Chapter 366 The Rainy Season Arrives
In the middle of the night, the thunder roared so loudly that it seemed as if the earth was about to crack open.
Ruan Mianmian was awakened from her sleep, and it was the first time she had directly experienced what a real rainy season was like.
Raindrops the size of ping-pong balls pounded the ground, even creating small craters in some of the softer soil. Even the toughest orcs couldn't withstand such weather.
Sen held her in his arms, gently covering her ears with his hands, and said, "This is how the weather is at the beginning of the rainy season. The thunder will last a long time. You can continue to sleep."
Because he reverted to his ancestral form and transformed into a dragon, Sen's body was no longer cold. Moreover, he possessed dual ice and fire elemental abilities, allowing him to effectively control his body temperature.
When he realized that the temperature inside the cave was low, Sen automatically warmed his body. This warm body made Ruan Mianmian want to stay inside.
So Sen simply wrapped the little female in the blanket and slept with her against the tent all night.
When I woke up the next day, there was intermittent thunder outside, and large raindrops were still pounding on the ground. Because the cave was located in a low-lying area and drainage ditches had been dug in the valley, there was no water accumulation for the time being.
But it's hard to say about tribes like the hyenas and lions.
Ruan Mianmian felt the dampness and coldness in the cave. After asking for everyone's opinions, she released a huge fire crystal in the center of the cave, which immediately reduced the dampness in the cave.
The beastmen lay lazily on the earthen beds, doing nothing. It wasn't their fault; who could go out in this weather? And who would dare to go out!
Because of the lack of activity, people's appetites have also decreased. So, the three meals a day that used to be served have been reduced to two meals a day.
Just as everyone was getting bored, Mori suddenly stood up. "I'll go see if there are any small animals trapped by the rain nearby, and catch some to improve everyone's meals."
The orcs' eyes lit up when they heard this.
Sen glanced at Ruan Mianmian, who was looking at him with concern. He smiled and said it was nothing.
As soon as Sen Gang stepped out of the cave, large raindrops pelted him, but he vanished in a flash.
A short while later, he returned with a moose. Ruan Mianmian quickly went over and used a dry cloth to wipe the raindrops off his body.
Aside from the food stored in Ruan Mianmian's own system space, there is almost no fresh meat in the cave now. Everyone took advantage of the rainy season to dry the meat into jerky for storage.
With fresh ingredients, the beastmen were also motivated.
Several females skilled in cooking began preparing food, and a long-lost aroma filled the cave.
Everyone sat together to enjoy the food, and the atmosphere became lively, as if they had forgotten the terrible weather outside.
After the meal, the rain suddenly intensified, with raindrops pattering down like firecrackers.
Looking at the weather, Ruan Mianmian was also glad that she had transmigrated at the right time. If she had transmigrated during the rainy season, she would have either frozen to death or been pelted to death by the raindrops.
The little beastmen in the cave were running around playing, and Ruan Mianmian still crushed several sand crystals for them to play with, and everyone was extremely happy.
The females were talking about the cubs. The cubs born last winter are now over six months old, and they are gradually growing bigger. When they are four years old, they will be able to speak.
Zhi was divining in a corner of the cave. The weather was unusual this rainy season, and they were worried that it would cause floods and disasters.
At this moment, he sat in the cave, staring blankly at the fiery red stone that had suddenly appeared in the center of the cave.
He knew that the tribal chief was now the Beast God, but knowing it was one thing, seeing it with his own eyes was another.
He even touched the stone himself; it was warm to the touch and felt exceptionally comfortable. He had never seen a stone like it before; not only was its color unusual, but the fact that it generated heat was also unheard of.
He was once again amazed by the power of the Eastern tribes, but at the same time, he worried about his original ape tribe.
However, now that he had left, his worries were merely that—worries. He was now a member of the Eastern tribe, and he had sworn to serve his current leader to the death. Therefore, even his worries could not shake his resolve to remain loyal to the tribe.
Days passed by like this, from dawn to dusk and then back to dawn, the rain falling softly, sometimes heavy, sometimes light.
