Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 174
Xu Jun quickly closed the door and chopped off the head of another Serpentis. The last one looked at him blankly. Everything happened too fast. The two who died didn't even see clearly before their heads were chopped off. The one who was still alive wasn't any better. He stared blankly and didn't understand where the enemy came from.
But in the end, his rationality came back a little, and he sat on the ground weakly.
Xu Jun grabbed his hair. The Serpentis were similar to the mermaids in this regard. They were used to living in the water and couldn't get used to the dry air on land. They would often spray water on their bodies to keep them moist. The best water was seawater, so their bodies would have a faint salted fish smell all year round.
The merfolk had interacted with humans for a longer time and knew that the smell of salted fish was unpleasant. They had long changed to special perfume. The Sea Serpents, on the other hand, were not so particular. However, now that the sea was polluted by dark elements, there was no clean water. Xu Jun smelled the body odor of the Sea Serpents and felt that it was similar to a sewer.
He dragged the Serpentis in front of the orc cubs.
The child looked at him in panic. It was obvious that the despicable atrocities of some of the Sea Serpents had left a serious psychological trauma on these children. Xu Jun shook his head in his heart, thinking that it would be fine if they were orcs, but if they were humans, he might have to find a professional psychiatrist to counsel them.
The orcs were different from humans. They didn't have the concept of chastity, and they didn't think it was a big deal. They maintained the habits of magical beasts in many aspects, and because most orcs didn't have a strong reproductive ability and their cubs died young, their "sexual concept" was much more open than humans.
So for this group of children, the harm they suffered was similar to being bitten by a wild dog. It was just more painful than being bitten by an ordinary wild dog. It was so painful that they couldn't bear it.
Xu Jun reached out and picked up the orc cub who fainted at first so that he wouldn't lie on the dirty ground. He used his other hand to grab the Serpentis' throat and shook it in front of the children.
Perhaps they sensed that the big brother in front of them wasn't going to hurt them, so the cubs became a little bolder. After all, they were still children. After a few days of torture and watching their companions and elders die, they also tasted hatred. A shadow that didn't match their age appeared on their young faces.
Generally speaking, Xu Jun didn't like to see children with strong negative emotions. He always thought that children should be happy. But now, he felt that it was a good thing that this group of children knew hatred.
At least their bones weren't bent.
"Everything that happened to you, now I will help you put an end to it. You stay here and hide.... Don't go out... if you hear any sounds outside.... and don't run.... wait for me.
. "He gave a few brief instructions. After forcing Serpentis to answer some questions in front of the children, he killed him. This time, he was a little slower.
It wasn't because he wanted to torture the Serpentis warrior, but he wanted the process to be seen by everyone here.
It was also the most direct way to tell these orc cubs that the nightmare was over.
— — Fortunately, orc cubs were much stronger than human children. At least orc cubs of this age had seen blood and slaughter before.
It had always been difficult to survive in the Golden Grassland. Cubs of four or five years old could already help their parents kill chickens and fish. So Xu Jun wasn't worried that he would scare this group of children.
They were much easier to raise than the Tinas in the Sand leopards in the south.
Sure enough, seeing that he had killed someone, the children became more "lively".
The boldest saber-toothed tiger cub in front asked, "Then why did you help us?"
He looked up, and his brown eyes reflected Xu Jun's human image. The Hero who had crawled out of the sewers was now dirty all over. His hair was even stuck with an unknown black liquid, making him look like a beggar. However, this beggar-like human smiled at him and even touched his head. Because his hand was stained with warm blood, the little saber-toothed tiger cub felt that this hand was very warm.
Xu Jun handed the fainted child to him and let him support him. Then, he opened their handcuffs one by one. God knows what this human did, but he used a thin iron wire to poke open the handcuffs of Serpentis. It was said that the handcuffs for children were made by a master.
Xu Jun received a bunch of sparkling eyes. He squatted down and said to the cubs seriously, "Because I don't want to see people humiliating and hurting others in the world."
He thought for a moment and said, "You are still young and don't have enough strength, so I will help you. But when you grow up in the future, I hope that when you encounter similar situations, you can also stand up and punish those who have done wrong."
He couldn't talk to the cubs about principles or feed them chicken soup for the soul. He could only say these dry words …
Then, there was a sudden weight on his neck. It turned out that the child had rushed over and hugged him.
The saber-toothed tiger cub murmured in his arms, "Then when I grow up and encounter such things, what will I do if I'm scared?"
Xu Jun was silent and patted his thin back. "If you're scared … then avoid it, and then tell yourself that you must not become such a person."
