Chapter 565: The Problem of Bringing Back the Totem Pole

The healing shaman, having sobered from ecstasy, saw the looks of the nearby tribespeople, let out a proud hum, ignored the outstretched hand of the beastman warrior ready to take the dagger, and carefully slipped it into the clothing over his chest.

"Wu Yue, you're being too polite, actually giving me such a precious dagger—I'm really embarrassed."

Wu Yue: "..."

Your swift, fierce, and precise manner of putting away the dagger shows not the slightest embarrassment.

After concluding the alliance with the Snow Tiger Tribe and receiving an unexpected gift from Wu Yue, the healing shaman, surrounded by bubbles of joy, prepared to leave.

"By the way, Wu Yue, if you ever encounter the grand shaman of the Huaxia Tribe again, could you ask whether there's any witch medicine that can restore vitality to the body?"

Wu Yue gave him a doubtful glance: "Your current appearance is already the best possible after the witchpower baptism, right?"

The healing shaman gave a wry smile and recounted the poison shaman and what had happened earlier with the Huaxia grand shaman in the polar deep forest: "Because the injuries were too severe, I've aged considerably, and due to my physical condition, my strength is no longer what it once was."

"We four are a small team; every time we go out... well... so each combat strength is important to us. I hope you can help ask—if you need any supplies, just tell me."

When mentioning certain matters, the healing shaman clearly skimmed over them, but Wu Yue had no intention of probing further, after all, it was the Kuma Tribe's affair and had nothing to do with her.

But thinking of the Kuma Tribe poison shaman who constantly unleashed poison insects to attack her, and recalling the points she lost while blocking those insects, she felt a pang of regret.

"I've never heard of a witch medicine that restores bodily vitality, but even if it existed, such a miraculous medicine would surely require many precious items in exchange."

At the very least, one would have to compensate for three times the lost points.

The healing shaman nodded: "Please help ask; if the exchange truly can't be made, that is also the will of the Beast God, a punishment for the poison shaman's rudeness toward the grand shaman."

Wu Yue's mouth twitched; the Beast World Continent is so vast—how could the Beast God have time for such trivial matters?

Still, she nodded and agreed to help the healing shaman inquire about the witch medicine.

As they were about to leave, the healing shaman, feeling close to the Snow Tiger Tribe, shamelessly took a large amount of barbecue seasonings from Wu Yue.

Meanwhile, before the altar of the Snow Moon Tribe, Wu Yue and her companions gazed at the standing totem pole, feeling their bodies lighten somewhat.

"After being out for so long, we finally obtained a totem pole."

Ying Ze's eyes reddened as he gazed at the totem pole exuding pressure before him, and thinking of the beastman warriors in the tribe awaiting their return to save lives, his heart surged with excitement.

Wu Yue wanted to reach out and touch the mysterious carving on the pillar, but Tongzi inside the system space stopped her.

"Dog host, don't you want your hand?"

Wu Yue's outstretched hand paused: "What? Can't we touch this totem pole?"

Tongzi sighed like an old father: "When beastmen break through to the gold tier, their energy surges; only gold-tier beastmen can withstand the pressure of this pillar—anyone else who touches it will be injured."

"If you want to see it, you can exchange a small boost in the shop for just fifty points, and it's permanent use."

Wu Yue: "..."

"You really never forget to do business, every moment."

But thinking of the totem pole's wonder, she still couldn't resist exchanging for the little boost item.

Carved on the totem pole is a giant beast; she had seen this kind of giant beast before, and it closely resembles the beast form of the Kuma Tribe's beastman warriors.

"This should be the evolved form of the Kuma Tribe's beastman warriors."

A low voice of a beastman sounded nearby.

Wu Yue nodded slightly: "I just don't know how many times the giant beast carved on the totem pole has evolved, or whether it's still alive."

Besides the suppressive power of witchcraft on the totem pole, there is also an inexplicable pressure, which should belong to that giant beast carved upon it.

"Yue, you should put away this totem pole; one totem pole isn't enough to save all the gold-tier beastman warriors currently in the polar forest. Once we obtain a second totem pole, we'll figure out how to send it back."

"The road is fraught with danger; it would be too perilous for a young female to follow us back. If another river mishap occurred, no one could guarantee we'd be as fortunate and safe reaching the shore as last time."

Wu Yue looked up at him: "I'll put it away first; we'll discuss returning to the polar forest after we get hold of a second totem pole."

"The totem pole is too bulky, and judging from the earlier Kuma Tribe beastman warriors' builds, this totem pole isn't light at all—probably the two of them, the original one and Teng Qian, couldn't have carried it away."

Gazing at the totem pole before her, Wu Yue had a thought, but the next moment, the pressure-emitting totem pole remained standing in place, unmoved, let alone appearing in her system space.

Wu Yue frowned, tried several more times, then solemnly looked at the nearby people: "This totem pole simply cannot be stored in the system space."

Several beastman warriors exchanged glances, all somewhat dumbfounded.

Because Ying Ze had sworn to become Wu Yue's guardian beastman, everyone knew she could summon and store items out of thin air.

"We currently only have Yuan Lang as a gold-tier beastman warrior; there's simply no way to send this totem pole back to the polar forest."

Wu Yue frowned: "Tongzi, is there any way to let my space store this totem pole?"

Tongzi flipped through a book thicker than his own small body, chuckling, then sighed: "Dog host, there's no way; your strength is too low. This totem pole contains the mighty witchpower of the Kuma Tribe's grand shaman and the oppressive pressure of the Kuma Tribe chieftain's blood—it's simply beyond what you can bear now."

Having received Tongzi's reply, Wu Yue could only let out a helpless sigh.

Yuan Lang reached out and grasped her somewhat cold hand: "What's wrong?"

Wu Yue looked at the totem pole: "My strength is too low, so I can't store this totem pole."

"Then we four will take turns guarding here."

Yuan Lang rubbed Wu Yue's hair: "Besides, Teng Qian and the others breaking through to gold-tier beastmen isn't a matter of a day or two; once we win the tribal competition and obtain another totem pole, I'll head back to the tribe."

Wu Yue frowned at him: "You're going back alone?"

Yuan Lang nodded: "Now it seems, bringing the totem pole back is impossible; I can only bring the news back, and then bring them here to break through."
