Hearing this, Xin An could neither accept it nor not accept it.

He wanted to retort, but he felt that the other party was only doing it out of good intentions.

"Thank you." She could only say so.

Orlando said, "You're different from the other females."

Hearing her words, Xin An gave a mocking smile. "Yes, they are not the same."

"Not ugly." Orlando said.

Xin An did not know what he was thinking, but she felt that this male was not bad. At least he looked cold, but he knew how to speak comfort.

"Thank you. I know my own limitations. " Xin An sprinkled salt on the meat.

Orlando raised his head and looked at her seriously, "I'm not lying."

Xin An looked at him with a gaze that seemed to believe him for some reason.

"The meat is almost ready, be a bit lighter." She could only change the subject.

Orlando pulled out part of the branch.

Cadillo also came back with a stone bowl.

Xin An placed the meat on a clean rock and poured the coconut juice into a stone bowl.

Orlando looked at the white juice in confusion.

Cadillo quickly said, "It's delicious."

Orlando nodded and took a sip. He did not have any expression on his face and only said: "Not bad."

Xin An pouted. This person was terrifyingly calm.

He left a few pieces of meat for himself and gave the rest to the two orcs.

"Orlando, how is it? Is the meat roasted by Xin An delicious?" Cadillo saw that Orlando was satisfied, so he continued to recommend it.

"It tastes so good." Xin An didn't know why, but she felt that Cadillo was trying to curry favor with Orlando.

Orlando tasted a piece of meat and nodded again. "Not bad."

Xin An's expression froze. This guy's vocabulary was really lacking.

"You guys enjoy yourselves, I'll go back and rest." For some reason, she felt somewhat uncomfortable, so she decided to leave.

"Xin An, don't worry. I've already spoken to Orlando about this. He'll definitely be fine if you go out tomorrow." Cadillo hurriedly said when he saw that she was about to leave.

Xin An turned around and glared at him, but she didn't dare to look at Orlando's expression.

The man said he would protect her.

Perhaps it was just for Cadillo's sake.

The next day, Xin An had already prepared everything in advance.

Her goal was clear, she only needed to find some herbs.

If she really wanted to hunt, she wasn't sure about the level of the wild beasts here, so it would be best if she could run into smaller animals. If she couldn't, then she could only give up.

The orcs gathered their tools together.

Seeing Xin An coming over, Orlando looked at her and said, "Let's go!"

Xin An calmly followed the male out of the crowd.

"Xin An, how did you do it yesterday?" Edmond was still curious, so he approached Xin An and asked.

Xin An glanced at him. "You're too slow."

Hearing her words, Edmond was even more confused. Too slow? He was a very fierce orc!

However, Xin An didn't give him any time to ask. She walked to the front and coincidentally stood with Orlando.

Embarrassed, she lowered her head and continued walking.

"Edmond!" Orlando also paid attention to the movement behind him and warned Edmond harshly.

Edmond could only shut his mouth as he thought to himself, "Since when did Orlando become so nosy?"

Xin An didn't care what they were talking about as she continued to move forward.

It wasn't until they were in the mountains that Xin An finally understood why those people had stopped the females from coming up.

The nameless shrubs, as well as the ground full of weeds, all had bugs running past them from time to time.

Xin An was not sure how dangerous these bugs were, but when she saw the unchanging expressions of the other beastmen, she knew that they were definitely used to this.

"Xin An, you stay with Orlando." The Patriarch was very dissatisfied that Orlando actually agreed to bring Xin An along, so he gave the order.

Xin An thought about it and decided not to cause trouble for Orlando. She walked quickly to his side.

However, she whispered, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

Orlando didn't say anything, he just leaned closer.

Along the way, there were a few small animals that were pierced by Orcs using sticks.

Xin An was not only deeply moved by their incredible strength, she was also extremely lacking in terms of tools …

However, she wasn't here for sightseeing, so she was also looking around for useful herbs.

However, things were not going well.

perhaps because this road was one that the Orcs often took, although there were some weeds in the surroundings, it was not useful.

"Next, I want to walk a path by myself." Xin An thought about it, then decided to tell Orlando about her plan.

Orlando immediately looked at her, as if he didn't understand why she suddenly said that.

Xin An explained, "I want to find the right herbs, but there aren't any in these places. I think we should split up now."

"What? Xin An, are you planning to go by yourself?" It was unknown when Edmond had gotten close to them, but when he heard Xin An's words, he immediately cried out.

