Chapter 17: Encountering Stray Beasts
Early the next morning, Bai Susu followed the original slave to the tribal square, and saw a large area of black pressure at a glance.
Crowded and bustling.
The industrious orcs had already prepared their supplies.
"Have a safe journey, I'm waiting for you at home, you must come back before the heavy rainy season, in case you encounter any danger, otherwise I will be worried." Bai Susu stood on tiptoe and imprinted a soft kiss on his face, his face dyed with a faint worry.
The original slave's slightly trembling heart was glowing with warmth, and he shallow the curvature of the corners of his lower lips and nodded, "I will." β
To go to the sea to exchange salt, you need to trek nearly 10,000 miles of mountain roads and waterways on the way, and you may encounter dangers such as heavy rain, landslides, floods, and robbery by stray beasts on the way, so every year the tribe sends out fifty or sixty orcs, and two or three orcs cannot come back every year.
Many onlookers saw the harmonious atmosphere between the two, and their faces showed surprise, after all, the original slave was the lowest slave in their eyes, and in the past, Hu Susu didn't like him, and the tribe knew it.
"Susu, are you going to take the former slave as a partner?" Lisa walked up from behind her, her eyes wide, and she looked left and right at the two of them.
"The original slave was originally the companion that the beast father and the beast mother bought for me."
Bai Susu's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears very clearly, causing a small discussion.
The young man's thin palm was held by another soft little hand, "What do you say, original slave? β
The original slave's stunned gaze fell on Bai Susu's smiling face, as if the desert traveler had filled his dry throat with nectar, as if the stranded fish had been sent back into the water with the palm of his hand...... He felt a sense of satisfaction that was the first time he had heard it from her in more than a decade of serving herβshe had admitted that she was her partner.
"Host, add a point of favorability!"
"By the way, you have this." Bai Susu took out another packet of medicinal powder and handed it to him, "This is the medicinal powder I applied to you when you were usually injured, and the effect was not bad." Knowing that you are leaving soon, I only rushed to make these, and I must use them when I get injured on the road, and don't save them. β
The original slave clenched his palms and pressed them against his chest, and he felt his heart and fingertips exuding burning, "...... I will come back safely, and the female master does not need to worry about me. β
"One more point!"
"What about me, little female?" Dorai didn't know where to come from, a pair of turquoise eyes looked at the scumbag little female who snatched his first kiss, and said with grievances, "I'm also going to the Sea Clan to exchange salt, and I'm going to be lucky all the way, don't you have anything to say to me?" β
"Oh, live well, don't die halfway through." Bai Susu's delicate little face had a smile.
The smile on Dolai's face suddenly froze, and he was even more depressed, he couldn't understand why he hadn't seen his little female who had been hugging him passionately yesterday and even taking the initiative to kiss him, and she seemed to have lost all interest in herself, and she was so indifferent, as if she were a stranger.
Did he do something wrong?
But he didn't do anything.
Dorai couldn't breathe this breath, the feeling of not being able to go up or down in one breath was really uncomfortable, he felt like a poor beast abandoned by a female after being molested, and a bit like a love beast that couldn't see the light...... Thinking like this, there was a slight smile in the man's turquoise eyes, and he wanted to reach out and hold her to ask a good question.
The original slave stood in front of Bai Susu, protecting her behind her, and his tone was not good, "Just speak, what do you do?" β
The bright smile in Dolai's eyes disappeared completely, and his face became a little unfathomable. He stared coldly, crossed his arms and looked at the little female who was out of the way, and he couldn't guess what she wanted to do.
He had expected her to say at least a couple of words to him.
Unexpectedly, when the team traveled, she didn't even look at him more.
With a storm in his eyes, he suddenly became even more depressed, turned into a leopard beast, and followed the team.
"Master, it's really okay to do this, right?" The system is very worried, "Although the identity of the leopard beast Dorai is not sure for the time being, but if you can get points, it must be one of the hidden male protagonists and villains, if you provoke him so much, maybe he will be annoyed and disgusted with you......"
"You can't be overfed, I've only known him for a few days, and if you show too much enthusiasm for him, he will lose interest in me. Simply liking the shelf life is too short, and what you can never get is the best. Bai Susu left the square and came to the river, rolled up his sleeves, and lifted the fish basket to the shore, "Strange, why are there two fish missing." β
She frowned, as if it was incomprehensible, such an expression of emotion that a normal person should have was caught in her eyes by another pair of scarlet inquiring eyes.
"Forget it, I don't want to think so much, I should have been bitten by some sharp-tongued fish." She carried the basket and turned to leave.
The weather is cloudy, and it seems that it is going to rain again, and the dirt roads between the mountains and forests are full of potholes, and there is a risk of slipping if you are not careful.
The trail is downhill and the soil is very soft, and small areas of the mountain collapse can occur from time to time.
Bai Susu moved cautiously, walking very slowly, and heard the rustling of the bushes next to him.
This forest is not a safe area for the tribe to defend, and there is a high probability that there will be wild animals foraging around.
The little female suddenly tightened her heart, her little face turned pale, and she immediately turned her head vigilantly to look at the bushes over there, but there was no movement, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was far away, several figures appeared in the bushes, stray beasts that often wandered in this area.
"Boss, look, it's that little female again, who dares to go out of the tribe by herself." A black bear with a deep scar carved on the left half of his face spoke, "Sure enough, you guessed correctly, this female often comes here at this point in time, and it is really the right choice for us to come here and squat today." β
"She's really pretty, she's the whitest and best female I've ever seen, and she's young, so she's definitely good to play with."
The brown lion at the head flashed his eyes, licked his mouth, and stood up, "She doesn't have a mate mark on her, she should still be a chick." β
The remaining orcs immediately boiled, and their eyes showed even more greedy and surprised looks.
Females are scarce in the beast world, so most female orcs have several mates, and many strong male orcs fight for the favor of females, and females may not be able to look at them. Not to mention the few stray beasts they were expelled.
And most females already have several prospective partners when they are not adults, so females who have not yet entered into a partnership contract after adulthood can be described as precious, but I didn't expect them to meet one today.
The female who was sent to the door for nothing is bound to get it.
Several people exchanged glances, did not enter the jungle, and secretly followed.
But they didn't notice that another figure was following behind them.
