Chapter 198 Traces
Bao Nan nodded. "Yes, we used to live in the north, but I like freedom, so Qi started traveling with me."
Xiang Qi, that's the name of that male orc.
Lin Baiyan turned her head and exchanged a glance with Lang Cang, then moved closer to Bao Nan and asked softly, "Have you seen any trace of a pack of white wolves?"
"White Wolf Beastman?" Bao Nan frowned.
Lin Baiyan nodded vigorously, "Hmm...it might not be completely white."
“Probably…” He turned his head and glanced at Lang Cang.
Lang Cang picked up the conversation and said in a deep voice, "It could be ten people, or it could be more."
He didn't know if Lang Xun had brought all his people, or if they had scattered like them, but according to the Star Wolf tribe's custom, the tribespeople would usually gather in groups of several dozen.
The Star Wolf tribe is quite xenophobic, and outsiders are hard to trust. However, they are also the most powerful tribe on the grassland, protecting the lush and fertile pastures that allow many tribes to live and thrive.
Upon hearing Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang's descriptions, Bao Nan felt a sense of familiarity, but couldn't quite place them.
It was Xiang Qi behind him who nudged his sub-orc, then leaned close to Bao Nan's ear and said, "The West, those orcs in the West."
Bao Nan slapped his forehead. "That's right! It's to the west!"
Hearing Bao Nan say this, hope ignited in Lin Baiyan's eyes. "What do you mean? Have you seen those orcs in the west?"
But after remembering, Leopard Xi stopped talking and looked at the two orcs in front of her with a wary expression. "Why are you asking about them?"
Seeing this, Lin Baiyan knew that they had met before, but he was not sure whether the two orcs were good or bad, so he hesitated.
Wolf Cang had once told them that the Star Wolf tribe had been wiped out. Wolf Cang only knew that the Burning Pig Beastmen and Giant Lizard Beastmen were involved, but he did not know where they came from.
But having finally obtained even a little bit of news, he was unwilling to give up. Lin Baiyan looked up and took a very serious look at Bao Nan in front of him. His eyes were clear, and he acted very decisively.
Take a gamble.
Lin Baiyan gritted her teeth, "We are their friends. We lost contact with them a long time ago, and we are very worried about them."
Bao Nan was also trying to discern the truth or falsehood in Lin Baiyan's words. It was no wonder he was so wary; the group of white wolf beastmen had once saved him and Xiang Qi by chance. If it weren't for them, Xiang Qi would probably have fallen off the cliff.
Although they paid me afterwards, it was still a life-saving favor.
Moreover, he noticed that the orcs had been keeping a low profile, seemingly hiding their whereabouts. Yet, they still stepped forward to save the two of them, so he couldn't just rashly reveal the information to others.
“I’ve never heard of them having any friends,” Bao Nan said cautiously.
At this moment, Lang Cang spoke up, "Not friends, I am one of their people."
Upon hearing this, Lin Baiyan and Bao Nan both widened their eyes in surprise. Lang Cang gave Lin Baiyan a reassuring look and then looked at Bao Nan.
Wolf Cang's senses were extremely sharp. He could tell that the sub-beastman in front of him had no ill intentions and that his eyes were clear enough to see right through him.
Bao Nan looked at them with suspicion, while Xiang Qi tugged at his animal skin skirt from behind.
He could sense the signals coming from his male orc, so what he said was probably true.
At this point, Bao Nan finally admitted, "I did see a group of white wolf orcs in a forest to the west."
Bao Nan briefly recounted what had happened to him and Xiang Qi, saying, "This happened last snow season. They rescued Qi and me, but we didn't have much interaction."
They wandered around, encountering many orcs along the way, which is why Leopard Nan didn't initially recognize which pack of wolf-orcs they were.
"But they are very vigilant."
Upon hearing what Bao Nan said, Lang Cang's expression suddenly became excited. "Isn't the leader a white wolf with a pure white body and gray fur on its chest?"
Bao Nan thought about it carefully and nodded affirmatively, "That's right, that orc is very strong, and there are quite a few of them."
"Do you know where they are now?" Lin Baiyan looked at Bao Nan eagerly. They had met before, and perhaps he could find some clues.
Bao Nan shook his head and shrugged helplessly. "Although I've seen them before, as I said, they're very vigilant, so I don't know where they are now."
Lin Baiyan's bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and he felt somewhat discouraged.
Leopard Nan is right. The Star Wolf tribe has been wiped out. They don't know whether Wolf Seeker has established a new territory or has been searching for the rest of his tribe.
Lang Cang's clenched fist turned even whiter.
It's okay, it's okay.
Now that we have a clue, it means they are alive and well on the Orc continent. Sooner or later, he will find them and bring them home.
"Don't worry, we will definitely find them," Lin Baiyan reassured Lang Cang by patting his arm.
Lang Cang nodded. Lang Xun's combat strength was not weak. He was the captain of the Star Wolf Tribe's hunting team, and his combat strength in the tribe was second only to the tribe leader, Lang Ye.
Since they are alive, they will meet again sooner or later.
Lin Baiyan's eyes darted around, and he took a full bamboo tube of salt from Lang Cang's basket and handed it to Bao Nan.
Bao Nan looked at the salt that was handed to him and said, "Too much."
There's enough salt to buy five of his stalls.
Lin Baiyan blinked at the sub-beastman in front of him, without saying a word.
Bao Nan understood. "You want me and Qi to go find them?"
"No, no, no, it's not that. It's just that if you see them or similar white wolf beastmen again on your travels in the future, could you please mention Lang Cang's name?"
He doesn't have the nerve to ask someone to make this trip for them; whether Bao Nan is even willing is another matter!
Tell them to come north.
Lin Baiyan added, "But apart from the White Wolf Beastmen, if any other beastmen ask, do not tell them about the White Wolf's whereabouts."
That's not difficult. He and Xiang Qi were always wandering around anyway, so it was just a matter of a word.
But this sub-beastman in front of them seems far too trusting. Leopard Nan raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you afraid we'll take your salt and then not do anything?"
There's a lot of salt in front of them; it's probably enough to last them a year.
Lin Baiyan smiled slyly, "You are not that kind of beast."
Judging from the wary look that Bao Nan and the others had shown for Lang Xun, he knew that Bao Nan was not a greedy orc.
Leopard Nan looked quietly at the fair-skinned sub-orc in front of him, then suddenly laughed loudly, "Alright, I agree."
This orc was surprisingly to his liking!
