Lion King’s Adopted Son

“Really, these two people…” The patriarch looked at Pascal and Claire’s distant figures, and didn’t know what to say for a while.

“Do you think what they are doing is wrong, my child?” The wise man, who had woken up at some point, slowly walked to the entrance of the cave.

The patriarch’s brows have been tightly locked since Pascal and Claire left: “It’s too dangerous to go out in such a heavy rain. It’s hard to find food in this kind of weather, and they are not familiar with the mountain roads in this area, and if you’re not careful, you may fall off the cliff! Really, do those two guys know about this!”

Besides, it’s okay if Pascal goes, Claire follows What are you going to join in the fun? Shouldn’t she just stay in the cave with the baby?

“You underestimated their survivability.” The wise man shook his head disapprovingly: “I don’t think they ran out unprepared. When Pascal escaped to this mountain with me on his back, several times he was almost caught up by the flood, but he didn’t take a wrong step in such a critical situation, which shows that he is not as simple as you think.”

“Really? How did that guy do it?” For the wise man and the patriarch, there is no doubt that what the wise man said must be what he saw with his own eyes. However, the patriarch still felt incredible about this fact. If it didn’t rain, all orcs, even those who didn’t go out often, could easily find their way by the smell left behind.

But it was raining heavily right now, and the rain washed away all the smells around, making it difficult for them to identify the way by smell.

“Don’t underestimate your allies, Pascal can single-handedly break through the trap set by the city lord of Serantte and come to the territory of our orcs, there must be something special about him. Even the woman next to him named Claire also has strong survivability and hunting experience. Although you have inherited your father’s outstanding talent, you are still too immature compared to him. You have much to learn from him in the future.”

The patriarch pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Although the wise man’s words sounded unpleasant, he would no longer blindly reject it. In his actions these days, he has fully realized that he is far from being a good leader. There is no shame in recognizing one’s own inadequacies. It was because he saw these deficiencies that he had a direction to move forward.

“Wise man, in your opinion, why do Pascal and Claire have to take the risk to go out?” The patriarch humbly asked the old Asian orc for advice.

The old Asian orc squinted: “They may have realized something, maybe, this rain won’t stop so easily. You, if we don’t go hunting, how many days can our food last?”

""

“Save a little bit. If you eat it, you can still eat it for three days.” Speaking of this, the patriarch’s face was a little unsightly. These days, in order to save food, everyone has not eaten enough. If they encounter any danger now, they may not even have the ability to fight.

Originally, he never sent people out to hunt for food, because he thought the rain would stop soon, after all, the place where they lived had never had a continuous rainstorm for a long time. But now, looking at the sky where the rain did not decrease at all, he suddenly became less sure about all this.

The old Asian orc said: “Yes, if you save a little to eat, you will only have enough to eat for three days.” After a pause, he said: “The flood has not receded, and the rainstorm has not weakened. Our food is almost finished, what should we do…”

The patriarch’s heart sank slowly, and the wise man’s assumption had to be thought about. If Pascal and Claire’s judgments are correct, and if the wise men’s assumptions come true, once the food runs out, a disaster awaits them.

“Wait another day.” The patriarch said, “Wait another day. If the rain doesn’t stop tomorrow, I will let everyone go out to find food and collect firewood.”

……..

Pascal covered himself and Claire respectively . Layers of energy cover, so even if they were on their way in the heavy rain, they were not wet. At this time, Gerald had been snatched from Claire’s arms by Pascal and stuffed into his clothes, only showing his head at the neckline.

Gerald was surprised to find that Pascal was dry and warm, not as clammy and cold as he had been in the cave.

Moreover, Pascal and Claire traveled quite fast, and were not affected by the heavy rain at all. If it wasn’t for the fact that the torrential rain was still going down with her own eyes, I am afraid that Gerald would have thought that the rain had actually stopped.

“You feel it too, Claire?” Pascal slowed down and was level with Claire.

Usually in the process of walking, Pascal has always been ahead of the lions of Pascal’s lions. His followers, no matter how casual they usually treat him, will automatically follow him at such times to show their recognition of his leadership.

“Yeah.” Claire said with a serious look: “Since I left the hill where the orcs live, the power that has been restricting my elemental power has weakened. Now, I can use the equivalent of a first-level level Elemental power.”

