Chapter 374

Thinking about how I will soon obtain the method to build these stone houses, and even be noticed by those super-large tribes, wouldn't I then be able to cultivate to a higher level and enjoy a longer life?

Although I haven't yet obtained the method to build stone houses, the Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk captain has already imagined his beast patterns greatly increasing, envisioning the glorious prospect of becoming the first powerful Beastman Warrior on the Chiyan Pingyuan.

Walking while laughing, he really is a silly fool.

Not far away, Qingcao and Aya were sitting in the courtyard picking wild vegetables when they saw a Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk walking toward the interior of the tribe while foolishly laughing, and their expressions instantly turned strange.

"Aya, that guy couldn't possibly be the lunatic Yue mentioned, could he? He doesn't look normal—what's he doing laughing foolishly by himself over there?"

Qingcao stretched out a finger and poked her little companion.

Aya looked up and saw the Beastman Warrior patting his own puffed chest, his face showing a very satisfied expression.

Her expression instantly turned strange: "He seems to be that, just now he was hitting himself there, and after finishing he still looked very satisfied—he must be a lunatic."

Qingcao hastily threw down the wild vegetables in her hand and stood up, a hint of anxiety on her little face: "Let's go find the patrolling tribespeople now to take this guy away—Yue said lunatics are dangerous."

Aya nodded: "You keep an eye on him here; I'll go find the patrolling Beastman Warriors."

Because the tribe has been holding a trade fair these past few days, and all the visiting tribes sent Beastman Warriors, the Snow Tiger Tribe's patrol squad these past few days has been entirely replaced by Beastman Warriors.

Aya ran out the back door and straight to the place where the patrol squad rested, where there should be Beastman Warriors waiting for rotation.

Sure enough, from afar I could see several Beastman Warriors sitting there grilling meat, eating while chatting about something.

One Beastman Warrior seemed to notice Aya running over, turned his head and said something to his companions behind him, and all the Beastfolk turned to look.

"Aya, what's wrong with you?"

The young female looked quite anxious.

Aya panted as she ran over: "Hurry and take a look—a Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk has come to the tribe, standing there scratching his head and rubbing his chest, just like the lunatic Yue mentioned!"

Lunatic!

The Beastman Warriors' expressions suddenly tightened; they quickly put down their meat and ran toward the place Aya indicated, for this must be brought under control immediately—there are many young cubs in the tribe.

Watching the Beastman Warriors' retreating figures, Aya breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the grilled meat placed on a nearby stone table, picked up a piece, and munched on it as she walked toward Qingcao's home.

"Let go of me, why are you arresting me? I'm a Beastfolk of the Black Wolf Tribe!"

Just as I reached the back door of Qingcao's house, I heard a strange Beastfolk's roar; Aya gave a hehe laugh—surely that lunatic Beastfolk has been caught.

Thinking that, I immediately opened the courtyard gate and ran forward, where I happened to meet an anxious Qingcao.

Seeing Aya, Qingcao obviously relaxed: "You finally came back."

Aya patted her own sturdy 'pecs': "Don't worry, I'm not some little chick like Yue; I'm well-built."

Qingcao looked at her, at a loss for words: "..."

With that bit of fighting strength of yours, it's not even enough for one of Yue's fingers.

The two furtively poked their heads out of the courtyard and saw that the Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk warrior had already been bound by a group of the tribe's Beastman Warriors and was being led outward, with a Beastfolk uncle actually taking the lead.

It seems this Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk's combat ability is still quite formidable; ordinary Beastman Warriors aren't even a match for him.

By the time Wu Yue and the others arrived at the Snow Tiger chieftain's courtyard, the scowling Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk captain had already been released, his gaze at the opposing group of Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warriors extremely unfriendly.

Seeing her enter, Qingcao and Aya hurriedly sneaked over, leaning in to whisper something in her ear; Wu Yue's face twitched as she glanced at the two.

Should she say she succeeded, or that she failed?

I used to teach them a lot, but these two are just awesome—they automatically filter what they receive, taking in only the bad and learning nothing good.

"Because the Snow Tiger Tribe's stone houses differ from ours, I merely wanted to come in and have a look; I never expected your tribespeople to actually seize me."

This Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk appeared as if he had been deeply hurt.

Upon hearing that, Wu Yue's eyes grew deep: "Come see our stone houses?"

