Quite unusual for a nomad, the Black Fox could not be called a passionate hunter. Of course, he liked to eat meat and from time to time, he took his rifle and shot a deer, but he saw no thrill in going after an animal that could neither fight back nor could it fully understand what was happening until the bullet hit it.
Hunting for these girls, however, was a different matter. They were intelligent and, as they had proved by their escape, also quite brave. In addition, they were armed and knew how to use their weapons. Such a hunt was what he called a challenge.
At dusk, he and his men had stopped at a little clearing. There was no way to follow the tracks in the dark and he knew that the women, who did not know the area well, could not get very far during the night. So, they enlighted a campfire and decided to rest until morning.
Unbeknownst to them, Charlotte and her maids watched the little posse from a point in the hills some mile away. They could only see the campfire, but they had recognized the Black Fox`s showy jacket from the distance.
„Shall we attack them and try to shoo them away?“, Ela asked, „they are only three men.“
Charlotte shook her head.
„No. Even if we would succeed, they would at least fire back and could wound or even kill some of us. But perhaps, we can sneak close and frighten their horses. If they have to chase these, we have a head start of some hours.“
Amila trembled. Such things were definitely too dangerous for the fearful maid. The current situation was just exiting enough. However, Ela said:
„I could try to get to their horses, loosen the reins and try my best. If they catch me, don`t wait for me.“
None of them liked the idea, but during the night they could not continue their trip either and if they waited for the sun, their pursuers, who knew the area better, would sooner or later get them.
By opening a few bullets and extracting the gunpowder, they built a makeshift fire cracker. Then, Ela handed her rifle to Amila.
„I can`t take it with me, dear. Just take care of it until I am back.“
„If you will come back“, Amila said with tears in her eyes. Ela hugged her and Charlotte and then, she began to slowly approach the campfire. She knew that the Black Fox was no fool and that he sure had posted one man as a guard, but the noises of the nocturnal forest hid her steps and so, she soon had reached the bushes near the little clearing. Ela could see that one man was sitting beside the horses whilst the two others, among them the Black Fox, were sleeping by the fire.
Ela drew her knife. The horses were tied to a large root, the reins left qite long to allow them grassing. Luckily, the root was placed between her and the guard who was some ten yards away.
Ela went down on the ground and crawled towards the root, always looking for the man so close. But he just lit a pipe and did not recognize the approaching woman. Now, she had reached the root and could cut the reins. The horses seemed to be asleep, not noticing her presence over the smell of the campfire`s smoke.
Now, there were a few extremely dangerous seconds lying ahead of Ela. She had to light the fuse of the cracker which would of course alarm the guard. Then, it would be some two more seconds until the cracker would explode. Three seconds in which the man could see her, attack her – and kill her.
„The first step`s the hardest“, Ela thought, reaching for the matches. Then, she looked at the man.
After a while, he put away his pipe and went over to a tree, obviously he wanted to pee. Ela took the opportunity and ignited the match. In the corners of her eyes, she could see the man fumbling on his waistband and turn around whilst she held the flame to the fuse. Then, when it burnt, she threw the cracker at the horses` feet and jumped up.
PFFFFTTT!
The sound of the cracker wasn`t louder than a faint cough and the horses looked a bit puzzled, but did not panic. Obviously, the powder had become wet or the paper had been too loosely applied.
Before Ela could even curse the failure of their plan, she felt a hard grip on her arm. She screamed and tried to stab the man with her knife, but he just threw her to the ground. Before she could stand up again, Ela saw that now the other two men were standing close to her, too.
„No fun if prey comes to hunter“, the Black Fox said in broken English.
Ela jumped up and tried to brake through, wielding her knife. For a while, she could keep the men at distance, but there was always one warrior standing between her and freedom.
BANG! BANG!
Distant shots told her that Charlotte and Amila tried to help her by faking an attack, but they were too far away to inflict any damage with their bullets.
