Chapter 114 Yaocheng Trading Center Opens
Chapter 114 Yaocheng Trading Center Opens
Yi Tian and his crew were not travelling fast, as Sheye and his son needed to identify the route taken by the cat tribe through smells and traces.
In the dog tribe, not long after Quanri and his tribe left with Yifei, a large group of wild boar beastmen appeared near the cave. They were carrying females and supplies, and none of the beasts had an empty back. The leader was the leader of the pig leather tribe who had brought his tribe to the Qingqing Grassland Trade Fair. On his back were two bamboo baskets tied together, which were traded from the Yao tribe at the trade fair. In addition to the bamboo and rattan baskets, the pig tribe also traded ten sets of animal skin clothes, which were now worn by their females.
Several wild boars were sniffing the ground. One of them raised his head and said, "Chief, the dog tribe just left not long ago."
Zhu Ge looked at the collapsed cave, then walked to a raised mound and said, "We are too late. There are casualties from the Dog Tribe, and they are buried underneath."
A young female was sitting on a wild boar, not far from the skin, and she said, "Dad, let's catch up and take a look."
Zhu Ge said in a doting tone: "Okay, let's catch up and take a look."
A large group of wild boars followed the trail left by the Dog Tribe.
Yifei, Queman and a few other peacocks were flying in the sky. Yifei happened to look back and suddenly saw a large group of black beasts running forward across several hills.
When Que Man saw Yi Fei looking back, he also looked back and said in surprise: "What kind of beasts? There are so many of them."
Yifei said: "Let Leader Quanri and the others run faster. Look, the beasts are running in this direction. We don't have an advantage in numbers, so we should avoid a conflict if possible."
Queman immediately lowered the flight altitude and shouted to Quanri, "Chief Quanri, there is a large group of black beasts running towards us from behind a few mountains. Let's run faster."
Inu Ri did not speed up after hearing this, but stopped and asked, "A large group of black beasts?"
Yifei said from a high place: "Yes, it doesn't look like a wild beast, it should be an orc, and it seems to be carrying something on its back."
Quanri's expression suddenly relaxed and he said, "Yifei, Queman, don't worry. That's the Pig Tribe. They are all black pig orcs. Although their tribe is quite far from ours, we occasionally have contact with each other. Their leader Zhuge is a good orc. He should have followed our trail and caught up with us."
Yifei asked: "Do we need to wait for them?"
Inu Ri said: "No need to wait, we just walk slower."
Queman said, "Since they are a friendly tribe, why don't I fly back and ask them?"
Inu Ri said: "Then I'll have to trouble Que Man."
Queman immediately turned around and flew back. Although it seemed that there were only a few hills between them, the actual distance was not short. Even at the speed of a flying beast, it still took a while to fly.
"Ow!"
"Ow!"
The peacock made a sharp cry, instantly attracting the attention of many pig beastmen. The females on the backs of several pig beastmen shouted excitedly, "What a beautiful peacock!"
Queman flew in front of the wild boar orcs and said, "I am not a peacock, I am a peacock orc. Excuse me, are you the leader of the pig leather?"
Zhu Ge asked doubtfully: "Peacock orc, I don't seem to know you."
Queman said: "My name is Queman, I'm here to pass on a message. Do you know the Dog Tribe?"
Zhu Ge said: "Yes, I know. I am very familiar with the leader of the Dog Day and many orcs of the Dog Tribe. Do you know where the Dog Tribe is now?"
Queman said, "It's just in front of you, three hills away."
Zhu Ge said in surprise: "Then let's run faster and catch up with the Dog Tribe."
Queman said, "I will go and inform the Inu Ri leader first."
Queman said this and flew away again.
"Yifei, the dog-Japanese leader." Queman shouted from a distance.
Inu Ri stopped and looked at the big peacock that was rushing over.
Queman stopped on the ground, took a few deep breaths, and then said, "It is indeed Leader Zhuge and his men behind us. They have sped up their speed and are rushing here."
Inu Shu said, "Dad, let's stop and wait for the Pig Tribe. The tribesmen have been traveling for a long time, so it's a good time for them to take a break."
Quan Ri thought for a moment and said, "Alright. Yi Fei, Que Wu Que Chi, you guys should also come down and take a rest."
Quewu Quechi descended and carefully put the injured orc from the Dog Tribe in his claws onto the ground.
The tribesmen rushed forward to check on him, and Inuki asked, "Inu-chan Inu-da, are you all okay?"
The two injured orcs looked pale, but they didn't want to make their tribesmen worry too much, so they replied, "It's okay."
