Chapter 447: Miraculous

The beastman whose heart was trembling turned around wanting to share his joy with the little female beside him, but when he turned his head, the little female was already gone.

He turned to look, only to see her covering her nose and standing far away, giving a disgusted look at the cured ferocious beast meat, and he felt amused.

He stepped toward her and said, "Can't you stand this smell?"

Wu Yue nodded slightly: "The smell is a bit too strong."

Yuan Lang grasped her soft little hand, his eyes full of smiles: "These ferocious beast meats, after being cured, have had their energy preserved to the greatest extent; later, when going out to hunt or fight, eating some of them is very helpful for replenishing internal energy."

Seeing the little female's face full of disgust beside him, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Of course, this energy is for beastfolk; ordinary tribespeople can also eat a little, but eating too much would be unbearable for the body."

The little female's wrinkled little face was indeed somewhat amusing; if she didn't want to eat, naturally no one would force her.

Of course, except when food is scarce.

Upon hearing Yuan Lang say that, Wu Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief; no matter how good that ferocious beast meat is, its smell is not something ordinary people can tolerate.

"Wasn't it said that after winter we would leave the tribe to travel? Then we could go hunt once more in the deep forest and bring some cured ferocious beast meat over."

"When traveling outside, battle is unavoidable."

Speaking of battle, the beastman's gaze deepened somewhat; with nothing to do in winter, it's time to pick up the old training methods.

"I don't know how the Kuma Tribe and the Huo Teng Tribe are doing now; the Kuma Tribe earlier had bad intentions, but later they were also subdued; the Huo Teng Tribe, although having no major conflicts, is ultimately a supertribe outside the forest, with goals similar to those of the Kuma Tribe."

"If we go out without any particular purpose, we could instead go find those two tribes; you all level up first, then we'll talk."

Yuan Lang frowned, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "If we could find other supertribes, that would naturally be best; these two tribes know of our relationship with the Huaxia Tribe, and if we level up in those two tribes, they might suspect that the Huaxia Tribe's Grand Shaman truly exists."

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang never expected that the two tribes they had been mentioning would actually meet in a forest.

Merely, the Kuma Tribe hiding in the dark discovered the Huo Teng Tribe's people, but the Huo Teng Tribe did not discover the Kuma Tribe.

"I already said someone was following us, right? Sure enough, those annoying Huo Teng Tribe folks, looking at the young shaman's Beastfolk bao guo, might also be a Crystal Core."

The speaker was precisely the Gu Shaman of the Kuma Tribe.

"If it weren't for the gu insects I placed in the Polar Forest being triggered, there would be no way to discover these folks."

The Healing Shaman's face darkened: "We must not let them return to the tribe; the matter of the crystal core in the Polar Forest had best be known only to us."

With the crystal core, their tribe could silently grow strong.

The two of them gave a deep look at the distant Huo Teng Tribe's people, then quietly retreated.

Meanwhile, in the forest not far from them, the other members of the Kuma Tribe were quietly hiding; upon seeing the two Shamans Sir return, they cautiously gathered around.

The Healing Shaman glanced over everyone: "It's the Huo Teng Tribe; these folks might have followed us to the Polar Forest and even obtained the crystal core."

Upon hearing the name of the Huo Teng Tribe, the tribespeople's faces turned grim.

The Kuma Tribe and the Huo Teng Tribe have friction over territory and many other matters; their relationship can be said to be very bad.

Whenever they encounter each other's tribe members outside, they will surely seize every opportunity to kill the other, showing no mercy.

"Now the shameless Huo Teng Tribe folks are secretly selecting fresh blood in places that don't offer shelter, actually sneakingly following them; who knows what nasty scheme they're brewing."

Kill them!

The Beastman Warriors' eyes were fierce.

The Envoy Beastman, unusually calm, said: "Shaman Sir, does the Huo Teng Tribe have only one shaman?"

The Healing Shaman sneered: "Only a young shaman; the Beastman Warriors aren't as numerous as ours, but they carry that kind of mushroom, which is troublesome."

The Huo Teng Tribe's Grand Shaman is a Poison Shaman, so they have extensive research on poisonous plants.

When that Grand Shaman was young and went traveling, he somehow brought back a mushroom that not only aids in cultivating shamanic power but can also be used as a poison.

