Like Si Yan, there were many orcs on the mountain in the rain.
The rain washed over her delicate cheeks, and the mud and traces of mascara on her face eventually gave way to a beautiful, clean face.
Little Dongchi hugged Siyan, and for the first time he realized how beautiful his mother was.
Xi Qing and Bei Ji also saw Si Yan's appearance. It was rare for them to see Si Yan without having to hide herself. She remained silent and quiet, occasionally stealing glances to admire the beauty of her mother.
"Si Yan?"
The excited call from the male behind her made Si Yan turn around. Not far away in the rain, a male gray wolf was looking at her with shining eyes.
Si Yan recognized the male in front of her as Lang Feng, the first male beastman she had met since being reborn into this world.
Dong Chi wiped Si Yan's face with his cold, muddy hands.
Si Yan's frozen body was covered in a patch of cold mud. She looked at Dong Chi in confusion.
Dong Chi's face was extremely pale. His eyes had turned into dangerous vertical pupils, and his cold eyes were fixed on Lang Feng, as if warning the male in the distance.
Not only that, even the way Xi Qing and Bei Ji looked at Lang Feng changed.
This series of changes made Si Yan pause for a moment. Then she sensitively wondered if Lang Feng was a bad male, which was why her cub was suddenly so wary.
At this moment, Si Yan was completely unaware of how dangerous it was for a male without a female to see her beautiful, rain-soaked face.
In the old society, women did need to dirty their faces to protect themselves, but after cultural change, women have long since gained freedom of expression regarding their appearance.
Women adorn themselves for those they please. This has been a consensus among women for many years since they gained the ability to protect themselves!
However, the social rules of this beast world are different. There are more males than females. Even a female like Xiong Rou can be pursued by males, and beautiful females are extremely precious treasures.
In order to obtain females, and in order to reproduce.
So what if it costs me my life?!
A hint of annoyance flashed in Dong Chi's eyes.
He had noticed long ago that his mother's face had been washed clean by the rain.
But for some reason, he was greedy for such a real mother, even for a short while.
As a result, other males saw their mother's true appearance.
Realizing his ambition had been exposed, Lang Feng quickly averted his gaze. He tried his best to appear simple and easygoing.
"Si Yan, you've come up the mountain too?" he greeted.
Si Yan gripped the children's hands warily. Her expression was natural as she said, "The rain is too heavy; the cave is flooded."
Lang Feng laughed and said, "Don't worry, this is only temporary. The rain will stop tomorrow."
"Why do you say that?" Si Yan asked.
After saying that, Lang Feng said, "The village chief just sent a message that the high priest in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts has announced that the Blazing Sun is coming soon. This heavy rain is just a final burst of light before the Blazing Sun arrives. The high priest's prophecy has never been wrong."
Dong Chi's pupils trembled slightly.
The Fiery Day, the Fiery Day is really coming soon!
He tightened his grip on Si Yan's hand slightly.
Lang Feng looked down the mountain and said, "The village chief is trying to find a way to store water, but it's not really working."
Si Yan squeezed the three cubs' hands reassuringly and said to Lang Feng, "We're going up the mountain first."
Lang Feng quickly said, "I'll go with you."
Si Yan stepped back and said, "Thank you, but no need."
Si Yan led her three cubs up the mountain. Lang Feng watched the family of four walk away, his eyes gradually revealing undisguised greed.
No wonder Tyson likes her.
She's really a beautiful female.
She doesn't have a second male yet, and she is very fertile.
He'd rather die than use any means necessary, as long as he could have a litter of babies with her!
...
After Si Yan left, Dong Chi's cold voice rang in her ear: "He is no good beast."
Despite his cold tone, Si Yan could still sense the concern within it. Si Yan said, "Don't worry, I won't pay him any attention."
Dong Chi was slightly taken aback, then immediately turned his head away. "Don't misunderstand. I wasn't concerned about you."
Si Yan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I know."
Dong Chi got a little angry at her teasing tone and was about to argue when he turned around and saw her face covered in mud. For some reason, he forgot to get angry.
Finally, he turned his head away again.
I don't know if the rain will stop tomorrow. But it's been raining quite heavily today.
Si Yan found a huge rock under a rock. The rocks under the rock were higher up and not too wet.
She took the straw mats off the cubs and hung them under the rocks to block the rain from splashing in. Luckily, she found a few relatively dry pieces of wood under the rocks as well.
She lit the wood with a lighter, and the cubs took off their animal skin skirts and roasted them beside the wood.
For a brief moment, the atmosphere became surprisingly warm and cozy.
In the end, it was Si Yan herself who broke the warm atmosphere.
She asked softly, "What will happen on a blazing day?"
“You will die,” Dong Chi said coldly.
Xi Qing poked at the fire and whispered, "They'll die of heat and thirst."
Bei Ji began, “Legend has it that the Blazing Day is the day when the sun god is angry, a day of disaster.”
The warmth vanished after the three children took turns speaking, leaving only fear and a sense of urgency in the face of death.
Si Yan laughed: "That scary?"
Dong Chi glanced at Si Yan with a chilling look and said, "Females die the fastest."
Si Yan slapped his head: "Can't you wish me well for once?"
Dong Chi touched his head and quieted down again.
Xi Qing said, "I've heard that the temperature of the blazing sun can quickly cook an egg. This temperature is almost enough to kill off birds."
"I've heard that hard-boiled eggs are quite delicious," Bei Ji said, looking up.
Xi Qing looked at Bei Ji and said, "We'll also get so hot our skin will burn; we can't stay in the cave."
“The water will dry up quickly, and there will be no water to drink,” Dong Chi said. “The females will soon complain that they are too delicate to withstand the sun’s wrath and will likely be the first to die.”
"You really want me to die," Si Yan said with a smile.
Dong Chi gave a soft snort.
Even on a rainy day, she took him with her. But on a scorching hot day, that was a day when they truly faced life and death.
He has difficulty moving his hands and feet, and he's a burden to her. She will definitely, definitely, definitely abandon him!
"How long will the blazing sun last? Is there any way to avoid it?" Si Yan asked.
Eastern Equator: "I heard that the last blazing day was a month ago."
"A month..." Si Yan murmured. It was indeed a bit long.
Dong Chi continued, “When the blazing sun arrives, all the water on the ground will dry up, except for Dark Sun Lake… It is a natural underground lake with lush vegetation nearby, so the water there will not dry up completely when the blazing sun arrives. It is the only place where we can escape.”
Upon hearing this, Si Yan perked up.
Dong Chi then said, "But..."
