Lion King's Adopted Son

The process of fleeing was not smooth. Although the five old men bought a little time for everyone at the cost of sacrificing themselves, the flood soon passed through the human wall made of their flesh and blood, and washed away the trapped people. The weak stone wall piled up at the entrance of the cave.

No one spoke, and everyone accelerated their pace.

Because Karen and the others hid the farthest when everyone was digging the tunnel, they fell behind when everyone was about to enter the tunnel for refuge.

Seeing that he was about to be overtaken by the flood, and there was an orc waiting to enter the cave in front of him, Karen was anxious, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he pulled the orc away from the cave. He plunged into the passage.

The orc was named Spear, and because he limped a leg in hunting in the early years, he walked slower than others.Originally, he saw Karen and other three sub-beasts walking last, and planned to protect them into the cave and then go in by himself, but Karen suddenly became violent and dragged him to the ground.Lance could feel that the moment he fell to the ground, the bones of his already injured leg were completely shattered.

how so!

Spear watched the other two sub-beasts follow Karen, stepped over his body and entered the hole, his face contorted with pain and despair.

All along, they have been educated in the ethnic group to keep other clansmen even if they sacrifice themselves.Although the sub-beasts were more arrogant than the orcs, he never imagined that one day Karen and the others would forcefully ruin his life for their own survival.

When disaster strikes, some people choose to sacrifice themselves to buy time for their companions; some choose to use their companions as stepping stones just to survive.

Spear heard the sound of water approaching, and vaguely heard someone lying at the mouth of the passage calling his name.He struggled to get up from the water, endured the severe pain, and came to the hole dug by his companions bit by bit.

The icy and swift water rushed against his calf, and a heart-wrenching pain snaked up that injured leg. The pain caused his eyes to turn black, and he wished he could pass out immediately.But he still bit his lower lip, maintaining his sanity.He knew that it was very difficult for him to escape this catastrophe, but he still had one last thing to do before meeting the arrival of death.

He climbed up the slippery mountain wall with difficulty, and crawled into the hole enduring the severe pain in his leg.The hole is only wide for one person, as long as he can block the hole with his body, he can withstand the flood for a period of time.Now that his death is inevitable, at least he will use his flesh and blood to do one last thing for his companions.Not for Karen's three selfish people, but for his companions who are still calling his name in the passage and worrying about him.

Huge water pressure swept from behind the spear, as if to crush him to pieces.Spear grasped everything around him that could be grasped tightly to stabilize his body, so that he would not be washed away by the current and could buy a little more time for his companions.

Consciousness was stripped from his body bit by bit, gradually, he felt tired, tired, and finally, he only heard waves of anxious calls...

——Please take our hope and go out!

Spear's body was swept away like a rag in the flood, and after losing his tenacious barrier, the torrent flooded the passage irresistibly.

The little Yashoucai who walked last was the first to suffer. Although he just narrowly stepped on the spear and saved his life, his luck soon came to an end.Feeling the huge impulsive force coming from behind, he widened his eyes in horror, and before he could react to it, he was rushed by the current and loaded onto another sub-beast in front of him, Jin.

At first, the two struggled constantly in the water, and soon, their mouths, nose wings, eyes, and ears were filled with water, and even their abdomens swelled like balls.

Whether they were willing or unwilling, they stared into those fearful and desperate eyes and lost their lives.

In the face of such a disaster, casualties during the escape process are inevitable.But if they hadn't not helped, if they hadn't stayed away while their companions were at work, maybe they wouldn't have been the last to escape, and they wouldn't have been the first to be sacrificed.

Hearing the screams of the two companions behind him, Karen quickened his pace.But the cave is only so big, no matter how fast he is, how fast can he go?

Soon, he followed in the footsteps of Cai and Jin, and the little Asian beast in his arms was not spared either.Before dying, its eyes were wide open, as if it hadn't had time to figure out why such bad luck befell itself.

At the moment when the flood flooded Karen's body, a solid earth wall blocked Karen's front.The flood hit the solid earth wall, but there was no way to disintegrate it for a while.Behind the earth wall, Claire manipulated her elemental power to build up the earth wall layer by layer, until she was sure that the flood would not be able to wash away it for a while, and then continued to flee.

As one of the last few people to enter the cave, Claire naturally saw the scene where Karen and the others pushed the spear to the ground.It's a pity that the flood had already arrived at that time, and she had no time to save the spear, so she could only watch him die at the entrance of the cave.

