Orc Predator

There was silence in the jungle, and only the footsteps of five people echoed among the branches and leaves, as if this place was a paradise isolated from the outside world. Ah Liu frowned slightly, with his left hand resting on the handle of the knife, his movements seemed casual, but in fact every muscle in his body was tense, and he could respond immediately to any abnormal movements.

Phil's feet were weak, and he staggered when he was tripped by a branch. He suddenly let out a soft cry, and Les next to him quickly grabbed him with his hands. The blond non-orc heaved a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully at Les.

"Ah Liu, take a break." Les suggested panting slightly, Ah Liu turned around and saw that the other four people, including the little white tiger, were panting continuously, their hair was wet with sweat. Since leaving the cave, the group has barely rested, and the children naturally couldn't hold on, and Phil, who usually lacks exercise, is almost at his limit to last here, let alone he is still pregnant; Underneath, Les, who is just short of breath, is in pretty good condition, but here...

As if seeing Ah Liu's hesitation, the little white tiger rushed up to him in two steps, looking at him pitifully with big wet eyes.

The black-haired non-orc finally had no choice but to compromise. He raised his eyes and looked around carefully, and found a corner with good concealment. The trees here are very dense, and there are scattered shrubs beside him. It's hard to spot traces.

Regardless of the cold, several people collapsed to the ground as soon as their buttocks touched the ground, obviously exhausted. Ah Liu threw a few wild fruits that he picked while walking into the hands of several people. Although they were tasteless, they at least quenched their thirst.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound behind him, Ah Liu clenched his scimitar and looked in the direction of the sound, a leopard suddenly sprang out from the forest, before he could move, the leopard had already run past in front of him, as if he didn't notice A few people generally do not stop. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, Ah Liu sat back on the spot again, but within a few minutes, two more beasts ran past them.

"Stay still." After Ah Liu finished speaking, he turned around and jumped into the forest, proceeding cautiously in the direction the beast came from. He always felt that something was wrong. The three beasts who ran past seemed to be disinterested in them, so they turned a blind eye, but in his eyes, that kind of behavior was closer to running for their lives in a hurry and had no time to take care of them.

The ground trembled faintly, Ah Liu squinted his eyes, turned around and ran back to the resting place of several people with all his strength. He pulled Phil who was still lying on the ground to hide behind the tree, and covered Phil's mouth with his hand. The purple-haired non-orc who was resting on the tree next to him looked at him in surprise, opened his mouth and was about to ask, but there was a sound of running behind him, and then a large group of animals rushed past them. Looking out through the gaps in the branches, I saw that the group of animals mixed with herbivores such as antelope and wildebeest, and there were many small and medium-sized predators such as tigers, leopards, and lin beasts. This animal tide is like a flood It usually rushes over, but it comes quickly and ends in a moment. In just a few minutes, I don't know how many animals ran past. The forest returned to silence, the dust was flying, and the ground vibrated violently like a heartbeat. Ah Liu's face was serious, and he stretched out his hand to cover Phil's mouth.

Rice seemed to realize that something was wrong, and pressed one hand to the ground and said something softly. The purple vines immediately came out from the ground, and quickly wove a giant net to surround the five people. Then the purple color faded and turned into a peaceful vine. The tree trunks behind him were the same gray-brown color, and under this layer of camouflage, he reached out and covered the mouths of the two children just like Ah Liu.

The next moment, a huge tyrannosaurus ran past the trees where they were hiding with heavy steps. Its speed did not match its huge body, and its roar overwhelmed the wailing and footsteps of all the previous animals. They are so close, everything reflected in the eyes through the camouflaged vines is like a slow motion, it leans over, bites a wildebeest, chews a few times and then swallows, the sound of clicking seems to be approaching In the ears, you can even see the blood stains between the sharp teeth of the Tyrannosaurus rex, embellished brightly and glaringly in the pale.

The scream that Phil almost blurted out was ruthlessly suppressed by Ah Liu. The black-haired non-beastman always remained expressionless, but his face was a little paler than usual. Les used his hands to keep the two children absolutely quiet. There were faint bulges on his wrists. He clenched his teeth tightly to prevent himself from losing control. There was blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he bit his mouth inadvertently. Being so close to death, even Ah Liu and Rice, who were still calm, had no time to think, and there was almost nothing left in their minds, but they were very clear that there was only one dead end to go out now, and the only way was to be under the cover of vines Wait for the tyrannosaurus to walk past before waiting for an opportunity to escape.

In any case, wait.

In the dead silence, there were only violent heartbeats and heartbeat-like earthquakes. After what seemed like a century, the tyrannosaurus finally followed the herd away. Ah Liu let go of Phil's hand, and the fair face of the fair-haired non-orc left a light blue mark because of his strength just now. Les still maintained the posture just now, and it took a few minutes before he regained his sense of relaxation, and his limbs were put down stiffly, only then did he realize that the clothes on his body had been soaked in sweat.

"Let's go." Ah Liu whispered, and the vines opened with his movements, and disappeared into the ground again. There was no objection, and everyone didn't speak. They followed the black-haired non-orc and moved forward mechanically without saying a word. This strange state of calm was maintained until evening. When passing a small stream, Phil suddenly went limp and fell down without warning.

Fortunately, Ah Liu reacted very quickly, turned around and caught Phil's body, only to see that his face was frighteningly pale under the messy blond hair.

"He is pregnant, and the long-distance travel is already a bit unbearable." After checking, Rice said: "Combined with the shock today, it is already the limit."

"Is it dangerous?" Ah Liu's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and his voice was still faint.

"Not really, but the child probably won't be able to keep it." Rice said, he pondered for a moment, and then spoke again, "If we divert to the tenth district now, maybe it's still too late."

"How long will it take?" Ah Liu said, carrying the blond non-orc man on his shoulders.

"Less than two days." Rice judged the direction and replied.

Accompanied by a loud bang, the stone building collapsed into ruins. Adolf couldn't help clenching his fists, Cedric noticed his emotional change, and added more force to the orc's hand.

Most of the orcs who were still alive had fled, leaving corpses and ruins everywhere. The Tyrannosaurus finally seemed bored and turned around and went back into the woods. Cedric didn't let go until the Tyrannosaurus figure disappeared from sight, and Adolf, who couldn't bear it anymore, rushed out at the fastest speed, transformed into a beast shape, and searched for a long time among the ruins. He finally relaxed after not seeing the corpse of the non-orc.

In mid-air, Cedric, who had been watching his movements all the time, was also slightly relieved. Randomly, he looked up at the endless forest.
