River of Death 12
Thanks to Gong Licheng for the tip. It's already home, so the daily update reverts to one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Because I have to do housework in the morning, everyone understands!
Mordor saw the hesitation on Lan Ruoxin's face, and he was afraid that he still didn't dare to get close to it because of the bloody slaughter on both sides of the 'River of Death' he saw in the morning.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered. Every few days, large animals in the River of Death come to the banks of the river in groups to drink water, but they return to their nests after drinking and do not stay there. So while the crocodile clan is full, it's a good time for us to get water. ”
"That's it! Oh. "No wonder she hadn't seen any large beasts in the vicinity the other day, it wasn't her luck at all, but the fact that those large animals had to go to the 'River of Death' to drink water in order to survive. After drinking the water, they will naturally flee back desperately, otherwise they will stay there and wait to be slaughtered?
It didn't take long for Mordor to guess, and as Mordor had guessed, the places where you could drink water on both sides of the River of Death, which were originally covered with the corpses of wild beasts, were now very quiet. The well-fed crocodile tribe climbed on both sides of the river bank in groups, lazily basking in the sun and enjoying a good life.
The carcasses of the beasts on both sides of the river had disappeared without a trace, but the crocodile's belly was bulging. If it weren't for the green grass on both sides of the river, with stains of blood and some scraps of 'meat', Lan Ruoxin would have thought that the massacre she saw in the morning was just her dream.
The water of the river has returned to clear, and from time to time some thirsty little animals come to the banks of the river to drink water, and the crocodile orcs basking in the sun turn a blind eye. But when the occasional large beast approaches. They will still drive, but not kill.
"There's so much crocodile here, let's try it a little further upstream." Lan Ruoxin looked at the large crocodiles on both sides of the strait and opened his mouth a little timidly.
She didn't want to 'get' water to drink in the bloody river, which would remind her of all sorts of animals that had died horribly, and she might have vomited it before she could drink it!
"Hmm." Mordor seemed to see Lan Ruoxin's careful thoughts, and he nodded.
The perfect opportunity was given up because of Lan Ruoxin's hypocritical thoughts, so she had to take her hand and continue to walk upstream in accordance with her ideas.
Lan Ruoxin looked at their clenched hands. Looking at Mordor's thin 'lips' that didn't speak but pursed tightly, there was an indescribable feeling of 'chaos' and 'chaos' in my heart.
"Y-do you think I'm a burden?"
Lan Ruoxin's bitter, slightly hoarse voice sounded in Mordor's ears.
Mordor turned his head sideways to look at the complicated tangled expression on the little female's face, but he held her hand tightly and lovingly, as if he wanted to transfer his strength and confidence to her through his clenched hands.
"How so? If it weren't for you, I'd be dead! ”
Lan Ruoxin looked up at Mordor and glanced at the wound covered by the beast's skin coat, but it was even more bald.
She knew that Mordor was comforting herself, if it weren't for herself, how could Mordor be injured and almost die? Mordor had just explained it to her. At this time, the crocodile tribe over there was full of food, and it would not be life-threatening to take the opportunity to get water, but she still didn't want to drink the bloody river water.
Someone like her with a modern mindset came here. Come to this orc island. Some thoughts would kill her, but she still didn't want to give up.
What is she not hypocritical? The animals paid with their lives for a saliva. But she obviously had a good chance, and after they sacrificed their lives and gave their 'flesh' to feed those murderous crocodile orcs, she still cared about the ridiculous thoughts in her heart.
Maybe she hasn't been 'forced' to a desperate situation yet. Think about the need to stay alive when a major earthquake strikes. There are not a few people who drink their own 'urine' and eat toilet paper.
If she is 'forced' to such a desperate situation and still sticks to some of her previous thoughts, it is estimated that she will die first!
At this moment, looking at Mordor's pampered expression that was silent but did not blame her at all, Lan Ruoxin suddenly figured it out.
She is right to have some modern and advanced ideas, but when it comes to practical use. Some ideas should be discarded without hesitation, not because of some of your own hypocritical ideas. Killing the orcs around her, she will only feel more guilty, more pain and self-blame at that time. After figuring it out, Lan Ruoxin changed again.
Although Lan Ruoxin is still a modern person, she feels that modern life is far away from her. Looking at the huge trees around her, the dense grass that was more than two meters high, she felt that the old modern city life seemed untouchable.
Walking side by side with Mordor, she has become a true primitive, one who may do anything to survive, abandoning most of modern thinking to become a member of the orc race.
Lan Ruoxin raised his head, his eyes as if he had something to say, and secretly glanced at the male 'sex' beside him.
Mordor, let me be 'sexual' one last time, and from now on, I will forget that I am a modern person, and I will use the knowledge that is useful to you to help you improve your life as much as possible. I will try to be a qualified primitive orc.
After walking about five miles from where I had left, I came to the banks of the River of Death again. There were no killings of wild beasts by the crocodiles, and the air was exceptionally fresh.
