Chapter 364 Preparations Before the Rainy Season
After the meeting, Ruan Mianmian solemnly gave an order to the orcs of the tribe, demanding that they all return to the cave immediately.
The reason is simple: a torrential downpour is about to sweep in.
In fact, everyone already knew when the rainy season would arrive. Because of this, the entire tribe was well-prepared, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Whether it's dried meat or piles of firewood and other supplies, they are all in extremely good stock.
Moreover, Ruan Mianmian also carefully selected a suitable location for the elephant tribe beastmen to store their exclusive food.
To make the food more diverse, she spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of elephant grass and tender leaves from the system store, as well as various delicious fruits that she had painstakingly collected in the Lala Mountains.
Then, Ruan Mianmian called Daman over and pointed to the piles of abundant food, saying, "Daman, you can eat this for now. However, I didn't put out too much at once, because if too much is left, the food will quickly lose its freshness. If you find that there's not much food left, don't hesitate to come and find me!"
Upon hearing these words, Daman was moved to tears and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you so much, Chief! You've been so kind to us!" As he spoke, his eyes even reddened slightly.
Ruan Mianmian smiled gently at the robust woman before her and softly comforted her, "Daman, there's really no need to thank me so much. You know, we belong to the same tribe, and you've always trusted me completely. Since that's the case, I'm naturally happy to give you everything you deserve." With that, she gently patted Daman's broad shoulder.
Daman burst into laughter through his tears, his eyes filled with reverence. "Chief, you are always so thoughtful. With you leading us, no matter how tough this rainy season is, we will not be afraid."
Ruan Mianmian looked up at the darkening clouds on the horizon and silently calculated the approximate amount of rainfall in the rain.
"Daman, although the supplies are ready, we still can't be careless. We need to take waterproofing measures inside the cave, especially in the corners where food is stored, to prevent them from getting damp."
"Yes, Chief, I'll make the arrangements right away." Daman turned and quickly walked towards the other tribesmen to relay the order.
Ruan Mianmian walked alone to the edge of the cave, looking at the distant mountain range, and couldn't help but worry about whether the defensive facilities around the tribe could withstand the erosion of this heavy rain.
Just then, a little orc ran over and tugged at her sleeve, asking in a childish voice, "Chief, will big monsters come when it rains?"
Ruan Mianmian squatted down, pinched the little beastman's cheek, and said with a smile, "No, it won't happen. With me here, and many strong members of our tribe protecting us, we're safe."
The little orc nodded reassuredly and skipped away.
As the dark clouds thickened, a deafening roar erupted, and a torrential downpour began, with large raindrops pounding on the ground outside the cave, splashing up sprays of water.
Tu and Da also came over at this time. The water level had not risen yet, but it was estimated that the valley would definitely be flooded in a while.
"Chief, the sand we used to absorb water has already been reused. Do you think we should produce some more so we can place sandbags in advance?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian took out another piece of sand crystal and then released a large amount of sand.
When the orcs saw that they were going to fill sandbags again, they all came over to work. Before long, dozens of large sandbags were neatly piled up outside the cave.
Zhi glanced at the amount of rain outside and said to everyone, "The rainy season has just begun, so there's not much of a problem yet. We should continue as usual. However, starting tonight, ten orcs from the tribe will take turns keeping watch every night, and they should report any problems immediately."
Upon hearing this, Yong and Sen nodded in agreement, indicating that they would assign personnel shortly.
Now that everything was ready, all they could do was wait. Everyone started roasting meat and cooking dinner. The females in the tribe now knew how to cook many dishes, especially Ruan Mianmian, who attracted everyone's attention as soon as she released the spiky beast.
"Wow, what kind of prey is this? I've never seen anything like it before."
"This prey is covered in long thorns; it must be difficult to catch!"
"Ah, this thorn is very hard. You guys try it. I just touched it and it bled!"
……
Everyone chattered excitedly, expressing their curiosity about the spiky beast.
At this moment, Sen stepped forward. He glanced at the Spiked Beast and said calmly, "This is called a Spiked Beast, and it roams in the southeast of the Lala Mountains. It is covered in sharp spikes and is good at dodging. If you encounter it in the future, run if you can. If you really can't, then try to attack the skin under its spikes. Because the skin of this Spiked Beast is very thin, once you get rid of all those spikes, it's not a threat!"
Upon hearing this, the orcs nodded in agreement, their faces showing a look of sudden realization.
After Sen's detailed explanation, their doubts vanished, and they gained a better understanding of the unfamiliar beast before them.
It must be said that this kind of advice is indeed very helpful.
Just then, Ruan Mianmian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and added, "Later, you all have to think of a way to get the spikes off this armored beast. These spikes are exceptionally strong; they might be used as powerful weapons, or perhaps they could be useful in other ways."
Yan, who had already prepared to process the beast meat later, hurriedly nodded in agreement after hearing Ruan Mianmian's words.
It turns out that he also came from the Lala Mountains and had encountered this kind of spiky beast before.
However, as Mori said before, it is indeed very difficult to take action against him.
Faced with this creature covered in hard, sharp spikes, Yan usually had no choice but to flee or avoid it from a distance.
But now that the leader has spoken, he must find a way to preserve these indestructible thorns!
