned, they became scared again.
Feng Buhuo sensed that something was wrong with everyone.
“Don’t panic. They’re in the light and we’re in the dark. Let’s figure out the situation first.”
“Right, right, right. We must not panic.”
Little Fatty exhaled twice before he calmed down a little.
“Look, there’s a small hill over there!”
“Although it’s not very high, it should be enough to scrutinize the situation nearby.”
Leng Hanyan pointed at a hill not far away and said.
“Hanyan is right. Let’s go.”
Since Feng Buhuo had said so, the others did not have any objections.
Therefore, the group carefully went up to the top of the hill.
The closer they got to the hill, the clearer the shouting became.
Feng Buhuo could already hear a lot of what they were saying.
They did not sound like humans.
But it was not very different from the human language.
At least Feng Buhuo and the others could understand what they were talking about.
Both confused and astonished, the group slowly climbed to the top of the hill.
The next moment, when they looked down, they saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Hundreds and even thousands of orcs!
Strictly speaking, they should be half-orcs.
They were as tall as humans, but their muscles were extremely developed.
They had slanted foreheads, protruding jawbones, distinct teeth and rough skin.
All of these features indicate their bloodline to everyone.
But the most important thing was that the half-orc tribe stretched far and beyond what the eye could see.
Each of the half-orcs had extremely hideous scars on their bodies.
The scars were on their heads, faces, chests and backs.
They didn’t seem to be afraid of displaying their scars in front of everyone.
Instead, they held their heads high and showed their scars in front of their enemies.
It was as their scars were their honour and their medal.
And their enemies were a group of elves!
They looked very similar to humans.
They had pointy ears and fluffy, curly hair.
They wore exquisite and noble clothes, and their bodies emitted a faint light.
They all held longbows in their hands, but there weren’t many arrows left in their quivers.
However, among the elves, there was a female elf wearing emerald green clothes.
She was different from the other elves, and she held a magic staff in her hands.
Her every move seemed to be filled with elegance, intelligence and beauty.
Without a doubt, she was the leader of this group of elves.
But at this moment, the elves were at an obvious disadvantage.
They only had a dozen or so companions left, and they were heavily surrounded by half-orcs.
Perhaps if the half-orcs attacked again, they would be destroyed.
Little Fatty and the others covered their mouths, afraid of making any noise.
They didn’t want to invite trouble.
These two races weren’t weaker than the human race.
If they were accidentally targeted by them, they would be in big trouble!
Feng Buhuo also quietly observed the development of the situation.
He didn’t know why, but he had a strange feeling.
…
At the bottom of the hill, the half-orcs and elves were nervously confronting each other.
A huge half-orc that was almost two and a half meters tall walked forward from the group.
“Princess Connie, you’d better hand over the thing.”
This half-orc was not only huge, his voice was like rolling thunder.
Feng Buhuo and the others could hear him clearly as if he was right beside them.
“Now that you are surrounded, there is absolutely no hope of escaping.”
“If you return the thing to us obediently, I might consider letting you live.”
“Otherwise, you know that we orcs hate you elves the most. If you fall into our hands, I don’t need to remind you what kind of torture you will suffer!”
“Think about your dead companions. Be smart.”
The huge half-orc released his hand and the mace in his hand fell to the ground with a loud thump.
A few visible cracks appeared on the ground.
The half-orc leaned on the handle of the mace with both hands.
It was obvious how heavy the mace was.
The half-orcs behind him started to scream wildly when they heard this.
At the same time, they waved the weapons in their hands.
There were knives, long sticks, whips and axes.
Madness, brutality and disorder.
These were words that would appear in anyone’s mind when they saw this scene.
The elf, known as Princess Connie, also walked slowly to the front of the group of elves.
The elves behind her all nocked their bows and arrows, vigilantly staring at the half-orcs around them.
They did not dare to put their guards down given the situation at present.
Otherwise, they might not even know how they had died.
Thinking of their dead companions, these elves couldn’t help but tremble.
It was too cruel and too bloody!
Princess Connie was also at a loss.
She concealed her panic and was calm and composed, a stance that an elf princess should maintain at all times.
Her gaze was cold and her face was prideful as she spoke.
It was so natural, and it made people believe that she was high and mighty.
A pleasant voice slowly flowed out like a stream.
“Andrew, why are you so hypocritical?”
“We all know that the half-orcs and the elves are mortal enemies.”
“Even if we return the thing to you, you won’t let us go.”
“Everything is just part of your delaying tactic.”
“You’re just worried that I’ll destroy this thing in a moment of desperation.”
Her voice was extremely cold, but her words were clear and eloquent.
In terms of imposing manner, she was no weaker than the half-orc known as Andrew.
Seeing that his thoughts were exposed, Andrew was not angry. Instead, he sneered and said, “Princess Connie, sometimes, it’s not a good thing to be too smart.”
“For example, right now, you could have deceived yourself. At least you didn’t have to be so desperate.”
“But now that you’ve told the truth, won’t your subordinates fall victim to the fear of facing death?”
“Alright, cut the crap. Quickly return to me the thing you have stolen, and then go accompany your dead companions.”
Andrew snorted.
His tone was so domineering that it seemed impossible for others to refute him.
Connie’s expression instantly became extremely ugly.
“Return it to you? This thing originally belongs to us, the elves!”
“If you didn’t take over our forest back then, how did this thing fall into your hands?”
“I’m its master, it’s only natural for me to take it back!”
“Hmph, as you know, it was because you elves couldn’t defeat us half-orcs, that’s why all of you had fled.”
Andrew’s gaze was contemptuous.
“This thing naturally became our spoils of war, what does it have to do with you elves?”
“You’ve forgotten the cruel lesson from that war!”
So that was it!
Feng Buhuo suddenly understood.
So the abyssal forest was actually the territory of the elves in the past.
But later, it was forcibly occupied by the half-orcs.
But now, the elves seemed to have taken back a certain treasure.
It was just that they were accidentally discovered by the half-orcs.
Which led to the half-orcs chasing after them.
Now, there were only about ten elves left.
One of them was an elf princess, Connie..
