Chapter 186 Mineral Veins
Jin immediately led a few clever tribesmen and cautiously approached the nearby rabbit hole.
They pounced on the burrow entrance with lightning speed, capturing the panicked rabbits one by one. Their movements were skillful and swift, as if they had practiced countless times.
Tu and Yuan continued to dig tirelessly downwards, digging with all their might while also using their own special abilities, causing soil to fly out like a waterfall.
Each excavation brought them one step closer to the depths of the earth, driven by a single belief: they must find what the leader wanted.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian sat quietly on the giant snake's head, her bright eyes like dazzling stars, looking down at the vast land before her.
A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, but she was oblivious, her heart filled with anticipation for the excavation.
Yu and Kun also joined the rabbit-hunting team with great enthusiasm. Although they were not as good at digging burrows as Tu and Yuan, catching rabbits was a piece of cake for them.
They moved nimbly between the pits, using their keen intuition and agility to catch rabbit after rabbit.
As the excavation area expanded, a vein shimmering with mysterious light gradually came to the surface, as if the secrets of the earth were being slowly revealed.
Its winding course seems endless, inspiring awe at the wonder and grandeur of nature.
"Chief, this should be the stone you're looking for." Tu struggled to climb out of the pit, his face covered in mud and sweat, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.
He carefully took out a relatively large stone and spoke to Ruan Mianmian, his voice filled with pride.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian's mind was completely occupied by the system, and that familiar voice rang in her ears: "Host, we're rich, we're rich! This spirit stone mine is so long! Dig faster, dig faster!"
She took a deep breath, a surge of overwhelming excitement welling up inside her.
She knew this would be a turning point in their lives; with these spirit stones, her life would undergo a dramatic transformation.
"Yes, that's right, it's this kind of stone. Everyone, start digging at the bottom of the pit now, let's dig them all out as quickly as possible!" After Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, she gestured for Sen to put her at the bottom of the pit.
After entering the pit, Ruan Mianmian touched the spirit stone vein, and the spirit stones on the ground beneath her instantly disappeared.
Tu and Yuan watched the chief perform miracles with growing familiarity, and they continued to dig outwards so that the chief could collect the goods more easily.
Some of the orcs nearby were on a mission for the first time, and they were all dumbfounded when they saw Ruan Mianmian's actions.
"This...this is the leader's power?...Could this be a miracle?"
Ye glanced at his stunned companions and couldn't help but yell at them, "What are you standing there for? Can't you see that Tu and the others have already dug quite a distance? Hurry up and dig! The leader is waiting!"
Hearing the wild roar, the orcs snapped out of their daze and hurriedly began digging. They were both shocked and excited, working diligently, hoping to make a greater contribution to the tribe.
As time went by, more and more spirit stones were unearthed, and Ruan Mianmian's mood improved more and more.
In winter, darkness falls quickly, and the beastmen's bodies quickly become stiff from prolonged exposure to low temperatures.
By this time, Tu and Yuan were exhausted, and their claws were trembling slightly. The main problem was that the vein was too long and too big, and the two of them simply couldn't finish mining it.
As Ruan Mianmian watched the sky gradually darken, she signaled everyone to stop and prepare to rest.
She looked around; now they were surrounded by huge pits, and there wasn't a single patch of intact ground left.
"Sen, compact this patch of ground. We're going to spend the night here!"
Ruan Mianmian glanced at the huge anaconda beside her and said playfully.
Sen obediently flattened the ground with his tail, while the other orcs gathered some branches and dry grass to build a makeshift camp.
Jin and Ye took several orcs out hunting. They had worked all afternoon and were now starving.
Ruan Mianmian pondered where to stay for the night. They were in the middle of nowhere, and the temperature at night was tens of degrees below zero, which would be difficult for the beastmen as well.
After browsing the system store for a while, her gaze finally settled on the detached log cabin.
That's how powerful the system is; the store really has everything.
Ruan Mianmian took a fancy to an outdoor detached villa, with a pure wooden structure and a size of about 100 square meters.
Ruan Mianmian clicked to buy, and a detached log cabin instantly appeared before her eyes.
The orcs stared wide-eyed, their eyes gleaming with curiosity and awe, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing—the house that had suddenly appeared before them seemed to have stepped out of a dream.
"Wow, this is simply a miracle!"
The crowd gasped in amazement, their voices filled with astonishment and awe at the unknown.
With a smile on her face, Ruan Mianmian gently pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance of wood wafted out.
Everyone cautiously entered the house, expecting it to be a magnificent and mysterious space. However, they were surprised to find that it was just a simple wooden structure, empty and devoid of any decorations or items except for the basic supporting structure. It was like a huge wooden box displayed in front of them.
However, even with such a simple arrangement, everyone was still amazed.
Some orcs clasped their hands together and whispered to the void, "By the Beast God, today has truly opened our eyes to a miracle."
Others exclaimed excitedly, "My God, I never imagined I could live in a 'cave' like this! It's incredible!"
A smug glint flashed in the eyes of the man beside him. He tilted his head slightly and said proudly, "As expected of our leader, he always brings us unexpected surprises. This is the power of miracles!"
The others nodded in agreement, their faces beaming with excitement.
"Haha, when I get back to the tribe, I'm going to brag about it to them, tell them I've moved into such a special 'cave,' and let them be so envious!" an orc said expectantly, his eyes gleaming with cunning.
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh, their hearts filled with reminiscence and anticipation of this wonderful experience.
"Everyone can get a good rest tonight," Ruan Mianmian said.
The beastmen cheered excitedly, looking at Ruan Mianmian with gratitude.
On this cold night, they had a warm home.
The temperature was very low at night, so everyone sat around the fire to keep warm.
Yu and Kun were roasting meat by the fire, and everyone was overjoyed as they talked about the miracle of the day.
Ruan Mianmian took out some steamed buns and shared them with everyone. Although it was simple, everyone ate them happily.
