Chapter 8
Li Hao thought that no accidents would happen in the next few days, and the barrage of comments no longer asked her to do anything else. The most they asked was how she felt and whether there was any special scenery, such as the carriages pulled by monsters.
There are also various human details, such as the gathering of orcs, changes in the weather, etc.
When Li Hao emerged from the hotel, phone in hand, and headed for the restaurant, it was already day six. It was almost over in the blink of an eye. She already knew enough vocabulary to form a complete sentence, and she could barely understand the meaning of words through the fixed vocabulary. At least she had ordered a new dish for lunch today. On the way back to the hotel, she chatted with the commentators and thought about what to order tomorrow.
But in the darkness, several pairs of eyes were watching her, their gazes harboring ill intentions.
"Are you sure this human girl is alone?" The leading hyena was the tallest.
"I'm sure I noticed her when I saw her on the black street. I followed her to the hotel. I observed her all day yesterday and she was alone. I asked people I know, and they remembered her too. It seemed like she suddenly appeared in Charleston," the hyena scout answered bluntly. He had noticed the human girl walking alone on the black street. Although she was wearing a wizard's robe, her halting manner and childish appearance immediately caught his eye. So he followed her to the hotel.
"If it's a human, Third Brother, you did a good job. It looks like he's most likely a human aristocrat. A big fat sheep and a big piece of meat. Hehehe, I didn't expect that such a good thing could be picked up by our One-eared Hyena Team." Another Hyena team member laughed.
"Boss, we agreed that I will get an extra 10% this time." The third brother quickly added.
"Don't worry, as long as you get this piece of meat, you will definitely not be at a loss. Well, she is coming, don't be too happy too soon. Xiao Si, go and lure her out, don't let the patrol team find us." Captain Hyena said while reminding other team members to be prepared.
Li Hao was walking normally when he saw a tiny orc rushing out. It hugged Li Hao's feet and squeaked at him.
"I dropped my things, sister, can you help me pick them up? I can't reach them~"
Li Hao looked at the little orc in front of him warily. Because he was a child, even the fangs in his open mouth did not reduce his cuteness. Big eyes matched with a furry face. Most human girls like little orcs like them the most. It had been unlucky in the past.
But Li Hao wasn't moved. Instead, he pushed the other person's hand away and walked forward without saying a word, completely ignoring the other person.
If a kid suddenly comes out and tries to scam Li Hao, even if Li Hao understands what he is saying, he will definitely not be fooled.
Seeing that the girl was not fooled at all, the boss directly signaled the people around him to move forward.
They moved quickly, and two adult orcs appeared before Li Hao. Li Hao was still too slow, having already realized something was amiss. They blocked Li Hao from the left and right.
Her reaction was quick enough, "Help!"
But before she could even shout, she was stopped by the orcs next to her. They covered Li Hao's hands and easily lifted her up.
Movies and TV shows are all fake. How can someone resist when their mouth is covered? The orc's palm was as big as Li Hao's face, and its strength was so great that Li Hao was suffocated by it.
Li Hao's hands and feet resisted like a chicken, and the two orcs led Li Hao into the alley.
"You're going to kill people if you cover them like this." The eldest brother looked at the second brother who covered the girl's entire face and slapped him on the head.
"She's going to scream, and I'm worried about the patrol team coming." The second brother released his hand that was covering Li Hao.
Li Hao recovered from the suffocation and wanted to shout, but something was stuffed into his mouth, and then his face was tied up with a cloth.
The technique was so fast that Li Hao had no chance to resist.
"Alright, humans are very fragile. Be careful if they die, or this meat ticket will be worthless. And don't get hurt, a whole human girl will cost a lot more."
Li Haodai's phone was still live streaming, and they could only see the texture of the clothes, but they could hear the voice on the other end.
When the first little orc appeared, they, like Li Hao, realized that something was wrong. But things developed faster than they thought.
The three of them were completely at a loss. "What should we do? What should we do?" Lin Lan's eyes suddenly turned red.
"It shouldn't be that bad. They didn't attack directly, but tied Li Hao up. They shouldn't attack directly..." Li Maoxue said, trying to keep calm.
Li Hao, who was tied up tightly, was placed on the ground, against the cold stone slab. Li Hao did not move. She was now detached from her emotions, and fear did not affect her thinking.
This group of people were well-trained and definitely used to doing this kind of thing. They were well-prepared with their tools, and they didn't even search her body. She didn't even touch her bag, which meant they weren't asking for her money.
Maybe they wanted to sell her into slavery, but she was valuable, at least she was alive.
