Closing her eyes, the familiar dizziness came again. This time, Jiujiu entered a world she had never entered before, the Beast World.
In the Beast World, there were no males or females, only males and females. There were no four seasons here, only a dry season and a rainy season.
During the dry season, there was no rain and the temperature was mild. It was more suitable for hunting. During the rainy season, there would be continuous rain and there might even be natural disasters such as floods. She had to stay in the cave halfway up the mountain until the dry season came.
Although the dry season lasted for eight months and the rainy season only lasted for four months, the arrival of the rainy season meant that there was no way to continue hunting. Not being able to hunt meant that they had to starve.
Orcs relied on hunting for a living. Once they were hungry, it meant that their bodies were weak. Even if they could survive the long rainy season, when the dry season came, they would not have enough strength. They would not be able to hunt for enough food. What awaited them was still a dead end.
Every year, countless Orcs died of starvation.
Jiujiu's quest target was the beastmen's priest, Shan Mu. She hoped that Jiujiu could lead the beastmen to the light.
That way, every orc would be able to fill their stomachs so that they wouldn't starve to death in the caves during the rainy season.
When Jiujiu opened her eyes, the sky was slightly bright. Her nose was filled with the smell of rotting flesh. It seemed that someone had noticed that Jiujiu had woken up. Immediately, someone stuffed a small piece of meat into Jiujiu's mouth and whispered, "Lord Priest, please don't dislike it. This is the last of the food."
Jiujiu lowered her head and looked at the man's palm. The piece of meat was only the size of a finger. Because it had been there for a long time, it had seriously deteriorated. It emitted a rotten smell mixed with a sour smell. Jiujiu couldn't help but retch.
This body seemed to have not eaten for a long time. Jiujiu retched for a long time, but didn't even spit out bile.
When Jiujiu began retching, the orc who had fed Jiujiu used his broad and warm palm to pat Jiujiu's back to make her feel better. When Jiujiu stopped retching, he opened his mouth and said in a low voice with a special rhythm, "Lord Priest, please don't dislike it. This is the last of the food."
When he said the last two words, the orc's mouth showed a bitter smile.
Priests were the most sacred existence in the orc tribe, but now they had to rely on rotten meat to survive. Not to mention Jiujiu, even he felt ashamed. However, there were still three days before the end of the rainy season. Everything that could be eaten had already been eaten. The orcs who hadn't starved to death were lying in the cave to save their strength. Although Jiujiu was a priest, she could only starve like the other orcs without food. Even this piece of meat was obtained by Sha Qing after asking the entire tribe.
Jiujiu looked up at the orc who had handed her the piece of meat. After thinking for a long time, she thought of the name Sha Qing in her mind.
Sha Qing's original form was a goshawk. For generations, he had been a priest's guard. Even though Jiujiu was still young and couldn't show the skills of a priest, he still dutifully took care of Jiujiu. If it weren't for Sha Qing, Shanmu wouldn't have survived this rainy season.
When Sha Qing was at his largest, his wingspan was five meters. However, because of the lack of food during the rainy season, and because Jiujiu was growing, in order to take care of Jiujiu and not let her starve, Sha Qing gave most of his rations to Jiujiu. He only had a small piece of meat every day to maintain his daily physiological needs. Because of the lack of food, Sha Qing's originally strong body became particularly thin. His muscles had shrunk into small balls, and he no longer had the explosive power he used to have.
Even if he could survive this rainy season, when the dry season came, Sha Qing was afraid that he wouldn't have enough strength to hunt for food. Before the next rainy season came, he wouldn't be able to store enough food. In the end, he wouldn't be able to escape death.
Looking at the piece of meat in Sha Qing's hand that had begun to rot, Jiujiu once again had a deep understanding of the orc's life. She sighed softly and sent the small piece of meat to Sha Qing's mouth, "You eat it."
However, even though Jiujiu personally delivered the piece of meat to Sha Qing's mouth, Sha Qing still shook his head gently. He held Jiujiu's hand and took the piece of meat. Then he said gently, "Priest, you are related to the fate of the orc race. You should eat it."
Speaking until here, Sha Qing couldn't help but sigh. He was useless. If he was stronger, if he could catch more prey, the priest wouldn't have to eat such a small piece of rotten meat.
When he thought of the holy priest eating rotten meat, Sha Qing couldn't help but want to slap himself.
Jiujiu couldn't eat the piece of meat. Seeing that Sha Qing didn't want to eat it, she put the piece of meat aside and stood up to walk out of the cave.
Seeing this, Sha Qing quickly followed behind Jiujiu.
When the rainy season came, the beastmen would live in caves that they dug themselves halfway up the mountain. Curtains made of animal skin were hung at the entrance of the cave to distinguish each person's territory. The place where Jiujiu came out was the main road. Looking up, many of the curtains that were hung at the entrance of the cave that Shan Mu remembered were gone.
The curtains were gone, which meant that the owner of the cave was gone.
Before the rainy season came, the cave was full of people, but now it was less than half.
Jiujiu's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but shed tears. This was Shan Mu's remaining feelings. She was a priest of the orc race and enjoyed the worship of the orcs. But at the same time, she also cared about all the orcs. Now that so many orcs were gone, how could she not be sad?
Sha Qing quietly walked behind Jiujiu. He raised his hand and gently put it on Jiujiu's shoulder. He softly comforted her, "Priest, this is not your fault."
