After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 252 Be careful, you might get caught and made into snake soup!
With indescribable feelings, Liang He returned to her room and lay down on the bed, feeling somewhat tired.

Cedril and Landon were nowhere to be found and did not return with her.

Seemingly sensing her sadness, Xiao Hei, who had secretly slipped out of the bathroom, skillfully climbed onto the bed and gently curled up on her wrist.

"Little Black? You're back."

Feeling the cool, soft sensation on her skin, Liang He raised her hand and stroked the growing little horn on Xiao Hei's head, and began to tell him about her troubles.

"We, as humans, enjoy all kinds of resources, yet now we have to ask animals to sacrifice themselves to protect this sea..."

Although the orca grandmother was only tasked with acting as a weight-bearer, the existence of this eerie sea area inherently signifies danger.

Liang He dared not imagine how heartbroken the orca clan would be if Grandma Orca really paid the price with her life for this.

"..."

Elius, whose little horn was being touched, felt a strange, tingling sensation from head to toe that made him both uncomfortable and fascinated.

He didn't know how to comfort Liang He, because in his world, this wasn't a problem worth worrying about.

Let alone these animals, even humans and beastmen are beings that can be sacrificed at any time in the eyes of certain high-ranking people.

"Why are you ignoring me?"

Liang He gently poked Xiao Hei's tail. She realized that since she was able to communicate with animals without any problems, she rarely heard Xiao Hei's voice anymore.

Hearing Liang He's slightly aggrieved voice, Elius almost lost his composure and wanted to respond immediately.

But considering the chain of consequences, I held back.

"..."

As long as he doesn't open his mouth, Liang He won't know what he's thinking; this is how he keeps his secret.

Elius hooked the tip of its tail around Liang He's mischievous fingers, and then rubbed its little head against her fingertips as a form of comfort.

"Fine... if you don't want to talk to me, I can't force you."

Liang He didn't actually expect to get a solution from Xiao Hei; she was just feeling down and wanted to vent.

When you encounter a problem, the only person who can truly solve it is yourself.

"Little Black, I'm going out for a bit. Be good and don't run around, okay? Be careful or you'll get caught and made into snake soup!"

Suddenly remembering something, Liang He jumped out of bed, almost throwing Elius off.

Once Liang He regained his footing, he shook his head, still feeling dizzy. Before he could recover, Liang He put him back on the bed and gave him a little scare.

"..."

Watching Liang He leave the room quickly, a smile flashed in Elius's dark eyes.

She's even learned to scare people... with snakes, how cute.

Elius nestled in the corner of the bed, hiding himself under the pillow, reminiscing about his daily life with Liang He, and closed his eyes contentedly.

It wasn't until Liang He returned to the room with Mo Jin Wang Hu and Cang Lan Lie Ying that he lazily half-opened his eyes, peeking out a small black head from between the pillows.

"Finally, I can get a good night's sleep."

Liang He leaned back on the sofa, while Mo Jin Wang Hu and Cang Lan Lie Ying skillfully lay down beside her. This heartwarming scene was somewhat jarring to Elius's eyes.

How wonderful it would be if they were all gone, and Liang He only had him by her side.

"Cedril, Landon, wipe your feet before going to bed. I'm going to wash up first."

The ship was quite clean, unlike the wilderness, so Liang He didn't need to wipe their paws clean; they could just wipe the dust off themselves on a towel.

After Landon finished fishing today, Liang He had already washed his paws, so there was no need to worry about him staining the sheets with a fishy smell. "Awoo~"

"Wow~"

Cedril and Landon both knew that Liang He was very tired today, so they obediently agreed to her arrangement and started the self-service foot-rubbing mode.

By the time they finished getting ready for bed and were about to warm the blankets for Liang He, Xiao Hei had already disappeared.

Landon always felt something was off about the mysterious and unpredictable Little Black, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Don't you think there's something wrong with Xiao Hei?

Landon spoke quietly to Cedril in Hawk Language, afraid that if he spoke too loudly, Liang He or Xiao Hei would hear him, since they were talking behind each other's backs.

Faced with Landon's suspicions, Cedril simply yawned lazily.

[You're overthinking things. He's been by Liang He's side for so long, and he hasn't done anything out of line, has he?]

From Cedril's perspective, Blackie rarely even competed for attention, often hiding in some corner to hibernate, and was not a threat at all.

It wasn't that Cedril was too naive or underestimated his opponent, but from his perspective, Liang He was very good to them all, so why would Xiao Hei do something to betray Liang He?
[Xiao Hei deliberately tried to scam Liang He back then, how can you be sure he didn't intentionally approach her?]

As the first commander, Landon was indeed more strategic than Bidriel, and he was also much more cunning.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been given the title of "Green Tea Eagle" during his evolutionary period.

[Liang He has a special attraction for evolved beastmen. You can't possibly not see that the little black snake is also a beastman, can you? Isn't that normal?]

Although the orc couldn't determine whether the other party was in the evolutionary stage, he was certain that Little Black was also an orc.

Based on Cedril's daily observations, the Black One, who often hibernates, is quite consistent with the characteristics of an evolved orc.

Regardless, I still think we should be vigilant. You've probably noticed that the rebels have been keeping an eye on Liang He.

Langdon neither confirmed nor denied Cedril's words.

From his perspective, however, he needed to consider Liang He's safety, which was something Cedril was very concerned about.

Okay, you're right. So I'll take care of the land, and you take care of the air?

As a federal marshal, he was puzzled but listened to the advice.

However, if he were a stubborn person, he probably wouldn't have been able to become a federal marshal. After all, whether a war can be won depends not only on force, but also on intelligence.

【Row. 】

After the two of them discussed it, Liang He had just finished taking a shower, changed into her pajamas, and came out of the bathroom.

Liang He was probably tired today, and without checking whether they had really wiped their feet, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

"Alright! Everyone, put on your diving gear, get into the submarine, and begin training with the orcas!"

Early in the morning, Liang He heard the well-trained voices of Leila and the others on the deck.

To ensure adequate preparation and maximize the safety of those venturing into the eerie sea, Leila and her team set the date for tomorrow.

"Today's task is to get used to working with orcas, so that we don't panic and accidentally injure them when we enter unpredictable waters."

At Liang He's repeated requests, everyone was very grateful for the orca's help and promised to do their best not to harm the orca during the exploration so that it could return safely.

The orca grandmother seemed to sense the humans' friendliness and cooperated well with their training.

"understand!"

"Eek~"

The explorers and the orca responded to Leila's commands simultaneously. At that moment, the image of humans and animals harmoniously protecting nature was etched into everyone's minds.
