Chapter 523 - 522, Complete_1
At this time, the Watson Tribe was increasingly affected by the earthquakes triggered by the collapse of the Eneru Mountain Range. The vibrations had even reached the plain, causing fissures to appear at the edge of the forest near the plain.
The trio of beasts from the Monte only had a temporary stay in the Watson Tribe. The tremors, which had terrified them for a month, ended as swiftly as they had started. The occurrence of the earthquakes gradually decreased and the tremors also weakened.
The Dashi Tribe and the Gray Bear Tribe had set up tents under the city walls of the Watson Tribe, forming a large camp area.
In front of the campsites of the two tribes was a wide and deep moat without water. The Winged Orcs had dug it together after finding traces of fierce beasts in the forest. As expected, it had stopped numerous beast attacks on the two tribes and yielded a fair amount of food.
One week after the last earthquake, Meng Tai, accompanied by Xiu Yan, Ji Nuan, and Ya Li, embarked on the journey back to their respective tribes.
This time, however, they did not take the perilous route across the river but directly traversed through the forest, heading towards the Monte Tribe.
The once lush forest was now a wreck. Toppled trees and uprooted shrubs littered the place, with many animal carcasses strewn on the ground. It completely deviated from its former splendor.
"The forest has turned into this..." Meng Tai muttered, his worry intensifying.
Ya Li patted his shoulder and said, "Don’t worry. You all had already detected the signs of earthquakes earlier on. Chief Meng Zhuo is very capable. He must have already reached a safe place."
Meng Tai forced a smile, but his worries hadn’t lessened at all. He only found out after coming to the Eneru Forest that the caves they had always regarded as the safest were actually the most dangerous places. With the thought of their tribesmen running towards caves in the face of danger, his heart sank even more.
After running at an accelerated pace for three days, they finally reached the foot of what used to be part of the Eneru Mountain Range. Now, there were only a series of small hills left, with trees fallen haphazardly all over them.
They continued running towards the Lamu Mountain Forest as directed by Meng Tai. A wide road composed entirely of mountain stones lay between the two forests. Standing at the edge of the Eneru Forest, one could only faintly see the greenery of the forest on the other side.
"The forest over there is the Lamu Forest!" Ji Nuan was somewhat excited. This would be her first time venturing out of the Eneru Forest into other mountain forests after coming to the Beast World Continent. She couldn’t help but wonder about the marvels that awaited her there.
Seeing the gleam in Ji Nuan’s eyes, a faint smile appeared in Xiu Yan’s eyes. He looked toward the forest on the other side, also filled with anticipation.
Ya Li, excited, rubbed his hands together and said, "Let’s go, as long as it’s still day, we..."
"Meow meow meow! Meow~~~" The kitten-like meow of a Cat Beast interrupted Ya Li’s words.
Ya Li looked around stiffly, "The earthquake just ended not long ago, there shouldn’t be any Cat Beasts around, should there?"
Then, with a pleading look in his eyes, he turned to the indifferent-looking Xiu Yan, "Help me look. Why do I feel like it’s behind me?"
Seeing the Malicious Snake Beast still fearful of cats as always, Ji Nuan couldn’t help pointing to his back while holding back her laughter, "It’s lying on your back."