Claire deliberately walked behind, originally because she possessed the elemental power of the earth element and could resist floods for everyone.If the three of Karen didn't sacrifice their companions to keep themselves alive, even if she didn't like them, she wouldn't stand by.But since they were so selfish and disregarded the lives of their companions, she naturally would not care about their lives.

Claire walked all the way forward, judging the distance of the flood from her through the vibrations behind her, and then built a thick earth wall.

The passage to the outside world is much wider than the passage they dug themselves in the cave, allowing five people to pass side by side.This made everyone escape much faster.

But Claire's burden has increased.

In order to build an earthen wall to resist the flood in this channel, she had to expend several times the previous elemental power.Gradually, Claire couldn't take it anymore.After another earthen wall was erected, her feet gave way and she fell to the ground.If someone looked back at this time, they could find that her complexion was very pale, with sweat dripping down her forehead.

"Are you okay?" Claire was supported by a pair of hands.

Claire looked up and looked into a pair of worried eyes.She felt a little surprised, she never thought that it was this man who first noticed her abnormality.

"It's okay, thank you for your help, Lord Patriarch." Claire helped his hand to stand still, and only then did the dizziness pass.

"...you can call me pomelo."

Claire glanced at him in surprise: "I don't think the name is important to us. Now, the most important thing is to escape."

"That's right. We still have a long time to discuss these things in the future." Without any warning, the patriarch took Claire's hand and started running wildly.

Although his movement was very sudden, Claire followed his steps with excellent reflexes and motor nerves, without falling or being left behind by him.

The patriarch took all this into his eyes. Although he didn't say anything, there was a strange light in his eyes.

after awhile--

"Oh, wait." Claire gasped, "The earth wall behind is almost washed away by the flood, I have to build a new one..."

"We are almost at the exit. We can rush out before the flood arrives. Before that, don't force yourself. You don't want to cause irreversible damage to your body because of overdrawing your strength, right?"

Soon, a light opening appeared in front of Kelier and the patriarch's eyes, which relieved Kelier's heart that had been hanging around a lot.

Seeing the exit, everyone was very excited, took out the top speed and started running, this long distance was quickly crossed by everyone.

Claire, who was running at the end, saw a golden lion cub on Pascal's head, looking around to find her figure, her heart warmed up, and her steps quickened a little.

The moment when Claire and the patriarch rushed out of the tunnel, Claire exhausted her last strength to seal the tunnel entrance, and then fell on Pascal's body powerlessly.

"Clear, are you okay?" The lion cub tilted his head and looked at Claire worriedly.

The patriarch stepped forward, wanting to take Claire from Pascal, but Pascal stopped him.

"What do you mean?" the patriarch asked with a hostile face.

"I should ask you this question, right?" Pascal said not to be outdone, "Claire is my subordinate, and it is only natural for me to take care of her. What is your relationship with her?"

"I……"

At this moment, Claire's attention was all on the little lion, and she completely ignored the patriarch beside her whose face turned black.Seeing that the little lion was worried about herself, Claire gently stroked the fur on the little lion's head, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, Gera. You know, such a small difficulty will not trouble your Kelier." Aunt Lil. I have been through more dangerous situations than this one, but I finally overcome it and survived."

Hearing this, the people who were crying because of the joy of the rest of their lives fell silent.

Indeed, they all survived, they were lucky, they defeated the natural disaster, but in this disaster, they also lost a lot of things, a lot of people.

The Wise Ones, the Elders, the Spears, and those who stayed on the hill till they died...they never came back.

The people watching the orc tribe raised their hands one after another, praying for the dead with a unique gesture, Pascal and Claire did not disturb them.

Walking to an empty and quiet place, Pascal said to Claire: "I originally thought that the orc tribe was just a closed and backward tribe with such and such bad habits. Therefore, even if I formed an alliance with them, I didn't really count on them How much effort do you have?"

"However, just now, I changed my mind. Orc tribes, they may not have strong power, nor strong reproductive power, but they have the most powerful spiritual power. As long as they are given time to develop, as long as they can Guide the right path, and over time, they will surely become our most reliable allies and strongest backing."

"You're right. I quite agree with that," Claire said. "But what are you going to do with them, my lord? Take them back to our place?"

Pascal shook his head: "No, if so many of us gather together, it will be too conspicuous, and it will definitely attract the attention of my good uncle."

"What do you mean?"

"Such a large grassland is enough for their entire tribe to live in."

……

Gera didn't interrupt, it was lying on Claire's head, trying to use its meager mental power to restore Claire to her state as soon as possible.

Looking at the grass swaying under its feet due to the wind blowing, it felt a sense of familiarity and strangeness in its heart.

Grassland, they finally came back.
