Chapter 503
【 SHALU’S CHOICE 】
Iron-rank and Silver-rank players who have capped their respective levels were having the time of their lives in the Desert of Death.
On the other hand, the orcs who had been regarded as wild mobs and the most lucrative ‘leeks’ by them were in a miserable situation.
This was especially true for the orc tribes in the northeastern region of the desert, near the Dark Mountain Range.
As the elves’ increasingly outrageous actions such as desecrating holy statues, enslaving orcs, and even allegedly devouring their corpses spread throughout the desert, the orcs became so fearful that they became utterly terrified.
Of course, the last claim about eating corpses was nothing more than a baseless rumor. No matter how extreme the players’ tastes, they weren’t that depraved—at least, not in that particular way.
The rumor likely stemmed from the eerie way slain orcs’ bodies mysteriously disintegrated into ashes, vanishing without a trace. Combined with the fact that players often gathered around open flames to roast meat, the imagination of those Orcs probably ran wild, twisting harmless campfire cooking into grotesque tales of cannibalistic feasts.
That being said, for the vast population of orcs, the two thousand or so evil elves stirring up trouble in the Desert were hardly enough to pose a serious threat to their race.
