Chapter 354 Arriving at the Beach
The wandering orcs covered their mouths and noses and began to feel dizzy.
"Now is the time, take action!" Lang Ce shouted and rushed forward first.
Long Xiaoyu, Qian Jingyao and others were not willing to be outdone and launched a fierce battle with the wandering orcs.
Because Langce, Qi'an, Long Xiaoyu and the others usually had good food, and had not lacked water in recent days, they had plenty of physical strength. The group of orcs on the opposite side were like a spent bow, and were beaten to a pulp by Qian Jingyao and the others in just a few moves.
They kept howling, but Qian Jingyao and the others knew when to stop and didn't kill them. Instead, they drove them away.
After these people fled, Xia Yueke wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I give up. They are just causing all these troubles. Can't they just go find some water? They have to rob!"
Luo Cihe didn't know what to say. "Let's get going quickly. If we keep going like this, with a small fight every two days and a big fight every three days, we'll be exhausted to death sooner or later!"
Luo Cihe complained while drinking the water he had brought with him. He knew that there was not enough water and he could only drink it sparingly. He couldn't even drink water in big gulps!
The others also nodded, and no one cared about whether to play or not. Now everyone held on, and the last bit of their will was to reach the southern coast.
After several days of trekking, Xia Yueke and his friends finally arrived at the beach.
The azure water sparkled in the sun, the waves gently hit the beach, making a pleasant sound, and the air was filled with the salty and humid sea breeze, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Xia Yueke stood on the beach, took a deep breath, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face: "Finally here! It's so beautiful here."
Qi'an ran excitedly on the beach, feeling the sea breeze, and shouted loudly: "It's so spectacular, this is the sea!"
Qian Jingyao took Xia Yueke's hand and led her to the beach. They walked barefoot on the soft sand, the waves gently lapping at their ankles, bringing a hint of coolness.
"Keke, do you still remember the first time we met?" Qian Jingyao asked softly.
Xia Yueke nodded, a hint of ambiguity flashing in her eyes: "Of course I remember. Did you see me saving that kid who was about to fall?"
Qian Jingyao smiled and said, "Yes, at that time I felt that you were very smart and seemed very different from other cubs. But you were still so young at the time. To be honest, when I attacked you, I felt like I was not a normal animal."
He stopped and turned to face Xia Yueke, his eyes full of affection: "Keke, although I was struggling internally at that time, thinking that you would dislike me in the future, like dislike me for being old, or that we couldn't get along, or that we had no topics to talk about, but now I'm not afraid anymore."
Xia Yueke's heart moved, and she gently hugged Qian Jingyao: "Why aren't you afraid anymore? Don't you care about me now?"
Qian Jingyao chuckled, "Of course not. You think I'm too old, but there's still Qing Yan. He was the one who was disliked first. If you don't want to talk to me, I'll talk to you about An An and Dun Dun. You'll definitely like to hear about them!"
Xia Yue didn't know why she always felt that Qian Jingyao had turned bad and had learned to use that silly boy Qing Yan as a scapegoat. However, he actually wanted to use the kid to win her favor. It was really... too cute!
Xia Yuke pounced on Qian Jingyao, almost knocking him down. Qian Jingyao immediately turned around and hugged her, "What's wrong? Why are you so excited?"
Xia Yueke kissed her passionately without saying a word.
Qian Jingyao paused. They hadn't been intimate for a long time since so many things happened.
Qian Jingyao got excited and deepened the kiss.
Just as the two were immersed in the romantic atmosphere, Luo Cihe, Lang Ce and Long Xiaoyu also came over.
Luo Cihe teased, "Hey, are you two secretly dating here?"
Lang Ce pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Keke, you can't be partial. We are also your partners."
Long Xiaoyu said coldly: "Qian Jingyao, don't forget, we also have a share."
Qian Jingyao and Xia Yueke felt a little embarrassed by this sudden teasing, and they separated with red faces.
Xia Yueke glared at Luo Cihe and pretended to be angry, "You're the only one who talks too much. We finally have some time alone."
Luo Cihe shrugged, looking innocent. "I saw you guys were so engrossed that I was afraid to disturb you. But then again, we've finally made it to the beach, we can't just talk about love, we have to quickly look for fresh water sources."
Everyone then remembered the important purpose of coming to the beach, so they quickly dispersed and searched carefully along the coastline.
Xia Yueke and Qian Jingyao were in a group, paying attention to the movements around them while looking for signs of fresh water resources.
They thought about it and although finding the whereabouts of the Tsukimi Salt Clam could solve the water problem, they couldn't wait any longer. They had drunk all the water the night before they arrived here, so now they planned to find some fresh water to drink themselves.
Another point is that if they use the water stored by Yue Jianyan, it must be sea water. I heard from Long Xiaoyu that there are orcs here. If they use sea water directly, wouldn’t they be drinking the orcs’ bath water?
Xia Yueke felt a little unable to eat just thinking about it.
What's more, why drink it? Anyway, ever since Long Xiaoyu said that, Xia Yueke even imagined that there seemed to be the smell of orcs' feces floating in the sea water.
Anyway, no matter what is in the water, it will have to poop, so after thinking about it, Xia Yueke decided to find some fresh water. If they really can't find any, they will have to find cleaner water!
As Xia Yueke was walking, she suddenly felt her feet go soft, as if she had stepped on something strange. She looked down and saw a colorful little crab waving its claws as if in protest.
"What is this?" Xia Yueke squatted down curiously, wanting to take a closer look at the little crab. At this moment, many small crabs suddenly appeared on the surrounding beach and swarmed towards them.
Qian Jingyao vigilantly protected Xia Yueke behind him and clenched the weapon in his hand instantly.
However, these crabs had no intention of attacking them, but just formed a circle around them, as if waiting for something.
After a while, a huge crab slowly crawled out from the depths of the beach.
Its shell is hard and has a metallic luster. Its two huge pincers flash coldly in the sun, and it looks like it is not something to be trifled with.
"Who are you? Why did you come to our territory?"
The giant crab Hailin asked in a deep voice.
Xia Yueke mustered up his courage, took a step forward, and said:
"We are orcs who came from the inland. Our tribe suffered a drought and the water source dried up, so we came to the seaside in search of fresh water. We have no ill intentions, we just want to find water here and save our people."
