Chapter 82: Captivity



Chapter 82: Captivity

The witch doctor's office is still very busy and crowded.

After a day of treatment by Wen Li yesterday, many females and cubs have recovered and returned home.

However, Wen Li's healing ability is limited and can only save a part of the people.

There were a lot of people, and many uninjured females came to help spontaneously, An Yuan was one of them.

Wen Li had seen her yesterday, but they were not on good terms now and neither of them said hello.

"Wen Li!"

Came the witch doctor's voice.

Wen Li hurried over and, under the witch doctor's instructions, treated an injured cub.

His right leg was broken by the broken rocks and lay limp on the ground.

The cub was quite brave and held back his tears, but his eyes were red.

"Let me help you with your treatment." Wen Li rubbed his head.

Next, use your powers.

After a short rest last night, Wen Li's supernatural power has recovered, and treating the cub's injuries is not a problem.

But after a while, the cub was cured.

He blinked his bright eyes in surprise and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Wen Li smiled and said, "Well, that's good."

The cub stood up, jumped, and turned around. He was overjoyed to find that his leg injury was really healed.

The witch doctor couldn't help but sigh, "Wen Li, your ability... no matter how many times I see it, it still feels magical."

It only takes a short while to heal a broken bone. Isn't that amazing?

"Much more reliable than Anyuan." A female next to him interrupted.

Wen Li and An Yuan are the only two females in the tribe with healing abilities, and both are now helping the witch doctor.

However, Anyuan's healing ability is not stable enough. Sometimes it can cure the disease, and sometimes it doesn't.

Everyone else saw this and talked about it behind his back.

Just before Wen Li treated the cub, An Yuan also tried it, but it didn't work.

The witch doctor then called Wen Li over.

The female watched back and forth and couldn't help but laugh.

"An Yuan is just so-so, Wen Li. If you ask me, she is not as good as you." The female said again.

Wen Li glanced at her and didn't respond.

She knew the female did it on purpose.

This female and An Yuan have never gotten along. The beastly husbands she found were particularly enthusiastic towards An Yuan, which made her even more unhappy with An Yuan.

"Hey, you can't say that." The witch doctor said, bringing water.

Although this is the truth, I can't be so direct in saying it. It would be bad if An Yuan heard it.

"Everyone is here to help, and no one is inferior to anyone else."

Wen Li said, "The witch doctor is right."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow fell in front of him.

"Witch doctor." An Yuan's cold voice sounded in front.

The three people in the cave looked up at the same time. The female glared at An Yuan rudely, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across the witch doctor's face.

Wen Li didn't say anything and there was no expression on her face, but An Yuan gave her a sidelong glance.

An Yuan probably heard what was said just now.

"I put the things here."

An Yuan dropped the medicine bag in his hand and left.

There was silence in the cave for a moment, and then the witch doctor's sigh was heard.

The female showed a triumphant smile on her face, and was very satisfied with An Yuan's anger at the moment.

"I'll go treat the others." Wen Li said softly.

She got up and went to other injured people, treating several of them one after another, and had almost used up all her supernatural powers.

Wen Li treated all the seriously injured patients, and the rest were patients with less serious injuries.

Wen Li’s next job is to boil medicine.

During this period, Wen Li and An Yuan met many times, but neither of them paid any attention to the other.

"Wen Li, come here." The witch doctor called Wen Li again.

Wen Li: "What's wrong?"

Witch Doctor: "It's time to eat."

Wen Li helps the witch doctor, who also provides her with meals, including lunch and dinner.

"I roasted meat today, and I saved the best part for you." The witch doctor said in a low voice.

Among so many people, he admires Wen Li the most.

He is capable and efficient at work. It would be great if I could recruit him as my apprentice.

Wen Li stopped what she was doing and nodded, "Okay."

After washing her hands, Wen Li started to eat lunch.

It was stewed broth. The witch doctor added a lot of salt to it, making it taste quite delicious.

Wen Li held the bowl and drank in small sips.

The witch doctor said, "After we finish eating, please help me get something."

Wen Li raised her eyes and swallowed the broth in her mouth, "What?"

"We don't have enough ginseng. Old Zhao and the others have a lot. They will send it over soon. Please help me get some. I can't leave here." said the witch doctor.

