"This vast plain looks truly desolate."
"You humans live in places like this, no wonder you're so weak, you probably can't even find prey!"
"If it weren't for the salty sand, I wouldn't have come to a place like this even if the humans begged me..."
The beastmen watched this scene with a sense of wonder and were filled with awe.
In their eyes, only lush forests are the richest places in terms of resources.
Forests are the foundation of orcs' lives; without forests, orcs cannot survive.
“It is indeed very desolate here.” Lin Shanyue did not refute. If it were before, she would have thought the orcs were incredibly foolish to say such a thing.
But now, she wholeheartedly agreed with the orc's words.
“It only looks desolate now.” Su Tang pulled herself out of her memories and couldn’t help but say, “If this plain were used properly, it would be more suitable for farming than the beast tribe’s territory. Every piece of land has its value.”
Lin Shanyue looked at Su Tang in surprise, her heart feeling like a stagnant pool had been plunged into a boulder, creating huge waves.
For the first time, there was a place where the orcs recognized the human race's presence.
The beastmen listened to Su Tang's words and began to think about them seriously.
They all knew that Ah Tang's farm could grow a lot of grain. If it could also be grown on the Great Wilderness Plain, they wondered how many farms there would be and how much grain they could grow.
Once they thought about it that way, their contempt disappeared.
As long as there is food, it is a good place!
“It takes us humans several days to walk from our tribe to here, but the beastmen should be much faster. We'll head west and we'll soon see human tribes,” Lin Shanyue said, regaining her composure.
Upon hearing this, Hu Shen said to Ying Jie, "Send six orcs, divided into three teams, to disguise themselves as orcs from the vicinity of the snow mountain and go ahead to scout the situation."
Along the way from the Beast Mountain, as long as it's not within the forest area, there are beastmen living there.
There are naturally beast tribes near the Great Wilderness Plains, but Hu Shen didn't want to cause any trouble, so he bypassed those small tribes and came straight to the Great Wilderness Plains.
"Yes!" Yingjie understood and immediately went down to give instructions to the orcs.
"Other orcs, set up camp here and start a fire." With Hu Shen's order, the orcs, who had been traveling all day, finally dared to relax, put down their luggage, and start a fire to boil water and roast meat.
After a flurry of activity, wisps of smoke rose from beneath the snow-capped mountain, but they quickly became invisible under the cover of night.
Once she relaxed, Su Tang couldn't hold back any longer.
The mountain was covered in ice and snow, and it was easy to get lost if you strayed from the group. You couldn't shout for help, so she hadn't been able to relieve herself since she started climbing the mountain.
"Shanyue." Su Tang looked at Lin Shanyue, who was also looking over.
The unspoken understanding between girls is such that they almost know what the other wants to say without even having to speak.
Lin Shanyue was a little embarrassed at first, but now she's quite adept at it.
Their eyes met, and they walked together into the bushes behind the rock.
In a team full of men, having a girl as a toilet companion is simply wonderful.
Lin Shanyue had traveled with Lin Jiang and the others all the way from the Great Wilderness Plains to the Beast Tribe, and knew how inconvenient it was for a girl to travel alone. With Su Tang by her side this time, she felt much less tired from the journey.
From the Beast Mountain to the Great Wilderness Plains, the friendship between the two also grew rapidly.
"Shanyue, you go first, I'll wait for you here."
As the two walked away, Su Tang stood beside the rock, blocking Lin Shanyue's view, and then turned her head away, avoiding looking in the direction of the bushes.
Lin Shanyue responded, and soon a rustling sound came from the bushes.
Su Tang's gaze was wandering when suddenly her eyes focused on a certain spot.
She suddenly asked, "Mountain Moon, are there also humans living near your snow mountain?"
"No, humans all live on the other side of the plain. No humans live on this side."
"Do any humans usually come back here?"
"No, the water sources on this side of the snow mountain have all been monopolized by the Tianshui tribe. They occupy the river on the tribe's side and prevent other humans from coming here to steal water."
After Lin Shanyue finished speaking, she walked out of the bushes with a puzzled look on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Su Tang pointed to the ground not far away, "Look there, isn't that an extinguished fire?"
Lin Shanyue looked closely and saw scattered blackened wood and scattered ashes. It was clear that someone had lit a fire here!
Her expression immediately changed. "It seems so!"
The presence of signs of fire indicates that someone once lived in the vicinity.
"Ah Tang, I don't know what happened either. No one should live here. Even if they came to steal water, they should have returned the same day," Lin Shanyue said with a grim expression.
Su Tang felt no more need to urinate, so he immediately went back and called Hu Shen to search the surrounding area.
The conclusion reached was that there were no humans or orcs hiding nearby.
Based on deduction, the traces left by the fire dated back several days.
After confirming that there was no danger around, Su Tang went to relieve herself. After returning, she thought about it again and again, but still felt that something was wrong.
"Hu Shen, if there are humans on this plain, will they discover you if you approach at night?" Su Tang asked.
"No," Hu Shen answered without hesitation.
"Hu Shen, I can't sleep. I want to go take a look around the neighborhood."
"The orcs who went out to scout haven't returned yet, so you don't need to worry." Hu Shen knew that Su Tang wasn't being willful, but rather worried about unexpected situations.
"Hu Shen, I can't sleep anyway, why don't you take me for a walk around the neighborhood?" Su Tang stared at Hu Shen with unblinking eyes, full of anticipation.
