Chapter 159
Although it is cruel, this is the fact. The destructive power of the eighth-level monster is beyond imagination. The patriarch of the argali tribe and the warriors who stayed behind must have been determined to die, so they fought for a glimmer of hope for their people.
Qi, Heiyan and others looked heavy-hearted. Yu Sui also felt uncomfortable and felt uncomfortable when he thought of that scene. He hesitated to open the tent and led everyone in.
There were only about fifty people left in the Argali tribe. Excluding a few seriously injured people, there were more than forty people living in the tents, including six cubs.
Five tents were built here to accommodate the dwarves. The space was not small, but the orcs liked spaciousness. Green originally planned to let them live separately, but after the sudden disaster, the argali people, with mixed feelings of grief and anger, still lived in the same tent.
There were originally more than a dozen argali cubs, but in the sudden attack of the gale lizards, even though their chief and warriors tried their best to protect them, half of the weak cubs were eaten. The remaining cubs were frightened by the scene and dared not go anywhere for the past few days and could not leave the adults around them.
When Yu Sui entered the tent, he saw several argali sheep the size of calves lying close together. Surrounding them were adult argali people sitting or standing. Each of them had huge curved horns on their heads, and the males' horns were sharper and longer than the females'.
Their faces were tired and sad, and their eyes were filled with unspeakable grief.
Everyone's body was tense, and even though they had arrived at a safe place, their nerves could not relax for a moment.
Seeing that Green, who had just left, came back with a dozen snow wolves and a dwarf, the Argali people stood up nervously.
Seeing their nervousness, Lu smiled gently and walked up to one of the Argali people. "Our leader has returned from the Tauren. This is the leader of our Black Map tribe." She pointed at Heiyan, Qi, and Bombur. "That's my partner and son. This is the leader of the Dwarf tribe. But now the Dwarves have also been incorporated into our tribe."
Many Argali people were surprised to see that the chief of the Black Map Tribe was actually a snow werewolf cub. They had been here for a few days, and although they were very depressed, they could still see that this tribe lived in an orderly manner and was richer than other orc tribes. There were dwarves and humans living together. It was a strange but well-developed tribe.
They guessed that the chief of this tribe must be capable and wise, but the chief of the Green and Black Figure tribe who had been taking care of them took the warriors to trade food with the Tauren, and now they finally saw a person, and it turned out to be a cub.
If they didn't know the character of the snow werewolf, the argali people would think that the snow werewolf was playing a joke on them.
"I am Asa of the Argali tribe, the young chief of the Black Figure tribe. Thank you for saving my people."
The argali male standing in front of Lu had a tall and straight body, smooth muscle lines, and was second only to the Minotaur in height. He was taller than the werewolf present. His skin was yellowish-brown, and he had huge curved horns on both sides of his head. He looked more like a plateau person, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge.
Asa said this, he clenched his fists and placed them on his chest, then bent down deeply.
Yu Sui, who was at a loss, hurried to help him up. His height looked like a small crutch next to Asa.
"It's normal for orcs to help each other. Don't do this." He supported Asa's shoulders with all his strength. The other party's body was heavy and strong. Yu Sui helped him for a long time, but Qi and Xu came forward and helped Asa up.
Tears welled up in Asa's eyes. "Thank you! Otherwise, my people would have lost a few more. We can't afford such a loss."
He was talking about the Argali people who were rescued by Shuyu. When Xu found them, several of them were already dying. Some of them were hit by the tails of the Gale Lizards, and some had their abdomens ripped open by their sharp claws. Asa and the tribesmen thought they could not hold on, but fortunately a human who could perform healing magic saved them.
After he finished speaking, the suppressed sobs of other Argali people were heard in the tent. They thought of their tribesmen who died in the belly of the Fierce Wind Lizard. Their tears fell heavily on the ground and were instantly swallowed by the dry land, as if their tribesmen were swallowed by the Fierce Wind Lizard.
The young argali cubs were trembling with fear. Although they had escaped the disaster, their former playmates were eaten or killed by the terrible beasts in front of them, and the cubs' parents were also killed by the fierce wind lizards.
The bright red blood splattered on their bodies or faces, and the hair splashed with blood had been dyed dark brown, reminding them of the tragic scenes at all times.
Seeing this, Yu Sui whispered some advice into Xu's ear, and Xu nodded and turned to leave.
He turned around and said soothingly, "You guys rest here for a few days first. Don't worry about food. I heard you're a vegetarian, so we just happened to trade some food for you."
Asa reached out and wiped the tears from his face a few times. He said gratefully, "We didn't bring anything with us when we escaped. There's little food in winter. Luckily, we met you."
As he spoke, he extended his hand and beckoned several other members of the Argali tribe to come over. "This is my sister Lily, and that's the tribe leader's son, Ake. If you need anything from us, just let us know. We may be vegetarians, but we're strong, and we'll definitely work hard!"
Ak and Lily looked very young, probably just adults. The fear on their faces had not yet faded, but they still nodded seriously.
"And us, I can work too!"
"And me, I'm pretty strong too!"
The other Argali people in the tent also spoke up, looking at Yu Sui and the others with eyes full of sincere gratitude.
Yu Sui did not refuse out loud, so that the Argali people would feel better.
He looked around the tent and found that most of the surviving argali were young men and cubs, with only a few who looked about the same age as Heiyan. Presumably, most of the older argali had sacrificed themselves in the battle so that the younger ones could survive.
His mood became even heavier. It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized how naive his previous idea of leading his people to live a better life was. In this crisis-ridden continent, it would definitely not be enough to just improve the living standards.
The reason why the Tauren can live well is not only because farming allows them to have no shortage of food, but their strong strength is the most important reason.
Having lived in peace for a long time, even though he had saved the dwarf twice, Yu Sui had never thought deeply about this aspect.
It was not until today when he saw the equally powerful Argali people being attacked by monsters that he realized that the Snow Werewolves were not invincible either. Just like when they were attacked by the seventh-level monster Scorpion Tailed Lion in the original text, they could not avoid such a crisis either.
