Chapter 189 Everything Goes Smoothly
Yong, with his exceptionally keen ears, had long ago picked up the howling of the wolves, which grew louder and louder as they approached.
His face lit up with joy, and he immediately gathered the patrol members, rushing anxiously towards the valley entrance to welcome back their long-awaited leader.
Not long ago, as night fell and the sky grew darker, it was as if a huge and mysterious black curtain was slowly covering the earth.
Yong and his teammates exchanged glances, their hearts filled with worry.
They were torn between whether they should head to the vast plains to check on the situation, but they were also afraid of taking the wrong route.
Just as everyone was hesitating, a clear wolf howl suddenly came from afar.
The sound was like a bolt of lightning piercing the darkness, instantly illuminating the gloom in everyone's hearts.
In an instant, everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Not far away, Ruan Mianmian was leading a group of people, speeding towards them at breakneck speed.
Yong looked closely and a joyful smile spread across his face. He quickly rushed forward to meet her.
"Chief, did everything go smoothly on this trip?" Yong ran up to Ruan Mianmian and asked anxiously, his eyes fixed on her with concern.
Ruan Mianmian nodded slightly and said softly, "Well, it went smoothly enough. Let's go back to the cave first and talk in detail. This is not the place to talk."
As she spoke, she glanced around at her surroundings, a hint of wariness in her eyes.
Upon receiving the instructions, everyone crowded around Ruan Mianmian and headed into the valley.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the air along the way.
Those who had been anxiously waiting at the tribe's gate saw the large procession approaching from afar. When they recognized the leader as their own chief, they were so excited that they danced and cheered like children.
After all, for the entire tribe, the chief is their backbone and the guiding light leading them forward.
A tribe without a leader is like a soulless place, devoid of life.
"The chief is back!" With a loud shout, the entire tribe instantly erupted in cheers.
"Greetings, Chief!"
"You've worked hard, Chief!"
"leader……"
Greetings filled with warmth and respect rang out one after another, like a stirring symphony echoing in the air.
These sincere and enthusiastic voices reached Ruan Mianmian's ears like the warm sun in winter, instantly filling her somewhat weary heart with warmth.
She smiled and waved to the orcs, saying in a gentle yet firm voice, "I'm back."
These four simple words, however, acted like a stabilizing force, making every orc present feel incredibly at ease.
The crowd escorted the leader into the cave, and a warm atmosphere, like a spring breeze, swept over them.
This familiar warmth made the beastmen, who had just returned from the outside world and suffered from the hardships of wind and frost, breathe a long sigh of relief.
Although they had not suffered from hunger and cold while adventuring with their leader, at this moment they deeply felt that no matter how wonderful the outside world was, it could not compare to the warmth and comfort of their own tribe.
Sitting around the campfire, the people of their tribe couldn't wait to ask about the details of their trip.
Some of the orcs seemed particularly excited, gesturing wildly as they recounted the strange and wonderful things they had encountered along the way.
Some listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a word or two to express their own opinion.
The spirited orcs, unable to contain their excitement, immediately began to boast to everyone, making their already thrilling experience even more captivating.
Ruan Mianmian did not rush to participate, but went back to her tent to change her clothes first.
She gently unbuttoned her slightly dirty clothes and changed into a clean and tidy set of clothes.
Then she fetched a basin of clean water and carefully washed herself.
When she reappeared before everyone, she was completely transformed, radiating a fresh and natural charm.
Ruan Mianmian slowly walked towards the campfire, where a group of enthusiastic tribespeople were gathered.
She sat quietly to the side with a smile on her face, listening to everyone's conversation.
In the firelight, her beautiful face appeared even more radiant.
Hui poked at the firewood beside the campfire and smiled at Ruan Mianmian, saying, "Chief, you must be tired from your journey. How was the harvest this time?"
Speaking of her harvest, Ruan Mianmian suddenly remembered that she still had a whole bunch of rabbits in her storage space.
So she went to the storage area in the cave, waved her hand, and a bunch of rabbits of various colors fell to the ground.
"These are the foods we hunted this time. You can prepare them and marinate them first!"
The tribespeople's eyes lit up when they saw so many rabbits.
They immediately got to work, slaughtering, skinning, and cleaning the rabbit, then marinating it with salt.
Hui said happily, "These rabbits are enough for us to eat for several days! Thank you for your hard work, Chief."
Ruan Mianmian smiled and shook her head, indicating that this was the result of everyone's joint efforts.
She looked at her busy tribespeople and felt a sense of satisfaction.