Therefore, the Huo Teng Tribe's shamans are much better than those of the Kuma Tribe, and even one shaman has a good chance of breaking through to become a Grand Shaman, which makes the Kuma Tribe even more envious.

"Those shameless Huo Teng Tribe folks only know how to scheme with mushrooms; if they have the ability, let them fight one-on-one."

A Beastman Warrior spat out hatefully, his eyes toward the Huo Teng Tribe direction turning scarlet.

The Healing Shaman glanced at him indifferently, then said: "Their combat strength definitely cannot compare to ours, so..."

He turned his head to the Envoy Beastman: "You go create a beast tide; it doesn't need to be large, as long as you can deal with those mushrooms, the remaining Huo Teng Tribe little folks will be easy to handle."

The Envoy Beastman raised the corner of his brow, curled his lips into a smirk, and took half of the Beastman Warriors away.

The remaining four shamans and Beastman Warriors climbed up several large trees, gazing into the distance, awaiting the upcoming battle.

The aura of the High-rank Beastman is practically a nightmare for ordinary wild beasts; after sensing the Envoy Beastman's presence, the forest's wild beasts were intentionally driven to run toward where the Huo Teng Tribe had been.

Numerous beasts trampled the ground, emitting earth-shaking sounds, causing the ground to tremble.

Such a commotion was naturally heard by the Huo Teng Tribe members chewing fruit; the Sturdy Beastman Warrior stood up, looked into the distance, and the creases between his brows deepened further.

Suddenly, his expression changed, he tucked the little female still gnawing mushrooms under his arm, and bolted: "Run, it's a beast tide!"

Hearing that, the surrounding Beastman Warriors dropped the fruit in their hands and began to sprint wildly behind the Sturdy Beastman.

"Captain, food is still plentiful; how could there be a beast tide?"

The Beastman Warriors fled at breakneck speed while glancing at their own captain, utterly perplexed.

The Sturdy Beastman said nothing; he had a bad premonition, his companion was right—now is not the time for a beast tide...

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, his face instantly darkened: "We might have been discovered by those Kuma Tribe folks."

Although his voice was low, everyone around heard it, and each felt a bit heavier in heart.

Because they wanted to return to the tribe before winter arrived, they chose to pass through this forest to go back; however, it's dangerous, for this forest is exactly the border between their tribe and the Kuma Tribe, where the two tribes' conflicts often occur.

But at this time, everyone is preparing winter food in the tribe, so naturally there's no extra time to come out and fight; even if they wanted to seek rescue from tribespeople, it would be difficult.

"That bunch of idiots surely wants to get rid of our mushrooms and then kill us."

The little female shaman muttered curses under her breath; seeing that they were about to reach the tribe, if they were taken out, it would truly be unbearable.

"Captain, you take the shaman and go first; we few will stay behind to lure away those Kuma Tribe folks."

One Beastman Warrior's eyes were scarlet, occasionally looking back at the relentlessly approaching beast tide.

The Sturdy Beastman's face twitched as his muscles spasmed: "We've already been targeted; even if we split up and run, it's useless—the Kuma Tribe's Beastman Warriors outnumber us, so splitting up won't help."

At this moment, behind the beast tide, the Envoy Beastman leading the Beastman Warriors closely followed behind, gazing ahead at the faintly visible silhouettes of the Huo Teng Tribe Beastman Warriors, his eyes sharp.

Really seeking death, with just this few people you dare to scheme against them; this time I'll make sure you never return.

Thinking this, the look grew ever more sinister.

The aura on his person also grew increasingly heavy; the beasts ahead seemed to be whipped, howling as they sped up.

And when passing through the resting place of the Huoteng Tribe before, instantly patches of beasts collapsed to the ground without any warning, only their bellies still rising and falling slightly.

The Envoy Beastman's heart tightened; the shaman's guess was correct—these fellows had indeed placed those strange mushrooms in the resting area; if they had come straight here, those now lying on the ground would probably be them.

Even so, three Beastman Warriors fell; one Beastman Warrior was left to send the three back to the shaman, while the Envoy Beastman Warrior led the remaining Beastfolk onward.

Upon reaching the open area, the driven beasts scattered instantly, gradually disappearing from sight, but the figures of the Huoteng Tribe were not far from the Envoy Beastman and his group.

