The originally dark face turned waxy yellow after being washed, the skin was dry and shriveled, as thin as a bamboo pole, and his hands were covered with frostbite. He looked even worse than when Hu Jiaojiao first saw the cubs.
He caught a cold and spoke with a strong nasal tone.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't want to expose the medicine in this space, so she secretly put the medicine into the water for him to drink. Fortunately, orcs have strong self-healing abilities, so even without taking medicine, his injuries would heal soon as he took good care of himself.
"Drink it quickly. After you drink it, I have something for you to do." Hu Jiaojiao smiled slightly.
Xie Man frowned and was about to stop the little beast slave, but he had already raised his head and swallowed the food.
"… "
The little beast slave's shriveled face wrinkled together, looking so miserable.
Is he sick? Even the water he drinks tastes bitter.
But thinking that this was the water that Fox Jiaojiao kindly gave her, the little beast slave didn't dare to leave a drop and drank it all.
You may not be able to drink it again if you want to in the future, so don’t waste it.
"Done?"
"Yeah!" The little beast slave nodded shyly.
"Go out and help me tell the orcs outside that I need hot water for a bath. Ask them to boil it now."
Hu Jiaojiao took the empty bowl back and spoke to him gently.
"I'll go right away." The little beast slave ran to the door in high spirits, as if carrying a heavy burden.
The sound of conversation between the little beast slave and the Canglang orc was heard outside the door. Soon, the footsteps faded away. The Canglang orc at the door must have left.
Only then did Hu Jiaojiao turn her gaze to Xie Man.
"May I have your name?"
"Xie Man."
Xie Man looked at him and answered him neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Xie
Hu Jiaojiao was a little curious. She had never heard of this surname before and didn't know what kind of animal he was.
"Where does the witch doctor live?" She sat back on the stone bench behind the brazier and asked in a low voice.
"Go east, there is a black house guarded by a gray wolf on the edge of the cliff. The witch doctor lives there." Xie Man answered with a stern face.
The eastern cliff
It seems that Lang Shuo keeps a very close watch on this witch doctor and doesn't even allow her to live with other females. I'm afraid he forced the witch doctor to stay.
No wonder the witch doctor helped her hide it yesterday.
So, the chances of her kidnapping the witch doctor are even greater
As Hu Jiaojiao was thinking, she heard Xie Man ask in a cold voice:
"Why are you asking about the witch doctor's residence? If you want to see a witch doctor, just ask these Gray Wolf orcs to call him for you."
There was doubt in Xieman's deep eyes.
He had seen this female before. He brought her back with the leader the day before yesterday. She followed behind the leader and seemed to be very important to him.
If she wanted to see the witch doctor, it was just a matter of words.
Why bother to ask him
"Of course I want to see the witch doctor alone." Hu Jiaojiao smiled without hiding anything, her voice clear and gentle, "without the knowledge of the Gray Wolf leader and these Gray Wolf orcs."
Hearing this, Xie Man frowned: "What do you want to do?"
"I want you to help me see the witch doctor." Hu Jiaojiao said bluntly.
She had no helpers in this tribe. This beast slave seemed to be quite capable and was willing to come out to protect the little beast slave who had no blood relationship with him. This showed that he had good character and a sense of justice.
He has been with the Gray Wolf Orcs for a long time and must be much more familiar with the tribe than she is.
"No." Xie Man refused with a cold face without any hesitation.
"You clearly said before that I only needed to tell you where the witch doctor lives."
Now she changed her mind and asked him to help her see the witch doctor. How could he know if she would do anything bad? If she was exposed, he might bring disaster to the beast slaves.
"You are my beast slave now. You have no right to choose." Hu Jiaojiao had a gentle smile on her face and her calm voice seemed non-threatening.
"I won't help you." Xie Man's face turned cold, and he looked at Hu Jiaojiao coldly, "If you dare to play any tricks, I will tell the Canglang orcs what you said."
He was sure that her words could not be made public.
That's why he deliberately sent the little beast slave and the wolf orc away and talked to him alone in the room.
Trying to threaten him with this? No way.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled calmly, her eyes glancing at the chains on his hands and feet. Although the Canglang orc allowed them to come over, he did not open the chains.
I guess their movements were restricted by chains.
"What if I say I can help you untie the things on your body?"
Xie Man's expression froze, and he looked at Hu Jiaojiao with a sharp gaze.
Could she help him untangle this thing
"No way, you lied to me!"
Soon, Xie Man took a step back suspiciously, his face full of disbelief.
"This is a black stone made by the orcs of the Gray Wolf Tribe. Other tribes don't have it. You just arrived, and the leader won't even let you see it with the witch doctor. How can you possibly unlock it?"
When this black stone was being tempered, it was tailored to the bodies of each beast slave, so that it would fit perfectly with their hands and feet, unless this thing was melted.
But if that happens, their hands and feet will also be disabled.
Even the Gray Wolf Orcs might not be able to solve it, so how could she dare to make such a boast
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me." Hu Jiaojiao knew that Xie Man would not believe her easily, "Stretch out your hand, I will prove it to you."
Seeing that she looked serious and didn't seem like she was lying, Xieman looked solemn and hesitated for a moment, but finally stretched out his hands.
He was strong and healthy from years of working. When he stretched out his hand, the muscles in his arm tensed up, causing the iron chain on his wrist to make a clinking sound.
The expression on his face was as tense as all the muscles in his body, and he looked very serious.
A pair of sunken and deep animal eyes revealed a warning, as if saying: If you dare to lie to me, I will expose you now.
Hu Jiaojiao ignored his gaze, walked behind the animal skin package, rummaged around, and soon came out with a small electric saw.
It is more than enough for cutting iron.
She turned on the switch, and the sharp teeth began to rotate rapidly, making a buzzing sound.
Xie Man was startled and looked at the strange thing with caution.
"What is this? Why is it making sounds? It's moving!"
He had never seen anything so strange.
No.
Is this a beast
Otherwise, why is there both sound and movement
"You don't need to worry about what this thing is. You just need to know whether it can open the black stone on your body." Hu Jiaojiao chuckled and did not answer his question.
She had already learned from the Gray Wolf orcs yesterday that they called iron ore black stone.
Xie Man frowned, being on guard against the chainsaw, and his neck slightly tilted back was full of resistance.
But thinking of Hu Jiaojiao's words, he still reluctantly stretched out his hands and did not retract them.
The iron chain on Xieman's body was as thick as his wrist. Hu Jiaojiao took the electric saw, aimed it at the edge, and slowly cut it.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at the chainsaw without blinking.
Suddenly, the buzzing sound changed, and the chainsaw penetrated one centimeter in the blink of an eye. The originally indestructible black stone was cut open by this inconspicuous little thing.
