Chapter 288: The Eagle Shaman's Request

The next morning, after seeing off the Mad Lion Tribe Shaman and Black Wolf Tribe Shaman with their grim faces, Xuehu Wu looked at the Eagle Tribe Shaman beside him who remained calm and composed: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Eagle Shaman: "I have something to tell you."

Xuehu Wu's eyes flashed with a dark gleam: "What matter still can't be said in front of those two?"

Eagle Shaman's gaunt face showed an inscrutable expression: "Let's go inside the cave to talk."

Saying that, he headed straight into the cave.

Behind them, Xuehu Wu and the Snow Tiger Clan Chief exchanged a glance and followed.

The Eagle Tribe Chief, last in line, watched the three ahead, sighed deeply, and didn't know whether the shaman's choice was right or wrong.

Inside Xuehu Wu's cave, it was very tranquil, and the atmosphere inexplicably felt somewhat oppressive.

Xuehu Wu looked at the Eagle Shaman opposite him: "Lao Ying, just say what you need directly—is there something you need our Snow Tiger Tribe to help with?"

Eagle Shaman fell silent for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed, there is something that requires Lao Hu's help."

Saying that, he glanced at the Eagle Tribe Chief behind him: "Go fetch the egg."

The Eagle Tribe Chief opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent and left the cave.

When Xuehu Wu heard about the egg, his expression grew solemn: "An egg? Could it be your eagle egg..."

Although he didn't finish his sentence, the Eagle Shaman opposite him already gave a wry smile and nodded: "All the newly hatched eagle eggs in our tribe have developed problems."

He raised his palm, and a faint black-green shamanic power gradually appeared on his palm: "Since last year, the newly hatched eagle eggs in our tribe have begun to turn into dead eggs one after another."

At first, a few could still survive, but this year not a single newborn chick has survived.

I also thought our eggs had been poisoned with shamanic toxins, but after checking every egg, I found nothing.

He raised his head: "Those Lion and Wolf fellows have too many schemes; I don't trust them, so today I brought ten eagle eggs for you to examine."

Xuehu Wu and the Snow Tiger Clan Chief were utterly shocked.

The Eagle Tribe's eagle eggs failing to hatch chicks means that, if this situation isn't resolved, the Eagle Tribe will soon perish in the Polar Forest.

This is truly a spine-tingling piece of news.

Xuehu Wu could no longer stay seated; he involuntarily thought of his own tribe, turned to the Eagle Tribe Shaman, and asked: "Was everything fine the year before last?"

Eagle Shaman fell silent for a moment, then said: "In previous years there were also deaths, more than usual, but each year there were some chicks that failed to hatch; I hadn't paid attention until last year, when I noticed the anomaly, yet I still couldn't find the cause."

Xuehu Wu frowned, sat down, and fell into silence.

Moments later, a series of footsteps broke the silence in the cave; from outside came the voice of the Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warrior: "Shaman, the Eagle Tribe Beastman Warriors have arrived."

Xuehu Wu's voice returned to its usual indifference: "Let them in."

Ten Eagle Tribe Beastman Warriors each cradled a large bluish-white giant egg and walked in.

Eagle Shaman nodded at them: "You all go out and wait."

Nine Beastman Warriors respectfully turned and withdrew.

Only then did Xuehu Wu rise, approach an eagle egg, his palm emanating a rich azure shamanic power, and slowly envelop the giant egg.
