Chapter 22: 22

Torrential rain fell in the gloomy sky, and the muddy road made it difficult for the troops to move forward, and everyone could only stop and rest temporarily. Fortunately, there are many spacious caves on this peak, enough for everyone to shelter from the rain.

Gerald and many of the little orcs had their hair soaked all over their bodies, and the orcs raised a campfire, and everyone sat by the fire and cooked silently. At this time, even the most squeamish Asian beast did not complain about the surrounding environment, and there was a low and depressed atmosphere in the cave.

The cave was extraordinarily quiet, and the sound of raindrops hitting the ground outside the cave was clear. Suddenly, there was a deafening sound, which almost drowned out all the rain. Everyone looked at each other, and there was a sense of ominous in their hearts.

An orc with the fastest response rushed out first, and after a while, his terrified shout came from the entrance of the cave: “The flood is coming! The flood is coming!!!”

They had never seen such a situation before. The turbulent water rushed to the front of the hill in a blink of an eye and surrounded the whole hill. The huge momentum swept away the solid rock, and the slightly fragile rock was directly split from the middle by the water! Large swathes of rocks slid down into the running water, like a fish fixed on a chopping board, and could only struggle under the butcher’s knife in vain, watching as his scales were chipped off bit by bit.

The water is rising higher and higher, like an insatiable gluttonous gluttony, nibbling away at the small mountain. But for a moment, the entire hill fell into a vast ocean and disappeared.

If people don’t know that there is a place where they once lived, I am afraid that there is a river there.

“Huaaaa…”, someone couldn’t help crying.

“My home!”

“No, no, no more!”

“The wise men and the elders are still there! The flood is so big, what can they do!”

“Lord Beast God, open your eyes and take a look! You save us, save your believers!”

One after another, the sound of crying resounded throughout the mountain.

Before, under the protection of the Beast God, they had never encountered such a large-scale natural disaster. But now, years of natural disasters are almost completely crushing them.

“Lord Beast God, Lord Beast God!” Someone shouted desperately, but no one answered.

Even Gerald couldn’t help tugging at Claire’s sleeves – Pascal, he hasn’t come back yet.

“Don’t worry, Lord Pascal… He will be fine.” Claire’s voice was dry and lacking in confidence. Obviously, she was not very sure about Pascal’s safety. She forced herself to calm down and comforted Gerald, just instinctively.

Gerald’s face paled a little: “I-I didn’t worry about him!” That guy who holds grudges, it’s best if he doesn’t come back! That way he won’t be used as a reserve grain!

But somehow, the thought that Pascal might not come back made Gerald feel a little sad again. He didn’t have the urge to cry, he just felt stuffy in his heart and was overwhelmed by some kind of heavy emotion. Fragments of him and Pascal’s time together kept popping up in his mind, disturbing him. He wanted to drive these pictures out of his mind, but it had the opposite effect, more and more complicated memory fragments kept pouring into his mind.

—

He is so bad and so cunning, he will definitely not die in the flood easily! And he’s still an Elementalist!

What about the Elementalists? What can a fire elemental person do in the face of the ocean flood? What’s more, he can’t even use elemental abilities now… No matter what his life or death does, that kind of guy will die when he dies!

However, no matter how many times he persuaded himself in his heart, Gerald couldn’t deny that if Pascal died in this flood, he would never be happy because of it.

Although the man was very careful, held grudges, had a bad temper, and regarded him as a reserve food, he was really good to him. He not only rescued him, but also gave him food, which was far more than that of an ordinary male lion. More care for their children.

Although Gerald once thought that he would escape from Pascal’s side when he grew up and get rid of the fate of being used as a reserve food, but he never thought about what would happen if Pascal died.

…….

The surrounding orcs and sub-beasts began to go in and out of the cave frequently, hoping that the flood would recede in the next moment, and secretly praying that their house was still there – although everyone knew that the possibility was very remote.

Gerald’s eyes also kept moving as the crowd came in and out. Every time someone came in, he would raise his small head and look at the hole, and when he found that the person was not Pascal, he would bury his head again.

Gerald’s fur has been dried out, but it is not known if it is because of the travel all the way and the poor food, her originally brilliant golden retriever has become a little bleak.

Claire took the fluffy little guy to her lap and hugged him tightly, as if to warm him and draw strength from him: “Okay, don’t be so downcast, Everything’s going to be alright, little one.”

