Chapter 15 Hold me tight, I'll take you away
This sudden rainstorm and snow were accompanied by lightning and thunder. The terrifying thunder sounded for a long time before the dark clouds slowly dissipated and the sky suddenly brightened.
Sang Luo, who had poor night vision, finally no longer had to be blind.
The cold season has quietly arrived, and the blizzard is getting heavier and heavier. In just half a day's journey, the snow is nearly half a meter thick. The females and cubs have no place to stay and can only rely on the male orcs in their beast form to continue their journey.
Fortunately, Lan Cang had bought her several warm cloaks in the city before. Sang Luo was so cold that she quickly searched in her package and wrapped herself up like an airtight dumpling, barely resisting the freezing cold.
The sky quickly darkened again, and this time it was really dark.
The orcs were exhausted after running for a whole day. The team left the border of the Ruble Forest and stepped into this new forest. After seeing almost no trace of the beast tide, they found a safe place to rest.
Sang Luo hadn't eaten or drunk anything for the entire day and was both hungry and thirsty.
The females' companions all went hunting nearby, but there was very little prey in the cold season. They could only find a few hares and voles to roast and feed the females and their cubs. The males, who were slightly weaker, could basically only starve.
Sang Luo had no male partner by her side, and no one came to feed her while she squatted in the corner. Li Man and the others were busy with their own affairs, so she didn't feel comfortable going over to ask for food.
Oh! I should have learned some hunting skills earlier.
Tu Zhu came over at some point and handed her a grilled fish. He glanced at her fair and delicate face and strode away without saying anything.
“…”
Sang Luo took the grilled fish skewered with wooden sticks and was a little at a loss.
Could it be that I had wronged him before?
This guy is pretty nice.
She was so hungry that she had no time to think about anything else. She opened her mouth and took a big bite of the grilled fish.
Anu suddenly walked over quickly, snatched the grilled fish from her hand and threw it on the ground.
Looking at the empty hands, Sang Luo raised his head and glared.
What are you doing!
"If you don't want him to rape you at night, don't eat it."
Sang Luo was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.
She was really hungry just now and didn't pay attention. But when she smelled carefully, she found that there was a hint of aphrodisiac fruit in the grilled fish.
Fortunately, before he could swallow it, Sang Luo quickly spat out the chewed fish in his mouth, ran to the river where a big gap was made in the ice, and drank several mouthfuls of ice water to rinse his mouth.
This Tu Zhu was too despicable! Too disgusting! He could actually come up with such a sinister trick. No wonder he looked at her with such determination, as if she was already in his pocket.
But... looking at the cold grilled fish on the snow, Sang Luo squatted on the ground with his chest pressed against his back. He swallowed his saliva unwillingly and touched his growling stomach. After a while, the tall and slender figure came back again.
Anu grabbed two rabbits and squatted in front of her, holding a large pile of roasted firewood. "Do you like roasted rabbits?"
Sang Luo looked up at him in surprise.
Anu quickly built a fire, and unskillfully skinned and gutted the hare. After cleaning it by the river, he followed the other orcs' method and skewered the hare on two branches, then roasted it over the fire.
After roasting for about half an hour, the rabbit meat became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a hint of acceptable bloody smell - female orcs like to eat this kind of meat when it is 70% to 80% cooked the most.
Anu handed her one of the roasted rabbits.
Sang Luo had already swallowed her saliva due to the aroma. She took the barbecue and wanted to bite into it immediately, but when she thought of the car in front of her, she paused.
Just because Tuzhu is not a good person doesn’t mean Anu is a good person.
These male animals will do anything to mate and find a mate.
Anu looked at her cautious and fearful eyes and chuckled, "If I were really so unscrupulous, I wouldn't have stopped you just now, but would have taken the initiative."
He took the barbecue from her hand, took a bite and swallowed it before handing it back to him.
Seeing that the man looked normal, Sang Luo felt relieved and started eating.
She gnawed on half a rabbit, and her hunger was finally relieved a lot. She took out some canned seasoning from the package, sprinkled some powder on the barbecue, and then continued to eat slowly.
"Give me some too." Anu came over and it smelled strangely fragrant.
Sang Luo also sprinkled some seasoning on him.
After taking a bite, he praised it generously, "It tastes good."
[Lan Cang cooks delicious food. This is the powder he grinds with some spices. It's very convenient.]
"He's quite sweet."
