The moonlight was clear, and the red flames at the entrance of the Hujia Mountain cave were like a giant mouth of an abyss, waiting to swallow up all life that came close to it.
The outside of the cave was already in chaos. In his panic, Yutai suddenly discovered that there was no movement at all inside the cave.
Could it be that all the Hu family orcs have...
Thinking of this possibility, Sarutai suddenly felt very flustered.
"Hu Zhenzhen!"
"Tiger Mountain!"
"Are you in there?" Sarutai shouted loudly.
No one answered.
"Hu Fu! Hu Dong! Are you okay?" Several Zai Zai also noticed something strange. They stopped what they were doing and shouted into the cave.
Still no response.
Yuantai raised his hands and said to the hesitant tribesmen: "Although the fire is terrible, it has only been a tool to help us cook in these years. With so many lives in the Hu family, how can you
Do you just have the heart to watch them burn to death?
Think about the old patriarch and what the Hu family did to you!"
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed.
Back then, there were quite a few orcs who had inherited the kindness of the old patriarch. The Hu family's betrayal of the tribe had not yet been concluded. Emotionally, the tribesmen were still partial to the Hu family.
Watching a few cubs go to the river to fetch water with their mouths hanging open, sweating profusely from running around, the adult orcs finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"let me help you!"
"Come on, let's all come together, we can't let the Hu family just disappear."
"Yes, no matter whether the Hu family did something like that or not, I have to listen to Mrs. Hu herself. I still don't want to believe it is true."
"Me too."
Everyone holding buckets and pots spontaneously organized to put out the fire. Sarutai quickly said: "You line up in several lines. If you are afraid of fire, stand closer to the river. Those who are not afraid should stand closer to the river."
, just stay closer to the cave, don’t panic, don’t be afraid! We will go up together, we will definitely go very quickly.”
With the addition of adult orcs, the process of putting out the fire has indeed sped up a lot.
They pulled the water out of the river and passed it to the last orc one by one, who poured it on the burning wood...
The sky was slightly brighter, and the fire was finally extinguished. The vegetation piled at the entrance of the cave was basically burned, and there were only a few sparks on the charcoal, and occasionally there would be a soft "pop" sound.
An adult male walked around the charcoal on the ground and wanted to move forward to remove the stone at the entrance of the cave. However, he found that the stone was hot and there was no way to open it to check the situation of the Hu family orcs inside.
The little cubs finally couldn't hold it in any longer, so they sat on the ground and began to cry loudly. Only two traces of tears could be seen on their dark little faces. While crying, they asked Yuantai: "Witch doctor, they don't know how to
Something's wrong."
"Are Hufu and the others still alive?"
Sarutai looked at the entrance of the cave again, and said with a heavy heart: "I hope!"
"Don't stop, everyone, keep pouring water on the rocks, so that the temperature of the rocks will drop faster." After saying that, Sarutai went to the river to carry water again.
…
As early as when the clansmen began to prepare to put out the fire, Langli and Hugu received notification from their subordinates, but in order to make the matter look like an accident, they did not come forward to stop the fire-fighting operation.
It wasn't until the fire was extinguished that Langlu pretended to come to the Hu's cave and said with a distressed look: "How could this happen? I asked people to lock them up, but I just hope they don't run around. Who can
Did you think that something like this would happen?"
"That is, if something happens to the Hu family, wouldn't the betrayal of the tribe mentioned before be unproven?" Hu Gu also added fuel to the fire.
"Clan leader, why did the Hu family's cave suddenly catch fire? Is it really the beast god who is punishing the Hu family?" A tribesman asked uneasily.
This statement was in line with Lang Lun's intention. He nodded sadly: "It seems that this can only be the reason! How could there be such a big fire if it wasn't the beast god who sent down the punishment from heaven!"
"Could someone deliberately bring fire and light it at the door of Hu's house?" Que Wu wiped the black ash on his face with his arm and said another possibility.
"Impossible, who would have such a big hatred against the Hu family? Besides, even if we get fire, it won't ignite such a big fire!" Hu Gu immediately retorted.
"Anyway, I hope the Hu family will be fine. If something happens, won't the three brothers from the Hu family go crazy when they come back?" Some orcs said worriedly.
"Are they crazy? If the Hu family did such a thing, our tribe should subdue them together and make them pay the price they deserve!" Hu Gu was very arrogant, as if the Hu family orcs in the cave were really gone.
.
At this moment, a small voice finally came from the cave: "Help."
The voice was very soft, and it sounded like it was coming from a little baby.
"It's Ling'er, Ling'er is still alive!" Que Wu was the first to get excited, "They must be fine!"
"Ling'er, Ling'er, can you hear me? Are you okay?" Ignoring the still hot charcoal under his feet, he ran to the cave entrance in a few steps and shouted into the cave.
"Are Grandma Tiger and the others in there? How are you doing?"
"Help!"
Hu Ling'er didn't answer the question, but said these two words.
Finally got a response, and the rescued tribesmen were all excited. What everyone was most concerned about now was not whether the Hu family had done anything bad, but whether the Hu family was still alive.
"Quick, everyone, work harder and pour more water to move the stone away!" Sarutai shouted excitedly.
The tribesmen watered even harder, and the temperature of the stone finally dropped to a level that could be touched. Several adult orcs stepped forward and worked together to push away the stone blocking the entrance of the cave.
