Chapter 70 The Orc Transaction
As soon as Xingyan and Mu Xue walked out of the tent, they saw several werewolfs walking over with three white wolves in their hands and stopped in front of them.
"This is your snow wolf." The werewolf in charge handed the reins in his hand to Chen Jian and turned around and left.
Chen Jian distributed the snow wolf in front of him to Xingyan and Mu Xue, and said, "During the time in the Beast King Empire, this is your mount. Although this snow wolf is not a high-level monster, it also belongs to the first-level wind-type monster. It is the best for transportation."
Xingyan carefully looked at the snow wolf in front of him, and saw that it was not smaller than an ordinary horse, and its hair was like white snow, which was extremely smooth to the touch. Moreover, these snow wolf was extremely docile. When he saw strange humans, he did not show any resistance.
"Let's go." After Chen Jian finished speaking, he turned over and jumped onto the snow wolf's back and walked out of the tribe.
Xingyan and Mu Xue couldn't wait to jump up. Xuelang didn't even want to resist and walked slowly with Chen Jian.
"It's so fun." Mu Xue rode on the snow wolf's back and said happily.
Xingyan was also happy when he rode on the snow wolf's back. He had ridden the horse, but after riding for a long time, the saddle would always make him feel a little uncomfortable. However, this time he rode on the wolf's back, he felt no discomfort at all, but was extremely comfortable. Moreover, the snow wolf's speed was much faster than the horse, and even if the terrain was rugged, he could not feel any bumps.
In the vast night, three snow wolf galloped rapidly on the barren land. Since the cold winter had just ended, the air was still a little cold, and the cool air hit the face, and it still felt a little cold.
Xingyan's body was shrouded in a ball of golden light, constantly resisting the oncoming cold wind.
Mu Xue's body emitted a faint blue light, and the howling cold wind was all blocked by him. However, when Mu Xue didn't even notice it, the cold air around her entered her body bit by bit, transformed into pure magic, and flowed into the sea of magic.
"It's so strange." Xing Yan looked around, as if he was looking for something, but he couldn't see it no matter how he looked for it.
"What are you looking for?" Chen Jian asked curiously.
"Why are those who are chasing us missing? Now we are so conspicuous but can't see half of us chasing us. It's so strange." Xing Yan said with a puzzled look on his face, with a trace of loss in his eyes.
"Haha!" Chen Jian couldn't help laughing twice.
"What are you laughing at?" Xing Yan asked.
"Where is this place?" Chen Jian asked back.
"Beast King Empire." Xingyan became even more confused.
"Just because this is the Beast King Empire, ordinary killers dare not come alone. Because once they encounter a group of wild beasts here, even the strong men from the Four Pearls will be buried here, so I chose to go here, but this is also a must-pass place for us to go." Chen Jian said.
"Then aren't we afraid of encountering wild beasts?" Xingyan asked.
"Don't be afraid, the snow wolf under us will avoid the group of wild animals in advance." Chen Jian said with a smile.
"I have always been curious about what exactly is the bag you threw on the ground in the werewolf tribe?" Xing Yan finally asked the doubt in his heart.
"Can't you think of it?" Chen Jian asked.
Xingyan shook his head gently, indicating that he didn't know.
Mu Xue looked at Xingyan's appearance and couldn't help but smile and said, "You are too stupid, you are food."
"Food?" Xing Yan said in surprise. Twenty bags of grain are the most expensive for a horse, but it is incredible that you can exchange for three snow wolf here.
"The land of the Beast King Empire is barren, and if you want to survive, food is also essential. Therefore, if humans want to make huge profits, they will use food to trade with orcs in exchange for mounts or beasts and other furs. These things are sky-high prices in the eyes of humans, so merchants will trade them." Chen Jian said.
"But these snow wolf is too cheap." Xing Yan was still a little surprised.
"This is the beast tribe. What they lack the least is wild beasts. They can only continue like this in order to survive. Even if they know that the goods in their hands can be more than ten times the price in humans, they can only compromise for food. Otherwise, they will have no food to survive at all." Chen Jian said with a sigh.
"Can't these orcs go to the human empire to trade on their own?" Xing Yan continued to ask.
"It's not easy to talk about this. In the eyes of us humans, orcs are just a group of wild beasts. So once the beast tribe enters the city, it will cause panic. Therefore, for nearly a thousand years, only humans have traded in the beast tribe, but no orcs dare to trade in the human city." Chen Jian said.
When Xing Yan heard Chen Jian’s story, he could barely understand the things about the mainland.
When the Star Flame passed through a rocky hill, the snow wolf gradually stopped and stopped in place to rest.
"It seems that although these snow wolf speed is fast, their endurance is not as good as that of horses." Xing Yan said lightly at the snow wolf lying on the ground resting.
"So beautiful." Mu Xue turned over and jumped off the wolf's back, stretched her tired body, and looked at the rising sun in the eastern sky. Just as the rising sun was fully raised, a white mist-like cloud covered the rising sun. Through the thin clouds, you could vaguely see strands of red mist, like a ball of flame burning the entire cloud.
Xing Yan stood beside Mu Xue, smiled faintly, and agreed: "It's really beautiful."
"Don't be beautiful, come and eat quickly." Chen Jian shouted with a little laugh.
Xingyan and Mu Xue turned their heads at the same time, and then they saw that Chen Jian had already set up a fire and were grilling the food they prepared.
After Mu Xue smelled the faint fragrance, her stomach suddenly made a gurgling sound, and she floated to Chen Jian like a flying hand in hand, grabbed the meat that was about to be roasted and started eating.
"Eat quickly. After eating, we are going to set off again." Chen Jian said as he threw a piece of barbecue in his hand to Xingyan.
Xingyan casually took the barbecue into his hand and slowly started eating it. It seemed that his appetite was not very good. He seemed to be tired of eating barbecue all day, but he didn't say anything, just ate it slowly.
Chen Jian looked at Xingyan's expression and knew that Xingyan was a little tired of meat. After all, even an orc could not eat only meat without vegetables. Especially Xingyan was still a teenager's growth period. Without sufficient nutrition, people would subconsciously want to eat some food to supplement the nutrients they lack.
When Chen Jian saw Mu Xue, he found that Mu Xue didn't seem to care about what she was eating, and there was no sign of anorexia. It seemed that as long as she was eating, she could satisfy her.
Xingyan ate a little, sat on a stone, and watched the sun breaking through the clouds, the warm sunlight shone on him, making him feel warm and extremely comfortable all over.