Finally, a man slung his arms around Ela from behind and pinned her arms to her body. When the Black Fox approached, she tried to kick him, but he just grabbed her leg and said:
„Let knife fall.“
Ela continued to squirm for a while, but the firm grip pressed the air from her lungs and so, she finally let the knife fall. Immediately, the man who had grabbed her reached for her wrists and crossed them behind her back. The Black Fox smiled.
„One down, two to go.“

„He knows that we have split“, Ela thought. Then, her mind was distracted when the man reached for her shirt and ripped it apart.
***
Xiao tied the last knot of her mistress`s bondage and examined her work. She knew that after she had attacked Yamei, there was no way back for her. She could either offer her to her sister – or try to play her own game.
Yamei looked at Xiao with a mixture of horror, anger and disbelief. She grunted frantically through the cloths in and around her mouth, but there was little more she could do.
Xiao had stripped the unconscious girl stark naked – not to humiliate her, but as a part of an indistinct plan beginning to form within her mind. Then, she had tied her arms at wrists and elbows and wrapped a leather band around her fingers which she tied off tightly. Xiao slung a doubled rope around Yamei`s waist, threaded the ends through it and worked it between her legs from the front. She took care that the ropes disappeared between the unconscious girl`s labia before she tied them to her wrist bonds, forcing her hands deep between her buttocks. Then, she tied a long rope around Yamei`s ankles, threw the end over a thick branch and pulled until the other`s whole body was hanging in the air and only Yamei`s long open hair had contact to the earth. She secured the rope and began to gag the girl.
Drawing by hugues66
When she had worked Wanjun`s loincloth deep into the other woman`s mouth, she secured the gag with a thin cloth strap that cut into the corners of Yamei`s mouth. It would not silence her completely once she was awake, but Xiao wanted her to be able to make some noise. She took a small lantern, lit it and placed it beside the girl hanging upside down from the branch.
„Mph!“
A faint sound told her that Wanjun did not appreciate what she had done, although Yamei was her enemy, too. Soon, Yamei, who had regained consciousness, joined in the mmphing whilst Xiao hid some yards away, watching the pavillon`s entrance.
She knew that she was a better fighter than the two women inside, but they were two and they had firearms. In addition, her aim was to save Lin`s life. Her hope was that Mei could not resist the sight of her twin sister naked, bound and gagged.
Indeed, after a few minutes, she could see Mei step outside the door, holding a revolver.
„Wanjun? Was that your work? Or does anyone want to start negotiations with me? A life for a life?“
Xiao hesitated. If she handed Yamei over, perhaps, Mei would give her Lin in exchange. But that would not bring the feud to an end – unless Mei killed her sister and that fate Xiao did not want for Yamei. So, she thought of another trick.
„Princess Mei, I have decided that my Mistress`s claim to your position is wrong. So, I took care that she is no longer a threat to you. However, I don`t want to be on the run for the rest of my life. So, what is it you can offer me for her?“
As an answer, Mei fired into her direction, but Xiao, who had anticipated such a reaction, jumped forward. She knew a bit about revolvers – for example that they were a bit unwieldy if someone had as petite hands as Mei. She needed one hand to hold it and her other to cock it and that second was enough for Xiao to attack and send the other back through the open door with a mighty blow.
Mei landed on her back and the revolver flew away. Olga, who had been standing beside with another gun, was making a move towards her, but fast as lightning Xiao jumped inside, took the gun from the blonde`s hand and pointed at the two girls with the barrel.
„A weapon led by an amateur is less effective than an empty hand led by an expert“, Xiao mocked as Mei tried to get back to her feet and Olga raised her hands.
„Mmmhhmmm! Uuhhhhmmmm!“
Xiao stepped back without taking her eyes of Mei and Olga. In the middle of the room, there was a stone altar. Rumour had it that in ancient times it had been used for human sacrifices. It was a huge marble block with a smooth, plabe surface. This altar had an edgelength of some two yards and on the four corners, it had four holes chiseled into the desk. A legend sait that these were meant to allow the blood of the victims run into some prepared bowls, but now, they were used for a different purpose.
