Chapter 21 Red Fireworks

"Boom boom boom", the magic motorcycle splits the grassland and is freely speeding on the grassland. In such an empty and vast environment, it is difficult to judge the specific speed. The surrounding scenery is close to the same, which can easily create an illusion of slow movement. Of course, there is no need to judge the speed here. The huge roar is enough to alarm the surrounding beasts to avoid it. All riders need to do is to accelerate and accelerate, let the hair fly as hard as possible in the air, and let the bleak cool breeze on the grassland blow out their enthusiasm for speed fire.

Ten minutes ago, Freya saw a faint smoke pillar from afar, which was the symbol of the tribe, the smoke in the evening. On the grassland, before the evening, the orcs who went out to grazing would drive the beasts back to the tribe. Even if they were not familiar with the environment, they would not have to worry about getting lost. Walking along the smoke in the direction of the smoke, they would always return to their homes. Sometimes, the two nomadic small tribes were too close to each other, and the orcs would accidentally go to the other tribe in the wrong direction, but that was nothing. As long as it was not during the tribe war, the rough and enthusiastic orcs would entertain the lost shepherds with the best wine and meat like a banquet for guests. After dawn, experienced old shepherds would also ask the experienced old shepherds to track their footprints and send the lost people back to their own tribe.

However, the five hungry and tired adventurers have been driving at high speed for five minutes but still haven't reached the position of the smoke cooking stove. This is another common illusion on the grassland. Too empty and flat leads to a large field of vision, making it difficult to make a correct judgment on the distance. However, unless they are lost people who are on the verge of death, this illusion will not cause too much trouble. It will only make people constantly expect and fail, causing the irritation of the deceived curses.

"This time it's really coming." Panis drove side by side with Freya's magic motorcycle and said loudly: "In another five minutes, you will probably see the herders' tents directly."

"You have said this twice." Catherine said dissatisfiedly: "We are no longer going to believe you."

"This time it's true," said Panis. "I've already smelled the aroma of barbecue, and I'll definitely not lie to you this time."

"That is to say." Catherine accurately grasped the point of her words and gritted her teeth and asked, "Has she deliberately lied to us before?"

"Hahaha." Panis said with a dry smile: "The wind is really cold tonight, hahahaha."

The four girls gritted their teeth together. If they weren't afraid of causing a tragedy of overturning, they probably would have fallen into him. Even so, in the girls' consciousness, Panis should have been chased by everyone and ran around the orc grassland for three times.

"The situation is not right. It's not just the smell of barbecue, but also the smell of burnt fur." ​​Panis suddenly stopped laughing and his face darkened. He frowned and said, "No herder would be stupid enough to barbecue with the fur."

"Swoosh." In the dim twilight ahead, a firework suddenly shot into the sky, and the blood-red fireworks exploded in the air, which was particularly eye-catching even at dusk. The red light had an ominous meaning and reflected in the adventurers' pupils.

"Helping signal?" Catherine muttered in confusion. In the wild, this red firework is generally used as a distress signal, and it is the most urgent case of distress signal, but different forces. The patterns after the fireworks explode are also different. People who are familiar with this knowledge can often distinguish the identity of the helper through the pattern. However, although Catherine is familiar with all forces, she cannot distinguish the meaning of the fireworks. She can only mutter in confusion: "Who can recognize this signal?"

The two riders slowed down the speed of the car while tacit understanding. Although the other party was so anxious that they needed to send out a red distress signal, it was the stupidest behavior to rush straight over when the situation was unknown. Even if they decided to go over to rescue, they had to be ready for battle before rushing over. Otherwise, it would be no different from being sent to death. Panis kept moving forward at a low speed and frowned: "I can't recognize it either. I have never seen such a thing."

"Can they be the tribe herder?" Lina asked uncertainly: "The tribe is in danger, and then uses fireworks to ask other tribes for help. This is also very likely."

"Impossible." Catherine shook her head and said, "This kind of fireworks is relatively special and stays in the air for a long time. Only special professions that are ready to fight at any time can be used. It is impossible for herders to use them. And thinking about it, we know that the tribes on the grassland are very far apart. Most of the time, even if they use fast horses, they have to run for a day or two. Even if they really send out a distress signal, they will probably have to wait to bury them when the people from other tribes arrive here."

"Then..." Lina tilted her head and thought for a while, and said unwillingly: "Maybe there is an inconspicuous old man hidden in the tribe. When she was young, she had joined a mercenary group or adventure group, but the team was destroyed, and only he escaped. This distress signal is the relic retained at that time, and it was finally used at this time."

