I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 318 On the road

The orcs from the central tribe came with Zhan, and they had packed up all the things they wanted to take, which were placed in a corner of the square.

The Sky Beastman found a place and transformed into his beast form. Zhan led his people to tie all the baskets to their bodies, and Bai Ling and the others also tied their baskets to them.

Bai Ling and Chen were about to set off when Feng's eyes reddened again. Cang patted Bai Ling's shoulder and said, "Alright, you and Chen go up. Your father and I will take good care of ourselves."

Bai Ling's eyes were also a little red. He stretched out his arms and hugged his father at the same time: "Father, Father, I will take good care of myself and Chen. I will bring you gifts when I come back."

Chen also came over and hugged Feng and Cang. There were already tears in his eyes. Seeing the two brothers like this, Feng's sorrow of parting was somewhat dispelled. He smiled and said, "Alright, you two go on. If you keep going like this, people will laugh at you."

Bai Ling and Chen waved to their father and climbed onto the back of the Sky Beastman.

The two climbed up and sat down. Bai Ling sat down next to Yue, and Chen sat down next to Xiao.

Yue handed a robe to Bai Ling and said, "This time we are going on a long trip. The Sky Beastmen fly quite high, so the Elder told us to all wrap ourselves in animal skins. The wind in the sky is very strong, and even in summer, it feels cool when it blows on people."

When I visited the surrounding tribes in the past, the Sky Orcs flew relatively low and slowly. Even so, older or cold-sensitive Orcs would wrap themselves in clothes or lie down and bury their entire bodies in the Orc feathers.

This time it's a long journey. The Sky Orcs will fly higher and faster. The orcs riding on their backs will have to be tied with ropes and wear animal skins. Their faces will also have to be covered with animal skins to prevent them from breathing.

Of course, the best option is to curl up on the back of a Sky Orc. When flying, the feathers on the Sky Orc's back will be blown by the wind to form a natural barrier, so you don't need to wear animal skin or cover your mouth and nose while lying inside.

Today is the first day of flying. In order to allow the orcs of the High Tree Tribe to adapt better, the Great Elder gave advance notice to the Sky Orcs and asked them not to fly too fast at first.

This wasn't the first time Bai Ling had ridden on the back of a Sky Beastman, but it was the first time the Sky Beastman had flown so high and so fast. Bai Ling and the others found it all very novel.

Bai Lingyue nestled together, her left hand and Yue's right hand clasped tightly together. The whistling wind passed by them, all of which Bai Ling found fascinating.

The white clouds in the sky were very close to them, as if they could reach out and touch them. Whenever Bai Ling tried to reach out, the clouds would fly past him like swimming fish.

Bai Ling's face and head were covered with animal skins, with only his eyes showing. All the orcs sitting there were dressed the same way, their bodies completely covered in animal skins.

Bai Ling wanted to say a few words to Yue, but his mouth was covered by animal skin, and with the whistling wind around him, even if he spoke, Yue, who was sitting next to him, might not be able to hear him clearly.

Bai Ling grabbed Yue's hand and tickled her palm with two fingers.

Yue's eyes suddenly widened, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he lowered his gaze.

A smile appeared on Yue's lips. He took the initiative and held Bai Ling's hand in his own. Bai Ling didn't say anything and just let Yue hold his hand completely. Both of their hands were hidden under the wide sleeves of their clothes, so Bai Ling couldn't see what Yue was going to do with his hand.

But it was precisely because he couldn't see that his sense of touch was even clearer. He felt a little warmth fall on the back of his hand; it was Yue's thumb.

Yue gently rubbed her thumb against the back of her hand, the skin rubbing against skin, the warmth quickly turning into scalding heat.

Yue looked at Bai Ling with a smile in his eyes, then tilted his body and rested his head on Bai Ling's shoulder.

Yue released Bai Ling's hand, then slipped his arm through Bai Ling's crook, linking his arms around Bai Ling's. He shifted his body, finding a comfortable position, and then closed his eyes.

Sitting on the back of the Sky Beastman, the scenery was almost always the same. At first, it felt a little novel, but after a while, it became boring. So Yue leaned on Bai Ling's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

Bai Ling also shifted her body to make Yue more comfortable.

The whistling wind had already passed by the two of them, but it seemed to have lost some of its harshness and gained some gentleness.

As the weather began to heat up, the Sky Orcs descended. As soon as they stopped, the orcs began to peel off the animal skins covering their bodies and gasp for breath.

While they were in the air, things were fine, but once the sky orcs slowed down, the orcs wrapped in animal skins began to feel hot and stuffy. However, they couldn't move around at this time; they could only move when the sky orcs completely stopped.

The orcs dismounted from the sky orc's back one by one, and before they could even stretch their bodies, they began to unload everything off the sky orc.

They will have lunch and rest here until it gets less hot before setting off again.

Everyone sprang into action on their own. Some gathered firewood, some built fire pits with stones, some fetched water, and some went hunting. Bai Ling, of course, was in charge of cooking.

Apart from Bai Ling, the other orcs were all very experienced in the wild. Finding water or hunting was nothing to them.

This place belongs to orcs from other tribes. The orcs who hunted did not choose large beasts, but rather a medium-sized beast, which looked about the same size as a domestic pig in his previous life, with less meat on its body. In order to make sure the orcs had a good meal, Bai Ling also cleaned up the internal organs and stewed them.

The beastmen ate everything they could find. After finishing their meal, they packed up their belongings, ran into the forest, transformed into their beast forms, and began to rest.

*

Along the way, they got up early in the morning to travel, and stopped to eat and rest when the weather got hot. In the afternoon, when the weather was not so hot, they started traveling again, and began looking for places to stay before the sun had set.

Along the way, the Grand Elder tried his best to find orc tribes to spend the night. Sometimes, when they found an orc tribe, the sun hadn't even set yet, and the Grand Elder would have the Sky Orcs stop and spend the night in that tribe.

Sometimes, when it's really hard to find an orc tribe to spend the night, the Grand Elder will have the Sky Orcs fly lower to find a suitable place to stay as soon as possible. At night, the orcs will transform into their beast forms and form a circle, with their belongings enclosed inside. With so many large orcs, there's no need to fear wild beasts coming.
