Chapter 301: The Heart Is Never Satisfied

Wu Yue: "…"

Anyway, no matter what I say now, it's all my fault?

Her round eyes narrowed slightly, staring unblinkingly at the innocent tiger-faced beastman before her…

I don't know why, but the more I look at this guy, the more I feel he's not simple—he's definitely a beast with deep scheming, always liking to feign innocence to manipulate me.

The Snow Tiger Tribe chief beside them gave the two youngsters a look of disdain: "How's the inspection of the parasite worms going?"

Wu Yue withdrew her gaze from Yuan Lang: "These chilies are too few; chief uncle, first have the Beastman Warriors soak some chili water to sprinkle in the places where tribe members often move."

Afterwards she friendly patted Yuan Lang's arm, baring her little teeth in a bright smile: "I and Yuan Lang will gather a few Beastman Warriors to go out and collect more chilies back."

The chief nodded upon hearing: "Good, let's do that."

Having said that, she snatched the Beastfolk bao guo holding chilies from Yuan Lang's hand and left.

He had already tolerated these two for a long time…

He snorted disdainfully, as if to say, "Who doesn't have a partner?"

Meanwhile, Yuan Lang obediently followed behind Wu Yue, respectively dragging Teng Qian and Tengkun back from the riverside and Qingcao's home, and also summoned a few Beastman Warriors who had previously dug salt crystals together.

She picked up the vine bag she had scrounged from Flower Tree Grandma and set off.

But unexpectedly, upon reaching the tribe's entrance, she saw a line of very familiar Beastman Warriors already waiting there.

A middle-aged beastman about the same age as the Eagle Tribe chief, leading the beastman warriors behind him, stepped forward and solemnly nodded to Wu Yue: "We came out this time to help the Snow Tiger Tribe collect chilies, and incidentally get to know this herb that can kill the parasite worms."

As for the Eagle Tribe, which is on very friendly terms with the Snow Tiger Tribe, Wu Yue naturally wouldn't be stingy with sharing a bit of knowledge.

Especially…

These Beastman Warriors being able to appear here must have filed a report with the two shamans.

She also had no right to refuse.

Everyone all the way flew to the place where the females previously gathered wild vegetables; Wu Yue remembered her chilies seemed to have been discovered there.

Meanwhile, in the Snow Tiger shaman's cave, the two shamans collected all the parasite worm corpses from the ground and placed them in a carrying basket.

Looking at the eagle eggs that had turned pale blue again, each of them examined once.

"This time there really are no parasite worms."

The Eagle shaman looked apologetically at Xuehu Wu: "Tiger, I never expected this parasite worm to escape and implicate your Snow Tiger Tribe."

Xuehu Wu shook his head: "Now it's no longer a matter of implication; have you thought about how this parasite worm ended up in the Eagle Tribe?"

The Eagle shaman remained silent for a moment, then finally furrowed his brow and nodded slightly: "I have some guesses, but I can't be certain."

Upon hearing that, Xuehu Wu also thought of a possibility: "You mean? Those people brought it?"

The Eagle shaman sneered: "After that female and beastman finished speaking, I thought of those people, but I can't figure out why they would do this."

Xuehu Wu sneered: "Reason?"

After a snort, he lifted his gaze to the depths of the Polar Forest: "What do you think?"

Following his gaze, the Eagle shaman's expression also sank: "You mean those… ferocious beasts deep in the forest?"

Xuehu Wu nodded: "Each year we hunt once, and the crystal cores we obtain are offered to them some, to clear our salt‑exchange route, but…"

He sighed deeply: "Their hearts are never satisfied; what they want is probably even more."
