Zhang Feng looked very calm on the surface, but as to whether he was the same in his heart, only he knew.
"Master Zhang Feng, may I ask why you are here?"
The masked leader took off his mask, revealing a somewhat weathered face.
"I...I went out to play and got separated from the servants."
Zhang Feng answered with gritted teeth.
Since everyone thinks he is a noble, there should be no problem for him to pretend for a while.
"oh……"
"Keep your voice down, this is a noble!"

"yes!"
The rat beastman originally wanted to say that humans should just handle their own affairs, but seeing Zhang Xiaotang's somewhat unfriendly look, he quickly changed his words.
"Okay, then be careful on the road. By the way, these things are for you."
"And there's a little girl... hehe!"
This greatly increased Zhang Feng's favorable impression of this world.
Only then did Zhang Feng realize that he didn't know her name either.
Zhang Feng asked worriedly, "Are you really not going to Hongye City with me?"
However, it is not known whether Beard heard what Zhang Feng said. Anyway, after leaving, he said a few words to a few subordinates and then left.
Zhang Xiaotang was not interested in the fighting and killing among humans, and originally wanted to let the rat beastmen handle it, but suddenly she was stunned.
"Why?"
"ah!"
They didn't see Zhang Feng, nor did they see Zhang Xiaotang. They only saw a pair of red eyes.
The next morning, Zhang Feng slept until he woke up naturally.
Zhang Xiaotang looked at the rat orc and asked, "How many gold coins do we have left?"
After all, in the Sunset Mountains, humans are in a dominant position.
But Zhang Xiaotang believed it because she had met Zhang Feng and knew that Zhang Feng was a kind person.
Seeing that these orcs were interested in Red Leaf City, Quick felt that his chance to survive had come, so he quickly said again:
Zhang Xiaotang looked determined.
The bear beastman also spoke.
"Who are you, where are you from, what do you want to do? If you dare to tell a lie, he will swallow you up!"
He doesn't even know how he's going to get through tomorrow, so how can he have the time to pay attention to others?
"Do you remember what I said before, that I was saved by a human?"
"How many of our tribesmen do we have?"
“Could it be…”
Is he the city lord?
I have to help him!
He wanted to say, regardless of whether the other party is kind or not, we are all a bunch of good-for-nothings, will they want us? Can they afford to support us?
Zhang Feng muttered, as if he was disdainful of Beard.
"Hey, he should be asleep!"
However, the expected threat did not appear. The bounty hunter named Beard saluted Zhang Feng, then retreated with a smile.
The leader looked at Zhang Feng and fell into deep thought.
Neither the coachman nor Zhang Feng noticed it.
So Zhang Feng said in a somewhat tough tone:
"But that noble seems a little suspicious!"
In fact, Zhang Feng was already feeling a little bitter in his heart.
Zhang Xiaotang was a little surprised.
If Beard were here, he would definitely be shocked. This was the fox orc he had been looking for, the most wanted criminal with the highest bounty on their wanted list! However, this situation did not last long. Her limbs that had just grown longer began to shrink again, and her bulging breasts began to deflate.
The middle-aged man trotted over with a serious expression.
Zhang Xiaotang took out the last remaining lollipop with a determined look.
Some humans also do business with orcs, but the price is more than 30% higher.
Zhang Xiaotang left, but Zhang Feng didn't feel anything special.
She was stunned for a moment, then a little discouraged.
Open the tent, stare blankly, turn around, and walk into the darkness.
“It’s winter again!”
"So I said that he meets most of the characteristics of a noble. He is definitely a noble, without any disguise. And he looks like a noble who has rarely gone out, or he has always been well protected by the knights, and this is the first time he has gone out alone. But this also means that his family's power may be terrifying, so if we can avoid offending them, we should try not to offend them, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Zhang Feng naturally felt much more relaxed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Three figures appeared, some of them holding sticks, some holding knives, and it was obvious that they had no good intentions.
…
In the afternoon, Zhang Feng took a nap in the car.
"good!"
Zhang Feng naturally had no idea what was happening here. He was in a daze in the carriage.
The companion replied.
"What does your search for your wanted criminal have to do with me? This is my servant, you have no right to check!"
The little girl nodded.
Is he in danger?
But afterwards Zhang Feng thought, are people in this world still easy to talk to? Bounty hunter sounds like a very cool profession, but they retreated after just a few words from him, which shows that they are still very civilized.
During this period, Zhang Feng also shared some food with her, but Zhang Xiaotang was also very sensible and just tasted it and didn't eat much.
