The mountain range above was devoid of tall trees, only low-lying bushes.
It was precisely because of the absence of tall trees that the small village nestled at the foot of the mountains had built its houses from stones.
Today, a mechanical vehicle arrived near this village of stone houses.
On board the vehicle were Su Han and his companions.
The vehicle stopped a few hundred meters away from the village.
Then, a small drone took off and circled above the village.
It clearly surveyed how many stone houses were in the village.
Su Han and the other five watched the situation in the stone village. On the screen, they saw the villagers emerging from their stone houses, curiously looking up at the drone in the sky and pointing. Then, the villagers slowly walked towards the village entrance to look at the mechanical vehicle.
"This magical creature!"
"It should be called an intelligent being from a magical world."
"Are these… Orcs?"
Su Han and the others watched the screen with great curiosity.
Because on the screen, a humanoid creature with a green head was displayed.
This humanoid creature was the Orc that appeared in many novels.
Everyone present believed they were Orcs, but Su Han always felt something was off about them.
Chu Shi looked at these Orcs and said, "Ye Fan, go and see if you can communicate with them. More importantly, see how much of a threat they pose. Zi Han, Zhou Xiaoyue, prepare your sniper rifles. If these Orcs threaten Ye Fan, eliminate them directly! Xiao Yan, be vigilant of our surroundings and guard against any surprise attacks."
So, Ye Fan, carrying his machine gun, walked towards the village.
As he approached, Ye Fan remained wary of the Orcs, who also looked at him with curiosity.
When Ye Fan was almost close enough, the tallest Orc among them shouted.
"￥…"
After shouting, as if giving an order, all the Orcs charged towards Ye Fan. The Orcs wielded sticks and clubs in their hands, and some of them drooled.
Ye Fan couldn't understand their language at all, but he knew from the situation that the Orc's shout was an attack order.
Just as Ye Fan was about to turn and retreat.
Chu Shi's voice came through his wireless communicator.
Chu Shi used the wireless communication device to say to Ye Fan, "Stop. Shout out, try to see if the Orcs can understand our Dragon Country language. See if you can make them stop."
Ye Fan stopped and shouted loudly, "Hello. Can you understand me? I mean no harm! Please stop!"
The Orcs paid no attention to Ye Fan's shouts and continued to charge forward.
And as they ran, the Orcs let out sounds that Ye Fan couldn't understand.
"*…………%"
Chu Shi said, "Run, Ye Fan!"
Upon receiving the order, Ye Fan immediately turned and fled.
Chu Shi said, "If these Orcs keep chasing Ye Fan, then open fire!"
Zhou Xiaoyue and Zi Han gripped their sniper rifles tightly.
At this moment, Su Han, watching the situation from afar with binoculars, felt something strange. Through the binoculars, Su Han could clearly see the Orcs drooling, as if they had spotted food. Furthermore, these creatures were over three meters tall.
Seeing this, Su Han finally remembered. Su Han quickly shouted, "Those are not Orcs, they are Ogres! Open fire!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
…
Upon hearing Su Han's words, Zhou Xiaoyue and Zi Han immediately began to shoot.
The Ogres chasing Ye Fan fell one by one.
Seeing the gunfire, Ye Fan also fired his machine gun backwards as he ran.
A few minutes later. All the Ogres chasing Ye Fan were eliminated.
Then, the six of them drove their vehicle into the stone village.
Upon entering, they discovered that the original inhabitants of the village had already been hunted and killed by the Ogres. This was evident because the height of the houses in the village was clearly unsuitable for the Ogres. The drone footage had shown the Ogres climbing out.
Chu Shi said with regret, "The villagers were all eaten by the Ogres. Nothing was left. We will have to go to the next village to find out what the intelligent beings of this world look like."
At this moment, Su Han and the others looked at the stone-built houses. They observed that the houses were only two meters high and were constructed in a very haphazard manner, as if they were simply piled up randomly with stones.
Ye Fan remarked, "Aren't these houses too chaotic? If there were any tremors, wouldn't these stones just fall down!"
Su Han looked at the surrounding stone houses, each only two meters high. Human houses are typically about three meters high. Calculating based on this, the creatures living in these houses should be about 1.2 meters tall. After all, two-thirds of 1.8 meters is 1.2 meters.
In a magical world, Su Han thought of creatures like Goblins and Gnomes, who are about 1.2 meters tall.
Su Han said, "Based on this height, the creatures living in these houses should be Goblins, Gnomes, and the like."
Chu Shi became interested and asked, "Goblins? Gnomes? I wonder what these creatures look like. The next village is still fifty kilometers away. If we go now, there won't be enough time. Su Han, Deputy Minister, it's time to return and resupply."
Su Han asked, "Not enough time? Fifty kilometers, won't that be less than an hour?"
"The rest of the journey requires crossing this mountain range. Although this vehicle can make it, it will take more than an hour. Going back and forth would be a waste of time!"
Su Han looked at the mountain behind them. He saw the road winding upwards.
"This world also has mountain roads."
Chu Shi said, "This mountain isn't too high, so the off-road vehicle can still traverse it. The Globalized Type 2 drone footage showed a forest on the other side of this mountain."
"Then let's go back!" Su Han naturally followed Chu Shi's suggestion.
So, the six of them returned to the off-road vehicle and headed back.
As they were returning, the white horse saw the off-road vehicle and continued to follow them for a while.
The white horse could outrun the off-road vehicle over short distances, but it couldn't keep up over longer stretches.
When the six of them returned to the teleportation gate, it was already dusk.
The six of them passed through the teleportation gate and returned to the Dinosaur World.
The other five went to rest. Chu Shi, however, immediately began to plan what equipment and weapons would be needed for tomorrow's mission…
