Chapter 187: Still Too Young
They proceeded slowly and leisurely, with Lang Cang taking the time to teach the Silver Fox tribe beastmen hunting techniques.
The Silver Fox Clan's beast form is basically a snow fox, with sharp claws and teeth and extremely fast speed, but they lack stamina. Once their stamina catches up, their combat power is greatly enhanced.
These days, after Lang Cang's ruthless treatment of the foxes, the Silver Fox Beastmen have obviously become stronger. They seem to have realized their own changes, from howling and wailing at the beginning to seriously following Lang Cang's training later.
It was tiring, but I really benefited.
After this, several tribes began to show signs of being led by Lang Cang.
Putting aside Tiger Fang, who had always admired Wolf Cang's fighting prowess, even Fox Tail was impressed by Wolf Cang's leadership abilities over the past few days.
Fox Ice remained as lazy as ever, teasing Wolf Cang from time to time, making Wolf Cang's eyes blaze with anger, which made Fox Ice feel extremely comfortable.
Strangely enough, Lang Cang, who was clearly such a mature and steady male beastman, could get enraged by Hu Bing's few words every time he met him.
Then, feeling wronged, he went to Lin Baiyan for judgment. He didn't say anything, but simply transformed into a big white wolf, put his head on his paws, blinked his wolf eyes, and fluttered his ears, his eyes seeming to want to say something but holding back.
He learned all of this from Hu Bing, who used this trick against him from the very beginning!
Sure enough, Lin Baiyan would always soften when she saw the pitiful white wolf, often rubbing and hugging it. She would also use the ox horn comb she had made for the wolf to groom its fur during her rest time.
The white wolf felt the soft, warm hands on its body, and a barely perceptible hint of smugness flashed in its eyes.
Fight him? Hmph!
It must be said that the white wolf is huge and sheds a lot of fur, with two molting periods a year, each lasting half a year.
Every time he was groomed, it was like snowing. Lin Baiyan felt a little sorry for the falling fur. If they were in the tribe, they could have saved it up for Lang Cang and maybe even made a wolf fur rug!
All the money he had saved up was still neatly tied in the animal hide.
After Lin Baiyan finished grooming the wolf, he patted the big white wolf's head. The wolf stood up and shook off its loose fur with great majesty. Then it howled at Lin Baiyan, slowly walked past Hu Bing, and gave him a disdainful look.
A flicker of interest crossed Fox Ice's eyes, and then...
With a snap, a glossy snow fox appeared beside Lang Cang. It shook its silky fur at Lang Cang and then rushed straight to Lin Baiyan's side!
"Hmm~ Hmm—" Little White Flame looked at my fur, which was much better than that fat, big, and molting dead white wolf.
That's why Lang Cang couldn't understand what Hu Bing was saying. If he did, he would definitely rush up and fight that dead fox. What do you mean by fat and big? He's tall and mighty!
Lin Baiyan watched with amusement as the little snow fox frantically gestured with its paws in front of its chest, making "uh-uh" noises.
This was the first time he had ever heard a fox cry; so this was what it sounded like.
Lin Baiyan took the opportunity to hug the snow fox, and then subconsciously rubbed its fur with his fingers.
Indeed, as Hu Bing said, his fur felt smooth and glossy to the touch, and the down inside was soft and warm.
Fox Ice instinctively hugged her tail to her chest, blinking innocently at Lin Baiyan.
"Biu~" Lin Baiyan felt his heart being shot by the furry thing. He buried his head in Hu Bing's arms and took a deep breath of the fur.
Fox Ice felt the warm breath against his chest. He glanced sideways with his fox eyes and saw the big white wolf not far away giving him a provocative look, then whimpering even more sweetly.
Big White Wolf: "???"
The white wolf was in a fit of impotent rage, wishing he could drag that scheming fox out of Bai Yan's arms, spin him 360 degrees in a Thomas Flair, and throw him back into the snow mountain!
Fox Ice didn't care how frustrated Wolf Cang was!
He was comfortably enjoying the closeness of the little orc, and a gurgling sound unconsciously came from his throat.
Fox Ice is a sub-beastman, so there's no need to worry about that. Lin Baiyan took a deep breath before raising his head, letting out a satisfied sigh, and then waved his hand generously, saying, "I'll cook today!"
The little snow fox's fox eyes lit up instantly!
It was worth it for him to pretend to be a cub and let Bai Yan suck his fur while he was in his mid-twenties!
Could we have more of these amazing opportunities?
Fox Ice playfully pulled Lin Baiyan's head back into its embrace, patting it generously with its paws, "Mmm—"
Sigh! Sigh as much as you like!
Such incidents happened quite often, and later even Tiger Kite joined the ranks of those being sucked, since sucking her feathers would earn her Lin Baiyan's happy cooking, making it a worthwhile deal!
While there were moments of ease and comfort along the way, dangers lurked everywhere. Once, they accidentally entered a misty forest. Relying on Lang Cang's strong sense of direction, and with Lin Baiyan recording the map of the area they had entered, they managed to get out safely after circling around several times.
On the twenty-eighth day of the journey, Hu Yang stood on a high mountain and looked into the distant valley, where there were already signs of orc activity in the forest.
He turned to look at his companions behind him, a relaxed smile on his face. "We should be arriving soon."
Everyone cheered upon hearing this, but after a brief moment of joy, the leading male orcs regained their serious expressions.
“In previous years, the trade fair was jointly organized by several powerful tribes in the north. They received a portion of the payment and were responsible for maintaining order at the trade fair.”
"But it's uncertain which tribe will lead this year," he said in a deep voice. "We need to be careful since their background is unclear."
Everyone nodded seriously. At this moment, Lang Cang suddenly said, "Let's go in separately."
Upon hearing this, the beastmen paused for a moment, somewhat disapproving. "That won't work; there are simply too few of you."
However, Lang Cang and Lin Baiyan seemed to have already discussed it and were very determined.
Fox Ice and Tiger Sun had no choice but to compromise.
Since they had to separate, they could only pretend they weren't familiar with each other from now on. So the Silver Tiger Clan led the Silver Fox Clan into the trading market first.
Lin Baiyan carefully took out his feathered crown from a leather bag, put on a wolf-skin coat, and adorned himself with many jingling ornaments, making himself look like a nouveau riche.
He tossed his hair and casually led the beastmen of the Azure Flame Tribe into the trading market.
