Chapter 586

Noticing the scrutinizing gazes of the surrounding tribes, the few people of the Snow Moon Tribe had extremely calm expressions.

Looks like that old coot's plans to deal with us have already spread throughout the Yun Wu Shan Mai.

Ying Ze fiddled with the wooden stick in his hand, his mood somewhat heavy.

Hehe, that old thing is trying to isolate us, tch~

Teng Qian said while gripping his fist and swinging it hard a few times; the Beastman's powerful force even produced a series of tearing-air sounds.

The surrounding tribes that had been secretly sizing them up instantly changed their expressions upon seeing this, picking up their belongings and moving to a relatively safe place.

The area around the Snow Moon Tribe instantly cleared out a large space.

Everyone didn't wait long; many tribes still came to participate in the grand event of the entire Yun Wu Shan Mai.

After the time it took to eat a meal of jerky, Wu Yue and the few others followed behind a Beastman Warrior of the Or-Teng Tribe toward the Or-Teng Tribe's territory.

The few had thought they would be given trouble by this Beastman, but what they didn't expect was that the Beastman Warrior merely glanced at them casually and then summoned everyone to set out.

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang exchanged a glance, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes.

Not only were they not given trouble, they even saw little hostility toward them in the Beastfolk's eyes.

Teng Qian stroked his chin with a deep expression: "This Beastman Warrior doesn't seem very hostile toward us, huh? Could it be that I've won him over with my charm?"

Wu Yue stumbled on her feet, speechlessly turning her head to look at the expressionless Beastfolk beside her.

Two days later, everyone finally understood why they had to gather many people before someone came to lead them.

They were now standing beside a large stone carved with a totem; the Beastman Warrior leading them faced the crowd, his face full of pride: "This huge stone carved with a totem is the border of our Or-Teng Tribe's territory; reaching here means you have arrived in the Or-Teng Tribe's territory."

Everyone: "..."

The heated atmosphere instantly plummeted; good grief, I thought you said we had already reached the camping spot, but after walking two days you tell me we've only just reached the outskirts of the Or-Teng Tribe.

Several members of the mid-sized tribes looked at the scant food left in the Beastfolk bao guo, feeling embarrassed.

"Beastman Sir, our food is running low; may I ask where we can hunt and gather?"

At that moment, a sturdy Beastman Warrior loudly inquired.

They weren't particularly interested in that stone; although it looked imposing and mysterious, it had nothing to do with them.

When the speech was interrupted, the Beastfolk's face grew somewhat gloomy, but upon seeing the speaking Beastman Warrior, the gloom on his face faded considerably.

"During the tribal competition, you may hunt and gather within the Or-Teng Tribe's territory, but you must hand over half of what you obtain; only the remainder may you keep."

Upon hearing that, everyone's faces showed a hint of joy.

As long as they can hunt and gather, they need not fear a lack of food, after all they are the elite members of each tribe; such a trifling matter as hunting poses no difficulty for them.

Alright, the Or-Teng Tribe's Beastman Warrior, no longer feeling smug, continued to lead everyone on their way.

Until three days later, the group passed through the jungle, just as they poked their heads out from the thickets, a clamor came rolling toward them like a wave, enveloping them.

"This... this is..."

"Beast God, such a large clearing."

The Or-Teng Tribe's Beastman Warrior, hearing this, proudly lifted his chin: "This clearing below is where you will be stationed; many tribes' members have not yet arrived, and before the tribal competition you will reside here."

He pointed to the caves on the cliff wall: "Those caves were dug out by teams that previously came to participate in the tribal competition; if you want to move in, you must challenge the tribe that already occupies the cave, and the losing tribe must leave—no killing allowed."

"Alright, you all may go down now."

After the Beastfolk finished speaking, he greeted the Beastman Warrior guarding the edge of the clearing, then turned and disappeared into the forest.

The group looked at one another, then after a moment they all rushed onto the clearing like a flock of sheep let out of a pen.

Wu Yue and the few others even saw several tribes charging straight toward the cave direction.

"Yue, boss, let's go too; I've taken a liking to that biggest cave in the middle—let's go down and take them on."

Beside him, Teng Qian clenched his fists, his fighting spirit overflowing.

At that moment, a guard Beastfolk of the Or-Teng Tribe nearby suddenly spoke: "You'd better not challenge those large caves in the middle; they're inhabited by super-tribes, and there are even a few super-tribes from outside."

As for the mid-sized tribes below, you may challenge them; they are some of the major tribes of the Yun Wu Shan Mai.

After the Beastfolk finished speaking, he walked away holding a stone spear.

After the Beastfolk left, Ying Ze blinked somewhat bewilderedly: "Huh... I'm starting to not understand the Or-Teng Tribe's procedures."

The tribe's shaman wanted to kill them, but these Beastman Warriors not only bore no hostility toward them, they even provided information.

The few turned their heads to look at Teng Qian, who also looked somewhat bewildered: "Could it really be a charm issue?"

Feeling the few's gazes, Teng Qian scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Why are you staring at me? I'm embarrassed."

Everyone: "..."

Damn it, this guy's attitude just begs for a beating.

Although they brought materials for building tents, since there were caves to live in, they had no intention of staying in tents.

Under the gaze of the surrounding tribes, the few went straight to a cave that could accommodate them.

"How's this?" Yuan Lang turned his head to look at Wu Yue standing beside him.

"Not bad, the lighting is quite good."

Although I don't know what 'lighting' means, the little female's meaning was already clear; Yuan Lang glanced at Teng Qian and pointed his chin toward the cave.

Having received the signal from their boss, Teng Qian rubbed his hands, hehe-laughing as he walked to the cave entrance.

"Anyone in there? We're taking this cave—hurry up and pack your things and get out."

Wu Yue slowly turned her head and looked up at the sky.

"Hmm... the clouds are truly white, the sky truly blue."

"Damn bear, which brainless fool dares to come chatter in front of Old Paper's cave?"

Accompanied by a string of curses, a burly figure slowly walked out of the cave.

This person's beard still had wet blood stuck to it, clearly he hadn't done anything good in the cave before.

Teng Qian's face, which had been wearing an insanely cool, arrogant, domineering, badass expression, vanished as he looked up at the Beastfolk who was a full half-body taller than himself.

Holy shit! Is this a person?

You're wrong, he's a Beastfolk.

Wu Yue took the opportunity to add a supplementary explanation.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, the sound of feet scraping the ground rang out—just moments ago the incredibly brave Teng Qian, who had been ready to take on the cave Beastfolk alone, now stood very humbly to the rear side of Yuan Lang.