After Anu said this, he buried his head in eating meat and stopped talking.
At night, the orcs stopped traveling and went to find some places nearby to rest.
Anu found an abandoned cave. The cave was not big, but it was more than enough to accommodate two people.
He went outside and pulled some unwithered vines together to use as a broom. After cleaning the cave inside and out, he lit a bonfire and laid out a few thick animal hide mats.
He sat cross-legged on the mat, patted the empty space beside him, and smiled with a charming look in his eyes. "It's cold, do you want to sleep against me?"
Sang Luo shook his head and refused.
I have a partner.
"So what you mean is that you want me to go out and sleep?" He was speechless. "You are quite good at occupying someone else's nest."
Sang Luo thought, why not she go and sleep with Li Man and the others, but they are all females and they rest in a cave with their partners... Li Man would definitely not refuse, but it would be somewhat inconvenient for her as an outsider to go there.
Seeing that she was really about to leave, Anu quickly stood up and grabbed her, pressing her back onto the mat. "If you don't want to, forget it. This cave was originally cleaned out for you to rest. You should have a good rest. I'll go find Luo Er and the others next door."
Before he left, he added a few more sticks to the fire, enough to burn until dawn, and then he left the cave.
Sang Luo was warmed by the flickering campfire, and the tension and fatigue of the day were relaxed, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, the sound of rustling footsteps came closer and closer, and an aggressive gaze full of interest swept over her body.
The body's instinctive warning suddenly woke Sang Luo up.
Tu Zhu had sneaked into the cave at some point and was staring at her with burning eyes.
Sang Luo's face turned pale and she almost screamed in fear.
Seeing that she had no symptoms of estrus, Tu Zhu was a little surprised, "You didn't eat that grilled fish?"
Sang Luo still stared at him, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at him.
Tu Zhu swung his hands in frustration, but an invisible force resisted and knocked all the rocks to the ground.
It seems that she really didn't eat the aphrodisiac fruit. This little female is quite smart and cautious.
But it doesn’t matter. It’s the same to Tu Zhu whether to eat or not. A female cannot resist a male with her strength. She can’t refuse whatever he wants to do.
"Mate with me, and you won't have to suffer along the way."
Tu Zhu stared at her delicate and fair face, his gaze slowly moving downwards, his eyes gradually becoming hot.
"As a single female, you are a piece of fat meat that everyone covets. Even if I'm not around, other males will definitely take your chances. It's better to accept me as soon as possible, rather than being defiled by those other bastards."
Tu Zhu stretched out his hand to hold the person in his arms, but Sang Luo bit his strong and slender arm hard.
"Ugh!" The orc's muscles were as hard as rock, and Sang Luo's teeth were almost broken. Tu Zhu pushed the man away in pain, and her shoulders and butterfly bones hit the stone wall hard. The pain made her sweat coldly and curl up.
Tu Zhu's last bit of sympathy for her completely disappeared. He rushed forward, pushed her to the ground, and tore her clothes roughly.
While Sang Luo felt sad and angry, she also felt a strong desire to resist. A golden light flashed in her dark eyes.
A bolt of lightning struck directly down!
Tu Zhu staggered back several steps, unable to believe it.
"Do you have a gifted power?"
Sang Luo also looked at her hands in shock. No, this was not her innate power, but Lan Cang's innate power.
The last time he came back... he left this power to her!
Sang Luo's power is more of a healing one, soft and has little attack power, but this lightning power is different. Although she can only inherit 10% of Lan Cang's innate power, and even has physical limitations, it is estimated that she can only exert 1% of his original power, but looking at Tu Zhu's fiery and fearful eyes, the attack power of this force is definitely not weak!
Then she has to stand up!
Sang Luo shook off his dejected look and used lightning to kill Zhu as if it was free. The more he used it, the more skilled he became. His hands even condensed balls of lightning and he threw them at him.
Tu Zhu raised his hand and condensed an earth shield to block most of the lightning attacks, but there would always be some that slipped through the net. Soon, his body was covered in blood, and his clothes were torn into tatters, making him look a little disheveled.
"I didn't want to be violent towards a female, but since you're so disobedient, don't blame me for having to do it."
Dozens of vines broke out of the ground and wrapped around her like a cage, trapping her.
"Using your innate power on females is quite immoral, Tu Zhu."
A clear and pleasant voice sounded at the entrance of the cave, and Sang Luo was so moved that she almost wanted to cry.
