Chapter 3: Accepting Fate

Meow, who are you looking down on?

　　"Mmmmm!!!" You bastard, let me go!

　　But the facts proved that she had no say in this team with her low combat power.

　　Her weak body made her sweat all over during the struggle, but there was no other effect. In the end, she still lay back on the man's back like a dead dog.

"Yue, don't struggle. Your father and mother are gone, and your body is still so weak. You can't survive in the tribe. It's better to be a slave in the Snow Tiger Tribe. At least you have food to eat."

　　A hoarse man's voice came from the front. The man who carried her all the way whispered to persuade her.

　　Winter has just passed, and the ice and snow outside have not melted yet. In the polar forest, except for the orc warriors of each large tribe, the half-orcs and pure humans can't go out hunting in such weather.

So the small tribe where Wu Yue is located will bring some tribesmen with little combat power out to exchange as slaves in exchange for enough food for the tribe to survive during this period.

　　Wu Yue stopped struggling, she knew that in such a primitive society ruled by the law of the jungle, someone like her who was born with poor health and could not contribute to the tribe, even if she was given away as a slave for free, not everyone would want her.

　　So the situation now is not about whether she can become a slave, but whether she can survive in this cruel society.

There are many half-beasts and pure humans coming and going in the Snow Tiger Tribe. They use their hands to clear the snow accumulated in the tribe and throw it into the river not far away.

　　The most eye-catching are the furry groups lying on the big rocks to bask in the sun. These are the little orc cubs of the Snow Tiger Tribe. The largest of them is only half the size of an orc's arm, and the smallest is even only the size of a palm.

This made Wu Yue, who was a little depressed, brighten up her eyes again. This furry creature was so cute, and looked chubby and round. Her

　　skinny paws moved, wanting to touch it~

　　But if you look closely, these cubs are a little thin under the hair blown by the wind.

　　Yes, although the orcs are strong and can work hard to eat and store energy before winter, they have nothing left after a whole winter, let alone these cubs.

There is no way to go out hunting in winter. Although the orcs can take the risk to bring back some food, in such a harsh and cold season, even the strong orcs are prepared to lose their lives at any time.

　　The half-orc took them to the open space where the cubs were basking in the sun: "Wait here, the adults will be here soon."

　　After saying that, he stood aside with a solemn face and did not speak.

　　It was said that they would be here soon, but the small tribesmen waited until the afternoon.

Although they did not feel cold in such a sunny place, many tribesmen with poor health were a little shaky after standing for such a long time.

　　The strong man pursed his cracked lips: "I don't know when the adults will come, we..." We still have to hurry!!!

　　The orc glared at him: "The adults are out hunting, they should be back by now, wait."

　　After that, he turned around and said nothing.

　　The strong man remembered that after the cold season, the strong orc warriors can go out hunting.

　　No wonder the orc warriors didn't look happy, he was just asking for nothing.
