Chapter 547: The Maji Tribe Chief's Shock

~6 min read 1,173 words

The Maji tribe chief sat in his own cave, beside him a tall, sturdy female pure-human.

"Chief, can Bali and them really learn the method of making food? No tribe would be willing to share its precious food with another tribe."

The female handed the roasted meat in her hand to her mate sitting on the animal hide, worried.

"This is what Shaman Yue said personally; don't doubt a shaman."

The Beastman's eyes held a faint warning; the female's breath caught, she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, these are Shaman Yue's words."

"Chief! Chief! Bali is back!"

The two hadn't finished the food in their hands when a loud shout from the tribespeople suddenly came from outside the cave.

The Maji tribe chief's eyes brightened; he hurriedly shoved the food in his hand into his mate's hand and strode out.

"Hahaha, how did Bali come back so quickly?"

A hearty laugh came from inside the cave; Bali, who was being surrounded by the tribespeople, let out a big breath and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd.

"I'll go find the chief first."

Having said that, he slipped away from the overly enthusiastic tribespeople.

Seeing the tall, sturdy figure standing at the cave entrance, Bali quickly walked over and bowed: "Chief."

The Maji tribe chief laughed heartily and patted Bali's arm: "Come, let's go inside and talk."

The female inside the cave had already fetched fresh food, roasting it on the fire; seeing Bali follow his mate inside, her eyes also lit up.

"Bali, did you bring back the method of making food?"

Bali grinned and nodded: "Of course, Shaman Yue has already given us the method for processing corn fruit and making corn cakes."

Speaking, he took down the pack on his back and opened it; inside were corn cakes of various sizes: "These are what our people made while studying at the Snow Moon Tribe."

Although they varied in size, and some were even a bit burnt, after heating them briefly at the edge of the fire, they gave off the same faint sweet aroma.

The female excitedly shoved the food she was roasting into the chief's hand, picked up a corn cake, broke off a piece and popped it into her mouth; the sweet, crisp texture made her eyes widen in amazement: "It really is a corn cake, hahaha!"

No longer paying attention to the mate beside him, ecstatic over the food, the Maji tribe chief looked at Bali in a good mood: "How did you come back alone? Where are the other tribespeople?"

"Corn fruit can be made into many other foods; Adult Wu Yue told us to learn a few more varieties before returning, so the other tribespeople stayed there to study."

Suddenly, the smile faded from Bali's lips; he looked solemnly at his own chief: "Chief, this time I bring you an important message."

Hearing this, the Maji tribe chief sat up from his grass nest, straightened his back: "News?"

Bali nodded: "When we arrived at the Snow Moon Tribe, they were under attack by the Wuke Tribe; although Shaman Yue rushed back in time, their Eagle Beastman still lost an arm."

The Maji tribe chief's large hand resting casually on his knee clenched instantly: "What? When did the Wuke Tribe become so strong?"

Bali shook his head: "It's that Shaman Niluo, but Chief, the important message I have to tell you is not that."

His thick hand clenched tight, his eyes full of shock and solemnity: "Just a few days ago, Shaman Yue summoned that Eagle Beastman into the cave; when he came out..."

As if recalling a shocking scene, his Adam's apple jerked several times: "That Eagle Beastman's arm actually grew back, and even looked sturdier than before it was broken."

"Bang!"

With the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, the burnt smell of the roasted meat spread through the cave; the Maji tribe chief was so shocked that the food in his hand fell into the fire.

His chest heaved; after a moment he finally exhaled heavily, bent over and picked out the food already charred to black.

"You didn't see how that arm grew back, did you?"

His voice was a little hoarse, his breath still somewhat heavy.

Bali shook his head: "Two Beastman Warriors guard the cave entrance; we can't get in."

The Maji tribe chief, who had been sitting, suddenly stood up, his eyes radiating an astonishing light: "It must be! It must be!"

Seeing him pacing back and forth in the cave, muttering excitedly, Bali and the Maji tribe chief's mate exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered.

"Maji, what could it possibly be?"

Hearing his mate's voice, the Maji tribe chief finally came down from his ecstasy, but facing their questions, he wore an inscrutable expression: "I can't say, but Bali."

He turned his head to look at the Half-Beast standing aside: "Remember, you must obey Shaman Yue's words; after returning to the Snow Moon Tribe, you must perform well, you must strive to earn Shaman Yue's greater favor, understand?"

Although Bali didn't know why the chief made such a decision, he still chose to trust the chief's choice, nodding solemnly: "You can rest assured, Chief."

Meanwhile, after Wu Yue left the tribe, she spent a huge sum of 10 points from the system to obtain Niluo's whereabouts.

One could only say the two were truly fearless, perhaps because they had the protection of a super-tribe, and actually swaggered back into the Wuke Tribe's territory.

"Host, ahead is the Wuke Tribe's territory; following that stinky woman Niluo's habits, she's surely living in the biggest, best cave in this tribe."

Tongzi bounced about in the system space, wishing he could manifest his true form right now to charge alongside his host and fight side by side.

Wu Yue looked at the large fire pits scattered throughout the Wuke Tribe, frowning: "Although those two have returned to the tribe, the Wuke Tribe's patrols have still been greatly strengthened."

Seeing the males constantly patrolling the cave area, Wu Yue for a moment couldn't think of a good way to sneak in without alerting Niluo.

Wuke Tribe.

Niluo lay on a soft beastskin bed, with only a medium-sized beastskin draped over her waist, her expression languid and satisfied.

Around her beastskin bed at this moment lay four or five sturdy males scattered haphazardly, each as if drained of essence and blood, their faces deathly pale as they slept unconscious.

"These useless creatures, even with so many of them they still haven't fed half of my little pet."

She curled her lip while stroking the black-red worm on her shoulder.

"Someone, take all of these out for me."

The languid voice echoed in the cave; the two Beastman guards outside exchanged a glance, gathered their resolve, and entered the cave.

The strange odor wafting over made the two frown involuntarily, but they quickly lowered their heads to conceal it.

Afterward, without a word, they dragged those few males on the ground and walked out.
