Chapter 55 Let's go hunting together
The night the wall was built, Sen and Yu slept exceptionally well.
This was a rare, comfortable sleep for them during the colder weather they had experienced in many years.
No longer do we need to stand guard at the cave entrance all night to protect everyone from the wind and rain. Nor do we need to worry about the cold night wind.
Now, they can safely hide behind the wall and enjoy a warm and peaceful night's sleep.
Ruan Mianmian also had a wonderful night.
She carefully selected a sleeping bag and bought a pure cashmere blanket in the mall.
As she lay in the soft down sleeping bag, feeling the warmth and comfort, she felt as if she were floating on a cloud.
The warmth captivated her, making the cashmere blanket seem superfluous.
The next morning, when everyone opened the door, the sight before them amazed them.
A thin layer of white frost had covered the outside of the cave, making it look like a world covered in silver.
This clearly foreshadows the approaching winter, as nature gradually reveals its stark side.
Ruan Mianmian stepped out of the cave, took a light breath, and saw white mist drifting out of her mouth.
She gazed at the valley covered in frost, a sense of desolation welling up inside her.
Sen slowly swam out of the cave, the sudden drop in temperature making him feel very uncomfortable.
He looked up at the sky, which was gloomy and looked like it would soon snow heavily.
He couldn't help but think back to last winter, when they had no food and no warm shelter and had a very difficult time.
"We need to hurry up and prepare winter supplies," Sen said, turning to Yu behind him.
Yu nodded. "I'll have the little orc find some dry grass and wood to make the cave as warm as possible."
Ruan Mianmian looked at them, a thought suddenly occurring to her. "I think we can go hunting first. The little beastmen in the tribe can split up. Some of the capable ones can go and cut reeds to make insulation. Some can go and find dead wood or firewood. And some of the capable hunters can go and hunt nearby, bringing back whatever food they can find. Meanwhile, you and I will go to the outskirts of the valley to hunt and catch as much prey as possible."
Sen and Yu exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes. "That's a great idea! Listen up, everyone, just do as the goddess says. Tu, take those little beastmen who can dig holes to collect dead wood and firewood, and bring back any large logs you find. Kun, take some of the beastmen who can hunt nearby, and bring back any game they find, or ripe fruit, anything edible. The remaining little beastmen can join the hunting teams to cut reeds nearby, and when the goddess returns, she'll lead us in weaving warm curtains."
So everyone got busy preparing for the coming winter.
Several groups set off separately, heading in different directions.
Sen and Yu led Ruan Mianmian toward the beaver tribe, where there were abundant aquatic resources. Although they didn't like to eat them, they could bring some back if the little females wanted to.
Along the way, they carefully avoided the territories of other tribes.
Finally, they arrived at the riverbank. The water was crystal clear, and fish swam freely in it.
Sen and Yu jumped into the river and started catching fish. Ruan Mianmian, on the other hand, collected some aquatic plants and shellfish on the bank.
Before long, they had a large pile of food.
"Looks like I'm having a lucky day," Yu said with a smile.
"Yes, this is enough for our tribe to eat for several days." Sen also showed a satisfied smile.
They continued walking forward, where the plains met the forest, a place frequented by many wild animals.
Sen and Yu led Ruan Mianmian forward carefully. Where they couldn't see, Ruan Mianmian used the map search function so she could know in advance what dangers were nearby.
"Sen, go to the left. There's a herd of bison behind that grove of trees, the mooing herd you mentioned. If we go and catch them all, we won't have to worry about meat this winter."
Sen and Yu exchanged a glance and silently followed the direction Ruan Mianmian had indicated.
Not long after, a large group of Mumu beasts gathered behind the trees.
This is a small waterhole; bison like water, so they stop here temporarily.
"Ruan Ruan, how can we capture all of these Moo Moo Beasts?"
Ruan Mianmian smiled slightly, already having a plan in mind.
She bought the largest hunting net from the mall. This kind of net is usually used to catch large wild animals. Ruan Mianmian also bought some steamed buns and vegetables at the mall. These lush green vegetables were particularly eye-catching in the cold late autumn.
Ruan Mianmian had Sen and Yu spread the huge net near the bison herd, then threw steamed buns and some vegetables in the center of the net. Soon after, many bison came running after smelling the scent.
Ruan Mianmian told Sen and Yu to stay away because their scent was very strong, and the Moo Moo Beasts would run away quickly if they smelled it.
Sen and Yu had to go a little further away, but they kept their eyes on the area at all times, and would rush over as soon as they spotted any danger.
Ruan Mianmian held the terminal of the hunting net in her hand. After the bison stepped into the giant net, she pulled it back sharply, and the bison were stored in her storage space.
This skill only appeared after the system was upgraded; she can use her mind to freely collect anything within a 20-meter radius of herself.
When the bison stepped into the hunting net, they had already entered Ruan Mianmian's capture range, so they were easily caught.
Sen and Yu, who were watching from a distance, were stunned by what they saw.
Is this how the little female hunts? If so, what can't she do?
Just now, six or seven bison stepped into the hunting net, and they were so easily caught by the little female.
It was so easy, without lifting a finger.
Ruan Mianmian used the same trick again, placing a lot of vegetables and fruits in the middle of the hunting net, and then herds of bison came over one after another and were caught by Ruan Mianmian.
By the end, Sen and Yu were numb; in their hearts, Ruan Mianmian had become omnipotent.
Before noon, they had already harvested a large herd of Moo Moo beasts, enough meat to feed them for a long time.
But Ruan Mianmian found a lot of potatoes on the map.
The thought of roasted potatoes, braised potatoes, and potato pancakes made her mouth water.
Then, Sen and Yu followed her instructions and moved forward. At this moment, they were emotionless machines, only responsible for the safety along the way. As for prey, it was not a consideration for them at all. There was really no room for them to play their part!
