Chapter 321 They Are Coming for Her
Warm wind mixed with a chilly breath blew towards her. Ye Luoxing looked at the wide road ahead, which was like the wide-open mouth of a ferocious beast, faintly revealing danger. She stepped into it with a solemn expression and her figure slowly sank in.
It was bright inside the cave. Tabor and Sova followed her on the left and right. After walking for a while, Ye Luoxing saw the open view in front of her. At the same time, the familiar smell of blood rushed into her nostrils again. This was not the first time since she entered the inner city.
"Ah..." The male beastman's scream had not yet completely stopped when it abruptly stopped as his neck was cut by a high-level beast.
Ye Luoxing frowned and stepped into the cave of three to four hundred square meters. There was a long road in the middle of the cave that led to the end. The two sides were divided by roads, each with two large and spacious spaces. At the innermost end on the left was a stone bed, which was slightly higher, like a separate rest area. In the middle area were several sets of stone tables and chairs, and all objects were covered with animal skins.
Although there is no stone bed in the right area, there are several long benches, similar to ancient couches, covered with thick animal fur, which can be used for short rest. There are also several sets of stone tables and chairs in the middle area.
There were special air ducts on the walls on all four sides of the cave. A big bonfire was burning on the left and right areas near the central road. Ye Luoxing walked straight past the bonfire. In the first third of the road, a headless male orc was kneeling. His kneeling body slowly fell to the side, and the male orc in front of him was retracting his bloody claws.
There were five stone chairs on both sides of the road ahead. Three high-level beasts were sitting on the three stone chairs on the right. Behind the ten stone chairs, there was a thick long stone, similar to the ancient torture rack. At this moment, seven of the long stones were tied with bloody and embarrassed male orcs.
"What are you doing?" Ye Luoxing looked at both sides and asked in a deep voice.
"They are all captured suspicious orcs. If we can't get anything useful out of them, just kill them." Tabor's voice was calm.
Ye Luoxing withdrew her gaze, and as she and Tabor approached the two beasts, the orcs in front all looked at her.
In fact, Ye Luoxing recognized the high-level beast that killed the orc. It was the male beast that had lost to her in the Overlord Tournament before - Black, the guardian of a certain level in the Overlord Tournament. At this moment, he obviously recognized her, his eyes changed, and he slowly stepped aside to make way for her.
As he made way, Ye Luoxing's sight finally fell on the end of the road, on the platform led by three steps. There was a soft couch-like bench there, and on the thick fox fur, sat a male orc who was about 1.9 meters tall.
As soon as Ye Luoxing looked over, he met those golden eyes. For a split second, Ye Luoxing was visibly shocked.
In her mind, Yue Shang also made a surprised sound...
The male beast on the bench in the center has a strong face and features that tend to be Western. He has sharp eyebrows, a pair of narrow and cold eyes, and a nose that casts a mountain-like reflection on his face. His rosy and generous lips are slightly pursed, and his skin tone is even and moderate. There is not much expression on his face, but it reveals a bit of coldness. He is wearing a white rabbit fur cloak.
His long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, with several strands drooping in front of his chest, not able to hide his bulging pectoral and abdominal muscles at all. His physique was also strong among the orcs. He was in a casual posture with one arm resting on the handle of the bench. He was undoubtedly a beautiful person in power with a powerful aura, and that sharpness could not be ignored!
The strange thing is that there is a hint of softness in his toughness, as if it is a feeling brought by his facial features and cannot be completely concealed. What is even stranger and shocking to Ye Luoxing and Yue Shang is that this orc looks a bit like Krollin!
No, that's not right. Not just a little bit like him, even if you ignore the white hair that is common in the North, but his eye shape, nose bridge, lips, face shape, etc... are all similar! Not the kind of similarity that twins have, but still clearly recognizable, but Krollin's facial features are evil, and he is even colder!
Tabor stepped forward, kicked the corpse away, and nodded to Cochas, who was in the lead, and said, "I brought the female!"
Ye Luoxing stopped, and Sova behind her also saluted the leading orc with awe.
At this time, Kochas, who was in the lead, stared at Ye Luoxing, because he caught the surprise in her eyes.
