Lion King's Adopted Son

"Really, these two people..." The patriarch looked at the distant figures of Pascal and Kelier, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

"Do you think their actions are wrong, my child?" The wise man who woke up at some point walked slowly to the entrance of the cave.

The patriarch's frown has been locked ever since Pascal and Claire left, and never let go: "It's too dangerous to go out in such heavy rain. It's hard to find food in this kind of weather, besides, they If you are not familiar with the mountain roads in this area, if you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff! Really, do those two guys know this! "

——Also, it’s fine for Pascal to go, why would Claire join in the fun?Shouldn't she just stay in the cave with the baby?

"You underestimated their survivability." The wise man shook his head disapprovingly: "I don't think they ran out unprepared. When Pascal fled to this mountain with me on his back, there were several times. He was almost overtaken by the flood, but he didn't take a wrong step in such a critical situation, which shows that he is not as simple as you imagined."

"Really? How did that guy do it?" The patriarch had no doubts about the words of the wise man. He must have seen what the wise man said with his own eyes.However, the patriarch is still unbelievable about this fact.If there is no rain, all orcs, even those who don't go out of the house often, can easily find their way by virtue of the smell left behind.

But now it was raining heavily outside, and the rain washed away all the smells around, which made it very difficult for them to distinguish the road by smell.

"Don't underestimate your allies. Pascal must be able to single-handedly break through the trap set by the Lord of Celant and come to our orc territory. Er's female also has strong survival ability and hunting experience. Although you have inherited your father's outstanding talent, you are still too immature compared with him. You have a lot to learn from him in the future. "

The patriarch pursed his lips and said nothing.

Although the words of the wise man sounded unpleasant, he no longer blindly rejected them.In these days of actions, he has fully realized that he is still far from becoming an excellent leader.There is no shame in recognizing your own shortcomings.It is precisely because of seeing these shortcomings that he has the direction to move forward.

"Wise man, in your opinion, why did Pascal and Claire risk going out?" the patriarch humbly asked the old Asian orc man for advice.

The old Asian orc man narrowed his eyes: "They may have realized something, maybe, the rain will not stop so easily. Yuzu, if we don't hunt, how many days can our food last?"

"Eat a little sparingly, and you can eat for three days." Speaking of this, the patriarch's face was a little unhappy.These days, in order to save food, everyone has never had enough to eat.If they encounter any danger now, they probably don't even have the ability to fight.

It turned out that he didn't send people out to look for food because he felt that the rain would stop soon. After all, the place where they lived had never experienced continuous heavy rain for a long time.But now, looking at the sky where the rain didn't show any signs of fading, he suddenly became unsure about all of this.

The old Asian orc man said: "Yes, if you save some food, it will only be enough for three days." After a pause, he said: "The flood has not receded, and the rainstorm has not abated. , our food is finished, what should we do..."

The patriarch's heart sank slowly, and he couldn't help thinking about the wise man's assumptions.If Pascal and Claire's judgment is correct, and if the wise man's assumption comes true, once the food runs out, what awaits them will be a disaster.

"Wait another day." The patriarch said, "Wait another day. If the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, I will ask everyone to go out together to find food and collect firewood."

……

Pascal put a layer of energy shields on himself and Claire, so even though they were rushing in the heavy rain, they didn't get wet at all.At this time, Pascal had already snatched Gera from Claire's arms, stuffed it in his clothes, and only exposed her head at the neckline.

Gera was surprised to find that Pascal's body was dry and warm, not as clammy and cold as he was in the cave.

Moreover, Pascal and Claire traveled quite fast and were not affected by the heavy rain at all.If he hadn't seen the continuous rainstorm with his own eyes, Jela might have thought that the rain had actually stopped.

"You feel it, too, Claire?" Pascal slowed down and was on the same level as Claire.

In the process of walking, Pascal has always been ahead of the lions of Pascal's lion group.Even if his followers treat him casually, at this time, they will automatically follow him to show their recognition of his leadership.

"Yeah." Claire said with a serious expression: "Since I left the hill where the orcs lived, the force that has been restricting my elemental power has weakened. Now, I can already use the equivalent of the first level." Elemental power."

