"Your Majesty, just wait for the good news that I'll bring back Hamsa, hehe!"

"Go on, remember what I told you on the way." Hu Shen waved to Niu Li.

"I remember, I remember, I won't forget. I will protect the people of the Shenmu tribe and never burn, kill, or plunder among the humans." Niu Li nodded with an honest and earnest expression.

After saying that, he turned and listened to Ying Jie's instructions for a few more minutes before leading the orcs on their way.

Unlike the last trip to the Griffin Tribe, this time the group heading to the human race consisted mainly of powerful forces such as the Tiger Tribe, Wolf Tribe, and Leopard Tribe, totaling five hundred orcs.

Although Hu Shen did not go in person, the lineup was by no means perfunctory.

In Hu Shen's words, these orcs were more than capable of defeating human tribes.

"Worried about them?"

Lin Shanyue was staring blankly in the direction the group was heading down the mountain when a familiar voice suddenly came from beside her.

Looking back, she saw that Su Shiwei was standing behind her at some point.

“Niu Li works for the Beast King. Don’t let his unreliable appearance fool you; he’s one of the strongest in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.”

Su Shiwei walked to her side, looking at the undisguised worry on Lin Shanyue's face, which had regained some of its rosy color, and reassured Niu Li's strength.

If it weren't for its outstanding strength, why would it have chosen this simple-minded bull as its confidant from among a group of carnivorous orcs?

"Is he stronger than you?" Lin Shanyue suddenly asked, as if she had thought of something.

“Of course, she’s stronger than me,” Su Shiwei blurted out.

In a fight, how could he possibly beat a genuine orc? Especially someone as burly as Niu Li, who could easily lift him off the ground.

“The Beast King’s subordinates are even stronger than you…” Lin Shanyue lowered her head and muttered to herself.

Shiwei is so pathetic. He can't even beat the Beast King's subordinates. How can he compete with the Beast King for a mate?

No wonder he always secretly talked to Ah Tang when the Beast King wasn't around, but didn't dare to express his feelings.

A-Tang's gaze towards Shi-Wei showed absolutely no attraction to males.

Thinking that she was now all alone in the beast tribe, she suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for Su Shiwei and couldn't help but feel more affection for him.

Orcs revere the strong, while humans sympathize with the weak.

Su Shiwei had no idea what Lin Shanyue was thinking. Assuming her words had worked, she nodded and continued:

"Yes, with Niu Li leading the team and so many orcs, your people are safe. Don't worry."

"Thank you so much. You're going through so much hardship, yet you still come to comfort me," Lin Shanyue said gratefully, glancing at him.

Su Shiwei raised an eyebrow. What was difficult for him?

Seeing that Lin Shanyue's expression had improved slightly, he didn't think much of it.

"No need to thank me, I also... also so that Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain could successfully obtain the Salt Sand. You said that the first Salt Sand would be given to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain as a thank-you gift from your Shenmu tribe."

Su Shiwei deliberately brought it up, thinking that Lin Shanyue would get angry and lose her temper as before.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Shanyue wasn't annoyed at all; instead, she nodded seriously.

"Yes, that's the right thing to do. Don't worry, as long as the Shenmu tribe is here, we can send you to Xiansha a couple more times. It's just that we humans can't deliver it all, so you'll have to go and get it yourself."

Su Shiwei looked surprised. Was this girl too heartbroken? She actually wanted to make several more trips.

Could it be that he's so heartbroken that his brain has been damaged?

"Ahem... Why don't you spend more time in the Beast Mountain and see what resources your human race wants, and what you want to exchange in advance?"

Find her something to do to distract her, and she won't be sad all the time!

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Lin Shanyue's dark eyes.

"Can I choose?"

"Naturally, each takes what they need."

Lin Shanyue's eyes were full of joy. She thought that since the beast race was so powerful, she would have to accept whatever they offered.

Even if it's an excessive exchange, given the Tianshui tribe's past misdeeds, she can accept it.

"Can I have meat and animal hides too?" Lin Shanyue asked tentatively.

Meat and animal hides are extremely precious to humans. Ordinary orcs can only wear grass skirts, and human children are often completely naked.

If it's the snowy season, I'll just stay home and not go out.

Humans do not have the same hunting skills as orcs, so the prey they can catch is limited, and eating meat is a luxury.

“Okay.” Su Shiwei nodded.

Su Tang and Hu Shen had previously discussed at home what resources they could exchange, and the orcs had no shortage of animal hides.

As for meat, now that Lin Xia has taught them how to make dry rations, the orcs can store any meat they can't finish, and meat can also be traded.

"Where are the sweet potatoes and mushrooms?"

"Can."

"Then... that kind of rock you burn called coal..."

"That's fine too."

Hearing Su Shiwei's answer, Lin Shanyue's eyes were filled with uncontainable joy.

Although she had been staying in the cave for the past two months, she knew that there were many things in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain that the human race did not have.

If those strange and delicious foods could be brought to the Shenmu tribe, her people would no longer have to go hungry!

Perhaps humanity can live a better life than before.

Thinking of this, Lin Shanyue's worries and anxieties were replaced by excitement.

Seeing that Lin Shanyue had successfully diverted her attention, Su Shiwei curled her lips into a smile.

...

After seeing Niu Li and the others off, Su Tang talked to Hu Shen about going down the mountain.

Using the excuse of going out for a walk, he followed Su Jianyuan down the mountain and took out the dairy cows and cattle that had been stored in the space warehouse during the snow season.

Having experienced the incident of bringing a flock of sheep back to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts last time, this time he naturally couldn't be too conspicuous.

One time could be considered good luck, but if you can find a whole group of prey every time, it will arouse suspicion.

So the two hid the cows, and after Su Tang returned, Su Jianyuan would bring them back one by one under the pretext of hunting.

After learning that cattle could also be raised in captivity, the beastmen of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain began to follow suit.

They actually managed to bring back several live cows.

Before long, no one suspected anything. The beastmen only thought that Su Jianyuan was exceptionally capable, able to catch a live cow every time he made a move, and they admired him greatly.

Over the course of more than ten days, the herd of cattle gradually grew to more than fifty head.

Forty-two of them were taken out of Su Tang's space, including cows and calves, and thirteen cows were captured by the orcs of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, mostly bulls and calves.

There were originally more, but the cows were injured when they were captured and were about to die after only a few days of care. Su Tang discovered this in advance and had the orcs take them away as an extra meal.

The cattle pen was built next to the sheep pen. Su Tang used the nutrient solution she bought from her space to dilute it with water and watered the grass. Now the grass is lush and green, the wild grass is growing wildly, and the sheep and cattle have visibly gotten fatter.

However, Su Tang soon encountered a new problem.

I came to check on the cattle outside the pen, only to find that the orcs who used to guard the cattle had been replaced.

Five orcs have been replaced in the past few days, each one more burly than the last, yet they are replaced faster than ever before.

"Where are the orcs who were taking care of the cattle here before?" Su Tang asked, stepping forward in confusion.
