Chapter 390 Autumn Arrives
With the mining of the ore completed, the dry season is coming to an end.
A clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and large raindrops began to fall, signifying the end of the dry season and the arrival of autumn.
Everyone rushed out of the cave and cheered in the rain!
Especially for the beaver orcs, after two months of torment, facing the heavy rain outside now felt incredibly comfortable.
The tribespeople were running and cheering in the rain. Looking at the heavy rain, Ruan Mianmian said, "Is this rain going to be like the rainy season, going on and on?"
Upon hearing this, Sen laughed and said, "No, this rain simply signifies the end of the dry season. It also brings some moisture to the parched earth, allowing the plants to drink their fill and their fruits to ripen more fully. The end of the dry season means the arrival of autumn, the harvest season. This rain will only last two days at most, and then the four-month hunting season will begin. After the hunting season, winter will arrive. This is the cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter in the beast world!"
After hearing Sen's explanation, Ruan Mianmian stroked her belly, which had grown even larger. "Our balls are already five months along. According to Zhi, your Senran usually gives birth in six to seven months, so I'll be there soon too."
Sen gently embraced Ruan Mianmian and said tenderly, "Don't worry, everything will go smoothly. I will definitely be by your side when you give birth."
Ruan Mianmian nodded.
In the days that followed, the villagers took advantage of the rain to check on the crops in the valley. Ruan Mianmian wanted to help, but Sen stopped her.
"You need to rest now, leave these things to us." Ruan Mianmian could only give instructions from the side.
Just as Mori had predicted, the rain stopped after two days. Yu then began gathering men to go hunting.
This large-scale hunting operation involved not only wolf-men, elephant-men, and bear-men, but also the hyena tribe living on the outskirts of the valley.
Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Ruan Mianmian has been quite satisfied with the hyena clan.
So, when they set off for another hunt, Yong took Mao and the others along as well.
Before the hunting party was about to set off, the meticulous Sen repeatedly reminded everyone to be careful and ensure their own safety.
As planned, the hunting trip will be conducted in three-day cycles. This means that the hunting team must return to the tribe every three days to rest, replenish supplies, and process the game they have caught.
As for Ruan Mianmian, who is six months pregnant, she chooses to take a slow walk around the tribe every day to exercise her body and hopes that the delivery process will be smoother.
Sen was extremely caring towards her, paying close attention to her emotional changes at all times.
Whenever he had free time, he would take Ruan Mianmian out of the valley to stroll and relax in the vast and boundless world outside.
It must be said that autumn is indeed a wonderful season for reaping a bountiful harvest.
With Sen's companionship and guidance, Ruan Mianmian has gained a lot almost every day.
Whether it's the colorful wild fruits in the mountains and forests, the plump and tender fish and shrimp by the stream, or the various rare herbs hidden in the grass, they all become delightful treasures in her eyes.
As time went by, Ruan Mianmian's belly grew bigger and bigger. The hunting season was very successful, and the tribesmen returned with a large amount of prey.
The entire tribe was filled with joy as everyone prepared for the upcoming new life.
On this day, when the hunting party returned with a full catch as usual, they brought back news that thrilled the entire tribe.
The news spread like a spring breeze, instantly reaching every corner of the tribe.
It turned out that a remarkable herd of bison had suddenly appeared in the vast, boundless forests to the east.
These bison are quite different from the wild animals we usually see; they have much larger bodies, resembling moving hills.
Their sheer size is astonishing. And with their increased size, the power they possess naturally rises as well, far exceeding that of ordinary wild beasts.
According to the hunting team, the herd of bison was currently gathered near a beautiful lake in the eastern forest. Judging from their behavior, they appeared to have just completed a long migration.
Initial estimates suggest that the herd of bison numbers in the hundreds!
Such a large herd of cattle is undoubtedly a huge temptation for the tribe.
When Ruan Mianmian heard the news, her heart immediately burned with excitement.
"Several hundred?" Her eyes widened, and she excitedly muttered to herself, "Such a large herd of bison! If we can successfully capture them, what a rich harvest it will bring to our tribe! We must take them down!"
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian couldn't wait to start planning how to organize this massive hunting operation.
Ruan Mianmian first summoned experienced orcs from various races to discuss countermeasures.
She said, "Bison are huge and live in herds, so a direct confrontation is definitely not an option."
An experienced werewolf suggested, "We can set a trap, using the surrounding trees and vines to create a huge snare."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Next, Ruan Mianmian arranged for some of her clansmen to collect tough vines, while others were responsible for finding suitable locations to set traps.
Sen stayed by Ruan Mianmian's side the whole time, protecting her.
The morning after the traps were set, the hunting party quietly approached the cattle herd.
They first made noise to drive the cattle toward the trap.
The bison were startled and began to run wildly. Just as they were about to reach the trap, a calf suddenly broke away from the herd and ran to the side, and many bison followed suit.
Just when everyone thought the plan had failed, the hyenas quickly moved in, flanking the bison and changing its route once again.
Eventually, most of the bison fell into the trap. The tribe cheered and began to hunt the bison in an orderly manner.
The hunt was a great success; the tribe obtained enough food to survive the winter and stored many hides and horns for making tools.
Looking at the bustling scene, Ruan Mianmian's face was full of satisfaction.
