Chapter 20: A New Beginning

Saul didn't expect that the cave was simply not long, like a tunnel with no end, and he simply wondered if this was the way to another world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The whole tribe had been walking in the cave for about five days, and since they couldn't see the sky outside, they could only rely on Diana's estimation in her heart, and according to Saul's own estimate, if not five days, they had walked for at least four days, and the tribe's food was almost finished, but they hadn't even seen the shadow of the exit.

Fortunately, there are no forks in the cave, except for a few turns at times, it is almost as if it has been dug by hand, and it leads to the other end.

Diana was at the front of the line, worried, and from time to time she ran to the front, putting her hands on the ground, or raising them high, sometimes sniffing the flowing wind with her nose, and then returning to Thor with a frown.

In recent days, Saul has become accustomed to a frowning Diana.

The entire passage of the cave was almost covered with the mycelium of all kinds of mushrooms, and the traces of iron ore that Thor had tracked had not disappeared until this time.

It amazed him, as if someone had opened the cave and then cultivated mushrooms here.

In this environment where you can't see the sky, there seems to be no end to moving forward, and the tribesmen seem to be panicking, but fortunately, after experiencing the storm, the cohesion of the tribe has been extraordinary.

The previous Noem led everyone through the storm. Today, the people still trust Thor to lead them out of their predicament and find their home.

Thor also went to the tribe from time to time, telling everyone that they would soon be able to get out of the cave, keeping a smile and showing a confident look, seeing that Nome seemed to be confident, and the mood of the tribesmen gradually settled down.

But back at the front of the line, facing Diana, Saul's brows unconsciously frowned, gathered together, and said with a sad face:

"How long will our food last, Diana?"

Diana didn't lift her head, she walked barefoot in front of Thor, as if intently feeling something. But that didn't stop her from answering Saul's question.

"The food will last for a few days with the mushrooms we've picked along the way, but the problem is that we don't have enough water. ”

"Didn't you already ask everyone to collect dew?"

"How much does it drip from the stone tip every morning, and the moisture in the wind is getting less and less, and I suspect that the storm outside has stopped. ”

Thor's expression suddenly became ugly, and he put down the jug he had just taken a sip of and asked, "Then how much water do we have left?" ”

Diana stopped, straightened up, and smiled softly at Thor, "That's all you just drank." ”

"What!?" Thor shook his hand, almost breaking the jar in his hand.

"Haha" Seeing Saul's shocked expression, Diana laughed softly.

"You're not kidding, Diana, when is it all the time, you're still laughing. ”

"No kidding, of course. The woman put away her smile and looked solemnly into Thor's eyes and said, "But don't worry too much, doesn't Lord Thor feel it?"

"Feel what?"

"Wind," said Diana, smiling, "the wind blowing through is getting cooler and fresher, which means that we are very close to the mouth of the cave." ”

"Reallyβ€”!" Thor jumped excitedly, not having walked through the dark cave for four or five days in a row, he couldn't understand the feeling of seeing the exit, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a desperate situation.

This is no less than a person who has been trekking in the desert for a long time, seeing that he is dying of thirst, and when he raises his eyes, he sees an oasis. Thor wanted to change his legs to two wheels and increase his speed a few notches, but in just a few days, he seemed to have forgotten what color the sun was, he was just a barbarian, not a caveman.

"Are you sure, Diana, when will you get to the exit?" Calming down, Thor looked at Diana with a serious face.

"At this rate, I think I'll be able to see the sun outside the cave in a few hours. ”

"Quick, go get the news to Blacktooth, Kratos and them. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Of course, Diana would not lie, and after receiving the news that "I will soon be able to get out of the cave", Heifang and the others urged the tribesmen to speed up their pace, so that the barbarians, who had been walking in the dark cave for nearly five days, finally saw the sun again.

The dazzling sunlight shook like a golden gong in the sky, and when Thor was the first to step out of the cave, he almost thought that the bright sun would tan him.

After walking in the dark cave for too long, the sudden dazzling sunlight made Thor very uncomfortable, not only him, but also the wild people who came out of the cave one after another, subconsciously protected their eyes.

Even worse, they fell directly on the side of the cave, or lay down, or crawl, or lean, quietly enjoying the feeling of the warm sun shining on their bodies, while waiting for their eyes to adjust to the sunlight outside the cave.

"Looks like it's supposed to be noon. Thor muttered as he gradually regained his adaptation and reopened his eyes to the world he knew.

Covered with trees and grass, the cave exit is a flat green meadow, with forests on the east and west sides, and there is no end in sight at the end of the meadow.

Thor walked a few steps, there were still many puddles in the grass that had not yet dried up, and it was clear that some of the grass was still being pushed to the side by the wind shortly after the storm, which confirmed Thor suspicions.

Returning to the crowd, with a smile of joy on their faces, they had come out, out of the dark and terrible cave, the storm had stopped, and Nome had once again led them through the odds, and the whole tribe could finally have a new beginning after all the dangers, how to be happy!

Diana instructed Bertha to count the numbers, but there was no way, there were only a few people who could do the job. The little wolf "Gray Wind" followed the girl's feet, running back and forth, and the two of them became inseparable good friends during this time, and "Gray Wind" was the name that Bertha gave the little wolf.

The little boy Tula followed Morey, and during the time he spent in the cave, Thor studied by Morey's side, learning the language, learning everything Morey could teach him, and Tula was also taken by Thor to study with him.

The boy was not a savage, and though he was not physically strong, he was far superior to his own kind in terms of intelligence, and learned the language even faster than Thor.

Sir Morey Trier was also amazed at Tula's cleverness, and treated the boy more attentively than to Saul, teaching him almost as if he were his own real student, and even teaching Tula many of the manners and culture of the Kingdom of France.

And Tula really regarded Morey as a teacher, sticking to the old man almost every day, which made Bertha very dissatisfied, and secretly made several small reports with Saul, but she still had "Gray Wind" with her, and gradually forgot about her dissatisfaction.

Kratos was still cold, and he was arranging for several warriors of the hunting party to go around to stand on guard, and the people who had just left the cave immediately rested and relaxed, in case they were attacked by wild beasts or other things, it would be very happy and sad.

"Tsk, it's like a machine. Thor couldn't help but complain to Kratos.
