Chapter 188 The Return Journey
Afterwards, Ruan Mianmian carefully sprayed them with hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicine. Watching the wounds gradually heal under the effect of the medicine, she felt a little relieved.
Due to the urgency of the situation and the lack of any room for complacency, everyone hurriedly finished their simple meal and immediately threw themselves back into the intense excavation work.
Ruan Mianmian stood aside, gazing at the long ravines crisscrossing the deep forest, and a sense of regret welled up in her heart. She thought to herself: Perhaps I should have brought more orcs with me, so as to lighten their burden and prevent them from suffering so much pain and injury.
"Sen, why don't we just go back like this? Look at them, they're all injured but still digging. I really feel bad about it," Ruan Mianmian said softly, her eyes full of worry and guilt.
Sen looked at her, a knowing glint in his eyes, and then slowly said, "Ruan Ruan, you've come this far, so you must persevere. The digging will be finished soon; when you return to the tribe, you can reward them appropriately." Ruan Mianmian nodded slightly in response.
Finally, the entire spirit stone vein, which stretched endlessly like a giant dragon, was slowly excavated through everyone's tireless efforts.
Each spirit stone seemed to radiate a mysterious light, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight. They appeared to have been nurtured by the earth for a long time, and now they had finally seen the light of day again.
Ruan Mianmian stood quietly at the end of the mine, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She carefully held the full load of spirit stones in her hands, and the heavy weight gave her an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
These spirit stones are not merely an accumulation of material wealth, but also a testament to their hard work over the past two days. They will become the cornerstone of the tribe's rise.
"Alright, everyone, you've worked hard!" Ruan Mianmian said to the orcs surrounding her with a slight smile.
"These spirit stones will bring immense benefits to our tribe, making our lives more prosperous and enabling our people to live better lives. Now, let's go back together!"
The orcs erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers, expressing their joy.
Then, they shook off the mud from their bodies and, like arrows released from a bow, followed behind their leader, Ruan Mianmian, and headed off in different directions towards the tribe.
Along the way, the orcs' mood was completely different from when they came.
They no longer felt tired and exhausted, but were filled with anticipation and hope.
As they ran, their minds were filled with thoughts of their people, imagining how they would recount their wondrous journey of the past two days, how they would boast about the many precious delicacies they had consumed during their arduous journey, and how they would share the awe-inspiring miracles they had witnessed…
There's no way around it; in the orc world, food is always the most important thing, as it's related to survival and reproduction.
Ruan Mianmian was overwhelmed with excitement.
The system kept prompting her to upgrade it, saying that the upgrade would definitely bring different effects and experiences.
But Ruan Mianmian remained unmoved.
In her opinion, she should first go back and exchange things with the merchant, and then determine the value of the spirit stone before upgrading the system.
In her view, the system was already perfect and there was no need for any more unnecessary frills.
But the system was focused solely on upgrading at that moment; it looked at spirit stones like a woman looking at her favorite handbag, eager to get her hands on them as soon as possible.
Returning home feels completely different from coming home; perhaps this is what it means to be home.
After a long and arduous journey, they finally saw the entrance to the valley.
Jin and Ye both started howling, their cries echoing across the plains...
