Chapter 260 The female sheep were also captured
After hearing the last sentence, Xia Yueke felt the hairs on his body stand up and a chill ran down his spine.
She knew in her heart that if the lizard orcs knew that the orcs who seriously injured their subordinates were actually their partners, she would definitely be doomed.
Fortunately, Lu Xiaokui was far away from her this time and probably didn't hear what she said. Otherwise, with her temper, she would definitely jump out at the first moment and report it to the lizard orcs. By then, she would be completely finished.
At the lizard orc's command, all the females were immediately and roughly driven to stand up and resume their journey towards the so-called sheep tribe.
During this long and arduous journey, Xia Yueke secretly smeared mud on her face whenever she had the chance. Day by day, her appearance changed dramatically.
His originally outstanding appearance has been greatly reduced. Now, even if he stands in the center of the crowd, he is inconspicuous and the kind that can be lost if thrown into a crowd.
I have to say that this method is indeed effective and has successfully put an end to the harassment from many stray beasts.
On the other hand, those females who are slightly prettier and more pretty have all been more or less molested and bullied by stray animals.
Xia Yueke even wanted to put a few big black moles on her face to make herself look more inconspicuous, but she was worried that it would be too deliberate and even the lizard orc boss would notice something was wrong, so she had to give up.
As she walked, Xia Yueke would occasionally feel a sharp gaze on her. She subconsciously followed the gaze and found herself being stared at by the lizard beastman several times.
Every time they looked at each other, she immediately forced a flattering smile, trying to hide her inner panic.
When the lizard beastman saw her timid appearance like a little loach, he didn't say anything. He just frowned in disgust and looked away, as if he was annoyed to look at her any longer.
Along the way, the wandering orcs hid during the day and came out at night, completely reversing their normal routine.
Initially, the females were hoping that their partners would appear and rescue them, but as time went by, their hopes gradually faded, the light in their eyes gradually dimmed, and they walked mechanically like zombies.
In this dull and depressing atmosphere, Lu Xiaokui always looked for opportunities to provoke Xia Yueke. One night, while taking a break, Lu Xiaokui walked over to Xia Yueke, deliberately raised his voice, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Hey, look at you now, you've made yourself so dirty, and you really think you can get away with it? I think you're just wasting your energy."
Xia Yueke snorted coldly and replied in a low voice:
"It's better than doing nothing and expecting others to save you. Besides, I'm doing this to protect myself, unlike some people who only hold me back."
Lu Xiaokui was so angry that her face turned red. Just as she was about to retort, she saw a stray orc not far away looking at her with dissatisfaction. She could only glare at Xia Yueke hatefully and turn away.
Later, the group of stray orcs who participated in the fierce battle rejoined the team. When the females heard that their partners had fought fiercely with these stray orcs, they all fell into worry about their partners' safety.
But they dared not cry out loud and could only suppress all the pain, boredom and fear deep in their hearts.
In just a few days, they all looked haggard and emaciated, as if their souls had been taken away.
The food that the wandering orcs provided to the females was merely wild fruits picked from the wild, which was watery and without even a trace of meat.
If a female refuses to eat, she will have to go hungry until the next time food is distributed, when she can have another taste.
As for drinking water, it was so poor that it was hopeless.
If they happened to encounter a stream on the way, the wandering orcs would let them drink enough; if not, they would have to endure the torture of thirst.
When it comes to food, Xia Yueke has no idea what to do. He can only eat half full every day to barely maintain his vital signs.
But when it came to drinking water, she would secretly use her abilities to condense a little ice, and either lick it a few times or wait for the ice to melt before taking a small sip.
In this scorching hot weather, Xia Yueke would meet the females he knew, and seeing their chapped lips and thirsty faces, he would feel sorry for them and secretly make some ice for them.
Shushan accidentally saw Xia Yueke displaying his abilities and hurried to report it to the lizard orc.
After spending some time together, Xia Yue often heard wandering orcs call the lizard orcs "Xigo".
When Xige learned about this, he was overjoyed:
"This female is not only beautiful, but also possesses animal strength. She's sure to be worth a lot of goodies! All of you, keep a close eye on her and don't let her get away. If you run out of water in the future, ask her to get some ice to quench your thirst!"
When Xia Yuke learned about this, he felt helpless and angry.
After not finding any water source for three or four days, she was used as a water-collecting tool by the wandering orcs and forced to make ice for them.
Each wandering orc asked for a palm-sized piece of ice, which greatly consumed Xia Yueke's abilities.
Every time after making ice for them, Xia Yueke was exhausted and needed to spend a lot of time resting before she could slowly recover her strength.
However, because of this, the attitude of the stray orcs towards her has changed slightly. They no longer beat and scold her and bully her as they did before.
Moreover, Xia Yueke felt that the faster he overdrew his abilities, the faster he recovered, and it seemed that he was on the verge of a breakthrough!
Once, during the daytime rest, the stray animals sat together and shared some dry food they had previously snatched.
Xia Yueke and other females were driven aside and could only watch helplessly.
At this time, a stray beast held a piece of dry meat, shook it in front of Xia Yueke, and said provocatively:
"Little female, do you want it? Make us some more ice, and maybe we'll reward you with a bite."
Xia Yueke suppressed the disgust in her heart and nodded silently.
Finally arriving at the destination, Xia Yueke, like other females, was driven to a place far away from the sheep tribe, where she stayed every day.
There are more than twenty stray orcs guarding around every day, and Xia Yue has not found any opportunity to escape.
Even when going to the toilet, there are two stray animals following to prevent anyone from escaping.
While Xia Yuke was waiting anxiously, two days later, twelve or thirteen female sheep were also captured.
When the female sheep were driven over, Lu Xiaokui began to stir again. She shouted at Xia Yueke:
"That's great! More people are suffering with us. Aren't you quite capable? Why don't you think of a way to rescue everyone?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuke slowly turned his head, his eyes shot towards Lu Xiaokui like a knife, and said in a cold voice:
"You think I don't want to? If it weren't for you, a fellow who is always more trouble than help, we wouldn't have ended up like this. If it weren't for your brother betraying us and leading to the attack of the stray orcs, how could we have fallen into such a desperate situation? And now you have the nerve to question me?"
Lu Xiaokui's face turned pale instantly. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, she was interrupted by Xia Yuke.
"Listen carefully, Lu Xiaokui, don't think I've been tolerating you because I'm afraid of you. I just don't want to argue with a fool like you at this critical moment. But if you dare to act rashly in front of me again and continue to provoke me, I will definitely not show mercy. There are too many accidents in this territory of wandering orcs. I don't mind letting you suffer a little in a deserted corner. Don't cry and beg me when the time comes."
After saying that, Xia Yuke glared at Lu Xiaokui fiercely, then turned around and ignored her.
Lu Xiaokui opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. She could only stand there, shaking with anger.