But Zhang Xiaotang had already set out on the road alone, oh no, with Quick, who looked desperate.
The middle-aged man said that they would soon reach Red Leaf City, where there would be knights and soldiers. He would be protected by Red Leaf City and no longer had to worry about danger.
Zhang Xiaotang frowned.
"Yes, that's the Red Leaf City!"
But at this time, Zhang Xiaotang proposed to say goodbye.
"That is to say, if we use this gold coin to buy food, it can support everyone..."
"Why do you want to protect me?"
"Sir, there is only one Red Leaf City near the Sunset Mountains."
Zhang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other party finally leave.
When she felt that Zhang Feng had merged that drop of blood, Zhang Xiaotang pinched Zhang Feng's nose.
Zhang Feng put his coat on her, and Zhang Xiaotang was awakened by Zhang Feng's action.
…
Zhang Xiaotang: “…”
Bill said with a smile.
"That can't be helped. We tried our best."
However, one thing was beyond Zhang Feng's expectations. He thought he would encounter some situations on the road, such as robbers or something like that. The more backward and ignorant the place is, the worse the public security is and the more difficult it is to manage.
"Thanks."
The howling of wolves came from afar, like a pack of wolves, but the howling suddenly stopped.
"Are you sure there's nothing missing?"
Zhang Feng just thought she was worldly-wise and didn't take it too seriously.
"good."
Although the carriage was very old, Zhang Feng felt it was a unique and novel experience.
This made Zhang Feng feel a little emotional.
He felt his back was wet with sweat.
"You saved my life when I was at my weakest. I will repay you, but I have something important to do, so I have to leave first. Please wait for me."
"I've marked you, wait for me."
What Zhang Xiaotang cares about most is that the current mayor of Hongye City is called Zhang Feng.
"Sir, because you were framed by a traitor, we have suffered heavy losses during this period, and your strength has been greatly reduced. However, we have not prepared winter supplies for this year. If we don't prepare, some of our tribesmen may not survive this winter. This winter is colder than usual!"
"Um."
Zhang Xiaotang wanted to abandon them and run away. They were all good-for-nothings! When Zhang Xiaotang was having a headache, the bear beastman came back again.
Zhang Feng remembered that he gave her his last lollipop. This might be his last lollipop in this world, so this name is still very commemorative.
Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, then he felt some sympathy, and his desire to protect him exploded again. He didn't even have a name, so he must be a poor child who had no parents since childhood. Thinking of his own life experience, Zhang Feng tentatively said:
"That doesn't sound good. Let me think about it again—"
The leader is estimated to be worth at least a dozen gold coins!
Zhang Xiaotang was very interested in the things happening in Hongye City. Half an hour had passed before Quick finished telling her what he had seen and heard in Hongye City.
After this incident, everyone here was in a bad mood, but this had nothing to do with Zhang Feng. He had already set off in the middle-aged man's carriage.
Not everyone is as powerful as Zhang Xiaotang. Orcs are also ordinary people and they also have children.
However, the situation that Zhang Feng was worried about did not occur. There were no robbers at all. Occasionally, he met some people on the road, and they were all very humble and respectful to Zhang Feng, and some even gave way to him.
Leaving behind a group of naked refugees shivering.
"Very good, tell everyone to pack up and go to Red Leaf City!"
The bear beastman grabbed a man with a terrified face as if he was picking up a chicken.
The rat orcs looked at her speechlessly, feeling that she wanted to entrust these orcs to someone else.
His companions were very curious and didn't know why Beard came to this conclusion.
At this time, a thin rat beastman next to him spoke. He had a middle-aged face, but was as tall as Zhang Xiaotang in loli state.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
The place she wanted to go was no longer on her way from here.
"I see. I'm glad to learn this!"
"No, I have something else to do."
This person was none other than the horse thief Quick who had left Hongye City earlier.
"The benefits offered by Red Leaf City are very good. If I wasn't afraid that our boss would kill me, I would have gone there myself. Moreover, the city lord is very kind. He also recruits orcs. Orcs and humans are treated the same and can eat all they want every day! There are orcs in Red Leaf City!"
"Yes, that person is Zhang Feng. He is in danger now. Tell me, what should I do?"
"Hehe, it seems I still have a talent for naming."
Zhang Feng was somewhat happy, not because he had any intentions towards her, but because he had someone he could talk to.
My companion suddenly said:
Zhang Xiaotang reached out, gently stroked Zhang Feng's face, and muttered to herself.
