Ordinary days in another world

Chapter 56

Jiang Xia looked out through the corner of the tent. The meat of the forest jackal was rough, and it had a sour taste after cooking. It was inedible at all, so the orcs rarely hunted the forest jackal for food, but the skin of the forest jackal was thick and strong. , the fertility is extremely strong, if the forest jackals are allowed to multiply and grow, it will seriously affect the distribution balance of animals in the forest, so the orcs in the forest will always hunt the forest jackals on a large scale every once in a while, leaving only useful animals Skin, flesh and bones are discarded. In Jiang Xia's view, this is simply a straightforward means of controlling the ecological balance, and it should be the instinct of the orcs as the rulers of this land.

These are what Ares told Jiang Xia when chatting at leisure. From the appearance of their fur, forest jackals are probably similar to the jackals in the previous life. They live in groups and are ferocious by nature. The maggots are lingering, and now it may be due to the fact that there are many jackals and Ares is alone, so she thinks of attacking them under the pressure of the orcs. As for Jiang Xia herself, she thinks that she is A scum with zero combat power, the one who buys one and gets one free for takeaways.

Two meters away from the light illuminated by the fire was the pitch-black night sky. After all, Jiang Xia’s sensory abilities were not as good as those of an orc. Except for the sound of the hailstones beside the pile and the crashing hailstones outside, I couldn't feel any strangeness at all.

Ares was gazing at the wilderness by the fire, occasionally roaring in one direction twice, Jiang Xia rubbed his stiff neck, resigned to his fate and sat back in the tent, for a person with dull senses like her, it is better to hide herself so as not to drag the big tiger The hind legs are right.

The atmosphere should have been extremely tense, but because of his nerves, Jiang Xia fell asleep sitting up, and heard "嗖嗖..." in a daze. Ji Ling woke up completely, thinking of their situation, Jiang Xia hurriedly went to raise the tent again.

Ares growled, lowered his figure, and showed a defensive posture.Now Jiang Xia could see clearly, the jackal the size of a wolf dog rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Ares. Because of the limited vision in the dark night, it was as scary as flying out of the darkness.Jiang Xia clenched her lips tightly to keep herself from being startled, and saw her big tiger standing calmly in front of the fire, every time a forest jackal sprang out, it would slam it out fiercely, one by one sped out quickly The forest jackals were thrown out screaming, their voices were shrill, and they hardly had the ability to join the battle for the second time. After a violent attack, the forest jackals suddenly fell silent.

The surroundings returned to calm again, but Jiang Xia could hear the soft whine of the injured forest jackal this time, and the "bang dong" sound of being thrown to the ground by Ares' strong arms seemed to be still in his ears. Those injured forest jackals definitely Not only a little bit of pain, but able to hold back from making a loud noise, Jiang Xia broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the beasts here are so smart?
Feeling that the whole person who was waiting became anxious, the forest jackal group still did not move, but Ares kept a vigilant defensive posture, which showed that the external danger had not disappeared. Of course, this danger was for her. Thinking of this, Jiang Xia swallowed back the question that came to her lips. She should not make a noise to distract Ares. I don't know what the plan of these cunning beasts is. Obviously, this cave is not enough space for the jackals to settle down. Could it be? It took so much effort just to eat their flesh?Jiang Xia thought about the pain in his head and didn't know the purpose of being attacked. In the end, he could only blame the orcs for doing too much harm to the jackals. They took advantage of their order to retaliate. Jiang Xia was caught by his own speculation. No, is this a wild animal version of an underworld revenge film?
Jiang Xia was swollen, and there was movement on Ares' side, and an unknown grunt came out of his throat, and he cautiously moved in one direction, ready to fight.Jiang Xia raised her heart in her throat, is this a more powerful guy?Then he looked in the same dark direction.

A yellow-brown ferocious beast with the same shape as the beast of Ares shot at Ares like a small cannonball, so fast that Jiang Xia didn't see it at first glance, until the big tiger faced it head-on. Going up, fighting together, Jiang Xia saw the color of the fur of the beast while rolling.

What is this thing, and is it with Lin Jackal? ?Countless question marks flashed in Jiang Xia's heart, how could he get mixed up with the forest jackals.No matter how white Jiang Xia's eyes are, he can still see the difference in body shape between the two. Well, the color of the forest jackal's skin is closer to the bark-like dark brown, and there will be miscellaneous lines on the body, which are for the convenience of hiding in the forest. The dog-sized body is also completely different from the one who just appeared on the stage.And what can force Ares to transform into a beast is definitely not ordinary combat power.

It should be taking Jiang Xia's safety into consideration. Although the big tiger and the beast had wrestled into the night, they were not too far away. Occasionally, the wet mud mixed with hail could fly over the fire and fly to the side of the tent. .

Jiang Xia completely lifted the curtain at the entrance of the tent, wrapped her clothes tightly, and then took the sharpest bone knife out of the usual handy ones to block her chest. I don't know if those jackals are afraid of fire. If Ares really came to attack her when Ares couldn't get away, she could at least resist it once or twice, at least to give the big tiger a little more time to save her.

