Lion King's Adopted Son

"What are you panicking!" The wise man who had been standing by and observing the overall situation severely reprimanded the three of Karen.

Several old sub-beasts, including the wise man, and cubs like Gera did not join in the operation of digging the mountain wall.They are weak and have little role to play in such an operation.Once they joined, the orcs would probably have to worry about taking care of them.The wise man and his four companions understood this, so instead of making trouble for the orcs, they stood aside and observed the surrounding situation, helping the orcs and sub-beasts restrain the cubs who had lost their control, Keep the cubs from getting into trouble.

The wise man was very relieved to see his favorite student Sang and a few sub-beasts help the orcs dig the wall, and use his spiritual power to point out the places where the wall is more likely to be damaged for the orcs.

Only a few sub-beasts with relatively strong mental power, including Sang, participated in building the wall. Most of the other sub-beasts still failed to endure this kind of hardship, and did not even use their own spiritual power to guide the orcs—after all Their mental strength is too weak, and exhausting their mental strength is a very painful thing.But they didn't let themselves idle either.They walked back and forth in the cave, wiping off the orcs' sweat and passing some water from time to time.

Although the performance of these sub-beasts is not satisfactory, at least they are already making changes.In this disaster, they gradually understand that it is not only the orcs' responsibility to keep the group alive.They should do something too - even if it's something trivial.

The crisis of survival has forced many people to grow up, and many sub-beasts are no longer as heartless as before.Their arrogance has not completely disappeared, but their mentality and self-awareness are changing for the better.

Compared with these young sub-beasts who were busy in the cave, the Karen trio who were doing nothing seemed a bit unique.Everyone has their own tasks, but they are excluded, but they are unconscious, and whenever there is any trouble, they will yell next to them, and even the cubs are quieter than them.

The wise man gave Karen a hard look: "If you can't help everyone, at least keep your mouth shut and don't make trouble!"

"But, wise man, the flood..."

"No, but. Do you think that if you yell loudly here, the flood will not come? With this effort, you might as well think more about how to let everyone escape as soon as possible!"

Jela lay on the entrance of the cave, and said worriedly: "The internal terrain of this cave is constantly declining, and the same is true for the passage leading to the outside world. If the flood really pours in, even if we dig through the tunnel, it will be submerged. "

The wise man's attitude towards Gera was completely different from Karen's. He said approvingly: "Yes, my child, I didn't expect you to think of this level. It's amazing." Heavy rain brought a big stone in and placed it at the entrance of the cave, apparently intending to block the cave with stones.

Seeing this, Jiela followed suit, and moved a stone that was about the size of its body from nowhere, and moved it over with difficulty. In the process of putting the stone down, it almost smashed its own foot.

"The little guy is really good. Even if you work so hard, we old men can't fall behind you." The four old men standing with the wise man said.

Among them, two are elders, and the other two are former elders, although they don't have any positions, they were well-known figures in the orc tribe back then. As they get older, they don't care much about things, but no one dares to underestimate them. them.

The four old men also stood out, looking for large stones.

The cubs saw that Jela was praised by the old people for helping to move the stones, and they wanted to follow suit, but they were stopped before they stepped out of the cave.The old people don't reject the cubs to help, but they are not allowed to step out of the cave, they are only allowed to pick up stones in the cave.After all, the stones in the cave are limited, and the size is not particularly large, but it is better to be safe.

I don't know how many times the five old Asian orcs outside went back and forth. Their bodies were covered with rainwater and mud, and even their arms were shaking from carrying large stones for a long time.At this time, the entrance of the cave has been filled in half.

Jela said worriedly: "Wise men, elders, come in and enjoy the fire first before continuing."

The bodies of the old Asian beasts were already weak, and if this continued, the five old men might not be able to bear it and would collapse first.Moreover, the five old men are all outside now, and when the entrance of the cave is completely blocked by stones, they will not be able to enter.

The wise man's face had already turned blue, and his lips had already lost their color. He did not accept Gera's suggestion, shook his head, and said hoarsely: "There is... no time."

Yes, there is no time.

Jela stared blankly at the soles of the wise man's feet. Because the entrance of the cave was blocked by stones, it didn't realize just now that the flood had already been able to climb the cliff!It can even vaguely hear the roar of the flood...

Neither the wise man nor the elders spoke any more, they just accelerated the speed of moving the stone.The current height is no longer within the reach of Jela and the cubs. They can hardly do anything, they can only stand in the cave in a daze, watching the stone wall being built up bit by bit.

