Jungle Throne

dark.

Ever since Gao Zhige woke up, he found himself locked in this cellar-like place.There's just one tiny, couldn't-be-smaller air vent above the head.As long as Gao Zhige stood on tiptoe, he could reach out and touch the ventilation hole.But the same touch, and the familiar feeling of wood.In other words, the top was first sealed by neatly arranged logs, and then it was covered with a thick layer of soil to seal it.

Don't give the people inside a chance to escape at all.

During the day, I can barely see what's around from the light through the air vent, but at night, I can't see my fingers immediately.But with luck, she could see the moon outside through that blowhole.

Gao Zhige guessed that he was probably taken away from the forest, because the light was shining straight in through the air holes throughout the day, and if there were trees or other similar coverings nearby, then the light would be cast through the air holes for a period of time. It was supposed to be a shadow, but it wasn't.

There is only a pile of dead grass that can be used for sleeping, and a moldy animal hide.However, no matter how much Gao Zhige disliked this place, he could only rely on that animal skin to keep warm at night.

The hot fire season has passed long ago, and now the leaves are falling with a sense of coolness.

It was okay during the day, but at night, the warmth dissipated and the coolness came in. It was really cold in the cellar.Gao Zhige had no choice but to use the surrounding sand during the day to "wash" the animal skin bit by bit before barely covering his body.Although there is still a musty smell, it can be accepted psychologically.

Although she lived in a poor environment, her treatment was pretty good.Twice a day, on time, someone hangs freshly roasted meat, fresh fruits, and water from the top with canes.The food is put together on wooden boards, and the water is packed in the wood with the core hollowed out.When the food is delivered next time, the last water container will be taken away.

Gao Zhige stayed below for a few days, and the bruise on the back of her neck healed.In addition to not being free and having no light, everything else is fine.In the past few days, she has repeatedly thought about these questions - who knocked her out?And why shut her up here?And the claws on her neck seem to have been taken away, I don't know if it's the rules here or something, for example, taking away the decorations on the captives... something like that.

If this is the case, she doesn't know if she will be able to get her things back in the future.Although beast claws can be obtained here casually, they are a gift from her master, and they are also things she has been wearing since she passed through this world, and they have important commemorative significance.

Although she was imprisoned below, she intuitively felt that the other party did not mean to torture her, at least she did not mean to torture her. It can be seen from the food and drink offered to her every day that the meat given to her is the freshest part of the animal , the fruit is also fresh.Moreover, she also tried it out, and asked if the person above could give me an extra animal skin when the food was brought down. The reason was that it felt cold at night, and as a result, a bear skin was sent that night.

Later, when Gao Zhige asked to let her go out on the grounds that it was too stuffy down here and her breathing was difficult, she actually didn't hold out any hope. When she came, she didn't appear to be in a hurry, but it was expected.From this point of view, the other party mainly wanted to lock her up, at least for now.

Gao Zhige didn't feel that she was safe now, she always felt that the other party offered her so much food and drink, maybe they just regarded her as a sacrifice.When the time is up, she who has been raised strong may be sacrificed to heaven and earth.

Thinking about it this way, Gao Zhige felt that he couldn't procrastinate any longer. Who knew when he would be dragged out as a sacrifice?So at night, she tried to push the wooden door on the exit where the food came in, and that was the only exit that allowed one person to enter and exit.However, there seemed to be something heavy on the wooden door, such as a big rock or something, but she couldn't push it a little bit.She had no choice but to give up and go out directly, and instead looked for other ways to escape.

However, when she was going to dig a hole and she was almost done, in the blink of an eye, she had already been locked down for ten days.

On this day, food and water were delivered on time at the same time.Gao Zhige drank a few sips of water, washed his hands with the remaining water, gnawed the fruit, and left the hard core for digging, and finally started to eat the barbecue.Sometimes, if the other party offered roast meat with bones, she would dig the soil with the leftover bones.In short, use all the tools at your disposal.If things go well tonight, she will probably be able to dig into the ground.

That is, God bless her not to dig into a place where there are people...

After eating, drinking and praying, Gao Zhige swallowed nervously, then drilled into the hole with firm eyes, and began to dig the last distance.

However, after she managed to dig through, she just leaned out a bit, and when she looked up, she saw a lion staring closely at her with those glowing eyes.