Everyone looked over.

Xin An felt a little uncomfortable under the gazes of the crowd, but she still persisted.

"Xin An, as a female, it's good enough that you're brought out. You even asked for it!" The Patriarch was naturally rather dissatisfied.

Orlando had always been the main force in hunting. Now that he had Xin An, he had to focus part of his attention on her. Naturally, his harvest would be less!

What did it mean that the female was still planning to act on her own?

Xin An looked at the chief and could guess why he despised her so much. "I can't help you guys," she said. "I'll go by myself."

"Xin An, do you know what you're saying? There are so many wild beasts here, it's quite fierce! " Edmond immediately said.

However, Xin An turned her gaze towards Orlando. After all, she was brought here by him, so everything required his permission. If she wanted to come out again, she had to.

"Patriarch, you guys take one path, I'll follow Xin An." Orlando thought for a while and said.

Now, all the males could no longer remain calm.

"Orlando, you won't be able to hunt prey with this female." Some of the males began to shout.

"That's right, Orlando. Without you, how can we fight a big wild beast?" Some of the males also began to chime in.

Xin An understood the importance of Orlando after hearing what these people said. She didn't care.

"Orlando, I can protect myself." Xin An said.

Orlando grabbed her arm and turned around to walk away.

Xin An had no time to resist at all. The beastmen were too strong!

Now that the situation had developed to this point, the Patriarch could only lead the remaining people to other places to search for prey.

"You don't need to." Orlando finally stopped. Xin An was finally able to say something.

Orlando looked down at her, "I promised Cadillo."

Xin An didn't know what to say, so she simply said, "Alright, but I definitely won't be able to help you in any way."

She was not used to seeing those people mercilessly killing wild beasts. It wasn't a problem for her to deal with a person with her judo skills, but when facing a ferocious beast, she couldn't muster up the courage to take the initiative to deal with it.

At the end of the day, if they encountered him, they would just be running away.

"Yes." Orlando replied.

Seeing that the two of them could not speak, Xin An could only silently look around with her head lowered.

"What does the herb look like?" Orlando suddenly asked.

Xin An was stunned. "Ah?"

"I can help you find it." Orlando continued.

Xin An thought for a moment. Maybe he had seen it before and described how Du Zhonghe looked like. These two herbs have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening the bones and muscles. For Cadillo, these two medicines couldn't be any better.

Of course, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be able to find those two medicines. She could only hope that the difference in this world wouldn't be too great.

"Du Zhong has seen it before." Orlando frowned and said after thinking for a while.

Xin An was a little surprised, she did not expect to get it so easily. "Where?" Where did you see it? " The moment she got excited, she couldn't help but grab Orlando's arm.

Orlando looked at her.

Embarrassed, Xin An retracted her hand. "I, I didn't do it on purpose. I was just very happy …"

"Yes." Orlando said one syllable.

Xin An suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. It seemed like she cared too much about this.

"Where did you see Du Zhong?" Xin An finally told herself not to care about the details and asked.

Orlando thought about it and said, "There's still some distance to go."

Xin An originally wanted him to bring her there immediately, but she thought that he was here to hunt after all. There was no way she could let him bring her there, so she hid her loneliness. "Then take me later."

"Yes." Orlando answered again.

Xin An felt a fire igniting in her heart. "Do you only know this word?"

She felt like she had been fobbed off, and she was truly unhappy.

"Why?" Orlando didn't know why she suddenly lost her temper and was at a loss for what to do for a moment.

Xin An snorted and walked on in silence.

She really shouldn't have expected him to have such a good attitude. The two of them had only met a few times and had eaten together.

"Be careful!" Suddenly, she was pulled into Orlando's arms.

Xin An was shocked. She saw the wooden stick in Orlando's hand directly pierce a bug that was as long as a small arm.

She was still in a daze as she looked at the struggling bugs, unable to imagine what would happen if she was bitten.

Orlando grinded on the worm a few times. Finally, it was completely dead.

The black juice flowed all over the ground. One didn't need to think to know that it was highly toxic.

"Thank you." Xin An thanked him sincerely.

Orlando looked at her and said in a low voice, "Don't be angry."

Xin An raised her head to look at him. "Sorry, it was my willfulness just now."

Orlando felt helpless.

"Let's continue walking forward. When you bring me to find the medicine, it's time for me to go back." Xin An knew that there were dangers everywhere, so returning early was the most important.

Orlando nodded and continued to lead her forward.
