It turns out that this time the river dried up not because of anything else but because the source had dried up.
Other tribes on the mainland received the news at the same time as Hu Ling'er.
For a time, many tribal shamans gathered together and prayed to the beast god, hoping that the beast god would give them water so that all the orcs could live.
But Hu Ling'er knew that this was useless.
Rather than placing your hopes on the illusory beast god, it is better to rely on yourself.
While the tribe's rivers have not dried up, stock up on food and water. After this drought period, they will become strong men on the Beast World continent.
Long Ao finally convinced Long Qi that he could not sit still and wait for death in the tribe. If the source really dried up, the biggest problem their tribe would face would be migration.
But for a tribe as large as theirs, not to mention how much of the original construction would have to be abandoned if they relocated, just site selection was a big problem.
Long Ao decided to go to the source and take a look himself.
It depends on whether the source was dried up by oneself, or the orcs used secret methods.
Hu Ling'er also had this idea.
She was not going to check the water source of the Namu tribe, but the water source of the Fanshan tribe.
But all the water sources come from the Maya Mountains. When they reach the place, they are actually the distance between this side of the mountain and the other side of the mountain.
Long Ao was the first to discover something was wrong.
The Maya Mountains are the sacred mountains on the continent of the Beast World. They are evergreen all year round, and the trees on the mountains have also been baptized by wind and rain for hundreds of years.
There is an unwritten rule on the Beast World continent. As long as an orc escapes to the Maya Mountains, it will be protected by the beast god, and other orcs cannot harm it.
At the same time, the orcs in the Mayan Mountains must also live in peace and cannot prey on each other. This rule also leads to the fact that there are many weak beasts in the Mayan Mountains, but strong beasts rarely live in the mountains, unless they are old and weak and difficult to hunt.
But now, looking around, there seem to be very few orcs on the mountain.
The mountain is very quiet, with the occasional chirping of birds coming out, but it makes people feel even more desolate.
"You stay here while I go to the mountain to take a look." Long Ao said to the eleven or so people.
"You also think something is wrong, don't you!" Long Ao asked, "Your strength is not as good as mine, and your reactions are not as fast as mine, so I'd better go ahead."
Long Ao said, no longer paying attention to them, and walked up the mountain.
Although the water source here has dried up, the plants on the mountain are not withered. The leaves and grass are still green, and there are even water drops rolling on the leaves of some wide nests.
This is even more strange.
If it is dried up due to drought, the plants here will definitely be affected, and there is no reason for them to be so vigorous.
Long Ao looked around and seemed to have a plan in mind before going down the mountain.
At the same time, Hu Ling'er also arrived at the mountain. Like Long Ao, she walked around the mountain before going down.
"Tomorrow, let's dig a hole in the mountain together. I want to see where the water under the mountain goes." Long Ao said.
"The water on the mountain seems to have been stolen. We have to dig it out and take a look." Hu Ling'er said.
So, the next day, the two groups of orcs digging wells met again on the mountain.
Shiyi saw Hushan first and thought he was dazzled. After taking a closer look several times, he realized that it was really Hushan and the others.
Since Hushan was here, the little Ling'er of the Hu family was also there, so Shiyi quickly told Long Ao the good news.
Their young master is not very close to people, but he cherishes the orcs of the Hu family, especially Hu Ling'er. Shi Yi can see it most clearly. After the young master sees Hu Ling'er, he can be happy for several days.
Neither Hu Ling'er nor Long Ao expected to meet here. When they met, they were both a little surprised, but after thinking about it, they felt it was reasonable.
"You also think there is a problem?" Hu Ling'er asked Long Ao.
"Yes, the plants on the mountain are obviously alive and well, but the original spring water on the mountain is gone. Also, have you noticed? There are so few animals on the mountain now, and they are nothing like the ones in the legend."
Long Ao explained his views to Hu Ling'er in detail.
Hu Ling'er nodded, "I have also discovered these, so today I brought my tribe to dig out and see what is under the mountain."
"Then let's dig together. If our two clansmen dig together, we will dig very quickly." Long Ao suggested.
Most of the men brought by Long Ao had been to the Fanshan tribe, and both sides were familiar with each other. After a few words, they became even more familiar with each other.
They chose a towering tree. There was a stream underneath the tree, so they started digging from here.
The roots of the tree were intertwined and protected the surrounding land very well. They tried their best to avoid the roots and finally dug a large hole two meters deep under the big tree.
The ground under the tree was damp, but no sign of water flow was found.
I continued to dig down to a depth of two meters, but the situation was still the same.
Eleven was a little confused. This was almost deeper than the well of his own tribe, but he still couldn't see the end.
"Keep digging!" Long Ao ordered.
The sun was already setting in the west, and I originally thought that there would be no results today, but the next second, a cry of surprise came from the pit, and all the orcs who were digging in the soil disappeared.
"Young Master, Great Witch, it's not good, there is a deep cave down there!" An orc came to report in a panic.
There was actually a deep cave, no one thought at that time.
"Sixteen, seventeen!"
"Xiong one, Xiong two, Hunan!"
"Are you all down there? How are you doing?"
I called out to the people below one after another, but there was no response for a long time.
The orcs above became worried.
With the physique of these orcs, even if they jumped into a four-meter-deep hole from above, they would not be seriously injured and would not be unable to respond.
So the current situation is that either the pit below is too deep for them to hear, or there is a more terrifying possibility, that is, they have had an accident.
"Ling'er, you stay up there, I'll go down and take a look." Long Ao said to Hu Ling'er.
"No, I can't wait here. I'll go with you."
Hu Ling'er knew that Long Ao could fly after transforming, which would definitely be more convenient than hers, but she couldn't bear to wait here all the time. What's more, with Long Ao here, he would definitely help her.
Sure enough, Long Ao did not reject Hu Ling'er's request. Instead, he arranged the matters that needed attention to Eleven and went down with Hu Ling'er. This chapter has been completed!