On the altar, Lin was lying in a spreadeagle. Her wrists and ankles were tied to the corners of the altar, forcing her to stretch her limbs and straining her petite body. The ropes were threaded through the holes and Xiao could see that the knots were out of reach for Lin`s fingers who were also wrapped with some thin cord to prevent the girl from working on her bonds.
„Mmhhhmmmmmpphh!“
Lin was stark naked, but Xiao could see that a part of her dress was now tied as a broad band over her mouth, covering it from nose to chin. The way her cheeks bulged told Xiao that her mouth was thoroughly packed underneath.
Indeed, Mei had taken great care in silencing the girl. After Olga had stuffed Zenobia`s knickers into Lin`s mouth, Mei had tied a cloth strip with a big knot in it between the girl`s lips, pressing the knot firmly against the silk wad already there. This cleave gag, she had secured with a strip of wet leather before tying the additional cloth layer over it.
However, Xiao had no interest in freeing her companion. Lin was totally loyal to Yamei and would not appreciate her plan. Instead, she told the other girls:
„Strip!“
Olga, who was no fighter, began to unbutton her shirt, but Mei fumed.
„You will never get away with that!“
„Maybe, maybe not. But from now on, once I will be caught, my fate will be a slow and painful death anyway. So, even if I kill you, it won`t make a difference for me. But maybe, for you?“
The look in Xiao`s eyes told Mei that the other girl was not kidding. So, she slowly removed her shoes. Xiao could see that she was secretly looking for the door.
„Oh, if you are expecting support from outside, I hope you brought more than the three girls that are now waiting bound and gagged for me to come back for them.“
Glancing angry, Mei took off her dress. Meanwhile, Olga had taken off her shirt and trousers, revealing that she had once again chosen not to wear any underwear. However, Xiao`s sharp eyes discovered another little detail. A short rope told her that the blonde Russian was obviously wearing some Ben Wa balls.
When Mei was only dressed in a purple loincloth, she refused to go further. Xiao smiled and said:
„Well, then we need something else to gag you with. Catch!“
She threw Yamei`s discarded loincloth to Mei who took the smelly silk with a puzzled expression. Mei had more than once found some gleeful fun in gagging her slaves with her or another woman`s used underwear, but she had never before experienced such a gag before.
„No! I won`t put that into my mouth!“
„It remains in the family. It`s your sister`s. Although they look exaxtly like those I have been wearing, before putting them into Yamei`s mouth.“
The thought of having to chew on Yamei`s used underwear of course increased the girl`s resistance and she let the cloth fall to the ground. Xiao decided to go on in a different way.
„All right, take that rope and tie your companion to that column. And better do the knots good and tight.“
Olga tried to protest, but stopped when Xiao pointed at her with the gun. Mei tied her wrists behind a column.
Drawing by hugues66
„Good. Now, lean to the one opposite.“
Staring daggers at Xiao, Mei obeyed and Xiao tied her wrists behind the column. Then, she stepped beside the girl, grabbed the loincloth and tore it from her.
„You bitch, you will be cut to pieces in front of my eyes!“
But Xiao ignored her and stepped over to Olga who watched her with fearful eyes. When Xiao gagged her with Mei`s underwear, she did not protest and parted her lips. Xiao ripped a sleeve from Mei`s dress and tied it between the Russian`s lips to secure the gag. Then, she took the end of the rope between Olga`s legs into her hand.
„Mhhmmmph! Uuuhhmmmmm!“
Blushing violently, the girl pressed her legs together and tired to turn away from the Chinese. But Xiao playfully pulled on the rope. Olga now had a humiliating choice: straining her vaginal muscles to keep the Ben Wa balls in or relaxing and allow Xiao to pull them from her. After some teasing, Olga let out a deep groan and allowed the Chinese to pull the three balls from her vagina. Xiao embedded them on Yamei`s loincloth. Stepping towards Mei, she carefully wiped the Ben Wa balls with the black silk.
