Chapter 220: Out of the Earth Cave

Beastfolk strength isn't just for show; living up to being warriors who can sprint while carrying several hundred pounds of game, Wu Yue felt like a little chick, light as a feather, and Yuan Lang easily lifted her up.

Teng Kun came up second; as the older brother, Teng Qian chose to stay at the bottom out of self-sacrifice.

The moment his fuzzy head popped out of the hole, Teng Qian felt his whole body come alive.

Aow aow aow—he let out several loud roars, his voice full of exhilaration.

As his roar faded, a familiar howl came from the distant forest.

"It's Uncle Yuan Qi."

Teng Qian shouted upon hearing it.

They exchanged glances, and Yuan Lang looked at the group: "Later we'll say we rescued Yue, but we ran into a ferocious beast not far off and only just returned today—understand?"

Wu Yue and Teng Qian nodded obediently: "Understood."

"We'll talk about the salt crystals when we return to the tribe; later we still need to go to the border between our Snow Tiger Tribe and the Black Wolf Tribe's territory, because treating the Black Wolf Tribe's beastfolk requires a herb that grows there."

After speaking, her brow involuntarily furrowed: "The herbs we prepared only last three days; we might not have enough time, hopefully nothing goes wrong."

Yuan Lang turned to Wu Yue beside him upon hearing that: "Are their injuries serious?"

Wu Yue nodded: "The wounds are swollen, festering, and oozing pus; when we were there, the Black Wolf Tribe had already abandoned them."

The beastfolk's deep black eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean the Black Wolf Tribe actually assigned the wounded beastfolk they'd abandoned to you?"

His expression looked unpleasant; this was clearly bullying the little female.

Wu Yue chuckled, showing no resentment in her brows and eyes: "Maybe it's because I'm not a shaman disciple."

That was indeed the case.

They didn't wait long; just a few sentences later, a rustling sound came from the surrounding forest, accompanied by the familiar howls of the Snow Tiger beastfolk.

Upon seeing Wu Yue, Yuan Qi and the Wolf Fang beasts almost burst into tears of bitterness.

He shoved Yuan Lang aside, who was standing beside Wu Yue, and looked anxiously at the little female: "Yue, what happened yesterday? Where did you go? We searched the whole forest around us and couldn't find your scent."

Wu Yue hehe-laughed and pointed at Yuan Lang beside her: "Uncle, that wolf king had me pinned down, and it was Yuan Lang and them who rescued me."

After speaking, she frowned ruefully: "I had planned to wait for you in a safe place not far away, but I didn't expect to run into a ferocious beast, so we could only flee."

"I thought you'd still be looking for me where we were, so today I followed the direction back."

"Father, can't you see me?"

Yuan Lang's mouth twitched as he looked at the annoying old beastfolk occupying the spot beside his little female.

Only then did Yuan Qi let out a long "oh" as if he'd just seen him: "You're here too."

And then there was nothing after that.

Wu Yue looked at Yuan Qi: "Uncle, I already told Yuan Lang and them about our mission earlier; let's set off directly later—the half-beasts in the Black Wolf Tribe can't be delayed."

Upon hearing that, the Wolf Fang and several Black Wolf Tribe beastfolk warriors' eyes filled with emotion.

Yuan Qi smiled: "You don't need to worry about the herbs; I had the beastfolk go gather them yesterday."

"They won't need to rest along the way; they should arrive by evening."

Wu Yue let out a full breath: "That's good."