“I also recovered the second-level fire elemental power.” Pascal said: “I found this on the way to avoid the flood. However, I have not used this power in front of the wise.”

As allies, Pascal and Claire had a fairly clear understanding of the orcs’ situation, but the latter still knew very little about the former. I have to feel that the orcs are still too simple in some aspects. No wonder they obviously have strong strength, but they were so miserably cleaned up by the expeditionary army of the City Lord of Serantte when they had the home field advantage.

Listening to the conversation between Pascal and Clear, Gerald suddenly felt that the safety of his group was a little bit guaranteed.

The heavy rain caused the animals to hide in their dens, Pascal and Claire had a hard time finding their tracks because their keen sense of smell could not be used. But——

“Worry about what to do, isn’t there Gerald?” Pascal patted his little head lightly on his neckline, his tone full of trust.

“No wonder you didn’t stop me when I wanted to take Gerald with me,” Claire said. She thought that Lord Pascal would prefer Gerald to stay in that safe cave.

“Even if Gerald didn’t have the ability to perceive, I wouldn’t leave him there alone.” Pascal said, unbuttoning his front, holding up the little lion with both hands, and placing him on the ground.

As soon as the little lion fell to the ground, he couldn’t help shrinking himself into a ball and left Pascal’s warm clothes. It was too cold around. But it didn’t take long for a light red light to envelope the little lion. The temperature was well controlled, neither too cold nor too hot, just as comfortable as when it was nestled in Pascal’s arms just now.

Pascal patted the little lion’s furry head: “Okay, let’s go, Gerald.”

Gerald: Why does it suddenly feel like Pascal is a policeman or a police dog? If he completes the task, he will be rewarded with a meat bone by Sergeant Pascal… STOP!

Gerald was chilled by her own association. He shook his head and concentratedly began to sense whether there was any prey around.

After a while, Gerald detection radar really brought Pascal and Claire to the two pheasants nest of eggs they hatched.

Gerald looked at the nest of eggs and swallowed.

They had a good time today, and it has been a long time since they had a delicious egg. Although there are no fried eggs, scrambled eggs, or sunny side up eggs, but it is also very satisfying to be able to eat boiled eggs! In the season of lack of food, it is good to eat some food, and improving the food is a very luxurious thing.

It’s a pity that Gerald, who was still rejoicing, ignored an important question- how do they bring back so many eggs without a bag?

The pheasants were easy to handle, and with one hand, Claire quickly caught the two pheasants who were clumsily trying to escape. The two pheasants were still struggling in Clear’s hands. Clear used elemental force to suppress them, and the two poor pheasants didn’t dare to move immediately.

If they could talk, they would have shouted with grief and indignation at this time: “Don’t bully the pheasants like this!”

“What are you doing, Pascal!!!” He pounced quickly in a protective posture, blocking between Pascal and the pile of eggs.

With two smashed eggs at his feet, Pascal was trying to cover up his own incrimination, but apparently, he failed.

Facing the accusing gaze of his adopted son, he could only laugh and say awkwardly: “This is just an accident.”

Gerald glared at Pascal, no matter how good Pascal persuaded him, he would not let Pascal poisonous hand to touch these fragile eggs.

But being so stiff all the time is not a solution, the rain is gradually increasing, and the visibility around is getting lower and lower. If at this time, they encounter a predator, it is very likely that they will not be able to keep their prey and have to give up these eggs.

Gerald thought about it, and had Pascal take off his burlap shirt and wrapped the eggs in it.

He made Claire hand over the chicken in her hand to Pascal, and then handed Claire the clothes wrapped in eggs.

“I’ll get this?” Claire looked at Gerald in surprise.

Gerald nodded, the girl was more careful. Rather than handing the eggs to Pascal, who has no importance under his command, of course, it is safer for Claire to hold the eggs.

Unfortunately, Gerald made another mistake. Can a lady in the big cat world be equal to the girls she met in her previous life?

Claire took the egg: “Okay, but, I hope you won’t regret it.”

Not long after, the mournful cry of the little lion that almost penetrated the sky came from the rain curtain: “Claire!!!