Although Anu may have bad intentions, he is at least a gentleman. She should have let him stay tonight!
Anu came to her side in an instant, condensed an invisible force in his hand to break the earth vines, protected her behind him, and confronted Tu Zhu with a grim expression.
【You never left?】
"I was in the cave not far from here. I was sleeping soundly, but when I heard some noise, I became worried and came to check on him."
"Booker, I advise you to mind your own business. You can't beat me!"
After finally getting rid of Lan Cang, Tu Zhu unexpectedly saw another troublesome Booker. His anger was burning in his heart.
Both of them are at level five, but he is at the peak of level five, and Booker just reached the initial level five more than two months ago, so he is no match for him at all!
"That's not necessarily true."
Anu chuckled casually, but Sang Luo felt that he was just pretending to be calm.
"Oh, do you really think you can protect this little female? Even Lan Cang can't beat me. If you go against me, you will die miserably like him!"
Sang Luo stared at Tu Zhu with wide eyes. It was he who harmed Lan Cang!
Tu Zhu noticed her angry gaze and smiled even more cruelly, breaking down her psychological defenses. "That guy is really lucky. The first time he encountered the Star Beast King, he was seriously injured. I originally planned to secretly give him a final blow, but I didn't expect that he just fell in realm and survived by lingering!"
"That loser even got a pretty little female like you. He's not worthy of you at all. You should be mine. That's why the second time I saw the Star Beast in Xilin, I deliberately lured him over. I thought Lan Cang, who had become a cripple, would be unable to defeat him, but I didn't expect him to survive and even recover his strength..."
Tu Zhu gnashed his teeth in jealousy as he spoke, but suddenly smiled. "So what if he survived two disasters? That loser was ultimately not favored by the Beast God, and this time he finally died in the mouth of a star beast. You'd better follow me obediently, and you'll suffer less."
"Tu Zhu! You actually did all these things!"
The chief, several other elders, and many orcs were standing at the entrance of the cave at some point.
Tu Zhu's body stiffened, and he glared at Anu angrily, "You're the one who called!"
"If Booker hadn't told us that you had bad intentions towards females, we really wouldn't have known that you did so many dirty things behind our backs! You almost killed Brother Lan Cang back then!" A Tai shouted.
"...So what? Considering the current situation of the Kordo tribe, do you want to expel me from the tribe, old chief?" Tu Zhu was panicked for a moment, then laughed again, even more arrogantly.
"Lan Cang is dead and can't come back. If you want to expel me from the tribe, I can leave now. But before I leave, I want to take this little female with me."
Tu Zhu pointed at Sang Luo and secretly glanced at the second elder while speaking.
The second elder suddenly had an idea and immediately walked up to the old patriarch and whispered, "What Tu Zhu said is not without reason. The tribe is in need of people right now. With Lan Cang dead, only Tu Zhu is left to be the backbone. If we expel him from the tribe now, I'm afraid the tribe will..."
The clan leader was already very old and had long since stopped caring about tribal affairs, leaving most of the clan's affairs to the elders. Tu Zhu was a descendant of the first elder, and the first and second elders had long been secretly supporting him as the new clan leader, so naturally they were on his side.
It was for this reason that Tu Zhu was so unscrupulous.
Today, the Kordo tribe is on the verge of collapse and is almost extinct in name only.
He could leave the Koldo tribe.
But today the Kordo tribe cannot do without him.
The patriarch was obviously hesitant.
"Luoluo, you have no one to take care of you now, so why don't you accept Tuzhu? Even if... you don't like him, a partner at the peak of the fifth level will not do you any harm. He is your best choice right now." Doji stepped forward and couldn't help but persuade her.
She is a person who attaches great importance to the interests of the tribal group, and at this time, she chose to stand on the side of the tribe.
Sang Luo couldn't help feeling sarcastic. If Lan Cang knew that the Kordo tribe he protected wanted her to give herself to another male, he wondered if he would still be so desperate for this tribe, even losing his life.
Seeing this, Tu Zhu smiled even more triumphantly and reached out to grab her.
"If you decide to leave the Kordo tribe, hold me tight." Anu suddenly put his arms around Sang Luo's waist, and his low and seductive voice sounded softly in her ears, like another strange man.
Sang Luo hugged him without hesitation. A white light flashed before her eyes, and the next moment, they arrived at an unfamiliar mountain area.
