Chapter 306 First Encounter with the Beaver Beastman
After leaving the potato field, the group walked for about half an hour until they reached a fork in a river.
Seeing that everyone looked tired, Ruan Mianmian told them to rest there and prepare for lunch.
After all, a morning of hunting and walking was quite tiring.
Ruan Mianmian tossed a piece of Moo Moo beast meat from her system space for her tribesmen to process, while she observed the surrounding area.
The beastmen had a clear division of labor: some slaughtered animals for meat, while others gathered firewood.
With Sen protecting their leader, they had nothing to worry about.
Just then, the orc in charge of gathering firewood rushed back and said he had discovered some strange plants.
Curious, Ruan Mianmian followed to investigate and saw that the plant looked like a giant mushroom, with tiny fluorescent spots under its cap.
None of the beastmen in the tribe had ever seen such a thing before. Ruan Mianmian had an idea and activated the system's scanning function.
It turns out that this is a rare flavoring plant that can make food more delicious and also has certain nourishing effects.
Ruan Mianmian carefully picked some and brought them back to the riverbank. By this time, the moo moo beast meat had been almost processed and was sizzling and dripping oil on the fire.
She crushed the peculiar plant and sprinkled it on the grilled meat, instantly filling the air with its aroma.
Everyone gathered around, drawn by the aroma, their eyes filled with anticipation.
When the roasted meat was tasted, everyone showed expressions of surprise and praised Ruan Mianmian for bringing something new and delicious again.
As they ate, they kept feeling like something was watching them.
After giving Sen a look, Ruan Mianmian pretended to be nonchalant and continued eating her barbecue.
Sen then quietly slipped into the river to see who was spying on them.
Ye and the others also sensed that something was wrong, and they all tensed up, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Sen swam underwater for a while and discovered a hand with sharp claws peeking out from behind the rocks on the shore.
Sen suddenly burst out of the water and grabbed that hand.
With a scream, a little orc, soaking wet, was dragged ashore.
Everyone crowded around.
The little orc looked terrified, his body trembling slightly, and his big eyes stared nervously at the crowd that had gathered around him.
His lips trembled, and he managed to squeeze out a few words through his teeth: "I...I am a beastman from the Beaver Clan. I really didn't mean any harm! I just couldn't resist the smell of roasted meat coming from here, so I ran over."
After some questioning, everyone learned that the beaver clan had always lived in the lower reaches of this river.
Due to their remote location and the introverted and shy nature of their people, they have very little interaction with the outside world.
Within the beaver tribe, people generally eat various kinds of raw fish, clam meat, and other aquatic products as their daily staple food.
They had almost never heard of roasted meat.
And the little orc in front of him had never had the chance to taste such tempting roasted meat.
Today, I happened to smell a fragrance in the air and followed the scent, and unexpectedly encountered Ruan Mianmian and her group.
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the little beastman, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
She smiled slightly, deftly cut off a fragrant piece of roasted meat, and handed it to the little orc.
The little orc hesitated for a moment, then carefully took the piece of roasted meat and put it in his mouth, chewing it gently.
In that instant, his eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent.
He mumbled incoherently, "It's so delicious! I never knew there was such a tasty thing!"
After finishing his meal, the little beastman licked his lips with lingering satisfaction, looking at Ruan Mianmian and the others with anticipation in his eyes.
Then, he mustered his courage and extended a sincere invitation to everyone: "Would you like to visit our tribe? Although our tribe is small, we have a lot of fresh fish. If you'd like, we can exchange these fish for more roasted meat!"
Ruan Mianmian looked up at the sky. The sun had begun to set in the west, and the sky was gradually turning dusky.
However, when she saw the little orc's hopeful face, her heart softened, and she smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's set off now!"
So, the group followed the excited little beastman on their journey to the beaver tribe.
