Chapter 437 Orc Market Survival Guide (8)

Du Chong agreed.

Xia Yueke led the little animal back to the fountain.

When they reached the fountain, Xia Yueke slowly raised her head and looked at the spout. She paused, her pupils constricted, and saw red splashes of water!

Sure enough, after having this little beast, her luck became worse. She was fine before, but now she is not.

Xia Yueke immediately lowered his head and threw the little animal in his hand to Du Chong.

"Drown it! Remember, it's useless if you don't drown it, because I've already given it to you. If it doesn't die now, it will haunt you later! I have to leave the market anyway!"

Du Chong was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that this little animal could be given away. But looking at the leash in his hand, he could only walk to the side of the pool helplessly and start drowning the little animal.

That’s right, the moment Xia Yueke took the rope, a rule appeared in her mind.

[Rules for holding small beasts]

1. Once you purchase a beast, you must hold it for ten minutes. During this time, the beast will intermittently attempt to escape. When it fails, it will emit a sharp cry to attract the attention of nearby evil spirits. The number of evil spirits attracted each time increases with the time you hold it. You must remain vigilant to prevent evil spirits from getting close.

[2. After ten minutes, you can give the beast away, but the recipient must voluntarily agree. If you force the gift, the beast will instantly break free and lead a group of its own kind, controlled by the evil spell, in a frenzied attack against you. This attack will last for half an hour, during which time you will be unable to leave the market.]

[3. If you successfully give the beast away, you cannot approach the five-meter radius around the recipient for half an hour. Otherwise, the beast will recognize you as its master again and return to you. Its magical abilities will be enhanced, and subsequent gifts will become twice as difficult.]

At this time, Xia Yueke was already five meters away from Du Chong.

She knew that although this was not a good thing to do, since the little beast was about to drown, it should be okay. She was also afraid that Du Chong would not do as she was told, and the little beast would come back and hurt her again.

Before Xia Yueke could feel ashamed, she found that the scene around her had changed completely. The sky was blood-red, ferocious orcs, and monsters with long tongues were coming to catch her.

Xia Yueke ran as fast as she could. She finally understood why Bai Jinglan ran away without caring about anything.

In this situation, it would be strange if I didn't run.

Xia Yueke encountered several people who tried to stop her along the way. One old orc deliberately fell down in front of her and asked her to help him up. Another was a male orc with a big belly calling out from behind: "Female, run slower. The cub in your belly cannot be without its mother~"

Xia Yueke ran away in terror. This was too horrifying. This male beastman was actually pregnant with a cub, and he even said it was hers! How could this be possible? She was very chaste and knew it was all an illusion!

Xia Yueke finally ran to the exit of the market.

After leaving the market, Xia Yueke felt like she was alive again, and the air was much fresher.

The sky also returned to its previous color, no longer blood red.

Xia Yueke breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. She ran from the fountain to the market exit, which was about three miles, or 1,500 meters!

Just as she was gasping for breath, a familiar bass voice came.

"Hey, why is my little brother out too? What rule did he break?"

Bai Jinglan's slightly sarcastic voice came over.

Xia Yuke looked up and saw Bai Jinglan sitting with his legs crossed, holding a piece of grass from nowhere in his mouth, looking very nonchalant.

"Huh...Brother Bai, you scared me to death. Why are you still here?"

Bai Jinglan asked back, "I asked you the question first. Why don't you answer your boss's question instead of complaining here? Do you think you can know the boss's whereabouts?"

Xia Yueke really wanted to laugh. Bai Jinglan was obviously unwilling to tell the reason for his previous embarrassing escape just to save face, and now he was trying to change the subject. Forget it, after all, he was the boss of his game, so he should just give him some face.

"Brother Bai, you have no idea how miserable I am. After we separated, I was haunted by that little beast with glowing eyes. The vendor even insisted that I buy something. I didn't want to buy it, but Du Chong had already pissed me off. If I didn't buy it, I would have been torn to pieces by those little beasts right there and then!"

"Wait, who is Du Chong?"

Bai Jinglan raised his eyebrows. Could it be that during the time he was away, his younger brother had found a new teammate?

"He's the one with the blue ticket. After you left, he wanted to team up with me, and I agreed. Then I bought the little beast and planned to drown it. As it turned out, the bad luck was as good as its reputation. It was fine before, but now every time I see the fountain, it's red, and then I get out."

Bai Jinglan nodded, his tone a little bad, "Where's your ticket? Let me see it."

Xia Yuke was puzzled as to why Bai Jinglan suddenly wanted to see her admission ticket, but she still obediently looked for it on her body.

As a result, she searched everywhere but couldn't find her red ticket. She had clearly put it in her pocket, but now she couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked.

Xia Yueke's face immediately turned pale. "How could it disappear? Strange..."

Bai Jinglan sighed, "I'm sorry you're so kind, your ticket must have been taken away by Du Chong."

Xia Yueke screamed, "But why? He wants to take mine?"

Bai Jinglan rolled his eyes elegantly, "Why? He doesn't have a ticket, and it's dangerous without one, so of course he wants to steal one."

Xia Yueke was petrified. So, was she tricked by Du Chong? Then the difficult problem she left him with was nothing! She was at a loss!

Xia Yueke just didn't know what to do. She looked at Bai Jinglan helplessly, "What should I do, Brother Bai? I'm your only little brother. You can't abandon me."

Xia Yueke immediately hugged Bai Jinglan's calf and refused to let go.

Bai Jinglan was speechless. He pushed the person away, flipped through the papers casually, and actually took out two admission tickets.

And they are all red!

Xia Yueke opened her eyes wide and stammered, "This...this, this, why do you still have one?"

Bai Jinglan curled his lips and smiled, "Remember that guy in the alley? Since he was going to die anyway, I just took his ticket and put it on myself. I originally planned to keep it for myself as a backup, but I didn't expect to use it on you."

Xia Yueke took the admission ticket, her hands trembling uncontrollably, and her eyes instantly blurred with tears.

Her lips trembled slightly and she wanted to say something, but because she was too excited, her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't make a complete sound.

Recalling that she was in a desperate situation just now, full of despair and thought she was completely finished, but now there was a sudden turn of events, Bai Jinglan actually took out a life-saving ticket. This huge contrast made her unable to bear it for a while.

Her breathing was rapid and heavy, her chest heaving violently, and the words "I'm saved, I'm saved" kept echoing in her mind.

She grabbed Bai Jinglan's arm, her fingertips turning white from the force, as if she was grabbing the last straw, afraid that the ticket would disappear if she let go.

"Brother Bai, thank you so much! You are my great benefactor, my dear brother!"
