12. Chapter 12 [Supplement](1/2)
"Ou——"
Eric's screams floated behind him, getting farther and farther away.
The sailboat left the ferry and headed towards the other end of the river.
Ji Xiaoou held the escalator tightly with his hands, listened to the sounds on the boat, and then jumped onto the deck after confirming that there was no one on it.
Wet sneakers stomped on the deck, leaving a large watermark.
Before Ji Xiaoou could wipe the water droplets on his face, the surroundings suddenly turned black and the entire ship fell into darkness.
The orcs here are based on the weather.
It rises at dawn and it stops at dark.
So at this time, most of the orcs had returned to their respective rooms to rest, and no one discovered Ji Xiaoou for the time being.
Ji Xiaoou had no idea just now. When she realized it, she was already in the river.
She learned swimming with her father when she was a child, and it was not a problem to swim at such a distance.
But she forgot that it was already winter. There was just a blizzard yesterday and the river water was so cold!
Ji Xiaoou stood on the deck, and the cold wind swayed, and she shivered hard.
What exactly did she think...
Why did you come over without thinking about it when you heard that the leopard was on the boat?
What should I do next?
The deck was empty and there was no one.
Only a fire lighted up at the bow of the ship.
In the faint light, Ji Xiaoou saw clearly that the wolf orc in beast clothes was a wolf clan orc in beast clothes.
Unlike the wolf orc she saw today, this orc still retains most of the characteristics of the wolf clan, with ears erect, long kisses, wide mouths, and eyes emitting a faint green light in the dark.
The orc at the helm seemed to hear the movement on the deck, and his green eyes flashed, looking at Ji Xiaoou.
Ji Xiaoou's heart tightened and hid behind the mast beside him to avoid the orc's gaze.
The mast was thick and just blocked her body.
After a long time, I didn't hear any sound, but Ji Xiaoou still didn't dare to come out.
Until her whole body was stiff and her hands and feet were cold. Her nose was itchy and she wanted to sneeze. She quickly reached out to cover her nose and forced herself back.
Ji Xiaoou quietly exposed a pair of black eyes from behind the mast, carefully checking the situation of the bow.
The orcs in the helm did not notice anything abnormal and had already withdrawn their gaze.
Ji Xiaooushu breathed and began to observe the surrounding environment.
This boat is not big, it is a sailboat that is slightly higher than the raft. The ship depends entirely on wind and rudders.
A few wooden barrels were poured across the deck. Judging from the smell Ji Xiaoou just smelled, it should be fruit wine. Unexpectedly, the orcs here could make wine. Ji Xiaoou looked back while looking at it.
There was a flash of wooden door behind the deck, which was closed and looked a little old.
Ji Xiaoou was soaked all over, her clothes were stuck to her body, and she was cold and uncomfortable. The most urgent thing was to find a place to change her clothes.
She turned her head and looked at the wolf orc on the bow of the boat again. Seeing that the other party was not paying attention, she tiptoed to the door.
Fortunately, although the wooden door was heavy, there was no sound when pushed.
Ji Xiaoou successfully entered the door, and it seemed like the cabin of the entire ship, with all kinds of things piled up in a mess.
Ji Xiaoou had no flashlight and was unable to see things. He fumbled to the bottom of the stairs and stepped on something accidentally.
Very soft, like a bunch of clothes.
clothing?
Ji Xiaoou was happy. What she needed most now was dry clothes. She quickly took a step back and picked up one at random.
Expand it, hold it in your hand and sway it gently, wondering how the clothes here are different from those of the 21st century.
However, when she found out what kind of "clothes" it was, her face changed and she quickly threw it out of her hand.
This is not a dress, it is clearly the skin of a reindeer.
Ji Xiaoou spent a few days with Eric, so he also had some understanding of the fur characteristics of reindeer.
Although the fur of reindeer is thick, it is light and has good warmth.
