Lion King’s Adopted Son

“What are you panicking about!” The wise man who had been standing to observe the situation scolded Karen and the three of them fiercely.

Several old sub-beasts, including the Wise, and cubs like Gerald did not join in the excavation of the mountain wall. They are weak and can play very little role in such an operation. Once they join, the orcs will probably be distracted to look after them. The wise man and his four companions understood this, so instead of causing trouble for the orcs, they stood aside to observe the surrounding situation, and by the way, helped the orcs and sub-beasts to restrain the cubs who lost their control, Keep the cubs out of trouble.

The wise man was very relieved to see his favorite disciple, San, help the orcs dig the wall with a few sub-beasts, and use his mental power to point out the places where the wall could be easily damaged for the orcs.

Only a few sub-beasts with strong mental power, including San, participated in breaking the wall. Most of the other sub-beasts still failed to endure this kind of hardship, and did not even use their mental power to guide the beasts-after all. Their mental power is too weak, and exhausting the mental power is a very painful thing. But they didn’t let themselves idle either. They walked up and down the cave, wiping a sweat for the orc now and then and handing him some water.

Although the performance of these sub-beasts is not very satisfactory, at least, they are already making changes. In this disaster, they gradually realized that it is not just the responsibility of the orcs to keep the tribe alive. They should do something too – even if it’s something trivial.

The crisis of survival has forced many people to grow up, and many Asian beasts are no longer as heartless as they used to be. Their arrogance has not completely disappeared, but their mentality and self-awareness are changing for the better.

Compared with these young Asian beasts who were busy in the cave, Karen who did nothing seemed a little disturbing. Everyone has their own tasks, but they are excluded, but they are not aware of it. Whenever there is any trouble, they will shout at the side, and even the cubs are quieter than them.

The wise man glared at Karen: “If you can’t help everyone, at least keep your mouth shut and don’t make trouble!”

“But, wise man, the flood…”

“No but. Do you think that if you shout here, the flood will not come? If you have this skill, you might as well think about how to get everyone out as soon as possible!”

Gerald was lying at the entrance of the cave and said worriedly: ” The internal terrain of this hole is constantly lowering, and the same is true for the passage leading to the outside world. If the flood really pours in, even if we dig through the tunnel, it will be submerged.” The

Wise man’s attitude towards Gerald and his treatment toward Karen was completely different. He said approvingly, “Yes, my child, I didn’t expect you to think of this level. It’s amazing.” He walked to the entrance of the cave, and despite the heavy rain outside, he moved a large rock in. Putting it at the entrance of the cave, it seems that it is going to block the cave with stones.

""

Seeing this, Gerald also followed. He moved a rock about the size of his body from somewhere, and moved it with great difficulty. In the process of putting the rock down, he almost smashed himself in the foot.

“The little guy is really good. Even if you work so hard, we old men can’t fall behind you.” The four old men who stood with the wise man said.

Among them, two are elders, and the other two, although they have no positions, are also former elders, who were famous figures in the orc tribe.

The four old men also stood out, looking for large stones.

When the cubs saw that Gerald helped move the stones and was praised by the old people, they wanted to follow, but were stopped by the old men before they stepped out of the cave. The old people did not reject the cubs to help, but they did not allow them to step out of the cave, and only allowed them to pick up stones in the cave. After all, the stones in the cave are limited, and the size is not particularly large, but it is better to be safe.

I don’t know how many times the five old Asian orcs went back and forth, their bodies were covered with rain and mud, and even their arms were shaking from carrying large stones for a long time. At this time, the entrance of the cave was half filled.

Gerald said worriedly: “Wise men, elders, come and bake the fire first and then continue.”

The bodies of the old Asian beasts are already weak, and if this continues, the five old people will probably be unable to bear it and collapse first. Moreover, the five old people are all outside now, and when the entrance of the cave is completely blocked by stones, they will not be able to enter.

The wise man’s face had already begun to turn blue, and his lips had already lost the color of blood. He did not accept Gerald’s suggestion, shook his head, and said hoarsely: “There is… no time.”

Yes, there is no time.

Gerald stared blankly at the soles of the wise man’s feet. Because the entrance of the cave was blocked by stones, he didn’t realize it just now. It turned out that the floodwater was able to climb up this cliff! Even, it could vaguely hear the roar of the flood…

Neither the wise man nor the elders spoke any more, but only accelerated the speed of carrying the stones. The current height is no longer within the reach of the little brats like Gerald. They can hardly help at all. They can only stand blankly in the cave, watching the stone wall being raised bit by bit.

