Chapter 14 I Love You
Before the two could escape, tragic news arrived—a massive beast tide, rare in a century, erupted in the Ruble Forest!
The star beasts and orcs feed on each other. Before the cold season comes every year, the orcs who have retained their primitive nature will store food for the winter. The hungry star beasts will also form beast tides to attack nearby orc tribes and plunder food.
This is not the first time that the Kordo tribe has encountered a beast tide in the decades since its establishment. They also have measures to deal with ordinary beast tides, but the scale of this beast tide is unprecedented!
Thousands of star beasts that were starving and mad surrounded the entire tribe inside and out.
No one gets out alive.
The Koldo tribe vowed to fight the beast tide to the death, but in just one night, nearly a hundred orcs were killed or injured.
The old patriarch came in person and knelt on the ground, begging Lan Cang to stay and protect the tribe and help the Kordo tribe resist the crisis of genocide.
Use this last favor to buy a glimmer of hope for the Kordo tribe.
Lan Cang did not agree immediately and went to the backyard to discuss with Sang Luo.
As expected, war broke out in the Ruble Forest, but unexpectedly, it was a war with star beasts.
The Ruble Forest is indeed unsafe now. The longer you stay here, the greater the risk.
Sang Luo saw the confusion in Lan Cang's eyes. She knew very well that Lan Cang was a man who valued love and friendship. That was why she fell in love with this man.
"Stay here and help the Koldo tribe resist the beast tide, then we'll leave."
To be honest, after staying in the tribe for so long, she has more or less some feelings for the orcs here. Li Man and Aya are also in the tribe, and Sang Luo couldn't bear to watch them die in the beast tide.
"I see."
"Lancang, you must come back safely. Once you get through this difficult time, we'll move to the city. When things settle down, I'll..."
Lan Cang looked at her with burning eyes.
Sang Luo smiled playfully, took his hand and placed it on her abdomen.
"When I'm in a good mood someday, maybe I'll bear a baby for you."
It's not because of adapting to local customs, nor is it because of her special talents. Sang Luo really likes Lan Cang and wants to be with this man and have children.
If she could return to the modern era in the future, she would definitely find a way to bring him back.
If I can't go back, I'll spend the rest of my life with him.
One has to admit that she has new concerns in this other world.
No male orc can withstand the sweet talk of a baby-bearing woman.
He kissed her hard on the lips, "Okay, I'll wait!"
Lan Cang turned around and agreed to stay with the clan leader to resist the beast tide.
He had been missing for the past few days, and the number of orc casualties in the tribe dropped sharply. Sang Luo heard from the tribe leader and others that Lan Cang led the team bravely and killed many star beasts. The Kordo tribe, which could not even withstand the siege of the beast tide for three days, managed to hold on for half a month.
After so long unable to take down this small tribe, the Star Beasts seemed to be growing fearful and no longer attacked recklessly. Instead, they engaged in a round-the-clock battle, showing no sign of retreating. Their numbers were only increasing, while the number of Orcs was decreasing day by day, and a decline was evident...
Every few days, Lan Cang would squeeze out time to come back in the middle of the night to see her.
Every time he came back, there was a lingering smell of blood on his body. He changed into a black shirt and black pants, so it was impossible to see where the wounds were, but Sang Luo could guess that his injuries were getting more serious each time.
This beast tide is a tough battle.
Before the cold season came, a rainstorm and snowstorm broke out in the Ruble Forest. The temperature dropped sharply, dark clouds covered the city, and there were lightning and thunder outside. It was clearly daytime, but it seemed as if it had entered night in an instant, without a trace of light.
A loud thunder suddenly split the sky in two, and the whole world suddenly became as bright as day, like the end of the world in a horror movie.
A tall, familiar, bloody figure appeared outside the window.
Sang Luo's breathing became tight and she hurried to open the door. The biting cold air mixed with wind, snow and the smell of blood reached her nose. Lan Cang almost fell into her arms. His face was frighteningly pale and blood was still flowing from the corner of his lips. His clothes had long been tattered, and his wounds were clearly exposed, staining most of her skirt red.
Sang Luo's tears suddenly burst out, she hugged him tightly, choking with sobs and unable to speak.
No matter how badly hurt he was outside, Lan Cang would never let her see it. But this time, he didn't have time to heal the wounds on his body, and came back covered in blood.
As soon as Lan Cang closed the door, he couldn't wait to hug her tightly, kissing her lips with his cold lips, plundering her wantonly.
Feeling his eager and passionate desire, Sang Luo was so shocked that she forgot to resist.
"The injuries on your body..."
"Don't say anything, Luoluo, let me feel you again."
His voice was hoarse.
This time, unlike before, he was gentle and patient, but direct and intense. It was as if he wanted to gather all his future thoughts in this moment and give her everything he had. Sang Luo couldn't bear it and fell into a deep sleep. She didn't know when it ended...
In a daze, a kiss fell on the forehead.
"If I don't come back... find another male who is stronger than me. Don't let yourself be wronged."
"Luoluo, I love you."
When he woke up, Lan Cang had already left. There was a whole bag of beast crystals beside the bed. Sang Luo felt a huge panic inexplicably, as if a piece of his heart was empty.
Someone outside was knocking on the door frantically and was about to break in at any moment.
Sang Luo hurriedly stuffed the bag of animal crystals into his clothes and ran to open the door. It was Li Man and the others.
Li Man's eyes were red and swollen, and she had been crying for the past few days. Three of her companions died in this battle.
She hurriedly grabbed Sang Luo's hand and shouted, "Luoluo, let's run! The Koldo tribe is doomed to fall. We can't hold on! If we don't run now, it will be too late!"
Outside the door was not only Li Man, but also many familiar tribal females and cubs. They had all packed up their bags, and the number of male beasts around them had obviously been reduced by half, and most of them were injured.
Sang Luo suddenly shook his head frantically and hurriedly grabbed Aya's hand.
[Where are the other orcs in the tribe? Aren't there still many orcs fighting star beasts outside the tribe? When they return and find the tribe is gone and they can't find anyone, where will they go to find us...]
"There are no orcs outside the tribe..." Alive.
Aya exchanged glances with her friend, and Kemu spoke sadly.
Sang Luo's blood turned cold and he staggered back a step.
Impossible, Lan Cang hasn't come back yet, how could...
Kemu knew what she wanted to ask, and his tense body trembled. "Brother Lancang ran into the beast tide alone this morning, disappeared, and never came back..."
He didn't dare to say any more. Everyone present knew that it was impossible for anyone to escape the beast tide alive.
【how so?】
"We encountered a seventh-level peak Star Beast King, the same one that nearly killed Lan Cang back then. Moreover, this time the Star Beast King is even more powerful, far beyond the ability of orcs of our level to resist..."
"Brother Lancang, there's no way he can be alive!"
Sang Luo almost collapsed to the ground. It turned out that he came to see her in a hurry last night to say goodbye.
No wonder he was so abnormal.
"Luoluo, there's no time to be sad now. The Koldo tribe will be captured soon, and the star beasts will find us soon. This morning, half of the orc warriors risked their lives to help us find a secret passage leading to the outside world. Let's quickly pack up, escape through the secret passage, and seek refuge with other tribes!"
"The large tribes and cities have protective walls that can resist the invasion of beast tides. Time waits for no one, so we must hurry and run. If we don't leave now and are discovered by the star beasts, we will be stuck!"
Li Man was so anxious that she asked a tiger companion to transform into a beast and pull her on it.
The remaining orcs traveled day and night and left the captured Koldo tribe.
