Chapter 406: with translation of chapter title

Ever since she last rescued Uncle Dashi and Shilin, the whole family has been warmly grateful whenever they see her, and they won't listen to anything she says.

Uncle Dashi laughed as he wiped the wooden stump in the courtyard, saying, "Sit down quickly, I'll go get you some fruit to eat."

No sooner had his words finished than he went into the kitchen without waiting for Wu Yue to refuse.

Soon he brought out two bright red fruits, still wet with water, clearly having been washed.

Wu Yue took them with a faint smile, saying, "I'm just here to mooch off your food and drink, Uncle."

Hearing this, Uncle Dashi burst out laughing, "I really couldn't be happier that you came."

Having said that, he turned to Wu Yue and asked, "You just said you needed Shilin's help with something, right?"

He thumped his own chest: "If you need help, come to me—don't look down on young Shilin; his strength isn't as great as mine, I'm a Beastman Warrior."

Besides, that brat has a hunting mission these days; if you wait for him, you won't know when he'll be free.

Wu Yue broke into a sweat: "..."

Is it really okay for you, old man, to despise your own brat like this?

But Uncle Dashi is also right—the claws of a Beastman Warrior are indeed much sharper than those of a Half-Beast Warrior.

She took out a piece of animal hide from her satchel, on which something was drawn in lines.

"This is what I need, because I want to carve it into stone, and I myself don't have the strength for it, so I wanted to ask Shilin for help."

Uncle Dashi let out a sigh, his expression saying "Leave it to me, Uncle," and said, "I can handle this small matter."

Having said that, he took the drawing from Wu Yue's hands and examined it.

The longer he looked, the tighter his brow furrowed: "What are these two round stones for? And these sticks?"

"These are exactly what I need, because I'll need them to make things later."

Shilin Uncle slapped his chest: "Leave it to me, I have free time this afternoon; I'll first go outside to pick out some good stones and bring them back."

"Do you need them harder?"

Wu Yue nodded: "Of course, but we have to make sure your claws can dig them out."

"Don't worry, Yue, there really isn't any stone in this forest that I can't dig out."

Uncle Dashi said full of confidence.

Wu Yue smiled and nodded: "Then please trouble yourself; when it's done, call me and I'll send someone to pick it up."

Seeing Wu Yue so polite, Uncle Dashi laughed heartily and waved his hand: "No need to send anyone; I'll just deliver it directly to you when it's ready, and I can also see what this thing is used for—this is the first time I've seen something like it."

Uncle Dashi delivering it directly made Wu Yue naturally happy: "Then please trouble yourself; when it's done, I'll prepare some tasty food for you."

When these two stone blocks are assembled, they make a fine thing that can be used to prepare many delicious foods.

Hearing Wu Yue say that, Uncle Dashi was naturally pleased, after all the food she makes tastes good, something everyone in the tribe knows.

He and Shilin, the two males, at home do nothing but roast meat; if they want to eat something tasty, they have to find slaves or other tribespeople to help.

These two rough fellows also find it a hassle, only occasionally, when they have free time, going out to grab a bite.

Uncle Dashi narrowed his eyes, secretly deciding that once these two stones were finished, he would deliver them while Shilin brat was out hunting or on patrol.

That brat may be small, but his appetite is truly big; he resolutely decided to go eat by himself.

He clenched his claws, and thus the decision was made happily.

After leaving the animal hide with the drawn pattern behind, Wu Yue turned and went back.

But unexpectedly, while on the way, she heard someone calling her from behind.

Looking back, she saw a Half-Beast Warrior running toward her from beside the shaman.

"Yue, hurry and come with me to the shaman's place; there's something very important."

The Half-Beast Warrior's face was grave, with unease in his eyes; Shaman Yue's heart sank, and she quickly turned and followed the Half-Beast Warrior toward the shaman.

"What happened?"

The Half-Beast Warrior pursed his lips: "Just now, a Beastman Warrior from the Flying Eagle Tribe came over."

"The Flying Eagle Tribe?"

Shaman Yue's heart skipped a beat; the Flying Eagle Tribe has always played the role of patrollers in the Polar Forest.

If each tribe has its own patrol squad, then the Flying Eagle Tribe is the patrol squad for the entire Polar Forest.

In the Polar Forest, whenever something major happens, the Flying Eagle Tribe is always the first to know; they are akin to border guards.

The Half-Beast Warrior continued: "They also brought along those Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warriors we captured last time, and these Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warriors truly have very important news to tell you."

