Chapter 277 Hyena
On this morning, the sun shone on the vast grassland, and a gentle breeze caressed the tender green grass, as if nature were playing a soft melody.
Meanwhile, as always, Yong led his hunting team to embark on a hunting journey full of unknowns and challenges.
However, just as they were halfway there, an unexpected event occurred—a group of agile figures suddenly appeared not far ahead, none other than the beastmen from the hyena tribe.
It's important to know that hyenas are an extremely large and formidable group on this vast plain, renowned for their ferocity and cunning.
The hyena leader spotted Yong's group from afar, and a sly smile immediately appeared on his face.
As the two sides drew closer, the hyena leader laughed loudly, "Haha, look at our majestic wolf king! Why is he leading such a disorganized group on the hunt today? Has your wolf clan fallen so low that you need to recruit members of other beast tribes to fill the ranks?"
It turns out that the hunting team led by Yong today is indeed somewhat different from others.
Besides himself and some wolf companions, he was accompanied by orcs of different races, such as Ban, Kun, and Kota.
Therefore, on the surface, the entire hunting party appeared to be quite mixed and diverse.
Faced with the hyena chieftain's sarcasm, Yong retorted without backing down, "Hmph, it's none of your business how our tribe is behaving! You old hyena, you'd better worry about yourself first!"
After all, Yong, as the former wolf king who once led the wolf pack, possessed courage and majesty that were unmatched by ordinary people.
Even though time has passed, he still possesses awe-inspiring strength and doesn't even consider ordinary orcs a threat.
Upon hearing Yong's forceful words, the hyena leader's face darkened slightly, but he quickly put on his fake smile again and continued, "Oh ho, Yong, don't be too arrogant! Although you are the wolf king, look at the so-called 'teammates' you have with you now, they are nothing but a rabble!"
Yong sneered, "My ragtag army consists of elites, unlike your men who only know how to steal other people's prey."
A flash of annoyance crossed the hyena leader's eyes. "Hmph! Let's see who the real strongman is."
As he spoke, the hyena beastmen behind him bared their fangs and assumed attack stances.
Yong's tribesmen were equally resolute, all transforming into beasts and prostrating themselves on the ground, awaiting Yong's command.
Just as tensions were running high, a sound suddenly came from afar.
Everyone turned to look and saw an even larger group slowly approaching, led by a tall and mighty lion-orc.
The lion-orc approached, looked at Yong and the hyena leader, and said loudly, "Fighting here will only result in mutual destruction. This plain is rich in resources, why must we fight to the death? Why don't we cooperate to hunt and share the spoils?"
Yong and the hyena leader exchanged a glance, thought for a moment, and then nodded at the same time.
After all, peaceful coexistence and common development are far better than conflict.
So the three teams merged and headed into one place, heading deep into the grassland.
Yong was in charge of directing the layout, the lion-men used their strong physiques to charge at the prey, and the hyenas used their agility to surround them.
Their first collaboration was a great success, resulting in the capture of many large prey.
Afterwards, they divided the spoils and distributed them according to the size of their respective ethnic groups.
This collaboration allowed the three parties to see each other's strengths, leading them to decide to establish a long-term alliance.
When Yong returned to the valley with a large amount of prey, he was warmly welcomed by everyone.
After all, food is very important to every orc; having food means they can continue to survive.
So everyone was quite excited to see so much prey.
When Yong reported to Ruan Mianmian and Zhi about today's results and the joint hunt with the lion and hyena clans, Ruan Mianmian said that since an agreement had been reached, they would take it slow and see how things went.
Zhi and Yong said that they shouldn't reveal the fact that they had a goddess on their side yet. Since they had reached a cooperation agreement, it wouldn't hurt to take care of her in the future.
The food they hunted today was enough to feed them for a week, so Nguyen Mien Mien suggested that they build houses first and go out hunting again when they had almost finished eating the food.
The weather is merely hot, so there's no need to store food. In fact, many things will only accumulate, and hoarding is actually counterproductive.
The next day, Ruan Mianmian first cut down some trees in the valley.
Since the plan is to build the valley into a small town, some things need to be cleared away.
The first trees to be cut down were those near the wall, which Ruan Mianmian believed also posed a potential hazard.
So for the next two days, everyone focused on cutting down trees inside the valley, and it was quite lively for a while.
The felled trees were also divided into several parts.
Ruan Mianmian had the little beastman move some branches to a fixed place to dry; these would be the firewood for this winter.
The remaining straight tree trunks are ready to be used to build wooden houses.
That's right, it's a wooden house. Ruan Mianmian is about to start building the house we mentioned before. As the weather gets hotter, everyone wants to have their own house.
Besides wooden houses, stone houses are also an option; it just depends on whether people prefer wood or stone.
Ruan Mianmian called everyone together to discuss the house.
The little animals started chattering and arguing, some saying the wooden house was beautiful and cozy, while others thought the stone house was sturdy and durable.
"Why don't we build some of both types of houses?" Zhi stepped forward and suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
So, some of the orcs followed the old orcs skilled in carpentry to process the wood and prepare to build the frame of the wooden house; while others followed the strong and brave warriors to mine suitable stones.
Ruan Mianmian was also busy. She led several skillful female beastmen to draw up house design plans and consider how to arrange the rooms to make them more comfortable.
Several days passed, and the frame of the first wooden house was completed. Looking at the building that was beginning to take shape, everyone was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
The quarrying team also brought back a lot of stones of uniform size.
As the project progressed, a positive and uplifting atmosphere permeated the valley, as if a beautiful homeland was just around the corner.
