Lion King's Adopted Son

People in the orc tribe were not completely unaware of the situation that Pascal discovered, especially those older Asian beasts. They have experienced the rise and fall of the tribe for several generations, and their spiritual power can be released far away, and they can see the mountains. The snow that has not completely melted naturally knows that what Pascal said is true.

"If this continues, once midsummer arrives, this place will become very dangerous." Pascal was trying his best to persuade the wise man.

The wise man was silent for a long time, and did not answer immediately.

Since Gera talked to him last winter, he has been thinking about whether to relocate the tribe.It is difficult to leave the homeland, and there are too many unknown factors, it is not easy to make a decision.

The migration of the tribe is a big event for the whole tribe. It is impossible for a wise man to make a decision alone, so he also invited the patriarch and convened the elders to make them vote together.Unsurprisingly, most people voted against, and some of them were even quite radical, denouncing outsiders with ulterior motives—they didn’t know that it was only a young lion who made a suggestion to the wise man at that time, and they all thought the proposal From Pascal's mouth.

The wise man didn't know whether to be happy that he didn't have to move away from his homeland, or worry about the resolute attitude of the clansmen to stay behind.

The arrival of Pascal once again sounded the alarm for the wise.

The wise man thought about it and said: "I know that as the weather gets colder and colder, the growing season of those grasses will become shorter and shorter. With less grass, there will be fewer herbivores coming over. It is more difficult. The severe cold of the climate also makes it impossible for us to get enough edible plants, and the sub-beasts need these. But now, the situation has not reached the worst point, and we want to wait."

"You and your people don't want to leave here." Pascal pointed out sharply: "In the second half of last winter, most of the orcs were starved and frozen. However, in a place where almost no one was starved to death Under the circumstances, you still have luck. I can understand your reluctance to leave, but as a wise man in the tribe, I am really surprised that you would make such an unwise decision."

The wise man smiled wryly: "Perhaps as you said, I am lucky that the environment here will improve. Our ancestors have lived on this land for generations, and we don't want to abandon it until the last moment. Now, you see, The wise man of the orc tribe is actually just an ordinary person who is indecisive in doing things."

"Then, if I tell you that if you stay here, what awaits the orc tribe will not only be starvation and cold in winter, but the situation will be worse than you imagined?"

"What?" The wise man could hear the heaviness in Pascal's tone, and his heart also sank: "Did you know something?"

……

When the hottest season of summer is approaching, all the orc tribes are ordered to migrate.A small hill, now densely packed with people.They are crossing mountains and ridges, crossing the top of the mountain where they live, and reaching the untouched peak next to it. As long as they climb over this peak and find the passage in the peak, they can reach the outside world.

Many orcs and sub-beasts have never left the hills where they live, and naturally they have never seen the three prosperous cities and nine small cities outside.But at this moment, they were not at all happy that they were about to see the outside world.

Even though the temperature in the four seasons is colder than in previous years, standing under the scorching sun in summer is still beyond the tolerance of everyone.Not to mention the sub-beasts who have always been pampered, even the rough-skinned orcs who have been hunting outside all year round can't bear it.In summer, they usually choose to hunt in the Qing Dynasty to stagger the hottest weather.

Hot sweat rolled down the sticky and greasy skin, and finally someone couldn't help but complain: "What is the meaning of the wise man? Why did you suddenly order us to move away? Even the pots and pans and bedding They didn't let us clean up, but only allowed us to bring water and food for a few days."

"I heard that a terrible disaster is about to happen, and the wise man is going to take us to escape."

The wise man has always had a high prestige in the group, so although his instructions go against everyone's wishes, some people still subconsciously defend the wise man.

"What disaster?" Hearing this, the man was bluffed and lowered his voice, for fear that if his voice was louder, disaster would really come: "Master Wise is the priest of the beastman, could it be that he has received a gift from the beast god?" instructions?"

"My elder brother works by the patriarch's side. I know more about this matter. The wise man said to the patriarch that a flood may break out here in a short time, and the flood will submerge the mountain we live in. So, we have to get out of here." An orc boy said.

"Flood? But there has never been a flood in our place." A sub-beast said in disbelief: "Don't be a wise man and make a mistake!"

"The wise man is the messenger of God, how can he be wrong?" The orc boy was very dissatisfied when he was questioned.

"No, it's not, what's so fierce!" Ya Beast glared at him, then turned his head to talk to his companion beside him.

Although the steps of everyone are very tired and heavy, the team is still moving towards the peak at a slow speed without stopping.

The patriarch glanced at Claire who was a few steps behind him. She was carrying a package on her back and was holding Gera by the hand.The man who always made his teeth itch with hatred was not by their side.

The pace under his feet paused for a moment, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the beast god statue, with strong worry in his pupils.

The wise man is not here, Pascal is not here, several elders in the clan and a small number of followers of the elders are also not here.

The moment he looked back, Claire led Gera to his side: "Don't worry, the wise man and Pascal will persuade them."

