Torrential rain fell in the gloomy sky, and the muddy road made it difficult for the troops to move forward, and everyone could only stop and rest temporarily. Fortunately, there are many spacious caves on this peak, enough for everyone to shelter from the rain.

Gerald and many of the little orcs had their hair soaked all over their bodies, and the orcs raised a campfire, and everyone sat by the fire and cooked silently. At this time, even the most squeamish Asian beast did not complain about the surrounding environment, and there was a low and depressed atmosphere in the cave.

The cave was extraordinarily quiet, and the sound of raindrops hitting the ground outside the cave was clear. Suddenly, there was a deafening sound, which almost drowned out all the rain. Everyone looked at each other, and there was a sense of ominous in their hearts.

An orc with the fastest response rushed out first, and after a while, his terrified shout came from the entrance of the cave: “The flood is coming! The flood is coming!!!”

They had never seen such a situation before. The turbulent water rushed to the front of the hill in a blink of an eye and surrounded the whole hill. The huge momentum swept away the solid rock, and the slightly fragile rock was directly split from the middle by the water! Large swathes of rocks slid down into the running water, like a fish fixed on a chopping board, and could only struggle under the butcher’s knife in vain, watching as his scales were chipped off bit by bit.

The water is rising higher and higher, like an insatiable gluttonous gluttony, nibbling away at the small mountain. But for a moment, the entire hill fell into a vast ocean and disappeared.

If people don’t know that there is a place where they once lived, I am afraid that there is a river there.

“Huaaaa…”, someone couldn’t help crying.

“My home!”

“No, no, no more!”

“The wise men and the elders are still there! The flood is so big, what can they do!”

“Lord Beast God, open your eyes and take a look! You save us, save your believers!”

One after another, the sound of crying resounded throughout the mountain.

Before, under the protection of the Beast God, they had never encountered such a large-scale natural disaster. But now, years of natural disasters are almost completely crushing them.

“Lord Beast God, Lord Beast God!” Someone shouted desperately, but no one answered.

Even Gerald couldn’t help tugging at Claire’s sleeves – Pascal, he hasn’t come back yet.

“Don’t worry, Lord Pascal… He will be fine.” Claire’s voice was dry and lacking in confidence. Obviously, she was not very sure about Pascal’s safety. She forced herself to calm down and comforted Gerald, just instinctively.

Gerald’s face paled a little: “I-I didn’t worry about him!” That guy who holds grudges, it’s best if he doesn’t come back! That way he won’t be used as a reserve grain!

But somehow, the thought that Pascal might not come back made Gerald feel a little sad again. He didn’t have the urge to cry, he just felt stuffy in his heart and was overwhelmed by some kind of heavy emotion. Fragments of him and Pascal’s time together kept popping up in his mind, disturbing him. He wanted to drive these pictures out of his mind, but it had the opposite effect, more and more complicated memory fragments kept pouring into his mind.

He is so bad and so cunning, he will definitely not die in the flood easily! And he’s still an Elementalist!
