Chapter 450 Departure for the Snow Mountain
"Yong, Yu, Daman, Mu, Mao, Lie, Jiang, Zhong, Zhuang. You are the chieftains of your respective tribes. I have said that each tribe is under your jurisdiction. From now on, if any tribe has a problem, I will hold your chieftain accountable. My tribes do not need weaklings, only warriors!"
Upon hearing this, Yong and Yu knelt down to pledge their loyalty, promising to strengthen management and ensure that such a situation would never happen again.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian's tone softened slightly, "Starting tomorrow, the strong orcs will go out hunting, while the old, weak, sick, and disabled will stay in the tribe to do logistical work."
The orcs responded in unison, "Yes, Chief!"
It's now the last month of winter, and spring will soon arrive with warmer weather and flowers blooming. So, the beastmen can go hunting without any problem.
Last year, she took pity on her people and waited until after winter before they began hunting. Now it seems that blindly giving isn't a good thing; the beastmen still need to train more and survive according to their traditional habits.
In the days that followed, the tribe re-established a strict system of rewards and punishments. The previously lazy orcs gradually became diligent and proactive, and life in the Eastern tribes returned to vitality, becoming even more prosperous and orderly than before.
After settling things in the tribe, Ruan Mianmian and Sen led the Snow Beast family and a team of fifty beastmen from the tribe toward the snow mountain.
Of course, the two cubs, Xiao Jin and Xiao Hong, also went along. Ruan Mianmian would not let her cubs be separated from her. Although it was freezing cold outside, she had an incubator. The system's products were always of the highest quality, so she didn't have to worry about the cubs getting cold.
For this trip, Ruan Mianmian didn't bring those restless orcs with her. Instead, she brought along orcs like Yan, Zhuang, Meng, and Yu. It could be said that she didn't bring any of the chieftains.
Of course, Yu was an exception. In her heart, Yu was a reliable and special existence, not among those beastmen.
Her departure this time was intentional; she wanted to see if these groups, or rather the people who lead them, would change after she left.
Besides, with Zhi and Yong watching over the tribe, she felt at ease. If the beastmen in the tribe rioted, she could easily abandon them. Because in Ruan Mianmian's mind, once unfaithful, always untrustworthy.
She used to think everyone was kind and loyal to the tribe, and she was willing to give everything to help the orcs in the tribe. But the old saying about the farmer and the snake is a perfect example; never expect some people to learn gratitude. Your efforts are taken for granted by them, and she doesn't want to be bitten in return one day.
So, taking advantage of this trip to the snow mountain, she intentionally left people in the tribe to keep an eye on each other. That way, if anyone did develop disloyalty, she could easily come back and deal with them.
And so the group continued their journey towards the snow-capped mountain. Along the way, Sen vigilantly observed their surroundings, wary of any sudden dangers. Ruan Mianmian, meanwhile, carried the incubator, glancing occasionally at the adorable little Jin and Xiao Hong inside.
As they walked into a valley, they suddenly heard a deep roar coming from within. It turned out that a huge snow bear was blocking their path.
This snow bear was enormous, its snow-white fur standing on end like steel needles. The orcs tensed up, and Sen stood at the front, ready to face the battle.
However, Ruan Mianmian gestured for everyone not to move. She took out some honey that she had stored in the system space and placed it not far from the snow bear.
The snow bear, attracted by the scent of honey, slowly approached and began to lick it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the group carefully bypassed it and continued on their way.
"If we can avoid fighting, we should try to do so. Although we outnumber them, their strength is not to be underestimated. A problem that can be solved with a jar of honey, why make a big fuss?" Ruan Mianmian explained to everyone. In her opinion, it would be better to go up the snow mountain to pick snow lotus sooner rather than get injured in a fight!
They traveled along the way, stopping and starting, and because of Sen, this ancestral beastman, most of the beastmen or animals didn't dare to cause trouble, so their journey was very smooth.
As they drew closer to the snow-capped mountain, the snow beasts ran joyfully ahead. Soon they would be home, back to the place where they were born!
