Chapter 4: Towards a New World (Part 2)

Mei Xi fixed her gaze on Tang Lie's face, her beautiful eyes nearly blazing with fire. She bit down hard on her pearly teeth and said with intense hatred, "Take him up to me; I want to entertain him properly"

More than 100 Biters were divided into five groups and confined in the lower hold. Before entering the lower hold, the beautiful warrior women on the ship unfastened the iron chains that bound them and replaced them with individual leg shackles. This ensured that they could walk freely within a certain range, yet could not escape. However, the leg shackles were specially designed for the Biters. With Tang Lie's tall stature and long legs, wearing such shackles was quite inconvenient, allowing him to take only small steps forward each time.

The dwarf was in a worse situation, having been poked in the eye by Tang Lijian's firm lower body. He covered his eyes and began to wail; despite his short stature, his voice was quite loud, comparable to a bull's roar.

But he heard Ma Xingkong shout loudly: "No, it is clearly one hundred seventy-three!" He rushed forward and grabbed Tang Lie's arm.

Tang Lie ran a considerable distance without pausing to catch his breath. In his haste, his feet were cut in several places by sharp stones. He was certain that the woman was not pursuing him from behind, and only then did he stop, leaning against a tree trunk to rest for a moment

Tang Lie fell to his knees on the floor in pain, as fists and heavy feet rained down upon him. He protected his lower body with his hands, kneeling face down on the floor, striving to minimize the damage inflicted on him by the Bit People.

Ma Xingkong deliberately put on a troubled expression: "Miss Mei, however, I have invested considerable resources and finances in gathering this batch of Bit people..."

The tall and strong fellow exclaimed with great satisfaction, "This big guy is worth at least five gold coins."

Holding his stomach, he took two steps back, only to hear the relentless sound of hounds closing in. Turning his head, he saw more than ten hounds, as robust as calves, panting with their bright red tongues, charging at full speed.

About five minutes later, several graceful and charming young women came running over, laughing. Tang Lie thought he had encountered a savior and shouted loudly, "Help! Help!" However, as the words reached his throat, they turned into a hissing sound. His mouth and tongue felt unusually numb, and he was unable to utter a word.

In a futile attempt to run forward two steps, a hunting dog leaped into the air and pounced on him, its sharp front paws landing on Tang Lie's shoulders. Despite Tang Lie's robust physique, he was knocked to the ground in an instant. The short, rotund figure was also pinned to the ground by another hunting dog.

Tang Lie had not yet had the chance to clearly see what the figure was when three or five more short figures suddenly emerged from behind the large tree and the grass. Now he could finally see clearly; these were actually dwarfs, each less than one meter tall. Although their stature was short, their physiques were exceptionally robust. They wore skirts made of animal skins and leaves around their waists, exposing their upper bodies and legs. Their muscles were well-developed, their skin dark and shiny. Despite their short and stocky legs, they ran at a remarkably fast pace, quickly leaving Tang Lie behind.

Yan Yue and the others were slightly taken aback, unsure of how this man had offended the master to provoke such anger from her

Tang Lieqiang gritted his teeth and continued to flee, limping despite the pain. His running speed was far inferior to that of the short-statured dwarves, and his soles were severely bruised by stones and thorns. The impact from the dwarves only added to his miseries.

Tang Lie's entire body felt as if its bones were about to shatter, and he let out a cry of pain. His mind became much clearer, but he did not dare to look back at the woman. After getting up from the ground, he fled desperately into the woods ahead.

Tang Lie gazed at the vibrant spring scenery before him, momentarily forgetting his perilous situation. His eyes, filled with desire, followed the voluptuous figures of several ladies, their skirts formed by the surrounding leaves rising high, while the swelling in his lower body throbbed with a burning pain.

Mei Xi's gaze fell upon Tang Lie. Although Tang Lie had his head lowered, she recognized him at a glance as the man she had just seen by the hot spring. What puzzled her was that, despite the man's strikingly handsome features, his nearly bare skin exhibited a faint blue hue. With her experience, she could not imagine to which race this man belonged.

