Chapter 1494 44. The Taste of Murlocs

The orc warriors had been processing the corpses of the murlocs all morning. The leather was drying on the wooden racks on the beach. Like a piece of hard cardboard.

The conditions on this island are limited, and we didn't carry both Glauber's salt and coarse salt with us, so we couldn't cook leather by the sea, so I plan to bring these dried murlocs back to the leather shop in the imperial capital for professional leather craftsmen to process. .

Of course, if the portal to Xinliu Valley can be opened, these jobs will be done by the group of female half-orcs, but now they must be handed over to the orc warriors. Orcs are naturally good at skinning. , the barbarian slaves almost smashed the murlocs to pieces during the battle. There are not many murloc corpses that can peel off the complete mermaid leather. Most of them need to be carefully repaired by the leatherworker. As a result, the originally simple work has been done noon.

The noon sun made the blue sea sparkle in the distance, and the white sandy beach was a little hot to the feet.

After a short rest in the pergola, I decided to gather everyone together to discuss how to clear the merfolk camp on the island.

Kalanzo thinks.If those murlocs come out from time to time to launch a suicide attack, it will be a big trouble for us, even if it is not a big threat, but during our stay on this small island, we must pay attention to guarding against them .In addition, for all the demon hunters, such a large murloc camp meant an easy fortune, so she planned to rush to the murloc camp with a group of orc warriors and destroy the murloc camp directly.

Justus also advocated that the murloc camp be leveled out, and that all murlocs be killed and turned into murloc leather. These murlocs at the primitive social level and those wretched goblins are not worthy of sympathy. They are a group of Inferior races driven only by their own desires and instincts, these demihumans should be eradicated.

However, this proposal was jointly opposed by Yingli and the tauren warriors. The tauren respected the way of nature and paid attention to the profound truth in the growth of all things. The tauren Luka believed that slaughtering the entire murloc camp was against the way of nature, so Stand up and raise objections.

Ying Li simply felt that it was not good to do so. In her opinion, if she needed to hunt murlocs, she should pick some strong adult murlocs to hunt. There was absolutely no need to destroy the murloc camp.If an adventure group comes here in the future, at least they can gain something in this murloc camp, so they won't return empty-handed.

I think Ying Li is right, and even if we return to the imperial capital through the portal of Xinliu Valley, we can still return to the island through the portal. At least for a period of time in the future, the teleportation altar of Xinliu Valley can still be used with This small island remains connected, which means that we can come to this island to cut leeks at any time.

In fact, I am planning to go to other places on the island to see if there are any other resources on the island. The island is bigger than I imagined, and Justus is still in the bay of the island. A stranded ship was found, but it is not yet determined whether it is a pirate ship or a merchant ship. The island is covered with a large area of ​​woodland, and there may be some other resources in the woods, but all of this needs to be investigated on the spot.

Kalancuo would never object to my proposal, so this brief six-person meeting initially set the tone. When the weather is not so hot in the afternoon, we will go to teach those murlocs a hard lesson.

Next, Kalantso and Justus have to formulate a specific battle plan. This battle plan does not need to be too detailed. After all, it is to wipe out the murlocs on an unknown island. The habits formed during the Nibru Spider-Man's battle must be maintained, and it was also an exercise for Kalanzo and Justus.

……

A few of us sat under the pergola drinking coconut juice, and felt that there was nothing wrong with living a leisurely life on this island.

The stomachs of the barbarian slaves are like a bottomless pit. The grilled shark meat I ate just yesterday morning is hungry again by this time, but these barbarian slaves have a good appetite and are not picky eaters. They can eat anything. So they picked out some meaty ones from the pile of murloc corpses, strung them directly on branches as thick as arms, and held another barbecue banquet in the hot noon. It seemed that these barbarian slaves preferred to eat murlocs.

Princess Ariel's ice coffin was placed under the awning, surrounded by some ice cubes, and four 'continuous frost rune plates' kept the ice coffin covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and the ice coffin showed no sign of melting. I stood next to the ice coffin, looking at the crystal skull on the lid of the ice coffin with some curiosity, and after looking carefully for a long time, I realized that this skull is not a human skull, nor a Janna, but more like an elf their skulls.

Elves have a lifespan of nearly 800 years, and the bones they leave behind after death are usually denser and harder than human bones.

After the back part of the skull was hollowed out, a transparent crystal ball was inlaid in it. There was a cloud of light smoke flowing back and forth on the surface of the crystal ball, which looked a bit like water flow. Many great prophets would have this. The magical items are only embedded in the skull, which makes people feel a little scary.

When Luka dragged the ice coffin up from the sea in the morning, Justus secretly told me that it was a very good soul artifact, not only the crystal ball inside was very precious, but also the skull of the elf There is a lot of history, so I must keep it safe.

The island at noon seemed somewhat hot and dry, and even the sea breeze was warm. Being wrapped in these heat waves, I felt that the sweat from my body was greasy.

The palm leaves on the roof blocked the sun, Yingli, Helena and Becky lay in the pergola for an afternoon nap, and even Katerina leaned against the pergola posts and closed her eyes.

I flipped down the pergola lightly, and the ice coffin stopped in the shade under the pergola, and I squatted down close to the ice coffin.

Putting my face close to the ice coffin, I wiped off some of the frost and snow covering the ice coffin with my hands, only to find that the inner wall was covered with a layer of white mist, so that I was almost blurred when I looked inside from the outside. Princess Ariel's real body can only be seen in a rough outline. The mermaid not only has a slender waist that other women in the imperial capital envy, but also has a plump and round buttocks. Although the waist will be covered with a layer of fish scales, but Nearly perfect contours still make people feel very beautiful.

