Chapter 626
At midnight, Christina shivered with cold and woke up with a start.
Ever since Samba and the Barbarian family took her away, they had been living outdoors. The
temperature varied widely from day to night, and the cold always awakened her at midnight.
The Barbarian family were sleeping soundly and snoring.
The firewood was burning briskly in the fire, and the firelight shadow was dancing. Samba sat by the
fire to keep watch at night, adding firewood to the fire from time to time. When he found Christina wake
up, he immediately turned to look at her.
Samba was huge, with a beard all over his face, and he gazed at her with great intensity.
Christina was very depressed about why Samba could not sleep at night, and she could not find a
chance to escape.
It was already the seventh day since they set off. At first, Christina thought that they were going to the
Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Barbarian Market. She longed to find Lucy and herpanions, but they chose to turn right at a fork in
the road.
Christina knew that the road on the left led to the Barbarian Market because she had been there.
However, they turned right and hurried on their way, so Christina didn’t know where to go.
Christina couldn’t sleep for the rest of the night. With a hemp rope around her waist, she wrapped her
arms around her knees and gazed at the starry river in the dark sky in confusion.
“Is that a firework?” She remembered that someone fired a signal re into the sky like fireworks a few
days ago.
Moreover, she guessed that the re location was probably on the slope where Samba lived before.
“Who is it?” Christina had been thinking about it.
However, it was a pity.
If she and Samba left a dayter, they would meet those people.
Just as she was absorbed in her thoughts, Samba suddenly came over, handing her the big kettle with
his strong hands.
Christina was startled and looked up, knowing that this meant that the kettle was for her.
She shook her head to show that she didn’t need it.
They had been on their way for the past few days, and they were very thirsty. The Barbarian family
didn’t prepare
water because they were thirsty-resistant. However, when they saw that both Samba and Christina had
kettles with them, their greedy eyes showed that they wanted to take possession of them, but they did
not dare to take action for fear of Samba.
When they were thirsty, the barbarians would pick a sulent nt that looked like a cactus. Although
it was bitter and astringent, it had a high water content.
Water resources were very precious on this ind, so food was hard-earned.
Samba ignored her refusal and put the kettle at her feet without a word.
Then, Samba sat with his back towards her beside the fire.
Christina gazed at the kettle beside her feet in a daze.
“Where are we going now?”.
She mustered up her courage and asked Samba.
“I don’t like the Barbarian family. Samba, don’t stay with them. They’ll lead you into a wrong way.”
“Can you take me to the Barbarian Market? I want to find my friend, and I’ll give you a lot of gold in
return!”
Christina had not chatted with Samba for a long time. Ever since the Barbarian family arrived, she had
instinctively distanced herself from Samba.
However, she had been depressed for a few days. She had never been a person with deep thoughts,
so she couldn’t help but say out.
As usual, Samba did not know what she was talking about, but he would turn around and gaze at her
gravely as if he was listening very carefully.
Christina did not expect Samba to understand. She was too lonely on this ind and wanted to chat
with someone to relieve her feelings.
At dawn the next day, they continued on their journey.
Samba always carried her on his shoulder, so Christina didn’t feel tired. At first, she felt ufortable
but gradually got used to it.
Like the day before, the Barbarians woke up at dawn and continued their journey without a fixed time to
eat and
rest
At noon, the sunshine was so fierce that Christina felt dizzy. She opened her little kettle and took a
small sip. The Barbarian family would pick some leaves along the way to quench their thirst.
Suddenly, a group of dark birds appeared in the sky and flew past in panic as if a force had intruded
and broken the original bnce, putting thend in turmoil.
Samba and the Barbarian family immediately stopped and looked behind them.
Christina also turned to look in the direction where the birds flew out. It was the opposite of her current
path as if it was the Barbarian Market.
What happened at the Barbarian Market surprised the animals to flee.
Samba and the Barbarian family let out a rough roar. They roared at the sky as if they were crazy,
especially the female barbarian. She picked up the stones on the ground and threw them into the sky
fiercely as if she wanted to drive away evil spirits.
Samba and the Barbarian family were all afraid.
Christina could feel that they were shouting angrily at the sky as if they were trying to drive away
something unknown, but it also revealed their fear.
Christina got nervous.
She looked in the direction of the Barbarian Market and felt uneasy. “What exactly happened there?”
No one answered her question.
Samba and the Barbarian family might know what happened, but Christina could notmunicate with
them. She could only feel their unease as they continued on their way.
Samba and the Barbarian family sped up their journey, and they did not even rest at night. After five
days, Christina finally saw the destination.
She was shocked that the mountain stronghold was vast, surrounded by tall walls. In the rolling hills,
the towering walls formed an extended ring.
What surprised her the most was that there seemed to be full of female Barbarians!
Standing outside the high wall of the mountain stronghold, Christina was ced on the ground by
Samba. She looked into the mountain stronghold and saw that all the people were females. She was
shocked and turned to look at the Samba and the others,
At this moment, Samba was talking to the Barbarian family, and the way they spoke was still crude.
Then, Christina saw that the female barbarian threw three small pieces of gold at Samba.
Suddenly, she had a bad feeling.
Did Samba want to sell her?
The female barbarian walked to Christina, grabbed the hemp rope around her waist, and dragged her
into the mountain stronghold.
Christina resisted subconsciously.
The female Barbarian immediately became fierce due to her resistance. She raised her big fist and was
about to hit Christina. Samba quickly stepped in the middle and muttered a few words in a hurry.
The female Barbarian roared back impatiently and rushed over to grab Christina’s long hair. Christina
felt pain, but she was no match for her strength.
Samba seemed worried. He suddenly picked Christina up and raised her, barely escaping the drag of
the female barbarian. Christina was suffering from the shock.
The female barbarian stared at him fiercely and roared at him angrily.
She seemed to say that if Samba took her money, he should give her the person!
Christina’s face was pale, and her heart was beating fast. She felt humiliated for being sold by the
Barbarian, but at the same time, she hoped that Samba would not give her to a female Barbarian
because she had no good impression of her.
However, Samba seemed to havepromised after hearing the female Barbarian’s angry scolding.
He put Christina on the ground again and pushed her back with his thick palm.
He meant that Christina should go in with the female barbarian obediently.
Christina’s face turned pale, and she felt her blood froze. The female barbarian finally dragged her into
the mountain stronghold, and Christina felt a sense of despair.
She was dragged to the gate, where the massive wooden door was more than ten meters high.
Christina turned around from time to time and found that Samba stood on the same spot, gaz?ng a.
