SFS Chapter 92 Secret
Chapter 92 Secret
Lang Cang noticed Lin Baiyan's expression and simply made the choice for him, "Then kill them all."
They weren't blindfolded when they were brought in.
They saw everything in the tribe, not to mention the several pottery pots and jars in the large cave.
Their tribe is not strong now. If they can't keep the secret after releasing these dwarf beasts, it will bring annihilation to the Azure Flame tribe.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
Upon hearing Lang Cang's words and seeing the murderous intent flashing in his eyes, the hope in the older of the short, red-eyed beasts was instantly extinguished, and his face turned ashen.
The fear in the eyes of the two younger dwarfs grew stronger.
Lin Baiyan understood this principle, but...
He knew he might be being a bit too compassionate, but looking at these emaciated dwarf beasts, he still couldn't bring himself to make the ruthless decision.
The two younger ones don't look like they're even adults.
Finally, Lin Baiyan carefully considered his words and said, "Let's keep it for now and keep it under guard."
"We can't let them go anyway. There's a lot to do in the tribe right now, so let them help with some odd jobs first."
Seeing Lin Baiyan's hesitant expression, Lang Cang knew what he was thinking.
He said in a deep voice, "Then let them follow the male beastmen to dig the soil."
The tribe is busy making pottery right now, and there aren't enough people to go check on them. Going to dig soil would be good, as it would serve as labor.
Lin Baiyan immediately nodded, "Then let's do it your way."
Hearing Lin Baiyan say this, Ai Hong's tense body instantly deflated. No matter what they were asked to do, as long as they could live, that was all that mattered.
Anyway, the dwarf beastmen have no beast rights wherever they go...
I'll just try to survive one more day.
At this moment, a trace of despair for the future flashed in Ai Hong's eyes. He knew that they would die sooner or later, just like those of his people who had already returned to the embrace of the Beast God.
However… he turned his gaze to the two cubs beside him. He himself was fine, as he was already quite old, but these cubs were still young, and he wanted to leave a chance for his people to survive.
And what about those cubs... they've been captured by these beastmen, what will happen to the rest of the tribe in the cave?
Lin Baiyan was naturally unaware of Ai Hong's thoughts.
After the crowd dispersed, he and Lang Cang walked back to their cave. When they arrived at their cave, Lin Baiyan relaxed, but looked a little awkward. "Did I cause trouble for the tribe?"
The problem, which could have been solved by simply killing them, seems to have become more complicated because of his saintly heart.
However, having grown up in an era of strict rule of law, he found it very difficult to adapt to the punishment of killing people at the drop of a hat.
Lin Baiyan felt somewhat ashamed, "I just couldn't bear it..."
"Where we live...the punishment for stealing isn't this severe..."
He inadvertently whispered his thoughts aloud.
Wolf Cang, with his sharp ears, heard what he said instantly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
Lin Baiyan immediately realized what he had just said, and he hurriedly covered his mouth.
He must be confused. Was he stunned by what Lang Cang said? He dares to blurt out anything.
Lin Baiyan originally thought that Lang Cang would follow up with his question and ask him, "Where is your place?"
But he didn't.
Lang Cang paused for a moment, then looked into his eyes and said, "I know..."
Lin Baiyan's expression changed instantly, thinking that he had noticed something.
Seeing the instinctive wariness in his eyes, Lang Cang didn't know how to soothe him, so he could only say, "I know you have your own secrets, it's okay."
He tentatively stepped forward and placed his hand on Lin Baiyan's arm, feeling his body tense up instinctively.
He patted him gently and coaxed him earnestly, "I won't ask you. I also have secrets I can't tell you. Let's call it even, okay?"
Lin Baiyan looked up and saw Lang Cang's sincere eyes, without a trace of hypocrisy. He said softly, "Aren't you curious?"
Wicker baskets, salt making, charcoal, pottery, roasted meat... He knows so much, yet he's still an immature child. The combination of these things is very suspicious.
Lang Cang nodded honestly, "Of course I'm curious, but I know you don't mean any harm."
“If you were a selfish orc, you wouldn’t stay here. With the knowledge you have, you would be respected in any tribe.”
"You can choose not to say anything to protect yourself, but you should still tell us this knowledge."
Lang Cang's deep voice was full of reassuring words, "I know you truly consider this place your home."
"You are kind, brave, tolerant, generous, and knowledgeable. No matter where you came from before, you are now the greatest priest in the Azure Flame Tribe."
"Without you, there would be no Azure Flame Tribe today."
Therefore, I am willing to stay for someone like you.
At this moment, Lang Cang finally relented to his conscience. Perhaps at first he had hoped to help these orcs and leave once they were able to survive.
He was actually somewhat pessimistic. The Star Wolf tribe had disappeared, he had no home, and he could never go back to that grassland.
But Lin Baiyan appeared. In fact, Lang Cang had already made his choice long before he understood his own heart.
These wandering beastmen have the tenacity of wild grass, and can establish a new tribe in just a few months. Does that mean they have found a place to belong again?
Such a kind Lin Baiyan and these simple and honest beastmen filled Lang Cang with hope once again.
Perhaps after he finds his lost clansmen, he can bring them back here, back to Lin Baiyan's side.
Lin Baiyan looked at Lang Cang's eyes with some confusion. Who? Was Lang Cang talking about him?
Lang Cang looked down at the young man's somewhat bewildered eyes, and boldly grasped his hand. "No matter where you came from before, after I met you, you are just Bai Yan, a priest of the Cang Yan tribe."
Lin Baiyan's heart finally settled down after Lang Cang's repeated sincere affirmations.
Perhaps because Lang Cang's words of comfort had taken effect, looking at the person in front of him with such sincerity, Lin Baiyan suddenly had the courage to speak.
"I…"
He made up his mind, organized his thoughts, and said, "I am indeed not from here."
As Lin Baiyan spoke, he was still nervously observing Lang Cang's expression, like a little snail, as if he would immediately retreat into his shell if Lang Cang showed any abnormality.
Lang Cang's expression remained unchanged as he said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. I'm not really interested in knowing anyway."
Lin Baiyan shook his head. These things were a burden on his mind. He had come to the dangerous and unknown world of the Beastman Continent all alone.
