The sea and the sky are one color, the blue water gently laps the soft white sand, and many seagulls are circling in the air, making clear singing.

The sea breeze with a slight salty taste blows straight into people's stomachs.

Not far from the beach, orcs were bustling around, chatting and trading with the fair-skinned mermaids with long blue hair.

Muye, who was in the team, suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy and his eyelids twitched uneasily.

He couldn't help but frown deeply, wondering if something had happened in the tribe.

But before he could figure out what was going on, the merman in charge of the transaction, with his muscular chest exposed, shouted impatiently, "Next, the Jiyue Tribe."

"Hurry up!"

Because many tribes would travel thousands of miles to the sea to exchange for salt crystals before winter comes.

So you need to queue up according to the rules.

Over time, the mermaids gradually developed a sense of superiority and acted arrogantly towards the orcs on land.

Although the mermaids were domineering, the orcs could only be angry but not say anything because the salt crystals were too precious.

The tribe leader Hu Wei didn't care about the mermaid's attitude. He handed the animal skin bag containing the barbarian crystals and some prey to the mermaid, and asked the tribe members to pack up the salt crystals on the ground and carry them away.

After putting all the salt crystals into the animal leather bag, he said to the orc warriors in a deep voice: "Let's go."

"Winter is coming soon. We need to return to the tribe within a month. Maybe we can store more food when we return."

"It's the clan leader."

The orcs echoed in unison.

Carrying the precious salt crystals, he began to rush back.

Along the way, Muye was always absent-minded, always feeling that something bad seemed to have happened, and wanted to return to the tribe and to Hu Feifei as soon as possible.

I don’t know if the prey at home has been eaten or if she is okay…

The other orcs were also focused on getting on with their journey.

Regardless of whether they have a family or not, they all want to return to the tribe early to prepare more food for the winter so that they can safely spend this long and cold winter.

So they only ate one meal a day, and only took a short rest at night before getting up and continuing on their journey.

*

Waves of damp and cool air blew over her, and Hu Feifei frowned uncomfortably, being woken up by the cold.

When she opened her eyes, it was pitch black in front of her. The side effects of the powerful potion made her feel dizzy.

She raised her hand, rubbed her heavy head, slowly stood up, and called the system.

"Nuojiji, what's going on now?"

[Host, according to the system's observation, you are now in a cave far away from the tribe. Those stray beasts are all surrounded outside. The possibility of escape... is almost zero.]

As he spoke further, Nuojiji's voice became quieter and quieter.

Have you left the tribe?

Hu Feifei murmured in frustration.

After adapting to the dark light, she carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The cave is very large and it is pitch black deep inside. The stone walls are covered with moss and the air is filled with a damp, earthy smell.

The only light was at the cave entrance. She listened carefully and vaguely heard the sounds of the stray animals talking.

While no one was watching her, she immediately exchanged for a new dagger from the system mall and hid it in the mustard seed space in case of emergency.

At the same time, he slowly approached the cave entrance with light steps, intending to observe the situation outside first.

She slowly moved along the stone wall to the cave entrance, and when she was about to stick her head out, she was met with a pair of ice-blue eyes with a teasing look.

Suddenly, she was startled and stepped back suddenly.

Lan Xiu chuckled, "Little female, you're awake..."

He lowered his eyes and admired her frightened look, which looked as cute as a little rabbit.

It seems that she was pretending to be strong that night.

A female who was obviously afraid but was willing to risk everything for the tribe made him very curious about her.

Hu Feifei immediately put away the panic she had shown when she was suddenly attacked by the silver-haired orc, and returned to her previous calmness.

"What are you going to do with me?"

Lan Xiu did not answer her question directly, but asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you hungry?"

He knew that females were fragile, and she had been unconscious for a whole day and night, so she must need to eat immediately.

It would have been fine if he didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned it, Hu Feifei felt her stomach burning with anger. Seeing that he had no intention of doing anything to her at the moment, she nodded.

No matter what environment you are in, filling your stomach is a must.

Lan Xiu immediately gave orders to the stray animals outside, and soon a piece of bloody meat appeared in front of Hu Feifei.

Looking at the piece of meat that was still bleeding, Hu Feifei looked away in disgust, "I don't eat raw meat."

Then she went back into the cave.

The lustful looks of those stray animals that night made her feel creepy, and now she didn't want to go out and pollute her eyes.

Lan Xiu frowned at her picky eating.

But he still took out the flint, lit a fire in the cave, and squatted down, somewhat clumsily, to grill the meat.

The fire dispelled the cold and dampness in the cave and brought light.

Hu Feifei found a clean place, sat down with her back against the cold and hard stone wall, and looked up at the stray beast leader who had captured her.

The dim firelight gave him a layer of honey, making him look no longer as evil, cold-blooded and indifferent as he did on the rainy night.

His clumsy appearance even made him look a little funny.

But as her eyes moved upwards, she was stunned.

Black...black heart?

Could he also be one of the villains who destroyed the world? !

Before she could ask, a weak and soft voice was heard.

[Host, yes, he is one of the people we need to capture and influence...]

It was too dark that night, and it was worried about the safety of its host, so it did not see clearly the five black hearts on the villain's head that almost blended into the night.

Although Nuojiji did not remind her in time this time, Hu Feifei did not complain.

Because it makes no difference whether you say it earlier or later.

The black heart on the head of the stray beast villain in front of her was so thick that it looked like ink was almost dripping out, making her seriously doubt whether this beastman had completely turned evil.

She asked uneasily, "So, what is his current dark value?"

Nuojiji swallowed and told the truth with a sad face.

【Reply to the host, 99 percent. 】

Wow! 99% of the black value, if it goes up a little more, the system will crash and she will be declared a mission failure?

Then what's the point of her strategy?

Nuojiji cheered her up, "Host, don't be discouraged. You are not the kind of person who will lose without a fight."

[And he hasn't completely turned evil yet, has he? As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must keep working hard and try our best. Maybe the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle.]

I'm gonna fight your grandma!

Hu Feifei spread her hands, took a deep breath, and tried to keep herself calm.

Not angry, not angry...

Seeing her sizing him up, Lan Xiu raised his thin lips slightly. He really liked the feeling of her paying attention to him.

It's just that her expression was a little strange, sometimes frowning and sometimes sneering, which made him confused.

After a while, he shook the roasted meat in his hand towards Hu Feifei.

"What are you doing so far away from me?"

"The meat is ready. It's for you to eat."

He smiled slightly, waiting for her to approach him.
