Chapter 277 Human Females Fleeing in the Beast World 5
He had already done her a great favor by bringing her this information.
After delivering the food, the young man returned to the kitchen, set up the food cart, wiped the sweat from his brow, and breathed a sigh of relief. He had done it.
Before he could catch his breath, a rabbit-headed beastman dressed in a chef's uniform walked in. She was holding a steel rod and glared at the young man, cursing, "You bastard, are you slacking off again? Hurry up and peel all the carrots in that bowl."
Hu Le said in a panic, "I'll go right away, right away."
The rabbit-headed beastman stood to the side, his eyes fixed on Hu Le, muttering curses as he spoke: "You humans are just born inferior goods. You dawdle when you're asked to do any work. If you weren't still somewhat useful, I would have thrown you to the wolves long ago."
Hu Le listened to these harsh words, biting his lip and remaining silent, but his hands moved even faster.
But the more anxious he was, the more likely he was to make a mistake. Before he knew it, the peeler had cut his finger, and blood gushed out instantly.
"Oh dear, you useless thing! You can't even peel a carrot properly, and you even made blood, dirtying my floor!"
Upon seeing this, the rabbit-headed beastman became even more enraged and raised his steel rod, ready to strike Hu Le.
Hu Le turned pale with fright, instinctively shrinking back and stammering, "I...I'm sorry, I...I'll be careful next time, please...please forgive me this time."
The rabbit-headed orc snorted coldly, finally putting down the steel rod and saying disdainfully, "Hurry up and wipe the blood clean, then get back to work. If you don't finish today, you can forget about sleeping."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely finish it."
Hu Le nodded quickly, covered his injured finger with his other hand, wiped the blood on his clothes, and continued to peel the carrot.
Meanwhile, Shen Chumo quietly waited for night to fall in her room.
There was no clock in her room, so she could only lean against the door and listen to the sounds outside. The moon was already high in the sky. The moon in this world was big, round and bright. The moonlight shone on the earth, as if draping everything in a silvery veil, adding a touch of tranquility to this originally dangerous and oppressive arena.
When the sound of the guards walking away could be heard outside the door.
Shen Chumo tiptoed to the window, leaned out, and cautiously observed the situation outside.
The corridor outside was quiet; the orc guards who usually patrolled were nowhere to be seen, so the news must have been accurate.
Shen Chumo no longer hesitated. She first firmly fixed one end of the rope she had prepared, made from a bed sheet, to the window frame, then gripped the rope tightly with both hands and slowly slid down the wall.
Her room was on the third floor, not too high. The moment she landed, she crouched down and quickly hid in the shadows, scanning her surroundings warily to make sure there was no potential danger.
The 10-minute shift change time is very short, and the layout of this fighting arena is intricate. She must find the map first, otherwise she will be caught sooner or later.
Moonlight spilled onto the ground, and an occasional breeze blew by, causing dappled shadows of trees to sway, as if adding to the tense atmosphere of her escape.
As Shen Chumo passed by a courtyard, she suddenly heard footsteps. Her heart jumped into her throat, and she quickly pressed herself against the stone pillar beside her, barely daring to breathe.
As two guards passed by her, Shen Chumo unconsciously gripped the blunt knife hidden in her clothes, her eyes fixed on their movements, ready to fight to the death if she were discovered.
Fortunately, the two guards simply walked past the other side of the stone pillar and did not notice her presence. Only after their footsteps faded into the distance did Shen Chumo breathe a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Hu Le, who was in the kitchen, finally finished all the work.
He sat wearily in the corner, gazing at the moonlight outside the window, his heart growing increasingly uneasy.
He both hoped that Shen Chumo could escape successfully, but he was also worried that if she were caught, and his act of passing on messages was discovered, he would be finished.
Hu Le held his head in his hands, his brows furrowed, deep in worry. But now that things had come to this, all he could do was pray silently in this endless wait.
Shen Chumo turned a few more corners and saw a familiar place—the dungeon where she had been before. She thought about the plight of the humans in the dungeon.
Shen Chumo's eyes flickered, but she did not choose to save them. Instead, she left in the opposite direction.
Firstly, she is not even able to protect herself yet, and secondly, she is new to this world and is not familiar with it. Even if she rescues them, how will so many people survive after they leave?
She's not a saint; even if she were to save someone, it would only be if she could protect herself.
Shen Chumo continued to wander among the buildings of the arena, following the route she remembered, and dodged several groups of orc guards who occasionally appeared along the way.
Ten minutes had passed, and the number of orc guards had increased. Shen Chumo frowned slightly and stopped. No, she had to find a place to hide first and go back at six o'clock in the morning.
Shen Chumo glanced around and suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
Hu Le rubbed his sore shoulders, preparing to go back to his dormitory to rest. He finished get off work late every night and had to get up at five o'clock the next morning for work.
These days go by day after day, and I have no idea when it will end.
Suddenly, a pair of hands covered Hu Le's mouth from behind. Before Hu Le could resist, he was dragged to a corner. Hu Le was terrified and struggled desperately, but found that he could not break free at all.
Shen Chumo quickly let go of her hand and said in a low voice, "It's me, don't make a sound."
Hu Le then realized it was the woman who had defeated Andrew. He first looked around in a panic, then lowered his voice and said quickly, "What are you doing here?"
After explaining to Hu Le, Shen Chumo asked, "Do you know of any safe places around here?"
Hu Le was a little annoyed. He had only told Shen Chumo the news on a whim. He thought that since they were both human, whether she succeeded or failed would be none of his business afterward.
But now Shen Chumo has come looking for him again. If Shen Chumo is caught, he will definitely suffer as well.
Hu Le frowned, feeling helpless. He wanted to refuse, but looking at Shen Chumo's expectant yet anxious eyes, he couldn't bring himself to ignore her.
He sighed and lowered his voice, saying, "Alright, I know a place, a storage room for miscellaneous items. It's in a pretty secluded location, and orcs rarely go there. I'll take you there."
A hint of gratitude flashed in Shen Chumo's eyes, and she quickly nodded, saying, "Thank you. My name is Shen Chumo. What's your name?"
