186: Chapter 186 Wash it clean and put it in the pot?

Watching the two people talking and laughing in front of her.

Mia, kneeling in the mud, felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair welling up from the bottom of her heart.

There was no escape.

In this cruel prairie, besides vicious humans, there were also giant monsters...

A weak demi-human race like theirs simply had no way to survive.

Being eaten by a monster was only a moment of pain.

But falling into the hands of these thugs meant not only being used as rations but also suffering inhumane torture.

Mia thought of her sisters who had died, her eyes filled with determination!

Even if she died, she would take someone down with her!

Mia gritted her teeth tightly, clutching the stone dagger she had been hiding behind her back.

Her bloodshot eyes stared at Xia Li, who was closest to her.

Taking advantage of the moment Xia Li turned her head to speak with Lu Yuan.

Mia suddenly lunged from the mud!

Exerting the last trace of strength in her body, she gripped the dagger and, like a maddened little beast, pounced straight toward Xia Li's fair neck.

Go to hell!

Human!

Thud!

A dull sound of impact rang out.

Mia's vision blurred, and she was instantly pinned down by an irresistible force.

Xia Li didn't even turn her head; she simply reached back and precisely caught the crude stone dagger.

Crack.

The self-defense dagger that had accompanied Mia for years was easily crushed in Xia Li's hand like a crisp cracker.

Xia Li slowly turned her head.

She looked at Mia, who was standing frozen in place, a beautiful smile curling at the corners of her mouth.

However, in Mia's eyes, this smile was a hundred times more terrifying than a demon from hell.

"Little Bunny Baby."

Xia Li's voice was gentle, yet it carried a dangerous undertone. "You're not being a good girl."

Mia's entire body went stiff.

It was over.

The assassination had failed; what awaited her next would surely be the torture of being disemboweled.

She closed her eyes in despair, prepared to be brutally killed.

As it turned out, the expected execution did not happen.

Pow!

Xia Li extended a fair finger and gave Mia a moderately firm flick on her smooth forehead.

"Ugh..."

"Ichu!"

Mia winced in pain, subconsciously covering her forehead as a cute cry of pain escaped her lips uncontrollably.

Hearing this soft and adorable sound, Xia Li's eyes instantly lit up, and the look of affection on her face grew even stronger.

Standing to the side, Lu Yuan watched this scene and shrugged helplessly.

"Be careful while you play."

Lu Yuan curled his lip. "Haven't you heard the old saying? Even a cornered rabbit will bite."

After speaking, Lu Yuan turned to look at the messy battlefield and pressed the all-army communication channel.

"Logistics Team, hurry up and clean up the battlefield!"

"While you're at it, set up the pots and boil some water. Give these little things a good wash!"

Lu Yuan looked at the mud-and-blood-covered Velvet-Ear Tribe with disdain. "They're filthy; there isn't a single clean spot on them."

"Got it, Boss! Right away!"

"These little guys probably have fleas all over them!"

The execution efficiency of the Red Wolf Guild had always been number one in the server.

In less than five minutes.

In a large open space, several ultra-large metal iron pots with diameters of several meters were set up.

In the iron pots on the left, clear groundwater was being heated to a boil by roaring fires, sending up large clouds of white steam.

In the iron pots on the right, Old Ma from the Logistics Team was busily heating up oil.

Chunks of Mutated Wolf Meat the size of washbasins, along with various dehydrated vegetables, were boldly tossed into the boiling oil pots.

Sizzle—

The hot oil bubbled, and a rich meaty aroma instantly filled the entire camp.

But this bustling scene of "cooking" was, in the eyes of the hundreds of Velvet-Ear Tribe members, the most terrifying execution ground in the world.

They looked at the boiling water on the left, then at the bubbling oil on the right, and at the humans who were frantically pouring ingredients into the pots.

All the Velvet-Ear Tribe girls were so scared that they huddled together, wailing loudly.

They communicated in the Velvet-Ear Tribe language in despair.

"Waaaah... the water is boiling, they're going to toss us into the pot and cook us!"

"Sister Mia, I'm scared... I don't want to be thrown into the oil pot and fried..."

"Waaaah... that human leader just said he thinks we're dirty and wants to wash us clean before eating us..."

Dozens of little lolis cried heart-wrenchingly, their tears washing white streaks through the mud on their faces.

Hearing the crying, Xia Li immediately ran over.

"Hey, hey, hey? Why are you all crying?"

At this moment, Xia Li didn't have even a hint of her Ice Mountain Queen persona.

She crouched on the ground, her eyes overflowing with maternal affection.

Looking at these tiny things crying their eyes out, Xia Li felt like a worried kindergarten principal.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."

However, no matter how much Xia Li softened her voice, the Velvet-Ear Tribe members ignored her, continuing to huddle and cry among themselves.

In their eyes, this woman was the head chef responsible for skinning and gutting them!

Xia Li sighed helplessly and shook her head.

"Logistics Team!"

Xia Li turned and shouted, "Is the water ready yet?!"

Wang Jian from the Logistics Team immediately poked his head out from behind a large iron pot and wiped away sweat.

"It's ready, Sister Li!"

"The temperature is just right, we can wash them anytime!"

"Good."

Xia Li turned her head, her gaze locking onto a Little Rabbit Girl in the Velvet-Ear Tribe group who was the smallest, appearing to be only about three or four years old in human terms.

She reached out both hands, gently grabbed the Little Rabbit Girl's waist, and lifted her up.

"Waaaaah—!!!"

Suddenly being snatched into the air, the Little Rabbit Girl was so terrified that her limbs flailed wildly, and she cried until her voice went hoarse.

"Eh?! Don't cry, don't cry!"

Xia Li clumsily patted the Little Rabbit Girl's back, trying to soothe her with what she thought was her gentlest voice.

"Go take a nice bath and get all clean and fragrant, then we'll eat some delicious meat!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The little girl seemed to have heard some kind of terrifying demonic whisper; her eyes rolled back, and she cried even harder.

It was over!

She was going to be washed clean and fragrant to be eaten!

Sitting slumped in the mud, Mia watched helplessly as the youngest child of the tribe was taken away.

She bit her lip hard, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

These barbaric humans!

They really were picking the most tender one to eat first!

An unprecedented, overwhelming killing intent and hatred rose in Mia's heart.

As long as I can leave here alive today!

I swear!

I, Mia, will definitely avenge my clansmen!

I will kill all the humans in the world!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Just as the fire of revenge in her heart had ignited and her momentum reached its peak, in the next second.

Whoosh.

A powerful hand suddenly grabbed Mia's collar from behind.

A Mecha Girl from the White Hunt Guild easily hoisted Mia into the air like a little chick.

"Sister Li, then I'll wash this one!"

The Mecha Girl looked Mia, who was covered in blood and filth, up and down and grinned.

"This one looks like she's hurt the worst and is covered in blood. I'll have to give her a good scrubbing!"

Caught in mid-air with her limbs hanging weakly, Mia felt the fire of revenge that had just ignited in her heart being instantly extinguished by a bucket of ice water.

She looked at the large iron pot in the distance emitting billowing steam, and her heart went cold.

It was over.

Her grand ambition of revenge hadn't even begun.

Was she about to become human rations just like that?!