However, when they saw the situation in the tent, they were suddenly stunned.
"I...OK."
"We are looking for a wanted criminal. Can I check the civilian in your arms? Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Beard Clark, and I'm a bounty hunter."
"Huh? Why are there so few of us here?"
Zhang Feng was very tired that day. He was talking to Zhang Xiaotang one moment and fell asleep the next.
"No, that noble is not her."
After hearing what the rat orc said and seeing the bloody mouth of the bear orc, the man almost fainted. He really didn't know that there were legendary orcs in the Sunset Mountains! "My name is Quick, and I'm from the Wind Bandits. We came to the Sunset Mountains because we were going to attack Red Leaf City. I wanted to see if I could take a shortcut through the Sunset Mountains, but I got lost. I wandered around in the Sunset Mountains for three days and came to you. Please, for my ignorance, let me live!"
Zhang Feng patted his chest, looking very heroic. As for the fact that he was ready to beg for mercy at any time, there was no way he could say it out loud, it was too embarrassing.
As for why he is called Zhang Xiaotang instead of Zhang Bangtang, it is because the latter is too stupid.
"Huh? No name?"
"How about I give you a name?"
"ah!"
About three kilometers away from Zhang Feng, there were a dozen people riding horses and galloping.
"Two hundred and thirty-one."
Zhang Feng patted the little girl in his arms on the back and spoke to comfort her.
As for the middle-aged man pulling the carriage. Emm... the smell in his mouth made Zhang Feng have no desire to speak.
Every time they walked a certain distance, some people would leave, and only the middle-aged man's carriage kept moving forward.
Don't look at me!
"Damn it, you still can't fully recover your strength!?"
"Sir, we don't know what happened here last night. Some people disappeared inexplicably. We should set off early."
In the carriage, Zhang Feng kept asking Zhang Xiaotang about the human society in this world, but strangely, Zhang Xiaotang always hesitated and couldn't say anything for a long time.
But since the other party brought it up, Zhang Feng had no reason to stop it. After all, the two had only known each other for one day.
Four more figures came to Zhang Feng's tent.
After all, they have experienced moving so many times that they are used to it. But if they knew that their leader was going to send them to a human city, I wonder what they would think.
Zhang Xiaotang said affirmatively.
Half an hour later.
She needed to find out clearly first. After all, she said that these tribesmen were a burden, but after so many years, she had never abandoned anyone.
Bounty Hunter...
Her hair began to grow longer and whiter, her ears began to point, her arms and legs began to lengthen, her chest began to swell, and she grew a fluffy white tail…
At the same time, Zhang Xiaotang's appearance also changed drastically.
"Very good, take their heads and warn others. This is the result of colluding with humans!"
"right!"
Zhang Xiaotang asked the rat orc.
Zhang Xiaotang winked at the rat orc.
Hunting alone is not enough.
What's more, they are on a deserted road. If they really meet one, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.
In an instant, several horse thieves fell from their horses and lay motionless on the ground.
At the same time, there were other people along the way, including merchants and refugees.
Zhang Xiaotang was still calculating when the rat beastman spoke.
The rat beastman immediately began to interrogate the man.
There were actually not many orcs like these two hundred, and most of them were very strong, and they didn't have much stuff, so they packed up quickly.
Zhang Feng handed Zhang Xiaotang a few biscuits, and Zhang Xiaotang took them with a somewhat unnatural look.
Because these humans are also taking risks. There have been cases in the past where orcs refused to pay during transactions and robbed humans. Of course, there have also been cases where humans set traps to lure orcs and capture them.
Deep in a forest in the Sunset Mountains.
In order to save his life, Quick didn't care about anything. He would confess whatever was asked. As long as he could save his life, he would never come to the Sunset Mountains again. Who the hell knew there were orcs here?
If you want to draw your sword, then draw it. If you want to threaten me, then threaten me. As long as you dare to draw your sword, I will kneel down and beg for mercy!
The torn blanket has a bit of a sour smell, but at this point, there’s no need to be so particular.
The little girl looked a little confused.
The rat beastman immediately looked miserable. If he had a good idea, he would have solved it long ago and would not have bothered her.
Since he is pretending to be a noble, you can't just back off. At least you have to draw your knife and threaten him. If you can intimidate a noble with just a few words, Zhang Feng feels that he is not a noble at all.
The rat beastman was stunned for a moment.
Especially her pair of charming eyes, as if they can capture your soul with just one look.
Zhang Feng had only seen this profession in books, and didn't know if this bounty hunter was different from what he knew.
