Before Hu Jiaojiao could react, she was picked up and straightened like a sapling.
"Are you okay?"
A deep, mellow voice came from above my head.
"No, it's okay!" Hu Jiaojiao quickly shook her head and stepped back nervously. She had been single for more than 20 years and had never been in such close contact with a man.
The last time I had close contact with a man was when I accidentally knocked Long Mo down a few days ago... Ahem! It was a collision.
Long Mo glanced at the blood on his body, thinking that she disliked his dirtiness, or that she hated him. He lowered his cold eyes and said indifferently:
"It's time to go back."
"Oh! OK."
Hu Jiaojiao nodded, turned around and prepared to go back, but after taking just two steps, she suddenly stopped.
"Oh, wait a minute..."
Long Mo stood behind with a frown on his face, and saw Hu Jiaojiao lowering her head and groping for something on her body. She soon took out a piece of white animal skin.
Hu Jiaojiao took out a towel from the space, turned around and stood on tiptoe to help Long Mo wipe the blood off his face.
There were even beads of blood hanging on the eyelashes above the golden eyes, and the handsome and cold face seemed to be washed in blood. At first glance, it was like the Yama King who had just walked out of the underworld.
With such a handsome face, she really couldn't bear to see him look so dirty.
Long Mo froze.
Coming back to his senses, he raised his hand and pinched Hu Jiaojiao's wrist.
"I, I saw that your face was too dirty, so I wanted to help you wipe it off. Or you can wipe it yourself. It must be very uncomfortable to have blood all over your face, right?"
Hu Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly, thinking that Long Mo was resisting her approaching, so she hurriedly explained.
When Long Mo let go of her hand, she quickly stuffed the towel into his hand, then turned around and ran back to Hu Qinglu.
Long Mo held the towel in one hand, and before he could say anything, he saw Hu Jiaojiao running away, with the gentle touch still seeming to linger on her face.
Does she...care if he's feeling bad
The orcs all saw the wolves' help just now, so they acquiesced to Hu Jiaojiao's decision to let them go.
Ying Yuan and Long Wu entered the cave together, checked it out, and after making sure that there were no stray orcs left inside, they took the surviving orcs back to the tribe.
Orcs have no habit of collecting corpses.
They feed on wild animals, and their bodies become food for wild animals after they die.
Soon, wild beasts will come smelling the blood and eat the corpses here cleanly. In the near future, they will face a new round of hunting by orcs in the jungle, and this cycle will continue endlessly.
This is the food chain in the animal world.
When Long Mo came to his senses and walked back, he found that Hu Jiaojiao was already sitting on the back of the white fox. She paused in the movement of transforming into a beast and looked at the white fox with resentment in her eyes.
"Wow! Third brother, your beast form is so beautiful!"
It was the first time for Hu Jiaojiao to see Hu Qinglu’s animal form. She sat on the white fox’s back with a curious look on her face, and put her hands into the long fur, rubbing it. It was even more comfortable than petting a cat!
Hu Qinglu just thought that Hu Jiaojiao hadn't seen him for too long, and didn't notice anything wrong with her words. He proudly raised his pointed fox mouth and said in animal language:
"That's right! Your third brother's beast form is second only to that of your second brother!"
The tone was full of doting.
Among the four brothers in the family, only the second brother, Qinggao, is a red fox, the other three are white foxes.
"Third brother is amazing. Not only does he have a nice voice, but his beast form is also beautiful." Fox Jiaojiao smiled foolishly and buried her whole face in the fox fur. The soft touch made her feel like she was in the clouds.
Hu Qinglu and Hu Jiaojiao walked in the middle of the team.
The orc at the end of the team noticed that Long Mo was standing still and called out to him, "Long Mo? I'm leaving, why are you still standing there?"
Only then did Long Mo put on a cold face, transformed into a dragon, leaped into the air, and followed the team from a distance.
Long Mo, who never cared about his appearance, subconsciously looked at his dragon body.
It was pitch black and bare, with only hard dragon scales and no soft hair, and his eyes suddenly became even gloomier.
Judging from the female's appearance just now, she must like those hairy beasts very much, right
The lair of the wandering orcs was not nearby, and after another fierce battle, when the beasts returned to the tribe, the sun had already set.
The tribe leader, Lu Mian'er and others had been guarding outside the tribe. When they saw the team in the distance, they were ecstatic.
"They're back! Ying Yuan and the others are back!"
"Jiaojiao! My Jiaojiao is here too. Thank God, Jiaojiao is fine..."
Hu Min's family also came. All the orcs in the tribe learned the news that Hu Jiaojiao was leading the orcs to aid Ying Yuan, and almost all of them came here to wait.
A group of orcs stopped outside the tribe.
“Jiaojiao!”
As soon as Hu Jiaojiao jumped off the white fox's back, Hu Min rushed out and hugged her.
"My dear Jiaojiao, you scared me to death. As a female, why did you go to such a dangerous place? Don't do such dangerous things again in the future!"
When she learned that Hu Jiaojiao had gone to the lair of the wandering orcs, she almost fainted from fright.
Her Jiaojiao is so fragile. If something happens to her, how will she survive
Hu Jiaojiao patted Hu Min's back in a funny way and said in a tender voice, "Mom, I'm fine, right? Oh, by the way, I brought my third brother back safely!"
In order to avoid being "educated", Hu Jiaojiao decisively sold Hu Qinglu.
"Hu Qinglu!"
Hu Min looked behind Hu Jiaojiao in confusion, as if he had just discovered that Hu Qinglu was gone. He suddenly widened his eyes, stepped forward, grabbed the ears of the white fox hiding behind him, and cursed:
"You rebellious son, you actually went out secretly without telling me, you are so stubborn! Is that the place you should go?"
"Mother! Be gentle, mother, I know I was wrong..."
Hu Qinglu tilted his head and didn't have time to change into a human form. He begged for mercy while looking at Hu Jiaojiao with resentful eyes.
It seems to be saying: I agreed not to tell mom!
Behind him, Hu Qiang and his other brothers were pushed back by the clan leader and other orcs before they could come over, and they could only focus their fire on "attacking" Hu Qinglu.
Lu Mian'er threw herself into Ying Yuan's arms worriedly, "Ying Yuan, I was so worried, luckily you're okay..."
Ying Yuan also hugged Lu Mian'er, with a look of fear on his face.
He almost didn't come back...
Today, it was all thanks to that vicious female Hu Jiaojiao. Thinking of this, he looked at Hu Jiaojiao, and a strange color flashed across his deep eyes.
The clan leader also came over, and when he saw Hu Jiaojiao and the others returning safely, his eyes filled with tears.
"I'm sorry, Chief, I couldn't bring them all back. You can punish me however you want..."
Ying Yuan lowered his head and pleaded guilty to the clan leader.
The clan leader smiled and shook his head, "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"
This result is much better than being exterminated by wandering orcs.
After saying that, he looked at Hu Jiaojiao again.
"Chief." Hu Jiaojiao smiled slightly and called softly.
To her, the patriarch is an elder she respects.
"Hu Jiaojiao, this time it's all thanks to you. I, I'm really sorry for you..."
The clan leader opened his mouth but found it difficult to speak. Suddenly, he knelt down in front of Hu Jiaojiao.
