The dim twilight gradually descended, and the boundless ink color dyed the entire sky.

"Cough! Cough!"

Bursts of coughing were heard from a huge bungalow.

With ups and downs, fast or slow, few people can sleep in such an environment.

However, the people here seem to have gotten used to this kind of noise.

The sounds of coughing, snoring, and talking gathered together.

Inside the wooden house, there were piles of grass. Everyone had their own place, and the group of people covered the entire ground.

The fire was lit, and after a busy day, the females returned to the cabin, looking exhausted.

"Are you back?" Joel helped his partner sit down skillfully and poured her a glass of water with the kettle.

They are the Silver Spirits, and they are also slave captives of the Olivier tribe.

"Yeah." The woman rubbed her swollen eyebrows, drank a sip of the water handed to her, and did not forget to ask her partner what happened today.

Yoel scratched the back of his head and laughed innocently: "I am lucky today. I was not assigned to serve those adults. However, with my ability, it should not be my turn to serve them."

Joel only has three stars, and the orcs that Olin and his companions bring for hunting are all five stars and above. There are always a limited number of high-star orcs, and perhaps it won’t be long before they will have to go hunting too.

The probability of death while hunting is the highest, while the probability of death while doing odd jobs or strenuous work is the lowest. Joel is such a lucky guy, and he is always assigned to work that is not too strenuous.

"Come closer," the woman whispered to him.

As Joel moved closer, something soft was stuffed into his big hand, and it felt like a piece of meat.

The females are responsible for purifying the food. The brave ones will quietly pick up a small ball. If they are not discovered, it's fine. If they are discovered, they will be beaten up.

"This?" Yoel's eyes sparkled, and the woman nodded at him, "Eat quickly, didn't you say last time that you were tired of eating those nasty foods?"

Unpurified meat not only reduces the lives of orcs, but also tastes bitter and sour, making it difficult to swallow. However, in order to survive, they must eat it.

If I don’t eat, I won’t have the strength to do my work.

Joel smiled brightly and quickly broke off a large piece, leaving only a small bite for himself.

"You eat it, this little bit is enough for me!"

"I don't like eating raw meat, so you should eat it yourself. Eat it quickly, or you won't be able to eat even a small bite if you are seen."

With so many people here, if acquaintances see it, there will definitely be a crazy rush to grab the food. Since they are all acquaintances, it will be embarrassing to not give it to them, and if everyone takes a bite, what will be left?

Joel found a corner and stuffed the piece of meat in his hand into his mouth.

A big hand slapped his shoulder, and Joel was so scared that he choked.

Yot laughed loudly, "What delicious food did you eat again, kid? Why don't you share it with your big brother?"

After finally getting a chance to eat the delicious meat, he almost died because of his eldest brother.

Yoel caught his breath and glared at Yot: "Brother, please don't scare me! I almost choked to death!"

"How dare you say that? Eating alone will only make your stomach upset!"

Joel snorted. He didn't believe the nonsense that Yot said.

"Why did you come to see me? You didn't just want to catch me cheating, did you?"

Yot immediately put his arm around Yoel's shoulder and said mysteriously, "I, your elder brother, am not so idle. Did you know that Osai captured an orc from the butterfly tribe today? I heard that he is an eight-star orc."

How could Joel, a handyman, know such things?

Yot is different, he has six stars, has more opportunities to come into contact with important people, and knows more information.

The two brothers had good luck. Yot had gone on several hunting trips but was never chosen to lure prey.

"What does this have to do with us? He can't help us escape. What about eight stars? Even if nine stars come, we can't get out."

Joel didn't care about these things. They were living one day at a time. Why worry about this and that? If they couldn't even take care of themselves, how could they care about others?

"That's not the point. The point is that in order to catch the butterfly tribe member, Osei ordered the massacre of the entire tribe."

Seeing his brother's confusion, Yot continued, "Don't you find it strange? Normally, when you capture a tribe, don't they all take them as prisoners, either as vanguards to die, or throw them into the North Mountain to mine. It's rare to massacre an entire tribe like this."

After hearing this, Yoel finally understood. “That’s a bit strange indeed. Well, no matter how strange it is, it’s normal for outsiders.”

"Brother, seriously, you should stop thinking about this and that all the time. Let's just live our lives well. It may be hard, but at least we're still alive."

They could only muddle through, and even if a child was born, outsiders would order the execution.

Not to mention the hope of escaping, the people here hope more to see the sun tomorrow.

Many people, if they go out today, will never come back.

"Forget it. I'm just bored and have nothing to do. Why would I bother talking to a silly boy like you?" Yot waved his hand and walked towards his haystack.

Joel also returned to his partner, sat behind her, and massaged her sore muscles.

"If you're too tired, just be lazy. There won't be anyone to notice."

The woman narrowed her eyes and leaned tiredly on his chest.

"I want to slack off, but I can't find the opportunity. There are so many people watching me, and there are also females from other tribes walking around checking. If you are found slacking off, you will be whipped."

"You haven't seen it. Today, several people were so tired that they fell asleep, and then, they were whipped so that their backs were covered in blood."

"That's not bad. At least we still have some time to catch our breath. Unlike you, if something really happens, you won't be able to come back."

Yoel chuckled: "Anyway, I think what you do is very tiring. For us, we move things and build houses, and we can be lazy and chat. Our job is the easiest. I heard that those who are mining in Beishan are very tired!"

"My brother said that the last time they were digging, the cave entrance collapsed and killed a lot of people! It also killed a lot of foreign supervisors!"

The woman didn't even bother to raise her eyelids, and said lazily: "What's there to be happy about? Don't forget that most of those who were smashed to death were from our dirty blood race."

The Oliver tribe not only captured the Silver Spirits, but also some other races.

Seeing that his partner was about to fall asleep, Yoel shook him awake.

"Don't go to sleep yet, you haven't prayed today!"

The woman rubbed her eyes and then remembered that she had not yet made her daily prayers. She confessed her sins piously, then drew a full moon on her chest and dotted it above, below, left and right to represent the stars surrounding it.

After reciting the name of God, the woman fell asleep.

She was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes while reciting.
