The further away from the Savage Beast Forest, the more solemn the expression on Feng Yan's face became.
He flew almost along the same route to the lake. The scene when they came here more than three months ago was still vivid in his mind.
At that time, the vegetation along the way was still lush and green, the grass and trees were full of vitality and vigor, and there were traces of animal activities everywhere.
But now, the once lush forests have become dying under the scorching sun, as if most of their vitality and energy have been drained away.
On some gravel beaches that were originally overgrown with weeds, the original green has faded, leaving only withered and yellow grass stems swaying weakly in the wind, as if they were the last struggle of life.
The animals in the mountains and forests have also lost their former vitality and are rarely seen during the day.
No tribe dared to settle near the Savage Beast Forest, so Feng Yan couldn't find any orcs to ask, so he could only speed up and fly towards the lake.
This kind of situation would also happen during the hot season in previous years. The death of grass and trees during the hot season was not a big deal at all. His first priority now was to determine the condition of rivers and lakes.
As long as the water source on the ground is not cut off, the orcs still have hope of survival. As long as they can hold on for another two months, they can survive the hot season and usher in the rainy season.
Feng Yan felt heavy in his heart. He only stopped to rest for half an hour at the hottest time of the day, and then continued on his journey.
However, he had already begun to worry. If the high temperatures of this hot season caused a drought, what would he face after leaving the Savage Beast Forest?
No matter how powerful the orcs are, how can they defeat the power of nature?
Zhenzhen is just a third-level holy female. She is delicate and soft and so afraid of heat. Can she really withstand such a harsh climate outside?
Can it solve problems that even the Beast God cannot solve?
In the past hot seasons, when it didn't rain for several months and food and water were scarce, what else could the tribe do besides offering sacrifices and praying to the beast god?
…
At this moment, several tribes near the Yami Plain are facing unprecedented severe tests.
A few months ago, the plain was still green when Long Zhenzhen attended the grand rally, but now only scattered green remains near the water.
The rest of the place was covered with dead grass, and the ground was showing signs of cracking.
There have been no orcs participating in the grand gathering since last month.
It was so hot during the day that the beastmen chose to stay in their caves and not come out at all in order to maintain their strength and drink less water.
Only after sunset or before sunrise will the males come out to hunt and fetch water.
As water sources decreased, hunting became increasingly difficult because the prey all followed the water plants and began to migrate to other places.
At this moment, there were no large animals to be seen on the vast Yami Plain.
In the Langteng tribe, Langye, as the strongest warrior, was called to the beast cave by the old patriarch to discuss matters.
Those sitting in the beast cave are all elite members of the tribal hunting team, and each of them has the strength of at least a second-level supernatural warrior.
Lang Hao had long since recovered from his injuries and returned to the tribe, and he was also present at this meeting. However, the most important position beside the tribe leader no longer belonged to him, but to his younger brother, Lang Ye.
Their Langteng tribe is considered the largest tribe near the Yami Plain. It has the largest number of second- and third-level warriors, and the number of females is also far ahead.
However, the Langteng tribe's territory is in the mountains, and this year's hot weather is so abnormal that the mountain streams dried up a few days ago...
In just half a month, the clan leader organized three sacrifices to the beast god, but they watched the stream dry up without even a drizzle of rain.
For the past two days, the females have to fetch water from the small river two hills away.
The chieftain, Wolf Head, brought up the topic from last time again - migration.
As he grew older, he began to look a bit old and no longer had the vigor and vitality of his youth.
The high temperature in the past month has kept Wolf Head worried and unable to sleep at night. Now surrounded by a group of young males, he looks even more haggard in comparison.
"Tell me, the stream in the back mountain has been dry for three days. Besides migrating, what else can we do?"
The wolf head's sharp eyes swept across the group of males sitting there. This was all the hope for the future of their Langteng tribe, if... they could survive this hot season safely.
The young males below all had tanned skin, and almost all of them had pale faces and chapped lips. Compared to their youth, they had all lost a lot of weight.
Males who are not in a partner are slightly better off. Those who have a partner, even if they bring back water, will first give it to the females and cubs in the family.
Males only drink a little when they are extremely thirsty to ensure that they can maintain their physical strength.
None of the orcs below spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing for a moment.
At any time, being away from their familiar homes is a very difficult decision for the orcs.
Many orcs never leave their homeland throughout their lives, because to them, the unknown represents endless dangers, and even the way they die is unpredictable.
The fear of the unknown is deeply engraved in the bones of every orc. From the moment they are born, they are unable to resist the unknown environment and dare not try unknown food. They are firmly bound by the cognition passed down by their predecessors.
"Let's migrate a short distance to the northeast first! The Ulan Tribe has the largest river nearby and a third-level Holy Female. I'm sure the situation there is much better than ours."
After a long silence, Langye was the first to speak.
