Chapter 436 Orc Market Survival Guide (7)
It seems that this is the little beast with glowing eyes. The rules clearly state that these little beasts carry evil magic. If you buy them, it will definitely bring bad luck.
They all felt extremely unlucky now. If they took it back slowly, who knew what terrible things would happen in this market.
Du Chong, with his tattered clothes on and a sullen face, shook his head, but he was still sensible enough not to show any displeasure to the orc who was setting up the stall. Instead, he said with great regret:
"I'm sorry, we already have little animals at home. If I buy more, they won't be happy when I get home."
The young orc was silent for a long moment, not sure if he believed it or not. He turned to look at Xia Yueke and said, "Beautiful female, what about you? I don't smell any pet scent on you. So, please don't use the same rhetoric again, okay?"
Xia Yueke felt that she was quite unlucky. If she had known earlier, she would have answered first. Now, this young orc obviously wanted to sell the little beast in his hand. Du Chong had just refused, but used such a ridiculous reason.
If they continued to refuse, they would definitely annoy the young orc. If he got angry and ordered these little beasts to hunt them down, they would be in big trouble.
Sweat was dripping down Xia Yueke's face.
The orc was still urging, his voice much harsher than before, "What? Isn't my little beast cute? Why are you still hesitating?"
The little beasts she had taken off Du Chong also looked over, their eyes glowing green. She was sure that if she said anything that would displease them, they would immediately rush up and tear her to pieces. And there were more than five or six little beasts.
There were dozens or even hundreds of them locked in cages behind them, which were made of vines. You could tell at a glance that they were not sturdy. It was estimated that these little animals would break them all with just a bite.
Xia Yueke swallowed and said slowly: "Your little beast is very cute, I... will buy one."
Du Chong looked at her in disbelief. "Xia Yueke, think carefully. How could you buy this thing and carry it with you? It will definitely bring you bad luck!"
Xia Yueke rolled her eyes. "Then what can you do? Didn't you use that excuse just now? I'm saying the same thing. These little beasts are about to rush over and tear me to pieces!"
Du Chong turned around awkwardly and stopped talking.
The young beastman beamed with joy, his eyes curved. "Very well, beautiful female, I will definitely pick out the most lively little beast for you! I guarantee it will be easy to raise."
Xia Yueke quickly stopped him, "Wait, since I'm the one who wants to raise it, of course I should choose it myself. I don't like what you choose!"
She had to pick the most wilted one, the one that might die after taking two steps. That way, there would be no bad luck. Even if there was, it would be small.
"Okay, the beautiful female is right, you choose. If you don't like the ones working outside, go pick the ones in the cage."
The young orc took the lead and walked towards his stall.
Xia Yueke followed the young beastman to the stall. The little beasts, as if sensing something, became restless and crowded around their cages, their green eyes fixed on her and their sharp, piercing cries urging her to make a choice.
Xia Yueke suppressed her fear and disgust as she looked back and forth among the little animals. She avoided the ones that jumped around and were full of energy, and only looked for the ones that were languid in the corners.
Finally, she found a little animal lying at the bottom of the cage, looking listless, with its eyes half-closed, its fur sparse, and it looked sick.
She stretched out her hand and was about to point at it, when suddenly, a originally quiet little animal seemed to be triggered. It pounced on the edge of the cage, grasped the vines tightly with its claws, bared its teeth at her, and made a "hissing" sound from its mouth, scaring her so much that she quickly retracted her hand.
The young orc watched from the side with a strange smile on his face, "What's wrong? These are the most lively ones, how great."
Xia Yueke shook her head and said calmly, "I like quiet ones. I can't take care of those who are too lively."
After saying that, she mustered up her courage, reached out to the wilted little beast again, and grabbed it.
The little beast struggled feebly in her hand for a few times before becoming motionless. Xia Yueke breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this wouldn't cause too much trouble.
But just as she was about to pay, the little beast suddenly raised its head, and a strange light flashed in its originally dim eyes, and then it opened its mouth and bit her finger.
Xia Yueke cried out in pain and subconsciously let go of her hand. The little animal whooshed back into the cage.
At this time, the cries of the small animals around her became sharper, as if they were laughing at her embarrassment. The small animals in the cage also began to bang the cage frantically, and the vine cage, which was not strong to begin with, was shaking.
Xia Yueke was speechless. These furry little beasts were so abominable! Should they follow her or not? She chose one and they didn't want to follow her!
Xia Yueke took a deep breath and said to the young orc, "Find me the least active one and tie it up. Look, if I let go, it'll bite me and run away. How am I supposed to keep it? How can you run a business? You won't be responsible if it bites a customer?"
The young orc was stunned by what he said, and said melancholy for a long time, "Okay."
Then he randomly grabbed a small, long-haired animal from the cage and tied it up with a rope without any hesitation.
The furry little animal was very quiet and obedient in his hands, and looked very well behaved, completely different from when Xia Yueke held it in his hands.
Xia Yueke took the rope, paused, and then threw it on the ground as if nothing had happened, and took one end of the rope in his hand.
The rope belonged to a young and thin man. It was not made of vines. I don’t know what kind of silk it was made of, but it was very strong and the little beast couldn’t break free.
"Go away! If you don't leave, I'll beat you!"
Xia Yueke now had no patience at all. She felt extremely angry and wanted to teach these furry little beasts a lesson.
The hairy little beast moved to the ground and began to struggle fiercely, but couldn't break free, and glared at Xia Yueke.
Xia Yue didn't care and deliberately held it in the air, letting it flutter around. It couldn't break free from the rope anyway.
Knowing that carrying this thing would bring a lot of bad luck, Xia Yueke thought it would be better to get rid of it as soon as possible. If he couldn't get rid of it, he would just kill it.
She thought of the fountain and decided to drown the little beast.
But this time with this little beast, she may not be so lucky, and she has to make preparations for both situations.
Thinking of this, Xia Yueke called Du Chong over and said, "You also contributed half to my buying this little beast, so we must work together to kill it so that we can leave this market safely!"
Du Chong was puzzled, "What are you going to do?"
Xia Yueke raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Let's go back to the fountain. If I see red water, I will immediately give the little beast to you, and then you will drown it immediately. If we can't kill it, we can use the things in here to restrain it!"