The low growl and manic sound became more and more intense with the mud flying around, and the two that had already been covered with mud suddenly rolled out. It looked like a big tiger bit each other's neck fiercely and slammed over and slid for a certain distance. Even the fire was scattered, and for a moment, Jiang Xia could see that the beast's back was about to hit the rider on the cart, and the big tiger swung its neck back forcefully, throwing the beast into the night.Huh... Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and was almost hit. It doesn't matter if the cart is broken, but if even such a strong cart is broken, she will also be crushed to pieces.

Several logs that lit the fire were scattered at the entrance of the cave, and two of them were quickly extinguished due to the falling of the hail.If she didn't light the fire, she would really become completely blind and open-eyed.Weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Xia carefully climbed out of the tent, picked up a few burning logs nearby, ran back quickly, and gathered together in front of the tent again. Although the light was not as good as before, it finally reassured Jiang Xia and I don't know if the group of forest jackals were busy watching the battle or dismissed her, but Jiang Xia was not attacked at all.

Just when she was wondering, a desperate roar suddenly came from the big tiger. It was sharp and long, making people's eardrums sting. Jiang Xia couldn't help but stretched out her hands to cover her ears, panicking in her heart, what happened?The sound is not from her big tiger, but the sound is too miserable...

Fortunately, without making her wait long, Ares slowly walked in from the night.Jiang Xia quickly jumped off the cart and ran over, "What's the matter, are you injured? Is that thing dead?" While talking, he pulled Ares up and down to look him up and down, only a few blood marks were scratched on his chest, and there were other places. Finally, Jiang Xia was not injured, so Jiang Xia was completely relieved.

"I'm gone, the monster is dead, and the jackals have retreated." Ares took Jiang Xia's hand and spoke, but he didn't know if Jiang Xia was careless, and he always felt that her big tiger was a little melancholy .This is not like Ares, shouldn't the big tiger be very excited to win the battle?What kind of strange state is this?Moreover, the group of forest jackals came and scattered suddenly, as if they were not here to eat them?Jiang Xia was almost dizzy by herself, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

Find the bamboo tube and wash the wound with water for Ares. Fortunately, they have the herbal medicine given by Father Ewenmu with them. The wound should be healed tomorrow after taking the medicine.

Finally safe, Jiang Xia exhaled foul breath, it was really a frightening night, it was better to be in the tribe, people were outside, there was hail and forest jackals, and he couldn't even sleep well.

I don't know if I heard her heart, the hail that had been crashing miraculously stopped, and even the clouds seemed to move away, because Jiang Xia actually saw the bright moonlight from the moved clouds, as if a huge A hole was suddenly torn open in the black curtain, exposing the light inside.Jiang Xia felt that the surrounding temperature dropped significantly, and the flames on the fire became weaker, what's going on?Jiang Xia asked Ares with her eyes.

The big tiger looked up at the re-released moon, and a large piece of dark clouds that were still about to move around, "This should be a short-term stop, Xia Xia, I'm afraid we can't rest anymore, we must hurry up and come back next time It's just a big blizzard and a real cold snap."

Hearing it was not a good thing, Jiang Xia quickly prepared to leave, but was held back by Ares, "Xia Xia, come with me."

Walking a few steps to the beast killed by Ares, Jiang Xia didn't know why the big tiger dragged her to see it, but finally saw the beast's appearance clearly through the moonlight. It was clearly an adult wolf, a wild wolf?How big are wild wolves?Why is the color of the fur so strange?Before she could ask, Ares explained her confusion.

"This is not a beast, it can only be regarded as a monster," Ares considered how to speak, "He was an orc before he turned into a monster."

ah?Jiang Xia was terrified, she didn't say anything, she just grabbed her partner's palm.

"Last time I told you that some orcs may be dominated by animal nature after being seriously injured, so the tribe usually gives medicine to seriously injured orcs. I can confirm that he is an orc, but for some reason, he did not die after being seriously injured. On the contrary, he survived successfully, not from our tribe, I don’t know how he got mixed up with the forest jackal, but he has lost his nature, he can only live like a wild beast.”

"Then why did he attack us and bring Lin Jack with him?" Jiang Xia thought for a while, "No, they seem to be targeting you." Thinking about it this way, it is true, they have always been specifically targeting Ares.

The big tiger was silent for a little longer, "I heard from the high priest that such a beastman can not only be called a monster, because he lost the part of humanity, he can only live like a beast, but he still There will be residual thoughts of wanting to become a human." The big tiger paused, "Being able to obtain the flesh and blood power of another orc will restore him to a human form again. It should be that he still has this idea in his subconscious mind."

Jiang Xia immediately withdrew her sympathy. It turned out that she was planning to eat her big tiger, so she was not interested in her. The big tiger who knows her must be unhappy, just like the zombies in that movie.

"Let's burn him and let his soul go back to the beast god, so he won't suffer anymore." Jiang Xia could only suggest this.

Big Tiger looked at his partner with bright eyes and nodded heavily, which was the only thing he could do.

After packing up their bags, Ares took Jiang Xia on their way, with the flames of soul redemption burning behind them, and they were racing against time this time...
