"She went back? What about her? Take her back? Didn't we say we couldn't kidnap her?" Shiloh asked.
"Her people didn't come out to save her, perhaps because they didn't realize she was in danger, or perhaps because she was already the strongest in the tribe and no one else could save her."
Either way, our best option is to let her leave first.
Their hometown is here, so their place of seclusion might not be too far away.
"If they're willing to contact us, we can lure them over in the same way next time," Annie explained.
As she spoke, An Yi took out several meatballs wrapped in oil paper from her backpack, turned around, and threw them on the ground expressionlessly.
Before Hilo could block his eyes, An Yi turned his gaze back and picked up the strangely shaped purple longsword from the ground.
“After we walk a certain distance away, I will untie the ‘invisible hand’.”
"Let's slow down and speed up once we're out of her sight," Annie said.
Hilo: "Oh, oh."
All she knew was that An Yi was going to release the white-haired girl with cat ears and a cat tail; she was unaware of An Yi's deeper plans.
"She'll catch up soon after I let her go," Annie thought to herself.
Liu was left with only two options: return to the tribe or catch up with the two.
They say "curiosity killed the cat," so she must be quite curious about the two of them. I bet this cat-eared girl will follow them and observe them.
Shortly after An Yi stood up, Shiloh also stood up, gave her a cold glance, and then left with An Yi.
Before leaving, she asked An Yi, "Why did you suddenly give her a few whole meatballs again?"
Didn't we say we'd give her what she left over?"
An Yi: "We've all eaten and left, so what's left is just leftovers."
Moreover, how could she escape and notify her people if she didn't eat her fill?
Sohilo: "I see!"
After a brief Q session, Shiloh asked again;
"By the way, why was she always naked? Did you take her clothes off?"
N An: "On the other hand, I want to ask, why did I take her clothes off?"
Hilo: "Of course, it's about looking at her body. You men all like to do that, don't you?"
An Yi: "I don't dislike her, but she wasn't wearing any clothes from the moment she appeared."
Hilo asked in confusion, "Isn't she cold? And unlike the demon orcs we've seen, she doesn't have any fur..."
I mean, if she weren't wearing clothes, she'd definitely have lots of fur to keep warm!
An Yi simply replied, "Mm."
No need for so much explanation, I understand.
Hilo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that An Yi probably wouldn't overthink it.
After all, it's that Annie Karl!
And there didn't seem to be anything in her words that could be misunderstood?
After the two had moved a certain distance apart, the girl with animal ears suddenly felt her hands loosen and the invisible restraints disappeared.
With a "whoosh," her figure vanished from the spot, disappearing to who knows where.
She had been living in fear all night, and running away and hiding was her instinctive behavior.
She watched nervously from the shadows for a while, and only after confirming that the other party had not returned did she cautiously emerge from the forest and return to her previous position.
She squatted down, picked up a meatball wrapped in oil paper, and sniffed it.
Although I was worried about the poison, my saliva still involuntarily dripped from the corner of my mouth.
"Never mind!"
"Ow!"
The girl with animal ears ate half of the meatball and the oil paper in one bite.
"Well--!!"
too delicious!
Although the outer skin tasted strange, the meat inside was really delicious!!
She stuffed the remaining half of the meatball into her mouth as well.
The next moment, she suddenly felt her spirits lift, and she felt a hundred times more energetic. She wished she could go and scratch ten thousand goblins to death right now!
She couldn't help but jump twice on the spot, and found that her body felt much lighter, and the fatigue and weakness from before were completely swept away!
She had only eaten one meatball, yet she felt invincible!
And I'm not hungry at all anymore.
Although this wasn't a meatball created by Noel using her special abilities, the amount of stamina restored was still considerable for the beast-eared girl.
Without thinking too much, the animal-eared girl swallowed the remaining meatballs and filled her stomach.
She lay on the ground for a while, touching her belly, wondering if she should take a shower.
……No!
Is now the time to do that kind of thing?!
Thinking this, her figure transformed into a white shadow once more, rushing rapidly in the direction where An Yi and Xi Luo had left.
She wants to follow these two "earless people"!
The goblin disaster separated her from her people, and she stayed near her homeland every day, wondering if other members of her tribe would return.
But she waited day after day, and she didn't know how much time had passed.
She didn't know whether those two "earless tribesmen" were friend or foe, but she didn't want to wait here pointlessly any longer.
She wanted to continue observing the two "earless people".
If it's an enemy, she'll run away as fast as she can.
If they are not enemies, then ask them for help!
because……
There are still many beastmen being enslaved by goblins!
The Beast-eared Tribe are skilled hunters; their relatively small size combined with their agility allows them to easily capture magical beasts that goblins struggle to catch.
After all, goblins with high attributes are also large in size, making them easy prey to spot from a distance, and thus difficult to hunt wary monsters.
Therefore, the Goblin Empire enslaved a portion of the Beast-Eared Tribe, forcing them to hunt at the cost of their families' lives, so that the upper echelons of the Goblin Empire could obtain better food.
If the "earless race" is also a kind of beast race...
Perhaps we really can get their help to rescue our other kin?
So she chased after Annie and Shiloh.
Just a few minutes later, she saw the two figures moving in the shadows. They didn't notice her, so she followed them.
On the way, the girl with animal ears was a little puzzled as to why she could hardly smell the goblins, but she didn't think much of it, thinking that it would be better if the goblins weren't there.
However, not long after, she followed the two to the edge of the forest and finally got the answer—
Looking into the distance, she saw a city in ruins.
There, countless goblin corpses lay piled up.
She saw groups of "earless people" carrying corpses and throwing them into a deep, abyss-like ditch.
Thick black smoke billowed from the long ditch, and she could smell the burning goblins even from that distance.
“Pah.”
The girl with animal ears suddenly lost her balance and fell from the tree, landing heavily on the ground in a "big" shape, tears streaming down her face.
It wasn't because I fell and hurt myself, but because...
The Orcs are saved!
Chapter 5 Irene's Letter (4k)
[Sword Hero, join the chat group!]
Sword Hero: All heroes specializing in reconnaissance, please temporarily leave the forest area.
The Sword Hero and I found an unknown race we had never seen before in the goblin territory, and they followed us to the vicinity.
The enemy might be observing us from the shadows for a while, so we request that our reconnaissance heroes temporarily leave the forest and not alert them.
Just before the beast-eared girl entered the border area, An Yi returned to the chat group and posted the above message.
The reconnaissance heroes who were originally on guard outside were initially puzzled, but in the end they didn't think too much about it and quickly retreated back into the city.
Immediately afterwards, An Yi and Shilo left the forest and appeared in the sight of the heroes.
As for the "unknown race," the other heroes didn't discover it unless they made a special effort to observe.
The warriors didn't know the exact number of the enemy or their specific abilities, but the thought of being observed by them still gave them a little bit of pride.
Fourthly, all these goblin corpses are the result of their battle!
Of course, the pride was immediately followed by sadness, because he thought of the brave warriors who died in this battle.
As soon as Shiloh got back, she went to find Airo and the others.
Annie, on the other hand, headed deeper into the city to find Lycorina and tell her about the discovery of the beast-eared tribe.
However, on the half-ruined city wall, he spotted a figure that rarely appeared in the sunlight.
“?” An Yi landed on the city wall and looked at Miluko, who was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the wall.
She gazed silently down below, lost in thought.
An Yi: "Your resilience is very low. I think you'd better not jump."
Miluko: "I...I didn't mean to jump! I was just exercising."
