Chapter 181 Trip Preparations
Before dinner, Mori and Yu finally decided on the people who would be going on the trip tomorrow.
Because there are still many cubs and pregnant females in the tribe, the task of protecting the tribe was entrusted to Yong.
Sen accompanied Ruan Mianmian on this trip, which was also his own selfish reason.
Because Ruan Mianmian had requested beforehand that earth-type beastmen and strength-type beastmen be included in the journey, a detailed personnel allocation was made for this.
Currently, the tribe has two earth-type ability users: Pangolin Earth and Groundhog Far. These two are definitely going!
There were already quite a few strength-type orcs in the tribe, and now with the addition of the elephant herd, the number of orcs has increased dramatically.
"Daman, I suggest that your group members stay in the cave and protect the tribe during this trip!"
After thinking for a long time, Sen realized that there were still many orcs in his tribe, so he made a suggestion.
Daman, hearing Sen's words, said anxiously, "Why? Our group has the most strength-type orcs!"
Yong looked closely at Sen, a hint of worry in his eyes. He continued, "Daman, you orcs with strength-based abilities may be able to handle various situations with your powerful strength on ordinary days, but facing the harsh environment of tomorrow's freezing snow, your beast forms may not be able to withstand such severe cold. If you encounter an accident outside, that would be troublesome."
Hearing Yong's concerned words, Daman felt a mix of emotions. She lowered her head silently and fell into deep thought.
Indeed, although the overall physical condition of the orcs has been greatly improved, the weakness of the elephant orcs in being intolerant to the cold remains a major hidden danger.
"For the strength type, I think Black Bear Meng, Gray Wolf Jin, and Black Wolf Jie are the most suitable. Our trip is just for exploration, not a large-scale operation, so we don't need too many people. These three are enough."
Sen narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly recalling the situation of the orcs in his mind, and then firmly decided on the choice of the strength-type orc.
Yong nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully, "Okay, I'll go and inform them myself later. But how should we choose the other guards? After all, the safety of the tribe is of utmost importance."
Sen replied solemnly, "Another blizzard is coming the day after tomorrow, and the situation on this trip is full of uncertainty. We can't be sure if we can return safely tomorrow. Under these circumstances, the safety of the tribe must be the top priority. The chief himself naturally has a certain ability to protect himself, and as for protection, with me here to oversee things, we should be able to ensure everyone's safety."
He paused, then continued, "We need to select orcs who possess both combat capabilities and the ability to adapt to harsh environments to serve as guards. We cannot be careless."
After listening, Yong's expression became even more serious, fully aware of the difficulty and importance of this mission.
The group gathered again, sitting around a corner of the cave, as if they were discussing something extremely important. They would sometimes lower their heads in deep thought, and sometimes whisper among themselves, and they discussed it for a long time.
Finally, after repeated deliberation and weighing of options, they made a unanimous decision—in addition to the earth-type and strength-type orcs, they would select ten more orcs to go out together.
This decision was not made lightly, but rather after careful consideration by everyone. They were well aware of the dangers of this operation, so they had to carefully select the most suitable partners.
Yong stood there quietly, his gaze slowly sweeping over each orc in the cave.
These orcs may live quietly in their caves on ordinary days, but at this moment they carry everyone's hopes and expectations.
He couldn't help but sigh deeply, a trace of emotion appearing in his eyes. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Alas, there are so few orcs in our tribe with special abilities! Although everyone is called a fourth-tier orc, the actual difference in strength is so vast! Some orcs are just a little bit less talented, and ultimately fail to develop their own special abilities. In fierce battles, that really puts them at a significant disadvantage!"
Sen, standing to the side, kept his head down, a complex expression on his face. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "There's nothing we can do about it. The Beastman Continent has always been this cruel; survival of the fittest is the way of nature. If only things could be different, then I wouldn't have to go through all that trouble to pick up so many little beastmen."
Upon hearing Sen's words, Yong gently stood up, walked to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and offered him some comfort and encouragement.
He raised his head, his eyes shining with determination, and said, "Don't be so pessimistic. We should look on the bright side. Isn't it the greatest fortune that we were able to meet the goddess? She has mysterious and unpredictable abilities, and she might be able to bring us unexpected help."
After saying this, Yong didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned around and went back to the campfire to start preparing, notifying the orcs who were about to set off to make various preparations.
Sen watched the optimistic Yong's departing figure quietly, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.
He knew that Yong had always been a very strong and optimistic person, and that he always maintained a positive attitude no matter what difficulties and challenges he faced.
Yes, he met Ruan Ruan, that gentle and kind goddess, which was undoubtedly the greatest luck of his life!
Thinking of this, Sen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved smile.
