Under the escort of the sea whales, on the eighth day, they arrived at the mouth of the Black River. The sea whales stopped moving forward, and sprayed out water columns as high as tens of meters, making calls, and saying goodbye to their companions who had traveled with them all the way.

Lang Yu stood on the deck, waving to Jing Chi, with a beautiful pearl necklace hanging around his neck. "Brother Chi, come again next time! I'll take you hunting."

Jing Chi responded by spraying a stream of water, saying that he was going to collect treasures and exchange them for delicious food with Lang Yu.

Jing Chi discovered that the orcs on the ship all liked these shiny things. It was easy to catch fish at sea, but it was difficult to transport them to land, unless they dried them like in Black Rock City, but they could not transport them in large quantities. Jing Chi decided to get these shiny things to exchange, which would be much more convenient.

He was complacent about his discovery, followed the adults, and disappeared into the deep sea with a flick of his tail.

The night before saying goodbye, Qiao Xin called Jing Kang onto the boat and told him some information about crude oil, hoping that he could help find it. If he found it, Qiao Xin was willing to exchange something for it.

Jing Kang agreed. Their sea whale tribe could be said to be the overlords of the ocean and could go anywhere. It was just a matter of looking for crude oil. They could just travel to more places.

When Qiao Xin said goodbye to Jing Kang, she didn't even mention the rubber. Lang Rui thought about it carefully and realized that this was an agreement between Qiao Xin and Bao Ye. A race cannot rely on itself alone, but must rely on countless races to form a huge network of interests.

As long as these races gain benefits, they will inevitably crowd into Black Rock City. They do not want to see Black Rock City in trouble. Traveling merchants have become the eyes and ears of Black Rock City scattered across the continent. Whatever they hear and see, they will inevitably tell Black Rock City as long as it harms their interests.

Lang Rui looked at Qiao Xin with admiration, and Qiao Xin raised her eyebrows at him proudly, her charm fully revealed in her eyebrows.

Lang Rui held Qiao Xin's red face in his hands and said, "My Great Wizard is indeed the smartest in the world."

Qiao Xin's ears hidden under the hood of his cloak moved, and he laughed loudly, accepting it gladly, "My city lord is the bravest warrior in the world."

Lang Rui reached out and removed the frost from Qiao Xin's eyelashes, watched the Sea Whale Tribe leave, and waved his hand, "Go back to Black Stone City."

The whistling sound was transmitted layer by layer, and the ship set sail again and entered the Black River.

The three ships returned intact and brought back countless seafood, but the closer they got to Black Rock City, the more depressed the mood became. In every war, there will inevitably be deaths, and for the families who were looking forward to the return of the soldiers, it was a heavy blow and the collapse of a family.

Lang Rui took a deep breath and decided to face the situation and not avoid it.

It would take another half a sunset to get close to Black Rock City. The kitchen did not open the fire. Instead, shortly after entering the Black River, they arrived at Silver Moon Village and docked at the already built pier in Silver Moon Village. Everyone lined up to get off the boat. Lang Rui held Lang Chen and followed Lang Mu into Silver Moon Village.

Silver Moon Village is completely different from other villages. It is well-organized and looks like a war fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is even a group of children responsible for patrolling.

Qiao Xin watched with great interest and listened to Lang Mu's proud explanation.

"This is your first time here, so the design here must be familiar to you, Master Qiao Xin, but these defenses were all arranged by us."

Qiao Xin was certainly aware of the advantages of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, otherwise she would not have given this throat fortress to Silver Moon to guard.

The orcs of Silver Moon Village received the news while on patrol, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Lang Rui's family, along with several apprentices from Baolin who were responsible for driving the boat, entered the yard where Lang Mu lived.

The courtyard is tidy and dust-free, and you can tell at a glance that someone cleans it regularly.

Lang Rui waved away the tribesmen who wanted to come and help with the resettlement and did it himself.

Qiao Xin, Mao Bai and Bai Ru prepared meals for the group.

The Blackrock City territory has entered early winter and the temperature is a bit low, but many male orcs are still only wearing thin animal skin coats and do not feel cold at all. However, all the cubs brought out are wrapped tightly, like a round ball.

They ran around and played in the village, and Lang Rui didn't care about them. Once they entered the territory, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed and they let the cubs play.

Soon, Lang Yu became friends with the cubs in Yinyue Village who had not gone to school in the city. He was like a leader among the kids, and they followed him wherever he went.

The three little ones also went to play.

Qiao Xin poured the well water into a large iron pot, took the shrimp meat chopped by Lang Rui, adjusted the taste, scooped it out spoonful by spoonful, and threw it into the boiling water.

On the other side, Mao Bai was shaving milk bricks into the iron pot. Private cooking was not allowed in the cabins on the ship for fear of causing a fire. The cubs all ate from the big pot in the cafeteria on the ship and could only chew the milk bricks raw.

Now that the conditions are met, Mao Bai heated up a pot of milk for the cubs to drink.

Qiao Xin can grow crops, so there is always enough food when traveling. In addition, with the addition of fishing later, the team has no shortage of food and drink, but they still have to save where necessary.

Bai Ru took out the compressed grain bricks and put them into the pot to cook. The grain bricks were made of crushed corn cobs mixed with corn flour, rice flour, etc. and dried in the sun. They were stored as war reserve materials.

A large piece can be foamed into a large pot, which is enough to fill the stomach and is the best food for them when traveling.

Many traveling merchants would buy from them.

After making the shrimp balls, Qiao Xin started to cook a pot of mixed fish.

Fry the small fish, which is three fingers wide, on both sides until golden brown, adjust the seasoning, add green onion and ginger, add water and cook until cooked. It is quick and convenient.

The fragrance spread quickly. Lang Yu, who had gone out to play, smelled the aroma and came back with his younger brothers and sisters. They crowded around the well to wash their hands, and from time to time their eyes glanced at the food that had been served.

"Balls." Lang Chen washed the fastest because he was the cleanest. He climbed onto the table and pointed at the shrimp balls and asked for food.

After he had started eating, the other children came up to the table, while the adults ate while standing, holding their bowls.

Several males gathered around the table, listening to the cubs' instructions from time to time and picking up food for them, while Qiao Xin and the others sat under the eaves, enjoying this rare tranquility and comfort.

"It feels so good to be home." This was Mao Bai's first time on a long journey. He had gained some experience, but he also deeply understood the hardships involved. He was nervous on the boat all day long. Qiao Xin and the others were probably in even greater pain as they were imprisoned.

"Yes!" Bai Ru also sighed, "Qiao Xin, it's not easy for you guys."

"Get used to it!"

Two people: "..." They probably can't get used to this kind of thing.

After dinner, we decided to rest in Silvermoon Village for one night and return to Blackrock City tomorrow.
