Shen Huaijin and the rest of the Asian beasts were all at a loss. He took two steps back, subconsciously looked at Ling and Ji who were not aware of the situation on the other side, and asked with a frown, "Could it be a wandering orc?"

He himself had been misunderstood by Li as a wandering orc, which showed that this was not uncommon.It is also possible for the desperate orcs to break into the sphere of influence of the tribe to hunt.

"No." Li spoke quickly, "It's a group of powerful orcs, I can feel their aura."

A few short whistles came from Taniguchi, heralding the occurrence of an unknown crisis.

The moonlight was silent, the wind stopped and the birds stopped singing. Even though Shen Huaijin didn't have such a strong sense of perception, he was aware of the anxiety in the atmosphere.His scalp was numb, and the hairs on his arms stood on end.

"Should I... rush out?" Shen Huaijin stared at Taniguchi intently and asked in a low voice.The distance to the intruder seemed to be getting closer and closer, and he could feel the orcs around him ready to move.

All it takes is one command, and the orcs will surge out, tearing apart any strange intruders who dare to invade.

When the arrow was on the line, the old orcs like Qiheshi came out to stabilize the situation.

"It's not a strange orc." They concluded.

The beast-like appearance returned quickly and steadily, and he let out a long breathing sound from his nasal cavity. He barely calmed down. He escorted Shen Huaijin to the other side of the stream, and asked with a frown: "Shi, who are they? I have never felt through their breath."

Qi Hehe next to him smiled, and teased, "Li, you're still very tender, you haven't seen too many orcs coming and going to the Dahe Tribe!"

Shi locked his brows and glanced at Qi coldly, signaling him not to joke about this kind of thing.Seeing some other young orcs approaching him, his face was full of curiosity and questioning, he explained: "This is the way of the traveling merchant orcs, dozens of Yanhan in the Dahe tribe have never welcomed the traveling merchant, traveling merchant The members of the team change quickly, and it is normal for you not to recognize the aura in it."

The young orcs and sub-beasts looked at each other, full of excitement.They have heard many legends about traveling merchants, but they walk on the road for three seasons, the route is just staggered from the market route, and in the cold season, they only choose large tribes to stop, and rarely care about small tribes.Except for dozens of Yanhan who came here once before, there is no other intersection with the current Dahe Tribe.

Shen Huaijin grasped the point at once, and asked: "Shi, the wandering merchant orcs have entered the sphere of influence of the tribe, does it mean that they are coming to the valley to exchange supplies with us?"

"Although the whereabouts of the wandering orcs are uncertain..." Shi pondered for a moment, and agreed: "But they are very cautious, and generally do not enter the hunting range of a certain tribe to avoid disputes. Since they have come, they have the intention of visiting. "

"It seems that Jin's pottery and other things have won their approval." He said with Yourong.

Hearing this guess, everyone changed their tension and vigilance just now, and immediately cheered.

Shen Huaijin took Li Rough and generous hands, and looked at the silent orc.

Apa, who abandoned him and ran away, had a deep-rooted knot in his heart, and it was his chronic illness.Li's Apa once gave up the entire Eastern Continent for love, resolutely left for freedom, and ventured back to the caravan. From the beginning to the end, he didn't give the boy the slightest consideration.

Li Xuxu shook his hand and said softly: "Let's go back."

In the early morning of the second day, the traveling merchant team arrived as scheduled.

They sat on tall gray-skinned beasts, rode the golden sun, and marched into the valley in sync with the sun.

There are [-] or [-] such beasts in the team. They are almost as big as adult longhorned beasts. They all have big heads with curled ears, short necks and broad backs. There are also thick and long horns on their heads that bend upwards. It is enough to imagine how fierce they are. ferocious.

The dozen or so beasts behind were loaded with a large amount of well-packaged supplies, and the six or seven beasts walking in front each had three or four tall and strong orcs standing or sitting on them, and sporadic sub-beasts and cubs could be seen.

Although the orcs of the Dahe Tribe are full of curiosity about the traveling merchants, due to their nature, they are unavoidably wary and xenophobic when facing strange orcs.

Yan went out to go to the market, and Lin was stationed at the base again. In the end, only Shen Huaijin, Li and Shi could act as temporary representatives to negotiate with the traveling merchant orcs.

The two sides had their own fears, and tried to approach each other, and finally stood still at the lower reaches of the stream.

A flexible ladder was tied to the beast, and a red-haired orc in the lead landed nimbly. He patted the beast that was a little restless because of this, and then smiled brightly at the three leaders.

