After chasing away Lang Qi, Su Guodong hurriedly asked Su Tang, "Daughter, what happened? Weren't these the things we were going to exchange for Bai Shi? Why were they sent back?"
"Wolf Qi said that the Gray Wolf leader is unwilling to help us exchange for White Stone," Su Tang recounted what she had just heard.
"Huh? What do we do now?" Su Guodong frowned and asked with a worried look.
Without salt, how will they live? Their bodies can't take it if they don't eat salt!
Su Shiwei and Lin Xia both looked worried.
This is a big problem.
Daqing, who had already transformed back into human form, saw everyone's worried faces and earnestly suggested:
"You can drink beast blood. Whenever I felt weak, drinking beast blood would make me feel better!"
The group looked at Da Qing; this method was indeed very orcish!
However, they will not adopt it.
They simply couldn't accept the idea of drinking raw animal blood.
Su Tang shared the same thought; she could accept snail rice noodles and durian, but absolutely not raw marinated food! She would never try any raw food!
Drinking beast blood is even more impossible.
"We still need to exchange for the White Stone." Su Tang said firmly without hesitation, "We'll go to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to exchange it ourselves!"
Regardless, she was determined to get Shiraishi.
Lin Xia was the first to agree, "I think it's a good idea! We can't rely on the Gray Wolf Tribe forever; sooner or later we'll have to rely on ourselves."
No matter where they go, their greatest asset is their ability to support themselves.
“But we don’t know where the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is, or how far away it is from us…” Su Shiwei asked the question with a serious expression.
"Daughter, why don't you ask Lang Nini?" Su Guodong said. His daughter had a good relationship with Lang Nini, so Lang Nini certainly wouldn't hide it from his daughter.
Su Tang glanced at her father, dousing his hopes with a bucket of cold water, "Wolf Nini has never been there, how could she possibly know?"
Females rarely stray far from the tribe; only males know where Mount Ten Thousand Beasts is.
But the males in the gray wolf tribe all avoided them like the plague; what male would be willing to tell them these things?
Su Tang and the others suddenly turned to look at Da Qing.
This guy is a true orc, he might know something.
Daqing was startled by the stare and quickly waved his hand, saying:
"I don't know where Mount Ten Thousand Beasts is. I've never been there. I'm a wandering beastman, so I can't just go to the tribe."
The Beast Mountain was a large tribe in the area, with powerful orcs everywhere. He dared not go there; he usually only went to small tribes to spy on the orcs.
After all, small tribes are weaklings; even if he can't win, he can run away.
The group looked disappointed; it seemed there was really no other way.
Just when Su Tang and the others were at their wits' end, an unfamiliar voice came from behind them.
"I know where the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts is."
Su Tang turned around and saw a one-armed male standing behind them.
"Are you an orc from the Gray Wolf tribe?" Su Tang didn't recognize him and asked with a puzzled look, her eyes scanning the male.
The male looked weathered, appearing to be only in his early twenties, but his eyes held the look of an old man in his twilight years, exuding a deep sense of desolation.
“Yes, my name is Lang Zhuang. I know you are going to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. I have been there before. I can tell you where it is and even guide you.”
Lang Zhuang met Su Tang's gaze with a calm expression.
His face was covered with stubble, and his hair was so long that it almost covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression.
Only a pair of green, beastly eyes remained, deep and chilling.
Su Guodong's face lit up with joy. Such a good thing? It seems that there are some kind-hearted orcs in the Gray Wolf Tribe after all!
Su Tang knew that this orc was definitely not there to do good deeds.
"What are your conditions?" she asked.
Looking at the female in front of him who rarely showed her emotions, Lang Zhuang saw that she was being direct, so he decided not to beat around the bush either.
"I want food, and you should also share some of the white stones you got in exchange, just divide them equally among the people."
He had already decided on his offer before he arrived.
Upon hearing this, Su Tang looked at Lin Xia and the others, asking for their opinions.
Dividing it equally among people would be quite a lot. It means that if someone leads the way, they would have to give up an extra share of the white stone and provide him with additional food.
However, apart from Lang Zhuang, no other male is willing to lead the way right now.
Following the Gray Wolf tribe's caravan was even more unrealistic. Not only would they risk getting lost in the forest, but they would also be powerless to fight back if the Gray Wolf tribe's orcs did anything to them along the way.
They were naturally happy that an orc was willing to help guide them.
"Girl, is this male reliable?" Su Guodong asked in a low voice, as he was worried about him.
We can't just believe everything people say!
We're in an unfamiliar place, going to such a faraway place. What if something happens and we can't come back?
Su Tang replied softly, "It doesn't seem like a lie. Let's take another look."
Seeing that Su Tang and the others did not respond, Lang Zhuang continued:
“I can also help you move your things. There are only four males in you, and you need to leave some males here to take care of the females. If you can’t carry all the things along the way, I can help.”
It has to be said that Su Tang was indeed tempted.
Her father is an intellectual, not very strong, and getting old. Her mother would definitely worry if he went. Her older brother is building a wooden house at home, so he can't go either.
Daqing is a wandering orc. Even if he could go, he wouldn't be able to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. Having only his second brother as the main force wouldn't be enough.
Needless to say, she and her mother are both female, and they would be a hindrance on the way, not to mention that she also has to take care of five kittens.
