Chapter Eighteen: The Same Kind of Wailing

  The next morning, Xia Ya turned over and immediately heard a miserable cry from beneath him. He suddenly jumped up like he had been chopped with a knife, jumping more than a foot high, and then stared at the miserable insect with wide eyes.

  The poor worm lay there, almost crushed by the rough toad just now, and gently wiped its chest with a sigh of relief.

  "You! Who told you to lie down behind me!" Xia Ya was very depressed, he was so angry that he wanted to grab his hair.

  The poor worm's face was slightly flushed: "It was a bit cold last night, so..."

  Xia Ya felt a strange feeling in his heart - don't get me wrong, it wasn't some kind of infatuation or excitement. It was... nausea!! He immediately thought back to that previous encounter with the pillar supporting the sky, and he spat out a mouthful of saliva on the ground, rubbing his face hard before suppressing that numbness spreading throughout his body. With a fierce glare at the poor bug: "From now on, sleep further away from me... or I might roll over and crush you to death at night!"

  Looking at Xia Ya's "pitiful" expression, the poor worm in her heart suddenly became dissatisfied: How come it's always me who loses out? This turtle is taking advantage of me! If it were in the past, those men wouldn't even dare to touch my hem even if they knelt down and begged me! And yet this turtle is acting as if he was molested!!

  Thinking about it, the poor worm couldn't help but feel a little shy, stood up and tidied up her clothes, actually she was wearing very thick and solid clothes, with that white rhinoceros leather armor on her body, then saw Xia Ya pick up the water bag to pour water, took out the pancake and took two bites.

  Before departure, Xia Ya refused the poor worm's request to wash his face. The reason was that there was not much water left in the water bag, only enough for drinking. Before finding the next source of water, not only could he not wash his face, but also lost the right to brush his teeth.

  This boorish bumpkin, he's not only rude but also unsanitary! The poor worm grumbled discontentedly in his heart.

  Here Xia and Ya stood together, and soon the earth spirits around them were startled.

  A dozen or so goblins waited in the surrounding wilderness for a night, and the poor worm saw those guys crawling up from the ground, some with their buttocks raised and snoring loudly on the ground, being kicked awake by their companions.

  Those earth spirits were chattering and shouting, apparently seeing Xia Ya and Kui Chong leaving, they became somewhat anxious. Probably after dawn, these nearby stray earth spirits suddenly found that a considerable number of their kind had gathered around, and they couldn't help but feel emboldened. Some earth spirits huddled together, whispering to each other for a while, and several with bone clubs and the like in hand began to approach with malicious intentions.

  Xia Ya picked up the luggage that was piled up like a small mountain, and then put the poor worm on the large shield on his shoulder. He saw several goblins with weapons surrounding him from a distance, Xia Ya let out two strange laughs, and kicked a rotten bone on the ground with one foot.

  The bone flew out and accurately hit the forehead of a goblin at the front, whose head was wearing a skullcap that looked like neither sheep nor cow's head as a helmet. As a result, it was smashed into pieces, and the goblin also squatted down, holding its head and wailing.

  Xia Ya's loud laughter crushed the courage of the remaining goblins once again, and they shrieked as they scattered in all directions, running for dozens of meters before stopping in their tracks, looking at Xia Ya with fear.

  It's clear that they're timid, but the large bundle on Xia Ya's back and his sturdy physique make these guys drool with greed and unwilling to give up.

  These guys don't dare get close, but they won't give up either, and can only follow from behind.

  In the morning, two goblins seemed to have come up with a good idea. They picked up stones from the wilderness and threw them over, seemingly able to attack Xia Ya from a distance without having to fear Xia Ya's robust physique.

  But this method was soon proven to be ineffective. Because Xia Ya immediately picked up the stone and counterattacked, and his strength was greater, throwing it farther, two goblins were directly stunned by the stone, and other goblins could only run further away.

  However, by noon, the number of goblins had increased to several dozen. But these were all vagrants, and according to Shia's explanation to Kaito, "They're just a bunch of disorganized stragglers, lacking in weapons and food, and are so hungry they don't have much strength."

  Indeed, the attire of these earth spirits is probably not even comparable to that of the beggars in Ye Huo Town. The most crucial point is that among all these earth spirits, there isn't a single one holding metal weapons - this is also likely the main reason why they don't dare approach.

  At noon, the dwarves finally reached a cooperative intention again. Dozens of dwarves took advantage of Xiaya putting down the poor worm to rest and rushed up. Xiaya raised the captured battle axe and shield without hesitation to meet them. Compared to the short and weak dwarves, Xiaya's strong physique was like that of a giant.

