Chapter 575: The Reappearance of the Wuke Tribe
Looking at the candle pushed before him, the Dong Sang clan leader's heart pounded wildly.
He was very familiar with this item; at the start of the trade fair, the foremost stalls were reserved for the Snow Moon Tribe themselves.
The items placed on those stalls were things they had never seen before.
He had seen this candle together with several clan leaders back then; in that pitch‑black room, this tiny candle actually illuminated the whole room.
Moreover... he clearly remembered that the Ma Ji clan leader had once wanted to exchange a candle to bring back for his partner.
But later, the exchange conditions proposed by the Snow Moon Tribe people startled them all.
This tiny candle actually required ten pieces of soft large beast hide to be obtained.
"This is too precious; I am merely passing along a message—how could I accept such a truly valuable item!"
The Dong Sang clan leader hurriedly refused, good heavens, that's twenty pieces of soft large beast hide.
Wu Yue smiled and shook her head: "Just two candles; the news you brought concerns the lives of our Beastman Warriors, and our Beastman Warriors are far more important than these candles.
In the future, if the Dong Sang clan leader needs candles, you can come to our tribe to exchange; I can give you five pieces of soft large beast hide for one candle."
The Dong Sang clan leader opened his mouth, but in the end he still did not refuse.
After all, for the Dong Sang tribe, having illuminating candles is indeed very important.
After seeing off the Dong Sang clan leader, Wu Yue summoned Yuan Lang and the others.
Upon hearing the Huo Teng tribe's underhanded tactics, everyone's faces changed.
"If I had known back then, I shouldn't have let that stinky old man go."
Teng Qian fiercely pounded the stone table.
Yuan Lang frowned and looked at Wu Yue: "Is the Beastman who came to deliver the news A Man?"
Wu Yue pondered: "I think it's very likely him; from our previous contacts, this A Man is still grateful for our earlier help, but his status in the tribe is lower than that of the witch doctor, so he probably can't resist and therefore used the Dong Sang clan leader to warn us."
"Alas, it's all because our strength is too low."
Ying Ze sighed.
Yuan Lang frowned at him: "Even if your strength increases, our numbers still differ greatly now; this cannot be made up."
"Should we give up? Moon?"
Wu Yue's eyes turned icy: "Since the Huo Teng tribe is targeting us, I'll see what tricks they pull during the competition.
When the time comes, I will join you; no matter what schemes the Huo Teng tribe has, Yun Wu Shan Mai is not only their super tribe."
"Shaman Sir, Beastman Sirs, something has happened on the territory."
From outside the courtyard came some anxious shouts of the tribespeople; several people hurriedly rose and walked out.
At that moment, the male standing outside had specks of blood on his body, looking rather disheveled.
"What happened?"
This male was exactly the small tribe chief A Gu who had been previously incorporated; now Yuan Lang had taken him under his command, responsible for the security of this trade fair.
"Yuan Lang Sir, two small tribes had just stepped out of our tribe's territory when they were attacked by the damned Wuke Tribe; they not only had all their belongings looted, but also several tribespeople were stabbed. If we hadn't followed your order to stay not far away, those small tribe people would probably all have been killed."
He turned aside to reveal the males carrying a simple stretcher outside the courtyard: "We have brought these small tribe people back."
"Moon, first treat these small tribe people."
Yuan Lang looked at the petite female beside him.
Wu Yue nodded, channeling shamanic power with both hands to wrap the injured small tribe people on each simple stretcher.
In the envious gaze of A Gu and his entourage, the wounds on these small tribe people healed at a visible speed.
In just a moment, these originally drowsy small tribe people all woke up one by one.
Looking at the Wu Yue Sir and the several Beastman Sirs they had only ever looked up to from afar, each one's legs went soft as they crawled up from the simple stretchers, thudding as they knelt on the ground.
"Wu Yue Sir, Beastman Sirs."
Wu Yue nodded slightly, looking toward Yuan Lang beside her.
The Beastman's expression was icy: "I will lead the tribespeople to help you retrieve the looted items."
Several males were overjoyed, actually still having such good fortune?
Unlike the tribespeople, the leading male's tightly furrowed brows only relaxed a little; after the Wuke Tribe's looting, he now has no confidence that he can bring the exchanged items back to the tribe.
"Thank you, Wu Yue Sir, for saving us!
Beastman Sir, we don't need the items; just trouble you to retrieve them in time, our tribe is too weak and will likely be looted again."
The male spoke while his heart felt bitterly resentful; he had harbored a sliver of hope, wishing to safely bring back the exchanged items, but he never expected to be targeted again.
Yuan Lang looked at the male: "I can have the tribe's squad escort you back, but after you safely reach the tribe, you need to give half of the exchanged items to the squad that protected you on the way back."
The male stared blankly at the mighty Beastman Warrior: "Really... really?" Is there really such a good thing?
As long as half of the items are given, they can be protected all the way back to the tribe.
Yuan Lang frowned: "Do you need our protection?"
The male instantly came to his senses, nodding repeatedly: "We need it, we need it; we are willing to give half of the items in exchange for your protection, and we don't even have to return to the tribe—once the items are in our hands, the Snow Moon Tribe people can just take them."
The great Snow Moon Tribe would not deceive such a poor small tribe over such a trifling amount of items.
Yuan Lang nodded, looking at A Gu beside him whose body was stained with blood: "You stay behind to continue patrolling; if any medium or small tribe needs protection, arrange other squads to escort them, each squad must be led by a Half-Beast Warrior."
A Gu's body instantly straightened: "Yes, Sir!"
"Are you planning to go yourself?"
Hearing the petite female's question, Yuan Lang turned his head to look at her, then nodded: "This small tribe encountered the Wuke Tribe; if we only send Half-Beast Warriors, should they run into the Wuke clan leader, they might also be left behind.
I will hide in the dark; if the Wuke Tribe still dares to come, we will leave them all behind."
Seeing the cold light in his eyes, Wu Yue nodded, then exchanged from the system mall a Mighty Pill and a Defensive Talisman and handed them to him.
"You also need to watch your own safety; the Wuke Tribe is nothing, but be careful that the Huo Teng Tribe might be involved here."
The tribespeople who received shamanic healing recovered quickly; the next day, under the protection of the Snow Moon Tribe squad, they set out.
Host, don't worry, with the Power Pill and protective talisman, Yuan Lang won't be in any danger; even if those little troublemakers from the Ou Teng Tribe get involved, we can just follow the talisman's energy to rescue.
Watching the direction everyone left, Wu Yue heard the words and let out a soft sigh: 'Hope they don't encounter danger.'