Even Tongzi wouldn't believe that statement!

They are living in stone houses now; if they wanted to look, they could just press against the wall and nobody would care, yet they insist on coming into the tribe?

One look at this guy and you know he's harboring some ill intent.

Tongzi's chubby head squeezed out from Wu Yue's satchel, unfriendly scratching at her own dog host's hand: "Dog host, if you're going to curse beasts, curse them—why drag me along?"

Wu Yue lowered her head, glanced at Tongzi's dissatisfied expression on the little furry face, gave a dry cough, then withdrew her gaze—anyway she hadn't heard it.

"Do you need to come into the tribe to see stone houses? Isn't where you live now already a stone house?"

Granny Flower Tree snorted coldly, her gaze toward the Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk full of contempt; this brat is still too young, spouting lies without thinking them through.

Thinking that, she puffed out her chest a little proudly, imagining that when she lied, it would never be detectable—her offspring were far from being a guaranteed deception.

Opposite, Yuan Lang watched his own A Mu's sneaky smile, and his body inexplicably turned cold.

Before the Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk could speak, a familiar soft voice came from outside the courtyard: "Granny, that's not right—how could our stone houses compare to those in the tribe? The Scorpion captain might also just want to come in and have a look at these nicer houses."

The one who arrived was precisely the Shaman of the Salt Rock Tribe, still accompanied by a few Beastman Warriors beside her, her head held high as if it were a rooster crowing at dawn.

Arriving, this old paper under heaven's number one rush foot.

The Snow Tiger chieftain turned his head to look at this Salt Rock Tribe shaman, his expression unchanged.

This shaman is respected in her own tribe, but in the Snow Tiger Tribe she is merely a low-powered shaman disciple.

He immediately stood up: "Since you want to see our tribe's stone houses, just look in my courtyard; as for other families' homes, forget it—otherwise you might get seized again."

Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk captain: "..."

It really hits home—I was just trying to flirt with a few young females, yet you keep grabbing me; it's utterly unfriendly.

Can't I even exert a little of my charming allure?

The Salt Rock Tribe shaman's eyes also flashed with a hint of regret; she furtively glanced at the black-faced Scorpion Tribe Beastfolk captain beside her, her gaze full of disgust.

If she hadn't seen this guy's beast form in battle on the way here, she might have suspected he was a pig beast.

Letting him come to flirt with a young female, he ended up getting caught; now that the Snow Tiger Tribe folks know their purpose is the stone houses, they'll be even more cautious.

He's just grown tall but not wise—he hasn't even seen a female's hair strand, yet he was discovered.

She harbored secret resentment, but the shaman's face wouldn't show it; hearing the Snow Tiger chieftain say that, she even looked quite delighted.

She also gave Wu Yue a regretful glance before saying: "Actually, I've long wanted to see the nice stone houses of the Ghost Tribe, and I even mentioned it to your shaman disciple, but..."

She showed a somewhat disappointed expression on her face: "But she seems not to like me, so she is unwilling to take me; I didn't expect that today I could actually get the chieftain's permission to go in and have a look, that's great."

Wuyue:...

Old Paper's primordial power, oh!

You just look, do you have to also nitpick me?

What's up? A mouse teasing a cat, just looking for a sense of existence!

Can you tolerate this habit of yours?

Wu Yue immediately sneered: "The shaman says this, you're not food, yet you insist everyone likes you?"

Besides, you look at our tribe's Beastman Warriors with lustful eyes; for the chastity of our tribe's Beastman Warriors, can I just let you in so casually?

"Chastity?"

Hearing the fresh words again, the surrounding Beastfolk gazed at Wu Yue with doubtful eyes.

Wu Yue nodded with a solemn gaze: "I just want to have children with you."

All the Beastfolk stepped back, their gazes toward the Salt Rock Tribe shaman also filled with strong vigilance.

What the heck, they all have mates!

When the Salt Rock Tribe shaman heard the word chastity, her face stiffened slightly, then she looked at Yuan Lang beside Wu Yue with a hint of resentment.

Then she said somewhat embarrassedly: "I have so many Beastman Warriors beside me, why are you lustfully looking at our tribe's Beastman Warriors, hehe."

Her goal after coming to the Snow Tiger Tribe is just one, right? This female really deserves to die.

