Chapter 475

As long as we live well, you cultivate well, as long as we can survive, we have hope.

Looking at Sister A Yun's firm gaze, Fuer nodded solemnly: "En."

The gloom in the heart instantly dissipated considerably.

Days passed one by one, and the surrounding trees began to sprout tender green shoots.

Wu Yue looked at the clumps of wild vegetables in her hand, sighed deeply: "Tongzi, when will my injury be fully healed? Although I can now release some shamanic power, it's nowhere near what it was before."

The short-statured Tongzi, sucking on an ice pop in the system space, said: "This can't be rushed; shamanic power is inherently hard to cultivate. Look at Yuan Lang and the others—aren't they recovering much faster than you?"

Crunch-crunch-crunch, he finished the last bit of the ice pop, chewing it to pieces, revealing a mouthful of neat little white teeth. Tongzi's face was full of a shrewd smile: "Why don't you, host, consider borrowing some points to exchange for effective medicine?"

Guaranteeing you won't lose out, won't be cheated, and it's more than worth its price!

Thinking of the string of numbers below that effective medicine, Wu Yue snorted coldly and decisively blocked the Dog System.

Since becoming addicted to ice pops, this guy is always occasionally scheming to shop, surely wanting to skim a profit off it; she would never fall for it.

"This awkward in-between period is finally over."

Teng Qian's loud voice rang out in the camp; Wu Yue poked her head out of the cave and saw Yuan Lang shouldering a wild boar, while behind him Teng Qian also shouldered a prey with snowy white fur.

Seeing her look over, Teng Qian excitedly lifted the prey on his shoulder and shook it: "Yue, come look—Boss specifically caught this back to make you clothes."

The snowy white fur reflected light in the sunlight, even carrying a faint layer of gold.

"What kind of beast is this?"

The feel underhand was extremely soft and smooth; Wu Yue looked at the beast hide, not hiding her delight at all.

Yuan Lang tossed the prey on his shoulder aside, took the snowy white furred prey in hand, and said: "It looks like a fox, but much larger; this piece of fur is enough for you to make a full set of beast hide clothing."

"Beast God! It's actually a snow beast!"

As the pure-human leader was about to step forward to process the prey, seeing Yuan Lang holding that snowy white wild beast, his eyes instantly lit up like two small bulbs.

The legendary snow beast—its hide is extremely precious even in the super tribe.

"Snow beast?"

Wu Yue looked toward the exclaiming pure-human chief.

The pure-human chief lifted his chin, which had almost been scared off, steadied his mind, then said: "The snow beast is a kind of mysterious wild beast in our forest; only in winter and just after winter ends is their fur this beautiful white."

In other seasons, although snow beasts exist, their fur is extremely hard and mixed with many other colors, extremely ugly.

Wu Yue's mouth twitched as she glanced at the snowy white beast in Yuan Lang's hand—either it's stunningly beautiful or hideously ugly.

With abundant prey, the food of the few pure humans also became much more plentiful.

"I thought we were captured to desperately search for food, but I never expected to be able to eat meat in this season—truly too happy."

The speaking pure human sucked at the grease on his fingers, his somewhat fuller face filled with happiness.

"That's right; back then at this time, we used to follow the captain to look for food; as for prey—"

"Where would there be a share for us to eat!"

"Even the bones were gnawed by the captains' partners; seeing a wild vegetable made our eyes turn green."

The pure-human leader sat on a nearby stone, rubbing his round belly, also sighing contentedly.

"You just need to know; such days were previously unimaginable. From now on, we'll properly follow the few beastman warriors; you all should be diligent daily, for the powerful beastman warriors will not mistreat us."

Several pure humans here sighed at the beauty of life, while Wu Yue and the others in the cave drank fragrant meat soup.

"That tribe somehow captured some slaves, including two half-beast warriors, but one of them looks like it's about to give out."

"With these slaves, their food-gathering speed over the past few days has increased a bit; it seems they won't need to wait much longer."

