Chapter 426: Let's Take a Bath Together
After receiving Wu Yue's answer, the healing shaman's grim expression finally eased a bit.
However, the ferocity in his eyes was not concealed at all; after killing the members of their super tribe, did that shamaness and beastfolk think they could escape so easily?
The super tribe's beastman warriors are naturally strong; moreover, now with Yuan Lang leading them, as long as they don't encounter a horde of fierce beasts, they feel quite unstoppable.
Watching the super tribe's beastman warriors carving a path ahead through slaughter, Wu Yue's cold eyes couldn't help but show a hint of sigh.
Indeed, strength is the hard truth.
If she hadn't had the system when she transmigrated, and this time entering the deep forest without the system's help, let alone saving Yuan Lang and the others, she herself would probably kick the bucket.
"Host, you finally discovered that the system is good, right? In the future you must treat the system well; because of your negligence, the system's functions are only partially activated now, it's too weak."
Tongzi, having stolen the host's thoughts, finally couldn't help but jump around to show its presence.
Wu Yue chuckled and fiercely pinched the black snake's tail tip: "If you keep eavesdropping on my thoughts, you'll forever remain a dull, dark-black snake like this."
The system almost exploded from hearing that, of course, if it had fur.
A few days later, at the deep forest entrance, the two tribes' people stood opposite each other.
The atmosphere was not the imagined tit-for-tat confrontation; instead, it carried a hint of harmony.
"Shaman Sir, thank you for bringing us out; the Kuma Tribe will remember your help. If you ever travel, welcome to our Kuma Tribe."
After several days of interaction, the healing shaman, having witnessed more of this Huaxia shaman's miraculous arts, longed even more for the mysterious Huaxia tribe she spoke of.
Wu Yue gave a faint nod: "If the chance arises, I'll go."
Heh, what are you thinking? I barely managed to trick you all into leaving; I won't be returning anytime soon, so farewell for now.
Seeing the super tribe's crowd walk away, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang's group exchanged a glance: "First, let's find our people."
The beastman warriors nodded solemnly; earlier, while resting under the protection of a shield, Wu Yue had already told all the beastman warriors about the super tribe's affairs.
Knowing that their tribe's people had been forced to migrate by these people, leaving the land where they had lived for generations, all the beastman warriors felt heavy-hearted.
"Screech!"
A loud eagle cry rang out above everyone's heads; Wu Yue and the beastman warriors looked up to see several giant eagles circling in the sky.
"Those are the beastman warriors of the Flying Eagle Tribe."
A flash of dark gold light flickered in Yuan Lang's deep eyes as he spoke.
Several Flying Eagle Tribe beastman warriors clearly also saw them and descended in unison.
"Are those the beastman warriors of the Snow Tiger Tribe?"
Several Flying Eagle Tribe beastman warriors were indeed somewhat unwilling to believe; although these beastman warriors before them had the same white hair as the Snow Tiger Tribe's beastman warriors, the animal pelts they wore made them look quite handsome.
Wu Yue stepped forward: "Hasn't your tribe migrated?"
The leading Flying Eagle Tribe beastman's eyes lit up; he clearly recognized her: "Lady Wu Yue, our tribe is also migrating, and it just so happens to be together with the Snow Tiger Tribe."
The shaman knew you were coming to find the tribespeople who went to hunt fierce beasts, so he had us wait here; originally we planned to wait a few more days and leave if we didn't see you.
Wu Yue also couldn't help but sigh in relief: "Thank you, Flying Eagle Shaman; where have the two tribes migrated to now?"
The Flying Eagle Tribe beastman warriors shook their heads: "We only know the general direction; we don't know the exact location, because we fear the super tribe might catch up, so we haven't stopped at all."
Wu Yue nodded: "We'll leave this place first; later I have something I need your help with."
Several Flying Eagle Tribe beastman warriors flew up again to scout the sky, and the group ran toward the Snow Tiger Tribe's direction.
At night, the group found a clearing in the forest and lit a bonfire; the fragrant aroma of grilled meat spread across the clearing.
"We were able to make it back alive from the deep forest this time because we encountered a great tribe's shaman."
"That shaman was very mysterious; he gave us these clothes and even helped us intimidate those people of the super tribe."
"Only later did we learn that this mysterious shaman was actually a great shaman of the super tribe; this time he came out just to travel."
