The Wise Lord Blackstone

It is a ruin buried by vines and weeds.

Several goblins were gathering around a bonfire, roasting a fat mountain hare.

Suddenly, a dark shadow enveloped them...

Before the goblins had recovered, a big, sturdy hand lifted the leader of the roasting hare like a chicken.

The remaining few goblins looked back and were so frightened that they turned around and knelt on the ground, shivering...

In front of them was a group of ferocious orcs, and the leader was Blackstone, who was at the peak of Black Iron.

Blackstone looked at the goblin who was shivering in fright after being picked up by him, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

He casually threw it on the ground and said:

"Where is your leader?"

The goblin fell to the ground, but was not angry.

I saw it hurriedly got up, smiled flatteringly at Blackstone, and gestured "Ahhhh" in one direction.

Seeing its funny expression, Blackstone snorted coldly, and took a bite out of the mountain rabbit meat on the bonfire.

But soon, he frowned and spat out the rabbit meat in his mouth, seemingly dissatisfied with the goblin's craftsmanship.

Watching his movements, the goblin was terrified, kowtowed and swallowed.

Blackstone didn't say anything more, but kicked the goblin:

"Lead the way."

His voice cannot be denied.

...

Led by several goblins, the orcs came to a collapsed building in the ruins.

A few goblins first took a few steps forward, and they flipped open a piece of straw, revealing a large hole in the side of the building.

Then, they drilled in skillfully.

The orcs also bent down and followed the goblins into the building.

The building is full of collapsed ruins and discarded rubbish, exuding a discordant smell, while a winding path is left in the middle.

Led by the goblins, the orcs continued to deepen.

And as they went deeper and deeper, the vision in front of Blackstone and others gradually broadened, and finally came to an empty cave in seven turns and eight turns.

This is the hidden stronghold of the cave tribe in the elf forest, and it is also a transit point for hunting elves.

There was a bonfire in the center of the cave, and three orcs were lying lazily around the bonfire, sleeping soundly.

And beside them, there were several goblins, holding huge leaves to keep fanning them.

In addition to them, there is a man-made stone prison in the deeper part of the cave.

Through the iron bars, I could vaguely see a few pairs of eyes flashing with fear and despair inside.

Blackstone first glanced at Shi Diao with a surprised expression, and then turned his attention to the three orcs.

Seeing the half-orc sleeping leisurely, his already vicious face looked even more ugly.

I saw him snorted coldly, walked straight over, and gave the three of them a kick.

"Which bastard is arguing about your half-orc grandfather's sweet dreams!"

The three orcs were woken up by a gasp, and while roaring, they drew out their weapons in anger.

However, when they saw the appearance of the person coming, their expressions suddenly changed, they immediately shrank, and they became timid.

"Uh... Mr. Blackstone, you... why did you come to the base?"

They embarrassed and smiled, and quickly hid the mace and the big knife behind them, flatteringly.

"Hmph, three trash with no vigilance at all!"

Blackstone first cursed with hatred for iron, and then said solemnly:

"Master Jushan sent me to investigate some situations, I have something to ask you."

The three orcs looked at each other, and their expressions gradually became serious:

"Are you here to investigate the disappearance of the Orc hunting party?"

Blackstone glanced at them and nodded:

"This is also one of my goals, but before that, I would like to ask you, have there been any changes in the Elf forest recently? Especially... around the Fei Leng Cui Ruins."

Hearing Blackstone's words, the three orcs were slightly taken aback, they looked at each other, and then shook their heads:

"This...it seems...there's nothing special about it."

Blackstone's expression sank slightly:

"You better think about it... don't tell me you've been sleeping in the cave all this time."

As he said that, the pressure of the upper black iron on his body gradually exuded, and the three orcs who were in the lower realm of black iron did not dare to breathe.

Under the pressure of the high-ranking existence, the three of them knelt on the ground almost at the same time.

Suddenly, one of the orcs raised his head and shouted while trembling:

"Lord Blackstone, I...I remembered, I remembered! I remembered something was wrong recently!"