„I think I will take them with me, as a reminder of this night – now that they are clean.“
„You piooouuuhhmmmphhh! Mmhhhhrrrrrrrr! Uuuhhhmmmmm!“
Mei flailed and squirmed and screamed into the gag as Xiao stuffed the now slightly wet loincloth into her mouth. But her attacker was standing so close she could not kick her and she took both hands to work the gag that now had the vile taste of two women`s bodies between her jaws. Then, she tied a thin cloth strap between her lips, gagging her exactly the same way as her sister.
„Mmmhrrrrrrrr! Uuhhhmmmmmmmmph! Nnnnngggggg! Mph!“
„Mmmhhmmmmmm!“, Olga added.
„Uuuhhmmmmph! Mmhhmmmmmmph!“
Lin tried to join the muffled conversation from the altar, too. Xiao stepped over to her former colleague.
„I am afraid you will have to stay like this for a while. But don`t be afraid, the next hours will be all but boring!“
***
Andrea was feeling tired and her butt ached when she reached the fields surrounding Dali by the middle of the night. The thin silk of her knickers had done little to protect her from the horse`s back and since she was barefoot and dressed only in the robe, she also felt cold. It had been an idiotic idea to go here alone and that ill prepared, but she knew that Zenobia was somewhere inside these walls and so, she persisted.
At that time of the night, the doors were all closed and besides, everyone would see at once that she was no Chinese. So, Andrea tried to get some camouflage before she would wait for the morning. Around Dali, there were some little villages and some farmhouses and Andrea managed to steal some trousers, a pair of boots and a cloth to wrap around her face. Her blue eyes would still be treacherous, but if she kept her head down, perhaps the guard would not notice it.
„I am coming, beloved, just a few more hours“, she whispered before she went to sleep in an abandoned barn.
***
Charlotte felt terrible. Though it had been Ela`s idea to get to their pursuer`s camp, she was her mistress and had allowed her to get herself into danger. From the distance, they had not been able to see what the men had done to her, but now, they had Ela in their clutches.
„W-what can w-we do now?“, Amila stammered. She held the rifle in a grip so strong her knuckles turned white though Charlotte knew that Amila would not have been able to hit a door at blank distance.
„I don`t know, really. We can`t leave her back, but if we attack them now, they might kill her. Besides, now they know that we are around.“
Suddenly, a rustling could be heard somewhere quite close. Amila yelped and Charlotte rose her rifle, ready to fire. But instead of an attack, they heard a voice.
„Hey! Ladies! We have your friend!“
„Don`t answer him, or he knows where we are!“, Amila whispered fearfully.
„He knows about our position anyway. They must have followed Ela`s tracks and besides, they know that we are not far. He just does not want us to shoot!“
„Come here and she not hurt!“
„Mmmhhhhrrrrrrrrrrr!“
The cry that followed the words of the Black Fox was muffled, but it was a cry of sheer pain and it made the two women shiver.
„These bastards, they are torturing her!“, Amila sobbed with tears in her eyes.
Charlotte said nothing, but she also felt pity for her poor servant. But what could she do? If they surrendered, they would be in the same predicament.
„Mmmhhhhhrrrrrrrr!“
Whatever they did to Ela, the had once again done it to her.
„Stop it, please!“, Amila cried and stepped towards the direction of the cries. Charlotte wanted to hold her back, but suddenly, she heard a metallic sound behind them.
They spun around and saw a man standing behind them, his revolver pointing at them. Charlotte wanted to fire, but he was quicker and ducked whilst he fired himself. He was a good shootist, Charlotte had to admit. The rifle flew from her hands, but he had not hurt her at all. With a scream, Amila threw her own rifle away and raised her hands. The man now approached and Charlotte saw no chance in getting her weapon back without getting shot.
The Chinese tied their hands behind their backs. Then, he took the rifles and forced them to walf down the hill in front of him. After a while, they reached a place where the other two were waiting, together with Ela.