"I also recovered the power of the second-level fire element." Pascal said, "I found this on the way to avoid the flood. However, I have not used this power in front of the wise."

As allies, Pascal and Krill already had a fairly clear understanding of the situation of the orcs, but the latter still knew very little about the former.I have to feel that the orcs are still too simple in some aspects.It's no wonder that they were clearly not weak, but they were dealt with so badly by the expeditionary army of the Lord of Celant when they had the home court advantage.

Listening to the conversation between Pascal and Claire, Gera suddenly felt that the safety of her group was a little bit more secure.

The heavy rain caused the animals to huddle in their dens, and it was difficult for Pascal and Claire to find them because their keen sense of smell could not be used.but--

"What are you worried about? Isn't Gera here?" Pascal patted his little head protruding from the neckline lightly, his tone full of trust.

"No wonder you didn't stop me when I wanted to take Gera with me," Claire said.She originally thought that Lord Pascal would prefer that Gera stay in that safe cave.

"Even if Gera doesn't have the ability to perceive, I won't leave it there alone." Pascal said, unbuttoning his front, holding the body of the lion cub with both hands, and placing it on the ground.

As soon as the little lion landed on the ground, he couldn't help shrinking himself into a ball, and left Pascal's warm clothes. It was too cold around him.But not long after, a ball of light red light enveloped the little lion. The temperature was well controlled, neither too cold nor too hot. It was as comfortable as when it was nestled in Pascal's arms just now. .

Pascal touched the little lion's furry head: "Okay, let's go, Gera."

Gera: Why does it suddenly have the feeling that Pascal is a policeman and it is a police dog?If it completes its task, it will be rewarded with a meaty bone by Officer Pascal... Stop it!

Gera was chilled by her own associations.It shook its head, and began to concentrate on sensing whether there was any prey around.

After a while, the Jela brand detection radar actually led Pascal and Claire to find two hens and a nest of eggs hatched by them.

Jela looked at the nest of eggs and swallowed.

They are lucky today, it hasn't eaten delicious eggs for a long time.Although there are no fried eggs, scrambled eggs and tea eggs, it is very satisfying to be able to eat boiled eggs!In seasons of lack of food, it is good to have something to eat, and improving food is a very luxurious thing.

It's a pity that Gera, who was still in joy, ignored an important question——

With so many eggs, how are they going to take them back without bags?

The pheasants were easy to handle, and Claire quickly caught two female pheasants who were clumsily trying to escape.The two pheasants were still struggling in Claire's hands. Claire used elemental force to suppress them, and the two poor female pheasants immediately dared not move.

If they could talk, they would definitely shout out with grief and indignation at this time: "Don't bring such bullying pheasants!"

After watching the pheasant clear away, Gera turned her gaze back to the egg, which soon couldn't stand up.

"What are you doing, Pascal!!!" It quickly rushed over in a food-protecting posture, blocking between Pascal and the pile of eggs.

Pascal, with two broken eggs at his feet, was trying to cover up his own incrimination, but apparently, he failed.

Facing the accusing eyes of his adopted son, he could only laugh, and said awkwardly: "It was just an accident."

Gera gave Pascal a hard look, no matter how much Pascal tried to persuade him, it refused to let Pascal's poisonous hands touch these fragile eggs again.

But it's not a solution to stay so stiff all the time. The rain is gradually increasing, and the surrounding visibility is getting lower and lower.If they encounter a predator at this time, they may not be able to keep their prey and have to give up these eggs.

Gera thought for a while, asked Pascal to take off his sackcloth clothes, and then wrapped the eggs in the clothes.

It asked Claire to hand over the chicken to Pascal, and then handed the clothes wrapped with eggs to Claire.

"I'm here to get this?" Claire looked at Gera in surprise.

Gera nodded, girls are more careful.Compared to handing over the egg to Pascal, who is not important to his subordinates, it is of course safer to keep the egg in the hands of Claire.

Unfortunately, Gera made another mistake.Can the ladies in the big cat world be equated with the girls it came into contact with in its previous life?

Claire took the egg: "Okay, but I hope you won't regret it."

Not long after, the cub's wailing almost pierced through the sky came from the rain: "Claire!!!"