"The leader of those Beastmen said he would only speak if he saw you; otherwise he wouldn't say anything."

Wu Yue frowned: "The leader of the Beastmen?"

An image of a Beastman suddenly popped into her mind: "Is it that hot-tempered Beastman?"

The Half-Beast Warrior nodded: "Exactly him."

That's the Scorpion Tribe Beastmen who kidnapped her last time.

As they talked, they arrived outside the shaman's courtyard, where at that moment some Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warriors and Flying Eagle Tribe Beastman Warriors were standing.

Seeing Wu Yue approach, everyone greeted her respectfully: "Shaman Yue."

Wu Yue greeted everyone with a light smile, then followed the Half-Beast Warrior into the house.

In the main hall, Xuehu Wu and the Flying Eagle Shaman sat in the highest seats, while in the middle stood those Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warriors and some Snow Tiger Tribe and Flying Eagle Tribe Beastman Warriors.

"Shaman, I've come."

Upon hearing that voice, which always made his hairs stand on end, the hot-tempered Beastman's nervous little heart instantly felt a pang of grievance, and his eye sockets reddened in an instant.

He pouted, feeling utterly wronged.

It had been a while since they'd seen this terrifying little female; several Scorpion Tribe Beastmen turned their heads in unison, but upon seeing that shadow behind them, they all popped their eyes out.

The hot-tempered Beastman felt his jaw loosening: "You... you are Shaman Yue..."

Perhaps due to being too startled, his voice cracked a bit.

Wu Yue naturally knows why these guys are surprised; she raises her brows and looks over: "How long has it been? After not dealing with you for a while, you've forgotten me."

Hearing that familiar tone, the hot-tempered beastman warriors felt inexplicably relieved.

Right, that's exactly that terrifying little female; although she's turned out pretty, her vicious little nature still exists.

Seeing their expression that says "Sure enough, this ferocity suits you," Wu Yue felt her mouth twitch badly, so she said these Scorpion Tribe beastman warriors are just masochistic types, huh!

The two shamans seated above and the beastman warriors from the two surrounding tribes also looked at these Scorpion Tribe beastman warriors with a somewhat unusual gaze.

No wonder they had to see Wu Yue to say that; they must have gotten addicted to being abused by her.

I heard these guys, when they were in the Snow Tiger Tribe, weren't rarely dealt with by this Wu Yue.

As a result, the person who abused you the most became the one you trust the most—what kind of weird mentality is this?

The beasts all expressed that they couldn't understand.

Wu Yue smiled and looked at the few Scorpion Tribe beastman warriors: "Long time no see; I didn't expect we could meet again."

The hot-tempered beastman gave a dry laugh: "Indeed unexpected, but we really have an important matter to come find you this time."

As he spoke, his expression grew very solemn; thinking that the selection would end in a few days, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

"Do you guys have heard of the Super Tribe?"

Wu Yue blinked, "Super Tribe?"

She turned her head toward the two shamans above, only to see their faces instantly darken.

So, the two shamans know about it?

"Shaman, what is the Super Tribe?"

She really hasn't heard of it; likely many tribe members haven't either.

Xuehu Wu looked down at the Scorpion Tribe beastman warriors: "What's up with the Super Tribe?"

The Scorpion Tribe acquaintance, seeing he knew, continued: "Not long ago, the Super Tribe came to our Chiyan Pingyuan to select beastman warriors and shamans.

But the envoy sir leading the team got involved with the Rock Salt Tribe's priestess, always favoring the Rock Salt Tribe during the selection, so many strong beastman warriors from our tribe weren't selected..."

Xuehu Wu impatiently cut him off: "I'm asking what relation the Super Tribe has with our Polar Forest."

The Scorpion Tribe beastman's remaining long complaint got stuck in his chest, making him furious, but he didn't dare say it.

He could only take two deep breaths then continue: "The Snow Tiger Tribe and Rock Salt Tribe weren't on good terms before, and I heard the Rock Salt Tribe's priestess had her legs broken by a Snow Tiger Tribe beastman warrior and can't speak.

In the end, it was the Rock Salt shaman who requested the Super Tribe's shaman sir to heal her.

That Rock Salt Tribe priestess bore a grudge against the Snow Tiger Tribe and told the Super Tribe that the Polar Forest has crystal cores that can safely raise beastman ranks.

The Super Tribe's shaman sir and envoy sir are both very interested, planning to come to the Polar Forest after the selection ends.

