Chapter 323 A Different Kind of Satisfaction
Chapter 323 A Different Kind of Satisfaction
This tribe is called the Giant Stone Tribe. Most of their territory is on plains, but there is a huge rock in their settlement, hence the name Giant Stone Tribe.
The Giant Stone Tribe wasn't very large, with about a hundred orcs. The tribe's chief was tall and had a rugged face. He solemnly expressed his gratitude to Bai Ling and his group, and then instructed his people to smoke the meat of the Big-Eyed Beast overnight.
Bai Ling and his group still had a long way to go, so they only took the meat of the Big-Eyed Beast and gave the rest of the beast to the Giant Stone Tribe.
The chieftain of the Giant Stone Tribe declined repeatedly, but finally accepted the gifts. However, he did not accept them for nothing, as he also took some meat from another Big-Eyed Beast and cured it.
After the meal, everyone gathered in a circle around a burning fire. The elder and the chief of the Giant Stone Tribe were talking, while Bai Ling and Yue were whispering to each other in a circle.
When Yue shot the arrows, Bai Ling couldn't see Yue's expression or movements, but he saw everything that happened after the three arrows were shot.
The three arrows seemed to fall from the sky, heading straight for the beast chasing the orc. All three arrows hit their mark, with one even piercing deep into the beast's neck, killing it instantly.
The other two arrows also severely wounded the beast. It could be said that Yue was the savior of that group of orcs, a great hero who descended from the sky and saved the lives of everyone present with just a little effort.
Even though he couldn't see the process of Yue shooting the arrow, he admired and respected Yue wholeheartedly. In the eyes of the orcs that Yue saved, Yue was simply an immortal sent down by the Beast God to save them.
It's perfectly normal for one of those orcs to have a crush on Yue.
If I hadn't used the gesture of holding hands to show our relationship, someone would probably have confessed their feelings to Yue tonight.
Bai Ling was a little jealous, but mostly she felt happy and proud.
The moon is so powerful and dazzling, it's perfectly normal for people to like it. He doesn't think it's offensive for others to like the moon; on the contrary, he thinks that they have good taste.
The moon, hanging high in the sky, should be loved by many people.
Bai Ling felt proud of Yue's strength, and he felt happy that Yue liked him. So many people liked Yue, but Yue only liked him and belonged to him. This gave Bai Ling a unique sense of satisfaction.
Bai Ling looked at Yue. In the firelight, Yue's originally cold eyes and brows warmed up a bit. Sensing Bai Ling's gaze, Yue turned his head, blinked his beautiful ice-blue eyes, and then smiled at Bai Ling.
*
The smile was faint and gentle, yet it was like a spring breeze, dispelling the icy look in his eyes and bringing him to life.
"Ling, what are you thinking about?"
Bai Ling smiled and took Yue's hand, without answering what he was thinking. Yue was aloof and didn't care much about people she didn't know, let alone sense the emotions of strangers, so she had no idea that two young orcs had feelings for her.
Since he doesn't know, Bai Ling won't tell him either.
“I was thinking about the wild beasts they hunted,” Bai Ling said. “They call these beasts Big-Eyed Beasts. In the world I dreamed about, Big-Eyed Beasts have another name: Cows.”
"Cattle are very useful livestock, especially for farming. They have excellent endurance and can be used for plowing, sowing, pulling carts, and transporting goods. They are the most important helpers for farmers."
Yue listened attentively to Bai Ling's words. After Bai Ling finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "Ling, cattle are so useful. If we were closer, we could trade with this tribe for live cattle. But the tribe is too far away. Just getting the cattle back would be extremely troublesome."
It took the Sky Orcs more than twenty days to fly from their tribe to the Giant Stone Tribe. If they were traveling by cattle, it would probably take them half a year.
Sky orcs can fly in a straight line, but herding cattle would require climbing mountains and wading through rivers, and the cattle move very slowly; it would probably take more than half a year.
Bai Ling also said, "It's very troublesome. The tribe already has 'Kengchi' beasts, and I don't know whether we should raise cattle as well."
Not only can cows work, but beef is also delicious. However, transporting cows to the tribe is too troublesome, and Bai Ling is actually undecided.
Just as he hesitated, Yue grasped his hand: "Ling, I see you seem to really like cows. If you think cows are useful, then trade with them."
"I can come and exchange with you then. It's okay if it takes half a year, let alone six months."
He supports whatever decision Ling makes.
Bai Ling smiled and said, "I'll think about it some more. I can't make this decision by myself. I need to go back and discuss it with the clan leader."
*
The chieftain of the Giant Stone Tribe hoped that Bai Ling and her group would stay for a couple more days, but he also knew that these orcs had very important matters to attend to and did not have time to linger.
The chieftain of the Giant Stone Tribe pointed to the packed baskets and said, "This meat is smoked by us. Because of the time constraints, we only smoked it briefly, so it can only be preserved for a few days. You should eat it quickly. This basket contains wild vegetables, and this basket contains wild fruits. It's just a small token of our appreciation."
After he finished speaking, two elderly orcs came over, each carrying a basket on their backs. They stood before Yue, their faces full of gratitude: "You saved my son yesterday; this is our token of appreciation."
The two elderly people were the leopard's family. Yue took the basket, took out two pieces of dried meat, and said, "This is enough."
Just as the two old men were about to say something, Bai Ling said from the side, "This is enough. Your tribe has already given us a lot of meat, and we can't possibly eat it all."
The elder was standing not far away talking to the chief of the Giant Stone Tribe. Seeing this, he also said, "Two pieces of dried meat will do. We don't lack food."
The two elderly people thanked the moon again, then walked up to Zhao and handed him another basket, thanking him repeatedly.
Zhao also gave them two pieces of dried meat and gave them a few more instructions on what to pay attention to. The two elderly people nodded repeatedly, their faces full of gratitude.
What happened in the tribe was just a minor incident, and Bai Ling and her group continued on their way.
*
After traveling for more than forty days, Bai Ling saw the sea.
Along the way, Bai Ling had seen many lakes and rivers, but this was the first time she had ever seen the ocean.
The Sky Orcs stopped at the seaside, and the Grand Elder said, "Let's rest for a while and continue our journey in the afternoon."
Bai Ling had seen the sea in his previous life, but the other beastmen of the Gaoshu tribe were seeing the sea for the first time. They were first surprised, then excited. When they heard that they would rest here, the beastmen of the Gaoshu tribe were very happy.
