All you could see was the river water lashing against both banks, again and again, as if trying to pull everyone around into the endless flow.
The river water was murky; let alone catching fish, just looking at the dangerous water level, Maoduo could tell that something must have happened upstream.
Her expression changed, and she couldn't help but follow. After walking for more than half the distance, she discovered that many trees around her had been washed away and were lying on the ground, causing serious mud accumulation.
If that's the case, there's still hope; such a formation could create a natural dam.
The problem is that the raging and dangerous river water is rising higher and higher, severely impacting the downstream areas and causing considerable damage to both banks.
Needless to say, even a cat like Maoduo could imagine that this would inevitably lead to a violent surge of water, which would inevitably cause a lot of problems...
“I remember that the village was located in a depression.”
CatDodo's heart tightened, and without thinking, she quickly ran back.
Even if the rain beat against the umbrella and damaged it just before she was about to go home, leaving her soaked, she didn't care.
"You guys, hurry up and pack your things." Cat Duoduo was panting heavily, her whole body soaked and her hair wet, looking rather pitiful.
The snakes were shocked when they saw this, and immediately went up to ask Cat Duoduo if she had been bullied by someone.
"No, the river is going to flood this side of us. We have to get to higher ground, the higher the better."
CatDodo gritted his teeth, quickly slung his basket over his shoulder, called over SnakeOne and the others, and then thought of Gal again, turning his head to look.
The male white tiger beastman, who had rarely spoken since waking up, also took the initiative to help, carrying the item that CatDodo had specifically requested to take from the house.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." In this dangerous moment, Mao Duoduo couldn't refuse.
She proactively brought along necessities such as food, flint, and tinder, and led her family to a cave nestled in the surrounding mountains. After confirming that the area was safe, she solemnly pleaded with Gal to protect the children as she left.
"This is what I should have done in the first place." The white tiger beastman was quite righteous, and his face was serious. He could tell that there must be something important behind CatDodo's tension just now.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Amidst the voices of Snake One emphasizing their ability to protect themselves and their mother, Cat Dodo turned around, used the nearly broken umbrella as a shield, and ran to inform the village chief.
The village chief is located in the middle of the village. Once he is notified of a transfer, he can immediately tell the other orcs to follow suit.
At this moment, Chief Xili was with the village chief. They seemed to be discussing something, and were also surprised by the arrival of Cat Duoduo.
CatDodo, disregarding everything else, hurriedly said, "Please move as soon as possible. We need to go to higher ground. I saw it; the upstream of the river is very dangerous, and it's about to breach the dike. The village here is located in a depression near the downstream, and we have no way to resist. Staying here will only lead to our deaths."
"Nonsense. Do you know what you're saying?" the village chief reprimanded sternly.
Chief Sili remained silent, simply closing his eyes to rest. Indeed, this was no ordinary matter; any mistake would undoubtedly have a significant impact on everyone.
The rainy season is troublesome enough; a temporary evacuation during such a dangerous time will only increase the danger for everyone.
"I'm not lying." CatDodo was getting a little anxious, especially after the other beastmen came over and gave her a look that said something like, "CatDodo, you're talking nonsense again."
She knew that at such a crucial moment, the original owner's terrible reputation would only bring trouble.
She gritted her teeth, recalling what she had heard before, and said directly, "Siri, if you don't believe me, you can have it done by divination. I just don't want to miss the chance to escape because of everyone's excuses. That's all I have to say."
After saying that, Mao Duoduo got up and ran out; she still needed to inform others.
Almost as soon as CatDodo left, the village chief sneered without any politeness, "He's just a lying cat-like beastman. It's really too much to stir up trouble for everyone like this."
Given the chance, he would definitely drive this guy out, as a way of repaying the favor that Leopard Fierce had given him last time.
"Wait a minute," Siri suddenly said.
He took out the tortoise shell, which was rather simple, but its smooth surface had a certain special quality.
The others took a deep breath and instinctively held their attention, waiting for Siri to make his move. It was true that he was an ape-man, but he possessed a special divination ability, capable of foreseeing good and bad fortune.
It is precisely through this ability that Xili has successfully led the village through one disaster after another over the years...
Now, when Siri raises his hand, he begins to divine.
After the turtle shell was turned, it quickly and spontaneously stopped upstream.
Siri opened his eyes and looked in that direction. At that moment, his expression changed, as if he had already seen something.
The surrounding orcs were on edge. The village chief, seeing this, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if to say that such methods were completely futile.
Suddenly, Xili's voice cracked with panic, "Oh no, it's true! Tell everyone to take some food and move to higher ground on the mountain immediately!"
"yes--"
At the same time, Maoduo rushed to Valina's side to inform her to evacuate.
"You mean... you want me to move?" Valina was surprised. Her two companions looked left and right.
Are you sure? They've prepared a lot of things to get through this rainy season. It's unlikely they'll avoid getting wet during the relocation.
"Yes. Valina, I just saw it. It's really dangerous over there. The river could flood in at any moment..." Before CatDodo could finish speaking, Valina interrupted him.
The female orc's smile was as bright and generous as ever, and now her face showed only her usual trust. "No problem. We'll start the transfer right away."
With these words as a guarantee, Maoduoduo nodded vigorously.
She turned and ran to the river, gesturing with the prepared branch, her expression changing. "It's only been ten minutes, and the river has risen again. The upstream area is probably going to be completely flooded..."
Her mind was a little fuzzy, mainly because she wondered what a beastman like herself could do in the face of such a dangerous natural disaster.
Immediately, gritting her teeth, Maoduo hurried up the mountain to meet the others.
Now, the little ones live in this huge cave. They got caught in the rain on their way here and weren't feeling well, sneezing from time to time.
The cave was a bit damp, but its biggest advantage was that it could accommodate many people.
The downside is that it's too damp, making it inconvenient to keep them there for long.