"I never expected it to be you, A Man—why not stay properly in the tribe, yet you ran out to follow us; it seems this place today is where you will go to meet the Beast God."

The Envoy Beastman's voice was empowered by the Beast God's power, carrying far.

The sound from behind clearly reached the ears of the Huoteng Tribe members; each face was grim, yet they never stopped their steps.

Their combat strength compared to the Kuma Tribe is vastly different; if they fled, there might still be some hope, but stopping would mean only a dead end.

Seeing the Huoteng Tribe's people ahead silent, just running with heads down, the Envoy Beastman gave a cold snort, his face grim: "Speed up and catch up—I don't believe I can't stop them here; after catching them, I'll first seize the crystal core from the shaman's embrace, then quickly deal with the rest."

The Beastman Warriors around curled their lips into a cruel arc, all responding in unison.

"Captain, ahead is the Lin River."

The Huoteng Tribe Beastman Warrior's face was grim; the Lin He is a river that runs through the entire forest in the Yun Wu Shan Mai, even flowing through nearly all the tribes' territories.

The difference between the Lin He and other small streams is that this river is very wide, with tribes living on each bank, dividing the entire Yun Wu Shan Mai into two parts.

At this moment, turning in any other direction would surely result in being caught.

The Sturdy Beastman felt the unfamiliar Beastfolk aura constantly approaching from behind, gritted his teeth, and turned to run in another direction.

Sure enough, seeing them turn, the Kuma Envoy Beastman Warrior behind led the people on a shortcut and continued the chase, instantly narrowing the distance between the two groups.

"Haha, A Man, you can't escape; you might as well obediently come to die—I'll throw your corpses into the Lin He, perhaps they'll float back to the Huoteng Tribe—hahaha!"

The manic laughter kept ringing out from behind, extremely grating.

A Man and his group turned livid with rage, yet dared not slacken, for they carried a vitally important item and must return alive to the tribe to deliver it to the Great Shaman and the Clan Chief—this concerned the tribe's future.

"But evidently, the Kuma Tribe did not want them to return to the tribe and tell the Huoteng Tribe about the crystal core."

Therefore, the Envoy Beastman increased his speed a notch, even waving a hand to launch an attack.

A thick wooden stick struck the leg of a Huoteng Tribe Beastman Warrior behind, the immense force instantly knocking him to the ground.

After a Beastman groaned, he was subdued by a Kuma Tribe Beastman Warrior who came running up.

Seeing the Sturdy Beastman still not stopping, the Envoy Beastman gave a grim smile and punched the captured Huoteng Tribe Beastman in the chest.

Fresh blood accompanied by viscera fragments spurted out; the Huoteng Tribe Beastman Warrior who had just been ferociously glaring at the Envoy Beastman gradually lost consciousness.

The Kuma Tribe Beastman Warrior who had restrained him sneered, swung his arm, and threw him into the nearby Lin He.

The Beastfolk's blood spread in the river water; the calm river surface instantly began to boil, after a grating 'crack-crack' sound, besides the strong bloody smell, no trace of Beastman Warriors remained on the surface.

The Huoteng Tribe members clenched their teeth, eyes nearly bursting, yet dared not stop their steps to look at the tribesmen being devoured by water beasts.

"Don't look back; even if only one of us remains, we must bring the crystal core back to the tribe."

The Sturdy Beastman's mouth was full of bloody taste, that from over-exertion when gritting his teeth caused a wound, but this bloody smell continually reminded him to run forward, not to linger.

As their stamina gradually waned, the distance between them and the Kuma Tribe Beastman Warriors behind grew ever closer.

"Stop, you can't run anymore!"

The Envoy Beastman's breath also grew somewhat ragged, fine beads of sweat trickling down his temples; he casually wiped them with a raised hand, then spoke again, but to no effect.

With a grim smile, he took a wooden stick from a nearby tribesman and threw it forward with force.

The target was the weakest Beastman in the Huoteng Tribe's group.

Facing the powerful Golden Rank Beastman Warrior, that Beastman let out a groan as his leg was shattered, collapsing unstable to the ground.

"Captain, you guys hurry up and go."

The Beastman Warrior's eyes turned scarlet; he turned to look at the rapidly approaching Kuma Tribe Beastman Warrior behind him, revealing a vicious grin.
