Orc Predator - Chapter 22
The sky has just turned white, and the morning fog in the forest has not yet dispersed.
For the orcs who have to enter the forest to hunt every day, this time is not too early. In the woods near the second district, many tall figures can be vaguely seen swaying in the forest, and there is also a slender figure among them . Ah Liu smeared grass juice to cover up his breath, walked around the periphery and chose a relatively secluded direction to move forward. With injuries on his body, it is obviously unwise to fight fiercely, so this time the target fell on some smaller and weaker beasts or cubs. Although they won’t make much money, they won’t increase the physical burden. Such beasts were rarely a target for orcs, so it didn’t take long for him to spot his prey—a small flock of brocade pheasants with their young. Its meat tasted like chicken, but tougher and less chewy, while the cub’s was fine. The hair on the body, especially on the tail, is bright and beautiful, and is very popular with females. He thought for a moment, followed the prey silently, and at the same time quietly cut off a few vines, and a small but strong net was formed in his hands while walking.
He aimed at the prey and threw out the net in his hand, which happened to cover a few pheasants. The mouth of the net was retracted and pulled, and most of the prey that chirped and screamed were cubs. The rest of the pheasants immediately ran away and disappeared. In the dense jungle.
The crowing of the chickens was very noisy, he frowned, and simply tied the beaks of several chickens with thin grass stalks, and finally calmed down.
He raised his eyes and glanced around, and there were light pink translucent wild fruits hanging on the trees not far ahead. He had seen this kind of fruit in the market before, and it was very valuable. However, as soon as he took two steps forward, the atmosphere in the woods changed slightly. Ah Liu’s pace slowed down, and his intuition told him that he had entered the territory of ferocious beasts. The pheasant in the bag couldn’t make a sound, but flapped its wings irritably and wanted to leave.
The hand holding the knife tightened, and he squatted down to hide himself in the grass. His eyes scanned through the green, and finally fixed on a few fruit trees lying on the black-brown beast leisurely on the ground. It looks between a lion and a Tibetan mastiff, with two long yellow tusks protruding from its mouth, which looks fierce and unusual. Although it was lying on the ground, it obviously sensed something with the keen intuition of a beast. Its ears kept spinning, and its body was slightly lifted from its paws, ready to jump up at any time.
It was a giant-toothed mastiff, Ah Liu narrowed his eyes. This kind of beast has an extremely ferocious personality. Although it is huge in size, it moves quickly. It is one of the high-ranking predators in the jungle.
The wounds on his body have not healed yet, and if ordinary orcs were in the same situation, they would almost choose to give up the fruit and avoid it. But Ah Liu tapped with the finger holding the scimitar, he stepped back from the mastiff’s territory, tied the vine net to the nearby tree, and grabbed a larger adult pheasant from the net , Pull out the beautiful feathers on it, break the wings of the pheasant, and then re-enter the mastiff’s territory with the pheasant.
Looking at the mastiff beast not far away, Ah Liu silently calculated the distance between himself and the beast, drew his knife and cut a long wound on the pheasant’s back, the blood of the chicken immediately flowed out, and the **** smell was overflowing. He unhooked the grass stalk from the pheasant’s beak and threw it straight out, hiding himself not far in the grass.
As soon as the pheasant hit the ground, it ran out of the territory with a chirp, instinctively wanting to stay away from the danger here. The strong smell of blood stimulated the mastiff as expected, and the beast got up from under the tree without hesitation and followed the smell to find the prey that dared to enter its territory. In terms of speed, the little bird that has lost the ability to fly is far from the opponent of the mastiff. It took only a few steps before it was pinned down by the huge beast. The mastiff looked around hesitantly, then at the pheasant under its paws, with vigilant eyes. However, after a few seconds of hesitation, it still lowered its head and swallowed the pheasant in one bite. At the same time, Ah Liu appeared behind it silently, mercilessly cutting off half of the beast’s thick neck with a scimitar swing.
The mastiff was suddenly hit hard, but it didn’t die immediately. It immediately turned around and wanted to crush the creature that was sneaking up on it. Ah Liu raised his leg and kicked its huge, precariously crumbling head hard. There was a crackling sound of bones breaking, and the neck broke completely. The black-brown beast finally fell down.
The smell of the mastiff on the site is still there, and no wild beasts dare to approach it for a short period of time, but the thick **** smell has dissipated. Ah Liu quickly climbed up the fruit tree like an ape, and quickly picked a bag full of overripe fruits. Then he pulled the stronger and thicker vines from the side to weave a simple rope to tie the mastiff on the side firmly, and pulled his prey out of the jungle. He was extremely vigilant, but the road was surprisingly calm, not a single beast was attracted by the smell of blood.
Until the figure of the non-orc re-entered the gathering place, a touch of silver quietly appeared on the edge of the forest. Cedric shook off the blood on his animalized left hand, and looked at Ah Liu with a smile. At his feet, there were several corpses of beasts lying impressively.
Some orcs in the market had already set up stalls and started selling their prey, but they couldn’t help but look up a few times when Ah Liu came, especially when they saw the giant-toothed mastiff behind him, they were all surprised. Ah Liu turned a blind eye to these gazes, and also found an open space, and laid out his prey in the same way.
There is no house for sale in the Augustine Continent. You only need to buy a piece of land and you can build a house on it according to your own wishes. Ah Liu probably figured it out. He made a lot of money in the arena before, plus the prey he got lucky today , probably enough to buy a small vacant lot. Unexpectedly, one day, I would be able to obtain a shelter like a normal person.
There was a slight softness on the face that had always been calm and calm.
Not long after, as the sun gradually rose, the morning fog finally dispersed completely, and the market became lively. The rare light pink fruit and the apparently dead mastiff attracted most people’s attention, plus the fact that the stalls were set up by beautiful non-beastmen, Ah Liu’s stall soon became the place with the most customers.
A shadow stopped above his head, and the breath was slightly familiar. Ah Liu raised his head, and a pair of silver-gray eyes under the light blue hair were looking at him.
Hall looked at the non-orc who was sitting calmly, and then at the giant-toothed mastiff, a complicated light flashed in his eyes. The mastiff’s body was neatly cut, and he had no doubt that the smooth cut surface was the masterpiece of the natural female in front of him, the scimitar. He picked up a pink fruit and took a closer look at it in the sunlight. It was a naxi fruit, which could only grow in the mastiff’s territory. Feeling a little strange in his heart, he put the fruit in his pocket and handed over a few coins.
The non-orc glanced at him indifferently, but did not answer, and his voice was slightly cold as always: “Thank you.”
Hall knew what he was talking about at the gate of the arena, pondered for a moment, put away the coins, put a small crystal stone next to the non-orcs, and said indifferently: “It counts as an apology.” Take it as an apology for offending him by speaking before.
Ah Liu was silent. The atmosphere was a little awkward, the orc hesitated, and was about to turn around and leave when he felt his clothes being pulled lightly. Hall lowered his head, and saw a little female with a bright smile holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, looking up at him expectantly.
“Buy a flower for your sweetheart? Sir?” asked the little female.
Hall’s face flushed quickly, and he could hardly maintain his usual indifference. He tried his best to say in his usual slightly cold voice, “No, I’m not—”
“Then give me a moon herb.” Another gentle voice interrupted Hall’s words. Cedric smiled and put a silver coin into the palm of the little female, and then took a pure white flower from the bouquet and handed it to him. Give it to Ah Liu.
Hall looked at the silver-haired orc who suddenly appeared from nowhere, snorted coldly, turned and left.
Six: “…”
