Chapter 55: The Birth of a Slave Master
It was a black-haired hand, small compared to an ordinary person, but it suddenly stretched out in the bushes, and it scared me out of six of my seven souls.
I sat on the ground, but I still held the plastic wrapped in grass roots and grass seeds, oh my god, I didn't even have the courage to look back and see what it was, the wind was moving through the bushes of the bald mountains, and even, at first, I didn't know where I was running.
There was a rustling sound behind me, and the thing seemed to be close behind, mixed with a lot of noise, and I bet my blood pressure must be surprisingly high now, and I can't even hear other sounds in my ears, but I only know one thing, run, run out of this bush, run out of this bald mountain, run back to Huya and Dandan, I know that even if Huya is unconscious, he will definitely protect me to the death.
Thankfully, as I wished, I didn't get lost, and for now, it was more important than anything else, and I ran for a full ten minutes, but the rustling behind me didn't stop there, but got closer and closer.
As soon as I stepped out of the black swamp with one foot, I knew I was supposed to be saved, for I saw that Dandan was already running towards me with his spear, and his target was clearly in the direction behind me.
With him by his side, I feel at least a lot of relief, and because of this, I dare to look back, and it is this glance that seems to be destined for many changes in the days to come.
Things are often ridiculous to the point of hilariousness, I thought it would be some kind of monster, at least a chimpanzee covered in black hair, sharp beak and fangs, who would have thought that it was a person, and it was a child who looked only about ten years old, covered in black, I was actually chased by such a fart kid for a full two kilometers of mountain roads, don't forget, I was bare-assed, and my whole body was not covered at all, but when I fell at that time, my life could be broken on the ground! Now he is lying on the edge of the hot spring, out of breath.
It wasn't until the kid was grabbed by the neck and slipped in front of me that I saw that he was also holding a handful of grass roots in his hand, as if he was picking them in the field like me, although I don't know why he did it, but looking at his face, there was no malice.
This baby is very short, only to the position of the crotch of the ball, the eyes are not big, but the forehead is very high, the lips are so thin that it is like two tender leaves on the side of the chin, and the hair on the body is thick, looking like a wild man, but if you look closely, in fact, most of it is not hair, but like it is covered with mud.
I took the grass roots from his hand and motioned for Dan Dan to ask where the child came from, while I squatted on the edge of another hot spring to clean them, boiled them in the hot spring water, and then chewed them and stuffed them into Huya's mouth one by one.
Seeing the conversation between Dandan and the child, I basically had a rough idea in my heart, this child should be a member of the demon girl's tribe, because they speak the same language as Dandan, but I don't know, why did he follow here, could it be that the demon girl's conscience found out and invited us back to eat meat?
It turns out that I guessed a little bit right, this baby is indeed a member of the demon girl's clan, and he is indeed sent by the demon girl, but he is not here to invite us, but to follow and monitor.
Dandan's relays to me due to the language barrier I can only understand a rough idea, this child and two other clansmen set out to follow us a few days ago, but unexpectedly lost that night, I and Dandan looked at each other, yes, they must have lost, that night we slept with the black dragon, almost even we were lost in the black dragon forest.
Then they walked in the direction of the bald mountains, hoping to find our footprints, and in fact they did, but the swamp along the way devoured his two companions, both of whom were adults, and fell inch by inch into the swamp until they were swallowed by the cannibal swamp.
It was a miracle that he was trapped and crawled out on his own, but that's what he did.
So, he was dark, and in fact, the color of his body was mainly because it was stained with the mud of the swamp.
However, I had seen the demon girl's people in the night fight that night, although there were twenty or thirty people, but I had never seen such a child, because his characteristics were too obvious, if there was such a child fighting in that group, I would have found out, but I really did not see it.
Dan Dan asked a few more words, and then told me that the demon girl was constantly transporting her own people to this island, and he was the second batch to be transported, and there were many more one after another, because the products of this island were far richer than theirs, and most importantly, they had killed the aliens, and they had to leave their original station to avoid trouble.
It took me a lot of effort to figure out what the "alien" he was talking about, it should be the "beast-headed man", I thought he was the leader of the demon girl's tribe, but later through this child, I learned that the beast-headed people are not only not the leader, but also the puppet accomplices sent by the aliens to control them by their side, no wonder the demon girl raised her arms that night, and her people all responded and tore the orc to pieces, and finally did not forget to eat its flesh and drink its blood, The intestines had to be pulled out and roasted on the fire overnight before they stopped.
But I still couldn't understand who this alien was, and although Dandan tried many ways to answer me, he still couldn't explain it to me, and eventually, with a gasp from the tiger, we ended the exchange.
After this period of tossing, the time was almost noon, so I fed Huya some grass seeds, looked at the sky, and calculated the time.
When I carried the tiger girl back to the bald slope, I was also catching up with the flooding of the fake lake, looking at the water at the bottom of the mountain, I thought, it is not easy for the child next to me to come here, and it is precisely because of this idea that in my heart, I dare not let him walk back alone, after all, he looks like a ten-year-old child, just like the old Tan family's nephew, how can I bear to push him to death?
But Dandan didn't have this kindness, don't look at him to me and the tiger girl respectful and simple, but to this child, he didn't have the slightest kindness, both hands pushed his back from time to time, and occasionally kicked with his foot, the language was full of driving tone, it seems that Dandan did not welcome him, and did not welcome this little monster with a strange complexion and black hair.
And I know that it's just hirsutism, or that the fetus is luxuriant, and it can't be kept, and when it grows up, it will be a handsome offspring.
He was punched and kicked by Dandan, but he was very resolute and refused to take half a step back, and even finally knelt on the ground and begged DanDan and me to let him stay, Dandan's asked him why, and the child only said that Shanna would save people and drive away the "demons" and "plague gods".
I know the fear of this disease among the natives, but I am completely convinced that this little cub can't do it, after all, he comes from the tribe of demon girls, from an enemy tribe that is only hostile to us and does not know the word "good" at all.
But in the end, he stayed, because he swore to Dandan, he was willing to be Dandan's personal slave and never betray, as long as we didn't drive him back, didn't drive him back to the cannibalistic tribe, because, there, he might not even be as good as a slave, and I learned afterwards that I was right, and it was.
In this way, Dandan became the first of the three of us to own a slave, and the first slave owner to have privileges and enjoyment!
