Chapter 175 Guests are coming
"Priest, the Silver Tiger Clan has arrived and is waiting outside the tribe."
As Lin Baiyan was tallying the inventory, a large tiger ran up to him and transformed into human form.
"The Silver Tiger Clan, what are they doing here? Who are they?"
Huqiu scratched his head. "It's Huyang and Huyuan. They didn't say why they came."
Lin Baiyan put down the charcoal pencil in his hand. "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."
"Wait, let's invite them in." Lin Baiyan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Have you notified Lang Cang yet?"
Before Huqiu could answer, Lang Cang's voice came from outside, "I already know."
Lang Cang opened the door and walked to Lin Baiyan's side.
"Do you think we should invite them in?"
Lang Cang pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I think it's a good idea." Their tribe is no longer as impoverished and vulnerable as it was when they first arrived in the north.
The male beastmen ate well and trained well, becoming tall and imposing; in Lin Baiyan's eyes, they could take on three of him with a single punch.
Besides, after spending a long time with the Silver Tiger Clan, Lin Baiyan had come to understand their character and realized they were a group of people he could befriend.
He knew that these tigers were straightforward and cheerful, and even if they saw these things in the Cangyan tribe, they wouldn't have any ulterior motives.
Lin Baiyan decided to stop worrying about it and said, "Then let's go out and welcome them in."
"You lead them in first, Lang Cang and I will wait at the entrance of the tribe," Lin Baiyan said to Hu Qiu.
Tiger Hill received the message and transformed back into his beast form, galloping away.
Lang Cang and Lin Baiyan lagged behind by one step.
When they arrived at the entrance of the tribe, they saw Hu Qiu leading a group of more than a dozen large tigers, with Hu Yuan and Hu Yang at the head.
Lin Baiyan quickly stepped forward and greeted them with a smile, "I was saying I'd visit your tribe, but I didn't expect you to come first."
Hu Yuan glanced at the half-built wall beside him, a thoughtful look flashing across his eyes. Finally, he smiled and said, "I've come here to discuss the trading market with you."
"Don't stand outside, come in quickly, let's talk inside." Lin Baiyan stepped aside to make room for them and led the Silver Tiger Clan's tigers inside.
The beastmen of the Azure Flame Tribe were unaware that guests had arrived at their home and went about their work without a care in the world.
Wherever Lin Baiyan went, beastmen would greet him with smiles, and Lin Baiyan would smile back.
As they walked along, the tigers were utterly astonished. Why was the ground of the Cangyan Tribe so flat, without any pebbles? And what were those towering things?
What are those orcs doing, throwing dirt? And they even saw a dwarf beast nearby!
Those dwarf beasts seem to be grinding stones.
The tigers felt like their eyes were about to give out, and their brains were shutting down. They could only follow Lin Baiyan and the others in a daze.
Hu Yang was older and more knowledgeable, but he was still incredibly excited when he saw the houses of the Cangyan tribe.
With the Beast God above, just how wealthy is the Azure Flame Tribe?
They actually know how to build houses!
Hu Yang had once seen such a building in a tribe in the south. It was a large tribe of several thousand people, and every day several hundred male beastmen would go out to hunt.
Their Silver Tiger Clan only numbered four or five hundred people, which was incomparable to these large tribes.
If Lin Baiyan knew what Hu Yang was thinking, he would probably be a jailer. The Silver Tiger tribe is not to be underestimated. As far as Lin Baiyan knows, the big tigers of the Silver Tiger tribe, regardless of age or gender, are all good fighters.
While it's not accurate to say he can take on ten opponents at once, he can at least take on five.
Hu Yang couldn't suppress his doubts any longer, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Priestess White Flame, is this a house?"
Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang exchanged a glance and nodded. Since he dared to show himself, he wasn't afraid of them seeing him. As for the blacksmith's workshop and the kiln team, they were tightly hidden inside these buildings, so they wouldn't be able to see them unless they were led inside.
"That's right, this is a method I stumbled upon from a southern tribe. The houses built with it are sturdy and durable, and can be used for a long time."
The moment Hu Yang asked the question, he regretted it. It was very impolite to rashly explore the secrets of a tribe. He looked at Lin Baiyan apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I was being tactless."
Lin Baiyan smiled and shook his head, "It's not some shameful secret."
They had already arrived at the work hall while they were talking. Lin Baiyan smiled and raised his hand, "Please come in, everyone. Let's talk about it inside."
The big tigers were just there to make up the numbers. The main leaders this time were Hu Yang and Hu Yuan. Lin Baiyan saw them looking around, and it seemed like they could be gone at any moment.
"Huqiu, why don't you take the Silver Tiger Clan brothers to visit the tribe?" Lin Baiyan said, giving Huqiu a meaningful look. "Don't go to places you shouldn't go, understand?"
Huqiu understood immediately, grinned, and said to the tigers behind him, "Let's go, let's wander around the tribe."
The tigers behind were overjoyed, but they still glanced at their hunting team leader before finally getting permission from Hu Yang. They happily followed Hu Qiu out, their chattering voices still audible from afar.
"Tiger Hill, your houses are so beautiful."
"Yes, yes, it's much nicer than our tent."
Huqiu smiled and replied, "Then I'll take you to my house."
"Okay, okay..."
Hearing the faint sounds coming from them, Hu Yang felt a little embarrassed. These ignorant tigers were just embarrassing him. "They're ignorant, Priest, please excuse them."
Lin Baiyan smiled and shook his head.
"I heard from Hu Yuan that you came here for the trading market?"
When it came to serious matters, Hu Yang became more solemn. "That's right, I received news that this year's trading market seems to be being moved up."
“In previous years, the market would start when the leaves were falling, but this year it seems that many tribes are struggling to survive due to food shortages, so the market started earlier.”
"After the earthquake, many tribes changed territories, so we don't know the exact location of this year's trading market."
"We came to ask if you would like to come with us? That way we can look out for each other."
Lin Baiyan tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "Where did you get this information from?"
