Chapter 384 Beasts compared to beasts, even beasts will be driven mad.
As time went by, the dry season had been going on for some time.
Every day, the sun relentlessly scorches the earth, and the once abundant water sources gradually dry up. The rivers that were once sparkling and the streams that were once crystal clear are now just cracked riverbeds, like wounds that have been opened up on the earth.
Due to the extreme scarcity of water, many animals were forced to leave the familiar plains and embark on a long and arduous migration.
They need to find new places to live, where there may still be water sources and enough food to sustain them.
As a result, the plains became unusually deserted, no longer as vibrant and lively as they used to be.
The dense forests that once served as hunting grounds for the beastmen have now lost their former bustling atmosphere.
The animals had long since departed, leaving behind only silence and desolation. Even the small bubbles that were usually visible were now completely dried up, not a single drop of water to be found.
Faced with such a dire situation, all the tribes were plunged into deep anxiety.
They traveled far and wide, doing everything in their power to find precious water and food to survive.
However, amidst this chaos and anxiety, the Eastern tribes stood out from the crowd.
They remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by the drought. Everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do, living their lives in an orderly fashion.
In fact, for orcs, the dry season and the rainy season do not happen by chance, but are specially arranged and allocated by the mysterious and powerful beast god according to the needs of the orc tribe.
When the rainy season arrives, abundant rainfall nourishes the entire orc continent, allowing vegetation to absorb water to its heart's content, grow strong, bloom with colorful flowers, and bear plentiful fruits.
During the dry season, the strong sunlight provides the plants with ample light, helping them to develop better and resulting in larger and fuller fruits.
This ingenious natural cycle not only ensures ecological balance but also provides a stable resource guarantee for the orc tribe.
This year's drought is just longer and more severe than usual.
When Ruan Mianmian woke up in the morning, she looked at the tribe basking in the scorching sun and couldn't help but sigh deeply. "When will this dry season ever end! It's so hot!"
The sweltering heat was unbearable, even for her, the leader known as the "hairless beastmen," let alone the other beastmen covered in fur.
Look at Yong and his companions—a pack of wolf-beastmen—they're all lying haphazardly in the cave, panting heavily!
It's so incredibly hot today!
Looking at the beaver tribe, the situation is slightly better, since their leader had specifically left a pool for them.
Although adult orcs are too embarrassed to soak in the pool for too long due to pride, the mischievous and adorable little ones in the tribe have no such concerns!
They swam freely in the water like happy little fish, having a great time.
However, some of the other lesser orcs in the tribe were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment upon seeing this scene!
Perhaps because she was pregnant, Ruan Mianmian became exceptionally empathetic and considerate.
So, out of kindness, she also set about building a super large swimming pool for the little beastmen of her tribe.
Hey, this is great! The swimming pool inside the cave has instantly become everyone's favorite spot.
The most interesting one has to be the orc, Bai Bai. Don't let her young age fool you; she's currently soaking happily in the pool, transforming herself into a "sprinkler lady."
No matter which tribesman walks in, she mischievously sprays water all over their nose. And the tribesman who gets sprayed? Instead of getting angry, they burst into laughter, filling the whole scene with joy and warmth.
At this moment, the cave is filled with icebergs of all sizes and shapes, truly a scene described literally.
You should know that this is all thanks to Ruan Mianmian!
During that bitterly cold winter, she planned ahead and had her people collect and store large amounts of snow and ice.
Now that it's the dry season, all those carefully stored ice and snow resources are finally coming in handy!
Although these icebergs are not used for daily drinking water, they would be perfect for a relaxing bath.
Imagine that while beastmen in other places fight tooth and nail for a single drop of precious water, the beastmen of our Eastern tribe can leisurely enjoy the refreshing comfort of bathing.
The stark contrast is simply unbelievable!
Tell me, who should we ask for justice in this matter?
Alas, as the saying goes, "A beast can be more infuriating than another beast!"
