PFC Chapter 138 Searching for the Baby Elephant
Chapter 138 Searching for the Baby Elephant
When Yong led Daman and her tribe to the valley, the snowstorm was already quite heavy.
The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and a cold wind howled through the valley, bringing a biting chill.
Snowflakes fluttered down, covering the earth and creating a vast expanse of white.
As Daman looked at the snowy scene before him, his mood grew increasingly heavy.
She thought of her cub, who had just been born and still needed her mother's care.
But now, she has lost her way in this cold, snowy landscape, her fate unknown.
"Chief, High Priest! It's urgent!"
As Yong shouted, he quickened his pace and ran ahead towards the cave.
He was extremely anxious, hoping to find the chief and the high priest as soon as possible and tell them about Daman's situation.
Today's decision was somewhat hasty, after all, he is no longer the chieftain and can no longer lead other tribes into the tribe's territory as freely as before.
But he could not remain indifferent to Daman's predicament.
Ruan Mianmian was checking the weather inside the cave when she suddenly heard Yong's roar coming from outside.
She frowned, unsure of what had happened, but she knew it couldn't be anything trivial.
She and Zhiwang walked towards the entrance of the cave. Before they even arrived, they saw a large group of animals rushing towards them from the valley, raising bursts of snowflakes.
"What...what's going on?!"
Ruan Mianmian stood there in surprise, while the tremors of the earth still caused panic among the orcs in the cave.
"Foreigners have entered the valley!"
Sen appeared behind Ruan Mianmian at some point, frowning as he looked at the entrance to the valley and spoke.
Upon hearing the word "foreign tribe," Ruan Mianmian immediately thought of the leopard tribe's invasion and became on high alert.
Mori pressed her trembling hand and said, "It wasn't an intruder, it was Yu who brought it back."
As they were talking, Yong had already run to the entrance of the cave.
He said, panting, “I went out on patrol today and ran into my old friend, Daman, the chief of the elephant tribe. Her cub is lost and she asked me for help. Because of the changing weather and the cub being too small, she had no choice but to seek help from the chief and the shaman.”
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Mianmian replied, "Let them in first. We can help find the elephant calves together."
Yong nodded, turned around, and let out a roar towards the valley entrance.
Soon, a group of elephants slowly walked into the valley.
Their clothes were covered in snowflakes, and their eyes revealed anxiety and helplessness.
Daman walked up to the Great Shaman and Ruan Mianmian and bowed his head gratefully.
She said in a low voice, "Thank you for your help. My child has been missing for two days, and if we don't find him soon, I'm afraid..."
Ruan Mianmian quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, we will find it."
"Let's go into the cave first. It's so cold, the snow will be much harder to see," Zhi said to Ruan Mianmian, looking at the dark sky in the distance.
"Alright, everyone, let's go into the cave."
After Ruan Mianmian made her statement, Yongcai led the herd of orcs toward the cave entrance.
So the elephant herd of beastmen transformed into human form and followed them into the cave.
Upon entering the gate, a wave of heat hit them, causing the elephant herd's beastmen to sigh deeply.
"This cave is so warm."
"Yes, the temperature is about the same as in the south where we went! It really feels as warm as spring."
"Yes, the temperature inside this cave is so comfortable, much better than the freezing cold outside."
"This place is simply a paradise!"
They chattered excitedly about how warm the cave was, while the beastmen inside remained silent, watching the group of rather burly elephant-like beastmen.
They sat by the fire, took out their divination tools, and asked Daman, "When did the cub go missing? In what direction was it likely to go?"
Daman recalled, "At a fork in the road heading south, we were looking for a place to rest yesterday when suddenly a blizzard started. The snow blinded us, and we couldn't see the road. My daughter and I got separated. I searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her..."
“Even if the snowstorm is fierce, the cubs should be able to be found, right? There’s still a chance of finding them if they’ve just gone missing.” Sen said, somewhat puzzled, after hearing Daman’s words.
Hearing Sen's question, Daman slowly lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes, and said in a choked voice, "My child is a female abandoned by the Beast God. She was born with snow-white skin, completely different from us. I can't find her at all on this vast white grassland!"
Ruan Mianmian listened attentively, and when she heard Daman say that his little beastman had white skin, she knew that it was an albino elephant.
I never imagined that albinism would exist on the Orcish Continent.
Hearing Daman's words, she couldn't help but say, "The little orc wasn't abandoned by the Beast God; she was just an orc who was specially marked!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately opened the system map and started searching.
Daman looked up at the thin female in front of him with tears in his eyes, his gratitude overflowing.
After the cub was born, although the tribespeople didn't say anything because of her status as the leader, she knew that they talked about their child differently in private.
She knew that children with skin like that couldn't survive in the jungle, but even if they were beastmen abandoned by the Beast God, she was willing to raise them, rather than heartlessly abandoning them like other tribes.
Hearing this female say that her child wasn't abandoned by the Beast God, but was specially marked, she felt a surge of excitement and gratitude.
At this point, Zhi had already divined the outcome. He frowned as he looked at the result and said, "The cub is in the east and is still alive, but the result is not good."
Ruan Mianmian heard Zhi's voice and began to narrow down her search on the map to the east.
Upon hearing the shaman's divination, Daman immediately stood up and said she would go out to search, and her people also stood up.
"Going out blindly like this is just suicide! A blizzard is coming soon, and the cubs will die if they can't find you!"
Seeing their expressions, Yong shouted anxiously.
Daman stopped and turned to look at Yong, her eyes firm and determined. "That's better than sitting here! Even if it's just a corpse, I will find my child!"
"Found it!" Ruan Mianmian said excitedly, looking at the faintly flashing elephant icon on the screen.
The elephants stared at Ruan Mianmian in astonishment, unsure whether it was true or not.
"Haha, Daman, our leader is a goddess. If she says she's found it, then she's found it. Let's hurry and go find the cub!" Yong said happily to Daman and the elephant-tribe beastmen.
In his view, there was nothing the goddess couldn't do; if the goddess said she had found it, then there was definitely no problem.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll go change my clothes and be right back. You won't be able to find that place, so I'll have to lead the way. It's about a forty-minute drive from the valley, and the blizzard is coming in two hours, so we'll make it!"
After saying that, Ruan Mianmian ran back to her tent to change into her thickest down jacket.
They must find the cubs as soon as possible before the blizzard arrives, or it will be too late...
