Chapter 272: The Chieftain's Unfinished Words

"Wu Yue."

Wu Yue was about to ask Yuan Lang about that dynasty's matter, when a male voice came from outside the house.

The two exchanged a glance, stood up, and walked outside.

Outside stood a half-beast warrior whom both knew well; he was one of the half-beast warriors guarding the shaman.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

Wu Yue said, puzzled.

Yuan Lang merely smiled and nodded; as a beastman warrior, even when facing a half-beast warrior older than himself, he didn't need to call him "uncle".

After the half-beast warrior nodded at Yuan Lang, he then said, "It's just that you two are both here; the shaman sent me to find you two."

After the two reached the shaman's cave, they discovered that inside, besides the shaman and the chieftain, there wasn't a single beast.

At this moment, the shaman's face was very grim, even faintly showing a trace of fatigue.

Seeing them come in, he merely waved his hand lightly and said, "Please have a seat."

"Are you sure the salt crystal can replace salt? Could there be any danger?"

Yuan Lang shook his head: "Shaman, we've been eating salt crystals since we dug the earth caves; if there were really any danger, could we still be sitting here talking with you?"

Wu Yue also nodded: "What Yuan Lang said is right; we ourselves have been eating it for a long time."

Moreover, most importantly, the system detected that this salt crystal is absolutely problem-free.

Tongzi also waved his little fist: "Yes yes, Tongzi's detection is authoritative."

Wu Yue secretly pressed down this self-proclaimed short-statured little Tongzi: "Psst, you're just my sole user, what's with talking about authority or not?"

Tongzi: "..."

"Only you guys are allowed to brag; Tongzi can't?"

The shaman's expression turned even uglier upon hearing that: "It's not a salt problem; it's a beastfolk problem. The Black Wolf shaman's divination you probably already know about."

At the place where you discovered salt, he divined the source of the disaster, but what that source is, the Beast God has never made clear.

Now it seems everything is aimed at the salt.

The chieftain beside them nodded and said: "So we must tightly guard the secret of the salt crystal, not let other tribes know, especially..."

Especially what, but in the end he still didn't say it out.

The shaman looked at Yuan Lang: "Now the digging work is your and Yuan Qi's responsibility; go back and tell the beastman warriors digging and transporting the salt that this concerns the survival of our Snow Tiger Tribe; even your own partners must not be told."

Yuan Lang nodded: "Okay."

After merely giving a few simple reminders, the shaman and chieftain let them leave.

But the two were left with a doubt in their hearts.

Wu Yue looked at Yuan Lang: "The sentence the chieftain didn't finish just now must be a very important piece of information."

Yuan Lang looked toward the distant forest: "All we can do is strengthen ourselves; the rest we leave to time."

The beastfolk's words instantly got Tongzi's strong agreement: "Yes yes, host, since you went to the Black Wolf Tribe, your cultivation has been not proactive, which is not good."

Later you'll be pressed to the ground and rubbed by others.

Regarding cultivation, Wu Yue did not rebut Tongzi's criticism of her; indeed, her cultivation has been somewhat lax during this period.

She then thought to herself: "Don't worry, starting today I'll use meditation instead of sleep."

The system hopped about on its little short legs, wiping a crocodile tear for its host's clear cognition.