The other little orcs used to shout or howl these days to vent their unease and fear, but Gerald was so good that he felt bad.

Even if he feels so bad, he doesn’t make a fuss, just silently find a place to lie down, roll himself into a ball, and didn’t cause anyone trouble.

“Little Gerald, would you like another piece of jerky? It’s your favorite wart pork. You didn’t eat much at noon today.” Claire rubbed her chin lightly against Gerald’s soft hair : “Look, you’ve lost weight recently. Lord Pascal likes your chubby appearance the most. He will definitely be unhappy when he sees you now, and think that I haven’t taken good care of you. So, you have to work hard. You will grow back.”

Gerald shook his head, now that they were besieged by heavy rain, how precious food was, Gerald knew it.

Claire was afraid that he would be hungry, so she took some of her share for him every time, but Gerald couldn’t accept it with peace of mind.

What’s more, he really has no appetite right now, so instead of wasting the meat on him, it’s better for Claire to keep it for herself.

Claire took out the jerky and put it next to Gerald’s mouth to feed him, but Gerald pushed the jerky back: “Claire, just eat it.”

Due to the lack of moisture, his throat became a little hoarse.

Claire looked at the little lion that had lost a circle and touched his head, his eyes full of distress.

She was about to say something, but she heard a surprised voice from outside: “The Wise and Pascal are back! They are back!”

The orcs and sub-beasts who were cooking on the fire or cooking in the cave stood up in surprise, With a sense of relief.

“The wise man is really safe and sound? The beast god is above, this is really great!”

At this time, no one was paying attention to the elders’ situation, and everyone’s attention was focused on the wise man. For them, a wise man is an existence that can guide them, a messenger of God, a trustworthy source, and is far more important than the elders.

A sturdy male lion walked in with the wise man on his back. His hair was soaked all over his body, and he looked very embarrassed. There was even a small part of his body that was even shedding hair. But no one would laugh at him. The people of the orc tribe recognized him as the stranger named Pascal. They thanked Pascal for saving their wise man, and no longer rejected his identity as a stranger in their hearts, but treated him instead. Cast a respectful look.

Although the wise man carried by the lion on his back was unscathed, his expression was sluggish because of the long journey. He seemed to be ten years old again, and his cloudy eyes were filled with inescapable sadness.

Witnessing the destruction of homes and the flooding of friends and acquaintances, the grief in the heart of the wise man was greater than in anyone present.

At this time, the patriarch came up, supported the wise man whose legs were trembling, and took his hand: “Wise man, now we are all still alive, this is already the best result. You once told us that our hope is In the outside world. Now, please go to the outside world with us to find hope.”

After this accident, the patriarch, who was still somewhat willful, has grown a lot, and he looks more calm and reliable.

The wise man took his hand with relief and shook his head: “I am too old, and I can no longer lead our tribe to go on. Now, it’s your turn to guide the tribe.”

“The wise…”

The wise man lifted his hand stopped the patriarch’s words, and he held his hand tightly: “Tell me, can you do it?”

The patriarch nodded, his clear eyes flashing firm light in the dark cave: “Yes.”

The wise man, he nodded, moved slowly to the fire, leaned against the mountain wall, and closed his eyes. It can be seen that this time has indeed greatly damaged his vitality and exhausted his energy.

On the other side, the big lion slowly walked towards the little lion and Claire. He walked slowly and hard, but his pace was steady. In front of the little lion, he squatted down, stuck out his tongue, and licked the little lion’s face.

—I’m back, Gerald.

Claire cried with joy, she reached out and wiped the corner of her eyes: “You are finally back, my lord.”

If the wise man is the core figure in the orc tribe, then Pascal is the backbone of their group. Now, seeing Pascal returning safely, the excitement in Claire’s heart is indescribable.

The big lion nodded. He looked very tired, and he suffered a lot of injuries while avoiding the flood. Some were scratched by sharp stones on the mountain, and some were rubbed by branches. Although it was not serious, But densely packed, it looks shocking.

And the most serious thing was the wound where even the hair fell off.

Claire picked up the little lion and put it on Pascal’s wide back, which was still in a confused state: “Lick it up for your dad, little Gerald.”

Gerald: …what? ! ! !
Torrential rain fell in the gloomy sky, and the muddy road made it difficult for the troops to move forward, and everyone could only stop and rest temporarily. Fortunately, there are many spacious caves on this peak, enough for everyone to shelter from the rain.
