Chapter 213 Going home
They've been out for so many days now; Uncle Tulin must be worried sick back in the tribe.
Lang Cang then came over and sat down next to Lin Baiyan. "What's wrong?"
Lin Baiyan snapped out of her reverie. "Nothing, I was just thinking about things in the tribe. So, have you finished discussing it?"
Wolf Cang nodded, "The corpses of those fierce boar orcs have all been cleaned up. Without the scent of the Firefly Grass, it will be difficult for them to find our trail."
"The Fierce Pig Tribe suffered a setback this time, and they certainly won't let it go." Lin Baiyan frowned. He was worried that the Fierce Pig Tribe would cling to them like bedbugs in a sewer.
Lang Cang gently ruffled Lin Baiyan's hair. "Don't worry, I'll send people to gather information secretly."
"Moreover, there's the Giant Bear tribe. Once they notice anything amiss, they'll definitely notify us."
After all, for now, the Azure Flame Tribe is still an ally of the Giant Bear Tribe.
As he left, he pointed out the general direction of the Azure Flame Tribe to the Giant Bear Tribe. Wolf Cang believed that Bear Warrior wouldn't be so foolish as to expose their tribe's location to the enemy.
Lin Baiyan suppressed his unease and nodded.
After a short rest, the group continued on their way. Having already traveled the route to find the trading tribe, the return journey was much easier this time.
Following the map, they easily found their way home. Unlike their leisurely pace when they first arrived, this time their team was eager to get home.
On the twenty-third day, at sunset, the little cat on the white wolf's head looked at the familiar Donghe River not far away. It bared its teeth and claws and pulled on the fur around the wolf's neck, meowing loudly.
Look, look, we're almost home!
Although the big white wolf couldn't understand the kitten's language, he could guess what the kitten was trying to say from the kitten's waving and gesturing above his head.
Wolf Cang howled and turned to look at Tiger Yang and Fox Ice beside him. Lin Baiyan jumped down and transformed into human form. "Let's part ways here."
Perhaps his elation was too obvious, because Hu Bing got off the cart next to him and pinched Lin Baiyan's cheek with a hint of sarcasm, "You little ingrate, you don't say a word about how much you miss us."
Lin Baiyan chuckled, "Then we'll see each other again in a couple of days!"
Then, he became self-righteous again, "I've been with you guys for so long, Uncle Rabbit must miss me!"
Seeing his slightly arrogant expression, Hu Bing shook her head with amusement, "Alright, alright."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Baiyan and the others agreed that they would invite the Silver Tiger Clan and the Silver Fox Clan to visit the house together, and then the group parted ways.
After everyone separated, Lin Baiyan couldn't wait to transform into her beast form and jump onto the big white wolf's head, gesturing wildly and meowing, "Quick, quick, charge!"
The white wolf seemed to be infected by Lin Baiyan's excitement. It raised its front and howled to the sky. The people of the Cangyan tribe behind the wolf were also overjoyed. After being away from the tribe for so many days, they were finally going home.
After walking along the East River for a short while, Lang Cang saw Yang Ye leading the beastmen to work in the planting area. By the time they returned, it was already autumn.
According to Lin Baiyan's calculations, it should be mid-October now, and the scenery around the forest is similar to when they came last year.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already been on the Beastman Continent for a year.
The kitten sighed for a moment atop the white wolf's head, then meowed loudly at its tribespeople not far away, "Sheep Leaf, Elephant Thunder, we're back!"
Unfortunately, the sound was too soft, and Yang Ye, who was pulling up sweet potato leaves with his head down, did not hear it. It was Xiang Lei, who was pulling up large leafy vegetables next to him, who smelled the familiar scent. He looked up and saw the priest and chieftain who had been away from the tribe for almost three months.
The large leafy vegetable that Xiang Lei had just picked suddenly fell to the ground. He stared blankly at the figures of his tribesmen not far away, and rubbed his eyes in surprise. It was real.
"A priest?"
"What priest?" Yang Ye, who was standing next to him, looked towards Xiang Lei when he heard the voice.
Xiang Lei excitedly pointed in one direction, "The priest, the priest and the chieftain are back, the trading team is all back."
Upon hearing this news, Yang Ye suddenly looked up in the direction of the sound and, sure enough, saw the familiar combination of the kitten and the white wolf.
Yang Ye threw down the sweet potato leaves in his hand and was about to run towards Lin Baiyan and the others when he came to his senses after a few steps. He turned back and grabbed Xiang Lei's arm, "Quickly go back and tell Uncle Tu Lin and the tribesmen that our trading team is back!"
Xiang Lei nodded quickly, turned into his beast form, and ran into the tribe.
After giving his instructions, Yang Ye ran straight towards the trading team. Lin Baiyan had already transformed into human form and stood next to the big white wolf with a smile on his lips. "Yang Ye, we're back."
Hearing Lin Baiyan's familiar voice, Yang Ye excitedly stepped forward and hugged him tightly, "Priest, you're finally back."
Lin Baiyan patted him with a smile, "We're back now, aren't we? Don't worry."
"Let's go, and tell me what's been happening in the tribe lately."
Hearing Lin Baiyan's words, Yang Ye withdrew from his embrace somewhat embarrassed. The two slowly walked towards the tribe, followed by the other orcs of the trading caravan, who were walking at a leisurely pace.
Upon entering their tribe's territory, everyone's tense spirits immediately relaxed.
As they walked, they observed the changes in the tribe with great interest.
It must be said that although the orcs' lives outside were arduous, with them sleeping outdoors and enduring hardships, the people in the tribe did not slack off in the slightest.
Looking at the lush green potato seedlings and the soon-to-be-ripe sweet potatoes, Lin Baiyan gave Yang Ye a thumbs-up in praise, "These plants are being taken very well taken care of. You've worked hard."
Yang Ye blushed slightly and shook her head somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, it was all done by Xiang Lei through trial and error. We're not really experts in planting."
"I never expected Xiang Lei to be so interested in planting," Lin Baiyan said with some emotion.
He initially sent this half-grown cub to the planting area just to help guard it and prevent wild animals from damaging the plants. He never expected that it would awaken his hidden planting talent.
These plants are all well cared for.
The group then continued walking into the tribe.
Upon entering the tribe's residential area, the first thing Lin Baiyan saw was the already erected wall.
He stood beneath the wall, his eyes wide with astonishment.
Good heavens! He must have only been gone for three months, not three years!
How come this wall is almost finished?
Lin Baiyan looked left and right in disbelief, her eyes wide as saucers.