Looking at this guy's false face, Wu Yue also couldn't be bothered to say anything more, and after glancing at her she left with Qingcao and the others.

However, the Rock Salt Tribe female shaman and the Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain could only follow behind the Snow Tiger Clan chief to go visit his house.

Although they felt stifled in their hearts, they had to admit that after this tour, their desire for this kind of stone-house building method grew stronger.

Returning to their dwelling, the Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain again came to the Rock Salt Tribe female shaman's house; looking at the still-smiling female shaman, his mood inexplicably improved a lot.

"You're really too impatient today; no matter how you say it, you're a powerful Beastman Warrior, and your hunting methods are naturally formidable—you should first observe, observe, then confirm a target before acting."

The female's voice was soft and gentle, and her words directly entered the Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain's heart.

The Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain sighed: "It's all because I was too impatient."

He immediately looked at the young female opposite him: "Shamaness, do you have any good ideas?"

After a moment's thought, the Rock Salt Tribe female shaman said: "Could you summon those clansmen who have remained in the Snow Tiger Tribe? I'd like to ask them a few things."

The Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain hesitated a moment, but thinking that the day of departure was drawing near and he still had no solution, he could only reluctantly nod: "Mm, I'll go call them now."

The hot-tempered Beastman and his group lived in the house next to the Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain; it was just a few steps away, taking only a moment, and soon everyone gathered again in the Rock Salt Tribe female shaman's house.

Looking at the smiling young female on the kang, the hot-tempered Beastman gave the Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain a strange look: "What do you want to ask?"

The Rock Salt Tribe female shaman spoke in a soft voice: "Let's sit down first; both our tribes now want to obtain the Snow Tiger Tribe's method of building stone houses, but the Snow Tiger Tribe is very careful, and we haven't found a way."

So we wanted to ask you: while staying here, have the Snow Tiger Tribe people done anything strange?"

The hot-tempered Beastman furrowed his brows, looking distressed.

The Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain beside him looked at him puzzled: "What's wrong? Nothing?"

The hot-tempered Beastman shook his head, his face strange, and said: "Everything the Snow Tiger Tribe does is strange; I don't even know what to say."

Damn, who's ever seen a tribe that could eat both the iron-clamp worms and the sharp-toothed fish?

Before, it was always the iron-clamp worms and sharp-toothed fish eating them; who would have thought the Snow Tiger Tribe would be so badass? Not only did they wipe out those two guys, they even ate them!

The female shaman's face stiffened slightly, but after just a moment she returned to her previous gentle smile: "Then let's talk about what was strange about them before they built their houses."

"Before building their houses?"

The hot-tempered Beastman thought for a moment; his greenish face was full of misery, and even his hidden tail felt a faint ache: "Before building their houses, Wu Yue always had us dig the ground."

"Dig the ground?"

The Rock Salt Tribe female shaman's eyes lit up: "And then?"

The hot-tempered Beastman scratched his head: "And then there was nothing after that."

A pair of big eyes looked at the female shaman on the kang, his gaze utterly bewildered.

"After we finished digging the ground, we were taken away to gather stone materials."

The Rock Salt Tribe female shaman's eyes darkened slightly; this wasn't the first time these beastmen had said they gathered stone materials...

"Do you know where they took the stone materials they gathered back?"

The hot-tempered Beastman's eyes lit up—he knew this: "The Snow Tiger Tribe dug many pits, had us throw the transported stone materials into the pits and bury them, and then they used stone blocks to smash the ground."

Although we don't know what this is for."

Speaking of this…

The two tribes discussed together for a long time; aside from the matter of digging pits and filling them with stones on the ground, they gained nothing, and in the end the Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain still led the hot-tempered Beastman and his group away.

Returning to his own quarters, the Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain was about to rest when he noticed the hot-tempered Beastman hadn't left his room, and he couldn't help but look at him puzzled: "What's up?"

The hot-tempered Beastman patted the dust off his feet, jumped onto the kang, and kicked the beastman beside him: "Go sleep in the next room."

Seeing that they had something to say, the several beastmen nearby got up and left the room of their own accord.

The Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warrior captain looked at him: "You really have something to say?"

The hot-tempered Beastman chuckled, took out a palm-sized piece of 'stone' from his bosom, and said: "Take a look at this first."
