"Chief, what's making such a loud noise outside?" Everyone in the tribe was awakened and ran out.
Yuan Jing looked in the direction where the sound came from and said, "It should be the loud noise caused by the flood breaking through the mountain. It is quite far from here. Let's do this for tonight. When it gets light, Long Dad and I will go out to take a look."
Of course, Long Dad is the stegosaurus dad. This is the name given by Yuan Jing. The stegosaurus mom is called Long Mom, and the little stegosaurus is called Xiaolong, so that it is easier to recognize.
They believed in the leader's words the most. After Yuan Jing said that, they calmed down and waited patiently for dawn. Yuan Jing took Xiong Feng to see Long Ba's family. If he didn't come, Long Ba would definitely come out to see. They were also very sensitive to what was happening outside.
Yuan Jing comforted the family and agreed to go out and take a look after dawn, and Long's father agreed.
Xiong Ji prepared breakfast for Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng early so that they could eat their fill before going out to check. This time, Yuan Jing only brought Long Dad with him, leaving Long Mom and Xiao Long in the tribe to prevent any sneak attacks.
Sitting on Long Ba's back, Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng were chewing some fruit, looking very relaxed. Halfway through the journey, they unexpectedly ran into Hu Li and his group who were in a very miserable state. Yuan Jing's soul power was the first to discover their presence. Yuan Jing was surprised that they were not in the tribe at this time, but appeared quite far away from the tribe, their whole bodies covered in mud.
Yuan Jing originally didn't want to pay attention to these orcs, but Longba was too big, and Hu Li, who first discovered them, ran towards them and shouted before he got close: "Leopard Yuan Jing, are you there?"
"Hu Li, why are you calling him? Isn't he a devil?" the other orcs asked in surprise.
"But the flood came, and the beast god was angry." Earthquakes were caused by the anger of the beast god, and floods were also caused by the anger of the beast god. Primitive humans, who had only a vague understanding of various natural and man-made disasters, attributed them all to the mysterious forces they did not understand.
Yuan Jing heard the shouts but didn't leave. He stopped Long Dad. He also wanted to know what these people were doing. Just like last time, he still stood on the back of the stegosaurus and looked down at the embarrassed Hu Li: "I'm here. What do you want me to do?"
"The flood is coming. The beast god is angry. The flood will destroy our tribe."
"But what does this have to do with me?" Yuan Jing said indifferently. He now knew what these people were doing. They should have gone to check the situation upstream of the river. Could it be that they took the news they had spread to heart? You know, in the plot, the flood was not discovered until it rushed to the tribe, so the loss was huge.
This is really rare. Didn't he say that he was a devil? He actually believed the devil's words, "I left the Mangrove Tribe a long time ago. I am now the leader of the Stegosaurus Tribe. I am only responsible for the safety of the Stegosaurus Tribe."
"How can you be so heartless?" Hu Li condemned angrily.
Yuan Jing sneered: "If you want me to be ruthless, that's fine. Let everyone in your tribe join the Jianlong Tribe and obey my orders from now on. I will think of a way to help you survive this disaster."
"We have our own tribe. Why should we join your tribe? Don't even think about it." A sub-human actually had the crazy idea of establishing a tribe and proclaiming himself the leader. Why didn't he go to heaven?
Yuan Jing shrugged and said to Hu Li: "Look, it's not that I'm heartless, but you don't accept it. Father Long, let's go."
"Ah--" Long Ba shouted, and the air flow almost knocked over Hu Li. Hu Li quickly dodged backwards, and Xiong Feng also followed suit, howling. The shouting made Hu Li and the others look extremely ugly, because Xiong Feng was laughing at them.
"It's so infuriating, I don't believe that a sub-human like him can escape this flood." Being ridiculed by a little orc, these orcs were relatively powerful in the Mangrove Tribe, otherwise they would not have sent them out to investigate, so they were very angry.
Hu Li wiped the rain off his face, feeling quite down, and turned around and said, "Let's go back quickly and bring back the news."
"Okay." Several orcs changed back into animal form and rushed towards the tribe. They were racing against time.