Ying Ze gulped down the meat soup in his bowl in one go, bent over, and refilled another bowl, holding it in hand.

These past few days he hasn't participated in hunting; mainly he's responsible for monitoring those strangers who appeared in their current camp last time.

"I never expected that our camp hasn't even stabilized yet, and already we've been targeted."

Looking at Wu Yue speaking with a calm expression, Yuan Lang amusedly ruffled her hair: "You don't look the slightest bit worried."

Wu Yue chuckled: "Isn't there three powerful beastman warriors? A small tribe led by a half-beast warrior—how could they be a match for you."

Teng Qian glug-glugged the meat soup, feeling his whole body full of strength; this flattery made him feel completely at ease.

"Hey Ying Ze, have you been to the Laso Tribe lately?"

The pitiful little Aima cried out, and Wu Yue couldn't help but look at Ying Ze and ask.

Ying Ze nodded: "Just a few days ago I went once; Awang has been missing too long, and the Uke tribe chief's search for Awang is also because now is a crucial time for competing for slots; losing a half-beast still has some impact."

But not long ago, the Uke tribe chief again subjugated a small tribe, filling Awang's gap, and now the search effort isn't as strong.

Only a few pure-human squads are still searching in the forest; those half-beasts have already returned.

Putting down his empty bowl, he continued: "The Laso Tribe is just like the other small tribes—no impact."

"Awang's matter is past; we need to focus our energy on that tribe that came over last time."

"If they dare to scheme against us, taking some slaves is also fine; a new tribe is exactly in need of people."

"Now food is also abundant; we can get through this initial difficult period with some hard work."

Yuan Lang spoke.

Several people nodded in unison, their eyes full of excitement.

After eating, Ying Ze flew into the night-dark forest to continue monitoring that small tribe.

"Yue, when I go hunting tomorrow I'll circle the surrounding territory to gather news; our goal is the strongest tribe in this forest, and this little territory is far from enough."

Wu Yue frowned at Yuan Lang: "How is your recovery?"

Although beastfolk recover much more strongly than shamans, she still worries a bit.

Yuan Lang chuckled: "About half a month more and I'll be fully recovered; just going out to scout should be fine—Teng Qian and I will go together, while you and Teng Kun should be careful in the tribe."

Unexpectedly, the beastman turned around to worry about her, and Wu Yue's eyes also involuntarily smiled: "Although I can now only mobilize a little shamanic power, don't forget I have many gifts bestowed by the Beast God; in this forest, no one can harm me."

Yuan Lang stroked the little female's head, his handsome brows and eyes softening somewhat.

The two were talking here, while Teng Qian and Teng Kun in the mountain cave corner over there watched them, feeling a bit envious.

I miss my Qingcao.

Teng Kun sighed, looking at the two over there who were lovey-dovey, and felt a bit heartbroken.

I also have a partner!

Hearing his younger brother's sigh, Teng Qian's sturdy body stiffened; he shifted his buttocks, stood up, and tiptoed away toward the other side of the cave.

But in this mountain cave corner there were only the two brothers; his movement couldn't escape Teng Kun's eyes, and the glance he had just been gossiping about his older brother quickly locked onto his older brother, who was somewhat lewd.

Older brother, are you going out to steal chickens?

Teng Qian, standing on tiptoe, stiffened, gave a dry laugh, regained his composure, and glanced evasively at his younger brother: "Well, I just really need to pee, I want to go take care of it."

After saying that, he even vividly shivered, looking like he could barely hold it in.

Teng Kun's face immediately darkened: "Hurry up and go!"

Although it's his older brother, the cave is a living place; if this aggravating older brother couldn't hold it and relieved himself in the cave, thinking of the miserable consequences, Teng Kun couldn't help but shudder.

But his gaze toward his older brother's back still carried a hint of regret.

He had just seen the ambiguous atmosphere between his older brother and Yue, and suddenly thought of the beastwoman female who had strengthened his older brother in the tribe, and wanted to investigate further.

Having slipped out of the cave, Teng Qian felt the gaze fixed on his back disappear, and he let out a deep sigh of relief.