There are old and new scars on his face and exposed waist and abdomen, looking horrifying and terrifying, enough to show that traveling merchants are dangerous.However, his smile diluted the viciousness brought by his appearance, and also broke the stalemate between the two sides.

"My name is Yi. I am the leader of the traveling merchant orcs. I came here to visit the Dahe Tribe."

The traveling merchant orcs behind Yi cheered, but the sub-beasts, who accounted for a small number of them, were still subconsciously protecting their cubs, obviously fearful.

As the longest person, Shi Shangqian squinted his eyes at the red-haired orc, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, "Strange? I remember that when the wandering merchant orcs came to the Dahe Tribe last time, the leader seemed to be another orc?"

Yi gave a hearty laugh, as if he didn't mind what Shi said, "Traveling merchants is a matter of predators. We have wind in our blood, and we are destined to wander and die early. We are used to this kind of life."

His eyes swept over Shen Huaijin, and the smile on his face was even bigger, "Surely this is Jin Wu who is famous in Linshanyuan, right?"

Shen Huaijin nodded reservedly, unmoved by the flattery, "Heard of me?"

"Even if you haven't heard the name of Jin Wu, you will be surprised by the pottery from the Dahe tribe. I have never seen such exquisite and durable pottery. It is said that the dry leader of the Dasen tribe got a more precious "sweater". I must pay a visit from time to time." Yi's words were extremely exaggerated, with a chant tone, and he looked at the linen clothes Shen Huaijin and others were wearing, and his eyes became meaningful, "And now it seems that the Dahe Tribe still has Many rare things have never flowed out, and I don't know..."

Li turned sideways slightly, blocking his eyes from looking Shen Huaijin up and down, and looked back coldly, "The Dahe Tribe is not afraid of the outflow of treasures, but only to see if the leader has something worthy of our exchange."

The two orcs, one cold and one hot, looked at each other for a long time, and then laughed in unison.

Holding Shen Huaijin tightly, he turned his body slightly, and said in a low tone, "Please."

Seeing this, Yi Yang waved his hand, and the seventeen or eight beasts behind him lowered their bodies, making a uniform muffled sound, and the riders above filed down and gathered together.

This is a signal of peace and no war between the two sides.

The gray-skinned beast was driven out of the valley, and the traveling merchant team headed towards the square under the guidance of the tribe.

Shen Huaijin and Li walked at the end, watching Haohao Tangtang's team moving forward, he looked ahead and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Li, what do you think of this team?"

The silver-haired orc was silent for a moment before he said in a hoarse voice: "The life of a traveling merchant is full of dangers. No matter how strong an orc is, he may not be able to escape from the mouth of a beast, let alone a sub-beast."

He seemed to be answering the wrong question, but Shen Huaijin understood everything. He lowered his head and said "huh" twice, then grabbed the orc's hand and interlocked his fingers, promising softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm always here."

As he spoke, there was a pain in his fingers, and it was the orc who subconsciously clasped him tightly.Shen Huaijin gently covered it with the other hand, and said softly: "This is his choice, it is the ending that he feels... the most comfortable."

Li stood still, and after a long time, he did not reply in a low voice, "En."

During the day, the tribe and the traveling caravan had various exchanges, and their relationship developed by leaps and bounds. When it was time to hold a banquet to welcome the traveling merchants at night, Shen Huaijin felt that they had reached the point where they could "talk over wine".However, it is a good thing for the tribe to welcome traveling merchants, and Shen Huaijin is happy to see it succeed.

Everyone is already familiar with the preparations for the tribal dinner, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about it. Shen Huaijin only needs to be by the side to give some guidance.

In the past few days, the tribe has harvested a lot of sweet potatoes, and made a lot of starch and vermicelli, so everyone made a lot of roasted sweet potatoes, hot and sour noodles and stewed animal meat vermicelli.

Inspired by the bean dregs omelet, Shen Huaijin wanted to try a new way of eating.

The sweet potato slurry water that has settled for a long time seems to be divided into two layers, the upper layer is translucent water, and the bottom is moist and thick sweet potato starch. In fact, there is a thin starch suspension layer where the two layers meet.If this area is deposited a few more times, some starch can be harvested, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Under the operation of the tribe's wide opening and closing, and the pursuit of speed, it is basically directly abandoned.

But after all, food is precious, and coarse-grain cakes are delicious and sweet, which is deeply loved by him, so Shen Huaijin decided to use it to try to spread cakes, thinking that the traveling caravans who have been traveling for a long time would not have eaten this kind of food.

Shen Huaijin took the sweet potato slurry that had been settled overnight, poured off the upper translucent liquid, scooped out the starch suspension layer in the middle and put it together with a part of the surface of the starch layer, which looked mushy.

