Xie Man's face was full of disbelief.
This thing can really cut through black stone!
Just when Xie Man was expecting Hu Jiaojiao to cut the entire chain, Hu Jiaojiao suddenly stopped what she was doing, pulled out the chainsaw, turned off the switch, and then put it back in place.
It is actually put back into space.
Anyway, Xie Man didn't know where she came from or what she brought with her, so it would be okay to take out something from the space to fool him.
Xie Man's eyes followed Hu Jiaojiao all the time until the chainsaw disappeared, and then he came to his senses.
In a moment of distraction, he looked into Hu Jiaojiao's eyes, which were smiling but not smiling.
"Well, can you help me see the witch doctor now?"
Xie Man looked at Hu Jiaojiao with burning eyes and deep gaze. This time there was no longer a trace of doubt on his face.
"Okay, but I have one condition."
"you say."
"Give me this."
He wants to use this to rescue all the beast slaves. As long as there is no trouble from the black stone, they can escape from here.
No, they will not just escape. When they become strong enough in the future, they will definitely come back to take revenge.
As long as they have this thing, they will no longer be enslaved by the Gray Wolf Orcs!
Hu Jiaojiao shook her head, "No, I can't give you this."
She would not give away things in the space to others casually, especially something harmful. It would be bad if others used it against her.
Xie Man's face darkened, and he was about to refuse when he heard Hu Jiaojiao continue:
"But I can help you accomplish what you want, such as... unlocking the black stone shackles of all the beast slaves and leading you to escape from the Canglang Tribe."
"You want to leave here?" Xie Man looked surprised.
"No, it's about returning to my own tribe." Hu Jiaojiao smiled and corrected.
Xie Man looked at her seriously, with an inquiring look in his eyes, and did not answer immediately.
"Even if I give it to you, you won't be able to use it. It can even cut through black stone. If you accidentally lose control of the force, you may cut off their limbs directly. I won't be able to reconnect them for you."
Hu Jiaojiao kindly reminded.
After that, he changed the subject and extended an olive branch to him:
"However, if you can convince them to join my tribe, I can help you cut this thing up, and guarantee you a place to survive. Not only will you not be enslaved, but you will also have enough food next year."
Xie Man clenched his hands unconsciously and looked at her with complicated eyes.
He seemed to be testing the credibility of her words.
"Of course, you can also choose to take them to wander in the forest. With so many orcs, it's not difficult to build a tribe. But I don't think you will go without taking the females with you..."
"Without a warm place to stay, enough food, and no warm hides, you guys can handle it, but the females may not be able to survive this winter."
Hu Jiaojiao analyzed everything that Xie Man could and could not think of.
Xie Man’s expression became more and more solemn.
This female didn't give him any chance to choose!
The only option that minimizes risk and loss is to agree to her conditions.
"What if I don't agree? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the leader about this?" After a moment's silence, Xie Man asked with a serious face.
"It's okay to tell the leader. He has plans for me now, so he won't do anything to me even if he knows. As for you, I'm not sure."
Hu Jiaojiao chuckled softly, her expression unusually calm.
She could see that he held a high status among this group of beast slaves, and with him taking the lead, things would be much easier.
"Okay, I promise you." Xie Man frowned and answered in a strong voice. After a pause, he continued, "But I have to ask everyone's opinions."
In fact, with just one word from him, the beast slaves here would leave with him without hesitation.
However, he didn't want to say too much, lest the female think that they were easy to control and become more demanding in the future.
Joining a tribe is no small matter.
He had to be careful to avoid stepping into another "Canglang Tribe".
"Okay, I'll find a chance to get you out of the way later, and you go back and ask for their opinions." Hu Jiaojiao knew well that Xie Man was thinking something, but she didn't care.
Even a rabbit bites when it is cornered. You can't push people into a corner.
There are a large number of beast slaves here, and it will take time to stabilize people's hearts. She can't bring a group of troubles back.
"Beautiful sister, I brought the hot water back!" The voice of the little beast slave came from outside the door.
The expression on Xieman's face immediately returned to normal, and he stood in the corner with his hands hanging down.
The little beast slave came in from outside the door, staggering in with a stone bucket half a person's height in his arms. Behind him followed a few Gray Wolf orcs, carrying the same stone buckets and a large stone basin.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Fox Jiaojiao smiled at the little beast slave.
"You all go out, I'm going to take a shower." She waved her hand.
Looking at the rising steam in the room, Xie Man couldn't help but glance at Hu Jiaojiao's white jade-like neck. His eyes looked down, his ears felt hot, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.
The tip of my nose seemed to be lingering with the previous fragrance again.
Xie Man was puzzled. He had clearly replaced the hide given to him by the female, so how could he still smell the fragrance
"By the way, ask them to go back and help me find another beast slave. Two beast slaves are not enough." Hu Jiaojiao's voice interrupted Xie Man's reverie.
The Gray Wolf Orc nodded helplessly.
The chief had to worship her ancestors, so what else could they do? They could only obey her.
"You two, choose carefully and spend some time choosing. If I'm not satisfied, you have to send it back." Hu Jiaojiao said to Xie Man meaningfully.
"I understand." Xie Man lowered his eyelids, feeling a little embarrassed for a rare time, and quickly retreated.
…
"Cough... cough cough..."
In the silent mountain stream, a weak cough was heard, scaring away the crows on the nearby dead branches.
There were bursts of "crackling" sounds echoing.
A boy about eleven or twelve years old crawled out of the snow. His eyes gradually focused, and when he saw the dark mountain stream in front of him, he suddenly woke up and looked around in panic.
Soon, his eyes were fixed on a piece of animal skin exposed in the snow not far away.
The boy's face changed, he stumbled over, knelt in the snow, and dug out the little female buried in the snow.
He looked around, cleared the snow off a flat stone, and then carefully placed the little female on the stone.
“Ah…ah…”
He opened his mouth anxiously, making a short, hoarse sound, and reached his trembling hand under the little female's nose to probe.
And breathe!
His face lit up with joy, and he rubbed his hands together, then covered the little female's icy cheeks with his not-so-warm hands. He repeated this countless times before the eyelids on her pale little face finally moved.
