“Air, Datara.”
The forest trolls on the outskirts also bowed respectfully in the frenzy of the forest troll shouts and started shouting loudly as well.
“What, what happened?” Not only Han Shuo, but the dwarves and elves around them were also astonished by the sudden change. One of the dwarves asked in surprise.
“Skeleton warriors with wings seem to be similar to the demons worshipped by forest trolls.This demon is a very evil demon and likes to seize everything. I had heard the elders within the tribe mention that the demon the forest troll worshipped was called Datara! “Benedict seemed to remember something at this moment and suddenly shouted.
Not too far away in the distance, a forest troll priest, so old that it seemed as if he would close his eyes in a final slumber at any moment, crawled swiftly towards the kneeling small skeleton. Han Shuo was somewhat surprised that he crawled up quite quickly, and had reached the small skeleton in such a short period of time. The old forest troll priest muttered some things in the language of the forest troll in the small skeleton.
The small skeleton stood there in a fainted state with its bone dagger, scratching its bright and clean head, as if it had no idea what was going on. He turned to look at Han Shuo blankly, as if waiting for Han Shuo to give him an order.
After hearing Benedict's words, Han Shuo had a good idea that something extraordinary had happened. These forest trolls must have thought that the little skeleton was a demon they worshipped. The old priest seemed to want to bring the small skeleton somewhere, judging from his interaction. All the forest trolls in the back were frozen in worship on the ground, and there was no mention of the matter of attacking the dwarf village anymore.
“Han, what happened, what should we do?” A dwarf looked at Han Shuo and asked blankly.
Han Shuo thought furiously when he heard the dwarf's question. His head also hurt with a difficult situation. He hesitated for a while, unsure of what would happen after that and said to them, “I will think of a way to delay the forest troll. You leave the valley and find a safe haven with the head and Bennett. I thought I'd be able to find you guys again. ”
“Is it dangerous for you?” The dwarf somewhat agitatedly left Han Shuo's side and spoke a little reluctantly.
“Don't worry, I have a way to handle it. Benedict, I think your party should go too. The skeletal warrior I was a little strange, but I don't think he was a demon worshipped by the forest. I can't predict how well the situation will progress after that, I think you'll be safer if you go with them. “Han Shuo tries to slowly coax the dwarves and elves he sees.
“We're leaving, very dangerous here. I think we should tell the elders first. “Benedict thought briefly, nodded and retreated with another elf after speaking.
Under Han Shuo's insistence, the dwarves also left slowly, reluctantly to the mountain valley. One of the original demons, who was continuously observing the forest trolls, suddenly parted and followed the dwarves as they retreated. This allowed Han Shuo to clearly see the path the dwarves took to escape.
After a while, there was no one else at the entrance of the village other than Han Shuo and the small skeleton. the original demon Han Shuo had observed the movements of the dwarves and discovered that they were crossing a cold river and leaving from the diagonal gap in the mountain valley.
“Does anyone here speak the common language of the Continent?” Han Shuo walked out from behind and stood beside the small skeleton, asking in human language.
The old priest, who had kneeled in front of the small skeleton and spoke to him in the language of the forest troll, suddenly looked at Han Shuo, using human language in a slightly unprepared manner, “You are with the mighty Datara, why are you a cunning human being? ”
“Are you sure that he is the same as your Datara?” Han Shuo did not know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head and asked strangely.
The forest troll's face was a monstrous green and dry skin that hung all over his body like the bark of an old tree that had been devoured by the wind and rain for many years. He showed a very disgusted look and said, “Of course I will not be wrong, this is the representation of the divine Datara on this earth.”
As the old priest spoke, he earnestly took out a precious ancient scroll from the leather bag. The scroll slowly opened as his wrinkled hand opened it. Apart from some notched lines in the language of the forest trolls that were difficult to make, it was an image of a large skeleton with wings on its back. The skeletal bones were pure white and the wings on his back were bare feathers. Based on the photos, the wings really bear a lot of resemblance to the bone spurs on the back of that small skeleton.
There was a barren mountain peak under the foot of this huge white skeleton with all sorts of gold, silver, and jewels piling up on the mountain peak, including some extremely precious looking gems. The white skeleton had an empty socket for one eye and a black blindfold covering the other, a single-eyed pirate outfit that would burn, attack, and loot.
“This is the appearance of our mighty Datara, we will not be wrong. He is the representative of Datara in this world and will bring us more gold, silver, and jewels. We will have so many gems and food that we will never go hungry. The mighty Datara will lead our tribe to seize the lands of deceitful men! ”The voice of the old forest troll priest became very strong and he shouted loudly.
Other than being slightly smaller and not pure white, the small skeleton was indeed very similar to the Datara depicted on the scroll. No wonder the greedy forest troll thought the small skeleton was a representative of the looting demon Datara.
Although that unimaginable strange situation made Han Shuo feel quite surprised, a thought suddenly struck him as he pondered carefully. A trace of an evil smile appeared on his lips as he gave the order to the small skeleton.
The small skeleton that was originally standing foolishly there with a bone dagger in hand suddenly waved a bone dagger at this moment, when his empty left hand made a gesture that showed everyone to get up.
“Oh! Datara has heard our prayers! ”The old forest troll priest immediately jumped in joy as his chicken-like legs, withered hands also waved, speaking very ceremonially in the language of the low forest troll.