Soon, the stone wall reached the chests of the old men, and after a while, the area below their necks was blocked behind the stone wall, and they could only see their heads. Although their faces were full of exhaustion, and their faces were even frozen into purple, their eyes shone with amazing light.

Gerald was suffocated. At this moment, he realized that perhaps, these old people had not planned to come in since they went out to find the boulder.

The five of them lined up like a wall between the rushing water and the stone wall. The water flow was fierce, and the huge current slapped on them, making Gerald wonder if their old and frail flesh and blood would be shattered in the next moment.

However, they did not fall. In the face of the huge thrust of the water, they still stood firmly in front of the stone wall, like an indestructible city wall, staunchly guarding in front of everyone, and like five brave warriors, knowing that there is no way out ahead, But not afraid of life and death.

With the cooperation of Pascal and others, everyone has been able to see the passage leading down the mountain.

San wanted to share this joy with his teacher, but was horrified to find that his teacher, along with the other four respected old men, were standing outside the stone wall.

The stone wall has not been completely completed, but they have to face the flood.

“Teacher!” As soon as he met a wise man’s eyes, San already understood what his teacher wanted to do. He excitedly wanted to climb out from the stone wall: “Teacher, come in, what you want to do, let me do it! Come in quickly!”

“Silly boy!” The wise man scolded him lightly, but there was no trace in his eyes. No blame: “Call Pascal and Yu for me.”

San stumbled back to the deepest part of the cave, and after a while, Pascal and the patriarch came out.

The majesty that the patriarch usually put on his face has completely disintegrated at this moment, and he almost rushed in front of the patriarch and the elders: “Wise men, elders, come in quickly! This kind of thing should be done by us! You can’t be here… …The tribe still needs you!”

The wise man shook his head and said softly: “We have lived long enough, why should you sacrifice needlessly to protect us old guys! The future of the tribe needs you, young ones. The new generation, not us. Our era has passed, and now, it is you who are responsible for the future of the tribe. You, after you go out with the tribe, you must fully trust our allies and find a place to develop us well. The tribe… don’t come back.”

“Wise man, why…”

“This is just my plea, not an order. You have grown up, Yu, you have your own judgment, and I no longer need to teach you. Little child, I can no longer order you to do anything. However, no matter where you are, I hope that you will not lose the spirit that your ancestors passed on to us.”

The voice of the wise man was very soft, and in the sound of the huge flood, The patriarch had to concentrate to hear him. But these words were like pieces of iron cavalry, pressing heavily on his chest.

Wise man, what is the tribal spirit?

You, have you ever seen an ant?

I have seen them, they are very weak, I can trample them to death with one foot.

Yes, they are weak and easy to kill, but their race is still very strong to this day, do you know why?

reason? do not know.

Then, look at those ants and tell me again.

It’s strange, why do they clump together when they cross the river?

If you don’t do this, all the ants will not be able to cross the river.

But the ants outside will surely die, why are they still willing to stay outside?

Because they can trade their lives for the new life of the tribe.

-Still do not understand.

Ant is very weak, only when they are united they can survive well. The tribal spirit is the most precious wisdom and wealth left to us by our ancestors. Maybe you still don’t understand it, but, one day, you will understand that it is precisely because of this spirit that our tribe can continue forever…

Fragments of memory float up and down in your mind. , Recalling the wise man who followed his guidance when he was young, the patriarch felt a deep pain in his heart. What he couldn’t understand at that time, how can he still know nothing about it now?

The patriarch resisted the tears that forced his eyes, and nodded to the wise man: “I understand… I understand…”

The wise man smiled gratified and turned his eyes to Pascal, his eyes were soft and earnest: “I know, our tribe Closed and backward, there are many bad habits. However, our tribe is not born with despicableness. Our tribe also has our own steadfastness, and we will never forget the spirit passed on to us by our ancestors – no matter when and where, We will all remain loyal to our companions. Don’t feel sorry for us, this is our choice. To you—our companion, our ally, I have only one request.”

“Please take our tribe and go out!”

Pascal nodded: “I will, this is what I promised you.”

“Let’s go, children. Don’t waste the time we bought for you.”

At this time, the passage was finally dug, the width of Not big, only one person can pass at a time. The orcs picked up the cubs, paid the most solemn family salute to the wise men and the elders, and then entered the passage one by one.

The five old men watched them leave, then closed their eyes and silently endured the flood that had reached their chests.

The water is so cold and biting, but they don’t seem to feel it anymore.

They turned their heads with difficulty and looked at the vast ocean behind them. The small village was completely invisible now, but they just knew that it was there.

There, is the hometown they have been watching all their lives. They are about to go home.
