A large part of an orc's strength comes from whether or not they can eat enough. Even an orc like Xuan who has fully evolved will become weaker if he does not have enough food for a long time.
But it certainly won't drop in level.
Meng Yuqing took a quick glance and then looked away.
Xuan didn't want to look any further at first, but before he was about to leave, he saw an orc out of the corner of his eye.
His gaze lingered on the orc for a moment longer, then he embraced Meng Yuqing and said, "Let's go back first."
Meng Yuqing looked at him strangely. According to modern time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. It was a bit early to go back. They had originally planned to go back before dinner.
However, Xuan would not change his plan for no reason. He must have discovered something.
He didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them quickened their pace towards the Qingshan tribe's stall.
When they returned to the tribe's stall, they found that only half of the staff were there, and it seemed that they had all gone out shopping.
Seeing the two of them come back, the people who stayed behind greeted them.
At this time, Xuan was not as anxious as he was at the beginning, and he followed Meng Yuqing around. Meng Yuqing was a little unable to bear his harassment, so she pushed him directly to Che's side.
"If you have nothing to do, just stay here and help."
Che smiled and hooked his arm around Xuan's neck, saying, "Yes, why don't you come and help me? Our tribe hasn't been to the market for a long time. We might get cheated without knowing it."
"This is only my second time coming to the market." Xuan was still trying to struggle.
"It's okay. You're strong and can always scare people. You don't have to say anything. Just sit here and let out your aura. I guarantee no one will come and do anything bad."
Che would not be fooled. The fact that Xia allowed Xuan to lead the team out this year proved that Xuan definitely had the ability to deal with some unexpected situations in the market.
Only Tongsui and Linghuan are left here from the Qingshan tribe. The other two have gone out and haven't returned yet.
One sub-beast each from the Shijiao tribe and the Shuilin tribe also went out.
Meng Yuqing sat in the pile of sub-beasts and listened to them chatting about family matters.
Until the evening, everyone who had gone out came back one after another. After the four tribal leaders counted the number of people and made sure that everyone had returned, they prepared to eat.
The empty stalls near them were gradually occupied by people who came.
Tong Sui came close to Meng Yuqing and whispered about the situation nearby today, "Our place is not a busy place. Given the situation this year, there shouldn't be so many people around."
"Then what's going on?" Meng Yuqing asked. There were originally fewer people coming this year, but the number of people near their stall was actually no less than last year.
"Maybe it's because there are so many of us, they think we are from a big tribe and want to exchange some things from us later." An older sub-beast from the Stonehorn tribe said.
Hua Ke also came to the market this time. It was his first time here. Before coming, Jian gave him many instructions, telling him to talk less, listen more, and watch more, and not to run around alone.
After experiencing the earthquake, he was indeed more mature than before. Although he still looked impatient with what Jian said, he still kept it in mind.
"Not only that, I also saw some smaller tribes moving from their original stalls to near us. Look, those are the ones over there."
Qian Yue also added at the right time.
“Generally speaking, stalls near large tribes are more popular, as they don’t like tribes causing trouble near them.
If you can't even manage the area around your own stall, you'll be considered an incompetent tribe, so it's relatively safe, except for those large tribes with a bad reputation, who are dangerous in themselves."
"Yes, when I was walking around before, I heard some people from small tribes saying that a new large tribe had arrived in our area. They were quite friendly and told us to hurry over and grab a spot. I think they might have mistaken us for a new large tribe."
A sub-beast from the Shuilin tribe spoke about the news he had heard.
Because they are sub-beasts, when they are looking at things at other people's stalls, many people will not avoid talking to them, and sometimes they can actually hear some news that orcs don't know.
The orcs were also exchanging information with each other. Most of what they observed were the undercurrents between the large tribes, as well as some things about the north.
After they finished their conversation, when Meng Yuqing was about to go over and talk to Xuan, he found that Linghuan was frowning and looking at the outside of the crowd.
He followed Linghuan's gaze and found Ya sitting in a corner with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.
He seemed to be fidgeting, and looked in Xuan's direction from time to time, as if waiting for Xuan to finish chatting with other tribes.
Meng Yuqing frowned slightly. Ya was an orc with a very stable mood. It was rare to see this kind of behavior in him. And it was obvious that he had something private to tell Xuan.
Sure enough, when Xuan finished chatting with the people from the other three tribes and was about to come to find Meng Yuqing, Ya stood up and walked towards Xuan.
Seeing this, Meng Yuqing also stood up and walked towards Xuan.
When Xuan saw Meng Yuqing coming over, he took his hand and then looked at Ya.
Ya walked up to Xuan and Meng Yuqing, not daring to look at them. His expression was very conflicted and a bit depressed.
He seemed to be trying hard to restrain something.
Xuan didn't seem surprised that Ya came to see him. He looked at Ya for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go to a place where there is no one to talk."
Ya didn't say anything, just nodded and followed the two of them.
Because Xuan was holding him, Meng Yuqing didn't really look at the road. Xuan wouldn't let him fall anyway, so he kept looking back to check his teeth.
Ya seemed not to notice his gaze, and never looked up, just following them silently.
Meng Yuqing frowned. This was not normal. What happened to make the teeth look like this?
It was fine when I went to visit the Yellowstone Tribe yesterday, and it was fine when I went out this morning. How come it became like this after I came back from a stroll around the market?