The Indian girl was stark naked and her hands were tied behind her back. Charlotte and Amila wondered why she thrusted out her bare boobs. None of them had ever experienced an elbow tie before. Ela`s lips were cleaved by a cloth knotted in her neck and the way her cheeks were bulging they could see her mouth was packed full with some cloth. Actually, it were the knickers that had gagged Andrea before. The Black Fox took one of her nipples between his fingers and squeezed it tightly.

„Mmmhhhhrrrr!“
„So, that`s how he made her scream“, Charlotte thought with a shudder. Though this did not inflict lasting damage, it looked very painful and it also was a very humiliating thing to do to a woman.
„So, you back in my arms. When morning, we will go to Dali. You make me much gold!“
***
The eyes of Olga and Mei widened when they saw Xiao bringing the naked, bound and gagged Wanjun inside. Mei had always considered Wanjun to be the best fighter she knew, but obviously she had found her master in Xiao.
Xiao had only released the girl`s knees from the trees she had been tied to and left her trussed up like she was. She was carrying her over her shoulder and now dumped her on the altar, just beside Lin who mmphed through her gag.
„I told you it would not be boring!“
Xiao took a rope, slung it around Lin`s waist and applied a tight crotch rope to the helpless girl who looked at her with anger and screamed through the packing in her mouth. Then, she turned Wanjun on her back and cut the rope tying her bound ankles to her crotch rope, but left her feet tied. She turned her back on her belly and placed her atop of Lin, despite her struggling. Xiao now reached for a stick leaning beside the altar and forced Wanjun`s bound legs over Lin`s head. Then, she took the stick and pushed it under Lin`s neck, taking care it was above the knees of the squirming Wanjun. Then, she took five prepared pieces of rope, each some yard in length. She tied Wanjuns knees to the stick, forcing her to keep Lin`s head between her thighs and the latter to look directly at the other`s butt and crotch. Two more ropes fixed the ends of the stick to Lin`s arms and the last piece was tied around her neck and to the stick, loose enough to not block her breathing, but tight enough to keep her head from too much movement.
Wanjun squirmed like an eel. Her breasts rubbed over Lin`s lower belly and she desperately tried to get away from the other girl. Smiling, Xiao took a long piece of cloth and slung it around Wanjun`s neck. With her braid tied to her crotch rope, she had to arch her head back and had no other possibility than to look directly into Xiao`s eyes.
„One last thing, and you may struggle all the way you want!“
„Mmmmhhmmphh!“
Xiao threaded the ends of the cloth around Wanjun`s neck through Lin`s crotch rope and tied it off. Now, the girl`s desperate attempts to get free would have some effect on her former colleague. Xiao padded Wanjun`s butt, then, she went to Mei. The concubine could not help emitting a squeal when Xiao drew her knife.
Drawing by hugues66
„Easy, Mei, easy. If you don`t struggle, you won`t get hurt.“
Xiao brought the blade close to Mei`s pubic area. The girl panted heavily and blushed from the humiliation, but did not dare to move as Xiao trimmed her pubic hair a bit.
„Now, you look exactly like like your twin sister. You will soon find out why this is so important!“
„Mmhhmmm?“
But Xiao had already disappeared. Some two minutes later, she came back, holding the arm of the still bound and gagged Yamei whom she forced to walk inside. Yamei froze to her tracks when she saw her twin sister equally naked, bound and gagged.
