Orc Predator

This is Phil's first time walking in the jungle. The fallen leaves under his feet are very thick, and it is easy to get stuck if he is not careful. The weeds and branches next to him had already hung his clothes into rags, which made him understand why the non-orc man in front wanted to wrap himself in vines. The most terrible thing is all kinds of colorful bugs and even snakes that come out from both sides from time to time. The non-orc stuffed him and the modified female with a sharpened wooden stick for self-defense. After screaming several times in a row, he finally learned to use this weapon to slam into the bug's body. The situation of the reformed female is also similar to his. They help each other from time to time in this kind of predicament, and the two get acquainted quickly.

The non-orcs first found a small puddle that was fairly clean and asked Phil to clean up the blood on his body, otherwise the smell of blood would easily attract wild animals, and then led them into the depths of the forest. It seems that considering their physical strength, the non-orcs did not take them too far, but took them to a small cave. Phil and the reformed female each found a clean place to sit down, watching the non-orcs busy around the cave for a long time, and finally moved a stone and messy vines to cover the cave entrance.

Phil watched him move with some unease, opened his mouth but made no sound.

"Stay inside and don't wander around, there are traps outside." The voice of the non-orc came to the ears of the two females through the gap between the stones, "I'm going hunting." After finishing speaking, Phil left without waiting for an answer. up.

Knowing that the two of them had no power to protect themselves, he didn't leave too far, just caught a few small animals around and went back. When he removed the stone at the entrance of the cave, he saw the weak and anxious appearance of the two females, and he felt a headache from the bottom of his heart. It was hard to imagine that he and them were the same kind of creatures.

"Light a fire," he said to the two females, throwing the twigs he had picked up on the ground, and he took out his dagger and began to dispose of the prey. Phil and the modified female glanced at each other, and at the same time took branches and stones and began to fiddle with them. However, the females who are accustomed to being pampered obviously did not do this kind of thing. It finally lit up before the non-orcs cleaned up the food. After a while, the aroma of barbecue wafted through the cave.

"I'm Phil, may I ask... what's your name?" Holding the food in his hand, Phil hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to ask the non-orc.

name? He froze for a moment, then shook his head: "No." Even his life is not his own, who cares what his name is, at most, he will be given a random code name when he has a mission.

"No? Then what do other people call you?" Phil was taken aback, and blurted out the question without thinking about it.

"Its number is 10753006." He pointed to the machete, "so number six is ​​me."

The reformed female who had been silent all this time suddenly looked up at him with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.

"How about calling you Six?" Phil smiled, feeling a little puzzled in his heart. Number six sounds like a number only for modified females, but his smell is obviously a natural female!

The non-orc didn't refute, picked up a piece of food and ate it, the name of this dispensable thing for him, it didn't matter what it was called, it was far from being full.

"Which district is Ah Liu from? How could he be alone in the forest?" Seeing that the other party was not angry, Phil boldly continued to ask.

"I live alone in the forest." Ah Liu replied succinctly, probably no one would believe the time traveler, so he simply omitted that part. As I ate and ate, my chest began to feel stuffy, and I felt a burning pain in the veins of my collarbone. This is the fourth time today. The attacks have become more and more frequent in recent days. It seems that I need to go to a safe place as soon as possible. District 68, It's been quite recently...

"Ah Liu?" Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Phil couldn't help calling out.

The other party still didn't respond.

It can't be that he was injured when he was hunting just now, after all, the other party is just a natural female. Thinking about it, Phil stepped forward and pushed the opponent with some worry. Although the strength of the female was not strong, he deliberately lightened his strength, but he didn't expect that Ah Liu's body fell directly on the ground with just a light touch. on the ground.

"Ah Liu!" Phil was so frightened that he quickly turned the opponent's body over, and without caring about anything, he tore off the vines wrapped around his body, and then carefully checked it from top to bottom. There was no sign of injury. . What could be the reason? Phil frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and went up to touch Ah Liu's forehead, which was slightly hot; then he lifted his eyelids and looked, under the dancing firelight, there was indeed this faint appearance on his eyeballs. A black pattern, unfortunately not noticeable. Phil breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he have the opportunity to look at the other party carefully. He has black hair, but unfortunately it looks like a chicken coop now, with many branches and leaves hanging on it; A type that can't be found in the crowd; he seems to be in good shape, with slender limbs, and the vines that were torn off in a hurry just now are still hanging on him... God, he won't hit me angrily after he wakes up, right? Phil watched and thought wildly.

Even if he fainted, the feeling of being stared at was very clear. As soon as he regained control of his body, Ah Liu immediately opened his eyes, facing the sight of the blonde female.

"Are you awake? Are you okay?" Phil asked. Ah Liu didn't want to answer at first, but seeing Phil's unusually serious expression, he nodded perfunctorily.

"Within ten days, you must immediately go to the tenth district to measure the magic power and prepare for the ceremony." Phil said, "Your current power is too unstable, and it will be very dangerous if you can't control it as soon as possible."

"Magic power?" Ah Liu asked when he heard the word he was interested in.

"After receiving the baptism of God's blessing, natural female non-orcs may awaken magic. Once awakened, they need the help of professionals to construct a magic power circuit, which is a so-called ritual." Phil explained, and then showed doubts again, "This should be something that should be done shortly after you were born. How could it be delayed until now?"

"The baptism of God's blessing?" Ah Liu recalled and asked, "The white pool?"

"It's the spring bestowed by God." Phil corrected.

"I only finished it a month ago." Ah Liu said indifferently, and Phil immediately looked at him with wide eyes in surprise. He pretended not to see it, and asked himself the question: "Is only the tenth district able to perform rituals?"

"Every district can, but the tenth district is the best, so most natural females will choose to go to the tenth district." Phil replied without hesitation, "And your situation is special, it is estimated that there is no second one in the whole continent." , it is safest to go to the tenth district."

The imprint on the collarbone had disappeared again, Ah Liu looked at his hand, lowered his eyes and did not speak again. The modified female was obviously exhausted, and she was already sleeping in a corner. Phil, who was also tired all day, started to yawn again and again after eating a full stomach. He moved to the fire and fell asleep after feeling warm enough.

The cave was quiet for a while, with only a pair of dark eyes accompanied by the flickering fire.
