LSLFBW: Chapter 106 Part 2

Hou Su watched these beastmen carrying animal skin bags out of the cave one by one like ants moving house. The slaves who looked very thin were able to move even after carrying four or five animal skin bags. Hou Su thought in his heart, ‘They are quite good at hiding.’

Qi Bai and Diao Lan walked in the middle of the group with the sub-beastmen and the seriously injured. There was no other way. The current conditions were like this. As long as their feet weren’t injured, all the injured had to follow the group and slowly walk forward.

As a result, the speed of the entire group naturally slowed down. The journey that originally took only a day ended up taking longer despite their continuous travels. It wasn’t until the second half of the night that they finally reached the mountain range where the carts had been buried.

Lang Ze whistled, signaling to rest.

There was a commotion in the group. They were the beastmen who didn’t understand the secret code of the Black Mountain Tribe. They heard Lang Ze’s howling and instinctively thought they were in danger.

However, the commotion didn’t last long. In the long group, every few steps, there was a horned beastman from the Black Mountain Tribe following. They shuttled among the beasts, quickly calmed everyone down, and slowly moved forward.

After unloading all the supplies, Qi Bai took Diao Lan and a few others to get busy. They had been traveling for a whole day. What everyone needed most now was a hot meal.

Lang Ze led his subordinates to explore the surroundings and confirmed that no other beastmen and beasts had come to this land during the days when they were away. Then they found the location where the carts were buried and started digging.

Hou Su watched this scene from the side and felt that the Black Mountain Tribe was different from other tribes in every way.

Just look at the injured slaves and two-legged sheep. After arriving here, they were asked to lie down and rest on the spot. Meanwhile, Qi Bai, the master, was preparing enough food for everyone to be half full.

Of course, what was even more interesting was that the tall beastman boy was just a slave, but he could command everyone in the tribe.

However, Hou Su soon stopped thinking about Lang Ze’s identity. It was because at this moment, Lang Ze and his subordinates had already dug out parts of the cart. They moved quickly and assembled a cart.

Hou Su looked at the round bone wheels and the cart board for placing items, and his jaw dropped. He ran toward the cart without looking back, almost tripping on the vines on the road.

Lang Ze ignored Hou Su, who was kneeling on the ground and almost sticking her entire face to the bone wheel. After quickly assembling the remaining two carts, he said, “We need to prepare some more wooden boards and make the remaining four wheels into carts as well.”

These four bone wheels were originally used as spare tires to prevent the wheels from being damaged on the road. However, the supplies and personnel they brought with them on the trading day were more than planned, so these four b one wheels needed to be used in advance.

As for the production of the cart body, it was much simpler and more crude. Lang Ze didn’t intend to make a smooth one. It would be fine as long as it could be assembled and fixed on the wheels to tow the cargo.

In the forest not far from the makeshift camp, the slaves formed two distinct teams and were secretly competing with each other.

Quan Nan was chopping down a big tree with the stone axe she had just made of stones and wood. As long as she smelled the aroma of meat wafting from not far away, she could forget the soreness of her muscles and felt that she had endless strength.

It wasn’t just Quan Nan. Several other beastmen slaves who were chopping down the same tree as her also gritted their teeth and smashed their stone axes into the tree.

It was because Ma Ling had gathered them together and said that they could get an extra bowl of meat as long as they cut down a tree.

In the past, they had countless jobs, but they could only guarantee enough food to keep them from starving to death. They couldn’t even imagine such a good thing.

On the other side, a group of young beastmen led by Lang Ji gathered under another big tree. Their bodies had just recovered a bi,t and they were using all their strength.

No one wanted to embarrass Lang Ze. They wanted to prove to everyone that the wolf tribe had the strongest beastmen.

The horned beastmen were working hard, and the sub-beastmen weren’t idle either. Except for a few people who stayed behind to cook, the rest followed Qi Bai to learn how to weave vine baskets with vines to hold the extra supplies.

After being busy for two or three hours, everyone finally spread the animal skins on the ground, huddled together, and went to sleep.

Tu Ruo lay on the gentle slope and reached out to grab the swaying stars in the sky.

For someone like her, who had long lost her tribe and even her identity, a stable light was as unattainable as the starlight.

However, the soft animal skin beneath her body and the stomach filled with food felt so real.

Tu Ruo listened to the snoring sounds entering her ears and slowly closed her eyes.

Unlike the others who were sleeping soundly, the 15 members of the Black Mountain Tribe were sitting not far from the temporary camp.

The Rough Wood Tribe traveled among the tribes in the Northern Wilderness and obtained far more slavers and two-legged sheep than they had brought to the trading day.

