Transmigrating into the only holy female in the interstellar world, the orcs who have no descendants
Chapter 360 Scorpion Beast
Rosie was alone in the cave, bored to death. Outside, the sound of rain fell, monotonous and hypnotic. She wanted to walk to the river, but she stopped herself when she remembered the rain's last words.
"The rainy season is the orcs' mating season... stray orcs will hunt down females..."
Yu's words were like a thin rope, restraining her restless heart. She retracted her foot and sat back on the animal hide, hugging her knees with her hands, resting her chin on them, and staring blankly at the cave entrance.
Outside the cave, the rain continued like a huge gray curtain, shrouding the whole world in haze.
"Oh..." She sighed softly, her voice barely audible.
"Help! Help!"
Suddenly, a shrill cry for help broke through the rain outside the cave.
Is that... a female voice?
Luo Xi's heart instantly rose to her throat. She remembered what Yu had said...
Could it be that a stray animal has broken into the tribe?
Just when Rosie's heart was lifted, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the cave, mixed with heavy breathing.
What's coming?
This primitive cave doesn't even have a decent door and can't keep anything out.
Rosie's heart was beating fast. She looked around and her eyes fell on the stone jar in the corner that was used to store water.
Without thinking too much, she rushed over and jumped directly into the stone vat.
The cold water instantly submerged her. Rosie subconsciously held her breath, but her body instinctively began to adapt to the underwater environment.
She was surprised to find that she could breathe underwater!
How can this be?
She is clearly a human being, a carbon-based creature that walks on land. How could she breathe in water like a fish?
Isn't this too unscientific?
However, now is obviously not the time to worry about these things.
Rosie tried hard to calm her confused thoughts and hid her entire body under the water.
She hid in the water tank and felt that time was passing by incomparably long.
Every second seemed to be stretched infinitely, turning into a silent torture.
She didn't know what was happening outside. She could only hear some vague sounds, like the growls of wild beasts and the cries of humans, mixed with the sound of rain, which was terrifying.
She didn't dare go out, for fear that she would be discovered by the stray animals as soon as she showed her face.
Rosie subconsciously curled up into a ball, silently praying that the rain would come back soon.
I don’t know how long it took, but the noise outside gradually subsided like the receding tide, leaving only the sound of rain, hitting the ground monotonously and persistently.
Rosie's heart was still hanging in the air, like a dead leaf swaying in the wind, and it could fall at any time.
There's no movement anymore...
Could it be that those stray animals have been chased away by the males left behind in the tribe?
She carefully pressed her ear against the cold stone wall, trying to pick up any sound from the outside world. All she could hear was the sound of rain, and more rain, as if the entire world was being swallowed by this endless curtain of rain.
Rosie took a deep breath and slowly poked her head out of the tank, like a cautious baby bird poking out of its nest, observing the world around her.
The cave was in a mess, like a battlefield ravaged by a strong wind.
The bonfire had gone out, leaving only a few wisps of smoke slowly drifting in the air, with a faint smell of burning.
The stone pot was knocked over and the food inside was spilled all over the floor, mixed with the dirt and emitting an unpleasant smell.
The animal skins were torn into pieces and scattered on the ground like tattered flags, silently telling of the chaos that had just occurred.
The entire cave was in a horrible state, like a looted ruin, devoid of its former warmth.
Fortunately, the cave was empty. Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, her heart a little relieved.
It seems that what Yu said was not entirely right. In this primitive and cruel world, no place is absolutely safe.
However, before he could catch his breath, a burly figure appeared at the entrance of the cave like a ghost, blocking the faint light.
Rosie's heart sank suddenly, like a huge rock falling into the bottomless abyss.
He was a male orc with a long scorpion tail on his back. His body was covered with ugly scars, and he looked like a twisted centipede, hideous and terrifying.
He had a fur skirt wrapped around his waist, which was covered in dirt and blood and gave off a strong fishy smell. The male had a pair of triangular eyes that flashed with greed and cruel light, like two balls of blue will-o'-the-wisp, dancing in the darkness.
When Rosie saw the ugly scars on his body, a strong fear surged in her heart.
"What a beautiful little female," the scorpion beastman said, his voice hoarse and rough, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other. "You were the one who caused my brother's death that day, weren't you?"
His eyes, like two sharp knives, swept back and forth over Rosie with undisguised aggression.
Luo Xi's heart was beating so fast it almost jumped out of her throat. She suppressed her fear and tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Are you here... for revenge?"
"Revenge?" The scorpion beastman grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, like a row of sharp saw teeth. "No, no, no, I'm here to thank the little beauty."
He approached Rosie step by step, with a crazy gleam in his eyes, like a hungry beast, staring at his prey.
"Without you, how could I eat his crystal core and successfully advance?"
His voice, like a rusty iron saw, pulled back and forth in Rosie's ears, making her feel nauseous.
Luo Xi's stomach churned, and she felt like she was about to vomit. This scorpion beastman actually... ate his own brother's crystal core?