"No, you don't know those elders. The statue of the beast god is there, and they won't leave." His eyesight was excellent, and he could see a high mountain a few mountains away from them at a glance.It was the largest mountain among them, and it was considered the holiest at the same time.Even when the statue of the beast god was built, it was facing the direction of that mountain.

After a long and cold winter, the mountains are covered with snow and ice.Due to the high altitude and low temperature, the breath of spring failed to melt the ice and snow on the mountaintop and the mountainside, only the ice and snow at the foot of the mountain melted away part of it one after another.But in the hot summer, the ice and snow covering the surface of the mountain began to collapse and slide in large areas.

It is clear at a glance what will happen to so much snow water.

At first, the patriarch did not notice this situation.It wasn't until Pascal personally took him to observe the snow-capped mountain at close range that he felt a burst of shock.

If Pascal hadn't reminded them that if they had stayed on that little hill during the flood, no one knew if they would have seen the next spring.

The patriarch and the wise man chose to follow Pascal's advice and move out from here.But obviously, not everyone supports them.

With the weight of the patriarch and wise men in the clan, it is enough for most of the clan to follow them, but the elders and their supporters don't buy it.They believed that no matter what, they should not abandon the statue of the beast god and leave their hometown.Even if a disaster is coming, you should pray to the Beast God for help, instead of running away in a hurry like a bereaved dog.

The wise man and Pascal went to persuade this group of people.

Rationally, the wise man knows that the possibility that the elders will leave with him is extremely low, but emotionally, he can't stand by and watch these old guys who have come together through ups and downs go to die without paying attention, so , after the big troop set off, he came back here again, making his last effort.

"You don't need to persuade us anymore, Wu." Because the civilization in the tribe is not as prosperous as the outside world, everyone in the tribe has very simple names.

The elders knelt piously in front of the statue of the beast god, and faced the wise man who came back to persuade them, without raising their eyelids: "From the day we became priests of the beast god, we have already decided that no matter when we They will never turn their backs on Lord Beast God. Only under the protection of Lord Beast God can our tribe survive forever."

"We just want to live. The Beast God has always protected us, and he must hope that his believers can live." The wise man said: "Every one of us respects the Beast God from the bottom of our hearts, and the Beast God will definitely be able to Seeing our intentions, he will not blame us."

"Shut up! You betrayer!" Elder Luan was very angry: "You dare to say that the Beast God will forgive you, you are so shameless! Among our many sacrifices, you are the only one who can listen to the teachings of the Beast God , do you know what a lofty honor this is? Do you know how much we envy you for being favored by the Beast God? But now, you have decided to listen to the nonsense of this outsider and betray our Beast God Sir! You are absolutely ridiculous! You will be punished by Lord Beast God!"

"If you don't leave here, once the flood breaks out, you will really die! Lord Beast God will not come to save you! Since Lord Beast God came ten years ago, I have never heard his voice again! Luan, Ye, Xun, we have gone through so many crises before, and finally survived with the hope of our people, are you really planning to give up your lives here?"

"Don't say any more, wise man." A follower of the elders, one of the elder's orc sons stood up and looked at the old Asian orc man without a trace of respect in his eyes: "Although I still call you wise man, I think You have lost the qualification to be called that. You go, my father, and all the believers here are loyal to the Beast God, and we will not leave. We firmly believe that the Beast God will never abandon His believer! It's you—" He said contemptuously: "If we can see you again in the future, I will definitely reveal your true colors to the people! I hope you can live until then!"

During the time when everyone was holding each other, there was thunder and lightning flashing in the sky, and after a short while, bean-sized raindrops fell densely, hitting people's skin with pain.Amidst the sound of the rainstorm, the sound of a rushing tide overwhelmed all the arguments, and the huge wave formed by the converging snow water came towards the hill. Because the hill was low at the time, it was quickly over the foot of the mountain and approached the mountainside ...

Pascal made a decisive decision, carried the wise man on his back, and ran in the direction of Gera and the others, leaving behind the frightened voices of the elders and his group.

"Wait...wait..." Just as the wise man was about to speak, a big breath of cold air was poured into his mouth, making him shiver.

In the high-speed advance, Pascal's voice was like a jigsaw puzzle that was dismantled one by one and then put back together again: "If you don't leave, it will be too late."

The cold wind whizzed past the two of them. At this moment, neither of them had the time to talk, and they could only try to maintain their state during this desperate run.Several times, the wise man felt that the torrential water was catching up with them, and even stained his clothes.

But every time Pascal accelerated to leave the water behind him, he kept accelerating like this, constantly accelerating, pointing and even began to wonder where the limit of this man from the outside world was, or in other words, what is the limit for? Does it really exist for him?

Finally, the two stopped on a mountain top where the flood could not reach.Pascal was lying on the mountain wall panting violently, while the wise man looked back at the mountainside with painful eyes——

The rushing water completely destroyed the altar they built.The tall beast statue, those small black spots that were faintly visible before, are gone...

The wise man's eyes were dry and astringent, and he couldn't shed a single tear, but his heart twitched violently.He felt that something in his heart collapsed along with the flood that destroyed everything.