Wen Li glanced at the yard filled with injured people and said, "Okay."

In this situation, the witch doctor really can't leave.

The witch doctor patted her shoulder and said, "Eat. Come to me when you're done. I'll tell you about other things later."

The food here tastes average, but even though Wen Li came to the beast world, she was able to keep her appetite pampered.

She ate a few mouthfuls of food quickly, washed the wooden bowl, and went to find a witch doctor.

The witch doctor is still busy.

Seeing her coming over, he didn't stop his hand movements, and hastily pointed in a direction and said: "Wen Li, go find A Nuo, I'll ask him to take you there."

"good."

Wen Li turned around and went to find Arnold again.

Arnold was so busy that he finally had time to drink some water. When he saw Wen Li coming, he quickly put down the cup.

"Wen Li!"

"The witch doctor sent me to find you."

"Is it about the ginseng? I'm sorry, I should have been the one to take care of it." Arnold smiled apologetically.

"The agreed location is under the banyan tree in front of the tribe. They are almost here now. Wen Li, please help me."

"fine."

After determining the location, Wen Li walked towards her destination.

It's under the banyan tree in front of the tribe, not far from here. At this distance, there shouldn't be any danger.

Arnold watched Wen Li's back as she walked away, then picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

An Yuan came over at this time and asked, "What did you just say to Wen Li?"

After seeing An Yuan, Arnold smiled gently and said, "Nothing, let Wen Li go to meet Uncle Zhao and the others."

A dark light flashed in An Yuan's eyes.

"Where are you going?"

"It's under the banyan tree in front of the tribe."

The smile on An Yuan's face deepened, with a hint of weirdness.

"What's wrong?" Arnold asked puzzledly.

"Nothing, I'm just asking." An Yuan smiled and said, "Then I'll get busy first."

As soon as she turned around, Arnold grabbed her wrist.

"Arnold?"

Arnold gently stroked the hair on Anyuan's cheek and said softly, "Don't let yourself get too tired."

"good."

At the same time, Wen Li had already gone to the banyan tree.

The second earthquake came suddenly, catching the entire tribe off guard.

Although it was not too serious, it still caused a lot of trouble. Many families were busy cleaning up the damage caused by the earthquake.

Wen Li felt much more at ease seeing the people coming and going on the road.

There are many people in the tribe, so even though there is no beastman accompanying me, there is no need to worry about danger.

During this period, the number of stray animals near the tribe has decreased a lot because they have not been active much since the arrival of winter.

The incessant snow had ceased, and the thin layer of snow that fell on the ground was muddy when trampled.

Wen Li wrapped her winter clothes tightly around her and tucked her cheeks into the clothes to reduce the invasion of the cold wind.

"Banyan tree...Banyan tree..."

Following his memory, Wen Li finally arrived at the location the witch doctor mentioned - under the banyan tree at the intersection of the tribe.

Anyone from outside who wants to enter the tribe must pass by this banyan tree.

After Wen Li sat down, he found a corner to sit down and looked towards the main road.

I don’t know when Uncle Zhao and the others will come, and there is no fixed time, so Wen Li can only wait here.

Glancing around, Wen Li discovered that there were fewer people here.

Only a few males from the tribe walked by and greeted Wen Li when they saw her.

Wen Li suddenly felt a little uneasy.

She is located near the tribe, so nothing should happen, right?

Wen Li took a deep breath and suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

After waiting for a while, a system reminder suddenly sounded in Wen Li's mind.

【Host, the target person has been found.】

Wen Li was stunned. What target person?

The system retrieved her thoughts and explained:

【The target person who meets the requirements of the strategy. 】

"Where?" Wen Li asked.

"left."

Another target person appeared in the tribe? Since the system said so, it shouldn't be those beastly husbands of mine.

Wen Li looked curiously in the direction the system indicated.

I also saw the so-called target person of the system.

It almost blinded Wen Li's eyes.

This is too long...

"Are you sure?" Wen Li questioned the system.

Isn’t it said that orcs with S-level talents are the best among men, one in a million, and top-notch in every aspect?

The man not far away, just from the looks point of view, is already terrible!

Could it be that he is gifted in other aspects?

The system ignored Wen Li's question and just repeated:

[The opponent's talent is S-level, which meets the strategy standard. ]

Wen Li also became interested.