Soon, the stone wall reached the chest of the old people, and after a while, their necks were blocked behind the stone wall, and they could only see their heads.Although their faces were full of exhaustion, and their faces had even been frozen purple, their eyes burst out with astonishing light.

Gera's heart choked.It was only at this moment that it realized that perhaps these old people had no intention of coming in since they went out to look for the boulder.

The five of them lined up like a wall between the rushing water and the stone wall.The water flow was very strong, and the huge water flow slapped on their bodies, making Gera wonder if their old and weak flesh and blood bodies would be smashed to pieces in the next moment.

However, they did not fall.Facing the huge thrust of the water, they still stood firmly in front of the stone wall, like an indestructible city wall, firmly guarding in front of everyone, and like five brave soldiers, knowing that there is no way out ahead, But not afraid of life and death.

With the cooperation of Pascal and others, everyone has been able to see the passage leading down the mountain.

Sang Zheng wanted to share this joy with his teacher, but was shocked to find that his teacher, together with the other four respected old men, were standing outside the stone wall.

The stone wall has not been completely completed, but they have to face the flood.

"Teacher!" When meeting the eyes of the wise man, Sang already understood what his teacher wanted to do.He excitedly wanted to climb out of the stone wall: "Teacher, you come in, I will do what you want to do! Come in quickly!"

"Stupid boy!" The wise man scolded him lightly, but there was no blame in his eyes: "Call Pascal and You over for me."

Sang stumbled back to the deepest part of the cave, and after a while, Pascal and the patriarch came out.

The prestige that the patriarch usually put on his face has completely collapsed at this moment, he almost rushed to the patriarch and elders: "Wise man, elder, come in quickly! We should do this kind of thing! You can't be here... ...the tribe still needs you!"

The wise man shook his head and said gently: "We have lived long enough, why should you sacrifice needlessly to protect us old guys! The future of the tribe needs you, the younger generation, not us. We The era of the past has long passed, and now, it is you who are responsible for the future of the tribe. You, after you take the tribe out, you must fully trust our allies, find a place, and develop our tribe well...don’t come back .”

"Wise man, why..."

"This is just my plea, not an order. You have grown up, Yuyou, and have your own judgment. You are no longer a child who needs to be taught by me. I can no longer order you to do anything. However, no matter where you are Where, I hope that none of you will lose the spirit passed down to us by our dead ancestors."

The voice of the wise man was very soft, and the patriarch had to concentrate to hear his words amidst the impact of the huge flood.But these words were like pieces of iron riding, pressing heavily on his chest.

——Wise man, what is tribal spirit?

——Pomelo, have you ever seen ants?

——See, they are very weak, I can trample them to death with one step.

—Yes, they are weak and easy to kill, but their race is still very strong today, do you know why?

--reason?have no idea.

——Well, look at those ants and tell me.

——It's strange, why do they form a ball when crossing the river?

——If you don’t do this, all the ants will not be able to cross the river.

——But the ants outside will definitely die, why do they still want to stay outside?

——Because they can exchange their lives for the new life of the tribe.

--Still do not understand.

——Ants are very weak. Only when they are united can they survive well.Tribal spirit is the most precious wisdom and wealth left to us by our ancestors.Maybe you still don't understand it now, but you, you, one day, you will understand that it is because of this spirit that our tribe can continue forever...

Fragments of memories kept floating in his mind, recalling the wise man who taught him well when he was young, the patriarch felt a deep pain in his heart.How could he still be ignorant of things that he couldn't understand at that time?

The patriarch endured the tears that forced his eyes, and nodded to the wise man: "I understand... I understand..."

The wise man smiled gratifiedly, and turned his eyes to Pascal, his eyes were soft and earnest: "I know that our tribe is closed and backward, and has many bad habits. However, our tribe is not inherently despicable. Our tribe also has its own characteristics. Our own steadfastness, we will never forget the spirit passed on to us by our ancestors - no matter when and where, we will stick to our loyalty to our companions. Don't feel sorry for us, this is our choice. For you - we My companion, our ally, I have but one request."

"Please take our tribe and go out!"

Pascal nodded: "I will, this is what I promised you."

"Go, boys. Don't waste the time we've bought for you."

At this time, the passage was finally dug open, the width was not large, and only one person could pass through at a time.The orcs picked up the cubs, paid the most solemn clan salute to the wise men and elders, and then entered the passage one by one.

The five old men watched them leave, then closed their eyes, and silently endured the flood that had reached their chests.

The water flow is so icy cold, but they seem to be unable to feel all this.

They turned their heads with difficulty and looked at the vast lake behind them. The small mountain depression was completely invisible now, but they just knew it was there.

There is the hometown they have watched all their lives.They are about to go home.
