Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 293 Sword Roar in the West Wind
Lu Mingfei was following the spirit wolf stealthily through the darkness when a chaotic howl suddenly came from ahead.

The wolves' mournful howls were mixed with hoarse and ferocious roars, the sound of weapons being swung, and the rustling of sharp teeth tearing through flesh.

The sounds became a chaotic jumble, echoing and amplifying within the narrow cave, making them exceptionally jarring.

The battle has clearly reached a fever pitch.

His heart tightened, and he immediately quickened his pace and rushed over. He could sense that the three spirit wolves were fighting fiercely, and one of them was clearly weakening.

He deftly parted a dense thicket of bushes almost as tall as a person, and the sight before him made his pupils shrink slightly.

Deep within the cave, in a relatively open area, three spirit wolves were fiercely battling two strange monsters.

With the faint glow of the moss on the rock face, he could clearly see the appearance of the two monsters.

They had wolf-like, ferocious heads, with exposed canine teeth gleaming coldly in the dim light, while their bodies stood upright like humans, covered with simple yet practical leather armor and metal plates.

One hand holds a rusty, menacing broadsword, while the other wields a strangely shaped throwing weapon with chains.

"The orcs of Famyazra..."

As Lu Mingfei murmured the name, his memory was instantly pulled back to when he first arrived at the border.

That was his first real elite battle, and it left an extremely deep impression on him.

The current battle situation is not optimistic.

The orc wielding the knife swung with tremendous force, forcing the spirit wolves to rely on their agility to constantly dodge and maneuver; while the orc wielding the chain weapon circled around the perimeter, occasionally unleashing deadly throwing attacks to distract the spirit wolves.

The two orcs cooperated very well, clearly not the first time they had fought side by side.

Without further hesitation, Lu Mingfei unleashed a burst of air beneath his feet, his figure shooting out like an arrow released from a bow.

A gray-white storm force swirled around him, leaving a striking trail in the dim cave.

He delivered a clean and decisive "Stormfoot" strike, slamming it hard into the open space between the two orcs.

"boom!"

The heavy force, accompanied by the shockwave of the storm, erupted instantly, disrupting the balance and rhythm of the two orcs and forcing them to retreat several steps.

The rising dust and broken moss filled the air, temporarily obscuring the view.

At the same time, Lu Mingfei deliberately activated the Dragon Feast Power within his body.

In an instant, the golden light in his eyes suddenly intensified, and an ancient and majestic dragon's might spread outwards like an invisible wave.

This is the aura of an ancient dragon, a powerful aura that surpasses all living beings.

Another orc, who was about to swing his strange throwing weapon, suddenly froze.

The fierce light on its ferocious wolf face faltered for a moment, and a fear originating from the depths of its blood and soul emanated from it.

The orc stared intently at Lu Mingfei, a deep sense of confusion appearing on his face.

Then, a few broken and strange syllables rolled out of its throat, in an ancient and obscure language that was completely beyond Lu Mingfei's comprehension.

However, the other orc wielding a knife was clearly more ferocious, or rather, more resistant to the dragon's might.

Forced back by the impact of the storm's foot, it shook its head and roared furiously again, brandishing its greatsword and engaging the three spirit wolves in fierce combat. The blade flashed sharply and moved with immense force, forcing the spirit wolves to rely on their agility to constantly maneuver around it, making it difficult for them to get close.

Lu Mingfei immediately realized that the two orcs in front of him were far stronger than the one he had encountered in the Near Forest Cave.

Not only are they strong and fast, but their combat skills are also more refined. What's even more terrifying is that they have a clear sense of teamwork!
Seeing its companion standing motionless, the orc with the knife parried the wolf's attack while letting out a rapid and angry howl, seemingly urging it to join the fight and deal with the troublesome human before it.

But the orc, intimidated by the dragon's might, ignored his companion's calls.

It kept its eyes fixed on Lu Mingfei, its confusion deepening, and those few broken syllables rolled out of its throat again, its voice trembling with an almost pious intensity.

The orcs' language was ancient and obscure, yet the message it conveyed seemed clearer.

It was as if some rule, transcending words and reaching directly into consciousness, vaguely conveyed the core idea the other person was trying to express.
"Dragon... Sky City... Homecoming... We... Beastmen..."

These fragmented thoughts, like a mirror shattered into hundreds or thousands of pieces, cannot restore the original appearance, but accidentally reflect something else.

Lu Mingfei could sense the complex emotions contained within these fragmented pieces of information.

Awe and confusion.

Lu Mingfei was deeply shocked.

What the hell is this?
Bloodline knot?
What is this guy saying now?
Castle in the Sky? Dragon? Homecoming?
Could it be referring to the title preceding their names, "Famyazra?"

What does "dragon" mean?
Ancient dragon, or flying dragon?
No, it can't be a flying dragon.

As if guided by some kind of intuition, Lu Mingfei subconsciously felt that these orcs were not related to dragons.

After all, dragons are more like some kind of powerful beast.

Could it be that this guy sensed the dragon blood within him, and the extremely similar aura confused him, making the orc think he was an ancient dragon?
But... did Gu Long also have human form?
Countless questions churned in Lu Mingfei's mind as he tried to piece together the truth from these fragmented pieces of information.

Could it be that orcs are not simply wild beasts and monsters, but an intelligent race with some kind of connection to ancient dragons?
This discovery left him momentarily stunned.

In that instant, the orc with the knife seized the opportunity.

With a sudden, powerful sweep, it forced back the entangled wolves, its eyes flashing with ferocity. It completely abandoned the wolf pack and charged forward at breakneck speed.

Its heavy footsteps shook the ground, and its large sword, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, slashed down at Lu Mingfei's head!
The orcs were determined to kill this distracting human.

The orc that sent the thought, upon seeing the increasingly prominent dragon-like features on Lu Mingfei's body due to the circulation of power, seemed to have finally confirmed something. It let out a long howl mixed with excitement and sorrow, and instead of attacking, it retreated towards the cave entrance, its figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.

"Want to run?"

Lu Mingfei's eyes sharpened. Facing the massive blade slashing down at him, he advanced instead of retreating. The sense of stability brought by his newly acquired [Great Goat Amulet] greatly boosted his confidence.

He sidestepped the blade with precision, and at the same time, his greatsword swung upwards with a swift motion, slashing fiercely at the exposed chest and abdomen of the orc wielding the sword!
"Pfft!"

The blade pierced flesh, and blood spurted out.

The orc wielding the knife let out a painful and furious roar, but its ferocity only increased, and its attacks became even more frenzied, a fight to the death.

Clearly, the departure of its companions did not frighten it; on the contrary, it completely unleashed its wildness.
