"Don't worry. The flying orcs have a wide range of activities, especially the flying orcs in our tribe. They often run around. In order to prevent losing contact, they all have unique contact methods, and Xie will tell them his general route every time he goes out." Camo explained.
"That's good." Lian nodded.
Kamo looked at the chain for a moment and asked, "What happened to you after you were blown away by the wind? We couldn't find you anywhere."
Meng Yuqing, Xuan and Xun also looked at the chain curiously. They had been curious for a long time about how the chain was lost.
Lian didn't answer immediately, as if he was reminiscing.
After a long while, he looked at the curious eyes of Meng Yuqing and the other two, and then he spoke, "Let me tell you from the beginning."
Meng Yuqing and Xuan immediately sat up straight, and Xun also slowed down, ready to listen carefully.
"At that time, the tribe members didn't allow me to go out freely, but the little orcs my age didn't have such restrictions. I was very dissatisfied, so..."
"So you rebelled? You ran away secretly?" Meng Yuqing said.
Lian seemed a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "Yes, I was flying towards the seaside because I knew that many orcs would fly there and play in the water. I wanted to go too, but I didn't go to a place they often went. I was mainly afraid of being discovered and caught."
"After arriving at the beach, I played alone for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark, I prepared to return to the tribe. Since I was going back, I wasn't afraid of being discovered, so I flew very high."
At this time, Kamo suddenly added, "That evening, it suddenly started to blow hard and rain heavily. The wind was so strong that even adult flying orcs had a hard time keeping their balance in the sky. Many trees were blown down, and the water was blown up. It was really terrible. After the wind and rain stopped, the tribesmen returned one after another, except Lian. He never came back. He disappeared."
After Kamo finished speaking, Lian continued, "I was blown away. The wind was so strong that I couldn't control my body at all. My feathers were wet, and a lot of dead wood was blown into the sky. I subconsciously tried to steady myself, so I grabbed a piece of dead wood that was blown away. When the wind completely died down, I found myself in the sea holding on to the dead wood."
Lian lowered his head and sighed, "I must have been blown very far away. I had no idea where I was. There was no sign of Bird Island. I was tired, cold, and hungry. I could only lie on a dead tree and float along the sea."
When Kamo heard Lian say this, he lay down directly and stroked Lian's feathers with his face.
He only knew that the chain was blown away at that time, but he had no idea what happened after the chain was blown away, and could only live in worry every day.
"Then what?" Meng Yuqing asked nervously.
The chain was so small at that time. If a person floated in the sea, not to mention whether he would starve to death, he would easily be hunted by wild beasts in the sea.
"Maybe I was lucky. Before I was hunted by the beasts in the sea, I met a turtle orc. But he might not be the orcs living in the waters around Bird Island. He wasn't very old either, probably just an adult. He asked me where my tribe was so he could take me back."
Lian smiled and continued a little embarrassedly, "I was pretty stupid at the time and didn't know people outside called it Bird Island. So I told him I only knew my tribe was called the Feather Tribe and was on land, but I had no idea which direction it was. Then he carried me on his back and floated across the sea for a long time, finally delivering me to the southern continent."
"After sending me ashore, he originally wanted to send me back to the tribe before leaving, but he really couldn't stay on land for long. At that time, I thought I had already reached the shore, and it would only take a few minutes to return to the tribe, so I persuaded him to leave. Who knew that I reached the wrong shore."
Xun couldn't help but sigh, "This is too tortuous. You finally met a kind orc who took you out of danger, but you ended up taking the wrong way home."
"Haha." Lian laughed twice and said, "The twists and turns are still to come."
"What else happened?" Xuan asked. The Qingshan tribe was not close to the seaside.
"Before he left, he caught a lot of wild animals for me so I could eat my fill before returning home," Lian said with a grin. "That was the only time I was completely full in over a year."
"After he left, I ran out of food within a few days, but I still couldn't find the tribe, so I had to hunt on my own. I didn't dare to catch big beasts, so I could only focus on the small ones."
"It was going pretty smoothly at the beginning. Every time I caught something, I wouldn't eat much before other beasts were attracted by the smell of blood and I'd be chased away. But at least I didn't starve to death."
"Then one time, when I was targeting a flying beast's cub and was about to catch it, I was discovered by its parent beast. It was a medium-sized beast, and there was no way I could defeat it at the time."
"I can only rely on my smaller size to sneak into the densely wooded area."
"That thing was really persistent. It ignored the cubs in its den and chased me for more than ten days. During those ten days, I survived by eating fruits or picking up leftovers from other wild animals."
"Every time I just had to eat a couple of bites and then run for my life."
"Then it finally remembered it had cubs in its den and stopped chasing me. But then I found myself in an unfamiliar place again."
"If it weren't for that beast, I would probably have been wandering around the seashore, and maybe I would have been found."
"During the period after that, I survived by catching small, insignificant wild animals, or eating fruits and picking up leftovers from wild animals."
"One time, I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it any more. I couldn't find any leftovers from wild animals. Orcs can't just eat fruits. I wanted to hunt on my own, but I couldn't find any suitable beasts. So I had to find a relatively weak beast as my target."
"Then, I met Fei that time, and he brought me back to the Qingshan Tribe."
After saying this, he felt the silence among the people around him, so he raised his voice and said, "You see, I'm quite lucky. I was about to die twice, but I met kind adult orcs and was saved both times."
Meng Yuqing also came back to his senses and agreed with a smile, "Yes, those who survive a great disaster will surely be blessed in the future. We are the chosen ones of the chain. When God bestows a great mission upon such a person, it must first make their hearts suffer, their muscles and bones toil, and their bodies starve."
He spoke somewhat incoherently, not caring whether the others could understand him or not.
Kamo buried his face directly into the feathers of the chain, trembling slightly.
"Later, Fei wanted to help me find a tribe to send me back, but at that time, we didn't call this area of water the sea."
"So I said it was on land near a lot of water. I flew over many places and couldn't find it."
"I felt even more that life in the Yu Tribe was just a fantasy, and then I forgot a lot of things." Lian looked at Meng Yuqing and Xuan and continued, "You will know what happened next."
To say that I have forgotten is more like deliberately not thinking about it, letting those memories be buried in the deepest part.