Kochas's golden eyes scanned her up and down, seeing that she was wrapped very tightly, and said nothing.
He glanced at Tabor: "Thank you for your hard work!"
After he finished speaking, Tabor and Sova looked up. Seeing this, Ye Luoxing wanted to speak first, but at this moment, a high-level beast sitting on the stone chair on the right stood up, turned around and walked towards an orc tied to the stone pillar behind him. He cut the tendons on the orc's body and dragged him to the center of the venue.
He rushed forward recklessly, and Ye Luoxing couldn't help but take a step back, and Tabor also turned sideways to look.
Above, the tall male beast standing next to Kochas said emotionlessly, "Please wait a moment. We need to deal with these orcs first."
The male beast Biller threw the bloody orc to the ground roughly, and he transformed his claws and approached him.
"Don't kill me..." The dying orc seemed to wake up after being thrown like this, and uttered these words with trembling lips. He tried to shrink back and whispered weakly in defense, "I just entered the orc city by mistake..."
Ye Luoxing frowned even more tightly. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and always felt that this scene was unusual.
She whispered, "Did they do anything suspicious?"
Sova looked at her, and Biller in front of him paused. At this time, the leader Feixu, who was sitting on the stone chair in front of Ye Luoxing's right hand side, said calmly: "Not really, it's just that they don't have identity totems, and they can't explain their origins. At this critical moment, we naturally can't leave them alive."
As soon as Feixu finished speaking, the male beast on the ground heard the female's voice, looked back, and immediately explained weakly to the beastmen in the cave: "No, no... most of the beastmen in our tribe were killed by the Yan beast. I... I just don't have a tribe now, but I said... my origin..."
His voice became weaker and weaker. As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Biller.
Biller cursed coldly: "Ha! There is no tribe now? Then who can verify your identity? And you mistakenly entered the Beast City, it's just a quibble. You have no idea where you came from, and you dare to stay in the Beast City, you are courting death!"
Biller stabbed his thigh with a claw, and immediately the whole cave was filled with the screams of the male beast.
Ye Luoxing felt cold in her heart. As early as when Feixu said those words, she knew why she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and also knew why she felt strange. Orcs without identity totems... They repeated this twice. Was this scene really just for these orcs? Or...
Ye Luoxing's eyes sank slightly. This was too much of a coincidence...
"Puchi!" Biller pierced the male beast's throat with one claw, and the scream stopped again.
Biller shook off the blood on his hands. Ye Luoxing looked at the orc and felt that he looked familiar, so she quickly recognized him. Wasn't this male beast the toucan? That day, she first met Manling and Ennia. They each bet on a male beast to save the lives of Lyle and the others. The male beast that Ennia bet on was him.
Ye Luoxing remembered that her name was Biller. She dealt with him first that day, so quickly that she didn't have a deep impression of him. It was only when he was carried away that she noticed his human form.
"Female, you'd better move away, or you might get splashed with blood." Biller's voice sounded again, but he suddenly raised his head and locked onto her with his strange, cold eyes, like a ghost.
With just one glance, Ye Luoxing understood that he knew who she was and still resentful about what happened that day.
At this moment, Head had already brutally dragged a "lamb" and threw it into the middle of the road. He asked him coldly, "Tell me! Are you the orcs from the west? Or the hell beasts?"
"No, no, I'm not..." The male beast kept shaking his head to defend himself, but they obviously didn't believe him.
Head asked a few more questions, but didn't get the answer he wanted, so the orc was killed again.
Warm blood splashed onto Ye Luoxing's cloak. She looked at the remaining orcs who were about to be killed. They were all slowly showing fear on their faces. She felt bad. Inadvertently, she saw that another male beast that Biller had roughly pulled over had a mate mark printed on it...
"Wait!" She immediately widened her eyes and stopped him, "Doesn't he have a companion totem on him?
Biller kicked him to his knees. The eyes in the holes were colder than each other, as if they were used to killing.
The majestic beast standing tall above said indifferently: "Who knows if it's true."
Ye Luoxing found it unbelievable. Feixu followed up and said, "He said he brought a female into the city, but the female he mentioned could not be found in the city. The female disappeared without a sound. The group of Yan beasts that have been entrenched in the north recently seems to have not left. The female beast may have been captured or died, but he is alive..."
