Chapter 455 Entering the Snow Beast Territory
After being led by the Snow Beast Clan members, and walking for another half hour, Ruan Mianmian led a group of beastmen to finally arrive at the territory where the Snow Beasts lived.
Unlike the caves they had always lived in, the dwellings of the snow beasts before them were a sight to behold. They were snow huts, built by the snow beasts themselves using their unique abilities!
These snow houses resemble the ice houses commonly seen in later generations, but they have a unique feature: the roofs are rounded, which is obviously more conducive to resisting the fierce cold winds howling from the mountaintop.
Ruan Mianmian, Sen, and their two cubs were warmly invited by the chieftain of the Snow Beast Clan and led to his snow house to discuss important matters.
Meanwhile, the remaining orcs were entertained by warriors from Bai and his tribe.
Despite Bai and Xue's formidable strength, their journey from the vast plains to the towering snow-capped mountains was far from smooth.
If it weren't for the brave and fearless orcs from the Eastern tribes protecting and accompanying them along the way, their entire family would likely have encountered many unexpected hardships and setbacks on their journey.
Now that they have successfully entered their own territory, Bai is overjoyed and decides to treat everyone to a grand feast.
When Ruan Mianmian and Sen arrived at the snow house with the snow beast leader, they were immediately thanked by the snow beast leader as soon as they sat down.
"Chief of the Eastern Tribe, I am very grateful to you and your people for your help to my tribe. To be honest, Xue is my son, and after he was born, our tribe raised him to be the future chieftain. However, due to an accident, the child was stranded on the plains. Fortunately, they met you, and were able to escape danger and return safely. Bai and Xue told me everything after they returned. Our Snow Beast tribe has nothing to thank us for, but we are skilled at cultivating snow lotus, so we will give you the snow lotus from our tribe."
Although Ruan Mianmian was happy to hear this, she still declined, saying, "Snow Beast Chief, although we saved Bai and the others by chance, this is what we, as beastmen, should do. We should help each other, so there's no need for special thanks. I really want the Snow Lotus, but as we told Bai and the others in our tribe, I can exchange it for food."
Upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, the Snow Beast Chieftain couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect. This female, though seemingly weak, possessed great wisdom! Her lack of greed and ambition was truly admirable!
"Eastern Chieftain, Bai and the others did mention that your tribe wanted to trade food for snow lotus with us. However, you've seen how difficult it is to climb the snow mountain, and hunting from the foot of the mountain and bringing the food up is clearly impractical. Moreover, if we were to actually make the exchange, our demand for food would be enormous!" said the Snow Beast Chieftain.
It wasn't that he looked down on this Eastern tribe, but they were clearly oversimplifying things.
The summit of the snow-capped mountain is not easy to climb. Even orcs struggle to reach it without any load, let alone with a large prey.
Moreover, as the number of trades increases, the number of orcs needed will also increase. The journey from the plains to here is long, and no matter how powerful their tribe is, it is impossible for them to gather the strength of their entire tribe to make the exchange!
Upon hearing the Snow Beast Chieftain's words, Ruan Mianmian quickly understood his meaning. Ultimately, he simply felt that they were incapable of doing it.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that while other orcs might not be able to do it, Ruan Mianmian had a cheat code!
She didn't earn the title of "goddess" for nothing!
