Chapter 305 A Large Potato Field
With a wave of her hand, Ruan Mianmian's small hand caused the mountain-like herd of mooing beasts to suddenly disappear.
But everyone had gotten used to it. They couldn't drag so much prey away or take it back with them. Who but their leader had that ability?
However, this is also why they dare to hunt in groups; no matter how much food they find, the leader can always store it well.
They'll have to work hard this time, but then they won't lack food during the rainy and dry seasons.
Everyone happily filled in the large pit they had dug, and then looked at their leader, waiting for his next command.
"Our hunt went quite well. There's a potato field not far from here. But the potatoes aren't ripe yet. Let's find a way to mark it so we can bring people to dig them up when they're ready. That'll be our food to fill our stomachs."
Upon hearing that there was even a small piece of potato, the orcs instantly conjured up images of the enticing aroma of roasted potatoes, golden and crispy potato strips, and other delicious potato dishes. Their eyes lit up with excitement, and they nodded eagerly in agreement.
One of the orcs exclaimed excitedly, "Hehe, we were right to follow the chief! Look at how quickly we've caught so much meat and now we've found such a large potato field! We're so lucky!"
The others echoed this sentiment, expressing their anticipation and joy for the trip.
And so, the group continued on their way in high spirits.
About twenty minutes later, we finally arrived at the potato field that Ruan Mianmian had mentioned.
Originally, everyone guessed that this place was only a small area based on the leader's words, but when they actually stood here, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
This isn't just a small patch; it's clearly a vast expanse of land!
Ruan Mianmian roughly estimated that the potato field was at least three or four acres in size.
Looking at the lush green weeds covering the ground, Ye couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Wow, there are so many potatoes hidden under all these weeds! If we can bring them all back to the tribe, we'll have enough food for the whole winter!"
Ruan Mianmian was equally overjoyed, her face beaming with a radiant smile. She was already imagining the bustling scene of the harvest season: her people busy digging potatoes, piles of golden potatoes stacked up like mountains... Just thinking about it made her feel incredibly happy and satisfied.
Everyone was very happy to hear this, and now they are wondering how this area can be left until autumn.
At this moment, an older orc spoke up: "Chief, we can mark the area with our scent first. That way, if other orcs discover it, they will be more cautious." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"This place isn't far from our tribe. Let's mark this spot and bring people here from time to time to spread the scent. That way, it won't be a problem when it's ripe."
When Ruan Mianmian heard that this was a solution, she asked Sen to take her around so that the remaining beastmen could mark the animals freely.
Why wasn't Ruan Mianmian there to watch? The mark was for orcs urinating. How could you expect a young, innocent girl to watch a bunch of orcs urinate?
Besides, there's a jealous person around, so you have to be careful.
Once all the orcs had marked the potatoes, she announced loudly, "Everyone has worked hard today. After the potatoes are harvested, we will hold a grand feast."
The orcs cheered, as if they could already see the scene of a bountiful harvest and a lively feast.
Afterwards, everyone embarked on a new journey with great joy, their laughter echoing throughout the journey.
