Chapter 10: The Song of the Orcs

Hua Tianxing enjoyed smacking his lips, looking at the orc woman who still had her eyes closed, and grinned as he said: "What made you suddenly think of singing for me? Could it be... that you are expressing your love for me? Hehe, I also..."

Hua Tianxing was momentarily taken aback—what was she doing

There is no way to communicate with these two orcs, what should I do? If it really comes to that, I can only use body language, hoping that they will understand my intentions... Hua Tianxing sighed helplessly! At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind—get out of this damned primitive jungle as soon as possible

Hua Tianxing felt a sudden dizziness, nearly stumbling to the ground. He shook his head vigorously, stepping back several paces, and warily stared at the orc woman, coldly asking, "What are you doing?!" Unconsciously, his hand moved to his waist, gripping the hilt of the "Curved Bone Knife" tightly—many situations were still unclear. Although he had taken the risk to save these two orcs, he was simultaneously observing their every move, remaining vigilant in his heart. After all, he was unaware of the true nature of these two orcs.

Nicole? Ha... Ha, Lawrence?

Hua Tianxing seemed to be infected by the enchanting and melodious celestial voice. He quietly gazed at the orc woman before him— as the song grew increasingly clear and high-pitched, a hint of purity seemed to emanate from her calm face. For some reason, Hua Tianxing found himself somewhat hesitant to look at her face; even the fleeting thoughts of infatuation that had surged in his heart moments ago had unknowingly dissipated, leaving only tranquility and the act of listening.

It is still the familiar "birdsong," yet music is evidently without any boundaries—the song of the beast-woman is clear and distant, imbued with an ethereal grace and an ancient, weathered charm. The heavenly, melodious voice resonates through the forest, as if even the gentle breeze passing through is moved, halting its advance—the leaves no longer rustle.

Hua Tianxing grinned widely, sizing up the orc woman: "Are you saying... you want me to accompany you?" He felt a bit distracted—this orc woman, aside from the long tail behind her that made him slightly uncomfortable, was truly a rare beauty, far superior to the Myanmar women who specialized in the sex trade along the China-Myanmar border

Before her words had even finished, the orc woman's eyes suddenly opened! Almost at the very moment she opened her eyes, her index finger gently pressed against Hua Tianxing's forehead

The bull-headed orc also gazed at the orc woman, solemnly nodding his head slowly

Faced with the sudden frivolous behavior of Hua Tianxing, the orc woman immediately flushed. She looked at the departing Hua Tianxing with a puzzled expression for a moment, then turned to the bull-headed orc leaning against the tree and quietly asked him something. The bull-headed orc's large nose twitched slightly, and with a somewhat helpless expression, he slowly shook his head.

Hua Tianxing suddenly came to his senses, his heart racing. In a swift motion, he dashed in front of the orc woman and lifted her up, his face filled with disbelief and wild joy as he exclaimed, "Wait! How can you speak my language? Hahaha, truly, the heavens have eyes! You can actually speak Chinese; why didn't you tell me earlier?" After saying this, overwhelmed with happiness, he couldn't help but spin around several times with the orc woman in his arms before gently setting her down.

Hua Tianxing was suddenly startled and quickly turned around—standing behind him was the orc woman, her large eyes glistening with moisture, staring intently at him.

Hua Tianxing scratched his head in confusion and caught sight of a small pile of fruit pits next to the minotaur. He chuckled softly and said, "What's wrong, not enough to eat?" He pointed to a pile of wild fruits by his campfire and indicated, "Here, if you want to eat, just take some yourself."

Just as he was utterly bewildered, completely unable to comprehend the intention behind the other party's actions, the orc woman suddenly parted her crimson lips and softly began to sing!

Night has finally fallen, and the jungle has plunged into an endless darkness

He saw the orc woman chattering away tirelessly, so he smiled broadly, gently pinched her rosy cheeks, and shook his head with a sigh, "Even if you speak, I won't understand. Come on, stop talking and let's fill our stomachs first!" After saying this, he unceremoniously stuffed the wild fruit into the orc woman's hands and turned to walk towards the campfire.

Hua Tianxing was momentarily stunned! Although he had not encountered many women, those he had were not lacking in beauty and charm. Yet, the smile of the orc woman before him completely captivated him—a true dimpled smile, exquisite and breathtaking! It was like a blooming orchid, fresh in its elegance, enchanting to the soul! ... He had never seen any woman smile in such a captivating manner ... it was like a blooming orchid, fresh in its elegance, enchanting to the soul! ... He had never seen any woman smile in such a captivating manner ...

As soon as the words were spoken, the orc woman suddenly closed her eyes. Her right hand still held onto Hua Tianxing's hand, while her left hand slowly rose in front of him, extending her index finger to make a strange gesture right against his forehead

The minotaur nodded, and the orc woman also gently nodded in response. She then turned her head and gazed intently at Hua Tianxing. Hua Tianxing felt perplexed, glanced at the minotaur, and then looked down at the orc woman, exclaiming, "Hmm? What secret signal are you two exchanging? Damn it! It's truly painful not being able to communicate!"

For some unknown reason, the orc woman, after completing this strange act, appeared exceptionally fatigued, bending over and breathing rapidly and softly, with beads of fine sweat forming on her forehead. She had clearly sensed a hint of hostility in Hua Tianxing's words, slowly straightening up to gaze at him in a daze, but then she immediately broke into a charming smile

As he was lost in thought with his hands clasped behind his back, suddenly, something gently touched his hand from behind

The orc woman clearly sensed the slyness and ambiguity in Hua Tianxing's gaze. Her face flushed slightly as she averted her eyes, turning to look at the nearby tauren behind her.

This song is quite long, lasting about five to six minutes. The orc woman finally stopped singing, and then her index finger, which had been motionless for a long time right in front of his forehead, began to nimbly gesture various strange signs again

The orc woman glanced at the pile of wild fruits, roughly understanding Hua Tianxing's meaning. She shook her head and gently held his right hand.

The orc woman, seeing Hua Tianxing's astonished expression, softly gasped and slightly parted her lips: "Thank you, thank you for saving Nicole..." At this point, she turned her head and pointed to the minotaur orc leaning against the large tree behind her: "And Haruns."

Tonight's firewood is sufficient. Previously, Hua Tianxing had collected a large bundle of firewood while foraging for wild fruits. He added some firewood to his own pile of fire and then lit another pile of fire not far in front of the two orcs. The two piles of fire crackled vigorously, illuminating the area within a radius of ten zhang. Nevertheless, Hua Tianxing anxiously paced back and forth between the two piles of fire, his eyes constantly fixed on the pitch-black, silent stretch of sand twenty meters away—what had occurred on that sand earlier had indeed left him with lingering fears! Even with the bright flames, he remained on edge, unable to relax in the slightest, uncertain whether those nightmarish creatures would emerge at night to crawl out of the sand in search of food.
