C52 Each with his own thoughts (1/2)
”There must be something behind this anomaly.” When Dong Lang saw him smile again, his vigilance increased even more.
At this time, Old Orc opened his mouth: ”The three thousand seven hundred sixty-two clan heads of the Profound Horn Clan have come to pay their respects to Ancestor.” After he finished speaking, all four of his legs were lying on the ground as he crawled on his belly.
”This is actually the skeleton of his Ancestor … No wonder it's so big. ” Dong Lang was a little surprised.
”Five hundred years ago, a strange person assisted our clan in obtaining victory in the battle outside our clan. However, the formation has already been damaged, I hereby request the assistance of the Ancestor, using my own life as a guide, we will fix the formation. If Ancestor agrees, I will finish the ceremony here in three days. ” After saying that, he kowtowed to the skeleton a few more times.
”Oh? ”Could it be that I was overthinking it?” Dong Lang thought.
With that, the Old Orc left. The moment he stepped onto the ground, he immediately felt his heart beating faster and faster, and the heartbeat became faster and faster, as if he was being pulled by something. Dong Lang was startled, and immediately jumped into the air, and after leaving the ground, he slowly calmed down. Although it was just a few short breaths, it still caused Dong Lang to break out in a cold sweat. There had to be something down there. If it had been only suspicion before, then now he was sure. Seeing the bones that were tied up, Dong Lang shivered, immediately feeling that the place was filled with demons.
”Let me see what's down there.” Dong Lang stood in the air and pinched an ice pillar in midair. After that, a ice pillar was held in his hand and inserted into the ground, controlling the zhenyuan, pushing it down bit by bit, and the ice pillar kept on piercing through the ground. Fortunately, the ground wasn't very hard, but it seemed very thick, and from above, it was only a few dozen meters or so away. After removing the ice pillar, he slowly looked down along the hole opened by the ice pillar. Right now, he could see through the darkness, the distance of one hundred zhang did not obstruct his line of sight, but the further he went down, the faster his heart beat, as if his gaze had been frozen. He focused and looked down again. Finally, they reached the small cave entrance. Just as his gaze looked down, there was a wave of resistance that forcefully scattered his gaze, and even Dong Lang who was standing above was forced to retreat continuously, spitting out a mouthful of blood. It was as though they were in a purgatory, a scene of blood all over the place. All kinds of blood-stained creatures were squirming about, their true appearances impossible to see. Farther away, Dong Lang only saw a pair of eyes that were completely bloodshot before he was jolted out …
Dong Lang stood still, ”You only gave me a glare, and you're already injured like this. If all of you come out … However, he seems to be stuck there, so it's not good for us to stay here any longer. Dong Lang shook his head to keep himself awake, and quickly retreated along the road he came from.
When he returned back to the vicinity of the tribe, it was already the time of five o'clock. Dong Lang sat on the ground as the Old Orc's strange smile and righteous words emerged in his mind, teasing him. Not knowing when, Dong Lang had already learned how to think, and how to think carefully. He was no longer the reckless child from before, maybe this was what Wu Daozi meant by his words that sounded stupid. The night passed in his mind. On the morning of the second day, Dong Lang saw the orc ignite another fire. It was obvious that they felt extremely good about yesterday's feast. Old Orc walked over from afar and invited Dong Lang to eat something. Dong Lang waved his hand, indicating that he had already eaten something.
”May I ask if you can do me a favor?” Old Orc could no longer hold it in and asked Dong Lang.
”What help? As long as it is within my capabilities.”
”It's like this, you've also seen that we have a formation here, and this formation is broken. Our clan has a ceremony that uses my life as the guide, and then combines it with a human's zhenyuan, to repair the formation.” When Old Orc saw Dong Lang, it was as if he had seen hope.
”It's not impossible, but will there be a situation where my zhenyuan is exhausted? If so, my life will be in danger.” Dong Lang raised his doubts.
”Don't worry about this, it definitely won't happen. I can still guarantee that it will happen.” The Old Orc said solemnly.
”Then let me think, or give me a reason to believe you.”
”When you first came here, I had already told you about the development of our clan, and you also saw wave free's corpse. As for the damage done to the formation, you had experienced it yourself, I did not lie to you about anything … The reason we ask for your help is because we have no other choice. After all, our clan has almost no chance to retaliate under the attacks of the Black Man. As the clan leader, I cannot let our entire clan be wiped out no matter what … ” As he spoke, he actually began to sob.
”Well, I can help you. But if I am in danger, I will first save my life. ”
