In another house next door, several people were sitting cross-legged on straw mats.

Female Ma Xia held her cub in her arms and kept wiping away tears. Her cub was only thirteen years old, how could he be chosen to participate in the hunt!

She couldn't help but be frightened. They were slaves of Black Armor City. Black Armor City would bring many slaves with them on every autumn hunt to attract the attention of wild beasts, and basically there was no chance of survival.

I thought Black Rock City would not be like this, but I didn't expect that I couldn't escape it in the end.

Ma Fen lowered his head and comforted his mother, "Mom, I will definitely come back alive."

Most of the slaves from Black Armor City were females and cubs. Seventy percent of the cubs selected for hunting this time were from this group. Ma Fen saw that his mother was not comforted, "Not only were we selected, the city lord's cub went too."

Ma Xia sniffed hard and glared at him, "How can that be the same? The city lord's cub must be well protected and will not be sent to attract wild beasts."

Ma Fen clenched his fingers. The ones going this time were youngsters who were 12 years old and above. They were basically relatively strong with healthy limbs. They went there under the pretext of being part of the logistics department, but everyone knew behind the scenes that they were there to be cannon fodder.

Ma Xia's relatives patted her on the back. They were slaves and had no choice. "Don't scare Ma Fen. Ma Fen, don't listen to your mother. We have to look at the bright side."

How could Ma Xia not know? She just couldn't accept this fact. She hugged Ma Fen tightly. This was not her first cub. He had an older brother, but he was beaten to death by the slave owner.

Now it's the turn of Ma Fen, the girl she raised with great difficulty, and she is unwilling to accept the fact.

"Mother, please get ready for me! We will be leaving in two days."

Ma Fen accepted this reality faster than Ma Xia.

Some of the cubs are orphans and have long been numb to the fate they are about to face. They all live in dormitories, which are empty of the usual noises of fighting and playing and are so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

On the other side, Qiao Xin also began to pack luggage for Lang Rui, including quilts, military coats, spare clothes, straw mats, and food. Everything was spread all over the living room on the first floor.

The conditions outside were tough, but Qiao Xin knew Lang Rui could take good care of herself and Lang Yu. "Is there anything else you want to bring?"

Lang Rui hugged Qiao Xin from behind and whispered a few words.

Qiao Xin pushed him a few times in annoyance, but he didn't push her away. "We're leaving in two days, and you're still thinking about this."

Lang Rui said innocently: "It's because I'm leaving in two days." Whenever he thought about leaving his partner for a month or two, his whole body was in resistance and he wanted to pack up his partner and take him away with him.

But his reason told him that he couldn't do that, as the autumn harvest was about to begin and Lu Yao had already returned to the Huaxia tribe. Qiao Xin had to stay in Black Stone City to preside over the harvest, control the overall situation, and prevent people with ulterior motives from causing trouble.

Lang Rui picked up Qiao Xin, and Qiao Xin clamped her legs around Lang Rui's waist.

Lang Rui's abdomen tightened, his breathing became heavy, and veins on his arms bulged. The light shone on his superior nose and deep, warm eyes, making him look like a ball of fire.

To ignite the fire of Qiao Xin.

Qiao Xin has a small frame, is plump and delicate, has straight and slender legs, and has plenty of flesh where it should be.

She kissed Lang Rui's half-closed eyes. The temperature of his mouth was scorching, and the sound of his Adam's apple swallowing was uncontrollable.

Lang Rui carried Qiao Xin into the bedroom and threw the little wolf onto the sofa. Lang Yu just opened his eyes when a quilt covered his head. The sky suddenly became dark. Lang Yu yawned, changed his posture, and closed his eyes.

After tossing and turning all night, Qiao Xin got up early the next morning, rubbing her waist and continuing to make preparations.

She wants to make medicine powder and roll pills today.

Hu Jiao came over with her cub in her arms to help. This time, Hu was still the vanguard. She had her own selfish motives for coming to help. She wanted to get some life-saving pills from Qiao Xin.

Give your partner more protection.

Hu Jiao put the little fox on the ground and let him play with the kittens in Mao Bai's house, and ground the herbs that Mao Bai had cut into fine powder using a mortar or pestle.

Qiao Xin was boiling maltose in the kitchen. She hadn't noticed the presence of bees yet, so she could only use maltose instead of honey to make medicine pills.

Lang Yu ran in and out, and ran to the door to watch Lang Rui and the others dismantling the carriage. Then he ran in again and opened his mouth. Qiao Xin stuffed a ball of maltose into his mouth.

It was so sweet that he squinted his eyes and ran away, leaving behind a colorful wind.

Lang Rui led a group of people to dismantle the carriage on the main road. The main reason for doing this was to avoid wearing out the wheels. So far, Lang Xue was the only one who could make bearings out of iron. The speed of producing finished products could not keep up with the speed of consumption, so they had to save as much as possible.

The removed panels are tied to other vehicles, and then reassembled after hunting prey.

Blackrock City has prepared a lot of food for the hunting team, and all of it needs to be loaded onto the vehicle and secured today.

Qiao Xin and the other two had been busy all day and did not cook. They went directly to the cafeteria to get their meals and went to bed early after eating.

It was just daybreak and Lang Rui was already gathering members of the hunting team to prepare to set off.

The hunting team members this time were carefully selected, with a total of two thousand black-armored orcs. The rest were relatively strong males selected from the slaves, and there were also cubs brought in to learn hunting cooperation techniques.

The selected black-armored orcs, each with their head held high and chest puffed out, stood quietly in the square, full of energy and emotions.

There was excitement in their eyes. They had only engaged in small-scale hunting near Blackrock City and had not conducted large-scale serious hunting for a long time. They were all looking forward to the upcoming exciting battle.

In contrast, the slaves, whether adults or cubs, were listless, with numb eyes and no energy.

At first glance, the cub with colorful hair seemed out of place among the group of people.

The cubs suppressed themselves and tried not to pay attention to the special cub among them. The more they didn't want to pay attention, the more they looked over there.

Lang Yu twisted his body proudly, taking in all the gazes from others, and touched his hair. He looked so handsome.

"Aren't you going to take the bus?"

A brave cub asked the wolf in front of him who was only as tall as his legs. They all knew that the cub was from the city lord's family.

He is so young, the city lord should let him ride in the car!

Lang Yu’s back stiffened. He didn’t understand why others would ask him if he wanted to take a car. “There’s no car to take!” All the cars had to be loaded with supplies.

The wolf was standing on one side of the square with Qiao Xin, his eyes red. He looked at the tribesmen who were chosen to go hunting and snorted hatefully, expressing his dissatisfaction with not being chosen.

Qiao Xin looked at him with amusement, "Your job of defending the city is also important, no matter who you are."

The wolf knew it clearly, and he also wanted to run and hunt on the grassland to his heart's content. This was the passion engraved in the genes of their wolf clan.

The orcs from the Huaxia tribe who were not selected were also very envious, but there was nothing they could do. They could not repeat the same mistakes and let Blackrock City become the second Silvermoon tribe. They had to learn from the experience of being destroyed and protect Blackrock City.
