Ji Nuan's eyes lit up instantly. She had already had some guesses about the sweet and crisp fruit sprouting today, but she didn't expect it to be true now.

“How long will it take?” Ji Nuan was a little excited. The Ainilu Forest was barren in the cold season, and everyone just stayed in the tribe. She really missed the days of going out to gather in the hot season.

The witch doctor smiled and said, "The rainy season will arrive in about two weeks."

His eyes are filled with longing for the new year's life and regret for having gone through another cold season.

The winter season will be over in about two weeks.

This news seemed to have grown wings and flew into every orc family in an instant.

Many beastmen who were running out of food breathed a sigh of relief.

Rainy season, season of hope.

"It's good that the cold season is over, but it also means that more beasts from the depths of the Enelu Mountains will come out to forage for food, and our situation will become more difficult." Chief Ge Xing said, wiping the food residue from the corner of his mouth.

The fire of joy in Ji Nuan's heart was half extinguished in an instant. Yes, in the rainy season, the time when there is a shortage of food, the beasts will invade the orc tribe on a large scale. In this case, the safety of the tribe will become a major problem.

"Now that the weather is warming up, let the orcs go out and dig deeper and wider ditch outside the city wall, and try to stop these beasts in the ditch."

Although Ji Nuan had never witnessed a beast tide with her own eyes, she knew that countless beastmen died in the beast tide every year. During the years when she lived in the Cub Cave, every year after the beast tide in the rainy season, cubs who had lost their fathers or even mothers would be sent to the Cub Cave.

After leaving the witch doctor's grandmother, Ji Nuan held Xiu Yan's slender hand and walked around every corner of the tribe, looking at the first home where she had settled down. The cave, which had not been inhabited by animals for a long time, was filled with dampness and no longer had the aroma of food, making it seem particularly deserted.

Suddenly, Ji Nuan stopped and tilted her head to look at the tall beastman beside her: "Brother Xiu Yan, if we migrate during the rainy season, is it possible?"

Xiu Yan raised his deep eyes, looked at the white and tender face of the little female cub, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "As long as you want, there is nothing impossible."

Although she was very happy in her heart, Ji Nuan still pouted: "Are you serious? Is it dangerous if we migrate during the rainy season?"

Xiu Yan thought for a while and said, "If it were in the past, it would definitely be better not to migrate, but this year there are so many beasts, it would be safer to migrate during the rainy season. At least the furry beasts will not come out in the rainy season, so our pressure will be much less."

Ji Nuan was overjoyed. Thinking of the vast plains she had been looking forward to, the endless fields and herds of livestock, the smile on her face was as warm as the midday sun.

···

The first rain finally came on the third day two weeks later. Heavy rain fell from the sky, waking Ji Nuan up from her sleep. She quickly put on her animal skin clothes and went to the window to look out.

In the pitch-black night, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of raindrops hitting the roof, eaves, and ground. The sound of rain mixed with the voices of the beastmen, and the night instantly became lively.

“Ahh?” Fatty cried in confusion on the kang. Ji Nuan walked over and picked him up, wrapped him up in a fur coat, and returned to the window: “It’s raining…”