Catherine glared at her, not willing to say anything more to her. Instead, Vivian's voice floated over in front of Penis: "I told you not to read too many bad novels, look at what strange thoughts are in your mind now."

"I think it's quite possible." Lina shook her hair and said dissatisfiedly: "You guys don't understand literature at all."

"I seem to have seen similar graphics somewhere." Freya ignored the friendly exchanges between the girls, maintained the same speed as Pennis, and looked up at the blood-red signal gradually disappearing in the sky: "It seems to be a signal in the army, but I can't remember which army it should belong to."

"If it's an army, there are only orcs here." Vivian asked comfortably leaning in Pannis' arms. Along the way, Vivian was the easiest of the three riders. After being promoted to the legend, Vivian and Freya had a leap-by increase in the magic reserves, and the time it consumed to supply the magic motorcycle was naturally increased significantly. Therefore, in the past ten days, Freya was driving most of the time. Only a few times when Freya was in poor condition would Vivian replace him for one or two hours. Therefore, most of the time, Vivian relied on Pannis like he is now, and the burden on his mental power was even lighter than when he was resting at home.

"Pennis." Catherine thought for a while and said, "You have a sharp sense. Can you tell what's going on before? If it's really related to the army, will it be a tribal war between the orcs?"

"No, it's meaningless to send a distress signal in the tribal war." Panis made a gesture, and the two magic motorcycles stopped quickly and stopped making roaring noises. After the surroundings were quiet, Panis closed his eyes and sensed silently for a while before opening his eyes and said, "The distance is too far, and there are no sounds, but it should be related to the monster. We happened to be at the downwind, and I smelled the fishy smell on the monster, and there are quite a few."

"Group of beasts?" Catherine asked in confusion: "This is on the edge of the grassland, are there a large group of monsters?"

"Of course there is." Lina said: "Spring and autumn are the most active seasons for beasts. Even if you encounter beasts on the edge of the grassland, it is not surprising that the grassland monsters are instinctively unwilling to leave the grassland, so the more powerful beasts the beasts are, the less close to the edge, because there is less food there and the environment is not used to it. You can see that this is also the knowledge learned from novels, and you dare to discriminate against me casually."

"It turned out to be a group of beasts that were preparing to accumulate energy to survive the winter." Catherine automatically ignored Lina's last words and nodded, "Let's go and take a look. If the group of beasts really attack people, you can't ignore them."

"Why do I go and have a look first?" Panis asked, "Confirm the specific situation?"

"Forget it." Catherine said: "The distance is too far, and it takes too much time to travel. Let's get closer and see. If you can't see what's going on, you're going to confirm."

Panis nodded, and reactivated the magic motorcycle with Freya. With the roar of the machinery, the five people began to approach the position of fireworks and smoke again, but the speed was obviously much lower than the beginning, probably about the same as running at the mid-speed of a horse. Three minutes later, Panis looked and said loudly: "I know what kind of magic beast it is, the broken-tailed dog."

Another minute later, Catherine nodded and said, "It's true that there are dog barking, and there are so many. It seems that it is a group of broken-tail dogs. If you move forward a little longer, you should be able to see the battlefield soon. If there are really only broken-tail dogs, it will be easy."

"Blacktail dogs, a species unique to orc grasslands, with individual levels ranging from black iron to bronze. The high-number group levels float between the silver and gold levels according to their number. However, the Brokentail dogs do not have symbiotic monsters, nor do they have the habit of fighting with other monsters." Lina, behind Panis, relied on Panis's body to block the wind, opened the Warcraft Illustrated Book in her bag and read: "If it is a Brokentail dog, you don't have to worry about other monsters, which their nature does not allow."

As Lina said, the broken-tailed dog is a very common endemic species on the grassland. In most cases, it is used to operate in five or six family units. If there is only one, even two or three ordinary people can run away with weapons. Even if there is a five or six family community, they will only dare to attack the livestock of herdsmen in the wild, and can be easily driven away by the herdsmen with torches. However, the broken-tailed dog has the bloodline of a wolf after all. Once it gathers into groups, it seems to have transformed. Not only will the combat effectiveness be greatly improved, but its courage will also increase accordingly. It will actively provoke some creatures that are much stronger than their individuals. Occasionally, the broken-tailed dogs will attack the tribe.
