Chapter 109 The Wolf Clan Departs
Chapter 109 The Wolf Clan Departs
After spending one night in the eastern tribe, the wolf-kin beastmen prepared to return to their wolf clan.
Because of their help, Ruan Mianmian generously gave them a return gift.
The wolf pack is on the other side of the valley, near the edge of the grassland, where the most common animals are sheep.
Although they also hunt other animals, they mainly hunt bleats.
Last night, during a barbecue, Ruan Mianmian saw that they were enjoying the Hum Hum Beasts and Moo Moo Beasts, so she generously gave them ten of each to take home and eat.
Ruan Mianmian sewed a large animal skin bag and filled it with potatoes.
These potatoes are for the wolf king to take back to Miyue and her group of females; they should like them very much.
The wolves came to help this time, but there was a certain risk for their males to come out.
Although they weren't injured this time, if it weren't for Ruan Mianmian's strength, there would definitely have been deaths.
Because the wolf clan knew there was danger or even a high chance of death, yet they still came to help them without hesitation, Ruan Mianmian and the Eastern Tribe should remember this kindness.
Besides these, Ruan Mianmian also specially bought a lot of steamed buns from the system store for them to take back and eat. These are the only rare things she has now, and she doesn't plan to take out anything more special.
The wolf king and the wolf clan's orcs stared wide-eyed at the huge pile of food on the ground; it was simply too much.
That much meat is enough for them to take back.
“Goddess, our help this time was as we agreed beforehand. There’s really no need to bring us so much food. It’s winter now, and although there aren’t many beastmen in the Eastern tribes, food is still very scarce. Please leave these prey for you to eat!”
The Wolf King finally understood the distribution of members in the Eastern Tribe.
To be honest, he still admired Sen and Yu.
Yesterday, I learned about the origin of this tribe from Zhi. It can be said that the Eastern tribe was pieced together from different kinds of small beastmen.
The entire tribe is guarded by only a few powerful orcs. If something really happens, they could be wiped out at any time.
In yesterday's situation, if the goddess hadn't been there, the leopard clan would definitely have been wiped out.
Fortunately, the goddess chased after them and dealt with them, otherwise they would have become a major hidden danger in the future.
Ruan Mianmian heard the wolf king's refusal and said with a smile, "Take what I give you. Since I can afford to give, I definitely have enough. We don't lack food. You've seen our environment. To be honest, this winter will definitely be easier."
Upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, the wolf-like beastmen all nodded in agreement.
We are all orcs, and none of us have ever experienced what we enjoyed in the Eastern Tribe last night.
If it weren't for the fact that they still had a family in the wolf tribe, they really wouldn't want to leave.
Having said all that, the Wolf King laughed heartily: "Since the goddess has said so, then we'll shamelessly accept it all. Anyway, we wolf clans will need it in the future."
The wolf king's reply was cryptic; it was unclear whether he said it intentionally or unintentionally.
Ruan Mianmian smiled and nodded after hearing this. In her opinion, this was what they deserved, and these things were indeed easy for her to come up with.
Just as they finished their conversation, a series of wolf howls suddenly rang out from the entrance of the valley.
Everyone was startled and turned to look, only to see a group of agile figures rapidly approaching them.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Jin had brought Mimi back!
Yesterday, the Wolf King explained in detail why Mimi was unable to return with them.
It turns out that Mi had recently advanced to a higher level, but as she was just entering a new realm, she was still unable to accurately estimate and control the superpowers she possessed.
When he arrived at the wolf pack, he was so exhausted from overexertion that he could barely move.
The wolf king believed that his current condition might slow down the team's progress, so he decided to let him stay in the wolf clan to rest and recuperate, while the other members would go ahead to provide assistance.
Last night, after Jin returned to the wolf clan and recounted the fierce battle, Mi, who had been peacefully recuperating, became restless and eager to return to the valley immediately.
However, Jin knew that Mi was not fully recovered at this time, and tried his best to dissuade it from acting impulsively.
After much earnest persuasion, Mi finally reluctantly agreed to wait until this morning to return to the valley with Jin.
At that moment, as the familiar cry reached their ears, the Wolf King and many of the wolf clan's orcs began to move.
They swiftly transformed into majestic beast forms, their strong, powerful limbs firmly supporting their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, each orc nimbly snatched up a plump prey.
The wolf king charged ahead, leading the orcs slowly toward the entrance of the valley.
His majestic figure flashed like lightning through the mountains and forests, followed closely by other orcs, forming a powerful and imposing procession.
Ruan Mianmian and the little beastmen stood still and watched this scene quietly.
And so, in the silence, the wolf king led his wolf clan of beastmen further and further away, until they finally disappeared at the entrance of the valley.
Mi ran towards the cave and got excited when she saw Ruan Mianmian and the others.
"Chief, I'm sorry I couldn't get back in time yesterday!"
Looking at Mimi, who had just come of age, Ruan Mianmian smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You did a great job on your mission. Thanks to your timely message, our tribe was ultimately saved. Mimi, thank you for your contribution to the tribe!"
Ruan Mianmian had her own judgment. In yesterday's situation, even if Mi rushed back, it would only be for the leopard clan to practice on.
His true form is a desert cat, small in size but fast. In her opinion, as long as he fulfills his role, there's no need for him to come back to his death.
If she didn't have the system, everyone would have died in yesterday's situation, and Mi's return would just be adding another corpse to the list.
Mi dragged his exhausted body back to the cave. As he stepped inside, he immediately saw his companions, Sen, Mengban, and others, lying quietly on the simple earthen bed.
Seeing this scene, his heart felt as if it had been gripped by an invisible hand, the pain making it almost impossible for him to breathe, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He silently walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looked at the shocking wounds on their bodies, and was filled with self-blame and guilt.
If I had run a little faster and moved a little more nimbly, perhaps everyone wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries.
This thought clung to him like a venomous snake, plunging him into deep self-doubt.
Just then, Sen, as if seeing through Mi's thoughts, comforted her with a firm voice despite his own pain: "Mi, don't blame yourself. You've done a great job, buying us precious time and helping us a lot! Every orc has their own mission, and we can't always dwell on past failures. As long as you train hard and continuously improve your abilities, you can contribute more to the tribe. Remember, only when we become strong enough will other tribes not dare to easily invade us."
Although Sen's words were gentle, they were like a ray of bright sunlight piercing through the gloom in Mi's heart, planting a seed of hope deep within him.
At the same time, this seed also took root and sprouted in the hearts of other beastmen.
After this experience, all the orcs in the Eastern tribes realized the importance of strength.
Whether they were young and strong warriors or young orcs who had not yet reached adulthood, everyone began to actively engage in self-strengthening training.
For these orcs, nothing was more important at this moment than protecting their beloved leader, Ruan Mianmian, and the tribe they lived with.
This strong belief burns in everyone's heart, converging into an indestructible force.
This very strength has become the driving force behind their continuous progress and hard work, and has laid an incredibly solid foundation for them to withstand any potential crises in the future.