"The shaman sir said, our polar forest is under their tribe's protection, so that super tribe will never come again."
Wu Yue covertly fabricated a tale of a reclusive high shaman to deceive these pure Flying Eagle Tribe beastman warriors.
The Snow Tiger Tribe folks beside them, listening to their own Wu Yue's words about the mysterious super tribe shaman, felt a bit dizzy.
If they hadn't known that this mysterious shaman sir was actually the smiling little female sitting right before them, they would have believed it.
Looking again at the Flying Eagle Tribe beastman warriors who had been duped into exclamations, they all wiped their faces; what could that sudden strange pride in their hearts be?
"If you know the migration direction of other tribes, you'd better hurry up and tell them this news; believing that the super tribe won't come again, nobody wants to leave their homeland."
Upon hearing this, the Flying Eagle Tribe beastman warriors could no longer stay seated; they immediately split into three squads and, under the cover of night, flew off in three directions.
Watching their departing figures, Wu Yue also couldn't help but sigh in relief.
To be honest, since she transmigrated, she has lived all along in the polar forest; leaving her familiar territory for a strange place really makes her unaccustomed.
Moreover, from this super tribe incident, it's clear that territorial competition elsewhere will be even harsher than in the polar forest.
She let out a light breath, turned around, and met the tribe members' piercing gazes.
Wu Yue's face stiffened: "What are you staring at me for?"
The beastfolk gave a dry chuckle twice: "Nothing much, just that we've been in the deep forest too long; seeing a pretty little female makes us a bit excited."
Playing around, we can't exactly tell Wu Yue that we actually admire her just now for that big bluff, can we?
Wu Yue's mouth twitched: "Good grief, you've never been this thirsty even after leaving for longer periods before."
It's been thirteen days of hunting in the deep forest, watching a sow rival Diaochan?
"Pah!"
She's definitely not a sow.
The surrounding deep forest was tranquil; the patrolling beastman warriors' eyes were sharp; on the clearing, everyone lay around the fire, snores rising.
Wu Yue sat before a large tree, eyes closed, meditating.
Once, after deceiving the super tribe in the deep forest, the points she had accumulated were already mostly used up, leaving hardly any.
Back when she was in the tribe, life wasn't as affluent as in China before, but she didn't worry about danger; especially after discovering many foods, she never lacked food.
Thus, situations where she could actually use those points were actually few.
But now, she truly realized the importance of points and strength.
Because her clothing blocked them, those people couldn't see her true shamanic power level, and with the system's boost, her strength appeared infinitely heightened in their eyes.
But she was very self-aware.
She deeply exhaled a turbid breath, slowly opened her eyes, and in an instant took in a pair of dark-gold pupils.
Wu Yue's heart felt as if gripped tightly by a big hand, and her back was drenched in sweat.
But after seeing clearly who was before her, her tense scalp suddenly relaxed: "Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Yuan Lang chuckled lightly, raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat from the little female's forehead: "With such little courage, you dare to come into the deep forest looking for us?"
Wu Yue did not shake off the Beastman's slightly rough big hand, but gave him an annoyed glance: "How dare you say that? Fortunately I went; otherwise whether you could come out alive is still uncertain."
Yuan Lang's deep eyes flickered with a hint of pleased smile, the curve of his lips seeming to hold a mellow vintage, his voice growing lower: "Mm, thank you, Shaman Sir, for your life-saving grace."
The Beastman's low, hoarse voice sounded in her ear, scorching breath stirring the hair by her ear.
Wu Yue felt her earlobes burning, half her body tingling with a strange numbness.
Damn! That dog of a man actually tried to seduce her.
Annoyed, she gave the Beastman beside her a sideways glance: "What's all this flirtation?"
Yuan Lang was taken aback, never expecting the word 'flirtatious' to ever apply to himself.
But after a moment of surprise, he let out a few low chuckles, his scorching chest pressing down, as if enveloping Wu Yue entirely in his embrace.
"Mm, just being flirtatious."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Wu Yue felt the Beastman's scorching lips lightly brush her ear, sending ripples, making her pupils flicker slightly.
"Does the Shaman Sir like it?"
The Beastman's voice grew lower, his scorching breath starting at her ear, burning all the way over her delicate cheek toward her moist lips.
Wu Yue felt her mind a bit muddled, one hand pressing against the Beastman's solid chest; though she wanted to push him away, she could muster no strength, instead seeming to lightly tease.
