"I'm not afraid of the cold, you can use it."
Just as Hu Shen was about to place the bottle in Su Tang's hand, he noticed that Su Tang was holding three more identical bottles.
Seeing that he was still standing there, Su Tang nudged him with her arm, "Why aren't you going out? Come on."
Then Su Tang went out and handed a bottle to Su Shiwei and Lin Shanyue, while holding one in her own hand.
Hu Shen: "..." So it wasn't specially prepared for him after all.
Su Tang handed the bottle of hot water to Lin Shanyue and smiled at her:
“All the beastmen in our family are afraid of the cold, and they all need to carry a hand warmer during the snowy season.”
Hearing Su Tang's words, Lin Shanyue was somewhat suspicious. The beast race... were they even more afraid of the cold than the human race?
This shouldn't be happening!
Looking at Su Tang's smile and feeling the warmth from her palm, she suddenly felt that the snow she had walked through, the cold wind she had felt, and the snow she had eaten these past few days didn't seem so cold anymore.
Su Shiwei could easily see that Tangtang was saying this because she didn't want to embarrass Lin Shanyue.
Lin Shanyue cast a questioning look at him, and he, holding the bottle, nodded seriously, "Yes, we beastmen are all quite afraid of the cold."
Su Tang looked at Hu Shen behind her.
Hu Shen naturally didn't say anything. Urged by Su Tang, he also held the bottle, making a gesture to warm his hands, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
It was Lin Shanyue's first time facing so many beastmen, and she was a little nervous, so she didn't think carefully about whether Su Tang's words were true or false.
She felt a warm sensation and carefully held the bottle, trying not to let the pus from her hands get on it.
She didn't want to soil the orc female's things.
Seeing this, she whispered "thank you," and the tension in her heart seemed to ease a little.
“This is the Beast King of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Hu Shen.” After Su Shiwei finished speaking, he looked at the two of them. “She is the human Lin Shanyue that I mentioned yesterday.”
Lin Shanyue also looked at Hu Shen, who was standing next to Su Tang. This male beastman's aura was obviously much stronger. Just standing in front of him gave people a sense of oppression that made it difficult to raise their heads.
Is this the power of the Orcs? So powerful that even their aura instills such a sense of crisis.
At that moment, Lin Shanyue suddenly understood why the human race could only cower in the plains.
She accepted the weakness of the human race.
The two walked and stood side by side, with Hu Shen's shoulder even slightly behind Su Tang's.
Lin Shanyue had heard that females in the beast race had a higher status than females, and now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she knew that the rumors were true. Even such a small detail could reveal this.
Is this beast king her mate?
The fact that he was in love with the Beast King's mate made Lin Shanyue's last bit of resentment towards Su Shiwei disappear, replaced by sympathy.
It must be very tough being a partner of the Beastmaster.
"Don't be afraid, you are safe here. No one will hurt you. You can tell us about the specific situation of the human race. If the human race can really exchange the salty sand with the beast race, we will definitely send you back safely."
Of course, it would be better to stay here and not go back.
Su Tang said to Lin Shanyue with a gentle smile.
Hearing Su Tang's words, Lin Shanyue's wandering thoughts were quickly pulled back.
Her previous reservations about the beastmen had vanished. She didn't think it was a loss to exchange her own and her tribe's safety for a deal. On the contrary, she wouldn't trust the beastmen if they helped her without expecting anything in return.
Seeing the gentle smile on Su Tang's face, she felt a little more at ease and took a deep breath.
“Our human race has three major tribes. My father is the chief of the Shenmu tribe. The method of making salty sand was devised by my father. As long as... as long as the tribe still exists, I can guarantee that you will be able to obtain salty sand.”
"Who attacked your tribe?" Hu Shen asked in a deep voice.
Lin Shanyue shook her head and lowered her eyes.
"The Tianshui tribe and the Wotu tribe each have their own unique water source and abundant food. The relationship between the three tribes has always been relatively harmonious. I don't know which tribe attacked our tribe. Before I left, there was an internal strife in the tribe."
If her father hadn't reacted quickly, she might not have been able to get out at all if she had been any later.
She would never forget that when she left, her father's subordinates, who had followed him for many years, suddenly attacked him, and the orcs in the tribe were also killing each other. Just then, news came from outside the tribe that someone was attacking the tribe.
After leaving the tribe, they were constantly pursued. Originally, their father sent dozens of people to escort them, but in the end, only Lin Jiang and Uncle Shi were left...
She was rescued at great personal risk, and she will definitely avenge them!
How many people are in your human tribe?
“Several thousand. The Shenmu tribe has about three thousand people. The other two tribes have more people than our tribe, and a small portion of them are elderly people and children.”
Such a number would be considered a very large tribe even among orcs.
However, it was no match for the orcs who could take on ten men at once.
Hearing this number, Hu Shen was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the weak human race could have grown their tribe to such a large size.
However, he saw nothing to fear.
"What do you want me to do? Wipe out the other two tribes?" Hu Shen asked.
"No, as long as we find the culprits who attacked our tribe and reclaim the Shenmu tribe, we beg you to spare the lives of the innocent humans who are not related to us." Lin Shanyue shook her head, but her eyes were unwavering.
She wanted revenge, but she didn't want to slaughter the entire human race.
"Fine, I promise you. If your human tribes can't give me the salt sand, I'll wipe out all three tribes." Hu Shen's tone was indifferent, but his words sent chills down one's spine.
Lin Shanyue felt a tremor in her heart; the beastmen before her were certainly capable of doing such a thing.
But she never intended to deceive anyone, so she readily agreed.
"good."
The Shenmu tribe is finally saved.
Su Tang didn't interfere in the affairs of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and the human race; she simply listened quietly from the sidelines.
Lin Shanyue then gave a detailed account of the human tribes. After the two finished their discussion, Su Tang asked Lin Shanyue where she was going.
"I want to see my people. Can I stay with them?" Lin Shanyue asked somewhat nervously.
She was to be taken hostage; she wondered if the orcs would lock her up by herself.
“Of course.” Su Tang nodded with a smile. Seeing this, Hu Shen didn’t linger in front of the others. He said something to Su Tang and went out to find Ying Jie to discuss the trip to the human tribe.
The human tribe is far from the Beast Mountain, and although the snow season is not over yet, they need to make preparations in advance.
The task of sending Lin Shanyue to find her clansmen naturally fell to Su Shiwei.
He stood up, coughed lightly with his fist to his mouth, and said to Su Tang, "Tangtang, she doesn't know how to wear the clothes you gave her yesterday. Can you teach her? I'll wait outside."
After saying that, he turned and left through the gate.
