Rebirth: Wild Survival

The boundary between the grassland and the wasteland is clear and abrupt. When the fresh greenery comes into view, the group of cats who are used to the gray-yellow rock formations and flying dust still can't believe it.

Ryan jumped off the simple stretcher, brushed away the orcs in front of him, looked across the vast grassland with lush vegetation, and looked straight into the distance. The sea, the birthplace of the Cretan catman, the center point of Sunset Valley, the most magnificent oasis on the entire continent.

Intertwined branches and roots extend from the tops and bottoms of the giant trees, enveloping the entire mountain, forest and grass. After years of growth and extension, the branches and roots are combined with the mud, dust, and gravel brought by the wind. Two towering plant barriers like mountains were formed, and the flying flower seeds fell into them, and soon grew thick and lush plants, and the two green walls coiled all the way, until the end of the grassland became low and flat.

Standing in the middle of this valley surrounded by tree branches, Su Luo, who was exhausted by the harsh environment of the wasteland, only felt that his tense nerves were relieved.When a group of orcs arrived in the valley, it was just in time for dusk. The sun was setting, and the light came through the gaps between the branches on both sides of the valley. The green barrier was dyed a warm golden yellow by the sunlight. This was the most beautiful Su Luo had ever seen. In the twilight, the sunset valley is bathed in a golden halo at this moment.

Although the sea of ​​trees seen on the high ground seems to be in sight, the orcs couldn't reach it until it was completely dark.

The orcs who came from afar are very experienced in this. From their conversation, Su Luo knew that it would take at least two full days to go to the 'Sea of ​​Trees', the center of the Sunset Valley where the giant tree is located.

The bonfire was lit, and the orcs who were completely relaxed sat together, eating and talking, and some even danced around the bonfire. The stars all over the sky lit up the dark night, and the melodious chirping of insects and birds came from the lush grass from time to time. , Peaceful and comfortable emotions poured into people's hearts along with the orange-red bonfire.

"I found that I like this place a little bit." Since entering the Sunset Valley, he has been busy looking around, his eyes are not enough, and his teeth are very cheerful and authentic.

After eating the food in his hands, Su Luo looked around and nodded in agreement.

Squeezed out of the orc community, the cats are now free to move. After many days together, the orcs have let down their guard. As the whole community gets closer to Sunset Valley, the guards on them also became more and more loose.

Without the cheerful and lively atmosphere in the orc community, the surrounding sounds became much clearer. The small sound of footsteps not far away caught Su Luo's attention. It should be the sound of a large group of creatures marching, and the other party obviously did not intend to cover it up. whereabouts.

Not long after, a long cry came from a distance, which attracted the attention of all the orcs. The leader of the bears stood up, strode towards the source of the sound, and responded loudly with his thick voice. Obviously, the person who came was his acquaintance. .

Soon, a large number of orcs appeared in front of the station. The leader of the tribe who walked in the front had a very eye-catching face. Su Luo looked at the hard hair on the other side like steel needles, and the protruding pair of beastmen. Teeth, secretly guessing that this group should be inextricably related to the porcupines in the mountains before evolution.

"Huobi!" The leader of the bear clan shouted out the other party's name, and greeted him affectionately.

"Wharton!" Compared with the deep voice of the leader of the bear tribe, the other party's voice was much louder.

The two tall and strong men hugged tightly, and then Huobi was pulled into the middle of the carnival crowd, and the clansmen following him also naturally joined the orc group, which was already very lively. The ground grew noisier because of their presence.

"You have to taste this, the sweetest nectar brewed by the Flame Fox Clan, I managed to get it." Taking out an unusually tight animal skin bag from his arms, he threw it to Hobby, Wharton's The tone of voice carries the intimacy that only friends who have known each other for many years should have.

After receiving the sachet, Huobi unplugged it first and sniffed it. After smelling the tangy aroma, he unceremoniously raised his head and took a big sip, then narrowed his eyes slightly with great enjoyment, and savored the scent carefully. The wonderful taste brought by a rare wine. "

"How?" Wharton, who had been paying attention to Huobi's expression, couldn't help asking.

"Great!" Responding happily to his old friend, Hobby said in admiration, "It's unbelievable that you can get it from the stingy Chris."

"It's not as difficult as you imagined, at least for me." Wharton said, pretending not to care.

"I remember that Chris often likes to exchange this with other tribes for help. You probably didn't agree to his strange request." Huobi, who was a little drunk, didn't forget to remind his friend.

"No, of course not!" Wharton categorically denied upon hearing the words, with an anxious tone that seemed to be trying to cover up.

"That's the best, the foxes are cunning guys, don't trust them." Huobi said sincerely, and began to turn to other topics: "The weak Yanhu family must have increased a lot to be able to walk with you. A sense of security. But this year you came too early, I remember that you were always the last to arrive in previous years, and I didn’t see you at all on the road, and there was no trace of you in the entire grassland.”

"We took a short cut this year." Hearing this, Wharton lowered his eyes guiltyly and replied somewhat vaguely.

When Huobi heard the words, a little confusion flashed in his eyes, then he glared at Wharton and shouted loudly: "Could it be that you took the group across the wasteland in order to arrive a few days earlier?"

Wharton was startled, and nodded in a daze.

Eyes widened in disbelief, Huobi said sternly: "Do you know how dangerous that is? Take the whole group through the desert that lacks food and water! Which idiot made you make such a decision?!"