The air seemed to stand still for a few seconds.The hairs all over Gao Zhige's body stood on end, he didn't dare to move at all, and he didn't dare to breathe.I was afraid that if I moved, the lion would pounce on me.One person and one lion stared at each other for a long time, until finally Gao Zhige felt that he was going to be stared cross-eyed.She couldn't hold on anymore, and tremblingly showed an ugly smile, and said hello to the lion:

"hello?"

"Roar……"

What responded to her was that the other party opened his mouth and yelled at her at close range.Gao Zhige accidentally threw the bone used for digging into the lion's mouth.Taking advantage of the other party's yelling and suddenly being choked, she flinched and fell back out of the hole, followed the passage she dug back to the original place where she was locked up, lay down silently on the straw mat and covered the bear skin, and the two Close your eyes and start to sleep.

well!Why do you think she was caught in the lion tribe?Except for the last time they cooperated with the lions in the lion tribe, she has never seen other lions?You won't miss her the first time you meet each other, right?What should we do?After living here for so long, she also knows that the lion tribe is a very powerful tribe, the overlord of the grassland, even if Meng Luo and the others can find it, they may not be able to rescue themselves, right?

Gao Zhige showed a loveless expression, even though she was taken out the next day, it was the first time after so many days in detention that she saw the outside world - blue sky, white clouds, grassland.But in the end, she changed to another place and locked it up.

But it seems that this time, she seems to be able to go out for activities - although when going out, she must wear a cane around her neck, and there must be a person (or lion?) behind her to pull her.But this is not a problem anymore. Although she will receive a lot of strange eyes when visiting the lion tribe, but fortunately no one will pay attention to it. After a few days, she figured out the structure and direction here.Of course, the most important thing is what the lion orc man in charge of (pulling) her told her.

This male lion orc is called Meng Shu, but because he is born with weak bones, and he has only been able to transform into a human form for three years. He is 19 years old this year and is still a minor orc. Stay with the clan and help out.It is said to be helpful, but most of the time I still listen to the gossip of the females in the tribe.

For the past half month, he has been in charge of supervising Gao Zhige, including delivering food to the other party, satisfying the other party's requests, and so on.He thought, if it wasn't for the task that the priest personally entrusted to him, he wouldn't treat a prisoner so wholeheartedly!In particular, this prisoner didn't even understand the most basic common sense, so he had to ask such a simple question, and he was the only one who was so unlucky that he happened to be brought back by the priest and was arrested to work.

Moreover, what puzzled him most was that the female was about to dig a hole and escape last night. Shouldn't it be locked up more tightly?But why did the priest release the other party in the end, and only let himself watch him not run away?Meng Shu wondered if this female had any relationship with the priest, or in other words, the other party was actually the priest's child, so the priest would take care of her like this?

The above thoughts come from a boring orc boy who spends his time in the tribe and listens to gossip all day—Meng Shu was shocked by his bold idea.

"Hey - where are you going again?" He looked helplessly at the female who was suspected to be the child of the priest and wanted to run away, and impatiently pulled the cane in his hand, but of course, it was useless.Although the other party is a captive, it is also a female!As an orc, he couldn't treat a female so roughly.

"Over there." Gao Zhige enthusiastically pointed in a direction that gave out a fierce shout.I heard from Meng Shu that it was a place for fighting.Because the lion tribe and the bull tribe are not on the same board, the two sides often fight.However, generally speaking, the captured bull orcs would not be killed, but would be captured like this and put into the arena to train the lion orcs in the tribe.

The shape of the arena is like a tiankeng smashed out by a meteorite. The bottom of the pit is wide and the slope is not small.Therefore, the people of the lion tribe were not worried that the bull orcs would run away.Because as early as when the opponent struggled to climb up, the rest of the lion orcs watching the battle had already circled directly above him to block the way.And on weekdays, people in the lion tribe would also make an appointment to compete in the arena, so there was no need to worry that the place would be abandoned if there were no cattle orc captives.

"Eh? What's going on today? Hurry up and hurry up!" Meng Shu became energetic as soon as he heard that there was excitement in the arena, and ran faster than Gao Zhige.In the end, Gao Zhige was forcibly pulled over by the opponent.

When being dragged away by the other party, Gao Zhige only had time to think that luckily this guy didn't pull the rattan around her neck, otherwise she might have been strangled to death before she arrived!
