Chapter 324 Settling Down
A group of orcs ran across the dark plains, and after less than two hours, they finally spotted a small cave not far ahead.
For these strong and robust beastmen, resting anywhere in the wild is not a difficult task.
However, since they had come with their leader, they had to find a relatively comfortable and safe cave for him to rest.
So everyone quickened their pace and ran towards the cave.
The first to arrive at the cave entrance was Light. He took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and suddenly spewed out a burst of raging fire.
The flames instantly engulfed the entire cave, burning away all the annoying insects and dense spider webs inside.
After the fire subsided slightly, Tu led the other orcs into the cave cautiously to begin the cleaning work.
Because of the dim light at night, and the fact that most wild animals in the forest become unusually active at this time, hunting at night is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing for the beastmen.
Just as everyone was troubled by this, Ruan Mianmian threw out a huge Moo Moo Beast from the system space and ordered Ye Heguang to clean it up and eat it.
Fortunately, a wide river flows from east to west not far from the cave.
Without saying a word, Noga picked up the Moo Moo beast and headed towards the river.
Meanwhile, Meng and Bati led several other orcs to split up and search for dry, flammable firewood as they traversed the forest.
The remaining orcs scattered, vigilantly watching their surroundings to prevent any potential threats from approaching.
Although they had been busy and tired all day, no one complained. Everyone was doing their job and quietly preparing for the survival that lay ahead.
After all, they were in the middle of nowhere, and the forest was full of potential dangers, especially after nightfall.
It was pitch black all around, with only a faint moonlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves, giving it an eerie and terrifying feel.
Not long after, Meng and several other companions slowly walked back carrying two huge dead trees.
The withered tree looked very heavy, but it didn't seem to be a problem for them, who were strong and healthy.
Upon reaching the campfire, the burly Bati, without saying a word, immediately swung his thick, powerful fist and smashed it hard against the tree trunk.
With a few muffled thuds, the sturdy tree trunk snapped into several pieces in an instant.
Meanwhile, Yan skillfully arranged the firewood neatly, and quickly conjured a ball of blazing fire in his hand.
With a flick of his arm, the fireball landed precisely on the pile of firewood, and in an instant, flames rose up, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
At this moment, an orc ran over and reported to Ruan Mianmian: "Chief, the cave has been prepared. You may go in and rest for a while."
After a long day of trekking, Ruan Mianmian, being female and with almost no physical strength, was now completely exhausted.
Upon hearing this news, she felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly headed towards the cave.
As soon as she entered the cave, she eagerly retrieved the tent from the system and skillfully positioned it. Then, she unzipped the tent, crawled inside, and collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.
Lying in her soft sleeping bag, she let out a long sigh and thought to herself: "If only I could drive a car when I go out in the future, it would save me a lot of trouble!"
Just then, the system that had been lurking in her mind suddenly spoke up: "Dear host, our system shop has everything! There's nothing you can't buy, only things you haven't thought of!"
Ruan Mianmian rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Hmph, don't give me that! A car costs over a million, plus the expensive gas, I'd be bankrupt! Do you expect me to starve?"
After she finished speaking, she gently closed her eyes, as if the whole world had stopped at that moment.
She closed her eyes slightly, quietly absorbing the rare tranquility around her, immersing herself completely in it, and fully enjoying the comfort and ease.
Upon hearing her words, the system seemed startled and instantly shrank back into a corner, no longer daring to utter a sound.
Sen silently watched everything happening inside the cave. Seeing the little female resting quietly in the tent, he watched for a while, then quietly turned and left the cave, afraid of disturbing her sweet dreams.
Just then, Ye and the others who had gone out to process the beast meat returned with the Moo Moo Beasts that had already been processed.
Everyone eagerly got to work, placing the fresh ingredients over the fire to roast. Soon, the cave was filled with the enticing aroma of roasting meat.
Before long, the rich aroma of roasted meat, like a mischievous little hand, quietly slipped into the tent.
The fragrance woke Ruan Mianmian, who was still fast asleep.
She first turned over in a daze, but soon her stomach started growling.
After some internal struggle, she finally decided to sit up from her warm bed.
When she lifted the tent flap and stepped out, the first thing she saw was Sen standing not far away.
Sen was holding a piece of freshly grilled, fragrant meat that was still sizzling with hot oil. When he saw Ruan Mianmian come out, he immediately walked up to her with a smile and handed her the delicious piece of meat.
Ruan Mianmian took the piece of roasted meat somewhat shyly and took a small bite. Instantly, a delicious, tender, juicy, and crispy flavor spread throughout her mouth.
Just that small bite made her feel like all the fatigue from the whole day had lessened considerably.
However, at this wonderful moment, the system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly couldn't hold back anymore. Its voice rang out at an inopportune time: "Host, you can actually use your points to redeem all kinds of delicious food. You don't have to wait to eat barbecue every day!"
Hearing this, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but roll her eyes at it in her heart, and said irritably, "Hmph! I don't want that! Freshly grilled meat like this is the most delicious food, okay!"
Upon hearing the host's words, the system sighed helplessly and then withdrew.
Making a little money is so hard these days!
