Chapter 314 Outskirts of the Lala Mountains
After a whole day of non-stop travel, the group of orcs finally arrived at the outer edge of the Lala Mountains.
Looking at the lush, boundless forest before her, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but feel a strong sense of awe.
Those towering trees pierced the sky, as if they were about to break through the heavens, which was breathtaking.
Recalling the scene when she first transmigrated to this world, Ruan Mianmian was only thinking about how to escape, and had no time to pay attention to the surrounding environment and scenery.
Now, when she truly calms down and examines this mysterious mountain forest, she discovers that it hides countless unknown secrets and dangers.
Those trees were incredibly thick, requiring more than a dozen strong men to barely encircle and hug them.
The lush branches and leaves intertwine to form a green canopy, and sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, like beams of golden light.
In the dense bushes, small, unidentified insects darted about.
They are either brightly colored or strangely shaped, inspiring fear in people at first glance.
Just as Ruan Mianmian was lost in thought, captivated by the wondrous natural scenery, Sen quietly walked up to her, gently patted her shoulder, and said earnestly, "The Lala Mountains are a very dangerous place, fraught with peril at every turn. We must be extra careful!"
Hearing Sen's reminder, Ruan Mianmian suddenly came to her senses and quickly nodded in response, "Yes, I know, I will definitely pay more attention."
After saying that, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and followed everyone into this mysterious place.
As time went on, everyone began searching for suitable campsites along the outer edge of the mountains.
As they walked, the sharp-eyed wolf-orc spotted a hidden cave.
As the group approached to investigate, they found no traces of large wild beasts or wandering orcs around the cave.
So everyone decided to set up camp there.
Tu and Yuan led a few orcs to collect some hay to lay on the ground as beds, while the other orcs went out to hunt and forage for food.
“The Lala Mountains are different from other places. Miasma appears here from time to time, and the terrain is complicated and it is easy to get lost. You should lead your people not to go deeper into the mountains, but stay on the outer perimeter. If you really can’t catch any prey, the chief can clean up the mess. Just don’t go any further in.”
Sen watched as Ye led his men into the forest to hunt and couldn't help but offer some instructions.
Logically, since he was quite familiar with the Lala Mountains, he should have been the one leading the hunting party.
But it was precisely because of his understanding of this place that he dared not leave the little female cub here; he felt uneasy without his protection.
Upon hearing Mori's words, Ye nodded solemnly.
This is an area that the wolf-orcs have never set foot in before, so they should indeed be careful.
Ruan Mianmian was sitting on a dead tree branch, checking the information on the system page.
When she first transmigrated here, the system was still in its early stages, with many functions not yet unlocked. Moreover, she had to be constantly on her guard, so she didn't really have time to properly use the system to explore this place.
Looking at the information about the distribution of resources in the Lala Mountains in the system, Ruan Mianmian made up her mind.
She called to Lai Sen and pointed southeast, saying, "There might be plenty of prey there, and it's relatively safe. We can send the wild ones to check it out."
Mori told Hiroichi, who had stayed in the cave, that Hiroichi had said something, and Hiroichi let out a series of howls into the air. Soon after, the howls of wolves could be heard coming from not far away.
"Chief, I have conveyed your message to Ye, and he said he understands and can rest assured." Guang reported the news to his chief, and after seeing that Ruan Mianmian indicated that she understood, he went to find firewood to start a fire at night.
Ye led his people to the location as instructed by their chief, and sure enough, they found many plump wild rabbits and other small animals.
They easily hunted a lot of food and returned to camp in high spirits.
As night fell, the campfire roared to life.
The beastmen sat together to share the food, their laughter echoing through the valley.
As Ruan Mianmian ate her barbecue, she thought to herself that she must rely more on the system to explore this land in the future.
The beastmen recounted the strange tales that had happened on this land in the past. Ruan Mianmian was filled with anticipation for her future life here, temporarily forgetting the fatigue and hardships of her journey.
