Chapter 71 Peace
After a long journey of more than half an hour, Ruan Mianmian and her group finally returned to the valley.
At this moment, Kun and Meng, along with several young orcs who were already capable of hunting on their own, were patrolling near the cave entrance.
Because apart from the high shaman, the tribe consisted mainly of slightly older orcs, the responsibility of protecting the orcs naturally fell on their shoulders.
Suddenly, a sound came from the entrance of the valley, which alerted Kun.
He reacted quickly, signaling Meng and the other small beastmen to block the entrance to the cave in case of any accidents. If any unfamiliar beastmen or animals ran into the valley, the small beastmen inside the cave would be in danger.
At the same time, he transformed back into his original form, spread his wings, and flew into the sky to observe the surrounding situation more comprehensively.
Yu had already noticed the little beastmen flying towards them, and he cried out loudly into the air a few times.
Kun immediately recognized Yu's voice and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Yu and the others had returned.
Just then, not only Kun heard Yu's cry, but even the few little beastmen guarding the cave entrance heard it.
They all looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with anticipation and joy. At the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of their fear, and waited happily at the cave entrance for their return.
After all, they were still little orcs, and they could feel fear and unease. Knowing that the valley was safe and there was no need to be nervous anymore, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
From high above, Kun could clearly see Sen and Yu accompanying the goddess back, and he excitedly made a few "coo-coo" sounds.
Upon hearing this, Yu understood that everything was fine within the tribe and no problems had occurred.
The cave entrance was wide open, and a group of small orcs were huddled together guarding the entrance.
They were not unaware of the tense atmosphere tonight, but they could do nothing but be afraid.
Seeing that Sen and Yu had left with the goddess, and the high shaman was constantly divining by the fire, they knew that tonight would definitely be a sleepless night.
Suddenly, some of the little beastmen saw Yu and the others return and shouted loudly, "The goddess is back! Sen and Yu are back!"
The cave suddenly became lively. Everyone disregarded the cold and excitedly ran out of the cave entrance to wait for them.
We're back!
Ruan Mianmian looked at the little beastmen and happily greeted them.
"goddess!"
"goddess!"
The little beastmen surrounded Ruan Mianmian, chattering incessantly.
Ruan Mianmian listened patiently to their conversation and asked them with concern if they had been frightened.
Ruan Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that no little beastmen had been frightened.
She smiled and told everyone not to worry, that the matter had been resolved, and that she, Sen, and Yu would continue to protect them.
Upon hearing this, the little beastmen cheered and jumped for joy.
In a cheerful atmosphere, Ruan Mianmian followed Sen and Yu into the cave.
Zhi sat by the campfire, watching it burn, while constantly performing divination, fearing something unexpected might happen on this journey. Although the divination before he left had yielded a good result, the process was so chaotic that he couldn't see anything clearly, which made him very worried.
Fortunately, the final result was good.
When he heard the little orcs calling them back, he silently added a few more pieces of dry wood to the campfire.
"We know, we're back."
When Ruan Mianmian returned to the cave, she saw Zhi sitting by the fire.
Next to him were his divination tools; it's easy to tell he was extremely worried.
"You're back. Was everything alright? Has everything been resolved?"
Zhi quickly offered her seat to Ruan Mianmian, gesturing for her to sit there and warm up.
Sen and Yu also came over and sat down next to Ruan Mianmian.
The cave entrance was now closed, and the little beastmen sat down around them, eager to hear what had happened that night.
Ruan Mianmian stroked the fur of the teddy bear next to her, smiled and said that everything went smoothly, and gestured for Sen and Yu to tell her about today's events.
After all, she didn't do anything, and she's not good at some of the fighting scenes, so let Mori and Yu handle this.
Sen and Yu then took turns recounting what had happened that evening.
When the story of Ruan Mianmian treating the wolf king's leg injury was told, Zhi and all the beastmen looked at Ruan Mianmian with admiration.
