Something strange?
Speaking of strange things, there really is one.
Song Jinqiao thought of the pearl given by the river clam.
Speaking of this, it is really a bit strange. Since Bo Mu ate the pearl, not only did he no longer cough up blood from time to time, but he also no longer looked weak and sick as before. If she had not been sure that Bo Mu had not recovered his strength, she would have thought that Bo Mu was completely recovered.
[It's probably because of that pearl.]
The system was also very surprised that the pearl had such an effect.
[But host, you should quickly find a way to restore Twilight. I don't know how long that pearl can keep Twilight alive. It would be terrible if he died suddenly.]
You said it so easily. If she knew a solution, why would she worry about it?
Just as I was thinking about it, several males suddenly ran in from outside, looking hurried and terrified.
"No, it's bad! Those black things are chasing us again!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the upper bodies of the males lunged forward, and the entire beast fell directly to the ground.
Song Jinqiao was the closest, and he took a look at the males' condition and shook his head, saying, "They're no longer breathing."
Dead...dead?
Die already?
There was an uproar. The other orcs were terrified. Some were frightened. Some seemed to be petrified and just sat there in a daze.
The old wizard sat on a rock with his eyes closed, letting the noisy sounds enter his ears, yet he remained as still as a mountain.
When everyone's voices gradually faded away, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Leave a few males to hold back the dark spirits, and the rest of the tribe will continue working."
This is his decision.
The few males left behind were bound to die in the end. Their purpose was just to delay time so that they would have more time to escape.
As soon as the words fell, all the males' faces turned pale.
What’s the difference between this and committing suicide!
The second and fourth elders looked at everyone and hid among the beasts without making a sound.
Song Xing and the others didn't feel any pressure. They were not orcs in the tribe, so no matter how the matter of delaying time came, it would never be their turn.
Everyone was silent for a while, no one moved.
Just as Song Jinqiao was thinking about a solution, a male stepped forward.
"Oh my god!" he said in a deep voice, his sharp eagle eyes sweeping over the orcs present, and finally his gaze fell on the old wizard.
The old wizard said in a deep voice: "Only you are not enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, males stood up one after another.
“I’ll go!”
“I’ll go!”
"I'm going too!"
…
Song Jinqiao looked at them, his pupils trembling slightly, and even the system couldn't help but admire them.
Among the males that stood out, some were single, some were in pairs, and some were in pairs with cubs... Before leaving, the males said goodbye to their relatives and partners. Everyone understood that this was a journey of no return, and all the orcs were in low spirits.
The females couldn't help crying in the arms of the males who were about to leave. The smaller cubs didn't understand why their mother was crying, but the depressing atmosphere made them shudder. The older cubs knew that their father was about to die, and their expressions were sad.
The males who were about to leave gave some instructions and then turned away without mercy. A few females or cubs could not help but follow them, but in the end they were stopped by their tribesmen without exception. They could only watch their backs getting farther and farther away until they disappeared.
