What made Anne even more chilling was that just at the moment she touched the man's arm, she felt something cold, with a texture like armor, more like... scales...
This is also a cursed monster. He may be a snake monster!
Annie felt very scared. She was afraid of snakes and quickly backed away a few steps, but accidentally tripped over the tiger carcass behind her and lost her balance, about to fall to the ground.
A cold hand grabbed her arm, which was very strong, holding her firmly and pinning her down.
But the cold touch always reminded Annie of the appearance of a snake. She shuddered, quickly pushed away the man's hand, turned in another direction, and stepped back a few steps.
The man's eyes were very black, with a clear distinction between black and white. If placed in the aristocratic circle, they would be extremely attractive eyes. They would definitely attract many little girls and shine brilliantly at the social season. Unfortunately, they were born on this snake man, and Annie shuddered at the thought of the snake's eyes.
He stared at Anne with cold eyes, and Anne didn't know what he was thinking, only feeling uneasy and scared.
As the two were facing each other, the sound of many people approaching came from not far away. Anne turned around in panic and saw the light of torches in the distance. The voices sounded angry and anxious, as if they were looking for someone.
It's for her! Anne was shocked.
When she escaped, she first ran in one direction and should have been far away from the tribe. However, later on, due to the darkness of the forest, she turned around and walked towards the light. During this process, she wandered aimlessly and randomly, but unexpectedly ended up back where she started, in the forest not far from the tribe!
She knocked the leader unconscious, which must be a very serious crime. If they were caught again, she would be worse than dead!
As the voices of the group grew closer and the light of the torches became brighter, Anne became anxious. If she ran away, there would be a big commotion, and once they were discovered, with her physical strength and speed, she would surely be caught.
She cast a look of distress at the man.
Although this may be a snake man, he saved himself anyway and didn't hurt himself. And he hunted alone and was able to kill a huge tiger alone, so he must be very capable. Maybe he can help me escape from that barbaric tribe.
She ignored her fear of snakes, took the man's hand again, looked at him anxiously, pointed at herself, then pointed in the direction of the group of people who had come looking for her, and finally pointed at the dead tiger on the ground, meaning "If they find me, I will die like this tiger."
Annie didn't know if the man understood, but she was so anxious, he should know that the group was looking for her. Now this man was her only support, she could only use all her skills to beg him to take her away.
But a hint of impatience flashed in the man's eyes, and he pulled away the arm she was holding and took a few steps back.
Just then, the people in the tribe found them.
Just then, someone shouted loudly, and everyone came around and surrounded them.
However, when they saw the two of them, the seven or eight strong men who looked like iron towers did not immediately approach, but instead posed for battle, holding up stone spears and snarling at them, making some vicious and strange noises. This posture was very similar to hunting extremely powerful beasts.
Annie knew that this was definitely not because of herself. To capture her, they didn't need such a big battle. A man could capture her and carry her back. Therefore, they must have done this because of the snake man.
Was he a vicious beast that deserved such vigilance from a group of werewolves?
At this moment, the leader appeared, with blood still dripping from his head. The dark red blood on his head looked particularly ferocious. His face was dark and gloomy, and when he saw Annie, his eyes suddenly turned ferocious, but this ferociousness passed quickly, and he soon noticed the man beside her.
The leader suddenly began to speak. Although she couldn't understand what he was saying, Anne could tell that his tone was calm and that he wasn't threatening or provoking. Moreover, the leader's gaze kept flickering towards her. Could it be that the two of them were talking about her?
Annie quietly grabbed the hem of the man's fur coat and shook it helplessly and fearfully, trying to show her unwavering resolve - she wanted to follow him and never return with the tribe.
But the man listened for a while, lowered his head and looked at Annie, and there was no emotion in his black eyes.
All they heard was a faint word like "damn", and then all the werewolves let out a sigh of relief and put down their spears.
Annie didn't understand. What did the leader say to him? What does 'Dame' mean in this place? Why did the group of werewolves suddenly breathe a sigh of relief?
Just as her heart was rising to her throat and she was confused, she saw the man squat down, grab the back of the tiger on the ground, and drag the huge tiger body deeper into the jungle. The werewolves gave way to him one after another, and he walked away without looking back at Annie.
Annie yelled behind him, but he ignored her and disappeared into the dark forest without a trace.
Anne's tears fell down uncontrollably. She cried out of deep despair, and even more so out of the sudden loss of hope after having found it.
The snake man gave her hope, and now he has thrown her into the abyss of despair. She hates herself for being powerless and for being a woman. If she were a man, she could still make a last ditch effort. If she failed, she would at least die. But in this world, the punishment for women who fail is often more terrible than death.
She would rather die than be a sex slave of the savages!
There was no doubt that she had been roughly caught, with her hands tied with rattan or something like that, and the leader looked at her coldly, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
She saw the leader say something quietly, and she was carried up by a man, and the group returned to the tribe.
Contrary to what she expected, she was not thrown into the chief's tent to continue the ravages of just now, but was tied to a wooden post near the entrance of the tribe with strong vines. After binding her tightly, no one came to torture her, but just left her tied like this, and everyone went to their tents to sleep.
Anne had already made the worst plan, but she didn't expect that the punishment she got was just being tied up.
But soon, she stopped feeling lucky.
The night was fine, and despite being tied up, she was able to sleep a little, with only sore wrists and some tiredness from standing. There was no particular pain.
But in the daytime, everything is different.
The scorching sun shone down on her head, almost melting her. The most terrible thing was that no one gave her food or water. All those who passed by her were indifferent as if they didn't see her. The lack of water and exposure to the sun made her weak, and she began to see golden flowers and felt drowsy.
