"Humans, battles. Could it be that wars often happen here?”Li Jiang said in surprise.
"The demons lack food. After every war, the corpses of the two races would be snatched back by the demons as food for the winter. Niya's father had not returned after the war.”Niya's mother continued.
"You are an unusual eagle. Any creature that can come out of the Weier Volcano is not simple. According to the old man's description, our village was not here at first, but lived in the Weier Volcano Group. Originally, it was not called the Weier Volcano Group, but the Hess Plateau. Tens of thousands of years ago, for some unknown reason, frequent earthquakes occurred on the plateau, causing the earth to sink. The lava in the ground rolled out, and the tribes had no choice but to leave their homeland.”
"How many tribes are there in your village now?" Li Jiang asked.”
"According to the old man, when we orcs first lived on the Hess Highlands, there were hundreds of thousands of members of the tribe. They were the noble orc tribe. The leader, King Zuma, the high priest, King Wilma, and King Zuma's younger brother, the Zuma Guard. We will lead the tribe together."
"The Beastmen tribe had a noble bloodline, but the Demon Commander, Zacharias, deliberately used treasures to lure the leader, King Zuma. This caused him and the beastmen to become a group of bloodthirsty slaves. Under the bewitchment of the Wilma King, they launched a barbaric attack on the Eastern Human Continent.”Mother Niya paused.
"Then why did the orcs join the war between the demons and humans?”Li Jiang said.
Looking at Li Jiang, Mother Niya said,"The leader, King Zuma, led his tribe to attack the Eastern Human Continent. During the war, he was beheaded by the Eastern God, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan. Without the leadership of their leader, King Zuma, the tribe had weakened. The High Priest Wilma King had defected to the demons and sold his race to them as slaves.”
"At that time, a young and brave Beastman appeared in the tribe, Will. He was unwilling to be enslaved by the demons. He led the orcs who were also unwilling to be enslaved to make a strong resistance. Just when they should have driven away the invading demons, the high priest Wilma King jumped out and chanted an incantation, turning the brave Will into a black crow. Without the leader to resist, the demon invaders quickly took control of the tribe. From then on, the tribe became the slaves of the demons. In order to commemorate Will, the orcs renamed the volcanoes that the Hess Plateau had turned into the Will Volcano Group.”
"Speaking of the demon race's lack of food, the demon race doesn't know how to irrigate. The food they harvest every year can't even fill their stomachs. The terrain was harsh, and the environment and climate were very different. That was why the corpses of the two races on the battlefield were snatched back as food for the winter. The human countries had long hated the demons for their barbaric acts.”Niya's mother felt a little sleepy and yawned without saying anything.
Li Jiang asked a few more questions, but Niya's mother didn't say anything. Just like that, Niya woke him up at daybreak.
"Little Eagle, did you sleep well last night? Hehe, I think you must be sleeping soundly.”Niya smiled at Li Jiang.
"I slept very well. Thank you, Niya.”Li Jiang thanked him.
"Alright, it's time to find food. We can only drink water this morning.”
"Where can we find food?"
"Just follow me."
At this time, Niya's mother also walked out of the cave, wearing a crude leather dress. On his back was the same crudely woven frame.
"Where is your mother going?" Li Jiang asked in confusion.
"Mother wants to go to the Bloodthirsty Forest in the south to build roads. This is a rule set by the demons. All the adults in our village are going. The adult Orc men are forced to join the military camp, and the women will build roads or fortresses in the rear. Niya will also build roads like her mother in a month.”Niya said worriedly.
Li Jiang saw the worry in Niya's eyes and asked,"Is it dangerous to build a road?"
"Yes, I heard that there are many wild beasts in the Bloodthirsty Forest. And it was very brutal. Last time, I heard that Uncle Ah Lin's wife was eaten by wild beasts in the forest. How terrifying. Moreover, sometimes when moving the big steps, they would not be able to exert their strength and cause the big steps to slide down. There were also many clansmen who were injured and killed by the big steps.”Speaking of this, one could clearly see the fear in Niya's eyes.
"Then can I not go?"
"How can that be? There's no food if we don't go. If they were discovered and did not run away, they would be killed and cut into pieces if they were caught. They would be boiled into meat soup and eaten. It was so terrifying.”Niya couldn't help but shiver.
"Let's go. Take me to find food. Otherwise, we'll really be hungry.”Li Jiang did not continue asking and began to urge Niya to find food.
After walking out of the cave, Li Jiang used his detection skill to keep an eye on his surroundings. Li Jiang asked again when he saw Niya following him to the south. "Where do you usually go to find food?”
"We're going to the edge of the Bloodthirsty Forest. There are snakes and rats nearby. Snakes are so hateful, they often bite Niya when they are caught. Wild mice can dig holes, so it's not easy to catch them. Sometimes, I guard the wild mice and fight for a long time without seeing them. Niya is so hungry." When it came to where to find food, Niya started talking about her experience of catching snakes and rats.
