Chapter 144 Settling the Elephant Herd
"Kun, how did you and Yu find the baby elephant?" Mi asked Kun curiously.
"Haha, well, you might not believe it, but I was shocked at the time," Kun said excitedly. "Yu's ability is sonic waves. He used a small-scale sonic wave, and the little elephant made a sound after hearing it. Then we located her after identifying our target."
After saying that, Kun felt a little melancholy, wondering when he would be able to advance and develop superpowers!
The orcs who went out afterwards shared their thrilling and exciting experiences during the rescue, which made the orcs who did not go out to participate in the rescue very excited.
"Wow, you guys are amazing! You actually managed to find the baby elephant like that."
"Yeah, I'm so envious of Yu's superpower. I wish I had superpowers too."
"That's right, but it's okay. Maybe we'll have superpowers too if we work hard to advance."
They said they definitely wanted to go out with the leader in the future, as it would be a completely different experience.
The beastmen of the Eastern tribe gathered around the campfire, happily discussing the rescue, while the beastmen of the elephant herd also gathered around a fire, reminiscing about the day's adventures.
"What happened today is a huge debt of gratitude that our Elephant Clan owes to the Eastern Tribe. If it weren't for the Goddess, we wouldn't have been able to save the baby elephant today, and she would surely have died," the Elephant Clan leader said with emotion.
“Yes, even if we hadn’t saved the cubs, we wouldn’t have survived the blizzard without a warm cave like this. We would have quickly died of hypothermia,” an older female nearby said, recalling the scene in the blizzard.
“If it weren’t for the goddess, we wouldn’t know what to do,” another elephant-type beastman said.
“Yes, today was really dangerous. If it weren’t for the goddess leading the way, we would definitely have lost our way in the snowstorm!” said another older female of the elephant tribe.
"They're still letting us stay in their caves. No wonder the Wolf King joined them. This tribe is wonderful!" A male orc from the Elephant Clan exclaimed in admiration as he looked at everything inside the cave and felt its warmth.
Just as they were praising the tribe and the goddess's power, a burst of cheerful laughter came from not far away.
It turned out to be a group of little beastmen playing a game. They chased each other, and their laughter echoed in the night sky.
Looking at these innocent children, the adults smiled with satisfaction.
They know that these children will become the future and hope of the tribe, and everything they are doing now is to protect the safety and well-being of these children.
The baby elephant beside Daman became restless after seeing the little orcs playing. She had been frightened by the harsh environment outside, and it took her a while to recover and slowly forget her fear.
Although she looks very big now, she is actually just a little beastman who was born not long ago, and she also has a playful and mischievous nature.
Daman quickly saw through her thoughts, so he couldn't help but gently stroke her head and say softly, "Bai Bai, look at your injured leg, you can't move at all right now. So you should lie here and rest well."
Bai Bai, the baby elephant, seemed to understand what its mother was saying. It couldn't help but gently rub its trunk against its mother, then looked listless and lay down again, looking sickly.
At this moment, the elephant-man beastman beside him frowned and said to Daman with concern, "Chief, Bai Bai's leg is injured, and there's a blizzard outside. How are we supposed to travel south? This is a real problem!"
By this time, Yong had rested enough. He walked over to the elephants' campfire and prepared to ask them about their situation.
As soon as they walked over, they heard their tribesmen asking them questions.
When Daman saw Yong approaching, he quickly stood up and bowed to him in gratitude.
Upon seeing this, Yong smiled and said, "Daman, we're old friends. My father and your mother are also friends. Our wolf clan has been on good terms with the elephant clan for generations, so you really don't need to be so polite."
After standing up straight, Daman couldn't help but say, "We are who we are, but today we are also grateful to you and the goddess for finding the cub and having a place to stay in this cold blizzard. The elephant clan will forever remember this kindness!"
Since Daman had brought this up, Yong sat down and prepared to explain in detail.
“Daman, you have witnessed the miracle of the goddess. I’m sure your mother told you about that legend before.”
Daman couldn't help but ponder Yong's words.
She had indeed heard the legend; every orc chieftain in every tribe must have heard of the tale of the goddess.
However, what they didn't know was that their elephant tribe had another legend.
Her mother, on her deathbed, told her these words: "A goddess has appeared in the world, with gods by her side. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise. A white elephant as her mount, she will unify the beast world!"
Because the white elephant was mentioned, and now she has not only seen the goddess, but the white elephant has also been born, this cannot help but make her think more.
"Yong, what are your thoughts?" Daman looked at Yong, wondering what his former partner was thinking.
Upon hearing this, Yong suggested, "The snow won't stop anytime soon, and it will be difficult for you to make your way south on your own. Why don't you stay with our tribe? We have enough food here to ensure you survive the winter safely."
Daman hesitated, "But... won't such a large group of orcs cause you trouble?"
Yong shook his head: "Don't worry, I'll talk to the chief later. Our tribe welcomes you. It's better for everyone to help each other than for you to freeze to death."
Daman gave Yong a grateful look and agreed to his suggestion.
Actually, even if Yong hadn't said anything, she had the same thought. Because she had her own plans in mind.
What if Bai Bai is the white elephant that the mother mentioned as her mount?
