Chapter 182 Determining the Route
The entire Silver Tiger Clan is warlike; in their eyes, combat strength is the standard by which everything is measured.
In previous years, there were almost no tribes in the north that the Silver Tiger Clan couldn't defeat. So, the sudden appearance of the Wolf Clan was no surprise to the Silver Tiger Clan.
"I have never heard the chieftain speak so highly of a male orc."
Tiger Kite glanced at Lin Baiyan beside him with a hint of amusement, "Such a powerful male beastman, Baiyan must be very happy."
Lin Baiyan was suddenly hit in the face by a car wheel. He stared blankly at Hu Yuan for two or three seconds before he realized what Hu Yuan meant.
His face flushed red instantly, and he glared at Hu Yuan with slight annoyance. "Yuan! What nonsense are you talking about?"
“We haven’t become partners yet…” He did want to become partners, but unfortunately, he was stopped by a male orc with a very strong sense of morality.
Fox Ice looked at Lin Baiyan's bright red ears with some curiosity, "Tsk tsk tsk, he's still too green."
He stretched lazily and winked at him, "You haven't experienced much yet, have you? You'll know once you two become a couple."
Lin Baiyan was suddenly smeared with yellow fur by them again, and wished she could stay eight meters away from the two sub-beastmen.
He knew that the orcs on the continent were very open-minded, and that they were always open and enjoyable about these things. But these two sub-orcs were just too, too, too open!
It's still daytime! Is it really okay to discuss these things so casually?
Lin Baiyan was slightly frantic.
Wolf Cang, who was not far away, seemed to sense the gazes of the sub-beastmen. He raised his eyes slightly and locked onto Lin Baiyan's figure at a glance.
He keenly noticed the orc's slightly flushed cheeks and the way he was looking at him.
Lang Cang was a little confused, but since Bai Yan was surrounded by sub-beastmen, it wasn't appropriate for him to go over there. He decided to ask him after they set up camp for the night.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three sub-orcs walked toward the male orc. Foxtail nodded slightly to the approaching sub-orcs, and the three tribal leaders gathered together.
The orcs introduced themselves to each other, and their initial impressions of one another were quite friendly.
"The location of this trading market is in the south. Walk along the East River to its end, and then walk west for about fifteen sunsets away from the East River. That should be the location where the new trading village will be established."
After Fox Tail finished speaking, Wolf Cang asked, "Is the information reliable?"
He didn't ask where the Silver Fox Clan got their information; every tribe has its own secrets, and it's impolite to pry too much.
Foxtail nodded. "I don't know the exact location, but the general area should be correct."
Lin Baiyan listened to Fox Tail's description thoughtfully. According to him, the trading tribe should be located in the southwest. In fact, they could travel in a straight line.
However, Lin Baiyan did not speak rashly. This time they were going to explore a new location, so they should just follow the route that Fox Tail had told them.
They can draw a map along the way, and if they find the trading market smoothly, they might save a lot of time on their way back.
“Then let’s follow the route provided in the information first, and adjust as we go, how about that?” Lang Cang glanced at the orcs around him and said in a deep voice.
"no problem."
"I can see it."
Having determined the exploration route, the beastmen returned to their respective groups, with the Silver Tiger Clan leading the way and the Azure Flame Tribe bringing up the rear, sandwiching the Silver Fox Clan beastmen in the middle.
There was no other way. Hu Yang had already told them that the Silver Fox Clan's combat strength might be a bit weak. In addition, Hu Yuan had just told Hu Bing how powerful Lang Cang was. As the weakest of the Silver Fox Clan, they had no choice but to be stuck in the middle, feeling wronged.
The Silver Tiger Clan brought out one hundred orcs this time, mostly powerful male orcs, and only twenty sub-orcs.
The Silver Fox Clan had a similar number of people to the Silver Tiger Clan: eighty beastmen, sixty male beastmen, and twenty sub-beastmen.
The Cangyan tribe had the fewest members, a pitiful twenty-odd, less than a quarter of the number of other tribes.
This is why Lin Baiyan worries day and night about their tribe being invaded.
Their Azure Flame Tribe was just a tribe established by a group of wandering orcs, and its members numbered only a little over a hundred. This was even after the addition of the new batch of dwarf orcs.
How could they compare to other tribes that have been passed down for decades or even centuries?
The kitten lay on the white wolf's head, looking at the large, powerful tribes of other people, and then at its own rather small group, and sighed deeply.
At this moment, Lin Baiyan's thoughts were unusually similar to Tu Lin's: Why haven't the beastmen in the tribe had cubs yet?
The cubs are the hope of a tribe. Without newborn cubs, a tribe cannot be passed down and grow stronger. At this moment, Lin Baiyan finally understood why Rabbit Forest sighed every day.
A group of over a hundred people moved quickly along the East River.
To conserve their energy, the group moved at a relatively slow pace. The days of traveling were tedious and monotonous, with a single journey lasting all day.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, it was now dusk. Hu Yang and Hu Wei turned around and ran to the very back of the group. When they saw Lang Cang, Hu Yang stopped. "I think it's about time for today. Why don't we set up a temporary camp here?"
Lang Cang looked around at the surroundings. This should be a bamboo forest, with good concealment. He nodded, "I have no objection."
So they decided to rest there for the night. Several leading male orcs signaled to their own groups to rest. The orcs, having traveled all day, could finally relax a bit, and the Silver Tigers unloaded the baskets from their backs.
Fortunately, they were incredibly clever and had obtained many baskets from the Azure Flame Tribe in advance. With the addition of a cart, the tigers carrying the animal skins they were going to exchange for were much lighter, and they even had the energy to help the Silver Fox Tribe beastmen carry some things on the way.
The silver fox orcs beside them looked enviously at the strange tool on the tigers' backs, which was round and deep, with two straps hanging down.
Most importantly, this thing is extremely sturdy. They saw the Silver Tiger Clan beastmen put so much meat into it, and it still hasn't spoiled!
They had all thought of it, and Fox Ice certainly realized it too. He nudged Tiger Kite beside him and asked, "Where did you get this tool?"
Tiger Kite blinked. "You mean the basket? We got these from the Azure Flame Tribe."
"This thing can hold so many supplies, it's so convenient! Now when we go gathering, we carry baskets with us, and we no longer have to carry supplies back and forth to the tribe."