Mei Xie raised her eyebrows, her blue eyes fixed intently on Ma Xingkong: "If you like him, feel free to take him away. However, as a business partner, I must remind you that trafficking in the Holy Land people will inevitably face the punishment of being torn apart if caught"

He rubbed his stomach and squatted down in the grass, realizing that his digestive system was not accustomed to this type of fruit. Tang Lie let out three loud farts in succession but did not expel anything. Remembering the blue diamond in his stomach, he felt a bit uneasy. He persisted in squatting for more than ten minutes, yet there was still no sign of relief. Fortunately, the abdominal pain had already subsided.

Tang Lie was so frightened that his soul seemed to leave his body; he had just escaped from a wolf pack only to fall into a tiger's den. How could his luck be so poor

Ma Xingkong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it... forget it... let's leave it to Miss Mei to handle!" After saying this, he left the place in a flurry with six of his warriors.

All these women are clad in bronze armor, their skin exceptionally fair, and their hair is a dazzling golden color. Except for their elbows and knees, which are protected by bronze armor, most of their skin is exposed.

The hunting dog, with its white teeth, drew close to Tang Lie's neck, its saliva dripping continuously onto Tang Lie's skin. Tang Lie was so frightened that he did not dare to breathe, fearing that any resistance would provoke the ferocious nature and instincts within the hunting dog. Its sharp teeth could easily tear apart his throat.

Mei Xi said coldly: "Since the person from the Holy Land was brought by Boss Ma, I would trouble Boss Ma to take him away; I do not wish to seek trouble for myself." She turned to Yan Yue and said: "Yan Yue! Untie him and hand him over to Boss Ma!"

The woman in the red dress smiled lightly: "No wonder others say that Boss Ma is exceptionally shrewd; today I, Mei Xi, have truly experienced it for myself"

Until this group of Biters grew tired, each one finally stopped. The stout dwarf seemed to have regained his self-esteem in front of his companions, swaying his plump backside as he sat on Tang Lie's head

From the surrounding bushes, several hidden dwarfs emerged. One particularly unfortunate chubby fellow was caught in a predicament; when Tang Lie passed gas, he happened to be hiding behind him. The noxious fumes left him dizzy, and in his panic, he mistakenly chose the wrong direction, crashing headfirst into Tang Lie's groin, colliding directly with Tang Lie's steadfast member. Tang Lie let out a painful scream, crouching down while covering his lower body.

The short and stout middle-aged man chuckled, saying: "Congratulations, Miss Mei. It seems our transaction this time has gone quite smoothly. In total, there are one hundred seventy-two Bit People, not a single one less! Payment upon delivery!"

Mei Xi sneered, "Ma Xing Kong, do not forget who brought back the twenty-four missing Biters! Are we to count them as well?"

Suddenly, the barking of hunting dogs came from behind. Tang Liao felt that something was amiss; before he could stand up, a small figure suddenly darted out from the grass beside him, fleeing forward like a rabbit

A hobbit wiggled his hips, making a sound from his lips that resembled a fart, and then pointed at the stout, round-faced dwarf.

A few women behind her laughed provocatively: "Yan Yue, if you have taken a liking to him, just go directly to the master and ask him to grant you this pet, wouldn't that fulfill your wish?"

The stout-headed creature raised its short, thick fingers to make a shushing gesture, and with all its might, it released a thunderous fart that shook the very ground.

The forest is dense, with the branches and leaves overhead blocking out the sky and sunlight. Tang Lie has been traversing through the dim light for over half an hour, yet there are still no signs of exiting this woodland.

Tang Lie finally understood what they were laughing about. These ignorant individuals deserved to be sold by human traffickers. In such a situation, instead of thinking about how to escape and save themselves, they mocked their own companions

Another woman laughed and said, "Look at him, strong and robust; he must be a valiant warrior in bed. If Yan Yue can truly take him as her favorite, she will surely enjoy endless pleasure day and night."

