Chapter 379 Jungle Hunt
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows that shone on Ruan Mianmian's delicate yet resolute face.
She stood gracefully before a group of burly, muscular orcs, with the imposing Sen beside her.
These beastmen were all eager to get started, their eyes gleaming with anticipation and excitement.
This time, with Ruan Mianmian personally leading the team on a hunting trip, everyone was naturally in high spirits.
Those orcs who had followed her into battle knew perfectly well that as long as a leader was in charge, they would always return with a full load of spoils and riches.
Moreover, the food distributed by the leader is always of high quality and in ample quantity, ensuring that everyone has enough to eat.
However, the hunting trip was not without its challenges. Due to the dry season, prey was scarce and difficult to find. After careful consideration, Ruan Mianmian decided to lead everyone to the place where the ferocious iguana had been found earlier to begin the hunt.
That place was far from their habitat, and it would take at least one or two days to travel there and back.
After careful consideration, Ruan Mianmian ultimately chose only two powerful clan leaders, Yu and Daman, to accompany her. However, each clan still sent twenty elite orcs to participate in this important operation.
It is clear that Ruan Mianmian was determined to make this trip and was determined to plunder as much of the resources there as possible.
Because it is the dry season, the entire environment has become exceptionally dry, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for their tribe. Not only are food resources dwindling, but the tribe's security is also becoming an urgent issue.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the meticulous Ruan Mianmian decided to keep the exceptionally strong and battle-hardened Yong to ensure the safety of the tribe.
As for Jiang, his combat strength is relatively weak, and his beaver beastmen are highly dependent on water. If they are away from water for a long time, these beastmen will probably not be able to withstand it.
After taking all factors into consideration, it was ultimately decided that Yong and Jiang would share the responsibility of protecting the tribe's safety.
This hunting expedition was quite large in scale, with the tribe sending as many as a quarter of its orcs to participate.
Before setting off, Ruan Mianmian tirelessly stocked up on ample water and plenty of delicious game for the tribe, making all the necessary preparations. Then, she lightly leaped onto Sen's broad, sturdy back and set off first.
Sen spread its strong and powerful wings, and like a bolt of lightning, it pierced the sky and sped forward at breakneck speed.
It should be noted that the speed at which the forest flies is astonishing, especially now that Ruan Mianmian is pregnant, she naturally cannot move slowly and leisurely like the other tribesmen.
Fortunately, many of the orcs in this group were members of the previous expedition. They knew the route to the hunting grounds by heart, so there was no need to worry about getting lost or not finding their destination.
As Ruan Mianmian soared through the air, the hunting party on the ground advanced in an orderly fashion toward their target. Yu and Daman constantly reminded their respective tribesmen to conserve their energy.
Upon reaching the vicinity of their destination, Ruan Mianmian instructed Sen to descend and circle to observe. Sure enough, several iguanas were basking in the sun below; they were thick-skinned, large, and robust.
Ruan Mianmian quickly devised a plan, now she just had to wait for the orcs in the tribe to arrive before she could hunt them down.
Sen led Ruan Mianmian to a slightly open spot to park. After Ruan Mianmian observed the surroundings and confirmed that the place was safe, she set up her tent and prepared to set up camp.
It would take at least a day for the tribesmen to get here, and during that time only she and Sen would be there.
Sen put his arm around the little female's waist and looked at her, saying, "I'll take care of the tent; you just rest."
Seeing that Sen was determined, Ruan Mianmian let him go ahead with his plan. She then found a place to sit down and opened a map to search for prey in the surrounding area.
As she was looking at the map, she suddenly felt a throbbing in her stomach, as if little fish were swimming inside her.
Ruan Mianmian thought that perhaps today's flight had affected the little cub, so she quickly took out two Beast Spirit Pills and ate them.
Sen saw her taking the pills and anxiously walked over, asking, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Ruan Mianmian smiled and placed his hand on her belly, letting him feel the slight fetal movement. When Sen felt the movement, his excited eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils.
"Ruanruan, the little rascal is moving inside!"
Seeing Sen's excited expression, Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "Yes, our little one is very healthy, and I'm doing well too."
Sen was relieved to hear this, and Ruan Mianmian took the opportunity to tell him about the approximate distribution of prey in the area. Now they just had to wait for the tribesmen to arrive so they could start hunting.
After spending the night in the forest, not long after dawn the next day, they heard the shouts of their tribesmen. Sen roared into the air for a while, and the tribesmen came over one after another. Looking at their leader, they excitedly shouted, "Greetings, Chief!"
