MTL - Orc Predator-~ ☆Chapter on the psychological quality of foodies
After running in the woods for a long time, the group stopped in a bush. Hal immediately changed back to the orc form. He took the injured man from Cedric and gently put it on the ground, and quickly tore off his clothes to help him bandage the wound. Cedric untied his water bottle silently and handed it over. A trace of gratitude flashed across Hal's face, and he thanked him in a low voice, ignoring the fact that he put the water into the unconscious mouth little by little.
"You stay and protect them, I'll go find some herbs." Cedric stood up and said to Ah Liu, the half-wisdom species is probably nearby, Ah Liu suddenly frowned and looked up at him, his lips moved slightly to say something , but Cedric shook his head at him, indicating that it was all right. The non-orc understood what he meant, swallowed the word "together" and nodded slightly at him. The orc showed a soft expression on his face, and stretched out his hand to rub Ah Liu's black hair, but it was opened again mercilessly. He smiled indifferently, turned and walked into the woods.
Ah Liu found a place to sit down, skillfully lit a fire, looked up at Hal who was taking care of his partner, and took half of the monster's corpse from behind. Because he ran away all the way, the blood inside was almost drained, so Ah Liu chopped off half of the head, then took out the internal organs, and then began to scrape off the scales on it.
"You... what are you going to do?" Hal, who was on the opposite side, raised his head when he heard the movement, and couldn't help asking when he saw his movements, although he probably guessed something in his heart. Speaking of which, this guy has really good physical strength. He was running so fast just now while carrying half a corpse by himself.
"I'm hungry." Ah Liu said without changing his expression, "You also need to replenish your energy."
"..." The orc on the opposite side was speechless for a moment. Well, although this is very correct, but... this is a half-wisdom species. With the scales removed and the head removed, it really looks like an orc! Although he is very hungry, he doesn't want to eat this food, it will have a psychological shadow! If it weren't for John's serious injury at this time, he was not in the mood, and he couldn't help but want to complain.
Ah Liu turned the corpse of the humanoid beast over and began to clean up the remaining scales. Suddenly a black figure emerged from the woods without a sound, and Halton was tense for a while, but the non-orc remained motionless, as if he hadn't noticed it at all.
The black figure approached, and the fire light slightly illuminated his silver hair. It was Cedric.
"..." The orc with the herbs in his hand couldn't help but pause when he saw the things in Ah Liu's hands, and the corners of his mouth twitched. The expression on his face finally returned to normal. He handed the herbal medicine to the opposite orc and sat down beside the fire. Watching the orcs busy for a while, Cedric hesitated, took out a few wild fruits from his clothes and handed them to Ah Liu: "You...do you need seasoning?"
The hands of the orc who was grinding the herbs couldn't help but move his body a little far away. He applied all the ground herbs to John's wound, without even looking at the wound on his leg.
"Thank you." Ah Liu said as he took the wild fruit, squeezed out the juice and smeared it on the monster, stuffed the remaining pulp into its stomach, then cut it into several parts with a machete, found a few branches and put them on the fire it is good.
Watching this scene, the two orcs nearby swallowed their saliva at the same time. Of course, it was not because they wanted to eat this food, but because the current scene looked... It was like dismembering a human body and roasting it on the fire!
The two looked at each other, and both felt that they had really opened their eyes today.
Ah Liu didn't care about their strange gazes, and concentrated on playing with his food. After a while, the aroma of barbecue gradually came out, with a hint of fruity sweetness. Ah Liu carefully looked at the surface of the food, stretched out his hand and snapped off one of the monster's fingers, put it in his mouth and took a bite, then nodded, then stretched out his hand and snapped off one of the monster's arms with a few clicks One leg was thrown into the hands of the two stunned orcs.
"It tastes good." Ah Liu said lightly, tearing off a piece of meat from the monster and stuffing it into his mouth.
Cedric watched Ah Liu's movements from the side, and felt that his arms and legs were aching, as if it was his own body that was broken. Reflexively catching the whole arm thrown by the non-orc, he took a deep breath, and bit it down as if generously. After all, this is the food made by his sweetheart himself. Even if it is highly poisonous, he still has to eat it with tears in his eyes!
Hal looked at Cedric's expression and movements, and then at his injured partner lying next to him. Yes, recovery of physical strength is the top priority. As for this thing... no matter how much it looks like an orc, it is only a half-wisdom species. He closed his eyes. The eyes were also bitten off.
…the taste was alright and the meat was al dente. The two orcs were thinking in their hearts, and when they looked up and saw the scene of the non-orcs holding the remaining barbecued meat and eating quickly, their movements suddenly paused again, and a strange thought came to their minds: If the orcs were cooked, wouldn't it really taste like this? ...The two of them suddenly felt nauseated, and neither swallowed nor vomited the food in their mouths.
Ah Liu silently ate the rest of the barbecue meat for a long time, and saw the expressions of the two orcs inadvertently, and couldn't help feeling slightly puzzled in his heart, could it really be so unpalatable?
"Uh..." There was a low voice, although the voice was subtle, it was transmitted to the ears of the three people present very clearly. Hal threw down the barbecue in his hand and rushed to the side of the man who finally woke up, calling softly, "John? John, what are you doing?"
"Ha...er...?" John said very weakly, tried to open his eyes and looked at the orc in front of him, and forced the corners of his mouth to show a smile: "I'm fine."
"Drink some water?" Hal said, handing the water bottle to John's mouth. After barely drinking a little, he began to cough violently, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.
"He's very weak now, let him rest." Cedric said, Hal nodded, and helped John to lie down slowly. He picked up the barbecue again and chewed, his eyes still glued to John, full of anxiety and worry, completely ignoring the shape and taste of the food in his mouth that made him unable to swallow before.
"Where did you meet the half-wisdom species?" Cedric asked suddenly, his brows were frowned, as if he had thought of something bad.
"It's about...near the fourth district." Hal thought for a while and said, "It's only two days away from the fourth district."
Hearing this, Ah Liu raised his head and looked at Cedric. The two saw the worry in each other's eyes at the same time—the real target of the half-wisdom species is probably the fourth district.
A night of silence.
"From this direction, it will take eight days to reach the tenth district. But we can reach the fourth district in three days at most. If we are lucky, we can just avoid the herd of beasts, and then transfer to the tenth district faster." said Derek from the air, looking at Hal questioningly. Hal nodded, turned into a beast and started running with John on his back.
"Let's go." Cedric stretched out his hand to Ah Liu, who habitually held it, and then his body flew into the air. In order to cooperate with the lion, Cedric deliberately slowed down his flying speed, and kept a short distance from Hal to open the way ahead. They stopped five or six times throughout the day to give John a rest, something to eat and a change of dressing, but by night the orcs were still no better, and Hal struggled to find soft food so that John could Barely eat something.
