Chapter 139 Rescuing the Baby Elephant
While Ruan Mianmian went back to her tent to change her clothes, the elephant herd looked at Yong in astonishment.
He just mentioned a goddess, right? A goddess? The legendary goddess?
Daman looked at Yong with disbelief and said, "That weak female is the goddess?"
Yong smiled understandingly at their incredulous expressions and said, "She is a goddess, and also the chieftain of our Eastern Tribe. Daman, I will no longer be the Wolf King or the leader of the Wolf Clan. I have joined the Eastern Tribe, and you will see the strength of our tribe."
After Yong finished speaking, he also demonstrated the strength of his tribe to them.
In fact, he doesn't need to show it; the temperature in the cave alone is enough to tell you how wealthy this tribe is.
The fiery red stone in the center of the hall also showed signs of something unusual.
Daman is a female who has been an adult for a long time. The elephant tribe has passed down the legend of the goddess, and the former tribal chief has left behind a sentence that can only be known by the leader of the elephant herd.
It seems that the saying is about to come true!
Just as they were marveling at it, Ruan Mianmian emerged fully equipped.
She was wearing a ski suit, ski hat, and helmet, and was carrying a strange board in her hand.
"I'm ready, let's go!"
At Ruan Mianmian's command, everyone got ready to go out and search for the baby elephant.
"Sen, you stay in the cave this time. You and Yu can go. That location is a bit special; only flying beastmen can go there." Ruan Mianmian quickly stopped Sen when she saw him wanting to go out with her.
Sen's eyes flickered as he heard her words, then he patted Ruan Mianmian's hair and said, "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."
Hearing what he said, Ruan Mianmian smiled sweetly and said, "You know my abilities, don't worry."
"Yong, Yu. The leader is in your care now. Her safety is the top priority." Sen led them toward the cave entrance, giving them instructions as they went.
"Don't worry, even if I die, the leader won't lose a single hair!" Yong jumped into the air and transformed back into his original form, speaking to Sen.
Yu and Kun, along with other orcs, swore to protect their leader with their lives, and the elephant tribe also expressed their commitment to taking good care of the goddess, assuring him that he could rest assured.
Sen watched their departing figures and stood at the cave entrance for a very long time.
Ruan Mianmian lay on Yong's back as they crossed a blizzard.
Snowflakes, as white as goose feathers, fluttered down, as if covering the whole world with a thick white veil, making it impossible to see the road ahead.
“Go left, then climb up that slope ahead.” Ruan Mianmian sat on Yong’s back, her voice muffled by the blizzard, but still firm and clear.
Using the system's familiarity with the terrain, she guided everyone forward.
The road ahead was a vast expanse of white, as if we had entered an endless white world.
The wind and snow were fierce, and small pieces of ice were hitting them in the face, making it difficult for them to open their eyes and see the road ahead.
At this moment, the wolves had all grown to enormous sizes, and they were leading the way alongside the elephants.
The elephants are as large as small mountains. When they stand in front, they are like a solid wall, effectively protecting everyone from fierce winds and snow.
Visibility was extremely low in the blizzard, and they could only move forward by feeling and experience.
Every step was fraught with uncertainty, but they followed Ruan Mianmian's instructions closely, hoping to find the baby elephant as soon as possible.
Once you reach the top of the hill, there's a huge ditch below.
“The baby elephant is down there. I will lead the way now, and you will follow me.”
After speaking, Ruan Mianmian gestured for Yong to put her down.
Yong lowered his head, and Ruan Mianmian slid off his head. Then she suddenly took out the board she had seen in the cave, as well as two sticks.
The elephant people stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, their mouths agape, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
They even forgot to breathe, as if time had stopped.
“What… is that?” a young elephant tribesman stammered.
“I…I don’t know,” replied another older elephant-type orc.
Ruan Mianmian didn't care what they thought. She put on her goggles and skis, and then darted off in a flash.
The orcs had never seen anything like this before. They didn't know what skis were, they only knew that the goddess had suddenly run far away, leaving them to chase after her.
After Yong saw Ruan Mianmian slide down, he chased after her, and everyone else started running after her as well.
But the more they ran, the more frightened they became!
As expected of a goddess, she runs so fast even in this freezing weather!
They saw Ruan Mianmian's figure speeding across the snow like lightning, raising a flurry of snowflakes wherever she went.
Her speed was astonishing.
The orcs, panting heavily, tried their best to keep up with Ruan Mianmian's pace.
They were filled with awe and their curiosity and reverence for this mysterious goddess grew ever stronger.
Unable to fly due to the snowstorm, Yu and Kun were now riding on the backs of the wolf-men, chasing after Ruan Mianmian. They felt a surge of pride seeing their leader running so fast through the snowstorm.
Yu even felt a little smug, because Sen couldn't see a leader like this!
After running for an unknown amount of time, Ruan Mianmian gradually stopped. With a graceful turn, she came to a stop in the middle of the snow.
“There’s a small cliff ahead, we can’t go any further,” Ruan Mianmian said, pointing to the cliff behind her.
Everyone looked at the vast expanse of white before them and felt a wave of fear.
Without their leader's instructions, they would all have fallen by now. In such frigid weather, any further injury would mean certain death.
At this point, the elephant herd recognized the terrain; the side of this hillside was where they had lost their calf.
“My baby must be here, she slid down! How come we didn’t notice this slope!” Daman’s regretful voice came, and everyone could hear the remorse and sadness in his voice.
"Don't even mention you, we can't see anything either. It's all white, who can see clearly!" Yong couldn't help but comfort her when he heard her words.
“Exactly, if it weren’t for the leader, we wouldn’t have known there was a road here.”
"That's it, you can't see it at all!"
"The visibility is too low; we really can't see anything."
……
Everyone offered their own words of comfort to the elephant herd.
Ruan Mianmian zoomed in on the system map to confirm the baby elephant's exact location.
The orcs could only see her fingers tapping incessantly in the air, and none of them dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the goddess.
"Found it!" Ruan Mianmian said happily, pointing to a spot.
Everyone was happy to hear that she had found it.
"Yu, Kun. It's up to you two now. Little Elephant's leg is injured, so only you two can work hard to bring her up. She's at the bottom of the cliff, and going down this way will get you to her spot."
Ruan Mianmian first bought a medium-sized hunting net from the system store, and then pointed to a place next to her, indicating that Yu and the others should go down from there.
"Yu and Kun will each hold one side of this net and slowly lift the baby elephant up." After saying that, he demonstrated how to use the hunting net to them.
Yu and Kun have now both returned to their original forms.
On the snow, a majestic golden eagle and a rather large eagle were carefully holding the hunting net, indicating that they understood how to use it.
As they were about to descend the cliff, Ruan Mianmian called out to them.
She took out two bags, opened them, and poured something into each of their mouths.
The elephants looked on in bewilderment, but the orcs from the Eastern tribes, who were familiar with steamed buns and their effects, were green with envy!
The chief is really generous with so many steamed buns!
Yu and Kun ate their steamed buns, feeling a warm current flowing into their bodies. They knew this was a special treat their leader had given them to ensure their safety.
"Thank you, Chief!" After wolfing down their food, the two grabbed the net and flew down the cliff.
After seeing them fly down, Ruan Mianmian rushed over and shouted towards the bottom of the cliff, "Be careful!"
The sound echoed in the air, gradually being drowned out by the wind and snow.