  He charged into the group of goblins like a raging bull, his shield sending two of them flying. One was even crushed to the point where its bones were shattered. Then Shaya's axe swept across, smashing the bone clubs out of the hands of the other two goblins and sending them flying five or six meters away. When they landed on the ground, all they could do was cough up blood.

  The remaining goblins were frightened again, they shrieked and turned to run away like a group of little girls seeing a pervert, Xia Ya caught up in one step, pinched the back of a goblin's neck and pulled it back.

  This poor goblin is the tallest and strongest among this group of vagrants, wearing a piece of armor that can barely be considered intact - well, if you must call it "armor". In fact, it's just a thicker piece of cowhide.

  This green-skinned guy was probably scared to collapse, and was carried back by Xia Ya like a chicken, with his two short legs kicking desperately, his mouth constantly shrieking, and his two arms flailing.

  Xia Ya threw it in front of the poor worm, and before it could struggle to get up, she turned over her battle axe and heavily smashed the handle on the ground spirit's foot. A crisp explosion sound, this poor guy's foot was neatly cut off.

  "Ouch! Ouch!! Ouch!!!" a miserable cry of unbearable pain.

  "Ouch" is an interjection used to express strong emotions in the Orcish language.

  Many people think that the language of goblins is difficult to learn, but in fact it's just the opposite. Although goblins are a separate race with a certain level of intelligence and even civilization, their civilization is so simple as to be laughable. Especially considering the goblin's IQ, their language has been simplified to an extreme degree.

  The word "Orc" is almost all-encompassing in the lives of Goblins, covering every need to express strong emotions.

  For example, when they are happy, they will shout "Oke", when they are angry, they will also shout "Oke", when they are furious, they will shout "Oke", when they eat and are very full, they will shout "Oke", and even when they defecate and feel very relieved, they will also shout "Oke". Even in ** situations where it's very HI, they will still shout "Oke".

  If you see two goblins fighting, with both the one hitting and the one being hit shouting "Orc", then you mustn't feel strange. Moreover, it's possible that they're not actually fighting, but are instead doing some kind of important work to pass on their lineage...

  Of course, now this poor guy is shouting "OK" not because he's happy, but his ugly face has its mouth, nose and eyes almost squeezed together.

  Xia Ya obviously had no intention of blocking its mouth, but let it howl so miserably.

  Xia Ya inserted the war axe into the ground, took out a pancake and continued to take two bites, eating loudly with his mouth open, accompanied by the wailing of this earth spirit, without even looking at it with the corner of his eye.

  The poor worm looked a bit softened, and Xia Ya seemed to have seen through the poor worm's thoughts, coldly saying: "Do you think I'm cruel?"

  The poor worm said in a low voice: "What's the point of catching such a prisoner? You don't plan to kill it, why torture it?"

  "Its miserable cry is useful to us." Xia Ya's explanation was simple: "Only a miserable cry can make its own kind feel fear! This principle applies not only to the earth spirit, but also to humans."

  The poor worm muttered this sentence twice and looked at the turtle with some weirdness: "Was this sentence also taught by your adoptive father?"

  "Yes." Xia Ya nodded.

  As expected, the goblins that had run tens of meters away were about to stop and watch, but hearing the miserable cries coming from here, they couldn't help but run even further in fear.

  After resting enough, Xia Ya got up and continued on his way. This time he did something even more ruthless - he kicked the earth spirit with one foot, pointing in the direction ahead, swinging his axe to emphasize: Move!

  The poor goblin, under the threat of the axe, although having one leg broken, had to get up and hop forward. All the way, it let out miserable cries, just like a dispersing agent, scaring away those goblins lurking behind, making them retreat further and further.

  Sitting on Xia Ya's shoulder, Poor Bug felt a little unbearable, but Xia Ya's one sentence made Poor Bug shut up.

  "If you feel sorry for them, just imagine what it would be like if they caught you - don't forget, this is Wildfire Prairie, where the dead are buried everywhere."

  Dividing line

  Huh... When I updated this chapter, it was 8:35 on Saturday morning.

  I know that at this time, most brothers are still sleeping in because of last night's Friday evening weekend activities, and some brothers and sisters may be lying in bed early on weekends.

  I got out of bed early and started typing for everyone to see.

  Haha, looking up at the sky and shouting "Who can be more miserable than me~~~~~~~~~~~~"

  Alas, is it easy for me to get a few recommendation votes from everyone's pockets?

  Having read this far, you shouldn't be stingy with those few recommendation tickets, right?

  Hehe, vote now, just a light touch of your finger can make Xiao Wu smile~