Mordor asked Lan Ruoxin to hide in the grass on the shore, and he himself took Lan Ruoxin's hollowed out gourd to fetch water.
Lan Ruoxin was not at ease, but he couldn't stop it. Because she knew that neither Mordor nor the other males of the Aqia tribe would let a female take the risk.
She had to disguise Mordor from head to toe with leaves and twigs, and then handed Mordor the gourd she had used yesterday to steal water and tie the straw rope.
Pointing to a very bent tree that grew on the side of the river, the branches of a large tree had bent to the surface of the river due to the lack of sun, and motioned for him to stand on it, and threw the gourd down the river to steal water.
Even if they were spotted by the crocodile orcs, they would not be able to attack Mordor standing in the trees on the river.
Unless they climb the river bank and then climb the tree, they will have the potential to inflict damage on Mordor. In that case, Mordor's agile speed would have escaped with her long ago.
When Mordor heard this plan, he looked at Lan Ruoxin's eyes even brighter, and his eyes were so hot that he almost melted the beauty in front of him.
He climbed up the gourd with the gourd, and crooked the crooked neck tree that grew to the surface of the river, and as he climbed, he still wondered why the little female 'sex' was so clever and thought of all kinds of undangerous ways to steal water, why he hadn't thought about it before, and the other orcs only knew how to do it?
Mordor followed the method taught by Lan Ruoxin, and threw the gourd tied to the grass rope to the surface of the river at his feet until the water soaked the gourd. He pulled it up and hurriedly poured it into a good gourd that Lan Ruoxin had tied up with vine man on his waist before the water inside the gourd leaked. Take one off and have three more gourds on your waist. And so on and so forth.
Under the river, the flying fish is quietly closing its eyes and recuperating. Suddenly, there was the sound of something falling into the river.
Could it be that another orc has taken the opportunity to steal water? The flying fish was napping beside him, and a few crocodile orcs who had failed to evolve were lazy, and their eyes fiercely motioned for them to surface to take a look.
A few minutes later, the orcs who had failed to evolve sank to the bottom of the river in fright, swam to the side of the flying fish, and several crocodiles squeaked and reported to the flying fish in panic in the beast language.
It is said that there is a monster covered in leaves, standing on a large tree on the surface of the river, and a gourd tied to a straw rope is comfortably stealing their river water.
When a few daring crocodiles found out, they jumped to the surface of the water and took to the air. I want to take that monster that I have never seen before and attack it from the big tree to see what kind of monster it is.
As a result, as soon as they rushed out of the river, they found that they were still some distance away from the monster standing on the big tree above their heads, and they could not attack.
A few unwilling crocodiles yelled at the monster, but the monster was not afraid, but when they rushed out of the water, they gave them a few kicks in the air, kicked them back under the river, and 'stirred' up the water and 'flowers'. Although they were not injured, the humiliation and fright caused them to feel a little jealous.
All the crocodiles in the vicinity have 'exposed' to the surface. One by one, they stared at the monsters above their heads that were comfortably stealing water, but none of the orcs of the crocodile clan dared to be presumptuous. It's just because it's the first time they've encountered monsters who dare to steal their territory and steal water, but they don't care so much about the unscrupulous.
A monster covered in leaves? Flying Fish listened to a few orcs who failed to evolve, and you narrated it word by word. He suddenly remembered the petite monster he had seen yesterday covered in leaves and secretly hiding in the grass to steal water. Could it be the same monster?
Flying Fish thought it might as well go and see for himself. He silently swam to Mordor stealing water and stood at the bottom left of the tree, and from the bottom of the water, it was indeed a foliage-covered monster stealing water from their crocodile clan in the same way. But ----- seemed to be much bigger than the monster he had seen yesterday.
Is it from the monsters? But why did they all go to his jurisdiction to steal water?
Because the orcs of their crocodile tribe eat an astonishing amount of food, and they can't leave the 'River of Death' for a long time to hunt away from the riverbank, they can only wait for the rabbit-like to kill all kinds of animals that come to drink, including orcs of various races on land.
Although those land orcs are smarter than ordinary beasts and have stronger attack power, their crocodile clan is superior in numbers and cubs. The population is staggering and occupies the entire 'River of Death'.
It's a pity that such a huge number is the entire island, and all the races of orcs combined, but there is a fatal flaw. That is their crocodile clan, only one orc who has successfully evolved, lives at the source of the 'River of Death', that is, at the junction with the territory of the Tiger tribe.
The only crocodile orc is naturally the only leader, and the other ninety percent of the people are beasts that have failed to evolve, and they are no different from modern crocodiles except for their huge size.
After that, the few remaining parts were all half-evolved crocodile half-orcs, like flying fish. The front half of the body is soft skin down the chest, but the whole back down is a firm black scale.
The upper body is human-like, but the lower body itself drags a huge and heavy crocodile tail.