Hearing his words, Blackstone gradually put away his deterrence:

"Say it."

The orc kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, then said timidly:

"Recently... There seem to be more low-level Beast nearby recently, and many of them are Warcraft that used to only operate on the Fei Leng Cui side. They seem to be migrating collectively..."

"Huh? Low-level Beast migration?"

A sharp light flashed in Blackstone's eyes.

In the elf forest, the territorial awareness of the beasts is quite strong. Under normal circumstances, such migration will not occur.

And once there is migration, there are generally two situations.

One is that they have found a better place to live and actively migrated.

The other is that they feel some kind of threat and are forced to migrate...

The elf forest is rich in products, and it is simply a paradise for monsters, so the first situation rarely occurs.

Not to mention that the area around the stronghold of the Grotto Tribe is already barren...

So the first case can be ruled out first.

Then...the result speaks for itself.

"They are avoiding something... Something makes them feel a sense of crisis, and they have to migrate collectively. And the source... I'm afraid it is Fei Leng Cui!"

Blackstone's eyes flashed.

If he expected it well, I am afraid that this is the key to the chief priest of the Ju Shan asking him to investigate.

After pondering for a while, he asked again:

"Are there any powerful beasts among them?"

The half-orc who answered shook his head:

"No, no... all of them are very weak beasts, and the highest is only the first entry into the lower realm of black iron, so we didn't care about it before."

Weak beast?

Blackstone's eyes flashed again.

This shows that the threat is not very strong, at least those high-level Beasts do not feel the crisis...

For a moment, Blackstone remembered the strange elves in the oracle mentioned by the chief priest of the ju shan before he left.

"The elf fighting with the goblins..."

He was lost in thought.

Could it be... that the strange elves mentioned by Lord Ju Shan are doing something wrong?

And the Blessed Ones of Death mentioned by the chief priest...

"Right! Right! I remember two things again!"

Just as Blackstone pondered, a half-orc raised his hand.

Blackstone looked at him:

"Say it."

The orc took a deep breath and said:

"About a month ago... Dozens of goblins escaped to the stronghold, but most of them seem to be frightened in some way and are very unstable..."

"In addition, the last destination of Lord Gulu and the others is the core area of ​​the Elven Forest where Fei Leng Cui is located..."

Blackstone's face sank when he heard this:

"Why didn't you say these words earlier!"

The orc trembled slightly, and said carefully:

"That... Goblins have always been timid, and we couldn't understand what they were screaming, so we didn't care... As for Lord Gulu... Lord Gulu... I was nervous just now... I forgot..."

"Hmph, trash!"

Blackstone cursed.

He didn't go to see the three orcs again, but kept combining the information he got in his mind.

Faintly, he already had some kind of guess:

"A group of low-level elves have returned to the elf forest. They seem to have been favored by the god of death and expelled the goblins of Fei Leng Cui and the nearby monsters. It is very likely that they are planning something in Fei Leng Cui..."

"Among them, it is very likely that Death God's favored people participated, and the disappearance of the orc hunting team led by Gulu is probably because of their secrets..."

"The strength of the God of Death should be very strong... Otherwise, there is no chance for them to encounter unexpected events. Even if there is a sacred object handed over to me by the chief priest, I may not be able to fight it."

"If you rush into Fei Leng Cui, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous..."

"Hehe, it seems that the group of elves are not as loyal as the legend, and they will be involved with the god of death..."

There was a hint of mockery in Blackstone's expression.

With a twinkle in his eyes, he asked again:

"Are there still beasts escaping around now?"

"Yes... that's right..."

The half-orc who answered was trembling.

Blackstone was lost in thought again.

The demon beasts are still being expelled, which shows that those elves should still be active around Fei Leng Cui.

That is to say... he should have a chance to scratch his tongue around Fei Leng Cui!

This should be a safer approach!

Thinking of this, Blackstone issued an order:

"Go gather a group of goblins and follow me to investigate the situation around Fei Leng Cui."
