☆The journey home

As the morning light came in, Ah Liu’s eyelids moved, and he opened his eyes as if feeling something. Eyes narrowed slightly to adapt to the bright morning light, he looked around the cave, the other three were still sleeping. Wailing faintly from the entrance of the cave, he jumped out of the cave and approached a nearby trap, only to see a snake that was not small in size with a pair of curved horns lying on its head, and its thick body was sandwiched between two pieces. Can’t move among the stones. Seeing Ah Liu approaching, it raised its head vigilantly, showing its fangs. However, before it could make another move, the silver light from the blade flashed under its triangular head, and the snake head flew far away and landed a few meters away.

Ah Liu kicked open the rock, and the snake’s body was slightly deformed under the pressure. He skillfully cut it open, took out the snake gall and discarded the internal organs. He picked a large handful of wild fruits nearby and carried them into the cave together with the prey.

Cedric is in a coma and hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday. Ah Liu went back to the cave and set up the prey on the bonfire, then held up Cedric’s jaw, held the wild fruit with his right hand and squeezed it hard, the flesh shattered immediately, and the viscous juice flowed into the orc’s chapped lips. .

Perhaps smelling the aroma of food, Hal moved his nose slightly and opened his eyes. After a few seconds of confusion, he got up and prepared breakfast with Ah Liu.

“It’s safe here, we can stay for a few days.” While turning over the snake meat on the campfire, Hal said, his eyes quickly passed over the silver-haired orc. The other party was injured too badly, and he couldn’t wake up in a short time, let alone move. He and Ah Liu had injuries of different shades. It is too dangerous to go to the fourth district, which is in the center of the beast tide. If one person is asked to leave first and go back to the tenth district to find someone to help, the time to go back and forth is too long, neither Cedric nor John can wait for too long.

“No, let’s go directly to the tenth district.” Ah Liu turned his head and quietly glanced at the silver-haired orc and said, his voice was calm but firm.

“But…” Hal looked at him in surprise, with a hesitant tone, apparently not expecting non-orcs to make such a decision.

“The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it will be.” Ah Liu said indifferently. He was frowning and skillfully helping Cedric change the medicine. The orc’s serious injuries did not improve, and his high fever did not subside. He was in a coma and couldn’t even swallow most of the food. If things went on like this, his physical condition would only get worse. Although it takes eight days from here to the tenth district, if they are fast enough, four days will be enough; instead of waiting here, it is better to take a gamble.

Hal lowered his head and stared at the constantly leaping flames, pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly as if he had made up his mind. The two finished their breakfast in a hurry. Before they set off, the non-orc man stretched out his hand and carried the orc man on his shoulders without hesitation. Looking at the forest outside the cave and thinking for a moment, he wrapped vines around their waists to prevent them from losing consciousness. Cedric slipped from his shoulders, he held the handle of the knife with his left hand as usual, exchanged a glance with Hal who was already prepared, and strode into the dangerous green.

Tenth District.

“Hey! Cecil! Cecil? Augustine!”

The slightly raised voice of the red-haired orc brought Cecil back to his senses, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face, “I’m sorry, Erlo, I was distracted.”

Noelke didn’t answer, and looked at him thoughtfully for a few minutes with his chin resting on his right hand, and said firmly, “I guess you have something on your mind.” Since Joe Drummond came back, he and Hall Blevins are considered to be Completely unemployed, the red-haired orc was so bored that he had to come to Cecil to chat. As for Hall, he stood by the window without saying a word and stared at the forest in a daze every day. If he hadn’t heard him speak, Noelke even suspected that this silent companion was actually a mute.

“It’s just a little tired.” Cecil said with a faint smile.

“It seems that beautiful natural females are unwilling to share their secrets with me.” Noelke immediately said with a heartbroken expression, “But I understand that every natural female has a garden in her heart, which is mysterious.” He said He changed into a lyric poet’s tone and expression again, which didn’t suit the orc’s temperament at all, and Cecil couldn’t help laughing.

“Okay, I’m a little upset.” Cecil waved his hand and admitted.

“Then I guess… is it about the troubles of being in love?” Noelke guessed after looking at the boy’s expression.

“Probably.” Cecil leaned back and lay on the bed in a big shape, sighing: “And it’s still a crush.”

“A beautiful and noble natural female like you still needs to have a crush on others.” Noelke was a little surprised, at least his expression was so. He looked at Cecil and stroked his chin. “I guess… I haven’t had the honor yet?” he said jokingly.

“Of course not you.” Cecil smiled again and said frankly, “I’m sorry.”

“My first confession was rejected so flatly, so sad.” The red-haired orc shrugged casually, and his tone was not that serious. “Then, at least tell me which warrior defeated me?”

Cecil didn’t answer immediately, his eyes were fixed on the ceiling, on which there were also several oil paintings. The image of the blond orc appeared in his mind, and he sighed softly.

Noelke looked at the ceiling following the boy’s gaze, and smiled knowingly: “If those paintings were given to you by that warrior, then congratulations, your secret love has succeeded, and he must like you.”

“Really?” Cecil’s eyes lit up, and he sat up suddenly. The speed even scared Nork, but then the boy became depressed again: “I thought so at first, he was very good to me. , more tenderly than anyone else…but now he’s leaving me behind.”

“Maybe he didn’t mean it, maybe he also thought he was just in love secretly, maybe… he thought you liked someone else.” Smart as Nork, he already knew who the boy’s sweetheart was, but he didn’t point it out, and still said casually .

Cecil blinked, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Could it be that Angus thought he liked someone else? He thought about the change of the blond-haired orc coming in, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“It’s getting evening so soon.” The red-haired orc muttered, “I’ll report to Longte, and the task will be completed.” He said hello to Cecil, and pulled Blevins out of the room .

“Alas.” Seeing the door close in front of his eyes, Noelke couldn’t help but heaved a long sigh, his tone full of emotion, full of disappointment: “These days, the lovely natural females have masters…”

It was rare to hear the red-haired orc speak in such a serious tone, and Hall couldn’t help turning his head to look at him, with surprise flashing in his eyes. But in the next second, Nork’s eyes lit up, and he stared at the green-haired non-orc who was approaching with a tray, and his usual playboy-like frivolous smile appeared again.

“Well, look carefully, this one is also good.” Nork muttered softly while looking at the green-haired non-orc. The green-haired non-orc shivered under his gaze, and couldn’t help but walk away from him a few steps. Hall couldn’t help but snorted coldly, turned around and strode away alone, as if he couldn’t bear to stand with Nork any longer.

What a difficult companion. The red-haired orc shrugged helplessly, and quickly walked a few steps to keep up with Hall’s footsteps. Hall walked quickly in front, his light blue hair fluttering gently with the movement. The collar is clean and neat, and stands high to cover the neck, revealing only a small part of the skin below the hairline on the nape of the neck. Walking around, the close-fitting clothes showed broad shoulders, extended to the waistline but tightened, unexpectedly showing a bit of sexiness in the feeling of abstinence. Noelke followed him thoughtfully, if… If you look carefully, this guy seems to be pretty good.