She was really curious as to why this guy met the criteria for a capture, given that he looked so... ordinary.

Well, it should be said that it is ordinary.

Compared to the former Wen Li, she can be considered ordinary and not that ugly.

Her eyes darted back and forth between the males not far away.

The male has long black hair and an extremely ordinary and featureless appearance. You can glance at him and forget him immediately after turning your head.

He was wearing a thick winter coat and was quite tall. I don't know if it was because of the coat or his body shape, but he looked very bloated.

Honestly, there's no charm at all.

It just so happened that this male had an S-level talent?

[Host, do you want a strategy? ]

The system's inquiry came.

Wen Li was silent and did not answer.

Wen Li doesn't accept everything, okay? She is a face control!

"Forget it." Wen Li muttered softly.

There are already five handsome beastly husbands in the family, and her taste has become very picky.

Even if the five of them were to separate from her in the future, Wen Li would want to find a handsome husband even if she had to find one.

She is in such a good condition now, why should she put herself in such a difficult position!

After looking the other person over, Wen Li withdrew his gaze.

There were only two people in the area at the moment, and the male had been staying there for some reason.

No one spoke.

Perhaps Wen Li's gaze was too direct, and the other party noticed it and looked over.

The male's eyes were scrutinizing and curious.

He seemed to be wondering why she was here.

But he just glanced at it and quickly looked away.

Wen Li lowered her eyes and thought seriously.

When the other person looked at her, she felt inexplicably familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

strangeness……

Footsteps were heard and the male turned and left.

Wen Li's gaze followed his back, then retracted after a moment.

She stood up and stamped her feet.

After sitting for too long, she began to feel cold. She now hoped that Uncle Zhao and the others would come over quickly. At least it was warmer at the witch doctor's place than here.

Wen Li took out her hands and blew gently, with visible anxiety on her porcelain-white face.

At this time, two more males came over.

Wen Li thought Uncle Zhao had come, but it wasn't actually him.

The people who came were just males in the tribe.

The two were rather shy, and when they saw Wen Li they didn't say hello and left in a hurry.

Only then did Wen Li realize that she was the only one left around here.

Although it was broad daylight, there were not many people around, and she felt a little scared being alone here.

Fortunately, she could hear people talking not far away, which made Wen Li feel a little relieved.

It’s good to have someone nearby. If she gets into danger, they can hear her call for help.

Wen Li waited patiently for a while.

The longer she waited, the more anxious she became. A sense of uneasiness drifted through her heart, growing stronger as time went by.

Could it be that something happened to them?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Wen Li smelled a wonderful scent in the air.

The smell is like a mixture of rotten aroma.

Wen Li's first reaction was to hold her breath and observe her surroundings.

I suddenly smelled this smell! ?

She took a few steps back and moved towards the tribe.

The next second, a hand touched his shoulder.

Wen Li was horrified, struggled hard to break free from the other person and turned back.

The person who appeared behind her was a strange male. Wen Li had never seen him before, and he was obviously not from the tribe.

The man was handsome, but the aura he exuded made people feel uncomfortable. He was staring at Wen Li with a smile.

"I've been paying attention to you for a long time." he said suddenly.

Wen Li was startled and finally realized the source of the discomfort.

Stray beast!

She decisively ran towards the tribe, shouting, "There's a stray—ugh!"

Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered.

His speed was not on the same level as Wen Li's, it was much, much faster.

The man's sinister voice fell into her ears, "You are quite perceptive. However, no one can help you. Just come with me."

The man laughed softly, put his arm around Wen Li's, and ran into the woods.

No matter how hard Wen Li struggled, she couldn't break free.

Wen Li was horrified.

Didn't they say the stray beast had already left?!

Why would this guy show up in the tribe, and even so blatantly at the entrance of the tribe! !

What's the difference between this and committing a crime and hanging around in front of the police station?

How dare he be so bold! ?

The stray animal was afraid that Wen Li would make more noise and attract other people's attention, so it stopped and stuffed something into her mouth.

Wen Li soon fainted.

At the same time, not long after Wen Li was abducted, the ordinary-looking man came to the banyan tree again.

He subconsciously glanced in the direction of Wen Li, but didn't see anyone, and frowned slightly.

Instead, I ran into Uncle Zhao and others who arrived late.