Part of them were sold by the two-legged sheep to the cannibal tribe that was 12 or 13 days away from the trading day location.

It was precisely due to the detour to this tribe that the Rough Wood Tribe arrived much later than expected to the trading day.

Among these slaves, there were more than 20 members of the Silver Moon Tribe.

Most of the two-legged sheep that Qi Bai exchanged for this time were Lang Ze’s former tribe members. This was something everyone knew, but no one knew that Lang Ji had privately contacted Lang Ze again.

After listening to Lang Ze’s words, Xiang Yu asked, “But we don’t know the direction of the cannibal tribe.”

Lang Ze said, “Lang Ji marked the road. He can find the way back.”

Hu Meng bumped his fists together and said excitedly, “Captain, are we going to attack this cannibal tribe?”

Qi Bai waved his hand and said, “That tribe has at least 200 people. There is no benefit in us getting into a conflict with them. Lang Ze and I plan to have everyone stay here and wait while we go over and exchange those people for salt or food.”

Huan Ping raised an objection. “The cannibal tribe isn’t a reasonable tribe. You will only be treated as food.”

On this point, no one had more right to express an opinion than Huan Ping, who kept an eye on the Bloodthirsty Tribe every day.

Lang Ze nodded. “I will bring the people of the Silver Moon Tribe with me. If they don’t agree with the exchange, I will fight with them.”

Hu Qiao said in an unconvinced manner, “Those horned beastmen are so weak. How can they compare to us? You must take us to fight together.”

The moment Xiong Feng and the others heard Hu Qiao’s words, they all nodded vigorously in agreement.

Only Quan Nan had a different thought. She grabbed the weeds on the ground and asked in a low voice, “Lang Ze, are you going to leave with your people?”

After Qi Bai’s teachings, Quan Nan had learned basic calculations.

Not to mention anything else, there was just the number of people. There were a total of 48 beastmen who were bought as two-legged sheep this time. 40 of them were members of the Silver Moon Tribe. Excluding the two who died of illness, there were still 38 people left.

Adding the people they were going to rescue, the number of Silver Moon people would definitely exceed the current number of the Black Mountain Tribe.

Quan Nan thought somewhat frustratedly that since the 50 or so members of the Black Mountain Tribe could establish a tribe, then Lang Ze could completely abandon them and lead the people of the Silver Moon Tribe to rebuild their own tribe.

The moment Quan Nan finished speaking, the surroundings became silent as everyone looked in Lang Ze’s direction.

It wasn’t known when it began, but Lang Ze had become the Black Mountain Tribe’s support. No matter whether it was defeating the Wolf King or obtaining prey in winter, it seemed that as long as he was there, the Black Mountain Tribe didn’t need to worry about any danger.

No one wanted Lang Ze to abandon them like this.

A trace of confusion flashed across Qi Bai’s face. In his subconscious, Lang Ze would always be with him. He never thought about whether Lang Ze would leave the Black Mountain Tribe after finding his tribe members.

Lang Ze crossed his arms over his chest and said solemnly, “Each of us has sworn to never betray the Black Mountain Tribe. I will always abide by my oath.”

“There is no Silver Moon Tribe on the continent today. I am the leader of the Black Mountain’s hunting team, and I will never betray the Black Mountain Tribe.”

Lang Ze’s promise wiped away the gloom on everyone’s faces. Tun Quan waved his fist and said, “Then you have to take us with you. We are from the same tribe, and we have to fight together.”

“That’s right!”

”That’s right!”

Lang Ze saw everyone’s determined expressions and closed his eyes. “I thank you on behalf of the members of the Silver Moon Tribe.”

Xiang Yu disagreed. “The Black Mountain Tribe is a tribe without slaves. The people we are going to rescue are our future tribe members. We don’t need their thanks.”

Hu Xue said with a smile, “Even if you want us to stay here, we don’t want to. Who knows if there will be other beastmen and beasts here? It is safer to follow you.”

Hu Xue’s words broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere.

In fact, as captain of the trading team, Lang Ze had the right to decide the team’s direction. He only hesitated because it involved his former tribe.

However, after going through so much, everyone had become united as one. No one would back down. They had become each other’s support.

Xiang Yu, the only old beastman in the team, made the decision right away. “It is settled. We will finish the cart tomorrow and set off immediately. Now let’s go to bed.”

Qi Bai watched the figures of everyone walking away and said to Lang Ze, “Everyone trusts you.”

No one doubted the information provided by Lang Ji, and no one questioned whether Lang Ji had the ability to find the cannibal tribe.

All of this was because everyone believed in Lang Ze. It was also due to Lang Ze that everyone was willing to accept these new tribe members who weren’t friendly to them.

“I won’t fail everyone’s trust.”