Yan Yue brandished a golden soft whip in her hand, her delicate hand raised to strike fiercely at the stout dwarf, shouting angrily: "Whoever dares to escape again, I will cut their throat with a single stroke!"

Tang Lie, feeling dizzy from the smoke, cursed loudly: "I curse your ancestors! If I ever get my hands on you, I will skin you alive and pull out your tendons, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart..."

The stout and rotund Biterman suddenly stood up, his small eyes glaring angrily at Tang Lie. The surrounding Bitermen pointed at his right eye and then at Tang Lie's lower body, laughing uproariously.

The stout dwarf, filled with silent rage, had a pair of small eyes that revealed a malicious glint, wishing nothing more than to carve out Yan Yue's heart.

Macy deeply despised this cunning and snobbish fellow, and turned to walk towards the merchant ship

One tall and graceful woman approached Tang Lie with a smile, her brown fur boots lightly treading between his legs: "I never expected to find such a tall and handsome man among the Biters tribe!"

A tall woman in a red dress is conversing with a short, stout middle-aged man dressed in luxurious attire by the shore. They are gesturing in various ways as they speak, likely engaged in haggling.

If Tang Lie were not shackled, he would certainly give him two hard slaps. The more he wished not to be recognized by Mei Xi, the more he was exposed by this snobbish person, Ma Xingkong.

Upon mentioning the boss, several young women immediately ceased their laughter. They led the hounds aside and secured Tang Lie and several other captured dwarves together with steel shackles.

A giant five-masted sailing ship quietly docked by the sea, where several hundred dwarves, sharing the same fate as Tang Lie, were being led onto the ship one by one. Tang Lie forced himself to refocus on reality, finding the scene before him somewhat familiar. What were these people capturing the dwarves for? Could they be human traffickers? Were they profiting from the sale of dwarves? Tang Lie secretly broke into a cold sweat, praying to the heavens that he would not be correct in his assumptions.

Macy coldly interrupted him, saying: "For each of the twenty-four escaped slaves, I will pay you one gold coin. Here are three hundred and twenty gold coins; please count them." She threw a bag filled with gold coins towards Ma Xingkong.

When Tang Lie clearly saw the woman's face, he was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body. This woman was clearly the one he had almost assaulted just moments ago. Damn it, it's over! Tang Lie lowered his head, almost touching the buttocks of the short, stout man in front of him.

The lower cabin is relatively spacious, with a skylight inlaid with glass above, allowing light to filter in from above, clearly illuminating the scene within the lower cabin

Tang Lie was inwardly lamenting, could this short, stout man really be so unfortunate, did he happen to smell it just as I let one rip

The Bit People looked curiously at hetushu.com and his actions

"Pervert!" the woman scolded angrily in a delicate voice. With her strong and powerful legs, she easily broke free from Tang Lie's grasp, delivering a heavy kick to his abdomen that sent his body flying backward, landing on the grass more than ten meters away.

Several hobbits suddenly burst into laughter, their laughter resembling that of frogs, which sounded particularly irritating to the ears

After the hatch was sealed, the Biters began to chatter away. Tang Lie had no understanding of their language and sat curled up beside the stairs, anxiously contemplating his unfortunate fate

The horse trotted happily as it lit up the gold coins, displaying a greedy face typical of a scheming merchant

Mei Xi chuckled softly: "Although Boss Ma is not old, his eyesight has already deteriorated. Take a close look at the color of his hair and eyes, and then observe his facial features."

Ma Xingkong's thick lips twitched involuntarily; he was clearly startled by Mei Xi. Yet, he continued to insist, "How could he be a person from the Holy Land? He is clearly a native of Gaoling!"

Hunger began to set in, but fortunately, there were large trees laden with fruit scattered throughout the forest. The shape of the fruit resembled that of peaches, yet when eaten, it lacked sweetness and had a somewhat astringent and bitter taste. In his hunger, Tang did not indulge in much selectivity and consumed six fruits in succession before feeling a slight alleviation of his hunger. However, his stomach soon betrayed him and began to ache again

Because he was tied to the dwarves, Tang Lie's tall figure appeared quite inconvenient; he had to bend down to walk. The dwarves emitted a pungent smell of sweat that nearly suffocated him. However, his eyes were restlessly glued to several alluring women, and the desires within him made his blood surge. "If heaven gives me a chance, I would take you all!" Tang Lie was startled by the sudden surge of base thoughts; how could a person with a doctorate, who had received a higher education, entertain such shameless ideas?

