Lion King's Adopted Son

In the next few days, the heavy rain did not stop, but it tended to get bigger and bigger.A lot of accumulated rainwater did not have time to flow down the mountain and poured into the cave where everyone lived.

The problem of food has not been solved, but there is a crisis in survival.

Sang, who had just returned from hunting, held a hare that was so thin that it was almost out of shape, and said worriedly: "It won't work like this, can we change to another cave?"

The patriarch's brows were almost frowning: "You also know the surroundings very well. You should be clear that there is no cave nearby that can accommodate so many of us except this one. And those small caves are getting deeper and deeper. The lower it is. I'm afraid it has already been filled with rainwater."

They wanted to wait for the rain to stop before continuing to cross the mountains, but who would have thought that the rain would keep falling, and they would be trapped here and become trapped beasts.

Now the food in the clan has bottomed out, and those who go out to hunt often can't catch much prey. If they can't go out again, they may really be trapped to death in this cave.Of course, they were more likely to drown first before being starved to death.

Looking at the knee-high water in the cave, the patriarch thought with a wry smile.

"I can't go on like this anymore. If I continue to wait, I will just sit and wait for death. Choosing to go out or stay inside is just the difference between dying sooner and later." Pascal suddenly stood up and was about to go out.

"Wait, it's very dangerous to try to climb this mountain now, don't go! Some of my friends used to climb the mountain in this kind of weather and fell off the mountain!" Sang loudly stopped Pascal, In his opinion, Pascal's behavior is courting death.

Although he knew that Pascal was right, if he could die later, everyone would be willing to live a little longer.After all, during this period of waiting, there might be a turning point.

As soon as Pascal came out of the cave, he took a deep breath because of the scene he saw in front of him.

Large swathes of rain fell heavily on the protective cover around him, and the force was astonishing, but he couldn't feel it anymore, he just stared at his feet.

The turbulent and swift flood has not subsided for a long time. These floods are constantly swirling under the mountain, forming eddies one by one, and the water surface is still rising.When he went hunting the day before yesterday, the water had just overflowed the foot of the mountain, but today, the water had reached the mountainside, leaving only half a person's height away from where Pascal was standing!

If they don't want to leave again, I'm afraid they will be submerged by these floods before night!

how so!

Why is this place that has never been flooded suddenly hit by floods this year?

Pascal, the snow-capped mountain that was the source of the flood, had also seen it before. According to the amount of snow on it, although it might cause floods, it would not be on the scale it is now.

With this situation in front of us, it was as if God deliberately wanted to drive them all to death.

Pascal clenched his fists fiercely. No, the most important thing now is to escape from here first. It doesn't make any sense for them to pursue this abnormal flood.They have to live first before they can think about more.

Since the situation is very critical now, even a minute and a second of time cannot afford to be delayed.

Pascal walked quickly into the cave, and told the patriarch what he saw at the edge of the cave.

"How is it possible!" Sang obviously didn't believe all this, he quickly ran out of the cave: "When I just went out to hunt, I clearly saw that the flood was still some distance away from us..."

Following the scene presented in front of him, his words came to an abrupt end.The patriarch came out after him. Seeing the scene in front of him, his anxiety almost solidified.The orcs and sub-beasts who came out together after hearing Pascal's words have begun to cry in fear and despair.On the contrary, the patriarch regained some sense and calmness.

At this time, anyone can panic, only he can't panic, his clansmen are still watching him!He must find a way to get them out of here safely!

He turned to the hunter who often hunted on this mountain—an orc named Jay.This orc sometimes takes the things of his clan outside to sell. Similarly, he will bring back some things that his clansmen need from the outside world.

The patriarch knew that if they still had a chance of survival, it must be tied to Jie.

"I know there is a passage that can lead to the outside world nearby. Can you tell where it is?" the patriarch asked.

He doesn't go out much, so he is far less familiar with the terrain here.If it wasn't for the heavy rain that seriously affected his vision, maybe he could still find the passage.But now, this has become completely impossible for him.