He cracked some bird eggs into it, sprinkled with salt and chopped green onion, stirred evenly, spread it on the pan with high heat, and the thin cake bubbled up in an instant, and was immediately turned over.

The traveling caravan has traveled to the Eastern Continent for so many years, and the members naturally know how to advance and retreat. Even if they see such unheard-of things as iron pans, kitchen knives, and vermicelli, they never ask them to go closer.Only Yi occasionally came to chat with Shen Huaijin, and was also pulled by Li La, who was on the sidelines, to go to other places to chat politely.

Shen Huaijin took a break from her busy schedule and glanced over there, only to see that Li was able to deal with the treacherous and cunning aliens with ease.

It was only then that he clearly realized the growth of the other party. Even during the time we got along, Li still habitually made jokes and jokes when facing him, but he had matured in his heart, and he was no longer the same as last year because of the leader Xiao. "There is something in the words" and feel at a loss what to do.

Shen Huaijin quietly raised the corners of her lips, and stacked the spread cakes one by one.

As night falls and the stars twinkle, new friends gather to celebrate encounters.

The traveling caravan seems to be divided into superior and inferior. Only some of the more than 20 members sat down to eat, while the others stood by, unmoved at all.

Seeing Shen Huaijin's curious expression, Yi took the initiative to explain: "We are traveling merchants, so we must maintain a high degree of vigilance, so the members eat alternately, Jin Wu doesn't have to worry too much."

Shen Huaijin nodded again and again to make it clear, but in their Dahe Tribe there is no tradition of letting people watch their meals. He took the pancakes on the side, wrapped them with grilled animal meat strips and crisp and refreshing side dishes, and gave them to the vigilant staff. The orcs each delivered two volumes.

He said softly: "This meat roll can be eaten by holding it, it won't affect you."

The orc on the opposite side was startled, took it very carefully, and took the first bite under the push of his companion, his eyes lit up visibly.

"good to eat!"

Yi looked at this scene with a smile on his face, and said: "Jin Wu is really smart, he can come up with such a convenient way to eat."

Shen Huaijin is not a simple native, this kind of person who has been immersed in speech for a long time always makes him feel weird when speaking, even if this is not necessarily the other party's original intention.

He sighed in his heart, but what he showed was a gentle response to Yi's words, "Boss Yi, this is a delicious way for you."

He also wrapped a meat roll for himself, and took a bite.

The pancakes have the unique fragrance of coarse grains, soaked in gravy and soft and delicious; the roasted meat inside is just right, with plenty of juice and a strong taste, and it is also fried with chili and licorice powder, which is delicious and delicious; The bright yellow pickled radish tastes sour, crisp and raw, which relieves the greasy taste of animal meat.

Dissenting that he was eating happily, he didn't have the usual proud look that other big witches couldn't hide when they heard him praise, and he also sighed in his heart.

Yi Yi calmly took a bite of the burrito that was loved by everyone, and after chewing twice, he realized...

It turned out to be really delicious!

After inhaling wildly, he realized that the people around him, especially the orcs in the traveling caravan, were quite surprised. He lowered his head and coughed twice, and casually shifted the conversation and said, "Jin Wu, when we came here just now, we saw your warriors We got along very well with the longhorn beasts, but I didn't expect that the Dahe tribe would start manipulating the beasts when Thirty Yanhan disappeared."

"Yes." Shen Huaijin nodded, "But it's still not as uniform and disciplined as the beasts under the control of Chief Yan."

Hearing this, Yan laughed and said proudly: "The gray-skinned beast is a loyal friend of the merchant. We have raised it since we were young, and we are connected with each other."

Shen Huaijin listened to it and studied secretly.In this way, Zhuang Zhuang and they get along very happily with the tribe now, and they can be regarded as embarking on the road of manipulating wild animals in caravans.

Everyone laughed and laughed in a harmonious atmosphere until late at night.

There are more than 20 members in the traveling caravan, and there are not enough empty houses in the tribe. Fortunately, they are all used to this kind of life.Everyone delineated the range of Taniguchi and prepared to rest with the gray-skinned beasts.

Shen Huaijin was helping to light the bonfire, and when he was about to leave, he saw yellow powder poured around the gray-skinned beast, and the clear night wind blew a faint and special smell.

Shen Huaijin's breath was stagnant, and she asked subconsciously.

"what is this?!"

The author has something to say: the idea of ​​the sweet potato pulp water cake comes from the little angel "Pingzhou" under the comments in Chapter 30, because I didn't find any information about the small pulp on the Internet, so I added my own understanding to the specific production process~
