Time passed by, minute by minute... and I fell asleep...
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in, and Guo Xiaoxiao abruptly opened her eyes. She sat up and looked around the room; it was empty. "Damn, how long have I been asleep?"
In a subconscious reaction, he immediately located Randy and Arthur.
Guo Xiaoxiao stood up from the wooden chair and saw Randy kneeling on one side and Arthur kneeling on the other in the corner of the room.
They've performed very well so far, kneeling when asked, but it seems like it's already quite late.
Guo Xiaoxiao communicates with Mickelson.
"Mickson, how's it going on your end? Did you chase the people away? When are you coming back?"
Meanwhile, Mikkson and his large force had already driven away the orcs who had come looking for trouble.
In order to press their advantage, Mikson led his men in pursuit, trying to drive them further away from the cave.
To avoid being constantly bothered, the number of orcs migrating here gradually increased, and the orc groups were several times larger than those of the free tribes.
This was a dangerous sign, reminding him of his time on the northern continent.
The orcs, fleeing the insect plague, have flocked to the Forgotten Continent, leading to food shortages. They will then be forced to plunder resources again. Although Miksen doesn't want to see injustice occur, he will do it for the sake of his tribe.
After finally driving the person a considerable distance away, they were practically fleeing in disarray.
Mikson led the group back the way they came, but they encountered a sandstorm. They couldn't see the road, and the sand and dust were so sharp they stung their eyes.
Even when I opened my mouth, it was full of sand.
This made progress impossible, so Miksen ordered everyone to transform into their beast forms. Those who could fly should fly, and those who couldn't should run to a safe place on the ground to figure out what to do next. Fortunately, there was a large rock wall with many caves not far from them.
Migson led his orcs to hide in the cave. Fortunately, he hadn't brought over ten thousand people; some male orcs remained in the cave, otherwise, the cave wouldn't have been enough for them to hide in.
"I encountered a sandstorm. I'll come back once the sandstorm subsides. How are you doing over there? Did they cause you any trouble? Has the poison dissipated?"
Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at the scene of the two kneeling on the ground.
"I can handle the situation. Come back slowly. If the sandstorm is too strong, don't rush. Your safety is the priority."
Mickelson: "Hmm, I know. As for cooking, can you cook for Arthur and the others?"
Guo Xiaoxiao: "No problem, they've recovered from the poisoning, the effects of the drug have worn off, and they're all back to normal, so you don't need to worry about me at all."
Mickelson: "Xiaoxiao, wait for me!"
After the two ended the call,
Guo Xiaoxiao shifted her gaze back to the two kneeling on the ground. Sigh, when will the effects of the drug wear off? It's already evening.
It was impossible to get them to cook. Guo Xiaoxiao stood up and walked to a more central position. Where were the vines that Randy was tied up with?
Guo Xiaoxiao looked around to see where he had put the vines, wondering if he thought he had managed to break free. She noticed they were both kneeling on the ground, and she hadn't gotten up even though she was asleep; she figured he was already deeply reflecting on his actions.
Randy is alright. The binding vines are gone, it's okay, as long as he's calm.
"Stop kneeling, get up, everyone. Are your legs sore?"
The two obediently got up again, neither of them saying a word, and walked to Guo Xiaoxiao's side, their heads bowed like children who had done something wrong.
Guo Xiaoxiao felt she had been too harsh, hitting both of them and slapping them once each, making them kneel on the ground to reflect on their actions.
There was no other way; they kept causing trouble, driving her crazy. She had to resort to some extreme measures to control them.
Both of their handsome faces were currently filled with worry. Nandi didn't dare to look her in the eye, and Arthur's expression was also shifty as he secretly observed her, glancing at Guo Xiaoxiao before looking away again.
Did those two slaps really scare them both? Guo Xiaoxiao felt a pang of guilt seeing their expressions.
Lower your voice and speak calmly.
"I didn't hit you intentionally. It was so chaotic just now, with everyone hitting each other, which was really bad for unity."
“We’re a group, a family, so let’s not argue over trivial things. Also, I understand that you’re all poisoned and not thinking clearly, but I don’t want to hear you chattering in my ear anymore, understand?”
The two nodded simultaneously, indicating that they understood, but remained silent, awaiting her command.
Guo Xiaoxiao felt helpless; it seemed her words carried considerable weight in the minds of these two. She continued...
"Okay, it's alright. Everyone sit and rest for a while. I'll go prepare dinner. Be quiet and don't make a fuss."
Randy looked up at her, as if he wanted to ask something.
Arthur quickly pulled him away, telling him to shut up, and then said to Guo Xiaoxiao...
"good!"
"kindness!"
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Alright, that's right. You deserve praise. I'll make you something delicious tonight, just wait!"
Guo Xiaoxiao opened the door and went upstairs to make dinner. There was still meat, but no vegetables. Guo Xiaoxiao thought she would go to Amansa's room to borrow some wild vegetables.
A balanced diet requires both vegetables and meat; Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't handle eating only meat. They always included vegetables and fruit in every meal.
In the other females' rooms, it's different. The wild vegetables are usually wilted, and they'll only occasionally take a little out to eat, and it's never very fresh.
This is not the time to be picky. Letting Guo Xiaoxiao go out into the forest to pick the ingredients herself would be too much of a waste of time. Things are different now. In the past, when she cooked, her companions would bring the ingredients to Guo Xiaoxiao's cave, where they were stored within easy reach.
No, not now. Plus, the mainland has abundant resources, so there's no food storage. What we have is mostly dried meat, and even that's very little. Vegetables are nowhere to be found.
As Guo Xiaoxiao walked outside, she realized something was wrong. One by one, the beastmen started to surround her.
I'm puzzled. I've never seen this kind of commotion before. Is there something you want to tell her?
Most of the orcs had been taken away by Miksen; there were at least 3,000 here. Some of them hadn't surrounded her but were standing on the stone wall's railings, looking down at Guo Xiaoxiao with extremely strange expressions.
A mixture of surprise and disdain, a complex array of expressions, wove together a web that trapped Guo Xiaoxiao within.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Guo Xiaoxiao was surrounded by them and could only ask questions.
Do you know what Arthur and Randy did?
One of the orcs couldn't hold back any longer and jumped out to question her. Because Guo Xiaoxiao was a high shaman and a female, his tone wasn't particularly offensive.
While Guo Xiaoxiao was asleep, the two of them got into trouble, and more than one thing. Everyone gathered around wanting an explanation but didn't know how to start.
One orc asked the first question, and then others followed suit.
"Are Arthur and Randy out of their minds? They're randomly hitting people, and even females!"
