Chapter 29: 29

The process of escaping was not smooth. Although the five old people bought a little time for everyone at the expense of themselves, the flood soon overcame the human wall made of their flesh and blood, and washed away the victims.

No one spoke, and everyone accelerated their pace.

Since Karen and the others hid the furthest when the crowd was digging the passage, they fell behind when the crowd was about to enter the passage to take refuge.

Seeing that she was about to be overtaken by the flood, and there was an orc waiting at the entrance of the hole in front of her, Karen was anxious, and without knowing where the strength came from, he pulled the orc away from the hole, she plunged her head into the channel.

The orc’s name was Spear, and he walked slower than others because of his lame leg during hunting in his early years. He originally saw Karen waiting for the three Asian beasts to walk at the end, and planned to protect them into the hole and then go in by herself, but Karen suddenly became ruthless and dragged him to the ground. The spear could feel that the moment he fell to the ground, the bone in the injured leg was completely shattered.

How so!

Spear watched helplessly as the other two Asian beasts followed behind Karen, stepping over his body into the hole, his face twisted with pain and despair.

All a along, they have been educated in the clan to save other clan members even if they sacrifice themselves. Although the Asian beasts were more arrogant than the beasts, he never thought that one day Karen and the others would sacrifice her life for the sake of 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.

The spear heard the sound of water flowing in his ears approaching, and in a trance he heard someone lying at the entrance of the passage calling his name. He climbed up from the water with difficulty, endured the severe pain, and came to the hole dug by his companions little by little.

The icy and turbulent water rushes on his calf, and a heart-wrenching pain winds up the injured leg. The spear hurts so much that his eyes turn black, and he can’t wait to pass out immediately. But he still bit his lower lip, maintaining his sanity. He knew that it was difficult for him to escape this catastrophe, but he had one last thing to do before welcoming the arrival of the god of death.

He climbed the slippery wall with difficulty, and crawled into the hole with severe pain in his legs. The hole is only one person wide. As long as he can block the entrance of the hole with his own 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 the last thing for his companions. Not for Karen’s three selfish people, but for the worried companions who were still calling his name in the passage.

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

Consciousness was stripped from his body little by little, and gradually, he felt tired, tired, and finally, he only heard a series of anxious calls…

Please take our hope and go out!

Spear’s body was swept away like a rag, and after losing his stubborn barrier, the raging waters swept into the passage unstoppably.

The little man who walked at the end was the first to suffer. Although he barely stepped on the spear to save his life, his luck soon came to an end. Feeling the huge momentum behind him, he widened his eyes in horror, and before he could react to it, the current rushed over to another sub-beast in front of him, Jin.

At first, the two struggled constantly in the current, and soon, their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears were filled with water, and even their abdomens swelled like a ball.

Whether they were willing or unwilling, they stared into those eyes of fear and despair and lost their lives.

In the face of such a disaster, casualties are inevitable in the process of escaping. But if it wasn’t for their lack of help, if it wasn’t for their staying away while their companions were working, maybe they wouldn’t have been the last to escape, or the first to be sacrificed.

Karen quickened her pace as she heard the screams of the two companions behind her. But the cave is so big, no matter how fast his speed is, where can he go?

Soon, he followed Cai and Jin’s footsteps, and the little Asian beast she was protecting in his arms was not spared either. Before dying, their eyes were wide open, as if it hadn’t had time to figure out why such misfortune had befallen him.

At the moment when the flood flooded over Karen’s body, a solid earth wall blocked Karen’s front. The flood hit the solid earth wall, but for a while there was no way to disintegrate it. After the earth wall, Claire manipulated her elemental force to build up the earth wall layer by layer, until it was determined that the flood water could not wash it away for a while, and then she continued to flee.

One of the last people to enter the cave, Claire naturally saw the scene where the three of Karen pushed the spear to the ground. It was 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 the spear die at the entrance of the cave.

Claire deliberately walked behind because she possessed the elemental power of the earth element and could resist the flood for everyone. If the three of Karen hadn’t sacrificed their companions to keep themselves alive, even if she didn’t like them, she wouldn’t stand by. But since they are so selfish and disregarding the lives of their companions, she will naturally not care about their lives.

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

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

But Claire’s burden increased.

In order to build an earth wall to resist the flood in this passage, she had to spend several times the previous elemental force. Gradually, Claire couldn’t take it anymore. After an earthen wall was erected again, her feet softened and she fell to the ground. If someone looks back at this time, they can find that her complexion is very pale, and sweat is dripping down her forehead constantly.

“Are you alright?” A pair of hands supported Claire.

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

“It’s okay, thank you for your help, patriarch.” Claire held onto his hand to stand firm, and then she felt the dizziness pass.

“…You can call me Yu.”

Claire gave him a surprised look: “I think the name is irrelevant to us. Now, the most important thing is to escape.”

“That’s right. In the future, we will also have a long time to discuss these.” Without any warning, the patriarch took Claire’s hand and started running wildly.

Although his movements were very sudden, Claire followed his footsteps with her excellent reaction speed 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, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

After a while –

“Oh, wait.” Claire breathed heavily: “The earth wall at the back is about to be washed away by the flood, and I have to build a new one…”

“We are almost at the exit. . We can rush out before the flood comes. Until then, don’t force yourself. You don’t want to cause irreversible damage to your body because of overdrawing your strength, right?”

When they saw the exit, everyone was very excited. They 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 little golden lion on Pascal’s head, looking around to find her figure, her heart warmed, and her steps were a little faster.

At the moment when Claire and the patriarch rushed out of the passage, Claire used her last strength to seal the passage, and then fell weakly on Pascal’s body.

“Claire, are you okay?” The little lion tilted his head and looked at Claire worriedly.

The patriarch stepped forward and wanted to take Claire from Pascal, but was stopped by Pascal.

“What do you mean?” the patriarch asked with a bad face.

“I should ask you this, right?” Pascal was not to be outdone: “Claire is my subordinate, and it is natural for me to take care of her. What is your relationship with her?”

“I……..”

At this time , Claire’s attention has been fully focused on the little lion, while completely ignoring the dark-faced patriarch beside her. Seeing that the little lion was worried about herself, Claire gently touched the fur on the little lion’s head and comforted: “It’s okay, Gerald. You know, such a little difficulty can’t overwhelm you. I once experienced a predicament that was more dangerous than this, and I finally overcame it and survived.”

Hearing this, the people who had just cried for the rest of their lives fell silent.

It is true that they all survived, they were lucky, they overcame the natural disaster, but in this disaster they also lost a lot of things, a lot of people.

The Wise Men, the Elders, the Spears, and those who stayed on the hill until their death…they never came back.

Seeing that the people of the orc tribe raised their hands and prayed for the deceased in 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. So, even if I formed an alliance with them, I didn’t really expect them. how much effort.”

“But, just now, I changed my mind. Orc tribes, they may not have a strong power, nor a 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 help them, guide the right path, and in time, they will become our most reliable allies and strongest backing.”

“You are right, I completely agree with this.” Claire said: “But sir, how do you plan to arrange it? What about them? Take them back to our place?”

Pascal shook his head: “No, if we are all gathered together, it is too conspicuous, and it will definitely attract the attention of my good uncle.”

“Then What do you mean?”

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

………

""

Gerald didn’t interrupt, he was lying on Claire’s head, trying to use her meager mental strength to make Claire get back to the state as soon as possible.

Looking at the grass under his feet swaying constantly because of the wind, a familiar and unfamiliar feeling rose in his heart.

Prairie, they finally came back.
