Chapter 101 Pills
Knowing that they had other members outside, Lin Baiyan ordered the male beastmen to search carefully during their patrols, but so far they have not found their hiding place.
It's better to keep it under your nose.
At the same time, Lin Baiyan secretly warned himself that he must never act on emotion again. This is the Beast World, a world full of unknown dangers and difficulties.
He could no longer handle things with the same perspective as before, but... the punishment methods of expulsion and annihilation that were so common here were something Lin Baiyan could not agree with.
After the crowd dispersed, Lin Baiyan walked alone to a corner, his mind racing with thoughts.
The methods of punishment here are too rudimentary. As long as someone makes a mistake, no matter how big or small, there are only two ways to punish them: either expel them or kill them.
Stealing and betraying the tribe are the same thing in the eyes of the orcs, which is not a good thing.
After the houses were built and formed a village, they truly became a tribe.
Lin Baiyan did not want to use such a simplistic and crude method to judge all the mistakes.
Although now is not the best time to think about this issue, we should start planning it out gradually.
We can't wait until something unexpected happens before we come up with a solution.
Lin Baiyan frantically racked his brains for the laws he had learned on Blue Star.
China's laws have been passed down for thousands of years, taking the essence and discarding the dross, and have become the ironclad laws we know today, which are still being revised and improved.
Nothing is more valuable as a reference than the laws of his country.
Seeing that Lin Baiyan was alone, Ai Hong mustered her courage and slowly moved to his side. She had also heard some noises, but she didn't dare to go closer.
He cautiously kept his distance from Lin Baiyan, not out of fear, but because most orcs disliked dwarf beasts getting close, finding them dirty.
The short, red-haired girl spoke cautiously, "Priest... Your Highness..."
Hearing the sounds from outside, Lin Baiyan snapped out of his reverie. Seeing the hunched figure beside him, a knowing glint flashed in his eyes. "You want to ask about your work here, right?"
Ai Hong unconsciously rubbed her hands together, and said with a somewhat ingratiating smile, "Yes, I just heard..."
Lin Baiyan nodded. "It's settled. I heard from Ai Shi that you have tribesmen outside. Tomorrow, you will take us to your hiding place and bring them all to the tribe."
A tremendous surprise suddenly burst forth in the short, red, old, and cloudy eyes, and his voice trembled slightly, "Really, really?"
"Of course it's true. There are still a few caves left in the tribe. You and your tribesmen can live there."
Of course, Lin Baiyan also made the punishment for the three of them clear to Ai Hong: "One thing at a time, you still have to accept the punishment for your mistakes."
"And I have a condition: you have to take this." He took out a small green pill from his bag of bark.
Lin Baiyan's face was serious. "This is the True Heart Pill I made. After taking it, you will feel a cool sensation. From now on, if you ever betray the Cangyan Tribe, you will be burned to death."
"This is the sincerity I want from you. So, how about it? Do you dare to eat it?"
He casually rubbed the small pill in his hand, secretly glancing at the short, red, and aged face out of the corner of his eye.
After hearing Lin Baiyan's words, Ai Hong looked at the small pill in his hand and felt a struggle in her heart.
To be honest, he didn't want to be controlled by others, but the current situation of the dwarf beast race was already a mess, and it couldn't get any worse.
Moreover, the priest said that as long as they don't have any thoughts of betrayal, eating it will be as if nothing happened.
Ai Hong gritted her teeth, reached out and took the pill from his hand, then swallowed it all in one gulp.
Sure enough, just as Lin Baiyan said, it felt cool upon entering the mouth, and after swallowing it, the coolness went straight to the heart.
After eating, he looked at Lin Baiyan with a sincere expression, "Priest, the Cangyan Tribe doesn't hold our previous mistakes against us and is even willing to take us in. The short and thin tribe would never bite back."
Ai Hong never doubted that the thing was fake. There were countless priests on the orc continent, and many of them possessed abilities that others did not know about.
Lin Baiyan nodded and clapped his hands lightly. "Okay, I'll trust you this time, but you have to eat all the adult dwarf beasts except for you."
Ai Hong nodded and replied, "No problem."
He ate it all and didn't feel anything else.
After receiving the accurate information, Ai Hong happily bid farewell to Lin Baiyan and ran towards Ai Shi, seemingly wanting to share the good news with them.
Lin Baiyan looked at his somewhat hunched back, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. That wasn't a True Heart Pill at all; how could he possibly make something like that?
It was just a pill made from mint leaves that he found.
This was merely a warning to the dwarf race; if the worst-case scenario truly occurred, he would not hesitate to act ruthlessly.
That night, Lin Baiyan was half asleep and wanted to go to the toilet. As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he was startled by the dark figure in front of him. He almost stepped on it because he wasn't paying attention.
Lin Baiyan quickly took a few steps back, and upon closer inspection, he saw three short beasts squatting expectantly at his door.
The dwarf beast was already small, and the three of them standing there looked like giant potatoes. He almost tripped over them.
He looked at the three short, red ones with a mix of amusement and exasperation, pulled up the shortest one, Cheng, who was closest to him, and patted the cub's head.
Dwarf Cheng looks about the same size as Dwarf Stone; he's a carefree male orc cub.
The little guy seems to have superhuman strength. They say that a cub can do as much work as an adult male orc!
They looked like they hadn't slept all night; Ai Hong and Ai Shi each had two big panda eyes, making them look rather odd.
The short, sleepy one could only stare blankly.
"What are you doing? Going out to hunt wolves in the middle of the night?"
Dwarf Stone didn't understand Lin Baiyan's sarcasm and blinked in confusion. What do you mean, fight wolves? They dwarf beasts can't beat wolves.
"Grandpa Hong said the priest will go with us to pick up the other tribesmen."
He and Ai Hong were so excited they couldn't sleep, so they dragged Ai Cheng along to stake out the entrance of Lin Baiyan Cave.
Lin Baiyan belatedly realized that he seemed to have said yesterday that he would go early this morning, but he didn't say this early.