That last sentence successfully made everyone in the room hold their breath.

Wu Yue gave the hot-tempered beastman a strange look: "So you came here for Gaomi?"

Hearing her say that, the hot-tempered beastman's handsome face flushed red, somewhat annoyed and angry as he said: "Most of this selection's participants are Rock Salt Tribe beastman warriors.

When the Super Tribe bestows a higher-level cultivation method, their strength will surely surpass ours, so our Scorpion Tribe will definitely be surpassed.

Crystal cores are already scarce; if the Super Tribe gets involved, our Scorpion Tribe might not even have bones left to gnaw.

Although the hot-tempered beastman looks bad-tempered, Wu Yue can't bring herself to dislike him, especially since this guy actually thought to come inform her—truly beyond her expectations.

"How many people did the Super Tribe's envoy team bring this time?"

Xuehu Wu's voice showed no change; those who know him could hear a hint of solemnity in his tone.

Wu Yue's heart also rose involuntarily.

"Four shaman sirs came; the team's envoy sir is a young gold-rank beastman warrior, but the entire team consists of gold-rank beastman warriors of even higher rank—several dozen of them."

The hot-tempered beastman frowned, thinking for a long time, but couldn't recall the exact number, so he just gave a rough estimate.

Even so, it changed the faces of all the beastman warriors in the room.

Xuehu Wu looked at him: "Did your shaman order you to come this time?"

The hot-tempered beastman hesitated a while before saying: "We came on our own."

Seeing the surrounding beastmen look at him skeptically, the hot-tempered beastman's petty temper flared: "The Super Tribe's envoy and the Rock Salt Tribe have teamed up to bully our Scorpion Tribe, definitely not wishing us well, and they won't let us get any crystal cores."

Wu Yue glanced at him unexpectedly, not seeing it coming; this bunch easily tempted by food actually has some careful thoughts.

"Anything else?"

The hot-tempered beastman frowned, thought for a long time, then shook his head: "No more."

Xuehu Wu waved his hand: "Take them down to rest."

"Wait."

Wu Yue smiled, looking at the beastman warriors standing there, her small hand reaching into her satchel.

The few Scorpion Tribe beastman warriors, seeing her move, instantly turned green in the face; this action is all too familiar.

The hot-tempered beastman's eyes widened: "No way, Wu Yue sir, we came with good intentions to Gaomi; you could at least not ask us to eat something tasty, but now you want to poison us?"

"Can't you be a decent person?"

Wu Yue hehe laughed, taking out a small bamboo jar and shaking it: "Don't worry, this is something good."

She poured some powder onto the lid, her practiced motion like sprinkling salt on roasted suckling pig, then scattered the powder over the hot-tempered beastman and his companions.

"You're beastman warriors after all; walking around the tribe like this is too dangerous, so I gave you medicine powder—you can't use beast god power, and your combat strength is only a fraction of what it used to be.

"That way, we don't need to tie you up with vines—doesn't that feel nice?"

The few Scorpion Tribe veterans listening actually inexplicably found it reasonable, and they all nodded: "Yeah."

The hot-tempered beastman looked at the idiots beside him, face full of exasperation, gritted his teeth and looked at Wu Yue: "What does 'just a little bit left' mean?"

Wu Yue rubbed her chin, thought a moment, then said: "It means you can't even beat a female."

Hot-tempered beastman: "..."

"Are you polite?"

Scorpion Beastman Warriors: "..."

Are you polite?

The Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warrior standing behind several people, upon hearing this, raised the corner of their eyebrow, hehe, laughing, very enthusiastically came over to say the vines on the bodies of several Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warriors came undone.

"Ah, I didn't expect you to actually come help us; indeed, we haven't wasted eating our Snow Tiger Tribe's food for so long."

Watching these Snow Tiger Beastman Warriors change expressions in an instant, the Scorpion Tribe beastfolk only felt they had something to say, not knowing whether to speak it or not.

Go, go, go, brothers, you've come all this way; I'll take you out to eat some good food.

A Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warrior stepped forward, embraced the ferocious beastman's neck, and walked out.

Let me tell you, our tribe recently has a lot of tasty food again; you've come all this way; the dumpling soup and noodles will be enough.

Will be enough!!!

The remaining Scorpion Tribe Beastman Warriors, upon hearing this, kept swallowing, glanced at Wu Yue and the two shamans in the upper seat, then all stood up: "Um, we're leaving too."

Will be enough, eh; if not eaten now, when else to wait?
