StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 219 Sold

Although I don't know who he is, he didn't kill me after I tied him up, so he must be... a good person...

She glanced up and secretly looked at his mask.

They forcibly changed the word "good person" to "good dog".

Anubis... is it a dog or a cat?

forget.

At this moment, Anubis saw that she had stopped drinking water. Although they were different species and did not speak the same language, he was not stupid.

After observing her facial expression and determining that she had drunk enough water, he took the water bag and drank from the opening.

Just as Shen Qingqing was about to reach out to stop him, she saw him drink water directly from the bottle.

The bobbing Adam's apple indicated that this tall creature was male and seemed to have no concept of hygiene.

Otherwise, they wouldn't drink water directly from the bottle opening.

Besides, that water sac had been touched by one of her Zerglings.

But Anubis didn't care.

Or rather, their entire race doesn't care.

Shen Qingqing glanced around furtively. There were only orange-yellow walls made of bricks, with incomprehensible characters carved on them.

It bears some resemblance to the writing found in the ancient Egyptian pyramids.

Shen Qingqing wanted to get closer to take a look, but as soon as she made a move, Anubis, who was drinking water, suddenly pounced on her as if some condition had been triggered.

He pinned her down, the hard ground digging painfully into her back, and then a beastman mask suddenly appeared in front of her, making her tremble involuntarily.

"Don't leave..."

Anubis growled in a low voice.

The stray hairs at Shen Qingqing's temples were tickled and hot from his breath, but she really didn't dare to move at all.

Who knows if Anubis might just tie her up with strips of cloth, remove her internal organs, stuff her with spices, and then seal her in a sarcophagus to make her a dried mummy, just like he did to the Pharaoh.

Legend has it that this is how mummies are made.

The ancient Egyptians believed that in the distant future, they would possess superhuman medical technology capable of resurrecting mummies, thus enabling pharaohs to live forever.

but……

Shen Qingqing fell into deep thought.

If they're all dried out, can they still survive?

But clearly, now is not the time to worry about that.

Because Anubis suddenly produced a blade of grass and tied it around her neck.

The straw tied around her neck reminded her of the slave trade in ancient times, when slave traders would always stick a straw in the slaves' hair.

Shen Qingqing tried her best to break free, but she wondered if the straw had also been tempered like a mummy, as it was extremely resilient.

She tried for a long time but couldn't untie the knotted hay.

Anubis watched Shen Qingqing for as long as she struggled.

The condescending gaze, as if looking down at the owner of a pet struggling in vain, made her take a deep breath.

Perhaps realizing she couldn't break the hay, and exhausted, Shen Qingqing simply ignored Anubis squatting beside her.

Anubis would do anything as long as it didn't endanger her life.

Because it won't be long before her mental energy is replenished, hmph.

Hay, ropes, and heavy iron chains—nothing is a problem for them!

As for now... Shen Qingqing lazily raised her eyes, and what she saw was still the well-built V-line.

Now the insects are under the eaves and have no choice but to bow their heads.

Anubis seemed to focus his attention on the trinkets rather than on her.

Right now, he's fiddling with a few small wooden figurines.

Although Anubis in front of me looks very tall and doesn't seem to be good at handicrafts, he is surprisingly skillful.

In his hands, a piece of wood is transformed into a lifelike kitten in no time with the help of a carving knife.

The movements were so fast that Shen Qingqing couldn't even see them clearly and could only make them clear by slowing down the footage again and again.

The straw around her neck seemed a little too tight; she felt her heart beating fast and her breathing becoming rapid.

It's like the symptoms of wearing a sweater inside out.

"Help...help me! I don't want to die!"

Shen Qingqing used her last breath of oxygen to plead for help from the culprit.

Please, what kind of insect dies in such an embarrassing way?

Even if she were unarmed and facing a tiger, she could still roar, "Come and bite me if you dare!" and die with some dignity.

But being strangled by a single blade of grass... seems to have never happened before in history.

She doesn't want to die like this, waaaaah...

Seeing Shen Qingqing sobbing and occasionally straightening her back, Anubis only thought that the slave he had taken was a bit sick. He didn't think at all that his technique was too skillful, which confused the difference between the physical condition of ordinary slaves and the insect queen, leading to the tragic end of the delicate insect queen being strangled to death.

He thought it was just a little trick the slave was using to escape.

Wanting to see how she would perform with her arms crossed, Shen Qingqing pulled his hand and placed it on her delicate neck.

Oh, so he was about to be strangled to death.

Anubis tore the hay in half and replaced it with a new one.

Having regained oxygen, Shen Qingqing collapsed to the ground, vowing that she would definitely study foreign languages ​​in her next life.

At least don't let it be like this time, where she was almost dead and people still thought she was acting.

Shen Qingqing was held in Anubis's arms as they walked out of the pyramid.

Sure enough, just as she had thought, Anubis lived inside the pyramids.

I just don't know if there are any pharaohs here. If there are, I definitely want to come here to see the mummification process up close when I get back.

A place resembling a small market came into view. Shen Qingqing was overjoyed and struggled to escape, but Anubis pressed her head down and held her in his arms.

"There's a market!" Shen Qingqing's eyes lit up.

So he wasn't the only one wearing the Anubis mask here.

Shen Qingqing looked at the countless 'Anubis' figures in the market and felt that she couldn't take it all in.

Holding his Anubis, who seemed to be a merchant, he displayed the carved kitten on his stall, while placing Shen Qingqing aside. He didn't speak, but simply 'watched' the people coming and going through his mask.

Shen Qingqing was about to tell him that this wasn't how you did business; you had to at least open your mouth and call out to sell, otherwise how would people notice you? At that moment, another Anubis stopped at the stall.

She pricked up her ears and listened as they began to speak in birdsong.

It seems like they're haggling?

Shen Qingqing was amused by her own thoughts.

Unexpectedly...

Eh?

Eh hey hey?

Wasn't he bargaining with Anubis?

Shen Qingqing looked back and saw that the stall was empty.

Anubis, who had just brought her here, had disappeared into the vast crowd.

And myself...

Shen Qingqing looked down at the other end of the straw around her neck, in the hand of another Anubis.

For a moment, there was something she didn't understand.

She's been sold out and she's still helping the seller count the money!
