Chapter 86 Legend
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Suluo and Chu Moyuan exchanged a glance, their eyes both showing a solemn expression.
"There are orcs here?"
"That's not right. What winter? This is the south, it's spring now."
If Chu Moyuan hadn't been there, she would have thought she was hallucinating.
Chu Moyuan also realized that something was wrong here. Not only was it snowing, but someone was even talking about winter. He said, "Let's take a look first."
Qiao Suluo quickly got up and went to the cave entrance. Chu Moyuan pulled her to prevent her from accidentally falling in.
Qiao Suluo moved closer to the cave entrance and looked out. Through the wind and snow, she could see four orcs dressed in animal skins.
They carried a wild beast and walked in one direction.
"Something's not right. Why are the orcs here still wearing animal skins?"
Now, the Beast World continent has developed a certain level of civilization. The Great Jing Dynasty has entered the feudal society of the Beast World. Although it is still very backward, people no longer wear animal skins. Even in the cold northern regions, the beastmen are used to wearing clothes.
As Qiao Suluo looked at these things, a deep sense of doubt and unease flashed in her eyes.
Chu Moyuan said solemnly, "Secret Realm."
"What did you say?"
Chu Moyuan looked outside, his brows furrowed tightly. "We must have accidentally entered a secret realm."
"It is said that the secret realm of the Ancient Mystery Forest is completely isolated from the outside world, forming its own world."
Qiao Suluo's eyelashes trembled, and she froze for a moment. "So those beastmen are the natives of this secret realm?"
Chu Moyuan shook his head and said, "According to rumors, there are no beastmen in the secret realm, only opportunities and good fortune."
Qiao Suluo was full of doubts. "Then what about these orcs?"
Chu Moyuan said solemnly, "You wait in the cave first. I'll go and investigate. If anything happens to me, you'll have to find a way to leave on your own."
Whether those orcs were friend or foe was unknown, but they couldn't just wait here. They needed to figure out a lot of things. If it really was an unusually cold winter and they couldn't leave for the time being, they would have better go into the tribe to spend the winter.
Qiao Suluo grabbed his sleeve and said, "I'll go with you. I might be able to help in some way."
Chu Moyuan felt it was dangerous to go together, but Qiao Suluo insisted, so Chu Moyuan had no choice but to take her along.
But when they followed the sound and found the four orcs, "Brothers..."
Chu Moyuan spoke to them, but they seemed not to see him and walked right past him.
"How is this going?"
Chu Moyuan tried several times, but it was the same every time, and they couldn't even touch the four orcs.
"This is not only a secret realm, but it may also be an illusion."
Qiao Suluo looked at the four orcs and asked, "Are they orcs from the illusion?"
Chu Moyuan remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Qiao Suluo was even more anxious to find Bai Qianluo at this moment. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. There was a dark aura on Bai Qianluo. She used her purification ability to sense it. Maybe she could sense it.
She sensed it and saw the seedling of the purification ability stretching northward.
"Let's find Bai Qianluo first; he should be nearby."
Because of the raging wind and snow, it was indeed difficult for them to discern directions and walk, but with the purifying seedlings sensing them, Qiao Suluo found Bai Qianluo in no time.
Bai Qianluo was almost completely covered by snow at this moment. He remained motionless in the snowdrift, as if frozen into an ice sculpture.
"Bai Qianluo, Bai Qianluo..."
Qiao Suluo called out to him but received no response. Qiao Suluo quickly used her healing and purification abilities.
But after using it, his body should have recovered, but there was still no reaction.
Chu Moyuan said, "The snow here is getting heavier and heavier. Let's go back to the cave first."
As he spoke, Chu Moyuan transformed into a snake and coiled around Bai Qianluo.
As soon as Chu Moyuan rolled up Bai Qianluo and moved his body aside, the leaves underneath were revealed. Qiao Suluo's eyes lit up when she saw them. "Wild Solomon's Seal."
"This is real, not a hallucination, right?"
Qiao Suluo reached out and started digging, and was able to touch it.
After she dug it out, the system immediately said, "Ding, two catties and six ounces of wild Solomon's Seal have been detected. One ounce and two points. Host, would you like to sell it?"
Hearing these words from the system, Qiao Suluo was extremely excited.
"sell."
After Qiao Suluo confirmed the sale, 76 points were immediately credited to her system store account.
Qiao Suluo was so excited she almost cried.
When Chu Moyuan wrapped Bai Qianlu up in his arms, he saw that her eyes were red and thought that she was so sad because she was worried about Bai Qianlu.
Chu Moyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't be sad, he should be fine."
Qiao Sulu nodded.
It was indeed very tiring for Chu Moyuan to lead them back to the cave through the wind and snow. After arriving at the cave, Chu Moyuan was so exhausted that he leaned against the wall to rest, his face even paler.
Qiao Suluo went to check on Bai Qianluo's condition, took her pulse and confirmed that Bai Qianluo was fine, she had just fallen into a deep sleep and would be fine when she woke up.
Seeing the increasingly heavy snow outside, Chu Moyuan didn't dare to rest. He got up and said, "Bai Qianluo should wake up soon. With him here, you should be fine. I'll go and hunt some game."
Qiao Suluo quickly took out a small pot of coal and food from her spatial storage, saying, "Don't go hunting, it's too dangerous outside. I have food here."
Fortunately, she had 76 points in her space. She redeemed some items in the space shop, but she didn't need too many points. 76 points were enough.
Chu Moyuan looked at Qiao Suluo with a shocked expression.
He knew she had secrets, but he didn't expect so many. He thought he knew enough, but she always managed to surprise him.
Chu Moyuan was at a loss for words.
"I'll cook some noodles first."
In the past, Qiao Suluo would not have dared to reveal these things.
But now she's practically in this life-or-death situation with Chu Moyuan, and she trusts him.
Actually, what Qiao Suluo took out was instant noodles. Instant noodles are relatively cheap and have flavor, and drinking some soup can warm the body.
So let's eat instant noodles first.
"Whoosh..."
Outside, a fierce snowstorm raged, but inside the cave, coal was burning, radiating warmth.
Bai Qianluo woke up while cooking instant noodles.
The first thing he did upon waking was to rush to Qiao Suluo's side, anxiously examining her from head to toe. "My lady, how are you? Are you injured? Is anything bothering you?"
Qiao Suluo said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Once Bai Qianluo was sure Qiao Suluo was alright, she pulled her into her arms.
His memory was stuck on the scene of being swallowed by the vortex at the end; he had failed to protect her.
When Bai Qianlu woke up and saw that she was alright, she felt like she had survived a disaster.
Qiao Suluo explained the current situation to Bai Qianluo.
Upon hearing these words, Bai Qianluo's usually cool and aloof expression turned serious. "I once heard a legend that is different from the ancient secret forest legend we are hearing now."
"What is it?"
"It is said that a thousand years ago, a great war broke out in the snowy region of the northern part of the Beast World Continent. Dark creatures invaded the Beast World Continent and ravaged the beastmen. It seemed that the beastmen of the Beast World Continent were about to be wiped out. At that time, a snowy region beastman with innate supernatural powers used a unique secret method to seal the dark creatures. As for whether this snowy region beastman is alive or dead, no one knows. Some say he fell into a deep sleep, while others say he sacrificed himself."
"Perhaps the orcs you saw before were the native inhabitants of the snowy region a thousand years ago. It is said that the snowy orc with the innate supernatural powers also possessed ice and snow-related abilities."
