By the time Meng Yuqing heard other sounds, Xuan and Baicang Beast had already stopped and lay down in the bushes.
Meng Yuqing lay there, not daring to move, and pricked up his ears to listen to the noise.
Then he discovered that these orcs had no intention of hiding their tracks.
No wonder Xuan and Baicang Beast discovered it from a distance.
Just when Meng Yuqing was wondering if the tribe he had previously exchanged saltpeter with came here to trade with them, the orcs spoke.
"Will they really teach us how to make salt from water?" a voice asked with some concern.
"They said before that they hope the tribes that have learned it can teach this method to other tribes that have not learned it." Another voice said with some heaviness.
"But can we be the same? I heard that they hate the Graystone Tribe, and we are the same as the beast form of the Graystone Tribe, and we were once members of the Graystone Tribe." The first voice said dejectedly.
"You are different. The fact that the Graystone Tribe is hated by everyone has nothing to do with you. They became like this after you left. You were driven away because you disagreed with their practices. Besides, my beast form is different from that of the Graystone Tribe, and I was not a member of the Graystone Tribe before." The third voice retorted loudly.
"But this tribe doesn't know about these things. They only see that our animal form is the same as that of the Graystone Tribe, and then they don't like us. Didn't we try to contact and learn from other tribes before? The big tribe ignored us, the small tribes just avoided us, and there was even a small tribe that agreed the day before, but the entire tribe moved the next day." The first voice continued, with a tone of some frustration.
Hearing this, Meng Yuqing said silently in his heart, Now I know, but I don’t know how credible what you say is now.
"Anyway, we're already here. We can't just go back without asking." A second voice interrupted their conversation.
They fell silent collectively.
After a long while, the second voice continued, "If we can't learn it here, then you don't have to stay with us. Go find another tribe to learn from. Other tribes will always be wary of us."
"You can't say that. If you hadn't saved me and my people, we would have died long ago." A third voice disagreed. "At worst, we can just keep trading salt. If everyone knew how to make salt, it wouldn't be as expensive as it is now."
"Let's go, let's go first. There has to be a result. Can we learn it or not?" The first voice sighed and said.
After that, they stopped talking and walked towards the Qingshan tribe with heavy steps.
Xuan hooked his tail, not knowing what he was thinking.
Baicang Beast has been lying next to Xuan and looks like it is about to fall asleep.
“Ouch—”
Suddenly, Baicangmon jumped up and ran out of the bushes, looking at Xuan in horror.
Its movements immediately attracted the attention of those people, and they looked at this exceptionally powerful beast vigilantly.
Xuan shook his tail and slowly stood up. He was the one who had just suddenly hit Baicang Beast with his tail, intentionally.
Seeing Xuan's appearance, those people became even more nervous.
Meng Yuqing also leaned over to take a look at those people and found that there were four of them, three orcs and one sub-beast.
I only heard three voices before, so there must be one person who didn't speak.
Two of the three orcs had the same beast forms as the Graystone Tribe orcs, while the other orc had the same beast form...
If he saw correctly...
That thing should be a hamster, right?
And that sub-beast is staying in the hamster orc's... cheek pouch?
Isn't the entrance to a hamster's cheek pouch in the mouth? How could he see the sub-beast sticking its head out of the hamster's cheek pouch looking at him?
He closed his eyes and shook his head, then opened them again and found that he was not seeing things or hallucinating.
The hamster orcs here are different from the hamsters in the modern world.
The entrance to the hamster's cheek pouch in the modern world is inside the mouth, while the entrance to the hamster's cheek pouch is outside...
The cheek pouch of this hamster orc that holds the sub-beast is deflated, but the other side is bulging, and it is obvious that a lot of things are placed in it.
Baicang Beast ran behind Xuan and looked at the four people opposite, making a fierce look to scare them.
The four opponents didn't know the details of the Baicang Beast and were really frightened by it, so they took a few steps back.
Meng Yuqing turned around and glanced at Baicang Beast. This guy was just trying to bully others! Don't think he didn't know that when he first discovered someone, this guy wanted to slip away.
"Graystone Tribe? How dare you come here?" Xuan said to the other party.
When Meng Yuqing heard this, she thought Xuan was deliberately trying to scare the other party.
"We are not from the Graystone tribe."
The three orcs didn't say anything. The sub-beast spoke first. His voice was not loud and his lips were pale. He looked as if he was in very poor health.
"How do you prove that you are not from the Graystone Tribe? There are so many people in the Graystone Tribe, it would be easy to find a few people we don't know." Xuan continued.
"At least they aren't." The two beastmen in rat form distanced themselves from the hamster beastman and the sub-beast. "If you mind our beast forms, we can leave immediately. If you don't want us to know how to make salt, we will separate from them completely."
Xuan looked at them with no expression, but his tail was wagging gently.
Meng Yuqing's eyes swept back and forth between the mouse orc and the hamster orc.
Thinking about the confrontation at the market when the Graystone Tribe pushed a sub-beast out to block the front, he felt that the Graystone Tribe would not say such words.
