Chapter 53 Surprise
Over here, Ruan Mianmian led a group of little beastmen to work hard to dig containers in the pile of rocks. One by one, the stones, which were polished into the shape of containers, gradually took shape under the efforts of the little beastmen.
Meanwhile, Sen and Yu had just returned to the valley with some orcs who were good at hunting.
This trip was very fruitful. I don't know if it's because everyone knew that salt could be used to preserve food, but everyone worked very hard today.
Each orc who went out carried a huge prey on his back, mostly moo beasts, and two baa beasts as well.
"Ruan Ruan said she really likes eating sheep meat. Now that we have two, it should be enough for her, right?"
With the two sheep that Yu had tied up on his back, Sen couldn't wait to return to the cave to show the little female.
He imagined how happy Ruan Mianmian would be when she saw the delicious food, and his heart was filled with anticipation.
However, when they entered the valley, they found it unusually quiet, as if time had stopped.
This silence was unsettling, even somewhat alarming.
Even in the quietest times before, it was never as deathly still as it is now, which made them worry that something bad might have happened to the valley.
A red light flashed in Sen and Yu's eyes, and they instantly entered battle mode, then rushed towards the cave.
The cave was quiet, with no signs of a struggle. There were also no signs of damage around, which put Sen, Yu, and the group of little beastmen at ease.
If Ruan Mianmian saw this now, she would be shocked.
Sen and Yu both transformed into their gigantic forms, and the group of small beastmen behind them, though small, were not to be underestimated, standing like small mountains at the cave entrance.
Yu cautiously observed the situation inside the cave, then slowly transformed back into human form.
He took a few steps forward and walked to the place where Ruan Mianmian had slept, only to find it empty.
"Sen, the little female is missing!" Yu said anxiously.
The other little orcs chimed in, and their relaxed mood turned tense again.
"Don't rush," Sen said calmly. "Let's look around first and see if any clues have been left."
So, the group began to search the cave carefully, leaving no corner unchecked.
Finally, they found a wooden plank next to the wall, and the plank was made of black spider silk.
Sen and Yu exchanged a glance, realizing that this must have been made by the little female, as only she could make so many strange and unusual things.
Since they made something and there were no signs of fighting, the little female must have taken those little beastmen out.
Then they led the little orc away from the cave and began searching for them in the vicinity.
After making more than a dozen large vats, Ruan Mianmian stopped them.
Claws are sharp, but they can't be used indefinitely. They're all young beastmen, not yet adults, so we should be careful.
In fact, Tu and the others were already exhausted, but they kept digging hard just to make the goddess happy.
One of the little orcs had bloodstains on his claws. He tried to hide his claws behind his back, not wanting the goddess to see them and worry that he was useless.
Ruan Mianmian had actually seen it long ago. She was both worried and amused by the honesty of these little beastmen.
Don't you know how to rest unless you tell them to stop?
She walked up to the little beastman, a sand dune cat, which later became a popular desert cat.
Ruan Mianmian stroked the fine downy hair on his body, and tenderly took out anti-inflammatory medicine to bandage him up.
You could tell from its fur that this little lynx was very young; it still had that fluffy, soft feel to it. The bloodstains on its paws made Ruan Mianmian feel extremely distressed.
"You need to know when to stop, okay? If you feel tired or in pain while doing something, you should stop. You're still young, and besides, these stone vats don't all have to be finished today. I'm very worried about what you're doing."
Ruan Mianmian's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded particularly clear next to the empty pile of rocks. Tu and the others lowered their heads, feeling that they had displeased the goddess.
At this moment, Sen and the others also followed the scent and came over. When they saw Ruan Mianmian like this, they thought something had happened.
"What's wrong? What made the goddess unhappy?"
Yu looked down at the little beastmen in front of him and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Ruan Mianmian quickly waved her hand. "I just told them not to work so hard."
Mori also breathed a sigh of relief, "You too, the goddess was worried that you would get hurt. You're all so tired, go and rest."
The little beasts nodded and obediently crawled to the side to rest.
Looking at their well-behaved appearance, Ruan Mianmian felt a warm current rise in her heart.
"Thank you for making this stone vat for me, I really like it," she said with a smile.
The little beastmen all smiled happily upon hearing this.
They felt that being able to serve the goddess was a blessing.
Both Sen and Yu looked at the dozen or so stone vats in front of them with surprise.
These are the containers the little female was talking about? Why didn't they know to do this before?
