"I was being chased by the Zerg orcs and fled into the forest."
As Haji spoke, a trace of sorrow flashed across his face.
"My tribe was wiped out by the Zerg tribe. The ferocious Zerg orcs wanted to exterminate us. I escaped to the forest and survived..."
"Zerg?" Su Tang asked in confusion. Orcs have such a race?
I've never heard of this before.
Su Jianyuan and the other orcs also looked at Haji.
They were in such a rush to get back that they were only focused on bringing Haji and the game back that they didn't have time to ask any of these questions!
Haji nodded, a look of resentment on his face.
“Yes! Every windy season, the Zerg begin their slaughter, conquering the territories of other tribes to survive. My tribe has already been taken over by the Zerg, I have no tribe anymore…”
By the end, his eyes were red and misty.
Among a group of burly men, this handsome young man looked particularly pitiful.
The beasts also felt sorry for them, but they had no say and could only watch from the sidelines.
In the ancient continent, everyone was preoccupied with their own survival. Who had time to pity others?
They might be the next ones to suffer the loss of their homes and the death of their animals.
After listening, Su Jianyuan clicked his tongue and shook his head, "So pathetic!"
Haji, who had just filled his eyes with tears, ready to elicit sympathy, was speechless.
They're not playing by the rules!
Hearing how pitiful he was, shouldn't they invite me to join their tribe immediately?
"Where is your tribe located?" Su Tang asked after hearing this.
Seeing that Su Tang was the only female present, Haji immediately shifted his focus to her.
Females are more compassionate than males. Since I'm in such a miserable state, she'll definitely take pity on me and take me in.
He might even be able to take the opportunity to stay close to a female.
“Our tribe is in the south. If we go further south, we’ll be close to the sea. The Zerg came from the direction of the sea,” Haji replied.
Upon hearing that they were approaching the sea, Su Tang immediately understood.
It seems the Zerg orcs are seizing territory because the windy season has arrived.
After Haji finished speaking, he suddenly clutched his arm, staggered two steps, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Thank you for saving me. I was seriously injured while escaping. Could you please let me recuperate in this area for the time being?"
He raised his head, his face pale, and asked weakly.
After saying that, as if worried that his request was too unreasonable, he immediately added, "I won't stay here for nothing. Once my injuries heal, I can help you with chores and hunt for you to thank you for saving my life."
His long hair obscured his eyes, but a sly glint flashed within them.
Since she's already put it this way, she probably wouldn't feel comfortable actually doing the work herself!
He's a master at manipulating soft-hearted females.
“Okay, remember to hand over the prey once you’re healed. You can owe it to me for now.” Su Tang nodded readily.
Of course she wouldn't stand by and watch someone die!
This male looks a bit thin, but he can still be considered a laborer.
Haji: "???"
He was just being polite; did she really intend to take her prey?
Before Haji could speak, Su Tang continued:
"But let me make this clear first, you'll have to take care of your own food and lodging. The orcs here don't eat for free."
"I……"
"Oh, by the way, the reward my brother gave you for saving you today can be considered as food for two days. You can owe him that for now, and we'll pay you back together later."
Haji stared in disbelief at the female before him.
There are even things like this?
"What's wrong? Is there something else?" Su Tang asked when he didn't speak.
"N-nothing..."
Su Tang called over a male, "Take him to the foot of the mountain and let him choose a place to dig a cave and settle down."
Haji reluctantly followed the male.
"Don't worry, you're absolutely safe here," Su Tang said to Haji.
Haji almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
I had to bite my tongue to keep myself in check.
Anyway, we've managed to stay, and as long as we're here, half the mission is complete!
When Su Guodong heard that Su Jianyuan had picked up an orc, he also came over to join in the fun.
Upon seeing Haji, she immediately frowned. "So thin? How can he do any work? He looks sickly. I hope he doesn't die before he even gets to work..."
Haji, who hadn't gone far, heard these words full of disdain and almost choked on his own blood.
"puff!"
She rolled her eyes and fainted from anger.
Su Guodong shook his head and clicked his tongue, "I told you this kid wouldn't do. He gets dizzy after just a few steps. He'll definitely be even worse at work in the future."
He's not even as good as that brat Hu Shen!
When the orcs saw that Haji had fainted, they grabbed his legs, carried him on their shoulders, and took him to the foot of the mountain.
Su Jianyuan scratched his head, looking somewhat confused. "That shouldn't be the case. He was fine when he came back. His injuries shouldn't be this serious."
This confusion didn't last long before it was dispelled by the orcs' joy.
Everyone began cutting up the game they had brought back.
Because the prey was too big, even with seven people working together, it would take half a day to divide it all.
Su Jianyuan called over ten more orcs to help. The dozen orcs worked together, standing on the giant boar and cutting it, like ants climbing onto a giant's shoulder.
The scene was magnificent!
Hu Shen was among them.
Other orcs would need to use all their strength to cut open the boar's hide.
But he simply transformed his right hand into a beast claw, casually slashing across it, and the wild boar's hide peeled off as easily as skinning a human.
Several flashes of light streaked across the sharp claws, and the firm pieces of wild boar meat were neatly sliced off one by one without any effort.
