Chapter 271 Limestone
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the leaves and dappled the cave entrance with light and shadow.
Everyone sat around inside the cave, with fragrant roasted meat laid out in front of them. After enjoying the meal, they all got up and prepared to follow the chief to dig for limestone.
The reason for using "digging" instead of "searching" is that in everyone's hearts, Ruan Mianmian, this wise and powerful leader, has never let them down, as if she can easily find and control everything in the world.
Last night, the entire tribe was abuzz with excitement when the decision was made to send people out to dig for limestone.
The orcs were eager to follow their leader out on adventures, hoping not only to broaden their horizons but also to potentially earn merit and the respect and praise of their people.
However, the tribe cannot be left unattended; someone must stay behind to protect their homeland.
Therefore, the question of who should stay and who should leave instantly became a difficult problem for everyone.
Of the two flying orcs in the tribe, Feather and Kun, one will go with the group, while the other will stay in the tribe in case of emergency.
After all, in emergency situations, the speed advantage of flying orcs can play a huge role, enabling them to quickly transmit messages or take appropriate actions.
Furthermore, since this excavation mission requires immense strength to move heavy limestone, all three earth-type orcs will undoubtedly be brought along.
At the same time, several powerful orcs need to be selected to ensure the smooth progress of the work.
After careful selection, Ruan Mianmian finally decided to lead fifty orcs out to dig.
Sen and Yong are two generals in the tribe. Due to Sen's selfishness, Yong was left behind to guard the tribe, while Sen went out with Ruan Mianmian as a guard.
When Miyue saw Yong's slightly aggrieved expression, she smiled and comforted him, saying, "You also have to create opportunities for the leader and Sen. The leader should have some males too."
Upon hearing Miyue's words, Yong snorted and said, "They've gone out to work."
Miyue gently tapped Yong's head, "You silly boy, feelings are cultivated slowly."
Here, Ruan Mianmian led her team to set off.
Throughout the journey, Sen remained vigilant, keeping a close watch on his surroundings.
The three earth-type orcs walked at the front, observing the changes in the soil.
The leader had told them that earth-based abilities were not just a single power; they could also become their hands and eyes, enabling them to do many more things for them.
The flying orc Feather patrolled back and forth in the air, checking for any potential dangers.
Meanwhile, the other powerful orcs traveling with them were excitedly discussing the trip.
Ruan Mianmian sat on Sen's head, occasionally observing the location on the map.
Yesterday, she found a limestone deposit by searching the map, right next to a large lake.
After walking for about two hours, they finally arrived at their destination.
Indeed, it was next to a large lake. He had been to this place before, but he didn't know that there were things that the little females needed here.
Ruan Mianmian squinted again, carefully examining the surrounding environment. After some deliberation, she finally determined the most ideal mining location.
Then, she turned around and said to the earth-dwelling soldiers who had been waiting beside her, "This should be the best location. I'll leave the mining work to you now!"
Upon hearing the command, the earth-type beastmen quickly sprang into action.
With their innate sensitivity to the land, they quickly and accurately pinpointed the specific mining location.
Immediately afterwards, a vigorous and intense work began.
The orcs were working together with great enthusiasm. Some were digging the ground with their strong arms, while others were carrying the excavated soil and rocks. The atmosphere was lively and exciting.
Sen stayed close to Ruan Mianmian from beginning to end, like her shadow, never leaving her side.
He would occasionally lean close to Ruan Mianmian and ask softly, "Ruan Ruan, is there anything you need? Just tell me if you need anything."
Ruan Mianmian naturally understood Sen's feelings, but at this moment, all she could think about was how to collect enough limestone as soon as possible to bring back to the tribe to improve everyone's living conditions.
So she smiled and replied, "Thank you, Sen, but I'm free right now, let's get back to work!"
As the mining work proceeded in an orderly manner, it wasn't long before Tu excitedly ran over carrying several whitish stones.
He approached Ruan Mianmian, carefully handed her the stones, and asked expectantly, "Chief, are these the limestone you mentioned before?"
Ruan Mianmian took the stone, examined it carefully for a moment, and then nodded in satisfaction, replying, "That's right, this is exactly the limestone we're looking for! Soil, you've done a great job! Now, you can work a little harder and dig a slightly deeper pit here. We'll be burning limestone here in a bit."
Overjoyed to receive a positive response, Tu immediately turned around and threw himself into the new task.