Yuan Jing and Long's father finally arrived at the scene of the accident. They found a safe place and saw that a large area of the mountain was washed away by the raging flood. The scene was spectacular, but also very dangerous. Tall trees were uprooted and washed away by the flood. Some fierce beasts that did not have time to escape were also caught in the flood and wailed, but some soon disappeared.
This is the power of nature. Dragon Dad was obviously a little scared of such power. He stretched his head and shook his body nervously. If Yuan Jing hadn't been there, he would have turned away from such a scene.
"Let's go back. Look at the current direction of the flood. It's not heading towards our valley, but the direction of the flood is not fixed." So the crisis in the valley has not been resolved yet.
Long Dad immediately turned around and walked away quickly, which made Yuan Jing laugh. However, having a sense of awe for nature is more conducive to growing in this land.
During the journey, Xiong Feng kept howling. After a while, Yuan Jing could guess the meaning of some of the beast language. He pinched his ear and said, "Xiong Feng, are you asking if the flood was caused by the anger of the beast god?" After seeing Xiong Feng nod repeatedly, he explained, "The flood was caused by a reason..."
On the way, Yuan Jing explained how the flood was formed and why it was so powerful. Even Long's father pricked up his ears to listen.
The reason for such a big flood is that the rainfall this year is greater than in previous years, and there is too much water accumulated in the upper reaches. As a result, the accumulated flood rushed down with tremendous force. The greater the drop in height, the stronger the power of the flood, and the greater the disaster caused.
Xiong Feng and Long Dad both understood. The flood was less mysterious in their minds, but they could still feel its horror. If Long Dad had encountered that scene just now, he might not have been able to escape. Whether he could survive the flood depended on God's will.
The people of the Stegosaurus tribe were guarding the wall, and they ran out when they saw Long Ba appear from afar. Yuan Jing told them the news, and they were scared but relieved at the same time. Fortunately, the flood was not coming towards the valley, but they also remembered Yuan Jing's words to always observe the direction of the flood to prevent it from rushing towards them. No one wanted their new tribe to be destroyed by the flood.
The Mangrove Tribe was not so relaxed. The news brought back by Hu Li and his companions made the tribe leader and priests immediately order to pack up and move to other places. They had no ability to change the direction of the flood because that was the wrath of the Beast God. Someone had angered the Beast God. The Beast God was the supreme being. How could humans change the power of God and compete with God?
The relocation of the tribe was a very troublesome matter. The stored food of the tribe was packed in bundles with animal skins and placed on the backs of orcs who had transformed into animal forms. The bigger the orcs were, the more welcome they were at this moment. When the flood was about to come, they finally left the tribe.
When they climbed to the high ground and looked down, they saw the raging flood that swallowed up their tribe. Many demihumans started crying, and the little orcs and little demihumans cried anxiously. The adults looked very confused. Their tribe was gone, so where should they go?
"Chief, where should we go to survive?"
The patriarch and the priest discussed it, and Hu Li and Xiong An Ning also got involved, because they were able to avoid this disaster thanks to Xiong An Ning's reminder. Xiong An Ning was indeed a messenger of God, and only a messenger of God could convey such a will.
"An Ning, what do you think?" the priest asked Xiong An Ning kindly.
Xiong Anning himself was at a loss. Apart from the Mangrove Tribe, he had only been to the Snake Tribe and had never been to any other place. This Orc Continent was different from his original world. He looked at Hu Li and said, "Why don't we go to other tribes first?"
Hu Li agreed with his partner's proposal and chimed in, "Our tribe has a good relationship with the Ox Tribe. Perhaps the Ox Tribe can take us in for a while, and then we can slowly look for a place to settle the tribe."
The tribe leader and the priest looked at each other, and the tribe leader sighed and said, "It can only be done this way. When this matter is over, I will pass the position of tribe leader to you, Hu Li. From now on, our Mangrove Tribe will be handed over to you."
“Chief…”
The chief waved his hand and ordered the tribesmen: "Let's go, let's go to the cattle tribe."
The large army set off again. The chief looked back at the location of the Mangrove Tribe and thought of Bao Yuanjing's father, Bao Meng, an orc who was more powerful than Hu Li. Logically, the position of the chief should belong to Bao Meng. If Bao Meng was still there, would the tribe not have come to this point?
