Chapter 597

At this moment, the Maji clan chief with blood-red eyes was pressed to the ground, the animal hides covering his body being stripped away piece by piece, causing this Beastman Warrior who had always held a high position in the Linhe Forest to feel his head buzzing.

A Mu – original term: A Mu

He strained to lift his blood-red eyes, etching the faces of these Beastfolk around him one by one into his vision.

As his inner humiliation was about to reach its peak, a Beastfolk who had been waving the hide from his body suddenly let out a miserable cry, clutched his forehead, and fell seated on the ground.

Before Maji could recover from his stupor, Beastfolk around him began covering different parts of their bodies and wailing, one after another.

Even the extremely arrogant triangular-eyed one gloomily covered his bleeding palm and hid behind a tree trunk.

The Beastman Warrior who had just been wantonly bullying them, seeing their clan chief hide behind a tree, also hurriedly each sought a tree trunk to hide behind.

Beastfolk – original term: Beastfolk

The triangular-eyed Beastfolk glanced at the speaking tribesman: "If they are truly Beastfolk from the or vine tribe's territory, we will find a chance to kill them and bring them back together for the elders of the Kuma tribe."

Dongsang Clan Chief – original term: Chief of the Dong Sang clan

Because of that recent attack, in this forest only the breathing sounds of the two groups—the Dong Sang clan chief's and the Maji clan chief's—remained, along with the rustling of them struggling to sit up.

Triangle Eye (as nickname for individual) – original term: Triangle Eye

Triangle Eye Tribe – original term: Triangle Eye Tribe

The Maji clan chief took the hide handed over by the Dong Sang clan chief and put it on, his face showing a fierce cold smile: "I didn't see it, but which tribe doesn't matter; as long as we can kill the members of the tribe of those damned triangular-eyed Beastfolk, that's enough."

Healing Shaman – original term: Healing Shaman

"How can the Yun Wu Shan Mai have so many disgusting bugs? Every time I see them I want to pinch them all to death."

Poison Shaman Sir – original term: Poison Shaman Sir

Lin River Forest – original term: Lin River Forest

Seeing their clan chief in this state, the surrounding tribespeople all scratched their heads in puzzlement: "Chief, what's wrong with you?"

But the two clan chiefs did not answer the tribespeople's words, because at this moment a group of people appeared in their sight.

Looking at that familiar figure riding on the body of a giant beast, the Maji clan chief and the Dong Sang clan chief only felt their noses sour, quite like the feeling of seeing their own A Mu after having suffered injustice abroad.

Huo Teng Tribe – original term: Huo Teng Tribe

Huo Teng Territory – original term: Huo Teng Territory

Check if any other: "Huo Teng Tribe Territory" we already have as separate tribe and territory; but we could also list "Huo Teng Tribe Territory" as a combined term. However we already have tribe and territory separately; the combined term is just tribe + territory. Might be redundant but we could include it as a named entity if appears exactly. It appears line 8 and 9 as "Huo Teng Territory" and "Huo Teng Tribe Territory". Actually line 8: "Huo Teng Territory". line 9: "Huo Teng Tribe Territory". So we have both "Huo Teng Territory" and "Huo Teng Tribe Territory". We should list "Huo Teng Tribe Territory" as well. Let's add:

A piercing wail rose beside him: "Shaman Yue Sir, the tribes of Yun Wu Shan Mai are bullying us! They not only keep looting our belongings, but they even want to strip the hides off our bodies—you must give us justice, wuu…"

The East Sang clan chief felt his whole body go numb; looking at the beastman beside him sniveling and tearing up, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

That beastman who just faced the Three‑Eyed tribe, refusing to yield no matter what, with a mouth tougher than the river's quacking beast—surely that isn't you, is it?

The Ma Ji clan chief's move shattered the resentment he had been brewing.

He rubbed his nose, and the East Sang clan chief suddenly felt that the Ma Ji clan chief, wiping snot and tears, was emanating a strange glow.

Wu Yue: "…"

Why do I suddenly feel like I've found a fine son…

She slapped away that terrifying illusion, shivered involuntarily—she certainly didn't have a son much bigger than herself.

Her fair little hand waved lightly, and a thick strand of shamanic power wrapped the two bruised‑faced tribespeople.

Warm, strange energy slowly seeped into their bodies; in just a few breaths, the pain everyone felt disappeared.

Even their injuries had improved considerably.

The East Sang and Ma Ji clan chiefs hurriedly led their people to rise and bow: "Thank you, Shaman Yue Sir, for your grace."

Wu Yue nodded, then her cool little glance flicked toward the Three‑Eyed tribespeople still hiding behind the trees: "Come out—those little trees can't stop your sturdy frames."

The Three‑Eyed beastman looked at his own sturdy body, then at the sapling before him only half as thick as his torso: "…"

He slowly stepped out from behind the tree and looked at the few people who had just arrived.

Seeing their clan chief come out, the Three‑Eyed tribespeople each emerged from their hiding places behind the trees.

When Teng Qian saw several figures nearby holding huge hides, his eyes lit up several notches.

Those items alone could fill at least half of their hide bags.

By then the Three‑Eyed beastman had gotten a clear look at the newcomers, especially when he saw Wu Yue seated on the giant beast—his heart skipped.

He suddenly recalled the message the Shaman Sir had sent the Beastman Sirs to deliver before the tribal competition.

The Snow Moon tribe of the Lin River tribe, a powerful shaman…

After a moment's hesitation, he stepped forward a few paces, bowed toward Wu Yue and asked, "May I ask if you and your people are from the Snow Moon tribe of the Lin River Forest?"

Wu Yue, who was about to release the beastman, blinked, frowned at the Three‑Eyed beastman, and said, "You know us?"

Hearing that, even Teng Qian, who had already planned how to seize the loot, stopped his swaying, frowned, and looked at the Three‑Eyed beastman.

Seeing that this shaman was truly the Snow Moon tribe beastman the Shaman Sir had spoken of, the Three‑Eyed beastman lowered his waist even more.

"When we set out for the tribal competition, we received the Shaman Sir's order: upon encountering the shaman and people of the Snow Moon tribe in the Lin River Forest, we must be respectful and friendly.

"We are a tribe living in the territory of the poison shaman Sir of the Ku Ma tribe."

Poison shaman?

"Is he the poison shaman who's on the same team as the healing shaman sir?"

Seeing that they actually knew the healing shaman sir, the Three‑Eyed beastman lowered his waist a bit more: "Yes, Wu Yue sir."

Although the other side was clearly a tribe of the healing shaman sir's faction, their behavior made her feel disgusted; thinking that this Three‑Eyed beastman claimed to be from the poison shaman's territory…

Wu Yue couldn't help but curl her lips—quite a fitting pair.

"Although you belong to the healing shaman sir's faction, your tribe keeps bullying ours in the Lin River Forest—this can't be settled with just a few words from you; even if the healing shaman sir is here, I'll make him give me an explanation."

It was indeed the other side's repeated calls of 'lowly wretches' that made her loathe them utterly.