"Oh, isn't this too ridiculous?" Fei Xu glanced at her with a cold gaze, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
The continuous killings and their repeated words made Ye Luoxing feel uneasy. She felt more and more that they were coming for her. Lyle and his men did not have identity totems, and this male beast could not protect himself even if he had a female totem. And there was also the "dead female" they mentioned...
How could they say such things casually? Moreover, Ye Luoxing didn't really believe in the fake totem...
Until the blood in front of her eyes pierced red again, Sova noticed the change in her expression and wanted to say something. At this time, Tabor had raised his hand to stop Hede and Biller from continuing to kill. He said: "Okay, there are females here. There is no rush to deal with these orcs. Let's talk about business first."
Ye Luoxing glanced at Ta Bo with complicated eyes. The cave became quiet, but the strong smell of blood still kept rushing into her nostrils, and the feeling of being suffocated in her heart became stronger.
Head and Biller looked at each other, dragged the corpse to the sides, and the blood spread on the ground, which made it even more terrifying.
Ye Luoxing remembered that when he first met Biller, he had not yet entered the inner city. Now it seems that he has completely surrendered to the Bald Eagle clan. That's right, he was originally a strong man from the outer city. It is normal whether he was lured away or took the initiative to surrender.
Ye Luoxing stood where she was, without taking a step forward. She retracted her gaze and looked at the leading orc again.
In the strange silence, the figure sitting first moved slightly. Kochas raised his eyes lazily and met her star-like eyes. All the orcs focused their attention. He opened his lips slightly, and only his charming voice echoed slowly in the cave: "Female, it's an honor to invite you. I hope the blood stains just now didn't dirty your eyes!"
Ye Luoxing saw that he still had the same attitude, but under the current circumstances, she still nodded slightly in response to him.
“Heh…” Kochas chuckled, a little surprised to see her action, but Feixu remained indifferent.
Kochas said in a playful tone, and continued, "A female with a strong rank, ascending all the way through the Midnight City Overlord Competition. If you hadn't witnessed it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine."
His sudden words made Ye Luoxing's heart beat slower. Did he guess her purpose? So her match with Feixu suddenly ended, was it because of this reason...
"A simple bloodstain is not enough to scare a seventh-level female. I have no ill will towards you, and I'm sorry for what happened last night. You know I wasn't targeting a female." A faint polite smile appeared on Kochas' face.
He saw the rising alertness in Ye Luoxing's eyes. After listening to his explanation, Ye Luoxing felt a little unsure, but she would never let down her guard easily, especially since he was so similar to Krollin.
Feixu's voice suddenly interrupted: "Female, the 'ugly female arena' rumored in the outer city, is it you who opened it?"
Ye Luoxing responded: "Yeah."
Her concise and affirmative answer made the eyes of the high-level beasts in the cave droop, and Kochas's eyes flashed with surprise without concealing it, because when they learned the news in the early morning, they were much more surprised than they were now.
Fei Xu sneered: "Oh, a high-level male beast whose gender is concealed; a female beast whose entire identity is concealed, you really have many identities. What are you doing in the Beast City..."
Fei Xu glanced at her coldly. If the identity of the male beast was for the purpose of upgrading, then what was the purpose of the mysterious female's arena?
Fei Xu said in a deep voice: "Female, you should be thankful that you ran fast enough yesterday, otherwise, I might have accidentally killed you, which would have been troublesome~ After all, I never show mercy to the targets I want to kill."
Fei Xu's words sounded like he was afraid, but they sounded more like a threat, as if he would not regret it even if he killed her. And even though he knew now that she was a female, he would still not show mercy if she became his target.
Ye Luoxing guessed correctly, Fei Xu had the same idea, because he wanted to kill her to silence her yesterday.
Although Tabor praised her a lot, even if the rumors in the outer city were false, so what? Every beast city has no shortage of beautiful females and males, and in the Polar Night City, no female can overshadow Kati Qiao and Helige. She can be useful, but she can also be a "redundant" that can be eliminated at any time.