When Bao Meng was alive, the tribe leader was extremely jealous of him, because Bao Meng's words were more effective than his. Finally, Bao Meng died, but the tribe suffered such a great disaster that they could not even keep the tribe's residence. The whole tribe had to start wandering. The tribe leader was very worried. Could it be that his actions angered the Beast God, who brought disaster to the Mangrove Tribe?
No, it's not him, it's the sub-human Bao Yuanjing. He is a devil and he brought this disaster.
On the way, Xiong Anning whispered to Hu Li: "Can't we go to Bao Yuanjing for help? After all, he is a member of our Mangrove Tribe. Can he just watch us die? That valley is safe now, and it is big and spacious enough."
There are dinosaurs protecting it, which is much safer than other places. Besides, the new tribe established by Bao Yuanjing only has a few people? It is better to fight against them than against the cattle tribe.
Yes, Xiong Anning’s idea is to turn the tables, so that he can find out the secret of how Bao Yuanjing controls the dinosaurs.
Hu Li recalled the cold expression on Bao Yuanjing's face when he met him before, and shook his head and said, "He won't agree. He has changed a lot. He is no longer the same."
What was the original Leopard Yuanjing like? Hu Li recalled that he should have been a very gentle subhuman, but the current Leopard Yuanjing was cold and ruthless. Except for showing a gentle look to the orc cub in his arms, he no longer had a good face towards him and other orcs in the tribe.
Xiong Anning didn't want to give up easily, so he advised, "How do we know it won't work if we don't try? Maybe he had a grudge against our tribe before, but this time so many people are in trouble, will he just watch them die without helping?"
After several persuasions, Hu Li was also a little tempted, so he went to the tribe leader and the priest to tell them about this. The tribe leader and the priest also coveted the place in the valley, which was a better place than the mangroves, but because it had always been occupied by the scary big guys, they never dared to take the land.
The priest said, "Why don't we send a few people over to ask first? If Bao Yuanjing agrees to let us move in and doesn't let that big guy cause trouble, the tribe leader and I will let the tribe accept him back again."
Hu Li ignored Yuan Jing's two words that it had nothing to do with the Mangrove Tribe, and left the main group with several other orcs, heading towards the valley. Xiong An Ning really wanted to go with them, but with Hu Li and the others around, their speed would be much slower, so they had to move with the main group.
When they arrived near the valley, they found that the place had changed drastically. Of course, they had only seen it from afar before, but this time, there was a tall and solid wall erected there. Was it built by the Stegosaurus Tribe?
Hu Li looked at the wall in confusion. An Ning had once mentioned to him that by building such a wall around the tribe, they could block the attacks of fierce beasts during the snowy season. The tribe leader and the priests had indeed considered this issue, but they encountered a flood before they could implement it.
"Who is it?" There were people guarding the wall, taking turns. When they saw a figure appear in the rain, they immediately shouted.
Hu Li and his men hurriedly came out and shouted to the people on the wall, "I am Hu Li from the Mangrove Tribe, and I want to talk to Bao Yuanjing about something."
"Just wait outside. I'll ask someone to find the leader. He's our leader, okay?" The orc on the wall corrected them. They couldn't be disrespectful to their leader, and then turned around and called people inside.
Hu Li and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Normally, the people of the Mangrove Tribe rarely met them, so they didn't know that Leopard Yuanjing had such a high status in the eyes of these orcs that they couldn't even call him by his name.
In the eyes of orcs, demi-humans are only used to give birth to cubs. Unless they can have the status of priests, they are all the same. Does Leopard Yuanjing have such ability?
"You forgot that he is a devil, and he must have used devilish power to make these orcs obedient." An orc reminded.
"But are we here to ask the devil for help now?" another orc reminded.
"This..." The man was speechless.
Hu Li frowned and said, "When Bao Yuanjing comes out, don't mention the devil anymore."
"I understand." The man replied quickly.
Hearing that Hu Li came to their tribe to look for someone, Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it Hu Li himself or the people from the Mangrove Tribe who came?"
