Chapter 153: Inquire about information
"Yuxi, why are you sitting here alone?" An old voice came. Lin Yuxi turned around and saw Wu Zheng walking slowly towards her.
"Witch." Lin Yuxi bowed respectfully.
The witch smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Why don't you play with everyone?" He glanced at Jiang Qingqing who was laughing among the tribesmen, then turned to look at the little female beside him.
"Are you saddened by the scene?"
After all, after experiencing such a big change, it is understandable that you feel a little fragile.
Lin Yuxi smiled slightly, skipped the topic, and asked the question she had wanted to know for a long time.
"Wu, why haven't I seen the leader of our tribe?"
"Oh, you mean Hu Meng. He took his people to attend this year's gathering!"
Tiger fierce?
If he has this name, then it’s obviously not Minghui!
If we take people out, will Minghui appear in this team?
Lin Yuxi pursed her lips, a hint of worry showing on her face, and said softly:
"Wu, the leader is leading his men out to attend the meeting. I'm sure the journey won't be peaceful, right?
We have been stranded here from our previous tribe and have experienced so many hardships and dangers. Thinking about it now, I am still terrified. I don’t know if the leader and his men will encounter any dangers this time.”
As she spoke, she unconsciously tightened her animal skirt, but her eyes were fixed on Wu.
Wu's expression became slightly solemn when he heard this. He sighed and said after a long while:
"Alas, this journey is indeed not easy. But this gathering is the only way for our tribes to exchange materials. No matter how difficult it is, we still have to go!
But Chief Tiger is strong and healthy, and he is accompanied by the strongest warriors in our tribe, so he should be able to handle most situations."
Lin Yuxi nodded slightly and continued to ask thoughtfully: "Which tribesmen did Chief Hu Meng bring this time?" Her eyes seemed casual, but in fact they concealed a hint of concern.
The witch stroked his beard and said slowly: "There is Ali, Hu Meng's capable assistant, and Afeng, who is good at tracking, as well as many young and strong warriors in our tribe."
Lin Yuxi was secretly calculating in her heart, but she still said calmly: "Oh, that means the most powerful warriors in our tribe have been taken away by the leader? I thought Captain Hu Lie of the hunting team was the most powerful in our tribe, but I didn't expect there is someone more powerful!"
"Witch, there are so many warriors in our tribe! I really hope they can all come back soon!"
Lin Yuxi said this with a look of longing, and then seemed to remember something, and asked in confusion, "Wu, is there anything special about this gathering? Why does our leader have to go there in person? Will many tribes participate?"
The witch looked into the distance and said slowly, "The gathering is an important moment for the tribes to communicate. They will exchange materials, share what they have, discuss some major issues, and show the strength of each tribe. Our leader will go to let other tribes know how powerful we are."
Lin Yuxi said "Oh" softly, and suddenly realized: "So that's the case, it is indeed extremely important. So Chief Hu Meng is the most powerful in our tribe? Wu, where is this gathering held? Is it far from here?"
"Well, Hu Meng is indeed the first warrior of our tribe. The leader of the tribe has always been the most powerful warrior. This is the tradition of our Orc Continent!"
"A gathering? It's held in the Elk Tribe, which is half a month's walk away from us. It's the closest large tribe to us, so we usually choose to go there. In addition, the Elk Tribe weaves a special kind of brocade, which is soft to wear and is especially popular with females."
Wu looked at the beasts on Lin Yuxi's body and said with a smile: "We brought a lot of animal skins and dried meat this time. I think we can exchange them for a lot of salt. If there is any surplus, the tribe leader will probably exchange it for some brocade. If you want, you can take the things to exchange for some clothes in the future!"
Lin Yuxi frowned slightly, as if thinking: "Wu, have we only prepared animal skins, dried meat and the like? Although these things are good, other tribes also have similar ones. Won't they be unable to exchange them?"
The witch shook his head and said, "Silly child, the exchange at the gathering is not just about the goods, but also about the needs and relationships between the tribes. Our tribe has always been honest and trustworthy, and is respected by other tribes."
"Besides, although the things we prepared are not very special, they are what everyone needs, so it is still easy to replace them! Yunjin is good, but we can only enjoy it when we have the conditions!"
Lin Yuxi nodded in understanding, "Wu, when will they be able to come back?"
Wu estimated and said, "Based on their speed, it will take one or two days at the earliest and six or seven days at the latest."
Hearing this, Lin Yuxi silently calculated in his mind that it had been five days since they got here, and the other party would need at least two more days to arrive. That is to say, if Shen Minghui was in the team, they should have been on their way back.
And another orc was traveled by Shen Minghui, which means...
Shen Minghui and the others...were attacked?
Lin Yuxi bit her lip and asked, "Is it possible that we will encounter provocations from other powerful tribes or attacks from wild beasts along the way?"
Wu's expression became serious: "It is possible, but the warriors of our tribe are not vegetarians either."
Lin Yuxi's eyes flashed with nervousness: "What would happen if we really met?"
The witch said with a firm look: "Don't worry, child. The people in our tribe are all experienced and will not be easily defeated."
A breeze blew by, and Lin Yuxi couldn't help shrinking her neck. So does this mean that she has to bear it head-on? Haha, it's really like an orc! She is now basically certain that Shen Minghui is in the team going out this time!
I just don't know what the situation is over there now?
Wu looked at Lin Yuxi with a worried look on her face and sighed in her heart. She was indeed a little female who had never seen the world. She was so scared over such a small thing.
In order to ease the mind of this young female he favored, Wu thought for a moment and said, "If the tribe leader and his men successfully complete the exchange, they will indeed bring back a lot of important supplies. If there are really scheming beasts who want to do something bad, it will be quite dangerous! So, I will let Dashan take people to welcome them!"
"Wu is still the most thoughtful one. This is perfect!" Lin Yuxi finally heard a satisfactory answer. She felt relieved and quickly raised her emotional value to the maximum.
Wu patted Lin Yuxi's shoulder with a smile and said:
"Okay, that's it! I'll arrange for the beasts to go right away! Don't just sit here all the time, go and have some fun with them! These orcs in the tribe are pretty good, young man, you must know how to enjoy yourself!" After saying that, the witch slowly left.