At the moment he felt his dog younger brother's gaze shift from his older brother and Yue onto himself, a strong uneasy premonition welled up in his heart; fortunately he cleverly employed the Urination Escape Technique, otherwise he would probably be pestered by his dog younger brother about those shameful past events.

Thinking and thinking, he felt indignant: what kind of world is this, a female built like a male is fine, but her strength even exceeds mine—there's simply no way to survive.

But thinking of himself now carefree outside, he also dispelled the rising longing and really went to the small grove to relieve himself.

Early the next morning, after simply eating some leftover roasted meat, Yuan Lang led Teng Qian charging into the forest.

In the tribe only Wu Yue, Teng Qian, and the few pure human males from the former Uke Tribe remained.

Several pure humans also saw the two beastfolk disappearing into the forest, assuming it was just their daily hunt and paying no attention; the leading pure human male then led his few underlings to continue clearing weeds and dead trees around.

But when they rested at noon and returned to the tribal base, they discovered that the entire tribe had left only that little female.

Wu Yue, who was drying herbs, merely glanced at them indifferently: "At noon just eat yesterday's leftover game; if it's not enough, go pick some wild vegetables."

She then ignored them and continued drying her herbs.

Although the few people were doubtful, they obediently took food to share and eat.

After finishing the food and still seeing no other beastfolk return, the few finally confirmed that truly only they and this little female remained on this base.

The pure human leader, holding a piece of roasted meat on a leaf, hesitated a moment, then walked toward the little female who was drying herbs.

"Um, have you eaten? There's still some roasted meat left."

Although several beastfolk and this little female all called her a shaman, over this long time they had never seen her demonstrate any shamanic abilities, so they felt little fear and merely treated her as an ordinary pure human female.

However, due to the presence of those few beastfolk warriors, they felt a bit wary and would not easily approach her.

But now that the beastfolk warriors in the tribe were absent, the few people's courage grew, and they wanted to chat with this tribe's sole little female.

Wu Yue merely turned her head to glance at the leading pure human, then, as if thinking of something, turned to look at him: "Put the meat on that stone over there; what's your name?"

Her tone was bland, lacking the usual fear and dread that pure human females in the tribe felt toward males, which made several pure human males feel a hint of dissatisfaction.

Yet, thinking of those powerful beastfolk warriors, they suppressed that dissatisfaction.

The leading pure human male placed the roasted meat on that stone, then smiled: "I am Da Man; these three and I used to follow A Wang's unit."

Speaking, he turned his head to look at the three pure humans not far away: "The tallest is called Shou Gan, the shortest is called Shou Zhuang; they were born of A Mu.

The remaining one with relatively short legs is called Duan Tui, but don't let his short legs fool you—he is the fastest runner in our squad, and when he rushes forward he's like a gust of wind."

Yue Yue frowned, feeling that except for the leader's relatively normal name, the others' names were simply perfect embodiments of their shortcomings.

Seeing the three's indifferent expressions, Yue Yue sighed inwardly: indeed, after hearing so much, one becomes indifferent?

The corner of her mouth twitched as she turned away: "Continue clearing the fallen trees and weeds around the base; from now on our base will be expanded, as the current place is too small."

Having said that, she no longer paid attention to them and continued busying herself with her own affairs.

But Yue Yue's attitude completely angered the three pure human males not far away.

In the former Uke Tribe, females held a very low status, because aside from gathering they could not hunt any game, so many females went an entire year without eating a single bite of meat.

Accustomed to shouting at and scolding the females in the tribe, now seeing Yue Yue speak to them without even giving them a glance, several males instantly flew into a rage.

"Damn, not giving you a look—do you have any idea how mighty males are?"

They respected the powerful beastfolk warriors, but could not accept a weakling-like female putting on an aloof superior attitude before them.

Immediately they wanted to teach this little female a lesson; after exchanging a glance, they also ignored Da Man's disapproving look and, full of aggression, strode toward the little female who was busy drying herbs.
