Chapter 177 is here!
On the morning of leaving, Zhou Manman deliberately sent the cat to a distant, deserted place and then opened the cage.
"Go now, we are leaving too. Don't steal other people's things anymore. And you can't just catch someone stealing." Tarasha was so angry that he wanted to kill him.
The cat in the cage looked around alertly, but without noticing any danger, it ran out quickly and disappeared in a short while.
Zhou Manman was a little surprised. "No wonder no one noticed it. It was so fast that there was even an afterimage."
"really."
Lin led the little female, "Let's go back too, we'll be leaving soon."
The team rested for several days. The orcs were idle all day and actually thought it would be nice to stay here. However, when they saw that there was no one around and no water source, they gave up the idea.
When Zhou Manman and the others returned, the team had already lined up neatly. This time, the witch doctor did not walk somewhere else, nor did he follow behind. He followed Zhou Manman, under the pretext of protecting his females.
There were not as many sick females in the tribe as before, and Zhu Zhong could handle it alone, so the tribe leader agreed.
They had nothing, so Lin transformed himself into a beast and let Manman and Xiaomi sit on it. As for the witch doctor, thinking that Lin would sit on his own beast form when he was tired, and that Xiaomi would be there for sure, he sat on it without hesitation.
A world was created where Lin was the only one injured.
Zhou Manman sat between the two of them, and always felt that there was a vague stagnant atmosphere in the air.
When Qing Lingyu and Xiao Mi wanted to put their arms around Zhou Manman's waist at the same time, their hands touched in the air, and then quickly moved away, and they looked at each other with disgust.
Alina, who was watching from the side, burst out laughing.
He waved to Zhou Manman and said, "Manman, do you want to come over with me? Yi's baby is also here with me."
Zhou Manman nodded repeatedly.
He quickly escaped from the tense atmosphere between the two of them.
Xiao Mi and Qing Lingyu looked at Anlina resentfully, then moved away from each other.
After walking for eight days, they entered the grassland. The weather gradually improved, and the temperature was very comfortable during the eleven days.
"We'll be there once we climb over the next mountain ahead."
Zhou Manman put his hand on his forehead and looked in the direction Tarasha pointed, and felt that the mountain was right in front of him.
I couldn't help but say, "So fast."
When I think about the future, my heart suddenly becomes filled with a sense of uncertainty and joy.
However, he did not expect that the mountain seemed to be just in front of him, but it took him more than ten days to climb halfway up the mountain. Xiaomi's legs have gotten much better. Every time Zhou Manman saw Xiaomi's legs growing downwards, she felt very uncomfortable. Their legs were so long that they reached the calves, which looked extremely weird.
But Xiao Mi was very satisfied with the recovery speed.
Relying on his recovered strength, he began to act arrogantly again.
Zhou Manman was often annoyed by his anger.
A few days later, Zhou Manman was still a little confused as he looked at the top of the mountain that seemed to be just around the corner. There were rows of orcs standing there, but they were very quiet. He was worried that it was a bad scene. Zhou Manman looked at Anlina who was a little dazed and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Anlina? Has there been a disaster here too?"
Anlina shook her head when she heard that.
He stretched out his hand to Zhou Manman and said, "Come up and see Manman."
As he spoke, his voice became more excited, "What a nice house, what a big river, come up and see it!"
Zhou Manman took Anlina's hand and stepped onto the flat ground on the top of the mountain. The scene below was immediately visible.
Below, there were orcs squatting by the river washing animal hides, and orc cubs were chasing and playing. Looking over there, there was a long winding river. No one knew where it flowed, but orcs lived wherever it passed. Even further away, Zhou Manman could see fields shining with golden color.
Is this... really the same world where he lived before?
Before she could even think about it, Zhou Manman knew that this was not the same world.
Because the orcs below discovered them, they gathered in large groups. Some of the males had transformed into beasts and were staring at them with hostility.
There was a flat area on the top of the mountain. The patriarch quickly asked everyone to rest there first, and then he went down to negotiate in person.
They walked for a long time. Although Zhou Manman and the others didn't have to walk, they didn't know why they felt it was not as comfortable as resting on flat ground. Speaking of resting, Zhou Manman spread out the animal skin and lay on it with Anlina, not wanting to move.
The weather is so good.
Zhou Manman felt a strange sense of happiness in the weirdness.
It is true that happiness requires comparison.
If it were in the past, she would have been crazy to think that such a backward primitive tribe could be happy. After all, none of their food, clothing, housing and transportation could meet the requirements of a modern person. But after such an escape, their bottom line had long been dropped to an unknown level.
"Eh!"
"what happened?"
Zhou Manman followed Anlina's line of sight and saw lush green grass and unknown small flowers in the woods below. They were colorful and beautiful. It seemed as if they had suddenly entered the spring when everything revived from the autumn with loess all over the sky. Such a scene was indeed worth sighing. Zhou Manman was about to speak when he heard Anlina hesitantly say:
"I just seemed to see a dark shadow flash by."
"what?"
Zhou Manman looked carefully and found nothing. "Are you dazzled?"
Anlina was a little suspicious. She turned to the other side and muttered, "Maybe. Ever since my things were stolen, I've felt weird. I'm very alert at the slightest sign of trouble."
"It's either an illusion or someone is there."
Xiao Mi's voice was stern and cold, and his eyes swept the area below him inch by inch.
Zhou Manman's heart tightened.
Xiao Mi glanced at Lin and Qing Lingyu, asked them to guard Manman, and ran quickly in one direction.
Xiao Mi's body hadn't fully recovered yet. Zhou Manman stood up and walked two steps with concern, then looked back at Lin and Qing Lingyu, "His leg hasn't healed yet!"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Qing Lingyu said as he walked over to her and pulled her back to sit down. He brushed the dirt off the soles of her feet and then put on her straw sandals.
The straw sandals are a little torn.
He raised his head and said, "I'll buy you a softer pair when we get there."
He learned from Jiao that this place was much more developed than where they were. The orcs here were more caring towards females and had figured out a lot of things. By then, Manman should find one he liked. After working for the tribe for so long, it shouldn't be too much to ask for some wages.
Zhou Manman nodded blankly, and after a while her face turned red to the tips of her ears.
