Chapter 255: Unusual Divination

Could it be that she still has to fight a little chubby lump over ore to eat?

This peaceful way of getting along continued until Yuan Lang and the beastman warriors returned to the cave.

After finally getting used to the few strange beasts in her home, even more strange beasts suddenly appeared.

The salt crystal beasts just want to smash the ore—what's going on?

Do you know whose place this is?

You just barged in without permission and even brought your family!

But would anyone care about the opinion of a bunch of soft, cute little guys who aren't even as tall as a beastman's calf?

The beastmen said, instead of wasting time on such brain‑racking questions, they might as well go eat a piece of grilled meat to replenish their strength.

"You mean this cave was originally the home of these salt crystal beasts?"

Yuan Lang lifted his gaze and looked around; at this moment the salt crystal beasts were no longer visible in the cave, having already hidden themselves on the cave walls.

As the sky was already growing dim, and their color matched the salt crystal stones perfectly, even the beastman warriors who thought highly of their eyesight couldn't spot them.

Wu Yue nodded, turned, took a salt crystal stone from her back basket and handed it to Yuan Lang: "This salt crystal stone is something I personally saw peeled off from that salt crystal beast."

It's definitely correct.

Yuan Lang's deep eyes brightened: "So you're saying those salt crystal beasts ingest turbid rock ore, and that's how they form such high‑purity salt crystal stones on their bodies?"

Wu Yue nodded: "That's not certain, after all we haven't actually seen them grow salt crystal stones on their bodies."

Yuan Qi nodded, saying such matters should be handled cautiously: "Let's observe for a few days and then decide."

Wu Yue glanced dubiously at the beastman beside her: "Why do I feel your speech is all prim and proper?"

Yuan Lang's body suddenly stiffened, "Play ball!"

Even speech can be doubted?

He then asked himself: "Prim and proper? What is that, some kind of bug?"

Wu Yue: "..."

Seeing the beastman's puzzled look, Wu Yue's doubts faded considerably.

"Never mind if you don't know, you..."

Before her words even finished, her petite body was instantly drawn into a sturdy, fiery embrace.

"Don't speak."

The beastman's voice was unusually low; the cave that had been lively just moments ago fell silent in an instant, to the point that even the tribespeople's breathing could barely be heard.

Wu Yue's body pressed tightly against the beastman's embrace as she lifted her gaze, looking at him quizzically: "What's wrong?"

Seeing her frown slightly in discomfort, Yuan Lang glanced toward the entrance at the top of the cave.

Wu Yue's heart tightened at the sight; could it be that the Black Wolf Tribe's beastmen have discovered them?

As her suspicion arose, voices began to drift from the cave's upper entrance from time to time.

And one of those voices was unusually familiar to Wu Yue—it was the Black Wolf Shaman!

What is he doing here?

The Black Wolf Shaman stood on high ground, surrounded by many Black Wolf Tribe beastman warriors.

At that moment he held several turtle shells in his hands, which, bolstered by shamanic power, floated in the air, shifting direction from time to time.

Yet his brows were tightly furrowed.

Although the beastman warriors who returned from the last hunt said they had noticed nothing unusual.

But based on the abnormal omen from the previous divination, the Black Wolf Shaman cautiously performed another divination, and the resulting omen was exactly the same as before.

"Shaman, no abnormal situation has been found around here, and the beastmen we sent back also reported that Yuan Qi and the little female have already returned to the Snow Tiger Tribe."
