Chapter 22: It's Fate After All
When Sang Luo returned to the former site of the Kordo tribe, the place had already turned into a ruin and all the houses and buildings had collapsed. If she had not found the standing stone tablet under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, she would have almost lost the chance to find the place.

Everyone had already run away.

Sang Luo stayed in the ruins for half a day, and in the afternoon he went to another forest along the direction in which the tribal orcs had fled before. Seeing that it was getting late, he wanted to find a nearby tribe to rest.

These few days have been rare warm days in the cold season. The snow on the dirt road has melted into broken ice, and the ice in some small rivers has also melted.

Sang Luo walked to the river, squatted down, scooped up a handful of icy river water with both hands and splashed it on her face to wash off the powder on her face.

I also threw away my wig because it was too stuffy to wear.

“Luo, Luoluo…is that you?”

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Sang Luo looked back and saw a slightly shorter and more delicate female on the other side of the river staring at her. She had a piece of animal fur wrapped on her head, covering half of her face, and it was tied several times around her neck to keep out the cold.

"Li Man, long time no see." Sang Luo said with a friendly smile.

Li Man came up quickly, carrying a bamboo basket, her eyes red. "I...I thought I was seeing things, it's really you! You're still alive!"

The female in front of him had beautiful black hair, delicate skin, a healthy and rosy complexion, and a radiant look. She was even more beautiful than before she left! It was obvious that she had been well-fed in the past half month. Sang Luo was wearing a valuable silk material. When she stood there just now, Li Man thought she had seen a goddess by the river and was stunned!
"You were taken away by that stray beast, and we all thought you were dead." Li Man walked up quickly, held her hand, and tears kept flowing down.

Anubia was regarded as a stray animal by them. Indeed, this kind of behavior of snatching females was usually a dirty thing that only stray animals could do.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Later I met a noble man who helped me escape." Sang Luo smiled, but didn't mean to explain. He looked at the tiger orcs who came behind Li Man and asked, "Which new tribe have you joined?"

She had never seen this male beast before. It was level four and quite powerful. It seemed that Li Man had collected it in the new tribe.

Generally, when large tribes take in females from other tribes, they must allow them to pair up with at least one male from their own tribe before they can enjoy the protection of the tribe.

"Most of the orcs in the Koldo tribe died in that beast tide. We really had no choice but to join the Thousand Elephant Tribe for shelter. The Thousand Elephant Tribe is a large tribe. The tribe leader is a seventh-level elephant, very powerful! There are many good things in the tribe that we have never seen before! Which tribe are you living in now, Luoluo? Do you want to stay too?"

Sang Luo shook his head and smiled, "I came back this time just to take a look and ask you one thing... Has Lan Cang ever come back to look for you?"

Li Man nodded excitedly and said, "We all thought he was dead, but he was found a few days later. The tribe was migrating at the time, and he was very worried when he saw you were gone. He asked many people about your whereabouts, but you...well, the tribe leader told him that you were dead. Lan Cang was very distraught at the time, and later, he didn't stay and left."

"Do you know where he went?"

Li Man shook her head. "I'm not too sure about this, but I heard the conversation between the old chief and him. Lan Cang seems to be an orc from the Western Continent. He has no ties to the Koldo Tribe anymore, so he should have returned to the Western Continent."

Sang Luo found a world map in Caesar's study. The Alans Empire occupied nearly half of the territory of the Western Continent. In addition, there were independent forces from all sides in the Western Continent. Dozens of forces were mixed together, and they divided the land to become kings... Not to mention, the area of ​​the Western Continent alone was larger than that of the Earth!

Trying to find him for a reunion is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Sang Luo sighed. It seemed that she and this man were not destined to be together.

However, it is enough to know that Lan Cang is still alive.

The pain of losing his wife will fade away after a while. With his ability, he can find a second love and have a litter of cubs. It's time for her to let it go.

"It's getting late. I want to stay in the tribe for one night. Is that convenient?"

"That's convenient. I'll take you there! Doji and the others will be very happy to see you come back alive!"

Although Sang Luo is a female from another tribe, females are precious resources for the entire animal world, and she is someone Li Man and the others know. The chief of the Qianxiang tribe is also very friendly. He specially asked someone to vacate an empty room for her to live in, and said that it’s okay for her to stay for a few more days.

The subtext, of course, is that it doesn't matter if you live there for the rest of your life.

In the middle of the night, Sang Luo was awakened by the noise outside.

She got dressed and went out. All the females and cubs gathered in the tribal square, and everyone's face looked serious, solemn and urgent!
After Sang Luo asked around, he found out that there was another tide of beasts outside.

...I really don't feel safe anywhere.

Fortunately, the scale of this beast tide is much smaller than the last time. The Thousand Elephant Tribe is a large tribe with a population of over ten thousand, and there are many high-level orc warriors. It is not a problem to resist this beast tide, but some manpower will be lost.

An orc came running over.
"Oh no! Call the witch doctor! Komu's leg was bitten off while trying to save Aya!"

Outside the tribe, most of the beast tide was repelled, and Aya hugged Kemu and cried bitterly.

"Don't cry... As a partner... I can exchange my life for yours, I'm... very satisfied..."

Kemu reached out and wiped away the tears on Aya's face, his face full of happiness, "Aya, I know that I am not your best choice, you don't like me... but, you know... I, I really like you. When I was very young, I came to the Koldo tribe and saw you for the first time, and I fell in love with you... It's a pity that you can't see me... Even the partner was my insistence, and you accepted me under pressure..."

"If I was stronger back then, I would have been the one who saved you. Maybe you would have fallen in love with me at first sight..." Kemu said, coughing up blood several times, his voice getting weaker and weaker, "You see, I can save you, and I can also die for you..."

"Stop talking. I don't dislike you. I, I like you too..." At this moment, Aya completely accepted Kemu in her heart, but it was too late. She burst into tears, "You must survive. I will give birth to a litter of little fox cubs for you..."

When Sang Luo arrived with the tribal witch doctor, Kemu had completely fainted and was dying. A bloody broken leg was right next to him. The scene was a bit nauseating.

In addition to a broken leg, Kemu also had multiple serious injuries. One bite wound went through his abdomen, and most of his internal organs were probably bleeding profusely.

Several orcs carried Kemu into the house. The witch doctor crushed a lot of unknown medicinal herbs into juice, stuffed it into the wound, wrapped it with the herbal juice, and used white cloth to cover the broken leg.

This treatment method is too primitive and crude...

Looking at the sad expressions of the other people in the room, he knew it was useless. Whether Kemu could survive depended entirely on God.

Sang Luo shook his head and sighed. This level of injury could probably be treated in the urban area of ​​the Western Continent, but it would be difficult given the tribe's medical conditions.

Even if they are rescued, the leg is probably useless. A male with a broken leg cannot hunt and earn money, and will be reduced to the lowest level of disabled people, abandoned by females and the tribe. It won't be long before he dies of depression.

"Let me try." Sang Luo walked forward and spoke. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but it was a life after all. Kemu and Lan Cang had a good relationship. They were brothers who had been through life and death together. She couldn't just sit back and watch.

　There will be another update in a while!