Yifei circled in the sky for a while before landing and said, "Chief Dog Ri, dark clouds are gathering above us. It looks like it's going to rain again soon. We need to get out the animal skins we prepared earlier, and we need to find a high ground and set up the tent as soon as possible."
So, Yifei and the three peacocks turned into human forms and began to teach the orcs of the dog tribe how to set up tents.
In Yaocheng, Yiyun and Yinfeng led a large group of orcs to build the trading center tent in the rain. Fortunately, the rain was not as heavy as before, and it was only moderate rain at most.
Jia Ke led the pangolin orcs to skillfully dig drainage ditches around the trading center. After the drainage ditches were dug, the orcs immediately covered them with wood so as not to affect walking.
With so many skilled workers, they set up a large tent in less than half a day. In order to provide lighting and ventilation, the trading center had multiple windows on the raft walls, and sloping eaves were added above the windows. This was also something the orcs had learned from the model of the house.
As soon as the tent was set up, Yiyun flew to the cafeteria, wrapped his partner in a piece of animal skin, and carried him to the trading center.
They didn't know how to best arrange the trading center.
Chen Shiyue actually didn’t quite understand it. After walking around the big tent and thinking about it, she decided to divide the trading center into two areas, one for the dining area and the other for the commodity trading area.
In the dining area, four rooms were separated by wooden rafts. The one at the end was the kitchen, where a row of stone stoves were built with stones. Behind the stone stoves were several wooden tables that served as workbenches. Stone pots and other utensils were moved from the cafeteria. In order to prevent the firewood from getting wet, the orcs wrapped it in animal skins when moving it.
Next to the kitchen were two warehouses. One was used to store materials ready for trade, such as baskets, animal skins and clothing. The other was empty and was used to store materials that were traded in. Next to the two warehouses was an office, with the back of the office near the window set up like a boss' desk, with a set of tables and chairs on each side.
Chen Shiyue explained the purpose of the office, and Yinfeng was very excited and sat behind the boss's desk happily. Not to mention, he looked like a domineering CEO, and a domineering CEO with impeccable appearance. Of course, there was no paper and pen now, at most he was just pretending to be a CEO.
Yiyun looked at Yinfeng sitting behind the boss's desk and his expression darkened. He would make a better room and tables and chairs like this one.
Outside the four compartments is the dining area, which is furnished with some square tables and chairs, which were also moved from the cafeteria. At first glance, this arrangement looks a bit like a farmhouse restaurant next to a gas station on a provincial highway in modern society. Of course, it would be more similar if the wooden rafts were replaced with brick walls.
The trading center was ready, and it was a great success, so we should celebrate and have a big meal. So, at Chen Shiyue's suggestion, Chi Qing brought some orcs and females to the kitchen of the trading center to cook food.
In the commodity trading area, there were also many tables, and the materials prepared for trading were being put on them one after another. Various baskets, various styles of animal skin clothing, as well as pots, pans, and flints, filled the commodity trading area to the brim.
Everyone was talking and laughing around the commodity trading area, and every orc and female was extremely happy.
Chen Shiyue thought, there were no firecrackers to set off at the trading center celebration, so why not let the orcs roar a few times.
When Yan Yi and other beasts heard it, they were very happy. They decided that they must spread the roar to the other side and disturb the orcs in Beifeng City, because the orcs have such good hearing.
“Ouch…”
"Yaocheng Trading Center is open!"
"Yaocheng Trading Center is open!"
"Yaocheng Trading Center is open!"
The beastmen howled at the top of their lungs, and the females covered their ears. Chen Shiyue felt that this was even more deafening than the sound of cannon fire.
Deep in the grassland on the other side of the river, most of the orcs and females were immersed in sleep at this time. They were all tired after continuous migration. Although the orcs on duty did not sleep, they lay lazily in the tent. No one was in the mood to patrol in the rain. According to their perception, there were no dangerous creatures around.
Suddenly, a roar came from the opposite bank, waking up the sleeping orcs and scaring the orcs on duty.
Xiong Li sat up and asked, "City Lord, is there a beast trying to invade us?"
Lie Bai turned into a snake and poked his head out of the tent. His snake head stood straight on top of the tent. He looked around for a few times and said in surprise, "There is a big tent on the grass near the river in Yaocheng across the street. The sound came from there."
Xiong Li stood up and said, "What a nice smell! Where does this smell come from? Lie Bai, can you smell it?"
There were sounds of surprise coming from the tents next to us.
"It smells so good, is it the smell of food?"
"I feel like, where does the smell of food come from?"
. . . . . .
Liefeng stood at the door of the tent and said, "Fanba, take me to the sky to have a look."
A peregrine falcon flew over from the next tent, and Liefeng jumped onto its back.
