Chapter 418 Rescuing the Lion Clan Members
Just as those enormous, ferocious black bears were about to be surrounded and cornered by the orcs, and were about to meet their demise, two more low, deep bear roars suddenly rang out.
However, when the orcs present heard these two voices, they all stopped what they were doing and stood there looking at each other.
Ruan Mianmian, who was standing to the side, knew nothing about animal language. Seeing the strange reactions of the beastmen, she was filled with doubt and curiosity.
Her large, bright eyes stared blankly at the beastmen before her, trying to find answers from their expressions and actions.
At this moment, Sen, who had been guarding Ruan Mianmian, turned his head and explained to her in a low voice, "Judging from this sound, it should be made by a female, and there are two females nearby. Their voices sound very weak, as if they are begging for mercy."
The black bear-men, who were already covered in wounds and blood, struggled and slowly got up from the ground after hearing the two bear roars.
They stared intently at the group of orcs before them with fierce eyes, fearing that the orcs might suddenly rush forward and harm the two females who had cried out for help.
At this moment, their eyes revealed a resolute intent, as if warning these orcs that if they dared to continue their attack, they would fight to the last drop of strength to protect the safety of the females behind them.
Seeing this, Sen slowly took a step forward, facing the black bear beastmen directly. He stood tall and imposing, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
He stared coldly at the black bear beastmen and said, "I don't know where you come from, but this is the territory of the Lion Clan, and you have no right to linger here. Furthermore, you dared to openly attack my people; according to the rules, we have every right to kill you!"
Looking at the naturally domineering male before them, one of the bear-beastmen slowly spoke.
"We came to this plain because our habitat was destroyed. We encountered a blizzard, and our females were about to give birth, so we were anxious to find a warm cave. When we arrived here, we saw that the Lion Clan had a few caves, so we asked them if they could make room for our females to give birth. But then an avalanche suddenly occurred, burying several of our people and the Lion Clan beastmen under the cave. These past few days, we've been taking care of our females while slowly digging. It was your sudden appearance that led us to believe you knew our females were giving birth and came to steal them, which is why we attacked you!"
Yan and Mao exchanged bewildered glances. They had no idea that females gave birth! Besides, with so many cubs in their own tribe, who would want their Black Bear Spirit?
Upon hearing what the black bear beastman said, Sen quickly relayed his words to Ruan Mianmian.
“Ruan Ruan, in the Beastman Continent, there are also cases of people abducting females from other tribes in winter to force them to mate and bear their own cubs, so it’s normal for these Black Bear Beastmen to misunderstand. Right now, the most urgent thing is to rescue the Beastmen trapped in the cave.”
Ruan Mianmian nodded after hearing this. "Let's ignore these bear-beastmen for now. We're here to rescue people, so let's go to the lion clan's cave first."
Sen looked at the black bear-like beastman before him and said, "We are an eastern tribe from the other side of the valley, and the Lion Clan is our ally. We came here specifically to rescue them after learning they were trapped. We don't care about your females, but this is now Lion Clan territory, and I want you to leave!"
Zhuang, the black bear orc who had just spoken to Sen, wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Sen, saying, "A sudden heavy snowfall has caused our females to give birth soon. I can only let them finish here first, and then we'll find a cave to open. I can guarantee in the name of the Beast God that we will absolutely not cause any trouble. Especially since my people are still trapped in the cave, we must rescue them."
Sen saw that Zhuang's words made sense and were not on their own territory, so he didn't bother arguing with him. The most important thing now was to save lives.
So a group of orcs reached an agreement, and then the orcs from the eastern tribes, led by the jackal orcs, found the buried cave.
At the same time, they also saw that the two female black bears were indeed in labor.
Ignoring everyone else, Ruan Mianmian directed the orcs to carefully dig, afraid of harming any life that might still be alive inside.
After digging for a long time, they finally heard a faint cry for help.
Everyone dug even harder and finally broke open the cave.
Most of the lion-clan beastmen were unharmed, suffering only from oxygen deprivation and prolonged hunger. The lion-clan chieftain, Lie, was seriously injured while rescuing his people in the unexpected situation, but he was still breathing. The others sustained minor injuries from being hit by falling snow while standing at the cave entrance.
There were also five bear-like orcs inside, and it was clear that one of them was the leader. None of them were injured, but they were unconscious due to lack of oxygen.
Ruan Mianmian didn't care about those who had fainted due to lack of oxygen; she figured they would recover on their own as long as the air was circulating. The orcs' self-healing abilities were quite strong.
The remaining wounded orc, Ruan Mianmian, quickly arranged for her tribesmen to take the injured back to the Eastern Tribe for treatment. It wasn't that she was unwilling to help on the spot, but her situation was too special, and the people present were too numerous to ignore; she didn't want to reveal her abilities.
Furthermore, Zhihe Shi has gradually begun to study medicinal herbs, and they can now treat some common ailments on their own. Therefore, bringing them back is the best solution!
On their way back, they encountered members of the gorilla tribe who had come to check on the situation. They had initially thought the Eastern tribe was just there for the spectacle, but it turned out they were genuinely there to help.
Back in the tribe, Zhi and Shi focused on healing the Lion Clan members. Ruan Mianmian also instructed her people to prepare more food for the Lion Clan, since they were now unable to hunt and had been trapped and hungry for several days. Besides their living conditions, food was their most pressing need.
As for the food stored by the lions themselves, the caves have all collapsed, so who knows where it was buried?
They are especially afraid of facing another avalanche and cave collapse, so the majority of the troops are currently staying in the open under very basic conditions.
In times of hunger and cold, nothing is more comforting than food!
