Chapter 147 Leafy Stem
Chapter 147 Leafy Stem
Xiong Fei's heart, which had just been soaring, finally settled down. "Priest, rest assured, we will do our best to build the wall."
The priest said that having walls would create a defensive force.
He had seen the design of the wall drawn by the priest before, and Lin Baiyan's actions at the time had completely stunned the tribe's beastmen.
The wall is so lifelike on the stone slabs that you can imagine how tall and majestic it would look once it was built, just by looking at the stone slabs.
If such a wall can be successfully built, then their Cangyan tribe will be able to withstand attacks from most tribes.
Lin Baiyan watched Xiong Fei hyping himself up and smiled calmly. "Alright, you can go out now."
Xiong Fei clenched his fists and left the cave full of energy.
After resolving this matter, Lin Baiyan glanced at the stone slab beside him, closed his eyes briefly, and then opened them again, feeling that he couldn't bear it any longer.
He stood up, left the cave, walked to the spot where the old orc was weaving baskets, and bent down to pick and choose.
Xi Yang was weaving the bottom of a bamboo basket when he saw Lin Baiyan's movements and asked curiously, "Baiyan, what are you looking for?"
Lin Baiyan didn't even look up. "Find thin bamboo."
Seeing how diligently he was searching, Xi Yang asked another question, "What are you looking for thin bamboo for? Are you making tools again?"
Lin Baiyan had just found a handy bamboo stick. Hearing Xi Yang's question, he stood up and brushed the bamboo leaves off the stick. "Use bamboo to prune those useless saplings!"
Xi Yang was a little confused. What was Bai Yan saying? She didn't understand.
However, Hou Lin, who was standing to the side, seemed to sense something from Lin Baiyan's actions.
Lin Baiyan waved the bamboo strips he had used to remove branches and leaves in the air twice, the bamboo strips rustling as they cut through the air. He nodded in satisfaction, then looked around, searching for his target.
Wolfwood and Tiger Leap, along with their group of male orc boys, had just finished their training for the day and were now squatting on the ground, flicking pebbles together.
Lin Baiyan locked onto his target, slung the bamboo strips over his shoulder, and headed towards them.
Monkey's suspicions came true. He sighed slightly and silently lit a candle for the little cubs who were about to be beaten.
Xi Yang was even more confused. She nudged Hou Lin next to her and said, "Did you understand what Bai Yan said? Why were you sighing just now?"
Hou Lin glanced at the rough-around-the-edges male orc beside her and rolled her eyes at him.
These male orcs are just simple-minded!
Little Wolfwood was unaware of the impending danger. After flicking pebbles for a while, he found it uninteresting and jumped up, wanting to have a contest with Wolfwood to pull leaf stalks.
This is a new game they found: two leaf stems are crossed and pulled in different directions. Whoever's leaf stem breaks first loses. The cub that loses three times in a row has to give the winning cub a small sweet potato chip, the kind that's about the thickness of a finger.
The little ones love playing this game; a few leaves and stems are all they need to play with all day.
At this moment, Tiger Leap clamored to challenge Wolfwood. He proudly raised the leaf stalk in his hand, shook his head triumphantly, and said, "This is a super sturdy leaf stalk that I found in the forest. It will definitely beat yours!"
Wolfwood scoffed at the slightly blackened leaf stalk in his hand, then pulled out his treasure, "What's that? Mine's the King of Stalks!"
He has already beaten several of his friends with this leaf stem, and even Hu Yue was defeated by him before!
Tiger Leap was unconvinced, "This time I'm sure I can beat you!"
"Get your sweet potato chips ready, I'm going to take back everything I've lost!"
Hu Yue felt a pang of heartache when he thought about how he had lost to Lang Mu's dried sweet potato.
That was a small handful of dried sweet potatoes that he had worked so hard to get, and in no time he had lost it all, leaving only two strips.
Wolfwood smiled disdainfully, about to utter another harsh remark, when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He shrugged awkwardly and asked Hu Yue in a low voice, "Do you feel anything is wrong?"
Hu Yue was quite thick-skinned, and he shouted back, "Are you afraid of losing to me? Don't you want to compete with me?"
Wolfwood was struck by his words and immediately became angry, its little face turning red with rage. "Fine, let's compete! I'm not afraid of you!"
He couldn't care less about that strange feeling now; all he could think about was fighting Hu Yue to the death.
A bunch of cubs surrounded Wolfwood and Tiger Leap, cheering them on.
"Go, Boss Mu! You're the best!"
"Don't be afraid, Tiger Leap! You'll definitely win this time!"
A group of little cubs looked quite professional, and they did a good job of creating a lively atmosphere.
The cubs were completely focused on this epic showdown, intently watching the leaf stalks in Tiger Leap and Wolfwood's hands, and none of them noticed Lin Baiyan's approaching footsteps.
Lin Baiyan held a bamboo stick in his hand and initially tried to keep his footsteps quiet, but as he got closer and closer, the little cubs didn't react at all.
"come on!"
"Boss Mu is going to win!"
The two leaf stems stretched taut and tightened, and the cubs' emotions rose and fell with the leaf stems until finally a slight snap was heard, and the leaf stem in Tiger Leap's hand broke in two.
When Wolfwood saw that the leaf stem in his hand had broken, he quickly held up his own intact leaf stem and looked at him triumphantly, "I won again, hahahahaha."
He gently straightened his beloved meme, then brought it to his lips and gave it a big kiss. "My meme king is invincible!"
Tiger Leap seemed unable to accept the fact that he had been defeated again. The cub was stunned, staring blankly at the two broken stems in his hand.
Waaaaah, he tried so many different leaves and stems before finding this super powerful one, yet it still couldn't beat the Wolfwood Stem King?
The tiny cub was filled with immense sorrow.
Just then, a sinister voice suddenly came from behind the cubs, "Is pulling leaf stalks fun?"
Wolfwood replied instinctively, "Of course, this is very interesting."
"Have you all finished the homework that the priest brother assigned you today?"
Wolfwood's mouth moved faster than his brain: "No, hey, it's nothing."
"Just fill in any two numbers when the time comes."
His henchmen chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, just fill it out casually."
"The priest is so busy, he definitely won't have time to look."
Wolfwood nodded: "Priest brother is so gentle, it's okay even if we make mistakes."
Wait, why does that voice sound so familiar?
With a hum, the wolfwood froze, its little body stiffening, and its head slowly lifted to meet the priest brother's gaze.
Lin Baiyan stared at Lang Mu's stiff expression with a forced smile, "Just fill it out casually?"