„Oh, don`t be shy, you must have seen each other like that before!“
„Mhhmmph!“
„Uuhhmmph!“
Xiao freed Mei`s wrists and tied her wrists and elbows exactly the way Yamei was tied. She also tied her fingers and connected her arm tie to a tight crotch rope, forcing the girl to mew when the rope disappeared between her labia. Then, she tied both sister`s legs at the thighs, above and below their knees and at the ankles. With two pieces of twine, she even tied their big toes. Then, she took two pieces of leather, moistened them with her canteen and tied them over the girls´s mouths to reinforce their gags. Xiao took great care that they looked exactly the same. Then, she turned Mei on her left and Yamei on her right and began wrapping a long rope around their bodies, pressing their nude fronts against each other, much to both sister`s discomfort. When Xiao had tied this rope off, she said:
„Now, maybe a night together will help you to get over your rivalry. I am sure the next night some woman from the town will come here for prayer and discover you, but I doubt that you will be able to get free on your own accord. Try all the way you want, but I doubt that you will succeed.“
A polyphonic mewing and grunting answered her as she approached Olga who watched her with fearful eyes. Xiao freed the naked Russian`s hands and retied them behind her back.
„I know that this would be interesting to watch, but I have other use for you. Just come with me.“
Taking a last look at the four naked, bound and gagged Chinese women, Xiao pulled Olga outside the pavillon. If her plan should work out, she would need the blonde with her.

Charlotte had always been keen on learning something new, but had definitely preferred to dispense with her latest experiences. Okay, the experience that being stripped naked in front of strangers would be a humiliating task, she could have guessed before, though it had never happened to her before. And even if she was blushing all over from not being able to hide her charms, she could see that the prudish Amila was suffering even more.
Charlotte had also had to learn that an elbow tie indeed forced her to thrust out her boobs, for now, all three girls were tied at wrists and elbows. The ropes dug painful into her flesh and she knew that she would not be able to loosen the knots on her own.
Then, there was the gag. Charlotte had been gagged before, but this time, her gag consisted of the loincloths of both Ela and Amila. Not only was this gag very humiliating, it was a big mass of cloth and it tasted vile, since none of them had had much opportunity to change their underwear during the last days and they had spent quite some time on horseback. Her own knickers were currently stuffed into Amila`s cheeks, making the frightened girl retch.
The men had torn their other clothes into pieces and tied strips of cloth between their lips, followed by others they tied over their mouths, covering their faces from nose to chin. The girls now stood in a row, retching and moaning and blushing under the men`s prying eyes.
Charlotte wondered why they had left them their boots, but she got distracted by a man who had cut a long stick from one of the trees. It was some inch thick and some two and a half yards long. Then, the Black Fox cut three pieces of rope, each some two yards in length.
„Mmmhhhhrrrr! Uuhhmmmmph! Nnnnngggggg!“
Ela screamed through her gag and tried to flail when the men tied one of these ropes around her waist and brought the dangling end between her legs. Her eyes bulged and Charlotte and Amila mewed with a mixture of horror and pity as the rope disappeared between the thatch of black pubic hair. When they let her go, the look on her reddened face and her heavy panting told them that now the other end had been tied to her wrists, pinning her arms to her back.
Drawing by hugues66
Charlotte tried to run away, but after a few steps, the men caught her and rewarded her attempt to flee with an even tighter crotch rope. She mewed and grunted, trying to cope with the burning sensation between her legs.
When Amila had been equipped with a crotch rope, too, the three girls were once again put side by side. Then, the stick came into use. Carefully to not hurt her, the Black fox pushed the top of the stick under Ela`s crotch rope. The Indian moaned and squirmed, but another man forced her to hold still. The bark of this stick was smooth, but it was a terrible feeling for her when the wood brushed her pubic mound. In addition, the stick made the crotch rope tighten a bit.
The Black Fox pushed the stick further and further and threaded it through Charlotte`s and Amila`s crotch ropes, too. Finally, they were standing shoulder to shoulder, and hip to hip, connected by the stick running horizontally through their crotch ropes.
Drawing by hugues66
Now, two men tied long ropes to the ends of the stick and tied the other ends to the pommels of their horses. The three girls screamed with alarm into their gags, but when the man had mounted their horses and started to ride off, the ropes tightened and forced them to follow them. The speed was slow, but they had to concentrate hard to perfectly walk in step. Each stumbling, each falling over would have terrible consequences on the most intimate areas of them all.