According to the speed of the flood, it should have reached the location of the Mangrove Tribe by now, so Hu Li came here at this time, is he still eyeing the valley? But in the plot, it is because the three members of the Jianlong family have left. Now not only is Jianlong here, but there is also a Jianlong Tribe. Why are they still here?
"It was just Hu Li and three other orcs. The others did not show up."
"I'll go and see what they're up to."
"Aoao." Xiong Feng climbed quickly and hugged Yuan Jing's legs. He wanted to go too. He knew Hu Li. Xiong Gu had told him long ago that Hu Li was going to form a contract with Yuan Jing, but later he fell in love with another demi-human and gave up Yuan Jing. However, Xiong Feng was very unhappy every time he saw Hu Li and was very wary of him.
Yuan Jing did not think much about it. Xiong Feng would stick to him wherever he went anyway, so he picked him up out of habit and walked out together. He climbed up the wall and looked down from the top. Sure enough, he saw four orcs waiting below in the rain.
Yuan Jing didn't want to let them in to talk, so he shouted on the wall: "I'm here, what do you want?"
"Bao Yuanjing, can you let us in to talk?" They saw a door.
But Yuan Jing would never do as he wished, and said lazily: "Just say it here, I don't think I have anything good to say to you."
Hu Li was choked by Yuan Jing's words. The other orcs were not so good-tempered. They opened their mouths to spray, but were stopped by Hu Li. After all, these orcs still did not take Yuan Jing, the sub-human, seriously. They still thought that he was the weak sub-human who could be bullied by anyone in the tribe.
Xiong Gu also came and was not used to their attitude: "If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to say it, our leader will go back."
The appearance of Xiong Gu made the orcs calm down a bit. Xiong Gu was originally a powerful orc from the Bear Tribe, not much inferior to Hu Li, so they still had some respect for him. How could such a powerful orc listen to Bao Yuanjing, a sub-human? Did Bao Yuanjing want to form a pact with him?
Such a thought also flashed through Hu Li's mind, and this thought made him unhappy, because although he gave up the sub-human Bao Yuanjing, in his impression, Bao Yuanjing had always been chasing after him, so how could he have other orcs?
Hu Li frowned and shouted, "Bao Yuanjing, the Mangrove Tribe was destroyed by the flood. You are a subhuman of our Mangrove Tribe, and your father was a warrior of our Mangrove Tribe. If your father is still alive, he definitely doesn't want to see the Mangrove Tribe destroyed."
As expected, he still had his eyes on this valley, and even knew how to use Dayi and his original body's father to suppress me. Who said that orcs are simple and innocent?
"My father? It's a pity that my father died fighting for the tribe, but I was starving in the tribe. If my father were still alive, how would he feel? What did I do that angered the heavens and the people, and you even withheld the food that was supposed to be distributed to me? Why didn't you think at that time that my father died fighting to protect the Mangrove Tribe?"
It was spring and food was plentiful. It was impossible for the tribe to not be able to feed a healthy subhuman, forcing the original body to leave the tribe to find food. Wasn't it intentional on the part of the people in the tribe? How dare they mention the original body's father?
Hu Li panicked and quickly explained: "I don't know about this..."
"What does it matter whether you know or not? You thought I died outside, so you were relieved, right? I've said it before, the day I left the Mangrove Tribe, I'm no longer a member of the Mangrove Tribe, what does your life or death have to do with me? But if you join the Stegosaurus Tribe and abandon the Mangrove Tribe, I can have someone open the door and welcome you in."
"You..." The other orcs almost cursed when they heard it, but the roar of the stegosaurus coming from the wall made their voices stuck in their throats and they dared not curse out loud.
They didn't curse, but Xiong Feng started to curse on the wall. It turned out that his Yuanyuan was bullied by the people of the Mangrove Tribe. Now he wanted to live in the valley. What a dream! Yuanyuan was right. What did their life and death have to do with Yuanyuan?
The other people in the tribe were also indignant when they heard this. They didn't expect that they had treated the leader like this before. They didn't expect that the people of the Mangrove Tribe were so bad! At the same time, they gloated that the people of the Mangrove Tribe were blind and could not see the ability of the leader. It would be better if the leader left. Otherwise, if the leader was there, the Mangrove Tribe would definitely be fine. They deserved this fate.
