Chapter 401: The Tricks of the Beast World (14)
After waiting for her whole body to be submerged in the water, Xia Yueke took a deep breath of fresh air before sinking to the bottom of the water. At first, Xia Yueke panicked and used the dog paddle twice, but later, for some reason, she actually learned how to swim and control her balance.
Although she felt it was strange, she did not think much about it. She thought that maybe human potential was unlimited. At this critical moment of life and death, let alone swimming, she could learn anything.
The water source is two meters deep and is located in the middle of the water source. Xia Yue can simply take out a grass root and use it as a breathing tube.
The water source is cold and it is freezing.
Xia Yueke pricked up her ears and heard hurried footsteps outside, as well as Ai Teng's voice. He was not in a good condition at the moment, as if he was being chased by a mad beast. Xia Yueke could also hear faint roars.
Ai Teng seemed to have thought of the same idea as Xia Yueke and actually jumped directly into the water.
The mad orc suddenly calmed down, but still walked around as if looking for something.
It seems that the orc's eyesight is not very good and he relies entirely on his sense of smell. Xia Yueke came to this conclusion.
Unexpectedly, the footsteps of the mad and humiliated man became clearer and clearer, and seemed to be around the water source where Xia Yueke was.
Xia Yueke held her breath out of fear and didn't even dare to continue breathing through the breathing tube. She could only hear her own heartbeat like a drum, thump thump, which was very exciting.
But Xia Yueke would rather her heart not beat faster at this moment. She felt that the sound was so loud. What if this crazy orc also had very good hearing?
It lasted for about one or two minutes, and Xia Yueke's face turned red. The mad orc finally began to walk away, until even the footsteps could no longer be heard.
As soon as the footsteps disappeared, Xia Yuke heard the sound of something coming out of the water. It should be Ai Teng breathing.
He must have been suffocating, as Xia Yue could still hear his heavy breathing from a distance, then the sound gradually faded away. Perhaps he had returned to the source of the water, apparently finding this a nice place.
Xia Yueke didn't dare tell him that she was here because she was not sure whether those crazy orcs had gone far.
Time passed by little by little, and the sky gradually brightened. When Xia Yueke saw the sun rising, she almost shed tears. It was so great that she was alive to see the sunrise the next day.
Last night was so thrilling that she thought she was about to die several times.
Xia Yueke climbed out of the water, her whole body was wet, and her plaid jacket was tightly stuck to her skin, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Huh? Xia Yueke! You're here too!?"
It was Ai Teng's voice. He seemed very happy and ran over quickly, wanting to hug Xia Yueke.
Xia Yueke was so scared that she stepped back, "What are you doing? You're all wet, stand further away! You were lucky yesterday, you were lucky enough to dodge it!"
Ai Teng smiled and said nothing, staring at Xia Yueke. Xia Yueke looked at his dark eyes and felt something was strange for some reason.
"Okay, let's hurry to the tribe entrance."
Xia Yueke changed the subject.
Ai Teng looked at her for a long time before slowly saying, "Okay."
Xia Yueke felt it was strange, so she deliberately stayed away from Ai Teng. She couldn't help but think, could it be that Ai Teng was frightened yesterday and there was something wrong with his brain?
Ai Teng didn't mind Xia Yueke's attitude and wanted to get closer.
Xia Yueke started running in an instant, "Hey, Ai Teng, let's find Sister Zhang first. Walking like this is too slow!"
After Xia Yuke finished speaking, she ignored Ai Teng behind her and ran to the tribe intersection in a hurry. She felt that she should see Sister Zhang first. Only Sister Zhang gave her a sense of security here, and everyone else seemed to be here to scare her.
When they arrived at the tribe entrance, Sister Zhang was already waiting there. She was wrapped in circles of grass. Xia Yueke could smell the stench when she got closer. Sister Zhang's clothes were also a little dirty. Seeing Xia Yueke, she smiled with satisfaction, "I didn't expect you to be able to dodge it. You're quite impressive. I underestimated you before!"
Xia Yueke immediately suppressed Ai Teng's matter in her heart and said with a smile: "That's right, Ai Teng also successfully hid in the same place as me. We were both in the water and froze all night!"
Sister Zhang laughed out loud. "Really? I've been bitten by mosquitoes quite a few times too. It's a game, even the mosquitoes are different. I really want a few bottles of Liushen toilet water!"
Xia Yuke also smiled, and Ai Teng also came back.
Ai Teng walked very slowly and it took him a while to get in front of the two of them.
Sister Zhang glanced at him, frowned, but didn't ask anything. Instead, she took Xia Yueke and walked forward.
After entering the tribe, the Tiger Elder reappeared. He still had a gloomy face, a voice as loud as thunder, and a deadly look in his eyes. "You distinguished guests have returned. Come with me to see the tribe leader now. The tribe leader has been waiting for a long time."
Behind Elder Tiger were six or seven members of the Tiger Tribe, who had just been looking at Xia Yueke and the other two with burning eyes.
There was a greedy look in his eyes, but he couldn't do it because of the rules.
The three followed Elder Tiger to a luxurious stone house, which was guarded outside by a dozen tiger orcs.
When the three of them entered, they saw a man with a tiger head and a human body sitting in the main seat in the spacious room, with a cushion made of lion skin under his butt.
He looked at the three of them fiercely, then forced a sinister smile, "I can only take two of you out of the tribe. As for who will be left behind, it's up to you to decide."
He was gloating, his eyes wandering between Xia Yueke, Sister Zhang and Ai Teng.
Sister Zhang was very calm, looking at him calmly. "How can following you out of the tribe mean we've cleared the level? What if you're lying to us?"
The tiger chief choked, a look of frustration flashed in his eyes, and he casually threw a booklet over. It was different from the one in Xia Yueke's hand, it was a red booklet.
Sister Zhang opened it, Xia Yueke moved closer, and Ai Teng finally moved, his eyes changed a little.
The booklet reads:
Dear Tiger Chief, hello! Several distinguished guests have recently arrived in your tribe. We need you to escort the remaining members away from the tribe in three days. Of the remaining three, only two remain uncontaminated. One has been corrupted by the power of darkness and exudes a unique aura. Those contaminated must not leave the tribe.
[How to Identify: Before sunset, each of you will recount an experience after entering the tribe. The tales of the contaminated will unconsciously incorporate false information that contradicts the underlying logic and environmental details, requiring your independent judgment. If the source is not found by sunset, all three will be unable to leave and will be consumed by the power of darkness.]
[Successfully leading the distinguished guest out of the tribe will reward the Tiger Tribe's Tiger Orcs with returning to their original appearance. Failure will result in the elimination of some Tiger Orcs. Please complete the task actively.]
