Chapter 438 Pig's Hidden Move
The desolate land was covered with snow. It was already the sixteenth month in the north, but the wind blowing across the plains was still biting.
A long convoy of cars traveled across the vast plains.
They have been on their journey for five days.
Above the convoy, a small bird hovered in the sky, guiding their direction.
Besides Fatty and Little Peregrine Falcon, they also brought two other birds with them this time, so they could take turns.
The little peregrine falcon had been by Lang Cang's side before, and it was he who brought back Lang Cang's letter this time. With the little peregrine falcon around, they were able to better pinpoint Lang Cang's location.
Lin Baiyan sat at the front of the carriage. "Let's speed up our pace. We should try to get to the south within half a month."
"High Priest, isn't this a bit too hasty?" Yang Ye hesitated.
Lin Baiyan shook his head. "The North and the South are thousands of miles apart. If we don't hurry, we might be too late to make it when we arrive."
"Let the soldiers take turns resting in the carriages in three shifts, and try our best to get south." Lin Baiyan knew that doing so would be extremely exhausting for everyone, but time was the most precious thing right now, and they couldn't afford to wait.
Yang Ye nodded. "I'll give the order. You should get into the carriage now."
Spring had not yet arrived in the north, and the wind was exceptionally biting. The flowers felt like knives on people's faces. Lin Baiyan had finally recovered from her fever; she hoped nothing else would happen.
Lin Baiyan smiled helplessly, "I'm not made of pottery."
"Yes, yes, you're not made of pottery, but you're much more valuable than pottery." Yang Ye pushed him inside, and Lin Baiyan had no choice but to follow his force into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, a sub-beastman raised his head. He had wheat-colored skin and a particularly cheerful smile. He was none other than Bao Nan, who had accompanied Xi Zhao on his journey to find the other beastmen of the Star Wolf Clan. Beside him was his partner, Xiang Qi.
At this moment, Xiang Qi was earnestly boiling water for Bao Nan, with several pieces of pastry placed beside him.
"What, you got kicked out by Yang Ye?" Bao Nan took the cup from Best Partner and handed it to him, then shoved it into Lin Baiyan's hand. "I told you not to go out, now look what happened!"
Lin Baiyan, clutching his cup, said, "I'm worried, I'll go outside and check out the terrain."
Xiang Qi saw that the water he had boiled for his partner was now in Lin Baiyan's hands. He dared not speak out in anger and could only look at Bao Nan with a wronged expression.
Bao Nan reached out and rubbed his little partner's head. "What's there to worry about? There are birds in the sky, Xiang Qi and I are in front, and the Spirit Dog Clan's Quan Guo is behind. If we still can't find the city lord and the others, then we are too incompetent."
"I just wanted to see..." For some reason, after leaving the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, he felt a vague unease, as if he had forgotten something.
Xiang Qi nestled beside Bao Nan, as obedient as a golden retriever. "High Priest, rest assured, Nan and I have traveled around for years and have some knowledge of the terrain in the south. We will definitely be able to find the city lord smoothly."
"Thank you for coming with us," Lin Baiyan said sincerely, looking at the two of them.
Bao Nan waved his hand cheerfully, "What's the big deal? Qi and I are used to wandering anyway."
He changed the subject with a smile and said, "But if you really feel bad about it, could you make an exception for us and let me and him join the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, so that we can have a home?"
“After all these years of wandering, it’s time for us to have a cub,” Bao Nan said gently, patting his partner’s head.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Qi's eyes lit up instantly!
After all these years, Bao Nan has finally made up her mind to have cubs with him!
Lin Baiyan watched the interaction between the two of them with amusement, "Alright, stop feeding me dog food."
Hearing him say that, Bao Nan and Xiang Qi exchanged a stunned look. "What is dog food?"
"Oh dear, it just means showing off your love! You're taking advantage of the fact that my male beastman isn't with me!" Lin Baiyan realized she had let something slip and quickly changed her tune.
A little embarrassed by Lin Baiyan's teasing, Bao Nan reached out and pushed Xiang Qi, who was clinging to him tightly, "Alright, are you going to make a fool of yourself in front of the High Priest?"
Xiang Qi didn't care. He wrapped his arms around Bao Nan's arm and said, "So what? We're a proper couple! The High Priest won't mind!"
Lin Baiyan looked ashamed and said, "Alright, alright, I promise you, I'll leave you a house in the city. Now hurry up and get out of my carriage!"
Xiang Qi reluctantly pulled Bao Nan away from there. Lin Baiyan leaned against the carriage and lifted the curtain to look at the sky outside.
I wonder how things are going with Lang Cang.
In a secluded corner, in the dark and sunless dungeon of the training camp, a pile of unidentified objects lay in a sunlit corner.
The faint sounds of male orcs talking could be heard from the dungeon entrance: "I wonder when the high priest and the others will return."
"Oh, what bad luck! I wasn't chosen in the draw this time! Otherwise, I could have gone south to broaden my horizons." One of the male orcs said with a regretful expression, "You know, the High Priest led our Beast City to expand into new territory!"
In the minds of the orcs, going out to conquer is to expand their territory; on the orc continent, this is a perfectly normal behavior.
There are very few leaders like Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang who have stayed in their small territory since they established the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. After all, the blood of orcs is innately infused with the spirit of adventure and exploration.
They never feared death; for them, death was simply another form of rebirth.
To die for one's tribe is the highest honor in the hearts of all male orcs.
His companion nodded in agreement, "That's right, we were just unlucky enough to run into trouble."
"But don't be discouraged, there's still a long way to go, and there will always be a time when the two of us can step up!" He patted his companion on the shoulder.
"That's right, our Beast City will become the largest city on this beastman continent sooner or later!"
Hearing the conversation between the two male orcs, the unidentified object twitched slowly, and a face gradually emerged from the shadows. It was none other than the boar they had captured in the Superb Orc Tribe. Perhaps because he hadn't seen sunlight for too long, he was somewhat unaccustomed to the blinding light. "Ha... Want to become the number one tribe on the orc continent? Don't you even need to ask that lord's opinion first..."
Pig Tyrant looked unwilling. He was afraid he would never be able to return to the Tyrant Pig Tribe to find his grandfather. But he didn't come away empty-handed; at least he found out the whereabouts of the two holy crystals.
"The City of Ten Thousand Beasts... is merely a stepping stone for that lord to ascend to the top. The Beastman Continent has been divided for too long; it's time for a true unification!" Pig Tyrant's face was exceptionally sinister, his eyes filled with a maniacal laugh.
"The Boar Tribe! It will be the largest tribe on the Orcish Continent in the future!" Boar cackled, reaching under a pile of hay to pull out a sharpened piece of wood, and slashed it fiercely across his heart.
One cut wasn't enough, so they added another, slashing the wound until it was a bloody mess, until the wound became big enough that Pig Tyrant was on the verge of death.
At that moment, something seemed to be slowly wriggling in his chest. After a few moments, a worm more than an inch long slowly swelled up, seemingly sucking his blood.
Pig Violent felt a sharp pain in his chest, acutely aware of the life slipping away. He struggled and rolled on the ground, his screams incessant. His eyes were filled with intense resentment and hatred. "Ten Thousand Beasts City... if it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this?"