He was just talking nonsense to save his life.
Unheard-of delicacies and wines, clean and tidy streets, a town hall that is always recruiting, and a super rich city lord.
Beard asked his companion: "Are you sure there is nothing missing?"
Little girl: “…”
It’s not that he doubted Zhang Feng’s noble identity, but he suspected that Zhang Feng was dead and this person was impersonated by his target.
"So what if he's a noble? He's alone and he's definitely no match for us!"
But suddenly, a shadow rushed into the group of horse thieves.
Beard frowned. He really tried his best.
"Sir, the traitors have been killed. What should we do next?"
"But we also have orcs who are not good at fighting!"
"I was rude, I apologize to you, sir."
Whoosh~ Zhang Xiaotang disappeared.
Although Zhang Xiaotang thinks that Zhang Feng should accept these orcs, this is just her opinion. No one knows what the actual situation will be like, and there may still be variables.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Ten seconds later, all the horse thieves were dead except for the horses which were intact.
A horse thief was shocked, but he couldn't see who was coming.
Ever since she became their leader, every winter has been a headache for her.
"who!"
And another point is that although these people look ferocious, they did not harm the lives of the refugees, which shows that they still have a certain degree of discipline.
"You're smart."
It’s not much, but it represents Zhang Feng’s heart.
The tent was closed.
"Three days at most."
"Okay, it's okay!"
If anyone was here, they would definitely recognize them as the feared horse thieves! And the direction they were heading towards was Zhang Feng's location.
Besides, Zhang Xiaotang cannot wreak havoc in human society without restraint. Her bounty is already very high. If she raises it further, bounty hunters from all over the world will come looking for her.
This is a bear orc.
"Uh, Boss, I captured a human."
The rat beastman quickly reminded:
Zhang Feng suddenly asked.
"Name? I don't have a name."
…
Even when the tall and strong bear beastman was half-kneeling on the ground, he was still taller than Zhang Xiaotang.
When he came outside, Zhang Feng suddenly discovered that there was a large group of people yesterday, but when he looked again today, the number had been reduced by at least one third.
Zhang Xiaotang, who had a loli figure, dropped the knife in her hand that was still dripping with blood. Behind her, dozens of headless corpses were kneeling on the ground.
Beard stared at Zhang Feng with a serious expression, and Zhang Feng stared at him in the same uncompromising manner.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaotang shrank several sizes.
The rat beastman was somewhat surprised and said:
Anyway, no one can trust each other easily.
It's really unique that Zhang Feng can still complain wildly in such a situation.
He was still frightened by the other party's ability to disguise.
These words were naturally made up by Quick. There were orcs in Hongye City, the wolf-eared girl Amy, but he had never seen one. As for recruiting orcs, it was also false because when Zhang Feng posted the recruitment notice, he didn't even know about the existence of orcs.
"It seems there is no other solution unless we buy food from humans."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"Yes, sir. There are eleven of us, all here."
"Yes, she is not among these refugees. If we can't catch her this time, it will be even more difficult in the future!"
He didn't have too many twists and turns in his mind. He knew that the other person saved the adult's life, so when the adult was in danger, he should save him.
The people in this alien world are so simple and honest!
The next day, when leaving the tent, Zhang Feng found that some people were going their separate ways.
Sitting in the carriage from morning to afternoon, Zhang Feng was shaken to the point of wanting to vomit. He kept thinking, how nice it would be if he had a car. He would have arrived here long ago.
Hearing that these people were missing, Zhang Feng was a little worried and naturally agreed with the middle-aged man's words.
"Ah? Is this a characteristic of aristocrats? But the aristocrats I met before were not like this. At least they were not as good-looking as him, and their clothes were not as good-looking as his..."
But he actually wanted this little girl? Zhang Feng was naturally unwilling.
Judging from his appearance, Zhang Feng is undoubtedly a nobleman, because he is wearing exquisite clothes that no one else has.
After saying that, Zhang Xiaotang leaned over and gently bit her lip, and a drop of blood fell into Zhang Feng's slightly open mouth.
Zhang Feng didn't understand why such a little kid had so many problems.
It was not only because of the desire to protect, but more importantly, he knew from the performance of these people just now that the nobles seemed to have a higher status here.
But since you don't say anything, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing if I just knelt down?
“…”
"Uh... good morning."
"Uh... how should I put it? It's just a subconscious behavior. Isn't it instinctive to protect the weak? Besides, I'm a man. It's also instinctive for a man to protect a woman."
