Chapter 412 Idle Chat on the City Wall
In the towering forest, after a rain, mushrooms and wood ear fungus quietly sprouted. Leopard Road bent down, picked a wood ear fungus from a dead tree, and put it into the basket on his back.
He weighed the basket on his back in his hand, estimating it to be about enough for one meal of soup. Leopard Road called out, "Ma Jing! We're going back!"
Not long after he finished speaking, a tall male orc emerged from the bushes. "Hey, all right!"
After responding, Ma Jing called over several male orcs around him, and they followed Ma Jing back to their temporary camp in the same direction they had come from.
Ma Yuan didn't come out with them this time. Not only him, but also the male beastman Lang Cang who had cubs at home didn't let them come along. Xiong Fei didn't go out either because Lu Xiao was pregnant.
Since Ma Yuan wasn't around, they picked Ma Jing from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. And you know what? Horse-shaped beastmen are definitely better at finding their way around. Ma Jing was a huge help along the way.
When they returned to their temporary camp, Lang Cang was hunched over a small table that had been set up to write a letter.
"Young chieftain, now that we know the exact location of the Wild Boar Tribe, would you like to write to the city and request some more support?"
Lang Mo looked at Lang Cang, who was putting the letter into a small bamboo tube, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If it's just us, there's no way we can save our people from them."
Lang Cang nodded. "I know, I've thought of that too."
"I wonder if Luo and the others have received the letter from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts," Wolf Mo said with some worry.
Wolf Cang tied the small bamboo tube to the little peregrine falcon's claws, then patted its wings. The little peregrine falcon glared at the male beastman, trying to pretend nothing had happened.
Wolf Cang patted the little peregrine falcon twice more as a warning, saying, "If you don't work, I'll stew you and make bird soup when we get back!"
The little peregrine falcon was frightened by the sinister tone in his voice, and involuntarily shivered. It then dutifully spread its wings and soared into the blue sky.
He knew that there was no such thing as free meat in this world!
No wonder that orc was so nice to the falcon just now, letting it eat two big pieces of meat in one go!
Wolf Cang watched the little peregrine falcon disappear in the blink of an eye, "Hopefully it can bring us some good news this time."
I wonder what Lin Baiyan is doing right now? Is she secretly thinking about him?
At this moment, Lin Baiyan, who was being nagged by Lang Cang, sneezed violently. He rubbed his nose and tightened his cloak.
Beside him, Lu Xiao looked at him with some concern, "High Priest, are you perhaps ill?"
"Why don't you go back first? They might not arrive for a while."
This morning, Lin Baiyan received a message from a little bird, saying that the team had reached the end of the East River.
They were members of the Star Wolf Beastmen who went out to search for the remaining Star Wolf Beastmen in the west. After Lang Cang led his troops south, Lin Baiyan sent people to the west to bring back the remaining members of the tribe. It was the team led by Bao Nanxiang Qi.
They've been gone for so long, and now they've finally replied.
Lin Baiyan considered the end of the East River, which wasn't too far from where they were. It was a sunny day, so he decided to wait for them there.
Lin Baiyan waved his hand dismissively, "I'm fine, I'll wait here for a while."
His gaze shifted to Lu Xiao's slightly protruding belly. "You're the one talking? What time is it? You should be resting at home. If you slip and fall, I'd love to see Xiong Fei cry!"
Lu Xiao looked at the slightly mischievous expression on his face, her cheeks flushed, and she felt a little embarrassed. "How could he possibly control me? Besides, you told us before that pregnant women should go out and move around more, as it's good for the baby!"
At this point, Lin Baiyan was also speechless. Before he transmigrated, he was a man, so he naturally didn't know much about things like pregnant women giving birth. He could only imitate what he had learned and remember as much as he could.
But who would have thought that the phenomenon of sub-orcs on the Orc Continent having children is completely different from theirs? Here, it seems that giving birth to a cub is as simple as eating and drinking. The real difficulty is not giving birth to the cub, but raising the cub to adulthood.
Raising a cub properly in such an extremely harsh climate and with exceptionally scarce resources is no easy task.
However, that situation no longer exists in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. Since the city of ten thousand beasts was established, very few cubs born in the city have died prematurely due to external conditions.
Everyone has enough to eat and wear every day, so they're definitely going to put in a lot of effort to have babies.
According to Lin Baiyan's rough estimate, at least three hundred newborn cubs were born in the city during this snow season!
This is quite a large number, considering that the total population of Ten Thousand Beasts City is only a little over a thousand.
Thinking of this, Lin Baiyan's face was full of smiles. "Next spring, we need to plant more crops, otherwise we won't be able to feed all these extra cubs that appeared this snowy season!"
This is truly a sweet burden.
Lu Xiao nodded in agreement, "Yes, we must take good care of the cubs."
The cubs are the future hope of the city.
The two chatted casually, and before they knew it, a light snow began to fall intermittently on the city wall.
Cat Feather, carrying an oil-paper umbrella and a small basket, braved the wind and snow to walk up the city wall.
He approached the two orcs and quickly pulled them under the eaves, placing a warm earthenware jar in each of their hands. "Brother, drink some pear juice."
After stuffing the food, they took off the bamboo basket from their backs, set up a small charcoal basin on the spot, placed an iron mesh on top, and put a few sweet potatoes and potatoes on it.
In no time, he transformed this small patch of ground into a simple picnic spot.
Lin Baiyan looked at his actions with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "What are you doing? All these bags and packages are just too much trouble for you."
Cat Feather glared at her high priest brother, who didn't seem to know how to take good care of himself, with a hint of reproach. "You coughed several times in the office today!"
"Instead of resting in the house, you're running to the city wall. Of course I have to follow you!" When the city lord left the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, he secretly told him to keep an eye on the high priest.
Of course, Maoyu would listen to his city lord brother!
"Good, good, good, now you're on Lang Cang's side, and you've become a little steward!" Lin Baiyan said with a smile.
Cat Feather didn't care; he would do anything as long as it was good for his High Priest brother!
Just as the group was chatting, a whistle sounded from the watchtower on the city wall.
