Chapter 269 Appearing Out of Thin Air
Wolf Cang was extremely fast, and before long, the big white wolf led the kitten to the southwestern mountains.
The kitten stood on the mountain, looking at the valley that had split open in the middle. There was a small flaw there, which must have been made by the beastmen.
The big white wolf swiftly carried the kitten into the valley. Then, Lin Baiyan transformed into human form and took out a Qiankun bag from his small animal skin pouch. Lang Cang stepped forward and stood beside him. "How are you going to put them in there?"
Lin Baiyan pondered for a moment, then opened his Qiankun bag, squatted down, and placed his hand on a piece of iron rock that was more than a meter tall. "Go in."
The stone under his hand vanished instantly. Even though he had seen it once before, Lang Cang still found it hard to believe that he was witnessing such a magical scene again.
If it weren't for Lin Baiyan, he probably would never have believed that such a magical artifact existed in the world.
Before long, all the rubble that had been dug out of the valley had been collected into Lin Baiyan's Qiankun bag. As for the unmined rubble, he couldn't move it. He had just tried, and the iron stones that hadn't been knocked off didn't budge.
Even so, Lin Baiyan was already very satisfied. The iron ore he had just collected was enough to save them at least two or three months of hauling!
After collecting everything, Lin Baiyan didn't rush back.
This was his second visit to the Southwest Mountains since discovering the iron ore. He wanted to investigate the place again, as his last visit was too rushed and he hadn't even had a chance to assess the approximate reserves of the mineral vein.
Thanks to his orc body, Lin Baiyan's eyesight was excellent even at night, allowing him to walk on the bumpy mountain as if it were flat ground.
Under the moonlight, Lang Cang and Lin Baiyan walked quietly along the mountain range for a long time. Lin Baiyan was wearing a cloak, and her hands were red from the cold.
Lang Cang reached out and cupped Lin Baiyan's left hand, which was holding the book cover, in his palm. "How much longer?"
Lin Baiyan's right hand kept moving, "Almost there, almost there!"
He made a quick note, closed the animal skin book, and looked up at Lang Cang with a smile. "That's about it, let's go!"
As soon as Lin Baiyan finished speaking, Lang Cang quickly closed his animal skin cloak, then wrapped Lin Baiyan up in his arms and muttered, "What if you get a fever from the cold?"
Lin Baiyan was caught off guard and pulled into an embrace. Hearing the male orc's soft complaints, she still smiled and patted him, "Let's go back."
Lang Cang nodded. A majestic white wolf stood out in the moonlight. Lang Cang's fur was fluffy and smooth, reflecting the moonlight with shimmering silver light.
Lin Baiyan first tied the large animal skin bag to Lang Cang's body, then transformed into a kitten, carrying her own animal skin bag and clothes in her mouth, meowing as she jumped onto the large animal skin bag. After crawling inside, she patted Lang Cang's back with her paws, "Meow~"
"set off!"
Although the journey was not far, it was already late at night when they arrived at the tribe.
Lin Baiyan did not put the iron stones directly into the blacksmith's workshop. Although it was late at night and all was quiet, there was no guarantee that some orc would be startled by the sudden appearance of this mountain of iron stones.
He and the white wolf ran to the waterfall outside the tribe, and Lin Baiyan threw the iron stone from his Qiankun bag over there.
Looking at the piles of little mountains, the kitten patted its paws contentedly, then the big white wolf picked it up by the neck. "Let's go, go to sleep!"
The kitten was held by the scruff of its neck, and could only obediently be carried away.
The next morning, a female orc from the Silver Fox tribe walked out of the tribe in a daze. She needed to hurry up and wash up, as she would be helping Captain Dog Spirit and the others prepare breakfast for the tribespeople.
After so many days of classes, everyone has come to understand the importance of hygiene. The beastmen no longer have unkempt beards and unkempt hair; everyone keeps themselves clean and tidy every day.
The female orc was half-asleep when she suddenly stumbled and almost fell.
She quickly regained her balance and steadied herself, instantly becoming fully aware of her surroundings. Looking down with a sense of lingering fear, she saw it was a stone.
That's a huge rock. If someone falls on it, they'll get a bloody head wound.
When Hu Wan looked up again, he saw a series of small hills appearing in front of him.
What's happening here?
Why are there so many rocks next to the waterfall?
Fox Night rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then opened them again, but the stones still hadn't disappeared.
Fox quickly wiped her face and headed into the tribe.
On the way back, they bumped into a few orcs who came to wash up. Foxy said to each one, "There are so many more stones next to our waterfall!"
Fox Night had always worked with the logistics team and had never seen what Tie Shi looked like, which led to this big misunderstanding.
Before long, everyone knew that many rocky hills had suddenly appeared beside the waterfall where people usually washed up.
Later, the beastmen who were washing up took Fox Night to the waterfall again. When they saw the small hills standing there, they were all very surprised.
An orc picked up a piece of pebbles from the ground, examined it in his hand, and said, "Isn't this iron stone?"
How come they're all here?
Fox Night was somewhat confused, "Iron Stone?"
Some of the unsuspecting orcs nearby also cast puzzled glances at them.
The male orc smiled and held up the stone in his hand. "This is called iron stone. It's a type of ore that the high priest discovered in the southwestern mountains. It can be used to forge ironware."
"It's normal that you haven't seen it before, since most of the blacksmiths are now orcs from the Azure Flame Clan."
Even among the orcs of the Silver Tiger and Silver Fox clans, only a small portion know that iron tools are not yet in formal use.
Fox Wan nodded as if she understood, then asked, "Shouldn't these iron rocks be in the southwestern mountains? How did they suddenly appear here?"
At this moment, the male orc holding the stone was also a little puzzled. "Yeah, how did we end up here?"
"No, I have to go and tell the high priest and the others."
The male orc, carrying the iron stone, headed towards the tribe, only to bump into Fox River and Tiger Sun, who were rushing over.
Hu Jiang had just received the news from Lang Cang and rushed over with Hu Yang. He hadn't expected that the priest, who had said yesterday that he would find stones for them, would bring them over today. The efficiency was too fast!
"Could the clan leader be trying to frame us?" Hu Yang muttered to Hu Jiang with some suspicion.
"We'll know whether they went to check it out or not!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Fox River spotted the iron stone in the hand of the male orc approaching them. "Did you get this from beside the waterfall?"
Seeing that he knew, the male orc quickly nodded, "That's right, Third Company Commander, how did you know? I was just about to go find the High Priest."
Hu Jiang grabbed him and said, "No need to look anymore. The clan leader sent me. You should come back with me."
He knew without a doubt that the high priest must have been working tirelessly all night for these iron stones, so he should let him get some rest.
