HCB Chapter 298 Preparing for the Trip
Chapter 298 Preparing for the Trip
As the weather gradually warmed up and the sunshine became increasingly warm and pleasant, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but feel the urge to go for a stroll and explore the area.
When she first arrived in this place, it was early autumn.
At that time, she was a newcomer to this unfamiliar world, filled with fear and unease.
In those first few days of fear and trepidation, she could only rely on herself to survive.
Fortunately, she was later discovered by Sen and taken back to the tribe, but even so, she still seemed timid and hesitant when facing new environments and new companions.
However, fate did not seem to intend for her to have an easy life.
Before long, winter quietly arrived, and it was the coldest period of the year.
The biting wind howled and swept across the land, and the thick snow made it difficult to move. She was unable to go out and was trapped in the tribe.
That period was undoubtedly a torment for Ruan Mianmian, who was naturally lively and active.
Now, we've finally had this rare good weather, and the temperature is gradually rising.
Ruan Mianmian couldn't wait to leave the tribe, to travel around and properly appreciate the scenery of this vast plain.
Of course, if she happens to come across some useful resources along the way, such as precious herbs or delicious fruits, she will not miss them and will definitely bring them back to the tribe to share with everyone.
That very evening, the tribe held an important meeting.
When Ruan Mianmian told everyone about her plan to go out and explore, most of the orcs in the tribe showed a hint of unease on their faces.
One of the orcs asked worriedly, "Chief, is this trip just a short trip of a few days, or are you planning to stay for a long time?"
Another orc chimed in, "Yes, Chief! Ever since you came to the tribe, you have been the one who has taken such good care of everyone's lives. We really don't know what we would do without you."
Another orc said earnestly, "Chief, our tribe absolutely cannot do without your wise leadership!"
Even the females in the tribe looked anxious and uneasy.
It was the chief who made them understand that females are not just parasites in the tribe, but can also achieve great things.
The females in the tribe are busy contributing their strength every day, isn't it all so that they can stay by the chief's side and learn better?
What will happen to them if the leader goes on a journey?
Meanwhile, the little creatures inside the cave all looked worried.
When the leader is around, he will often cook some good food. But if the leader is not around, who will cook delicious food for them?
……
Looking at the worried expressions on the faces of her people, Ruan Mianmian was deeply moved.
She stood up with a smile, looked around at everyone, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm just going out to travel for a while, I'll definitely be back."
The beastmen's expressions relaxed slightly upon hearing this.
But some orcs still muttered under their breath, "It's dangerous outside. What if something happens to you, Chief?"
Ruan Mianmian walked up to the orc who had spoken and patted him on the shoulder: "I know everyone is concerned about me, but I am also capable of protecting myself. The weather is getting warmer, and I want to explore the plains around us before the rainy season."
At this moment, Sen, who had been silent all along, stood up and said, "Chief, I am willing to accompany you so that we can look after each other on the way."
The other orcs responded enthusiastically, offering to send their strongest and bravest warriors to protect Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian's eyes reddened; she felt the deep affection everyone had for her.
In the end, she agreed to the suggestion of some of her orc companions and promised to return to the tribe as soon as possible.
The group dispersed with a sense of relief, and Ruan Mianmian began preparing for her trip.
Since she's leaving, the tribe definitely needs a leader.
So Ruan Mianmian called Zhi, Hui, Ya, Yong, Yu, and Daman to Zhi's room. Of course, Sen also accompanied her.
"I went out this time for two reasons: to explore this plain and to see if I could bring back more resources. So after I left, Yong, Daman, and Yu will handle all the affairs of the tribe. Zhi, Hui, and Ya will assist me. We can discuss and deal with any problems that arise. If there is a very urgent matter, we can send Kun or other tribesmen to find me."
As soon as Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, she took out a piece of animal hide that she had made herself from her storage space.
The map drawn on this animal hide shows the geographical distribution of their plain.
Ruan Mianmian deliberately marked the location where she was going to leave, which horrified everyone who saw it.
The chieftain seemed to have never been to this place before, but the animal hide in his hand clearly marked the nearby locations and the habitats of various tribes.
The details on this animal hide are so detailed that even Sen, Yong, and Yu, these beastmen who run around everywhere, wouldn't dare say they could make it so accurate.
After exchanging glances, they became even more convinced that their leader was a goddess descended to earth to unify the beast world.
Ruan Mianmian looked at everyone's expressions and chuckled inwardly.
Actually, this was just her applying her previous knowledge.
But she didn't intend to explain that this mystery would help her lead the tribe better.
"Chief, you must be careful on your journey. We will definitely protect the tribe and await your return," Yong said respectfully.
“Chief, you can rest assured that we are protecting the tribe. We are waiting for your return,” Daman said, not wanting to be outdone.
Yu looked at the leader and Sen behind him, and silently swallowed the bitterness in her mouth.
He looked at Ruan Mianmian earnestly and said, "I will take good care of the tribe and wait for you to come back."
Ruan Mianmian nodded slightly, "Yes, I hope you will work together while I'm away."