"I know where it is." Jie's lips were very pale. "But its entrance is near the top of the mountain. It's raining heavily now, and the mountain wall is so slippery that we can't climb it at all." It was also for this reason that he didn't take the initiative Mention the passage to the patriarch.

The patriarch's eyes dimmed.

Could it be that the only way they have left is to climb mountains?In this kind of weather, if you want to forcibly climb the mountain wall, it is a very dangerous thing for the orcs, let alone the sub-beasts who are not as good as the orcs in all aspects of physical fitness?If he wants to escape here by climbing a mountain, it means that he has to make up his mind to abandon most of the sub-beasts...

No, the patriarch vigorously wiped the rainwater that hit his face.

In any case, they cannot abandon their companions!If he wanted to live, he had to sell his conscience, he would rather they die here together!

At this time, Pascal spoke. Unlike the obvious panic on the faces of the people around him, his voice was still very stable.He seems to have an infectious power that can calm down the person who talks to him: "That passage is from top to bottom, isn't it? So, at this height, where is that passage?" He said Looking at Gera: "Can you feel it?"

"Follow me into the cave." Gera tugged on Pascal's trousers, then stood up and walked into the cave first - now it can no longer continue to walk on all fours, and the rain will flood it.

Pascal saw that it was walking with difficulty, and with a flick of his arms, he fished a certain little thing into his arms.

Pascal followed Gera's guidance to the deepest part of the cave.The people of the orc tribe were influenced by Pascal, and they felt that they might still be saved, so they also walked in with a glimmer of hope.

It stretched out its claws and gestured in a certain direction deep in the cave: "I can feel a hollow place nearby... Well, it's about half a cave deep from here, I wonder if it's there? "Jerajela has never seen other caves, and its reference point is of course the cave it is currently in: "But there may be another cave there." It is not sure.

"Ah, I remembered, that cave is indeed not far from us at this height!" Jie's eyes burst into a strong light, but the light quickly went out again, and he shook his head: "Even if That's the case, we can't escape from that passage."

The distance of half a cave doesn't sound too far away, but digging with bare hands will take several days.What's more, the cave they were in was actually very deep. Even if it was only half a cave away, it would be an impossible task for the orcs to dig through with bare hands.

Moreover, judging from the rising speed of the flood, they simply cannot wait that long.

"Since we're sure it's in that direction, it's easy to handle." Pascal walked up to the mountain wall first, and he didn't care whether he would expose his abilities. He folded his hands on his chest, and there was a large area. The flames spread from his folded arms to the mountain wall, and there was a big gap in the mountain wall instantly.

The eyes of the orcs suddenly brightened.

Pascal turned his head: "Are there any of you who have the force, come and help me dig the tunnel together!"

Orcs with force accounted for half of the orcs, and they all stepped forward to work with Pascal after hearing what Pascal said.But most of their force is very weak, they can't make a hole with one move like Pascal, they can only add up, but it's better than nothing.Even those orcs without force were silently digging up the mountain wall with their bare hands, fighting for a little more life for themselves and their companions.

After a while, some of them ran out of force.But these orcs who had exhausted their force were not in a hurry to rest. Instead, they imitated those orcs without force and started digging the mountain wall with their bare hands. Even though their hands were bloody, they didn't seem to feel it at all. There was no intention of stopping.

No one complained of suffering or tiredness. Now, everyone is racing against time with all their strength.

Sang and some sub-beasts also joined them.Although they are not as powerful as the orcs, they don't want to hide behind the orcs before the crisis of the entire tribe, and they also want to do their part.Maybe their strength is negligible, but what does it matter?As long as there are hundreds or thousands of such insignificant powers, they can have more vitality!

The orcs and sub-beasts may not be powerful, and their results are far less amazing than Pascal and Claire, who possess elemental power, but their perseverance is daunting.

After a while, they really dug a big hole in the mountain wall.

Before everyone had time to cheer, Karen, who was hiding in the corner with the two sub-beasts, shouted in horror: "It's too late! It's too late! Hong, the flood is almost here!"
