Chapter 88: The Fun-loving Cub
After two more days of peace, the arrival of the Xishan tribe did not bring about any changes within the Cangshan tribe. However, the challenges brought by the rainy season became increasingly severe, and problems followed one after another.
The first thing to be affected was that the tribe’s food reserves began to run out.
Mo Yan looked at the cave where food was stored. It was stinking and the prey was getting damp, which accelerated its decay. If this continued, the rotten meat would be inedible in a few days.
Gui held the wizard's staff in his hand, his brows furrowed, "We must find a way to go out hunting."
Except for Fuying and her two males, food in the tribe is distributed uniformly.
During this period, food distribution has been reduced. Many cubs and females cannot eat rotten meat and can only eat dry and astringent wild fruits. Even if they force themselves to swallow the spoiled meat, they will vomit it out with a blue face soon. Some cubs cry with hunger, and some even start to have stomach cramps.
Mo Yan dug his nails into his palms, his scarlet eyes filled with heaviness.
If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive until the end of the rainy season.
Gui looked at the continuous torrential rain outside the cave, lowered his voice, and said hesitantly: "How about asking Fu Ying? After all, she is a powerful witch and has not been out for a few days. Perhaps she has some ideas?"
Mo Yan's palms creaked as self-mockery flashed in his eyes. Was he going to beg her again?
However, before Mo Yan could step out of the food storage cave, a deafening roar suddenly tore through the rain curtain.
The sound was like thunder, carrying with it the violent animal nature!
Gui’s expression suddenly changed: “—It’s a giant lizard!”
Mo Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the scales on his body instantly surged out. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a giant scarlet python and rushed out of the cave like lightning.
Raindrops as big as beans hit his scarlet scales, but he was unaware of it and stared outside with his snake head raised.
Dozens of iron-scaled giant lizards as big as hills stared at the Cangshan tribe with greedy eyes. In a blink of an eye, they broke through the fence, knocked down huge trees, and left a mess wherever they passed.
The tribe was instantly in chaos.
The cries of the cubs, the screams of the females, and the rapid roars of the males intertwined together.
The leading monitor lizard was not in a hurry because there was a female sitting on him.
The female had fair skin and a soft body. She was none other than Sangjie who had been abandoned in the giant lizard tribe.
She was covered in a layer of giant lizard scales to protect herself from the heavy rain, and her slender fingers were entwined with her hair. When her eyes met Mo Yan, a strange smile appeared on her pale face.
"Mo Yan, I haven't congratulated you yet on becoming the leader of the Cangshan tribe."
As she spoke, her swollen belly was exposed to the air. Beneath her skin, which was so thin that it was almost transparent, blurry black shadows were wriggling violently, as if the cubs inside couldn't wait to break out of her belly.
Mo Yan stared at her coldly. The next moment, his bloody mouth opened wide, and his body rushed out like lightning, fighting with the giant lizard that broke into the Cangshan tribe. The ground cracked under the terrifying power of the star pattern.
A cold arc appeared on Sangjie's lips, and he patted the giant lizard leader under him: "Xifeng, as long as we bring back all the food from the Cangshan tribe, we can safely get through this rainy season."
Xifeng Xinzi bared his fangs, sneered, and the seven-star pattern on his forehead burst into a dazzling light.
Wherever the light reached, the wet sand and stones on the ground twisted and squirmed like living things, wrapping around the colorful giant pythons of the Cangshan tribe.
It turns out that the leader of the giant lizard tribe is already a seven-star pattern orc.
Mo Yan's pupils were as red as blood, his eyes were full of coldness, and a dark poisonous mist was surging around him.
The black fog seemed to have life, constantly spreading, and unexpectedly condensed into a giant scarlet python in the sky, with ferocious fangs, pouncing towards Xifeng and Sangjie. The fog rolled, and the whole tribe was echoing with the hissing of snakes.
…
The noise outside was like an earthquake, so Fu Ying naturally couldn't sleep.
She stood at the entrance of the cave, watching the earth-shaking battle between lizards and pythons with cold eyes.
The two orc tribes were originally incompatible. After what happened last time, the giant lizard tribe would definitely fight back. It was only a matter of time. The hungry rainy season was just an excuse for them to break up.
At this moment, a slightly tense voice sounded behind her: "Aying, I..."
"Go ahead. We are all in the Cangshan tribe. We can't just stand by and watch." Fu Ying turned and looked at Teng.
His snake tail curled up, leaving several messy marks on the ground. Obviously, the sudden attack of the giant lizard tribe also aroused the bloodiness in Teng's bones. After all, he was still a member of the Cangshan tribe.
The taut snake tail finally stretched out, drawing a smooth arc on the ground.
He stared at Fu Ying deeply, his dark green pupils seemed to contain thousands of words. The next moment, pitch-black scales covered his entire body like a tide. He quickly turned into a giant black python and disappeared in the rain curtain filled with the smell of blood.
Fu Ying withdrew his gaze and caught a glimpse of Bai Cang sitting leisurely in front of the stone table. He was playing with a bone knife with his fingertips and turned a deaf ear to the great changes in the Cangshan tribe.
Suddenly, a giant python's shrill roar was heard outside the cave.
Fu Ying was just about to turn around to take a look at the battle situation outside the cave when his expression suddenly changed and he froze in place.
Bai Cang had been keeping an eye on Fu Ying. Seeing this, his originally nonchalant expression suddenly froze.
He flashed to Fu Ying's side like a ghost and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms. However, when his fingertips touched her taut skin, his whole body seemed to be frozen, and his voice rarely trembled.
"Aying? What's wrong with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he smelled the smell of blood in the air, which was sweet and familiar.
His pupils suddenly shrank!
This is... Aying's blood!
Fu Ying covered her bulging belly and frowned: "I'm about to give birth."
As she spoke, warm blood flowed down her calves, blooming into glaring bloodstains on the ground.
Fu Ying took a deep breath. This feeling was too familiar to her, so she didn't feel nervous at all. She supported Bai Cang's stiff body and chuckled, "This kid really loves... loves to join in the fun."
The pain of labor crushed her words into pieces.
"I, I'll go, go..." Bai Cang was at a loss as he supported Fu Ying. His face was pale and his thin lips, which had lost all their blood color, were trembling violently. He was always a leisurely and calm man, but at this moment he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
"I can give birth by myself." Fu Ying grabbed Bai Cang's trembling wrist and walked towards the stone bed. With every step, more blood oozed out.
Compared to Bai Cang, who was a father for the first time, she was much calmer.
Such a big change happened in the Cangshan tribe today. It may be difficult to find someone to help. It is better to rely on yourself than to ask others.
She is definitely experienced when it comes to giving birth.
Cold sweat dripped down Fu Ying's tense jaw. Her beautiful face was pale, but she tore off her animal skin skirt neatly the moment she touched the stone bed. Her movements were extremely quick and skillful.
Bai Cang seemed to have lost all his sanity. He just held her hand with red eyes. Every nerve ending in his body was trembling, and he looked like his soul had flown away.
Fu Ying frowned and said coldly, "Go boil some water."
Bai Cang suddenly came back to his senses, met Fu Ying's gaze, his fingertips trembling slightly, and he turned around and staggered to boil water.
The fox was smart and naturally knew not to cause trouble at a time like this.
However, he did not cause trouble, but others came to cause trouble——
