Chapter 404 Rewarding Merit
When the orc army returned, night had already fallen, all was quiet, with only a few stars twinkling faintly.
When the last orc stepped into the cave, the clock had already quietly struck midnight.
Sen stood at the cave entrance, solemnly counting the number of people. His sharp gaze swept over each returning orc warrior, and only after confirming that no one was missed did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Then, he waved his hand and shouted, "Alright, brothers! You've all worked hard today. Now go back to your rooms and rest. We'll discuss and reward you when the leader wakes up tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered with joy. Their faces beamed with tired yet satisfied smiles as they headed towards their houses.
Soon, only Yu and Sen remained in front of the once noisy cave.
"Yu," Sen turned to Yu beside him and said softly, "In the coming days, spend more time thoroughly checking out this area. You know, Ruan Ruan is about to give birth, so we absolutely cannot afford any mishaps at this time."
Upon hearing this, Yu quickly nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Sen. Starting tomorrow, Kun and I will take turns patrolling outside to ensure that no danger gets near our tribe."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist tightly, showing his firm determination.
Looking at the orc who had walked with him all the way, Sen couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.
He tilted his head slightly, glanced at the pitch-black night sky outside, then gently patted Yu's shoulder and said earnestly, "Well, that's good. You've worked hard, go and get some rest."
Yu bowed to Sen, then turned and walked towards his house. Moonlight shone on his broad back, casting a long shadow...
The next day, after waking up, Ruan Mianmian first took out the fish she had caught. Autumn weather is perfect for drying things, and these fish needed to be killed and dried quickly so that there would be more food for winter.
The beaver tribe is skilled at handling aquatic products, so they are responsible for the fish and shrimp.
At the same time, Ruan Mianmian also took out a large portion of the deer she had captured in the hunting grounds and had the orcs process them, drying them into jerky for easy storage.
After that, it was time to reward those who had contributed.
Ruan Mianmian first affirmed the tribespeople's contributions, and then praised Yan and Mao for their bravery in fighting the enemy. Since Yan and Mao had joined the tribe later, their sense of honor was extremely strong at this moment, and their smiles almost stretched to their ears.
Ruan Mianmian didn't show favoritism. Since they were all orcs from the same tribe and had performed well on this trip, she gave each of them a Bone Strengthening Pill.
This was what she had exchanged with a merchant on the exchange platform a few days ago. Thanks to her generosity and the spirit stones she had given, the merchant specially refined several batches of different kinds of pills for her based on her situation.
This bone-strengthening pill is one of them.
Although Yan didn't know what it was, he knew that what the leader had taken out couldn't be an ordinary thing. He swallowed it as soon as he got his hands on it.
The orcs in the tribe who had eaten pills before knew the benefits of this thing, and they quickly swallowed it as well.
The other orcs, seeing this, stamped their feet in regret, "If only I had known there were pills, I would have fought tooth and nail to get a spot!"
"That's right! Our leader is too generous."
"Ugh, I'm so angry!"
……
Upon hearing this, Mao and the other hyenas quickly swallowed the pills in their hands, fearing that other orcs would snatch them away.
But as soon as they swallowed it, their eyes widened immediately.
This...this is a miracle?
