Chapter 8: Counterattack
Al's screams caused Bafeng and Feng, who were not far away, to stop fighting.
The two orcs were of similar levels, and it was impossible to tell who was winning for the time being.
Bafeng retracted the flame, glanced at Feng, and then disappeared in front of him like a gust of wind.
Feng originally wanted to chase after him to stop Bafeng from rescuing the female kidnapped by his companions.
After just a few steps, the totem, which had been motionless, suddenly became extremely hot.
'Bang, bang, bang,...' He seemed to hear the frequency of the totem flashing and the heartbeat overlapping.
Without hesitation, he searched in the direction indicated by the totem.
He wanted to kill the other party in order to lift the curse of the Beast God on him.
…
Bai Yue was a little lost in the jungle.
[System, where are we going?] She asked the system while rubbing the thick mud off her feet on a branch.
The soil in this world is so sticky that it feels like wearing shoes after walking a few steps.
"I'm checking..." the system said faintly. As an object recognition system, aside from its extensive knowledge base, its other functions were rather useless.
It's normal for things to go wrong from time to time.
[Hurry up! If you delay any longer, your dear host will have to stay here and feed the mosquitoes.]
[Checking, checking.] The urged system responded quickly.
Not knowing where to go next, Bai Yue found a relatively quiet place to sit down, staring at the dense leaves in boredom.
The sounds of various insects can be heard in my ears.
suddenly--
The surroundings became extremely quiet, even the faint chirping of insects disappeared completely.
Bai Yue realized something was wrong.
As soon as he stood up, someone grabbed his waist from behind with hands like iron pliers.
The next second, a hot body pressed against her back. The body was very tall, and when she was held like that, her head didn't even reach the neck of the other person.
Bai Yue looked panicked and wanted to escape, but she couldn't move at all.
"Who are you?" she asked in a trembling voice.
The other party did not respond.
He just changed from pinching her waist with both hands to hugging her waist with one hand, and his free hand kept moving upwards.
Until he gently held her neck, like playing with a toy that he couldn't let go.
The murderous aura that was like strangling almost suffocated Bai Yue.
He wants to kill her!
Realizing this possibility, Bai Yue's hair stood up all over his body.
Especially since her weakness is in the opponent's hands. With just a little force, her neck will be broken.
The rough fingers rubbed Bai Yue's neck carefully, giving her goose bumps all over her body.
"Who are you?" Bai Yue repeated, trying hard to suppress her fear.
The other person responded with a chuckle, not paying any attention to her reaction.
"What's your name?" The orc's voice was full of carelessness, as if he was asking the name of a beautiful pet.
But behind Bai Yue, a hint of complexity flashed across Feng's eyes.
The hot totem on his chest disappeared as if it had never appeared the moment it touched the female in front of him.
He had come to kill her.
Killing this female who could decide his life.
But when he finally found her, the fighting spirit he had maintained for more than 20 years was shaken at this moment.
Is this the Beast God's punishment for them?
Even though they knew that the contractor could kill them, the moment they met, the grudges accumulated over the years disappeared like smoke.
"Be good and tell me your name." Feng was a little unhappy when he didn't get a response from the female.
He wanted Bai Yue to remember his face, but he felt inferior because of the scars on his face.
This originally belonged to the glory of males, but at this moment it became an excuse for his cowardice.
Would she dislike him less because she saw the scar on his face?
White fox orcs are famous for their good looks, so they are naturally very picky when choosing a mate.
"Bai Yue." She said her name softly, and her whole body looked like a frightened white rabbit.
"Bai Yue, Bai Yue..." The wind murmured her name, as if wanting to remember it in his heart.
"My name is wind," he said, the wind that sways everywhere and has no place to stay.
Bai Yue tried hard to raise the corners of her mouth, not wanting to anger the orcs behind her when she was at a disadvantage.
I kept calling out to the system for help: [System! System! Come out and help me!]
The system suddenly reappeared, sensing the presence of the wind and instantly becoming active: [Wait. Don't be afraid, turn around and face him. I have a feeling he is the contractor.]
"Then can you protect me from dying?" Bai Yue said weakly, "I'm really a little afraid of death."
[Guaranteed.] Faced with the allure of points, the system lost its previous cowardice.
Bai Yue took a deep breath and slowly turned around with the courage given by the system.
"Don't move." Feng saw her move and quickly scolded her.
Bai Yue stopped immediately and used an excuse she had prepared long ago.
"I...I want to see what you look like, can I?" The magnetic voice was soft and sticky, like a feather tickling Feng's heart, making him feel itchy and wanting to hear a few more words.
However, what made him even more unbelievable was what the female said.
"Aren't you afraid that I look ugly?" Feng asked tentatively.
"I'm not afraid. And I don't discriminate against others based on their looks. After all, everyone's appearance is innate." Bai Yue answered his question while wondering why he asked that.
Ugly or not has nothing to do with her.
After completing this task, she will let the system take her away.
Bai Yue's words soothed Feng.
He hesitated for a few seconds and slowly let go of Bai Yue.
The latter slowly turned around and met Feng's slightly nervous face.
The orc had a tense face, a hooked nose, and sharp eyebrows, but what attracted her most was the crooked scar on his face.
She couldn't help but touch it and asked, "How did you get hurt?"
The wind's throat slid open, and for the first time, it felt the desire to complain to someone.
"Injured by a ferocious beast."
"Does it hurt?" Bai Yue asked again.
Feng subconsciously wanted to shake his head due to his male pride, but when he met the caring eyes of the female, he instantly changed his words.
"pain."
"It hurts? Of course it hurts--" The female in front of him suddenly changed her expression and pointed a finishing knife that she had taken out from somewhere at his face.
Feng's pupils shrank slightly and he quickly dodged backwards.
She's going to kill him???
But when he stood firmly on his feet, the female who was in front of him had completely disappeared.
Just like the wind, it just blew by gently and then disappeared.
Feng was stunned on the spot, clutching the burning totem on his chest and muttering to himself: "She lied to me..."
On the other side, Bai Yue rolled and crawled back to the forest.
I kept shouting in my mind: [Ah ...
Bai Yue felt relieved when he saw the familiar cave.
The system was still repeating the results of the previous scan: [Dark Orcs—a race cursed by the Beast God. They primarily kill orcs for fun and possess immortal bodies. The only ones who can kill them are their contractors.]
[Contractor? What is a contractor?] Bai Yue was completely confused.
System explanation: [These are orcs who can kill them.]
[…Hopefully, their contractor will show up soon.] Bai Yue made a wish.
What happened just now really scared her.
He appeared without a word and was able to accurately find her vital point.
If he had wanted to kill her just now, she would probably have become a cold corpse now.
[System, when will the rewards be distributed? ]
【Distribute now.】
