Chapter 143 Returning to the Tribe
Just as the orcs felt they were about to give up and their bodies were starting to feel heavy, they could vaguely see the entrance to the valley.
Yong immediately shouted excitedly, and even though the wind and snow kept pouring into his mouth, he persevered in conveying the news of their return to his companions in the valley.
Upon hearing Yong's shout, the wolf-men nearby also joined in with long howls, and for a moment, the howls of wolves echoed throughout the entire plain.
Morimoto, who was inside the cave, was anxiously waiting at the entrance, hoping for his companions' safe return.
When he heard the howling of wolves in the distance, he knew they must be back, so he rushed towards the entrance of the valley.
A group of equally anxious orcs followed closely behind him, shouting as they ran, "Hurry up!"
At this moment, Yong led the team to the entrance. As soon as they entered the valley, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and their speed gradually slowed down like deflated balloons.
Seeing this, Ruan Mianmian quickly shouted, "Don't stop! Hurry back to the cave!"
The beastmen tensed up upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's cries, realizing that the situation might not be as optimistic as they thought.
Yong was the first to regain his senses, and he shouted loudly at the orcs, "Don't stop, run back to the cave quickly!"
Upon hearing Yong's words, the other orcs held their breath and ran after him.
Their steps seemed somewhat weary, but their eyes shone with a determined light.
Just then, Sen arrived from afar. He spotted Ruan Mianmian immediately and asked her with concern if she was alright.
Ruan Mianmian waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, and Sen breathed a sigh of relief. He then urged everyone to hurry back to the cave.
At this moment, the cave entrance was already open, and the people inside, disregarding the cold wind and flying snow, held tightly to the cave door, anxiously waiting for everyone's return.
Yong was the first to step into the cave, but as soon as he entered, his body suddenly went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
Then, one orc after another returned to the cave, each of them lying helplessly on the cold ground, just like Yong.
Due to the limited space in the cave, everyone had to transform back into human form to save space.
After the last elephant-type orc entered the cave, Meng led the strength-type orcs of his tribe to quickly close the cave door and moved many stones, piling them little by little into a thick stone wall to withstand the approaching blizzard.
The wind howled outside, occasionally pounding against the door with a dull thud, causing the door to shake.
Tu frowned upon seeing this and ordered Meng and the other orcs to bring over a few more logs for support.
Meanwhile, Sen had already carried Ruan Mianmian back into the cave and strode over to her tent, gently placing her on the earthen bed.
Ruan Mianmian leaned weakly against Sen's chest, her hands drooping, feeling his warm body temperature, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
As Sen's arms tightened around her, her body trembled slightly, as if she were a little shy and nervous, but she still bravely embraced him.
Then, she gently nuzzled his neck, as if expressing closeness and dependence.
Sen sensed the little female's affection and felt a warm feeling well up in his heart.
His lips unconsciously curled up into a satisfied smile.
While gently taking off her ski suit, he softly asked, "Will you dare to go out like this again?" His tone was a mix of doting and helplessness.
Ruan Mianmian moved her sore arms, trying to regain some strength.
She answered softly, "Yes, I will. After all, it's a life. No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely try to save it if I can!"
Her voice was weak, but it was full of firmness and determination.
Sen's eyes shone with a light that Ruan Mianmian couldn't understand. He gazed at her deeply, his eyes filled with emotion and admiration.
He couldn't help but gently kiss Ruan Mianmian's forehead, and then said, "Ruan Ruan, you must have been sent by the Beast God to save us. The Beastman Continent will definitely become better because of you!" His words were full of praise and gratitude for her.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian's face flushed slightly, and her heart was filled with joy and happiness.
While Ruan Mianmian was talking to Sen, Yong and the others gradually regained their strength and were talking to the clan's high shaman about the dangers of their rescue mission.
When they talked about how fast Ruan Mianmian could run on her sled, all the orcs praised their leader's prowess.
What's there to fear if we don't have sharp claws? Their leader possesses a brilliant mind and miraculous abilities, capable of overcoming even the greatest difficulties.
When Kun described how he and Yu lost their way, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
The orcs of the elephant tribe occasionally chimed in, and gasps of surprise echoed through the cave, creating an unusually harmonious atmosphere.
