Chapter 117 Arrival
Qian Jingyao's eyes were as fast as lightning, and she glanced at him in an instant. Her eyes seemed to say, "Shut up and don't disturb Xia Yuke's sleep." Seeing this, Qing Yan quickly fell silent and stopped talking.
The beastmen of the sheep tribe also turned into their original forms. Sheep of different shapes snuggled up to each other, some rested their heads on their companions' backs, some lay on their sides on the soft grass, and all lay quietly together and slept.
The Firefly Orcs found some hidden spots under the grass leaves in the cave and rested there.
Their bodies were slightly curled up, their wings were folded neatly at their sides, and the light on their abdomens became extremely dim, flickering intermittently, as if they were still maintaining a trace of alertness even in their sleep.
Occasionally, when a breeze blows and the grass leaves sway slightly, they will unconsciously shake their tentacles and then fall into a quiet sleep again.
The next day, the faint light of morning light filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves, scattering mottled light on the open space in front of the cave.
When Qian Jingyao slowly woke up and glanced around as usual, he found that the group of firefly orcs that flashed with strange light last night had disappeared, leaving only emptiness and silence.
He slowly stood up, shook off the grass debris on his body, and was about to stretch his body when his eyes were attracted by something strange at the entrance of the cave.
On a spread-out animal skin, a pile of dust emitting a faint glow quietly accumulated, just like the condensation of the lively light on the firefly orcs last night.
The light spread out in the morning mist, with a bit of fantasy.
Qian Jingyao frowned slightly, walked forward with some doubts, gently picked up the bag of powder, and looked at it carefully.
At this moment, Ayang ran over, with an innocent smile on his face, and a clear voice rang out in the air:
"This was left behind by that Firefly Orc! When he left, he specifically told me it was a gift for Coco and that it could be used as a torch!"
"I got up early this morning and happened to be eating grass outside. They told me this and asked me to tell you!"
Xia Yueke, who was rubbing her eyes and yawning, felt instantly refreshed after hearing these words.
Her bright eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately moved closer to Qian Jingyao, staring closely at the pile of glowing dust in his hand, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.
Xia Yueke curiously stretched out her finger and gently touched the glowing dust. A little bit of it touched her fingertips, and when she lifted it slightly, the dust sparkled like stars on her fingertips. She said excitedly:
"It's magical, it feels like holding the stars in your hands."
Qian Jingyao looked at her like this, smiled dotingly, and carefully wrapped the powder and handed it to her.
Qingyan walked over slowly, put his nose close to the bag of powder curiously, sniffed hard, and fanned his nostrils gently.
After a moment, his expectant expression instantly collapsed, and he muttered in disappointment:
"No, it's food, I don't like it!"
Xia Yueke couldn't help but find it funny when she saw him like this. She reached out and gently moved Qing Yan's handsome face aside, then carefully put the bag of powder into her animal skin pocket.
She had begged Qian Jingyao to give her this animal skin bag.
At that time, her eyes sparkled as she described to Qian Jingyao the purpose of pockets and how they could be used to conveniently carry various small items.
Qian Jingyao was a little confused at first, but he couldn't resist her persistence, so he finally made it carefully for her.
Since then, Qian Jingyao seemed to have opened up new ideas. Various animal skins were cleverly added with pockets in his hands, because he found that this design was extremely convenient to use during travel and greatly improved the efficiency of storing and taking items.
"Qingyan, you're such a foodie! How could this be food? This is the shiny stuff on the Firefly Orcs. Maybe it's a special substance secreted by their unique body structure. It has the magical effect of lighting and is much more precious than food."
Xia Yueke said to Qing Yan with a smile while tidying up her pockets.
Xia Yueke held the bag of glowing dust tightly, taking it out to play with it from time to time.
A Yang asked curiously:
"Keke, why do you think this Firefly Orc would give you such a precious thing?"
Xia Yueke tilted her head and thought for a moment before answering, "Maybe it's because I'm different from them that they find me so interesting. But I also like them. The light from those firefly orcs is so beautiful."
Ayang nodded and looked at Xia Yueke with admiration, with stars in his eyes.
Qian Jingyao looked around and found that the orcs from the Sheep Tribe were already prepared, so he said:
"Let's go!"
So, just like yesterday, the team continued to move forward.
This time they did not encounter any orcs or wild beasts on the road. It was unusually smooth. Although it rained occasionally, they all hid in the caves and spent the journey safely. Finally, they arrived at the Beast City after walking for a month.
The towering walls of the Beast City rise into the clouds, built of huge stones.
Xia Yueke carefully looked at the appearance of the Beast City.
Above the city gate, a majestic building caught her attention. It seemed to be a watchtower.
The tower is tall and built of solid logs. Its structure is tight and solid, as if it can withstand any storm.
There are observation windows around the tower. Looking out from the windows, you can have a panoramic view of a large area outside the city gate, and the field of vision is extremely wide.
There are watchtowers at intervals on the city wall. The animal skins of different colors on the tower tops rustle in the breeze, and the flags are painted with totems representing the various tribes in the Beast City.
The city gate is wide and heavy, with two large doors tightly closed. Outside the gate is a moat with clear water that you can occasionally see strange fish swimming at the bottom of the river.
The city gate was bustling with people coming and going, and all kinds of orcs were moving around, including deer with huge antlers, leopards with agile bodies, and eagles with wings on their backs.
Qian Jingyao held Xia Yueke firmly in his strong arms, and her petite body seemed particularly safe in his arms.
Qing Yan followed slowly behind, only glancing at the Beast City before looking away, looking at Xia Yueke, hoping that Xia Yueke's attention would be on him.
The sheep orcs began to line up behind them in an orderly manner. The team was like a long winding snake, waiting quietly and patiently to enter the city.
At this time, the city gate was extremely lively, with a large number of orcs entering the Beast City, including many who had obviously come from other tribes to do business.
They may be carrying heavy baskets filled with a wide variety of goods.
"Wow, there are actually businesses here?"
Xia Yueke's clear voice was full of surprise, and her eyes kept scanning around.
In Qian Jingyao's arms, she noticed with her sharp eyes a lot of fluffy white cotton, fresh green vegetables, and something like silky smooth and soft silk fabric, which were carefully carried in the backpacks by the orcs.
