Chapter 416 Saving Lives
The heavy snow, like a colossal white beast, swept in with unpredictable ferocity, falling wildly for three days and three nights before reluctantly halting its rampage.
The once spacious cave entrance is now completely buried by thick snow. Even the ventilation holes located above the cave, which are usually used for ventilation, have not been spared and are also completely blocked by snow.
Fortunately, the cave was ingeniously designed, with a double-sided opening mechanism. When everyone realized the situation was dire, Meng and his orc companions didn't hesitate to use all their strength to push the door open.
After a lot of hard work, accompanied by a low thud, the door finally opened slowly.
However, the sight that appeared before everyone made them gasp – because the snow was so thick, a towering, thick snow wall stood at the entrance to the cave!
The snow wall was like an impregnable fortress, blocking everyone's way.
For other tribes, such a heavy snowfall would undoubtedly be a heavy burden and a hindrance. But for the beastmen of the eastern tribes, this snowfall was a precious gift from heaven, filling them with excitement.
What seemed like a difficult problem to others became a bargaining chip for them to obtain valuable supplies.
They knew that their tribal leader possessed extraordinary wisdom and skill, and could cleverly utilize these ice and snow resources to obtain more of what they needed.
As the gate swung open, the vast expanse of white snow outside came into view. Upon seeing this, the orcs immediately sprang into action.
They all bent down and quickly compacted the snow into round snowballs. Ruan Mianmian stood aside, methodically collecting the snowballs one by one, preparing to exchange them for supplies.
Time passed slowly, and after about half an hour, with the combined efforts of all the orcs, the seemingly impenetrable snow wall was finally hollowed out. Fresh, cold air rushed into the cave like a clear spring, making everyone feel refreshed.
Little Jin and Little Red excitedly led a large group of little beastmen out like wild horses.
You see, in the past few days, the heavy snow and biting winds have been like shackles that have kept these little guys stuck in the cave.
Although Xiao Jin and Xiao Hong are still young, due to their genetic inheritance and innate racial advantages, both adult beastmen and young beastmen of similar age hold them in deep awe.
In particular, the young orcs in the tribe, regardless of age, have secretly come to regard Xiao Jin and Xiao Hong as their leaders.
At this very moment, Xiao Jin and Xiao Hong are leading this group of extremely excited little beastmen to play and frolic outside the cave, and the scene is quite lively!
Ruan Mianmian, who was standing not far away and saw this scene, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, the other orcs in the tribe also emerged from the cave. Some wanted to get some fresh air and feel the long-lost freedom; others were simply eager to relieve themselves—the so-called "relieving themselves."
Mao and Yong quickly assembled a patrol team to inspect the surrounding area in case any potential dangers were approaching.
Meanwhile, Sen spread his wings, preparing to circle once over the vast plains.
After all, with his astonishing flight speed, it would be incredibly easy for him to quickly investigate whether this extremely rare heavy snowfall had brought any unknown potential dangers to this vast land.
"Sen, don't go too far! Remember to come back soon, we're having a hot pot lunch today!" Ruan Mianmian hurriedly called out to Sen as he was about to take flight.
"Okay, Ruanruan! I'll just wander around the area for a bit and I'll be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sen spread his wings and sped away like a bolt of lightning, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Upon hearing that they would be having a delicious hot pot lunch, the females became so excited that they busied themselves with preparations.
Nowadays, most of the tribe's complicated and trivial cooking tasks have been handed over to these females to handle.
They were once like delicate and fragile dodder flowers, always needing the care and attention of strong and mighty beastmen; however, since consuming the miraculous "miracle" bestowed by Ruan Mianmian, their physical condition and mental state have undergone tremendous changes.
Even more unexpectedly, many females miraculously awakened all sorts of unique superpowers, just like Daman. Such a wonderful transformation truly delighted and amazed everyone.
The tribe is busy preparing hot pot. Because there are many babies and the weather is cold, the tribe has been cooking bone broth for everyone since last winter, so there is no shortage of bone broth.
Ruan Mianmian then brought out a lot of fish and shrimp for everyone to prepare, along with potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other foods as side dishes. Under these conditions, these things could be considered a sufficient preparation.
Orcs especially love to eat meat, such as deer meat, humming beast meat, wild beef, fish meat... there are countless kinds of meat.
The orcs of the Eastern tribes dare to say that when it comes to meat consumption on the plains, no one dares to claim to be number one!
Just as everyone was happily preparing to eat hot pot, Sen returned.
As soon as he entered the cave, he found Zhi and the others with a grim face, and said, "Something has happened. The lion clan was buried alive when the cave collapsed, and their fate is unknown. The gorilla tribe, on the other hand, escaped because they like to live in trees."
Sen's words caused an uproar among the entire tribe.
"No, we have to go and see, maybe there's still a glimmer of hope!" Ruan Mianmian immediately stood up, preparing to go to the Lion Clan tribe herself.