The stout dwarf, with his straw-like hair standing upright, suddenly let out a roar and charged at Tang Lie like a cannonball.

Tang Lie did not have time to think much and chased after the direction in which the dwarves were fleeing. From the expressions on their faces, Tang Lie had already realized that a certain danger was about to arrive

The short and stout middle-aged man still wore a broad smile as he said: "Even if I, Ma Xingkong, am quite shrewd, I wouldn't dare to play tricks with Miss Mei. The price remains the same: two gold coins per person for one hundred seventy-two individuals, totaling three hundred forty-four gold coins. I will not charge a single coin more."

From the moment Tang Lie stood up, he was already on high alert. Quick-witted and agile, he seized the hair of the stout dwarf. The dwarf, with his short limbs and stout arms, swung them about but could not touch Tang Lie in the slightest.

Several women led Tang Lie and his companions forward, winding their way for about 5 miles. Suddenly, the view opened up before them; they found themselves on a high ridge overlooking a flat expanse of grassland below. Further ahead lay a series of undulating sandy beaches, and the vast blue sea stretched endlessly, reflecting the expansive sky. The water shimmered and changed endlessly, displaying myriad forms. The clear sunlight made the sea appear crystal clear and transparent, resembling a massive blue gemstone.

Tang Lie found himself unable to speak, his tongue feeling numb and dry. It seemed related to the fruit he had just eaten to stave off hunger; the juice of that fruit likely had a paralyzing effect. His tongue felt like a wooden stake, stuck in place. Suddenly, Tang Lie thought that if this substance were refined, it would make an excellent material for creating a narcotic.

Yan Yue approached the woman in red and respectfully said, "Boss, we have captured all the Bit people who escaped!"

The lady known as Yan Yue let out a series of charming giggles: "Seeing his handsome face, each of you has harbored lewd thoughts in your hearts, yet you want to shift the blame onto me. It would be better to get on with serious matters; if we delay the master's task, I fear we shall all face punishment"

The woman lifted the bathrobe set aside with her toes, a red cloud slowly rising. As her delicate body spun upward, by the time she landed on the grass, she had already donned the red bathrobe. Her blue eyes coldly gazed in the direction where Tang Lie had fled, a hint of a cruel smile playing at the corners of her mouth

In an instant, smoke and dust filled the lower cabin, and the sound of ping-pong echoed incessantly. Although Tang Lie was tall, he was left with no choice but to endure the beating under the assault of this group of short Biters.

Ma Xingkong drew closer to Tang Lie, took a deep breath, and his small eyes revealed an expression of utter disappointment

Seeing their companion at a disadvantage, the team spirit of the Biters was instantly ignited. More than thirty Biters stood up almost simultaneously, rushing forward towards Tang Lie in a competitive frenzy.

After much contemplation, Tang Liesi ultimately abandoned the idea of returning to search for his belongings. He plucked a few unknown broad leaves from the tree and wrapped them around his waist, one in front and one in back. At first glance, it appeared as though he was wearing a green short skirt, but compared to his earlier state of being completely bare, it was a significant improvement.

In a moment of desperation, the numbness in his tongue surprisingly faded, and Tang Lie shouted loudly: "I curse your ancestors! If you have the guts, face me one-on-one..." Before he could finish his sentence, the stout dwarf's hard fist struck him in the groin.

He suddenly remembered that in his haste to escape, he had left the satchel given to him by the white ape by the edge of the pond. The other items were not significant, but inside were a handgun and eleven bullets. He couldn't help but feel a sense of regret, as such an unfortunate incident had occurred just after his arrival here

The chubby, round face of the dwarf has turned a purplish-black due to a mix of shame and anger