It is impossible for Zhang Xiaotang herself to starve to death, after all, she is very strong. If she really has no other choice, she can steal some things from human society, but the same cannot be done for other orcs.
"No, there is only one gold coin left."
"……Good morning."
Then the eyes of the three people became dull. After a few seconds, they turned around and slowly walked into the darkness.
“Help!”
Zhang Xiaotang and the other two were stunned.
"good!"
The middle-aged man had two tents, one for himself and the other for Zhang Feng and Zhang Xiaotang.
The little girl fell into deep thought.
"Ah? You agree?"
Zhang Xiaotang frowned.
"How about you just take my last name? My last name is Zhang, and you can be called Zhang Xiaotang. How about that?"
If people in modern society could have this attitude, wouldn’t society be a better place?
The rat-orc held up a finger.
…
The girl looked up at him, with some doubt and confusion in her gray eyes.
"What did you say? Red Leaf City? Which Red Leaf City?"
Zhang Feng didn't hear anything at all and he slept well again.
The tent was not big. Zhang Feng and Zhang Xiaotang were wearing their clothes and lying on a tattered blanket.
"Ten? That's a bit difficult!"
"One hundred, that's a lot!"
When Zhang Feng said this, although his tone was calm, his body was trembling slightly, and only the little girl in his arms could feel it.
But this seemingly simple question stumped Zhang Feng.
From beginning to end, the middle-aged man driving the car felt nothing, and the same was true for Zhang Feng.
Zhang Xiaotang spoke softly.
And one kilometer away.
Night had come again. Thinking of those people who disappeared inexplicably yesterday, Zhang Feng was a little scared. However, fear could not stop him from being sleepy. He fell asleep around dawn.
"Yes—ah? Everyone is going?"
"Your Excellency's savior is our savior, so we must go and save him!"
She was somewhat touched by the way Zhang Feng seemed to be very scared but still went ahead.
While he was sleeping, a gust of wind blew and Zhang Xiaotang appeared in the carriage without him noticing.
At night, the group found a flat area to set up camp.
One month later.
Especially since they are still in the Sunset Mountains, there is no way to grow any crops here. Normally, they can still hunt, but now the wild beasts rarely go out.
Zhang Feng opened his backpack, took out a bag of snacks from the backpack, and stuffed them all into Zhang Xiaotang's hands.
What is most amazing is her face. The baby fat with freckles is gone, replaced by a charming and delicate face, which has both the softness of an oriental and the depth of a westerner.
"Who said we are all going to fight? He is recruiting people, let's go and help!"
"Because he meets most of the characteristics of a noble - good-looking, clean, noble clothing, never lagging behind others in language, and regards face as life, but he has no strength of his own. When facing threats alone, he is a bit timid."
The bear orc stood up, picked up a branch from the tree at random, then string the heads together and left with a thump.
Each of them was dressed differently, which looked rather messy, but they all had a scimitar of the same size hanging around their waists.
But Beard rejected it outright.
Zhang Feng frowned.
But he had no servants, which was another big doubt.
A soft snoring sound was heard. Zhang Xiaotang looked at Zhang Feng without any expression. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaotang's pupils turned red.
This made Zhang Xiaotang very unhappy, but she also knew that it was not the bear orcs' fault.
This is the longest sentence the little girl has ever said.
The person who spoke was a little giant who was about two meters and five centimeters tall. His exposed skin was covered with brown hair, and his arms were thicker than Zhang Xiaotang's waist. His face was similar to that of a human, but full of murderous intent. However, the two round brown ears on his hands made him look less ferocious.
"Where are you going? If it's on your way, you can come with me."
If Zhang Feng knew what Beard was thinking, he would be scared to death. With just a few words, he could see through Zhang Feng so clearly. Such a person is simply terrifying.
The little girl thought about it for a moment, then nodded.
There was no electricity, no internet, and even the only person he talked to was gone. Zhang Feng had never felt so lonely before.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Xiaotang lying curled up beside him. Her face was a little pale, and he wondered if she was cold.
More than ten seconds later, the tent was opened from the outside.
And judging from the decapitated heads, these people were obviously orcs.
The rat-orc shook his head.
“Awoo~Awoo——”
"Zhang Feng, here I come!"
…
Zhang Feng sneezed for no apparent reason. He rubbed his nose and looked up, looking at the concrete wall that was more than ten meters high. He was a little confused as he had just come through it.
"Eh? Is this really my Red Leaf City?"
I just proposed a theory, but you actually realized it? ————————————