Even if you can't be a messenger of justice, at least don't be a murderer or an accomplice.
The saber-toothed tiger cub obviously felt that it was not cool enough to avoid it. Although it still felt scared because of the pain in its butt, it still wanted to go forward and kill the group of Serpentis like this human. Orcs were born bold. Such a young child was actually brave.
Xu Jun was about to leave when he was stopped by a voice behind him.
The old saber-toothed tiger, who was wearing a hood on his head and had a tube inserted into his waist, looked at his grandson and the other cubs in the clan and gritted his teeth. "That human, see if you can unlock our shackles. We will accompany you to kill people."
They had to make a big fuss and draw the attention of the Serpentis away from here. Otherwise, the situation of this group of children was still not safe.
It was a mistake for them to collude with the Serpentis. Although they could not correct this mistake now, at least they could not continue to make it.
Thus, Xu Jun had to contribute some invisibility potions and talismans. _ (: 3/∠) _
More than twenty Orcs and bandits stayed here to take care of the children (although Xu Jun felt that the children were more afraid of them because they were all as ferocious as ghosts). The others followed Xu Jun. Although they did not have any equipment, the old saber-toothed tiger said that the "poison" that the Serpentis gave them could not only turn them into fools, but also stimulate their potential and make them truly good slaves. Now … "The slaves should bite back!"
The old saber-toothed tiger said through gritted teeth.
Xu Jun suddenly remembered the saying, "Even an old dog has a few teeth!"
Then this group of Orcs, who were shouting that they wanted to perish together with the Sea Serpent Clan, asked for some explosive water and … a dozen or so mass-produced ordinary steel knives from Xu Jun. The old saber-toothed tiger said, "Record this down and let my grandson pay it back!"
— — What a scam for his grandson.
Xu Jun did not go the same way as them. He began to move in the direction of the "laboratory" according to the information revealed by the Serpentis before he died.
Along the way, he encountered a few Serpentis patrolling warriors. He carefully avoided them. With his stealth ability, even an advanced warrior could only feel a gust of wind blowing past him.
A few Serpentis muttered, "Why is it so cold today?" "You're cold?
I don't think you women are delicate. "" You men aren't delicate?
Well, if you're cold, you can find it on those Orcs!
Hahaha! "
They laughed as they talked. Their voices were rough like the quacking of ducks. When they reached the corner of the street, they suddenly collapsed silently. What happened next was like a horror movie. Their throats were slit by an invisible person. They opened their mouths but could not say a word. After they died, they were carried under a haystack. Even their blood was wiped away.
Xu Jun did not look back. He walked around for a long time before he found a place that looked like a "laboratory."
He sneaked in. The small path that could only allow one person to walk made him a little inconvenient. He had to climb up to the ceiling and move around like a gecko.
The walls of the corridor were dark. Even if he dirtied the ceiling, he would not be able to see it. Xu Jun was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw a piece of mud fall from his boot and hit the head of a hooded Serpentis alchemist.
"…"
Fortunately, the alchemist's hood was thick, so he did not feel it. However, Xu Jun was sweating profusely.
He had not figured out this place yet. He did not want to be exposed so early.
However, more people were coming from the front of the corridor. He gritted his teeth and jumped into a door that was slowly closing beside him.
This door led underground. The light was getting darker and darker. Xu Jun finally arrived at a base that looked a little like a cult. The style was very similar to the underground of the Mundamachen Cathedral, except that there was no supernatural person here to brainwash others.
There were also candles burning around the hall, but the flames were green. The floor of the hall was dark red. The red and green colors were very poisonous.
There was a magic array drawn in the middle. It was very complicated and fancy, and there were many confusing lines. It was difficult to tell what kind of magic array it was just by looking at it with the eyes.
Xu Jun thought for a moment, took out a dummy, and controlled it to walk into the magic array.
First, he used the method of changing the weight to test if it was a "sacrificial mageweath." Then, he used blood to test if it was a "death ripple." Then, he simulated a dragon's roar to test if it was a dragon-bone mageweath … It was as if he was playing a puzzle game. He used all the methods very calmly, and finally found …
Damn it, all the mageweaths he knew had been eliminated!!!
At this time, the dummy also walked to the middle of the mageweath array. The moment it stepped down, there was a sudden burst of light.
An eye opened on the ceiling of the basement, a huge eye.
It stared at Xu Jun.
The author has something to say: Xu Jun: No!!!
This is like a horror game!!!
I'm scared of ghosts!!!
I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