In the orcish continent, shamans with medical skills hold a transcendent status. After all, orcs are easily injured, and sometimes a simple wound can cost an orc their life.
If a tribe has a shaman who knows medicine, it will attract many wandering orcs to join.
Although Ruan Mianmian is not a witch doctor, it is obvious that her medical skills are far superior to those of witch doctors.
Then Sen described in detail the hiding place of the two wandering orcs. When everyone heard that the place was not far from the valley and that it was very well hidden, they were all terrified.
If we fail to deal with these two wandering orcs tonight, we may face the danger of them invading the valley tomorrow.
After all, without the help of the wolf pack, it would be very difficult for Sen and Yu to fight against two adult wandering beastmen on their own.
Moreover, most of the tribe consists of young orcs. If these two wandering orcs were allowed into the valley, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it would be uncertain whether the entire tribe could still exist.
Then, Sen recounted the fierce battle with the two wandering orcs.
This really struck a chord with the orcs, who were at the age where they were eager to fight, and hearing about such a fierce battle naturally made their blood boil.
Some mischievous little orcs even began to imitate the biting or pouncing movements in battle, as if they were valiant warriors.
Sen vividly described the details of the battle, and the little beastmen listened with great excitement, as if they were there themselves.
Just then, Yu interjected, "However, we also suffered serious injuries."
He revealed several deep claw marks on his arm, causing the other small beastmen to gasp in horror.
"But it's alright, as long as we are united, we will definitely be able to protect the tribe!" Sen encouraged.
The little beastmen responded enthusiastically, their eyes filled with determination and courage.
Looking at these adorable little ones, Ruan Mianmian felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She believed that with everyone's joint efforts, the tribe would surely become stronger and stronger.
The cold wind was howling, but the cave was cozy and warm.
Ruan Mianmian didn't know Yu was injured before, thinking that he was fine with the help of the wolf pack. Now that she saw the deep wound, she couldn't help but complain, "Yu, why didn't you say you were injured? I'm not happy about hiding it from you."
After saying that, he took out the medicine that he had left over from treating the wolf king and used it to treat Yu's arm.
Seeing the little female's angry face, Yu couldn't help but coax her, "I was just afraid you'd be angry. It's common for orcs to get injured. This injury isn't very serious; it'll be fine in a few days. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry. I won't do it again."
Yu secretly observed Ruan Mianmian's expression; she was clearly very angry at the moment.
Senpan, standing to the side, said with a hint of schadenfreude, "See, you got hurt after all that showing off!"
Ruan Mianmian glared at Sen, annoyed. "Stop talking nonsense!"
She gently blew on Yu's wound, feeling a pang of heartache.
Yu looked at her tenderly, her eyes full of affection, and said softly, "Don't be angry, I'll definitely tell you next time."
He knew that his actions had upset her, but he was trying to protect her and didn't want her to worry too much.
Seeing this, Mori quickly changed the subject, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
He smiled and said to Ruan Mianmian, "Alright, you must be tired after a busy night. Let's get some rest!"
As he spoke, he began to shoo the little beastmen away, telling them to go to sleep.
Although the little beastmen were a little reluctant, they obediently returned to their places.
After confirming that everything was arranged properly, Zhi slowly returned to the stone chamber.
He secretly rejoiced that the problem had been resolved in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Only then did Ruan Mianmian realize that a deep drowsiness was coming on. She yawned, took off her thick down jacket, and quickly crawled into her warm sleeping bag.
"Sen, Yu, goodnight!" she said softly, her voice tinged with weariness.
Although Mori and Yu didn't understand the specific meaning of the word "goodnight," they could sense a warm atmosphere from her tone.
They smiled and replied, "Good night!" hoping for a wonderful start to tomorrow.
As time passed, Ruan Mianmian gradually drifted off to sleep, while Sen and Yu sat quietly by her side, guarding her peace.
The tranquility of the night enveloped the entire cave, broken only by the soft sounds of breathing and the occasional gust of wind.
At this moment, their relationship became closer, and their trust in each other deepened.