The small skeleton waited until all the forest trolls stood up to use his empty left hand to point to Han Shuo, according to his orders. Under the puzzled gaze of the forest troll, he used his empty hand to point at himself.
“He intended for me to be his liaison and interact with you.” Han Shuo rose proudly and spoke arrogantly to the old priest. The small skeleton nodded in a very timely manner after Han Shuo gave the order, as if verifying what Han Shuo had just said.
“Why, why is this complicated human being your liaison?” The old forest troll priest could not accept this and immediately asked in confusion.
The small skeleton had lengthened the bone dagger and had already placed it on the neck of the old priestess as soon as the old forest troll priest finished speaking. The small skeleton stood on tiptoes, trying to appear taller than him. His two empty eye sockets stared straight at the old priest as sounds of bone clattering rang out from his mouth.
The old forest troll priest was instantly frightened to the point of losing all the strength in his body, falling to the ground and kneeling again. He raised his hand high above his head and shouted, “I will never dare to question your decision again, please don't take everything we have!”
None of the forest trolls who stood around dared to make a move when they saw the most respected old priest in their tribe openly threatened. The only one standing there with his head hung and spoke something in the language of the forest trolls.
“Wake up, wake up, your noble Datara has forgiven you. I thought you would acknowledge my status as a liaison now? “Han Shuo chuckled inside as he spoke with every serious appearance to the old priest.
Holding his head, the old priest spoke with a clearly visible reluctance on his face and nodded, “Will the great Datara and her liaison come with us to forgive our tribe with their presence? We have a few things to offer the great Datara! ”
“Didn't you come to rob dwarves?” Han Shuo started a little and opened his mouth to ask.
“No, after I heard the tribe members describe the great one last time, I immediately told the tribe to look for a big trail. Those annoying dwarves are just a small village of a hundred people and are not worthy of sending so many elites from our tribe. We have heard that a great one appeared nearby, which is why we sent so many tribes this time, so that we can welcome the great one back to his sacred land. ”The old forest troll priest shook his head and explained to Han Shuo.
“Holy land, what holy land?” Han Shuo asked in surprise.
“A palace that our tribe has built especially for the big ones. There are even antiques passed down from generation to generation. It is said that this is a great Datara place to start, and so we will offer everything to the great this time. The old “priest looked at Han Shuo with slight disdain, but did not dare to violate the orders of that small skeleton as he explained impatiently.
“Very good, very good! Let's leave! ”Han Shuo was overjoyed when he heard these words and immediately urged the forest trolls to leave immediately.
The old priest did not say much and waved his hand. The burly-looking forest troll in the distance walked humbly towards the old priest. After giving a series of orders in the gobbled book, the leader immediately gave orders to five, the, six hundred forest trolls to ignore the matter of the dwarves and set out for the deeper parts of the Dark Forest with great fanfare.
Four tall and burly troll warriors carried luxurious carriages made of black jade with some sparkling gems embedded within. There were soft feathers spreading within it as the small skeleton rode on it on its way to the depths of the Dark Forest. Looks like the forest troll is ready.
The small skeleton lay casually inside, looking over and over. As a liaison, Han Shuo could not enjoy such comfort and could only walk with them. They met many magical creatures along the way, but ordinary magical beasts did not dare to approach the large group consisting of five to six hundred forest trolls. Even some level three or two wild and ferocious wild beasts decided not to continue the hunt when they saw the large group proceed festively. Instead, they chose to stay far, far away from this large group made of evil tribes.
On the outskirts of the Dark Forest, an innate greedy forest troll, with a love for famous and much feared robberies. Whether it was some of the more unusual tribes living on the outskirts of the Dark Forest or the adventurers and merchants venturing into the Dark Forest, the, they would always be robbed to a certain degree whenever they encountered a forest troll.
Apart from some of the more powerful life forms in the depths of the Dark Forest, this famous villain on the outskirts of the Dark Forest was universally hated and feared. As a hated enemy, the elves had fought several times with the forest trolls and could not gain victory. Nothing could stop their innate urge for robbery.
As they neared the depths of the Dark Forest, even the forest trolls that had previously started to sound carefully deepened the deeper they entered the Dark Forest, as if fearing desperately making a disturbance.
“Why are you becoming more timid the further inside you go?” Han Shuo had detected the abnormality of the forest troll and could not help but ask the old priest beside him.
With a quick glance around, the old priest explained, “We are now entering the middle area of the Dark Forest. There are many high-level beasts here and some special tribes. The humans that appeared here were also difficult to deal with. We hope that we won't meet them, or there will be problems. ”
A thunderous collision came from a place not too far away as the six to seven meter tall white stone giant slowly moved away with a huge tree thrown on his shoulder. A low voice sounded from the sky as a huge black shadow flew over them. When the shadow was cast to the ground, two long and slender necks could easily be made.
“The dust-covered white stone is a giant mountain ridge. Their nature is quite peaceful and they do not like to fight. However, if you make him angry, it will be a disaster. What had just flown overhead was the lowest level two-headed dragon. They were actually not dragons, only second-rate magical beasts, but they could spit out poison and were hard to deal with. “The old priest spoke in explanation after seeing Han Shuo's astonishment.
Nodding, Han Shuo sighed with appreciation. “I finally understand why you dare to act wild only on the outskirts of the Dark Forest!”
