Chapter 287 Torrential Rain
People have always said that "spring rain is as precious as oil," but this saying is completely inapplicable to the orc continent.
Just then, several dazzling flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a torrential downpour that instantly pelted the earth.
Thanks to the magical system that Ruan Mianmian possessed, which allowed her to accurately know the specific time and weather changes, she made ample preparations in advance and settled her people in a safe cave well in advance.
The roaring bonfire inside the cave brought some warmth and light to this world shrouded in gloom.
Ruan Mianmian gazed quietly at the increasingly heavy rain, and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
"Is the rain always this heavy? If it continues like this for a whole day and night, it could cause severe flooding!"
Sen gently embraced her as they sat together in the cave, watching the rain outside.
He said softly, "Actually, there have been even bigger rainstorms in previous years. After all, the earth needs plenty of rain to nourish the soil. Only when it is fully 'saturated' can it nurture lush flowers, trees, and plants and bear abundant fruit."
Although Sen's explanation was not very detailed or clear, the intelligent Ruan Mianmian quickly understood its meaning.
The newborn wolf cubs were huddled under their mother, trembling with fear.
Wolf-beastmen possess extremely keen hearing, enabling them to detect the most subtle changes in sound in nature.
However, even these brave hunters feel fear when faced with the immense and irresistible power of nature.
Daman gazed at the little ones in front of him with a smile, his eyes full of love and pity.
She said softly, "This is the first time the little ones have heard thunder, so it's understandable that they're scared. Look at our Bai Bai, his ears are pressed tightly against his head right now, he must be quite frightened!"
Upon hearing this, Miyue and Rou exchanged a smile.
They gently reached out and slowly stroked the little beastmen beside them, as if this could convey endless warmth and comfort to the children.
At the same time, they were softly humming an unknown but exceptionally gentle and beautiful tune. The melody flowed like a gentle stream, seemingly possessing a magical power that could gradually calm those anxious little hearts.
Looking at the location of the Eastern tribe, their caves are situated at relatively high elevations, making it difficult for rainwater to directly enter them.
This undoubtedly provides a natural sanctuary for the beastmen living here, allowing them to maintain a relatively dry and comfortable environment even in harsh weather.
However, other tribes were not so lucky.
For example, the hyena tribe, known for their burrowing skills, is accustomed to building their dwellings in semi-underground locations.
At this very moment, torrential rain was pouring in through the openings of the caves, instantly plunging the entire tribe into a vast expanse of water. Everyone was like a pitiful drowned rat, trapped in the icy, bone-chilling rain in a sorry state.
And then there's the majestic lion clan. Although they also have their own caves as their dwellings, they spend most of their time in the open air, which makes their caves not only shallow but also unable to withstand this sudden downpour.
As a result, a large amount of rainwater poured into the cave without mercy, instantly turning the originally dry cave into a small pool of water.