Moreover, with the moonlight refracted outside the cabin, she saw that the abdomen and neck of these furs had obvious whiteness, which was exactly the same color distribution as Eric's fur.
Ji Xiaoou looked up and saw around him clearly.
Not only are there reindeer fur piled here, but there is a pile of sheepskin on the wooden barrel on the left, and a few layers of suede on the right.
The entire cabin is covered with the fur of herbivorous orcs.
Ji Xiaoou couldn't tell what his mood was.
In the 21st century, this behavior has spread to normal, and almost everywhere sells wild beasts' fur, and she is not qualified to argue with anything.
But after I came here, I met Eric and saw many animals turning into orcs. I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw these furs.
She finally knew the difference between the carnivorous species and the herbivorous species that Eric mentioned.
The strong prey on the weak and the strong will be a natural choice.
It is the law of survival in this world.

Ji Xiaoou took off the wet clothes on his body and took out a clean set of clothes from the space. The inside was a chiffon long-sleeved shirt and a short denim jacket on the outside. Originally, it was paired with a floral short skirt underneath, but Ji Xiaoou was worried that it was inconvenient, and it was too cold here, so he searched it in the space and found a pair of white trousers and put it on his body immediately.
There is no way to wear the windbreaker anymore. I forgot to take it off when I was diving just now, and now it is all soaked.
She had to hang her windbreaker and the changed clothes in the space.
Although the time in her space flows very slowly, the wind speed flows very normally. It usually takes only 2-3 days for the clothes she hangs to dry thoroughly.
Ji Xiaoou changed his clothes and quickly passed on his situation in his mind.
Before boarding the boat, she saw dozens of wolf orcs standing on the boat, with no other race, and this should be a ship with only wolf clans.
I wonder if the wolf orcs who changed her backpack during the day were on this boat?
If she is there, she still needs to find her backpack as soon as possible.
Ji Xiaoou's head hurts a little. Not to mention that the other party has many beasts, they each have a strong body like a wild beast. How could he deal with them?
It’s all the blame for that little leopard, who causes trouble for himself.
Where exactly has it gone?
Why follow the Wolf tribe people on this boat?
Ji Xiaoou planned to search elsewhere. It was full of fur from herbivorous orcs, and she couldn't stay.
However, as soon as I walked to the bottom of the stairs at the door of the cabin, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and then a sound came out-
"Why is the door of the cabin not locked?"
The voice was slightly hoarse, arrogant, and a little familiar.
Another voice was a little cramped: "Class leader, we got some wine tonight. You know, accidentally..."
The arrogant voice didn't say anything, and then heard the latter making a muffled groan, followed by the sound of hitting the floor.
Holden withdrew his foot, and didn't even look at the unlucky guy who was kicked to the ground by him. He stretched out his sharp wolf claws, placed them on the door panel, and pushed the door straight into.
*
Ji Xiaoou's heart stopped beating in an instant.
She finally remembered this sound, and the wolf orc who changed her backpack on the street during the day.
Clan leader?
Before I could think about this question, the other party had already pushed open the door and stepped on the wooden stairs, making a "crying" sound.
I quickly walked to the bottom of the bilge.
Ji Xiaoou held his breath and covered his mouth and nose with both hands, for fear of revealing a little breath.
She hid behind a pile of wooden barrels, with thick antelope skin piled up on the barrel, behind her was the wall of the cabin, and there was a door on the left, not knowing where to go.
Ji Xiaoou tried to push the door gently, but the door was locked and could not be pushed at all.
Ji Xiaoou was depressed and observed the situation outside through the gap between the wooden barrels.
The other party was holding a lamp, and a flame was burning inside, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the appearance of the two people.
One has a straight facial features and a black fur mark on the middle of his eyebrows. It was the wolf orc she saw today; the other had a wide mouth and long ears, which looked like an ordinary wolf orc.
Their conversation continues.
The wolf orc, who had a human facial features, kicked the reindeer fur at his feet and asked, "Is there enough fur?"
To be continued...
