Chapter 442 Received Letter
Thousands of miles to the south, at the entrance of a somewhat desolate cave, several male orcs were making a fire around a pot, while Lang Cang was processing his prey with a dagger in his hand.
Since leaving the Golden Monkey tribe that day, we have traveled for several more days following the directions given by the monkey sparrow.
They had been in this cave for three days. Logically, they should have already entered the territory of the Wild Pig Tribe, but they had not yet discovered the exact location of their tribe.
Not only the Wild Pig Tribe, but according to Monkey Sparrow's account, the Fierce Lizard Tribe and the Wild Pig Tribe should have been connected, but they also seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
They had no choice but to temporarily find a place to stay and settle down.
He was lucky today and actually hunted a red fox. The fox was so shiny and its fur was soft and lustrous that it was perfect for making a scarf for Bai Yan.
Thinking of Lin Baiyan, Lang Cang paused in his handling of the prey, his gaze involuntarily merging with Lin Baiyan's.
"Lord, a letter from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts!" At this moment, a bird perched on Leopard Road's shoulder ran excitedly toward him.
Lang Cang suddenly stood up, threw away the dagger in his hand, and said, "Let me see it!"
He poured out the note from the small bamboo tube; the handwriting on it was all too familiar to him: "The legion within the city has set off and will be here soon."
After seeing the words on the note, Lang Cang felt somewhat helpless. "I knew he would make this choice."
His purpose in sending a message back to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts was to see if Lang Luo and the others had arrived in the city. He had no intention of involving the City of Ten Thousand Beasts in the feud between the Star Wolf Clan.
Unexpectedly, Lin Baiyan acted so decisively, directly allocating an entire legion.
"What does it say?" Leopard Road craned his neck curiously.
Lang Cang clenched his fist and put the note back in his pocket. "Have Uncle Mo and the others returned?"
Seeing the precious note he held, Leopard Road secretly pursed his lips. "No, but it should be soon."
No sooner had they finished speaking than a commotion arose not far away, and Wolf Mo appeared in their sight, followed by Wolf Wang.
"How is it?" Lang Cang asked in a deep voice.
Wolf Mo casually sat down on a large rock, took off his water bag, and gulped down a mouthful of water. He shook his head. "Didn't find it."
"It's really strange. This area should be their territory. Could it be that we're going in the wrong direction?" Wolf looked on, completely puzzled.
Leopard Road scratched his head. "That's not right. There are clearly signs of orc activity around here. They can't possibly be flying or diving, can they?"
Lang Cang frowned. "Wait, what did you just say?"
"I said there were signs of orc activity here."
"No, the next sentence."
Wolf suddenly stood up, "Soaring to the heavens and plunging into the earth..."
"Is it possible that they are hiding underground?"
They were fixated on searching for their tracks near the forest, but overlooked the fact that the underground could also be a hiding place.
This……
The male orcs looked at each other, all somewhat uncertain.
Wolf Cang made the final decision, "As I just said, search in the direction underground."
"Yes!" Wolf Mo replied.
After discussing these matters, Lang Cang said, "Bai Yan has already led the city's legion this way."
"Have Lang Luo and the others already arrived at the City of Ten Thousand Beasts?" Lang Mo was overjoyed.
Lang Cang nodded. "If their marching route is normal, they should be coming with their legion this time." Knowing Lang Luo's personality, he will definitely come.
Wolf Mo responded, "It's good that you came. After all, we didn't bring many people. It's just that we've dragged down the Beast City."
As he spoke, a hint of guilt flickered in his eyes. Logically, this was clearly a matter for their Star Wolf Clan, yet it had dragged the City of Ten Thousand Beasts into it. He glanced up at Wolf Cang, knowing that the City of Ten Thousand Beasts had made this choice because of him.
It seems that in the eyes of those orcs, Lang Cang is indeed a qualified and great leader.
It would make them cross mountains and rivers, at any cost.
Hearing him say that, Lang Cang seemed to recall the group of clumsy but sincere beastmen in the city, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes. "They are very good." He was very grateful to have met Lin Baiyan and the group of beastmen from Ten Thousand Beasts City when he was in despair.
They all say that he protected the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, but what they don't know is that if it weren't for that group of beastmen from the Azure Flame Tribe, he would probably just be an ordinary beastman now, filled with hatred and hopelessly searching for his people.
Lang Cang rarely expressed his feelings so clearly, which Bao Lu found particularly novel. He had followed Lang Cang and Lin Baiyan from the beginning of the Cangyan Tribe to the present day, and while he wouldn't say he knew Lang Cang completely, he knew him to a great extent.
It was truly difficult to receive a compliment from their stern, taciturn, and even somewhat cold-hearted city lord.
At this moment, Leopard Road felt a deep sense of regret. If only he had the recorder the high priest had mentioned, he could have saved it and brought it back to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts so that everyone could hear it!
Lang Cang was unaware of what Leopard Road was thinking. He took out a charcoal pencil and wrote down their approximate location on the note, then summoned another bird.
He tied the bamboo tube containing the note to the bird's ankle, then patted its head. "Go find Bai Yan, understand?"
The little bird tilted its head at him, somewhat bewildered, but didn't move.
Wolf Cang sighed and took out a piece of dried meat from his animal skin pouch, holding it to the dog's mouth. "Is this alright now?"
The moment the little bird saw the jerky, its eyes, no bigger than mung beans, seemed to light up instantly. It quickly snatched the jerky from the wolf's hand, circled it a few times above it, and then suddenly swooped up and disappeared from sight.
Leopard Road watched Lang Cang coax the birds and found it extremely novel. He actually saw tenderness in their city lord's eyes just now!
"Truly worthy of being a bird tamed by the High Priest; just like that fat pigeon, it will only move when given food," Leopard Road muttered under his breath.
Upon hearing Lin Baiyan's name, Lang Cang's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but think of his little partner, whom he had been separated from for nearly half a year.
Lang Cang looked up at the boundless sky above him, and endless longing welled up in his heart.
Looking at Lang Cang, who exuded a gentle aura, and recalling his expressionless, cold-eyed, and icy appearance two years ago, Leopard Road couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, this is what they call one thing subduing another."
He bet that their city lord was thinking about the high priest right now!
