Chapter 278 The Captured "Eagle"
Lin Baiyan truly hadn't expected that the passion of a sub-beastman upon reaching adulthood would be so overwhelming. It took him and Lang Cang three days of wild and unrestrained behavior at home before they calmed down.
For the past three days, he hasn't even left his house; Lang Cang has been bringing him his meals.
Once Lin Baiyan felt that his body had returned to normal, he quickly left the house while Lang Cang was dealing with the construction team's affairs.
Lang Cang said he had caught a few eagles for him, and he wanted to go and see them.
He encountered many clansmen along the way, and everyone greeted him warmly. Lin Baiyan responded to each one somewhat awkwardly.
He disappeared for four days at once, and no one knew how Lang Cang explained it to them. He couldn't just casually say that he had come of age, could he?
Lang Cang wanted to say that he wished the whole world knew that Bai Yan had come of age and become his partner, so that there would be far fewer covetous eyes on him.
However, after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to say it, fearing that Lin Baiyan would be furious and wouldn't let him sleep with her if she found out.
So Lang Cang made up an excuse that Lin Baiyan needed to stay home to study blueprints and fooled them. After all, Lin Baiyan had a history of staying home for two or three days to draw blueprints.
Wolf Cang's worries were really unnecessary. Judging from the beastmen of Ten Thousand Beasts City, the High Priest was simply the most beloved messenger of the Beast God. Their respect for him far outweighed their love for him.
Moreover, they couldn't possibly outdo the city lord, who was both jealous and incredibly powerful.
"How's the High Priest's blueprint coming along?" Just as I reached the activity room, I bumped into Lu Xiao, who was coming out of it.
Lin Baiyan was completely bewildered. "Blueprints?"
“Yes, the clan leader said you’re working on new blueprints, and I was thinking of going over to help you.” Lu Xiao blinked. He did want to go, but Lang Cang stopped him, saying that Lin Baiyan had just had an idea and it wasn’t perfect yet.
Lin Baiyan quickly agreed, "Oh right, right, I remember now. I've almost finished researching it. I'll get it for you in a bit."
Fortunately, he had studied the blueprints for the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) beforehand, so he could now entrust the manufacture of the kang to Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao had no doubt whatsoever, "Alright, I'll come find you later."
Lin Baiyan quickly nodded, "I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, Lin Baiyan quickly fled the embarrassing place.
Lu Xiao was left standing there, staring blankly at Lin Baiyan's retreating figure.
In the breeding area, Huan Cun was leading a Silver Tiger Clan sub-orc to chop hay.
This is the grass they cut in spring and summer. After cutting, it is dried and stored in the warehouse so that it can be used as food for the animals when plants are scarce in winter.
"High Priest, what brings you here?" Badger quickly put down his cleaver and greeted him with a joyful expression.
The Silver Tiger Clan sub-orcs beside him secretly sized up their High Priest of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
"So handsome!" Lin Baiyan was a gentle and refined man with a smile on his face. He thought the High Priest was just as handsome as their Elder Hu Bing.
Lin Baiyan smiled and said, "I heard from Lang Cang that he brought back a few eagles with his hunting team, so I came to take a look."
Huan Cun hurriedly tried to lead him to the cage where the eagle was kept, but Lin Baiyan raised his hand and said, "Wait, I rarely come here, let's go see the other animals first."
Hearing him say that, Huancun led him to a large shed on the left, where rows of colorful phoenix chickens were kept, and every now and then a colorful phoenix egg would fall into the cage.
"These are the nests of the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken, the Long-eared Rabbit is behind them, and then the Pan-Lamb Sheep," Huan Cun explained to Lin Baiyan as he spoke.
Speaking of which, Lin Baiyan hadn't been to the breeding area for a long time. Looking at the clean and tidy ground of the breeding area, although the smell of animals was obvious, it was not unbearable, which showed that the badger had put in a lot of effort.
The breeding area is under the management of the Third Company, whose leader is Yang Ye. The breeding area usually has ten orcs, including the regular members and Huan Cun. They are mainly responsible for cleaning and sanitation of the breeding area, making food, and letting the animals roam.
Looking at the clean and tidy breeding area, Lin Baiyan praised without reservation, "Badger, you've done a great job!"
Badger scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "It's all what I should do."
Huancun is now a team leader in the breeding area. He takes care of the animals diligently every day, and his eyes are full of satisfaction. "Our breeding area has expanded several times compared to before. We can collect a lot of colorful phoenix eggs and goat milk every day."
The two walked forward while talking, with Lin Baiyan listening attentively to Huan Cun's words.
This was their first time engaging in such large-scale breeding, and they encountered many problems. After listening to their advice, Lin Baiyan offered several suggestions, which Huancun cherished.
As we walked, we arrived at the innermost part of the breeding area.
"Oh right, that's the cage where the eagle is kept." Badger pointed to the cage in the corner.
Lin Baiyan looked in the direction he was pointing and blinked in confusion.
this?
Is this the eagle they captured?
Lin Baiyan wanted to get closer to observe, but the bird seemed to sense that Lin Baiyan was approaching, and it suddenly dove down, about to peck at him.
Lin Baiyan instinctively stepped back, only to see that the little bird was trapped inside the cage and had not succeeded.
You read that right, this isn't an eagle at all, but a small peregrine falcon.
Moreover, none of the birds captured in the other cages were eagles.
Pigeon Peregrine
Lin Baiyan found it somewhat amusing; how could someone possibly grab the wrong person?
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The orcs have never seen what a real eagle looks like. It's strange, though. This is the orc continent, but he has never seen an orc who can fly, nor an orc who lives in the sea. It's as if they assume that only those who run on land are orcs.
Perhaps this is the limitation that the Beast God imposed on them. The orcs on land alone have already stirred up so many storms. The sky and sea are too vast. If the orcs are given too much power, who knows what the orc continent will become.
Thinking about this, Lin Baiyan also felt that it was better for orcs not to have wings.
He reached out and patted the cage containing the pigeons. "You'll start first, so be sure to do your best." Pigeons are gentle by nature, so it's the perfect place to start.
If it performs poorly, this plump pigeon will be eaten!
Lin Baiyan's eyes brightened slightly as she looked at the plump pigeon in the cage. Pigeon soup tastes delicious too!
The little pigeon saw the fragrant orc in front of it and instinctively wanted to get closer to him and take a good sniff, but after rolling a couple of steps, it felt a cold wind behind it.
The fat pigeon instinctively stopped moving.
Pigeon:"?"
I have a bad feeling about this!
