Chapter 634

Wu Yue looked at the male not far away who had just been rescued: "Describe what that vine looks like."

The vine that attacks people—she had been in this world for so long, yet she had never actually seen a vine that lives in water and kills people.

The male's face was slightly pale, fear still lingering in his pupils: "The vine is entwined with many green water plants; occasionally, when it flashes by, you can still see some patterns on the vine itself. The part extending from the river is very thick, but it gets thinner toward the end. When it attacks us, it's very agile, like a water beast."

A cold light flashed in Wu Yue's eyes and vanished: "Did you see clearly that it was a vine?"

Upon her question, the male was visibly stunned; moments later his face turned deathly pale: "I only saw water plants entwined on it, so I thought it was a vine, but... but if it isn't a vine, what water beast's tail could be that long?"

It stretched out from the water, lashing the bodies of those patrolling the forest edge, and even pierced through the bodies of several tribespeople.

Wu Yue lightly pursed her lips: "Let's go take a look first."

Unless this vine has gained sentience, they say after the founding of the country, spirits are not allowed to form; there is no country here, so could it really have spawned some sort of demon?

But thinking of the Sea Snake Tribe that had recently parted on bad terms with her own tribe, she still felt a hint of suspicion.

Although she didn't think the Beastman Warriors of the Super Tribe would be so petty as to kill her tribe's people for revenge.

But several shamans said the Sea Snake Tribe had never been good-tempered, and even its reputation within the Super Tribe wasn't great.

Not far from the riverbank, looking at the heavily casualties patrol squad before her, Wu Yue felt as if a fire had been ignited in her heart.

Her shamanic healing ability is limited; the surviving tribespeople are severely injured, and she cannot heal them all at once.

"Tongzi, bring two healing talismans."

The life-force-filled shamanic energy enveloped the entire patrol squad's tribespeople; the horrible wounds on those near death began to heal at a visible speed, and after just a few breaths they all recovered and woke up.

From the tribespeople they learned of the 'vine' attacking them in the river; each person saw something different, and some even said it was a Beastman Warrior with long arms.

"Wuyue, listening to these males, I think it's more likely to be a Beastman Warrior."

Kulo, who had come along, suddenly spoke.

Wu Yue looked grimly into the distance: "Just go see and you'll know."

Thinking of something, she looked at Kulo, who was about to step forward to go with her: "Don't go first; if those really are Beastman Warriors, sensing your aura approaching, they probably won't easily show themselves."

After all, Kulo's powerful aura is very noticeable to Beastman Warriors who also cultivate the power of the Beast God.

She waved her hand, signaling the tribespeople to stay put; with a thought, Wu Yue silently activated a barrier talisman as her shamanic power surged.

The invisible barrier surrounded her entirely, but the Beastfolk hiding in the river could not be seen at all.

What she didn't know was that, at this moment, several huge, winding creatures lay coiled at the bottom of the surging Forest River; their powerful pressure emanating from their bodies instantly cleared this stretch of river, so no water creature dared to move there.

Their winding, sturdy bodies sometimes moved in the river water, and their pairs of cold eyes were full of cruelty and ferocity.

"This little river, I can't freely swim in it; if it weren't to vent anger for the captain, I wouldn't have come."

A giant python flicked its crimson tongue, its cold eyes full of impatience.

Its massive snake head turned toward its bulkier companion: "We've already killed so many; maybe we should head back soon. I miss the taste of Sea Turtle Clan hatchlings—I haven't had any in ages, I'm practically drooling."

As he spoke, the edge of his constantly flicking tongue even secreted some green viscous fluid, which was diluted by the Forest River water and flowed downstream with the current.

Downstream, unseen by anyone, the man-eating fish that had just been about to rush up to bite a wild beast that fell into the river suddenly turned belly-up for no reason, and the water surface was covered with dense fish corpses.

The wild beast, about to meet its death, momentarily stunned, then let out a joyful neigh, its four hooves scrambling as it struggled onto a lower bank.

It shook off its wet fur, then let out a triumphant howl at the distant man-eating fish corpses floating in the river, then trotted away happily.

Meanwhile, the leader of the giant pythons that had been complaining and transmitting messages suddenly raised its huge snake head, its cold vertical pupils scanning the surrounding tribespeople, and several pythons instantly held their breath upon seeing this.

After the leading python lifted its head for a moment, its tongue extended, transmitting information to several nearby tribespeople.

"A very weak aura is approaching the riverbank; from the aura emanating from its body, this weak shamanic power probably isn't even that of a shaman."

"Could this be the shaman of the small tribe that the captain mentioned?"

The leading python's eyes were cold and cruel: "Regardless, kill it first and talk later."

Just as his words fell, the python that had previously complained of boredom and wanted to eat sea turtle hatchlings let out a roar, its thick tail shooting out of the water in a flash, aiming at the only direction with living creatures.

Its swift speed gave the feeling that one would be pierced in an instant.
