Chapter 474 The Falcon Tribe
Chapter 474 The Falcon Tribe
About ten days into the voyage, the relentless downpour finally stopped. However, the sky remained shrouded in gloomy clouds, creating a sense of oppression. Ruan Mianmian checked the weather forecast and discovered that the rain's cessation was only temporary; it would return in two days.
Zhihe and several elders leaned against the mast, gazing at the vast ocean outside the ship. Occasionally, animal carcasses floated by on the water, a sight that stirred a deep sorrow in their hearts.
During this long voyage, they and all the orcs witnessed the various situations outside and were all amazed by their leader's amazing abilities.
During these days, they encountered several groups of animals and beastmen trapped in the flood or drowning. As the boat sailed further away, they gained a deeper understanding of the cruelty of nature.
Without the leader's guidance and without finding a place to shelter from the rain and survive, everyone would probably have been submerged by the raging flood and lost their lives by now.
The tribe originally planned to catch fish or catch animal carcasses floating on the water to eat, but after their chief stopped them, the entire tribe now eats the food and water provided by the chief.
A few days ago, when they passed by the heron tribe, they witnessed a horrifying scene. The orcs were wolfing down animals floating on the water, but these seemingly harmless foods brought them terrible consequences—their bodies began to fester and rot, a truly gruesome sight.
This horrific sight filled everyone with terror and unease.
If the leader hadn't stopped them in time, everyone would probably be sick from accidentally eating these poisonous foods, and some might even be incurable, ultimately facing the threat of death.
Originally, according to the chief's idea, if they encountered other surviving tribes in the flood, they should lend a helping hand and save them if they had the ability.
However, the situation of the heron tribe left them feeling powerless.
These orcs have been feeding on corpses for a long time, and their bodies are severely decayed. Even if they were brought on board, they would hardly survive for long.
Faced with such a cruel reality, they had no choice but to harden their hearts and choose to leave.
Herons are birds of prey and possess the ability to fly. If they truly wanted to keep up with the flock, it wasn't entirely impossible.
However, it was precisely because they had been consuming foods they shouldn't have for a long time that their physical condition had deteriorated to an extreme degree, making even flying extremely difficult.
At this moment, the beastmen of the Heron Tribe were in dire straits, and they could only silently await their death.
And similar tragic scenes can be seen everywhere along the way.
Due to extreme food shortages and the lack of clean water, many orcs, and even entire tribes, have been lost in this vast ocean, their fate unknown.
Ruan Mianmian kept adjusting her destination in the cabin. This disaster had not only submerged their plains. Now it seemed that the disaster affected the entire orc continent.
Sen stood beside Ruan Mianmian, watching her furrow her brows, and couldn't help but say, "Ruan Ruan, nature is cruel. Orcs are supposed to follow the principle of survival of the fittest, and now nature is eliminating them. We have no choice but to follow it. You've done enough and done enough. You can't save all the orcs."
Ruan Mianmian remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "I know nature is cruel, but I still can't bear to watch people die. Let's search some more; maybe there are tribes trapped but still hope for rescue."
Sen sighed helplessly, but stopped trying to dissuade him.
After sailing for another day, a towering mountain appeared ahead. The summit was not yet submerged by the flood, and it was densely packed with orcs.
Ruan Mianmian's eyes lit up, and she ordered the boats to approach.
It turns out this is the Falcon Tribe. With their powerful flying ability and keen eyesight, they flew here to seek refuge long ago.
When the group of falcon-like orcs saw the cruise ship, their eyes widened in disbelief. By the Beast God, what were they seeing?
