Chapter 309 Preparations in Advance
Knowing that the leader of this eastern tribe had a solution, the beaver tribe beastmen were incredibly excited all night.
After finishing the roasted meat and fish, the night grew deeper. Jiang looked at his cave, then at Ruan Mianmian and her group of orcs, and was at a loss.
As if sensing his predicament, Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "Jiang, you go and rest. We can rest here. It's getting hot, so it's fine."
Jiang rubbed his hands apologetically and said, "I apologize for the poor hospitality; you'll have to sleep here."
Ruan Mianmian smiled and told him not to worry about it and to go back to the cave to rest.
After Jiang left, Ye and his men dragged back two long, dead logs. Meng and several orcs smashed the two logs into pieces with a few punches and then put them into the campfire.
Although they didn't feel cold, the temperature difference at night was quite large, and the leader still needed a heat source.
Sen barely spoke all night. After seeing the little female yawn, he transformed into his beast form and coiled up.
"Ruan Ruan, come up and sleep."
Ruan Mianmian was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping. When she heard Sen's words, she drowsily climbed onto his warm back.
Sen used his tail to encircle her, preventing her from rolling off. The surrounding orcs gradually fell asleep, their breathing becoming even.
In the middle of the night, a soft rustling sound came from nearby. Sen immediately raised his head alertly, his tongue frantically searching the air. It turned out a small animal had wandered in by mistake. Sen breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down.
In the early morning, the sunlight shone on everyone.
Jiang arrived early with food, including some fresh fish and shrimp.
After waking up, Ruan Mianmian stretched and her eyes lit up when she saw the food. She'd been so focused on the fish that she'd completely forgotten about the shrimp!
Everyone sat together to enjoy breakfast and discuss the day's itinerary.
"Jiang, is that long-pinched worm you mentioned only found in part of the river, or is it distributed throughout the entire river?" Ruan Mianmian asked while eating, wondering where to start.
"It's mainly in our tribe's area because the water flow here isn't as rapid as upstream, and it's become a great habitat thanks to generations of our tribe's efforts to improve it. They probably think the environment here is better, so they're multiplying more and more."
Upon hearing Jiang's words, Ruan Mianmian understood the situation.
"Ye, take your people out in a bit and see if you can catch any Gugu Beasts. Of course, you don't need many, just two or three will do. If you really can't catch any, other small beasts will do."
Although Ruan Mianmian possesses these abilities within her spatial dimension, she does not intend to reveal them to outsiders.
Ye nodded after hearing this, quickly finished his roasted meat, and led six or seven tribesmen toward the plains.
"Jiang, you should be able to find those highly flexible vines around your tribe, right? I need a lot of vines to weave hunting nets."
Upon hearing this from the leader of the Eastern tribe, Jiang immediately ordered He to lead his people to search. Their teeth were extremely sharp, and the vines could be found and brought back.
Now all we have to do is wait. Once we have everything, we can make tools and then catch long-tailed bugs.
Not long after, Ye returned with his people, dragging three Gugu beasts along, their faces full of pride.
"Chief, we were lucky, we caught them quickly," Ye said.
Ruan Mianmian nodded in satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, He and his people returned laden with their spoils, bringing back a large quantity of highly flexible vines.
Ruan Mianmian began weaving a hunting net. Her skillful technique amazed the surrounding orcs.
Sen stood by, helping to pass him the vines, his eyes full of admiration.
"Um, Chief Dongfang, could you... could you teach our people this weaving method?"
Jiang stood awkwardly to the side, feeling quite uneasy. The Eastern Clan Chief had kindly helped them solve their problem, yet he had shamelessly hoped the chief would teach his people weaving techniques.
You see, orc tribes all have their own traditions, and this weaving method is one of them, generally not passed on to outsiders. He admitted it was somewhat presumptuous, but considering the long-standing problem plaguing his tribe, he mustered the courage to speak up.
Ruan Mianmian was engrossed in knitting when she suddenly heard Jiang's words. She glanced at Jiang in surprise.
Upon that one glance, Jiang hurriedly said, embarrassed, "I, I was just saying. If the Eastern leader is willing to teach us, we are willing to pay any price to learn. Of course, if you are not willing, we understand. I was just saying, just saying."
Seeing Jiang's nervous expression, Ruan Mianmian chuckled softly. "Jiang, there's no need to be so nervous. This weaving method isn't something that can't be passed on."
The surrounding beastmen all showed expressions of surprise upon hearing this.
Jiang's eyes widened in disbelief.
“However, I have one condition,” Ruan Mianmian continued.
Jiang quickly straightened up, "Please, go ahead and say it."
"I hope that our two tribes can help each other in the future. If one side is in trouble, the other side must not stand idly by. Also, this weaving method can only be passed on to people of our own tribe and must not be passed on to others."
Jiang nodded repeatedly, "Of course, we will definitely keep our promise." The other beaver beastmen also expressed their agreement.
Ruan Mianmian then patiently began to teach the beaver tribe's orcs how to weave hunting nets.
She explained each step in detail and demonstrated each movement.
The beaver tribe beastmen studied diligently, asking questions from time to time.
Under Ruan Mianmian's guidance, the beaver tribe's beastmen gradually mastered the techniques.
Before long, they were able to weave simple hunting nets.
Looking at the achievements of his people, Jiang looked at Ruan Mianmian with gratitude, "Clan Chief Dongfang, thank you so much. We will never forget your kindness to our clan."
Ruan Mianmian responded with a smile, and the friendship between the two ethnic groups deepened at that moment.