The Beastman's breath by her cheek stalled, then grew even hotter.
Wu Yue, dazed, felt the Beastman's high nose bridge rub against her, their breaths mingling; she could even see in his eyes an unhidden, blazing heat that would consume everything.
"Pffft!!!"
The alluring atmosphere was shattered by a loud fart; Yuan Lang's handsome face instantly darkened.
Wu Yue was also startled awake by the fart; her previously limp arms, as if after eating spinach, suddenly shoved the Beastman before her away.
She let the forest breeze ease the heat around her body.
Yuan Lang drew up his left leg, as if to conceal something, his firm muscular arm resting across his eyes, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
Wu Yue glanced cautiously, only to see a bead of sweat on the Beastman's cheek roll down his steadfast face over his slender neck, linger a moment, then slip into his collar.
"Gulp!"
Although not very loud, the close distance between them was indeed intimate; Wu Yue, entranced by his looks and swallowing her saliva, felt her cheeks heat up rapidly.
The Beastman's hurried breath hitched, then a low laugh drifted in the night wind.
Wu Yue curled her toes, feeling she could now dig out a tribal settlement.
"The little female is drooling over me..."
"Pffft!!!"
Once was an accident, but the ambiguous atmosphere kept being broken; even the composed Yuan Lang could no longer bear it.
Especially after just having eased a bit, his body's heat had lowered somewhat.
He grabbed a nearby coat, flung it before him, strode in big steps to the fire side, scooped up Teng Qian—who was sticking his butt out and isolated from the Beastman Warriors—and headed toward the river.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"'Fart Expert' Teng Qian's voice was still groggy, apparently unaware that his two loud farts had ruined many of his boss's good moments."
"Nothing, I suddenly wanted to bathe, feeling a bit scared; come with me."
Yuan Lang's voice still sounded a bit muffled, but those who were clearer could hear the gritted teeth within.
But this certainly did not include the still somewhat dazed Teng Qian.
"Plunk!"
A huge splash sounded, and Teng Qian instantly sobered.
"Damn, boss, I haven't even taken off my underpants yet."
The next morning, all the Beastman Warriors noticed their boss's face was dark and his aura heavy.
While eating, the Beastman Warriors gathered in twos and threes, secretly munching on melon seeds.
"Why does the boss look so awful? Could he have been injured while hunting fierce beasts a few days ago?"
"Nonsense, if the boss got hurt he wouldn't be hurt, and he was fine yesterday; surely he just didn't sleep well last night."
"Just not sleeping well, and his face turned this black?"
"Hehe, you guys don't know, but I woke up yesterday with a urgent need to pee and saw a shocking scene."
The Beastman laughed rather lewdly.
The Beastmen instantly caught the scent of gossip, picking at their own meat as they drew near: "What shocking scene?"
Under the gaze of those eager eyes, the Beastman's tiny vanity was instantly satisfied.
"Hehe, when I opened my eyes ready to relieve myself, I saw our boss pressing down on Wu Yue... hehe..."
The Beastmen gripping their roasted meat tightened their grasp: "This is so exciting, why didn't you wake us? Did the boss and the Shaman Lady roll in the beast hides?"
The Beastman let out another lewd laugh: "If they rolled in the hides, could the boss's face look this bad?"
"Oh ho, could it be that the boss was rejected?"
The Beastman Warriors nodded; Wu Yue is so beautiful, it's possible the boss was rejected... maybe...
"Hehe... actually, the atmosphere between the boss and the Shaman Lady was just right, they were about to roll in the hides, but Teng Qian that guy let out a loud fart!"
Hiss~
Beastman Warriors all turned their heads to look at Teng Qian, who was airing his wet little underpants; they silently mourned for him for two seconds, then turned their heads again, using gossipy eyes to stare at the speaking Beastman Warrior: "Anything else?"
"Our boss isn't the type to give up easily; he was just about to pounce again, but Teng Qian let out another loud fart."
Hiss~
Beastman Warriors turned their heads again to look at Teng Qian, and furtively glanced at their own boss.
No wonder the boss's face looks so awful—turns out he was interrupted while rolling beast pelts.
If it were them, the Beastman Warriors couldn't help but put themselves in his place, their faces all darkening, and their looks at Teng Qian carried a hint of killing intent.
Absolutely unforgivable!
