Chapter 131 Communication
Upon hearing Xiong Fei's words, the tigers opposite him were all furious. "We Silver Tigers are all honest tigers, we never lie to our beasts!"
"Exactly! We don't care about getting away with these thirty pieces of animal hide!"
Although the Silver Tiger Clan members are not particularly intelligent, their fighting prowess is exceptional; men, women, and children are all born warriors!
Therefore, during the annual hunting season, the Silver Tiger tribe never went hungry, and all the tribesmen were well-fed and plump.
Wolf Cang found it somewhat amusing to see the group of tigers so openly displaying their feelings; he had never seen such straightforward beastmen before.
He shook his head at Xiong Fei, "It's okay, just trust them this once."
His main goal today was this woman, and now that he has barely achieved it, he doesn't really care about the animal hide.
Seeing that Lang Cang was so willing to trust them, Hu Yang's goodwill towards him increased considerably. He said loudly to Lang Cang, "Don't worry, our Silver Tiger Clan always keeps its word!"
Lang Cang nodded.
"Can we release them now?" Hu Yang then looked at Hu Wei and Hu Feng.
Lang Cang turned his gaze to Xiong Fei and the others. Xiong Fei received a look from his boss and loosened the straw ropes on the two little brats.
Huwei and Hufeng quickly rubbed their bound legs and wrists. They didn't know how the Cangyan tribe tied their straw ropes. They were thick and strong, and they couldn't break free no matter how hard they struggled. The more they struggled, the tighter the ropes became.
Now that it's been tied up for so long, there are red marks around my wrist.
Huwei and Hufeng quickly ran back to their captain's side.
In front of outsiders, Hu Yang couldn't very well discipline the two brats, so he just glared at them fiercely.
Huwei and Hufeng shrank back and hid behind the other members of their tribe.
Oh no, oh no, oh no! The captain is definitely angry!
Hu Feng nudged Hu Wei's arm and whispered, "What are we going to do, Wei? The captain is definitely going to punish us."
Huwei was also feeling uneasy, almost to the point of tears. He had no idea what to do.
I'm sure I'll get a good beating from my father when I go back this time.
Although he usually dotes on himself and Feng, he never lets go of their hands when they misbehave.
As Hu Wei thought this, he felt a chill slowly rising from his back.
Hu Yang glanced at the two little brats. They were tattered and torn, as if they had been running wild somewhere, and they also had some small wounds on their bodies.
Seeing this, Lang Cang knew what Hu Yang was thinking. He unusually added an explanation, "The two of them fell into our hunting trap, which was covered with thorns. They must have accidentally scratched themselves."
Well, that means these two brats messed things up before they even made a move, and in the end they'll have to be rescued!
Hu Yang's anger was rising, but he still had a smiling face. "Then I should thank you for rescuing them."
This trip allowed the two tribes to get to know each other briefly.
Most male orcs are simple-minded. The leaders of the two tribes are talking now, and at least on the surface, they appear to be in harmony. The orcs below are also less hostile to each other.
Wolf Cang was subtly trying to get information out of Tiger Yang.
"Yes, we just migrated here..."
"Do you have a trading market here?"
Even when faced with these trivial matters, Hu Yang was willing to share them, saying, "Of course there are; the trading markets in the north are at the end of autumn."
As the snow season approaches, if a tribe does not have enough food to last through the entire snow season, it will need to go to a trading tribe to exchange for food.
The trade in the north was actually quite extensive; almost every northern tribe would travel to this market to exchange for what their tribe needed. Animal hides, bones, and food are not worth mentioning for now.
More importantly—salt.
Salt is a very important resource on the Orcish continent, something that tribes can never do without. Orcs can only survive by replenishing their salt levels.
However, obtaining salt was far more difficult than they needed. If a tribe had the method to obtain salt, they would keep it tightly to themselves and not easily reveal it to others. It was not impossible to become rich overnight with salt.
"Are you going to the trading tribe to exchange things?" Hu Yang asked with a smile.
Opportunities come with dangers; without strong capabilities, possessing too many good things can lead to one's demise.
Lang Cang had already deeply understood this principle, so he said nonchalantly, "Of course we don't need to exchange for this food."
"Our purpose in going there is simply to get to know the various tribes in the north and see what good things are available at your trading markets, since we have just migrated here."
Hu Yang nodded seriously and echoed him, "You don't look like you're without food."
The male orcs of the Azure Flame Tribe all seemed to have good combat abilities, and they all looked very energetic. Although they were not as tall and strong as the warriors of their Silver Tiger Tribe, they were still quite good.
The only problem was that there were too few people. Hu Yang looked at his hunting team of ten people each, and then at the other side, which had only about two teams of ten people each.
He had some doubts, but he didn't ask them rashly.
Hu Yang had no idea that just a few months ago they were a group of wandering orcs fleeing famine, each one so thin that their ribs protruded, and that they had slowly gained this much flesh over the past few months.
Lang Cang didn't explain the misunderstanding. Based on their conversation, he could tell that the tiger didn't seem to have much guile.
A deep hesitation flashed in his eyes, and after a fierce internal struggle, Lang Cang made up his mind.
He beckoned to Hu Yang, making a mysterious gesture, and sure enough, Hu Yang's curiosity was piqued.
Wolf Cang leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Since our two tribes seem to have a connection, I'll definitely think of you first if I have anything good."
Hu Yang didn't care much; their Silver Tiger Clan wasn't without good people.
Lang Cang chuckled, took something out of his animal skin bag, and handed it to Hu Yang. "How about it? Interested in exchanging something with us?"
Hu Yang, who hadn't paid much attention just moments before, was suddenly drawn to what was in front of him!
