Chapter 270 Condor
Chapter 270 Condor
Beside the waterfall, Hu Jiang looked at the countless iron rocks in front of him, his fingers trembling slightly.
"The High Priest actually managed to get so many!" Hu Yang's voice beside him was filled with undisguised shock.
This is equivalent to their supply for two or three months!
How did the high priest manage to do that?
Hu Yang's words brought Hu Jiang back to his senses: "Never mind where you got them from, once you have the raw materials, get to work."
"Go and call some men to take all of these back to the blacksmith's workshop!"
Hu Yang nodded quickly, "I'll go right away!"
With the Beast God above, could it be that their High Priest is truly an emissary of the Beast God?
Hu Yang racked his brains but couldn't figure out what kind of power could have acquired so much iron stone overnight.
It seems there's no explanation more reasonable than that of the Beast God's Messenger.
Not only Hu Yang, but the news spread throughout the entire tribe in no time. Everyone said that Lin Baiyan was the true messenger of the Beast God, with supreme divine power, capable of moving mountains in an instant.
When Lin Baiyan woke up, he noticed that the white epiphyllum mark on his wrist seemed to be more solid. He wasn't puzzled, since the epiphyllum mark had been appearing from time to time these days, but today it seemed to be more than usual.
After washing his face, he prepared to go out to the planting area to check on the wheat seeds that had been planted a few days ago.
Fortunately, he had a premonition and managed to plant wheat seeds in the ground with the beastmen before the first snow.
As the saying goes, "Minor Snow doesn't separate grains, Major Snow doesn't bring soil out."
Although they couldn't distinguish between the solar terms like Minor Snow and Major Snow, Lin Baiyan knew that if sowing was done after the ground froze, not only would turning the soil be difficult, but the wheat's heading rate would also be greatly reduced.
Lin Baiyan would be heartbroken if he were to waste these wheat seeds.
He was worried about his wheat seeds, and this time he used up half of them; they planted twenty acres of wheat.
Although these seeds were given by the Beast God, the lack of fertilizer meant that Lin Baiyan couldn't guarantee that every single one of them would sprout and bear fruit.
Lin Baiyan would be very satisfied as long as the yield per mu could reach 800 jin.
But why did it feel like everyone was staring at him when he went out today?
Lin Baiyan was puzzled. What was going on?
As the future High Priest of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, he usually attracts a lot of attention, but today, it seems that he is receiving an unusually large number of gazes, and there is an indescribable feeling about it.
Lin Baiyan was completely baffled and could only look back at each of them.
Even more amazingly, after Lin Baiyan responded with a smile, every orc who looked at him seemed to be injected with adrenaline!
Lin Baiyan: "???"
The orc who was seen: The Beast God's messenger looked at me, and he even smiled at me (?o ? o?)!
When they arrived at the planting area, Xiang Lei also secretly looked at him with the same gaze.
Lin Baiyan couldn't hold back any longer. "Xiang Lei, come here."
Caught off guard by the high priest's call, Xiang Lei paused for a moment, then obediently went over. "High Priest, is there something you need?"
"I wanted to ask you what's wrong. Why are you staring at me like that?"
When he asked that, Xiang Lei scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Really?"
Lin Baiyan nodded very seriously.
Xiang Lei then said, "They all say that the High Priest is the messenger of the Beast God, sent by the Beast God to save the Beastmen!"
"Those iron stones that appeared out of nowhere are the best proof," Xiang Lei said with an air of conviction.
Lin Baiyan was both amused and exasperated after hearing this. In a sense, the beastmen had also learned the truth.
He did come here because of the Beast God, and he did come to save the Beastman continent.
But of course, we can't say that to outsiders; let him think of a way to mislead us...
A thought suddenly struck Lin Baiyan, and he said with a smile, "How could I possibly move the stone over here myself? Why would you think that?"
"Wasn't it made by the high priest?"
Lin Baiyan shook his head mysteriously, then nodded, "No, but you could also say that."
Xiang Lei looked at him with some confusion, "So, is it or isn't it?"
Lin Baiyan feigned mystery, "Actually, it was brought to our tribe by the divine eagle."
"Divine Eagle?"
"Yes, I prayed to the Beast God, asking him to help the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, which is currently facing difficulties. After hearing this, the Beast God sent a divine eagle to bring us so much iron ore so that we can make tools and continue building the city." Lin Baiyan made up the story as soon as he opened his mouth, and it sounded very convincing.
Xiang Lei was stunned by him. "Was he sent by the Beast God?"
Lin Baiyan nodded seriously, "Of course, otherwise how could I possibly move so many stones by myself?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Lei looked at their high priest again. His somewhat thin figure did not seem like that of an orc capable of moving so many stones.
But if it's a divine eagle, how big would it have to be to deliver so much iron and stone in one night?
Just as Xiang Lei was pondering, Lin Baiyan continued, "You must not say it's because of me again, otherwise the Beast God will be unhappy if he hears it."
"This is all because the Beast God is considerate of our hard work."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Lei disregarded everything else and quickly clasped his hands together, pleading, "Beast God above, please do not be angry!"
Lin Baiyan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. For these beastmen, the Beast God was the most useful shield. Anything inexplicable became reasonable as long as the Beast God was involved.
"Alright, I'll also trouble you to tell them not to let the Beast God think that I stole his credit."
Xiang Lei nodded vigorously and said confidently, "No problem, I will definitely clear things up for Lord Beast God!"
Lin Baiyan nodded in satisfaction.
After resolving this matter, Lin Baiyan began to carefully examine the wheat seeds.
When they sowed the seeds, the weather hadn't suddenly turned cold yet. Seven days later, the wheat had sprouted one after another. Lin Baiyan checked them one by one, and the germination rate wasn't low.
After the inspection, Lin Baiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Xiang Lei, who had been following him, and said, "I'll have to trouble you guys to keep a close eye on things. If anything happens, be sure to let me know immediately."
Xiang Lei nodded seriously, "High Priest, don't worry, we've taken very good care of you!"
Lin Baiyan smiled and agreed.
After returning from the planting area, I happened to see a group of cubs with their arms around each other, talking about something. The ones leading the group were Wolfwood Tiger Leap and Tiger More.
Seeing the cubs huddled together whispering to each other, Lin Baiyan immediately became alert.
The cub is being quiet, but it's definitely up to mischief!
Not to mention Wolfwood and Tiger, these two cubs together are a winning combination!