The scales on a certain part of Princess Ariel's body were attached to the inner wall of the ice coffin. At this moment, I was a little lost in thought, and I couldn't help but get closer to carefully look at those diamond-shaped scales, which were reflected on the mirror-like smooth outer wall of the ice coffin. With a beautiful face, Helena came to me with big blue eyes, looked into the ice coffin with me, and asked me curiously: "Ji Jia, what are you looking at?"

After all, the ice coffin is the corpse of a mermaid. At this time, it is easy to be misunderstood, such as having some bad habits.

I hastily moved myself away from the ice coffin, my face was slightly hot, and I was inevitably a little embarrassed. I didn't answer Helena's question directly, but reached out and touched her white forehead with a thin layer of sweat, and said to her : "Aren't you going to sleep for a while longer? The soul transfer ceremony on the altar last night will inevitably damage your mental strength. It is always good to have more rest."

When Helena smiled like a blooming daffodil, she leaned her head on my shoulder, pointed to her temple, and said to me: "I feel a little groggy here, and the weather here It's stuffy and hot, and I can't sleep a little..."

Her nose is straight and straight, her two small petal-like lips are getting closer to me, her milk-like white skin has a delicate luster, she gently closes her eyes in front of me, I can't help but move closer .

Suddenly, I felt that someone was staring at me. I raised my head just in time to see Becky looking at us with a half-smile while leaning on the railing with both hands.

There was an intriguing smile on her face, and a slight indifference in those eyes, I looked at Becky in a daze.

Afterwards, Helena also opened her eyes, followed my gaze and turned to look at Becky, asking me with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"

At this time, the expression on Becky's face instantly changed to one of stubbornness and shyness. She blushed and quickly turned away from the railing of the arbor. The Becky I was familiar with came back in an instant, like someone The soul came into her body in an instant, and then left quickly after being discovered by me. That look was clearly Ariel.

I tapped Helena's soft lips and said softly: "Nothing!"

I don't know if Ariel will suddenly appear on Helena's body. The soul link will closely connect Yingli, Becky and Helena, and now there is an extra soul in the body of the three girls, although she Currently bound by the soul link contract circle, but occasionally it will make people feel uncomfortable.

I pulled Helena up to the arbor, when Becky was about to lie down beside Yingli, I asked Becky, "Princess Ariel just now?"

Becky sat on the floor of the arbor, her pretty face was still a little red at the moment, she nodded to me, and then whispered: "Ariel just communicated with me, saying that someone is spying on her body and wants to see her." After seeing the ice coffin, I agreed without thinking too much!"

Uh……

……

When we left this beach, a huge sand dune was left on the beach, and the skinned murlocs were buried under the sand.

Although there was still some heat on the beach at dusk, but without the scorching sun, the barbarian slaves and orc warriors came out from the shade of the trees. It was just suitable for hunting at this time. At the front, we were in the middle of the line, and Justus was at the back with 35 barbarian slaves.

The barbarian slaves carried heavy crossbows on their backs, but there were only less than ten giant crossbow bolts left in their quiver, which meant that they needed to use the axes on their waists for melee combat more often. Of course, these barbarian slaves were better at melee combat. Hand to hand.

We've hunted murlocs on many tidal islands on the Vashj plane, so there wasn't much pressure on this hunt at all.

However, when we crossed more than ten kilometers of beaches and bypassed a chaotic reef, we came to the front of this murloc camp, only to find that things were still too simple. According to Kalancuo, there are nearly [-] murlocs. The murloc camp is far larger than I imagined. The thatched huts standing in the sea almost form a large area on the shallows. The bases of these are coconut tree trunks and some palm leaves. The completed thatched cottages can't be seen at a glance.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, densely packed murlocs were moving back and forth in the camp, and some murloc hunters with harpoons in their hands came out of the sea one after another, carrying more or less food on their bodies.

The waves beat on the reef wave after wave...

Those murloc hunters returning from hunting were like triumphant heroes. A group of young and old murlocs emerged from the thatched huts to welcome the warriors back.

These murloc hunters distributed the prey in their hands to other murlocs. These murlocs seemed to know how to use fire. I saw a young murloc being given a fresh fish, which was happily held in its hand. , grasped the tail of the little fish tightly, threw the little fish on a wooden stake vigorously, and when the fish stopped struggling, it was directly sent into the mouth, and it was swallowed in a few mouthfuls.

There are also many watchtowers built around the murloc camp, and many murloc patrols stand on the watchtowers and patrol back and forth.

Our group was right next to the reefs, and the murlocs in the temporary camp hadn't found us yet. I asked Kalanzo, "This is the murloc camp you said had nearly [-] people?"

How can this be over ten thousand people!This murloc camp has at least tens of thousands of people. It is really difficult for us people to completely wipe out this murloc camp. It may not be able to support it physically.

If those of us rush in rashly, and the murloc fighters fight back desperately, there may still be some danger.

Justus' face suddenly became more serious. Kalancuo wanted to charge up with the orc warriors, but Justus reached out and stopped him.

Justus asked us a question: "What factors have prompted the development of such a large tribe of murlocs on the island here? Has there never been an adventure group here? The murlocs have no natural enemies on this island. Even if there are no natural enemies on the island, does it mean that there are no sea beasts that like to hunt murlocs in the nearby waters?"

The tauren Luka thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because these murlocs are not tasty?"

Justus turned his head to look at Luka, and asked back: "Do you think the way the barbarians eat at noon, would those murlocs still taste good?"
