Doomsday Code

Chapter 854 Orcs

The North, the Far North.

Here is an endless glacier that stretches as far as the eye can see, and all you see here is white.

And at the end of this endless white world, a towering white dragon of unknown height sits there, directly dividing this world of ice and snow into two halves.

To the north is an even colder and more brutal land, and in this desolate land, countless caves have been carved out under the frozen soil that has not melted for millions of years.

And in these caves, the wild beastmen who were driven out by Thorn Flower I live here.

"Mother, I'm so cold."

A four or five-year-old orc child curled up in the cave and said to his mother that he was cold.

Beside this child, a burly bear mother picked him up and then hugged the bear child tightly with her thick bear paws.

"You won't be cold if your mother holds you. Your father has gone out to collect flint. We'll have fire soon."

Although the bear mother said she wasn't cold, her body was trembling slightly.

There are many barbarian orc families like this bear mother. In this far north where the temperature is minus fifty degrees Celsius all year round, heat source is undoubtedly a vital resource for their survival.

So many times, what the orc families have to do is not to find food, but to find a source of heat.

The stones blocking the cave were knocked at an agreed frequency. When the bear man's mother heard the sound, she knew that her husband had returned.

"Dad, are you back?"

The bear man's mother did not rush to open the cave, but asked.

Then I heard a bear roar outside.

Hearing this voice, the mother bear felt relieved.

Holding her child, she carefully moved the large rock that blocked the cave entrance. Soon, a father bear that was more than twice her size came in from outside.

Father Bear blocked the entrance of the cave again, and then took down the bearskin sack he was carrying on his back.

With a crash, two piles of coal ore as big as small mountains appeared in front of the bear mother.

Seeing the two piles of coarse coal, the mother bear howled with joy, and then gave the father bear a kiss on the face.

The bear father would just smile foolishly and then howl twice.

The mother bear handed the baby in her arms to the father bear and said:

"You hold the child while I wash the flint."

"father."

The naughty kid called out "Dad" and then continued to curl up in his arms.

When Mr. Bear heard the child calling him dad, he roared with joy.

And I haven't heard Bear Father speak for such a long time. It is obvious that Bear Father is a bear-man who can't speak.

It is not surprising that this situation occurs, because the place where they live is too cold and harsh, so there are naturally not so many requirements for marriage, and marriages between close relatives will of course exist.

There are many products of close-kin marriages like Xiong's father, but fortunately he is one of the luckier ones, he just can't speak.

Some tragic orc tribes were directly wiped out because of inbreeding.

"Okay, stop being silly. I'm going out to wash the flint. I'll cook for you two when I come back."

Just as the mother bear was about to go out, the father bear roared a few more times. When the mother bear heard it, the happy expression on her face dimmed.

"Dad, the child is still so young, don't go with them.

Every year the tribe leader gathers people, but you see, they have never succeeded. Those humans are too strong. We should just live our own lives here and raise our children."

After hearing this, the father bear roared twice, and the mother bear said with tears in her eyes:

"I know that my parents died at the hands of those humans, but you have to think about the child too."

As she spoke, the mother bear hugged the father bear and started crying.

The father bear did not blame the mother bear for forgetting her hatred. Instead, he stroked her head and roared:

"The flint is almost dry. We must cross that wall, otherwise we will all freeze to death here in a few years."

The mother bear understood the father bear's roar, and now she could only cry.

There are many families like theirs. It can be said that every family in the cave is now filled with crying.

"Mom, I'm so cold. I want fire."

The child's words brought the mother bear back to her senses from her sorrow. She wiped her tears and said:

"Mom will go wash the flint now, and we'll have fire soon."

After saying that, she took the flint and went out.

Walking through the narrow cave, there were many orcs like her who came out to wash flint.

When they reached the glacier, they all lay on their backs, kicked their legs, and began to slide quickly.

By sliding in this way, they quickly arrived at the North Sea ice cave.

Break the frozen ice into pieces, crush the flint with your hands, and then start washing it.

The black flint was washed to remove most of the impurities, leaving behind the more refined essence.

During the panning process, these orcs chatted with each other, and the conversation turned to the upcoming war.

There was no joy on the faces of any of the orcs.

Looking up, they could see the huge city wall that had imprisoned them for a thousand years. Over the past thousand years, countless brave and fearless warriors of the Orc tribe had died under that city.

But for thousands of years, it still stands there intact.

I don't know who cursed "damn humans", but soon the orcs began to criticize humans, and also said that they would eat people if they broke through the Great Wall.

The mother bear didn't argue with them here. All she wanted now was that she and the father bear could raise her bear child to adulthood.

At this moment, the ice surface they were standing on suddenly cracked with a crackling sound, and the mother bear smelled a fishy smell.

She then picked up her flint and began skating backwards, shouting:

"The deep-sea demon shark is coming, get off the ice quickly."

Hearing the sound of the ice cracking, many orcs began to slide and retreat like her.

The next moment, with a bang, the ice surface was broken from the bottom, and the lifted ice blocks fell like raindrops. At the same time, many orcs who had no time to retreat were directly eaten by the fish.

After gliding away from the sea, the orcs stopped. Then all the orcs put down the flints in their hands and began to form an attack formation and pounced on the deep-sea demon shark.

The battle between the orcs and the deep-sea sharks broke out in an instant and quickly became intense.

This deep-sea demon shark is so huge that the orcs left here are simply not strong enough to deal with it.

So soon some orcs began to choose to go back and call for help.

The remaining orcs held back the Demon Shark and prevented him from leaving.

This is not to say that all orcs are fierce, but because if they do not kill this demon shark, the sea area where they live will become a paradise for the demon sharks.

The food of their tribe comes from this sea area, so for the sake of food, they cannot let this demon shark leave like this.

Soon the orc who went back to notify came gliding over with the powerful orcs in the tribe.

And Xiong's father was also among them.

After the support arrived, the orcs fought even more frantically. It can be said that the orcs' fighting was characterized by recklessness. They used a large number of orcs to kill the demon shark.

Although the demon shark was killed in the end, no less than a thousand orcs were killed or injured.

Seeing this result, the mother bear became even more worried about the upcoming war against humans.
