Chapter 397: The Tricks of the Beast World (10)
Ai Teng ran over to fill the water bottle, but Xia Yueke quickly stopped him, "Have you forgotten the rules say you can't fill water with black feathers? No matter how anxious you are, you have to find some clean water."
Ai Teng nodded and pointed to the sky above his head with a confused look. The sky, which was bright before, suddenly became dim, and the half-crescent moon had turned into a gibbous moon, almost filling up the entire moon.
Xia Yueke also became anxious and began to look for black feathers in the water sources on the ground. As a result, she found black feathers in every water source she looked for. After searching almost all of them, she still couldn't find the cleanest water source.
"Xia Yueke! There's a water source here!"
Ai Teng exclaimed from behind a big tree. It turned out that Ai Teng was in a hurry and found the biggest tree to hide and deal with the important matter in his life. As a result, he saw that there was a pool of water behind the tree!
The most important thing is that there are no black feathers on it!
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuke immediately ran over with four water bags.
"Okay, then come over and pretend!"
Ai Teng ran more than ten meters and found a bush.
It took a while for him to show up and help.
Xia Yueke guessed what he was doing and was speechless. For a moment, she could only carry the water on his back and said, "I've already filled the water. Now let's hurry back!"
Ai Teng was puzzled: "Aren't you waiting for Sister Zhang?"
Xia Yueke said as she ran, "No matter what, let's get back to the tribe entrance first. If we're here, they definitely won't be able to find me. If we get to the tribe entrance, maybe they can still catch up."
Ai Teng nodded and started running. Each of them was carrying twelve liters of water, which was so heavy that they couldn't even lift their waists. Xia Yueke and Ai Teng finally returned to the entrance of the tribe after hurrying.
Xia Yueke and Ai Teng were waiting at the entrance. When the sun was about to set, Ai Teng could not wait any longer and said, "Xia Yueke, why don't we go in? I don't think they'll come."
Xia Yueke shook her head. "No, if we go in now, both of their missions will fail. They will definitely be eaten by these tiger people!"
Ai Teng jumped up and down anxiously, "But if we don't go in now, we'll be eaten the moment the sun sets!"
Ai Teng looked at the sun in the distance, and he was so anxious that he closed his eyes and prayed, "Don't set, don't set, don't set."
Finally, just when Ai Teng was about to go in first, Sister Zhang and Lin An appeared not far away, both of them were injured.
Sister Zhang was furious. "What bad luck! We searched all day and finally found a cave, only to find a dozen half-human-high poisonous spiders living inside. We almost died there!"
Xia Yueke breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sister Zhang was safe and sound.
"Okay, Sister Zhang, thank you for your hard work. We have brought the water. Now let's go and complete the task!"
Xia Yuke handed the water bag to Sister Zhang. The four of them stepped in. They found that the tiger people were already standing at the entrance. They seemed to have arrived early. They originally wanted to wait for the few people who had not completed the task to have a big meal, but they did not expect that Sister Zhang and the others would come back at the last minute.
The tiger tribe members looked at Sister Zhang and Lin An viciously, their eyes glowing green.
Xia Yuke put the water in their arms, pulled Sister Zhang and ran out.
Ai Teng was stunned for a full second, then he followed Xia Yueke's example and chased after him, with Lin An following closely behind.
Xia Yueke was afraid that Sister Zhang would struggle, so she ran while saying, "If we wait for them to check it slowly, it will be too late. Hurry, take us to that cave now. Are you all ready with the stones?"
At this time, the road under my feet was almost invisible. The sun had already set halfway, but the moonlight was getting brighter and brighter.
After Xia Yueke had already thrown Ai Teng and Lin An over ten meters away, Sister Zhang nodded. "The stones are ready, but we're not sure if they'll be enough. Also, Lin An hasn't made any other moves during this time. I wonder what his purpose is? But we absolutely cannot let our guard down! When we move the stones to block the cave entrance later, we must keep an eye on her!"
Xia Yueke nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Several people ran all the way for half an hour before Sister Zhang took them to a mountain top.
There happened to be a cave at the top of the mountain. The entrance to the cave was not big, but it could accommodate four people at the same time. Next to it were stones found by Sister Zhang and Lin An. Because they were not very strong, the stones they moved were not very big. The largest one was only as big as two footballs, and it took two people to move it together.
Sister Zhang quickly ordered, "Let's quickly block the entrance to the cave, leaving only enough for one person to pass through. Then, we'll carry some rocks into the cave. When those crazy orcs come, we'll be able to block the entrance from inside the cave."
Xia Yueke acted quickly, moving stones with Ai Teng, and first piled up the stones under the cave entrance. Even if there was a big hole left on the top in the end, as long as there were people inside, those crazy orcs could not get in.
The bottom of the cave was piled with layers of stone, like a crooked, low wall. The stones varied in size, some as large as two footballs joined together, others as small as fists, pressed together and stacked. Irregular glimmers of light shone through the cracks. On the far left was an opening they had deliberately left open for the orcs to enter.
Ai Teng was carrying stones when he suddenly cried out, "Oh no, Sister Zhang, our ten pieces don't seem to be enough. It's too little. We can't block the hole above."
Xia Yueke quickly said, "Sister Zhang, don't stop yet. Ai Teng and I will go find some more."
After the two of them finished talking, they quickly looked for stones nearby. At this time, it was completely dark. They were afraid that the orcs had gone crazy and were looking for their traces. Xia Yueke did not dare to go far, and he and Ai Teng moved seven or eight more stones.
Then they heard roars coming from not far away. Xia Yuke looked up and saw a large group of orcs at the bottom of the mountain with red eyes and sharp fangs bared, rushing towards the top of the mountain.
"Hurry, go into the cave, someone is coming!"
Xia Yueke ran towards the cave in a hurry, and Lin An was about to enter the cave. Obviously, there was no conflict between the two and they could go one in front and the other behind, but Lin An deliberately pushed Xia Yueke at this critical moment and was supported by Ai Teng behind him.
Ai Teng yelled angrily, "Lin An! What do you mean? Get out of the way! No one has gone in yet!"
Sister Zhang was already inside the cave. Seeing this, she immediately pulled Lin An to another place, "Get out of the way! If you don't come in, they will!"
Lin An, however, looked crazy, as if he was out of his mind. "Hahaha, I won't let you in! You must die! If you die, I can live!"
She desperately blocked the entrance of the cave by herself, as if she wanted to keep Xia Yueke and Ai Teng outside.
A large group of orcs outside had already rushed to the middle of the mountain. They had turned into the appearance of wild beasts, just like tigers with wild hair. Some of them had become half-beasts, with the body of a tiger but a human head, and their mouths were open as if they were coming to eat people.
