Chapter 554: The Seasons Are Out of Order
In the orc tribe, for some unknown reason, there have always been fewer females than males, and the ratio of females to males is one to fifty, regardless of whether they are adults or minors. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If the elderly or minors are removed, the proportion is even higher.
The orcs have worked hard to mate and cultivate, but the male orcs give birth to a lot, but it is difficult to give birth to females, so the female beasts in the tribe have become more and more precious.
Coupled with the fact that the Holy Queen herself is also a female, the status of females is getting higher and higher.
At the beginning, the seasons in the Spirit Continent were very normal, spring, summer, autumn and winter. And the winter is not so cold, such warm conditions like spring, so that the descendants of the orcs quickly reproduced, and the number is increasing day by day.
From a few dozen orcs at the beginning, it gradually increased to hundreds, thousands, and even tens of thousands at its peak.
I don't know when it started, but the four seasons of the spirit race gradually began to deform, and the orcs gradually discovered it.
Spring seems to have passed in an instant, and the temperature has risen before the leaves have been green for a few days, and even the early summer has been saved, and it has directly entered the middle of summer.
The high temperature during the day is scary, and the fur can be dried directly, only in the morning and evening, the temperature is slightly lower, but it is also hot to the soles of the feet.
The water in the river was gradually exposed to the riverbed by such a scorched sun, and Rainbow became anxious, because of this bad weather, many people had died one after another.
The reasons are nothing more than death from sunburn and death from thirst.
Originally, the summer was only three months and would leave, but this time it actually stayed on the Spirit Continent for five months.
It was also in these five months that the Spirit Race lost the lives of nearly a thousand orcs.
Most of them are elderly orcs, with a small number of female orcs.
Although Rainbow had strictly ordered them not to go out at noon, some orcs were so hungry and thirsty that they still had a fluke mentality, and finally could not escape the bad luck of being sunburned and thirsty to death.
Finally survived the summer, everyone cheered, according to the past practice, the winter temperature of the spirit clan is basically around five degrees, most of them are covered with thick fur, and they are not afraid of such a degree of cold.
Once again, they were wrong. Who would have thought that yesterday was still a summer when the temperature was as high as more than 50 degrees, and that night there was a sudden heavy snow of goose feathers, and the temperature dropped directly to minus thirty or forty degrees?
Another difficult five months of winter passed, and the orcs were frozen to death and starved to death in large numbers.
Most of them were young orcs and children.
When winter passed, they thought it would be spring and that there would be a chance for them to recuperate, but the hot summer came again.
When they prepared something to resist the heat, the next day suddenly it snowed again.
The seasons are all messed up!
In such a situation of alternating hot and cold, the population of the orc kingdom of Rainbow began to drop sharply.
There was an old orc, tremblingly suggesting to Rainbow that they had offended the gods, and this was the punishment from the gods?
Do you want to build an altar and pray to the gods for sacrifices?
Rainbow Cai'er is from the Xuanming Continent, she herself is from a spirit body, so she naturally knows that there is such a thing as a god.
For the sake of the people of the tribe, she immediately agreed to come down and build an altar.
Strange to say, just when they decided to build the altar, the weather suddenly turned for the better, and it turned into a spring in the teens of degrees.
The trees that had been sunburned reopened their green leaves, and the withered flowers also sprouted flower bones.
The old orcs were pleasantly surprised, and sure enough, they had the right idea.
In fact, at this time, Rainbow Cai'er was still a little confused, in fact, she had never seen the so-called gods, how to communicate with her?
It's just that she is the Holy Queen and the leader of this group of orcs, and this kind of thing can only come to her.
She sat cross-legged on the altar and pondered intently, how to communicate with the ethereal gods.
At this moment, the orcs who knelt down below saw golden light falling from the sky, enveloping the strongest, youngest, and most capable orcs of all races.
At the same time, a very majestic voice also came from Rainbow's mind.
The voice told her that the gods had taken a fancy to some of the orcs, thought they were well-qualified, and wanted to bring them back to the Upper Realm and take them as disciples.
He also told her how to send these people to the upper realm: that is, to send these people to the altar, and lock the door of the only passage, and then open it again in three days.
Rainbow told the orcs the voice in her head, and the orcs who were selected were not panicked, but were very honored, and said that it was a supreme honor to be selected by the gods for the safety of their families.
According to the voice, Rainbow locked the orcs on the altar, and after three days, when she went to check again, there was no one in the altar.
Everyone only thought that they were really taken to the upper realm by the gods, but Rainbow's face was very ugly.
She is a spirit, pure and flawless in her own right, and sensitive to all kinds of smells, especially blood.
Inside the altar, there was a strong smell of blood, although there was not a single drop of blood here.
Her feelings don't lie to her!
On the second day after the sacrifice, a certain orc patriarch suddenly said that he had received the will of the gods, and the gods taught them how to survive in the harsh environment.
The gods also guided and told them that in the Red Sun Forest, where there was abundant water, where there were herds of wild beasts, they could survive.
They did so, and sure enough, many people were saved, and from then on, they became more and more in awe and trust in the gods, even more than Iridescent.
And the orc, who sensed the will of the gods, also became an elder in the tribe.
The orc elder is very authoritative, and what he says is better than that of the Holy Queen. Because he directly represents the gods.
Rainbow sat alone on the altar, and the more she stayed, the more uneasy she felt.
The eight orcs who were picked up were all with her at the beginning, and they were also the orcs with the best transformation, the highest ability, and the strongest Xuanming aura contained in their bodies.
After living in the orc tribe for so long, she is no longer the blank piece of paper spirit she used to be.
She felt that it was not simple, and there must be a conspiracy.
The orcs who were picked up did not go to the upper realm at all, they must have been killed by some powerful force, or directly absorbed.
It's those cultivators in the Xuanming Continent who want to use her as food and tonic for the same.
She was uneasy, she was apprehensive, but she couldn't find any real evidence.
Until she conceived a female, there were constantly older orcs in the tribe, who were said to have received the guidance and will of the gods.
They either begged, or secretly persecuted the rainbow, to perform some kind of ritual to make the female in the womb a spirit maiden, and to succeed her as the holy queen in the future.
At the same time, she had to perform some kind of sacred ritual to report and pray to the gods, that is, to drip the pregnant blood on the sacred stone, and to accompany the sacred stone for a whole month.
