Chapter 22 Setting Off in Search of Salt
Lin Baiyan turned back and glanced at Lang Cang with amusement, then turned to Tu Lin and the others, "As for your 'Clan Chief' brother, that's even more impossible. He didn't take Lang Yun and the others with him this time, so how could he not come back?"
Lang Cang was about to refute the claim that he was not the clan leader when he suddenly choked on his words.
He watched as the young man winked at him with a sly grin, and his heart softened. He shook his head helplessly.
Well, these orcs are leaderless right now, so I'll just be their leader for now.
We'll make other plans later; when he leaves, we'll always cultivate a new clan leader who can succeed him.
Upon hearing this, the beastmen glanced at the group of wolf cubs huddled in the corner and realized that Lin Baiyan's words made perfect sense.
Lu Xiao immediately regained her usual liveliness, put down the teddy bear, and went up to take Lin Baiyan's arm, "I knew you wouldn't abandon us, after all, we've been fleeing together for so many days!"
Lin Baiyan chuckled and tapped his forehead, kindly refraining from exposing him. Just now, Lu Xiao had been looking miserable with the little cubs, and it seemed like he was about to burst into tears at any moment.
Having resolved this issue, Lin Baiyan then shared his plan with everyone: "We'll set off tomorrow, taking two male orcs with us."
"Uncle Rabbit Forest, you stay in the cave and lead everyone to continue searching for food."
Lang Cang nodded. "I'll leave Hu Qiu and Niu Lie here to lead the hunting team on hunts."
Tiger Hill's beast form is a large tiger with yellow skin and black stripes. He is also the most capable male beastman in the hunting team, besides Wolf Cang.
Sometimes he seems a bit unreliable, so to prevent any unexpected situations from happening, Lang Cang asked Niu Lie to keep an eye on him.
Although Niu Lie is not very strong in combat, his beast form is a bull, but he probably has some of the characteristics of an old ox. He is very diligent and a bit talkative. With him in charge of Tiger Hill, he can rest assured.
"You two continue hunting with the hunting party in the surrounding area, and don't go anywhere else!"
Wolf Cang gave Tiger Hill a particularly warning look. This kid had wanted to run away to a faraway place before, but the Beastman Continent was full of dangers, and their current combat strength was not that strong.
This is not a good time for exploration.
Hu Qiu nodded with a grin, and the two buddies put their arms around Niu Lie, about to say something.
Caught off guard by Lang Cang's glare, he gave an awkward laugh and said, "I know, we'll be right here."
Finally, Lang Cang selected two more male orcs from the hunting team, Xiong Fei and Ma Yuan, both of whom were male orcs with relatively fast beast-like speed.
That's how the group formed a simple salt-hunting team.
The next morning, Tu Lin handed Lin Baiyan the last cooked chestnuts left in the cave, along with the animal hides he was rushing to knead, saying, "You left early, so we still have some chestnuts left. They're all cooked and ready to eat."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the people of our tribe."
Last night, Lang Cang specifically instructed Hu Qiu and Niu Lie to discuss any unexpected events with Tu Lin.
Tiger Hill nodded vigorously beside him, "Don't worry, Chieftain, I will definitely lead the hunting team to hunt well and wait for your return!"
"You absolutely have to come back! You said you'd teach me that climbing and jumping technique!"
Ever since Cat Feather took over as clan leader, all the beastmen have started calling Wolf Cang their clan leader.
The man didn't refute it again, as if he had tacitly agreed.
Lin Baiyan carried a basket containing a stone pot, stone bowls, and a small piece of salt. Tu Lin stuffed the animal hide into his basket.
"We're out of meat..."
“It’s alright, we can hunt outside.” Lang Cang shook his head.
Lin Baiyan remembered the colorful phoenix chickens he had just mentioned wanting to raise and instructed, "Uncle Tu Lin, the colorful phoenix chickens need to be fed insects and grass."
Rabbit Forest said with a smile, "Don't worry, Wolf Cloud's little cubs care about this much more than we do. They were the ones who caught the insects to feed the Rainbow Phoenix Chickens yesterday."
Lin Baiyan looked down and saw Lang Yun with a cool, stern face. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of them."
Xia the cat and the other kittens nodded in unison, echoing each other's gestures. Yes! Those are all food! We'll keep a close eye on them!
The young man was charmed by the cubs and chuckled as he ruffled Wolf Cloud's hair. "Then I'll leave it to you!"
As Lin Baiyan stepped out of the cave, the sun was just rising, and its warm rays shone upon him. He turned to face the first rays of sunlight, a radiant smile spreading across his face, and looked at Lang Cang and the other members of his tribe.
Under the eager gaze of many of their people, they embarked on a journey to find salt.
only…
"What?! I'm going to ride on your back?!" The young man's eyes widened as he looked at Lang Cang.
Wolf Cang nodded matter-of-factly, “You’re a sub-beastman, and your speed is far from keeping up with ours. If you run on your own, it will take you a lot of time.”
Lin Baiyan wanted to say something more, but he saw that Lang Cang had already transformed into his beast form, leaned down, and gestured for him to climb onto his back.
What a huge white wolf...
Its fur looked fluffy, like clouds, and the young man unconsciously scratched his palm.
Awoo~ "Come on."
Lang Cang let out a soft call, which Lin Baiyan guessed was an invitation.
Although he felt a little embarrassed, he knew this was the best solution at the moment…
Not wanting to waste everyone's time, he took a deep breath and carefully climbed onto Lang Cang's broad back.
Then, with a snap, he transformed into his beast form, which was only about thirty centimeters long. Once inside, the kitten vanished, and Lin Baiyan felt as if he had fallen into soft, fluffy cotton...
After transforming into his beast form, Lin Baiyan seemed to have acquired some feline characteristics. The young man unconsciously rolled around in Lang Cang's fur, burying his cat-like face in the fur and taking several inhalations.
Then, he happily scratched the wolf's white fur with his paws, and ended up pulling out a few hairs.
The young man felt a little guilty, so he quickly stuffed the fur back in and patted it firmly, pretending that nothing had happened.
Gulu~
Wolf Cang's belly twitched, and then the young man snapped back to reality from his furry satisfaction.
Lin Baiyan, realizing he had made unwanted advances towards someone: ...
Meow meow~
"Cough cough, I'm just afraid of falling!"
The kitten explained it to itself, regardless of whether Lang Cang understood it or not.
Lang Cang had already sensed Lin Baiyan's subtle movements, and his eyes were full of smiles. It seemed that someone was quite satisfied with his fur.
Even though he himself is a furry beastman, why does he like other people so much? Wolf Cang has seen the young man petting the kitten Xia more than once.
Later, they even attacked the wolf cubs. Those cubs were amazing; they were usually so wary, baring their teeth at anyone who came near, but when they were with Lin Baiyan, they became as docile as kittens.
Wolf Cang didn't know what he was thinking. Sometimes, when he saw the young man petting his furry friend, he inexplicably felt that he was more liked by the young man than they were.
That's why he inexplicably let Lin Baiyan climb onto his back, and as it turned out, the young man really liked it. A smile flashed across Lang Cang's eyes.
The beastmen stared in astonishment when they saw Lin Baiyan climb onto Lang Cang's beast form.
Lu Xiao glanced at the kitten and then furtively looked at Lang Cang, wishing he could grab Lin Baiyan and ask him what was going on!
Aren't male orcs only allowed to have their mates sit on their backs?!
