Guo Xiaoxiao's legs went weak. She stood there helplessly, not knowing how to react, only filled with fear.

Carlos picked her up and placed her on the stone bed.

"Carlos?"

"Don't speak."

Carlos coldly ordered her to be silent. He unbuttoned his black robe, removed his clothes, revealing his well-defined abs, and looked at Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Don't be afraid."

Guo Xiaoxiao shook her head. She was scared, she was really scared, and she couldn't control herself at all.

Carlos gently stroked her face.

"I know you're scared, but you'll get used to it after a few days. With me here, they won't dare do anything to you. You're different from those females."

Carlos gently kissed Guo Xiaoxiao's forehead, trying to comfort her, though it was to no avail.

He didn't discriminate against these things; it wasn't his business anyway. He had never been interested in ugly females before and had never touched them.

The orcs in the cave had stolen it from the tribe themselves, intending to use it for their own amusement. Carlos didn't stop them, because he didn't care.

Are you the chieftain of this tribe?

Carlos said, "I guess so. They're afraid of me, they don't dare challenge me."

Even so, Carlos would hibernate in a very far place. Why? Of course, it was to avoid being killed in his sleep.

The orcs in the cave live in a law-based world where the strong prey on the weak. Anyone with a bit of power wants to rule this place, and the best way to do so is to kill the current leader and take his place.

"Am I not allowed to go out?"

Guo Xiaoxiao asked, trying her best to calm herself down. Carlos wasn't going to confine Guo Xiaoxiao for life; he would only grant her a certain degree of freedom if she calmed down and accepted his decision.

Carlos said

"Not at the moment"

Guo Xiaoxiao gave up hope. To escape the cave, she first had to get past those orcs. Her enhanced abilities and the Lion King's Heart weren't enough; with her current frail body, it would be a miracle if she wasn't torn to shreds.

"Carlos, could you give me some water? I'm thirsty."

"good"

Carlos agreed and got her some water. Guo Xiaoxiao took a sip awkwardly, then asked...

"Is there anything to eat?"

She wasn't hungry, she just wanted to change the subject.

"Yes, it will be ready in a bit; they will bring it over."

"oh"

Guo Xiaoxiao sat obediently, unsure of what she could do and too afraid to move. Carlos, seeing that Guo Xiaoxiao was still in a state of panic, did not force her to mate, waiting for her to calm down.

Some of the newly arrived orcs in the cave came over to greet him, bowing respectfully outside the door. Carlos impatiently waved them away.

A short while

The door to the stone chamber was pushed open, and two males carrying raw meat and food in their hands...

"Boss, you're awake."

"Boss, this is your food."

A pile of raw meat was laid out on the stone table, bloody and raw. Guo Xiaoxiao felt a little nauseous. The males here were all stronger than those outside, with dark skin, weathered by time.

Noticing Guo Xiaoxiao's occasional lewd glances, and fearing Carlos's displeasure, he quickly looked away.

He gestured for them to leave, and the orcs obeyed.

Guo Xiaoxiao doesn't eat raw food, so Carlos sent the orcs to bring in cooked meat.

To minimize communication, Guo Xiaoxiao lay on the stone bed, pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, and used her psychic powers to communicate with Mickson.

Guo Xiaoxiao: Mikelson, Mikelson

Mickelson heard him answer immediately: Xiaoxiao

Guo Xiaoxiao: I came from a forest in a desert.

Mikkons: Desert?

Guo Xiaoxiao said: It's called the Forgotten Continent.

Upon hearing those four words, Miksen's face instantly turned deathly pale. It was a desolate continent, teeming with dangerous and brutal orcs—a place no one wanted to set foot in.

Guo Xiaoxiao: Milxton, what's wrong?

Mickelson: Xiaoxiao, are you safe?

Mickelson's anxious tone made Guo Xiaoxiao even more worried.

Guo Xiaoxiao: The snake beast is protecting me; I'm safe for now.

Mikkson: Wait for me, I'll come to save you. Remember, don't leave the snake beast's side.

Judging from Mickelson's tone, it must have been extremely dangerous. Guo Xiaoxiao agreed to his request, saying she would communicate with him every day and stay in touch.

...

Carlos assumed Guo Xiaoxiao was asleep, so he didn't wake her. He placed the food on the stone table and tiptoed out.

Guo Xiaoxiao opened her eyes the instant the door closed, and she looked around at her surroundings.

It was airtight, with only a few small holes allowing a little air to pass through.

"System, Tie Da, help me!"

[System: Host, please calm down. They won't get in. Carlos is very strong.]

Guo Xiaoxiao: What if a few fearless ones charge in? You didn't see how miserable those females were, they were just miserable. No, no, I need something to protect myself.

[System: Okay, here's one, use it carefully.]

Guo Xiaoxiao: ? ? ?

Then, a "self-defense tool" gifted by the system appeared in her hand. Guo Xiaoxiao never expected this; she looked at the item in her hand and felt like crying.

Guo Xiaoxiao: System, are you serious?

[System: Be careful, don't blow yourself up. Aim at a crowded area. I'll show you how to use it.]

Guo Xiaoxiao received the usage instructions from the system, clearly understanding the power of this thing. Holding the gifted tool, she examined it for a moment and responded...

Guo Xiaoxiao: Okay, I'll make do with it.

The system provided an RPG, commonly known as a rocket launcher, which is a portable anti-tank weapon that fires armor-piercing projectiles and is mainly used for close-range attacks on tanks, armored vehicles, and fortifications.

It can be used to attack cities, blow up bunkers, and destroy mountains; its power is immense.

Guo Xiaoxiao was holding something that was still a bit heavy. She tried pointing it at the door, took a look, and decided to try anything. If they dared to make any trouble for her, she would blow them to bits.

Flesh and blood are weak and feeble, while machinery soars to new heights...

When Carlos comes in, he'll definitely ask her where this came from, so she needs to hide it first and can't be discovered. She searched the room for a place to hide things and found a gap at the very back of the stone bed, just the right spot to hide the rocket launcher.

He then sat obediently on the stone bed, pretending to have nothing to do.

Carlos returned, and seeing Guo Xiaoxiao awake, he walked over and asked her affectionately.

"Do you feel unwell or uncomfortable anywhere on your body?"

Guo Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said, "No."

Seeing that she looked unwell, Carlos reached out and touched her cheek, frowning.

"Are you hungry? Have you eaten anything?"

Guo Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed his wrist, disliking and repulsed by his touch. Carlos's hand was held in mid-air by Guo Xiaoxiao, and only then did she realize it was inappropriate and let go.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat meat."

Carlos smiled, unconcerned.

"All the meat on the stone table is yours; eat as much as you want."

She had absolutely no appetite, but to feign compliance, she nodded, sat down at the stone table, and picked up the meat, eating it in small bites.

Carlos ate raw meat outside before returning. He transformed into a snake and devoured the raw meat, not wanting Guo Xiaoxiao to be afraid of him, which was why he ate it outside. He had made up his mind; he had decided that Guo Xiaoxiao would be his future partner, and he would mate with her tonight, regardless of her wishes, to make her belong to him first.