As long as she persisted, she could escape within four days. She closed her eyes and watched the countdown on the panel. Three days and nineteen hours.
Can she hold on? she asked herself.
Then she opened her eyes and looked at the group of orcs who had kidnapped him. But soon her gaze froze. Because she heard that familiar sound, the sound of scales rubbing against each other.
At this time, the orcs were discussing the division of labor. Li Hao's quiet state made them relax their vigilance. They had kidnapped many human noble girls before, and they were all perfect hostages with no ability to resist.
Li Hao lay on the ground listening to the sound getting closer and closer. She buried her face and used the rough stone pavement to loosen the cloth on her face. She did not stop even though her face was scratched with red marks.
After making sure that the cloth strip is a little loose, use your tongue to press the cloth strip in your mouth.
The sound was getting closer and closer. Li Hao rolled over with all his strength and threw the cloth out of his mouth.
At the same time, he shouted, "Dragon Flame Potion! Dragon Flame Potion!"
That's right, she didn't know the name of the snake woman, she only remembered the important name of Dragon Flame Potion.
Li Hao suddenly rolled out and started shouting, scaring several orcs. But the boss reacted quickly and rushed over and kicked Li Hao on the ground, kicking her back. The huge pain made Li Hao scream.
"You think we're still on the street? Here, you!" The boss raised his hand to teach this ungrateful girl a lesson and let her know what it means to be content.
At this moment, a voice interrupted his action.
"What's going on here? Hey, isn't this my guest?" It was the snake girl, Shalia, who came out with her slithering body. "What are you doing to my guest?"
The snake woman faced four orcs alone, holding a bag in her hand.
"Sir Shalia, we didn't know this was your guest. Sorry." The eldest brother reacted very quickly and pulled over the second brother who was about to say something.
The boss breathed a sigh of relief after they walked away.
"Brother, are we just going to give up the fat sheep we have got?" The third brother said dissatisfiedly. You know, if it succeeds this time, he will get the biggest share.
"Do you know who Sharia is? She's a powerful figure in Charleston. If we mess with her, we'll have no chance in the underworld." Although the boss felt sorry to let go of this fat sheep, if there was trouble behind the fat sheep, he would be glad that he stopped in time.
The four orcs left, leaving Li Hao sprawled on the ground in agony. Her throat was bitter, and the pain from the kick in her stomach made her speechless. Her head was spinning, and she could barely keep her eyes open. But through the blur, she forced herself to watch the orcs leave. Finally, the weight in her heart settled, and she closed her eyes.
"The miserable little one." Shalia looked at the unconscious Li Hao on the ground and thought of her shouting about the Dragon Flame Potion to lure her over. "The strong little one."
On the other side of the live broadcast room, the director also arrived, having been called over by Wang Bing. This sudden incident was completely different from the previous unexpected encounter with a fight between two parties.
When Director Luo came in, Li Hao just broke free from the cloth and screamed for help.
"Why is she shouting this? How can the potion help her?" Wang Bing didn't understand why Li Hao suddenly shouted this.
The phone was in Li Hao's pocket, so he couldn't see anything and could only rely on the sounds to judge the situation. Then he heard the sound of Li Hao desperately rolling.
Everyone held their breath. When Li Hao was kicked in the stomach by the hyena leader, the whole room was filled with dull sounds and the sound of broken bones, followed by Li Hao's screams of pain.
Lin Lan couldn't hold on any longer and burst into tears. "What should I do? Wuuwuwu, save her."
Just when everyone was in despair, a female voice rang out.
"It's that snake girl." Li Maoxue, who had been clenching his fists, was the first to recognize the voice.
What happened next finally made Lin Lan stop crying. The live broadcast did not stop, because Li Hao had completely lost consciousness and his phone was still on.
Shalia took Li Hao back to her residence. Looking at the seriously injured Li Hao, she directly took out a medicine bottle. Different from the dragon flame potion that Li Hao had bought before, this one was more compact and exquisite.
"My sage, I hope my current investment is correct." Li Hao watched as the wounds on her face immediately vanished after drinking the potion, and then her curled-up posture relaxed. The potion had repaired her internal organs and bones that had been kicked and bleeding.
Shalia was curious about how the girl before her could be her sage. If she truly had a connection, she wouldn't have been subjected to what she had just experienced. She was already injured like this, and her nemesis hadn't even stepped in yet. Could she have guessed wrongly, and she was actually just a little "princess" who had run away from home?
She was also looking forward to what kind of changes this sage would bring to her. Seeing Li Hao falling into a coma, Shalia's hand stopped on the other's pocket, which was glowing with a faint light.