Startled by Huobi's expression, Wharton involuntarily looked at the sac in Hoby's hand, and followed Wharton's line of sight to the wine sac in his hand. Huobi angrily said, "Just to get this?"

After being exposed by a few words from a shrewd old friend, Wharton was quite embarrassed and nodded reluctantly.

"Damn it!" Jumping up suddenly, Hobby blushed from the sudden outburst of anger, and sternly said while pacing back and forth: "I knew, cunning Chris never trades at a loss!" As if venting his anger After taking a few more gulps of wine, Hobby pushed away the panic-stricken Wharton, looked around and shouted loudly: "Chris, where are you, come out quickly, you actually let Wharton go to such a dangerous place, you This despicable guy! I want to make you look good!!" Unfortunately, his voice was drowned in the loud cheers and shouts, and not many people noticed this guy who was dazzled by alcohol.

Of course, Chris didn't hear Hobby's angry shouts, and he was leading Ryan to a place completely away from the hustle and bustle.

"Where are we going?" Ryan finally couldn't help asking after walking a distance in silence behind Chris.

"It will be there soon, I assure you." Chris said reassuringly, turning his head to look at Ryan.

"Okay." Looking at the leader of the fox clan who looked more serious than usual, Ryan shrugged and put away the questions that just came to his mouth.

Leading Ryan all the way forward until he reached the moving giant tent, Chris finally stopped.Looking at the covered and airtight tent, Ryan's eyes flashed with curiosity. After staying in the orc community for many days, Ryan also noticed this strange tent.

Pushing aside the tightly entangled vines, Chris uncovered a corner of the tent.The innate night vision talent of the Griffin Clan allowed him to see the situation in the tent clearly. The precious females of the Flame Fox Clan were gathered in the tent. What surprised Ryan was the wilting state of these beautiful females at this time, and Scary burn marks on the body.

How is this going?He looked at Chris confused.

The young leader of the Yanhu Clan looked calm and sad, and shook his head when he heard the words: "I don't know, this terrible disease has suddenly spread among the females of our clan, they can no longer be exposed to the sun, otherwise, they will burn all over their bodies. , more seriously, will die soon. We have not been able to find out the reason, so we came to the sea of ​​trees first, and prayed for the help of the high priest."

"You want me to take them into the sea of ​​trees?" Ryan looked hesitantly at Chris.

"No," Chris shook his head quickly when he heard the words: "I know that the sea of ​​trees is a forbidden place for the orcs, so I never expected that much, only myself." Looking at Ryan, Chris said sincerely: "You Just take me into the sea of ​​trees, and I will tell the high priest everything in order to get his help."

"Okay," after a long silence, Ryan said in a deep voice: "The Griffon tribe never owes others' kindness. I am grateful for your care for me in the desert, so I promise you to take you into the sea of ​​trees, but I don't want to Guarantee whether the high priest will answer your prayer."

"Thank you so much." Chris finally showed a sincere smile.

After simply agreeing on this matter, Chris and Ryan returned to the place where the ethnic groups gathered. At some point, Hobby became the center of the crowd. The completely drunk Hobby started talking nonsense. At this time, he had completely forgotten Looking for Chris, completely immersed in his drunkenness, "Listen to me!" Hearing Hobby, after attracting everyone's attention, he said with complacency: "I know we saw it when we passed through the grassland. What? A giant dragon! A group of giant dragons! They just flew over our heads like this!" After speaking, Huobie, who was especially incompetent, started to gesture with his hands, and his movements were very exaggerated.

"The dragons won't step into the grassland at all, Huobi, you must be dazzled." Chris, who got his wish, was in a particularly good mood, and he couldn't help but tease loudly after hearing the words.

"Damn it, I saw it with my own eyes, I swear to the beast god!" Seeing Chris suddenly, the anger that hadn't dissipated in Hobby's heart welled up again, although he couldn't remember that it was because of He was angry for some reason, but he still stumbled over, intending to argue with this abominable leader of the fox clan.

Wharton, who really couldn't stand it anymore, after discovering Huobi's intentions, finally made a move and pulled the drunk with a bad drink aside. Although he was still struggling and making noise, not many people paid attention to him anymore.

After Huobie left the arena, the people who followed Huobie couldn't wait to describe what they saw. Huobie's vague roars about the dragon were filled with countless repetitions, and finally became detailed and real.

And the orcs of other tribes who were skeptical like Chris, are also slowly accepting this amazing news in doubt - the dragons really appeared in the prairie that the orc tribes must pass through on their way to Sunset Valley, and they appeared in groups Yes, the number is quite astonishing.With this kind of cognition, some curious guys couldn't wait to inquire about various details. Soon, the originally low-pitched inquiry turned into a lively discussion, and the discussion overshadowed Huobi's roar. It was the focus of people's gathering again, but Huobi still stubbornly finished what he wanted to say, with a dull and serious look unique to drunks, Huoby looked straight ahead somewhere in the empty space, and spoke slowly. Said: "There was a big fire in the distant forest, it must have been destroyed by the tyrannosaur's anger! They were looking for an enemy, they kept looking for him in the whole continent, I know, only I saw it..."

When the focus of everyone's attention was on the giant dragon, no one noticed that a subspecies was leaving the place of other people, and slowly approached the lively carnival crowd, listening carefully to all the information about the giant dragon.
