Chapter 650
Sea Snake Great Shaman: "..."
Damn it, is now the time to be discussing hair issues!
"Kuma Great Shaman, your tribe actually has so many magic talismans—how about considering exchanging some for us? We'll trade salt for them."
Sea Eel Great Shaman's eyes lit up, his face showing an enthusiasm never seen before.
The Kuma tribe is great, the Kuma tribe is marvelous; anyone who is at odds with the Sea Snake tribe can unite as any possible force.
Upon receiving the friendly signal from the Sea Eel Great Shaman, the Kuma Great Shaman instantly switched to a simple, honest face: "If there's any surplus, we will definitely consider the Sea Eel tribe first."
The two great shamans exchanged a glance—you know, I know—hehe.
With the magic talismans as a cheat, the Kuma tribe, although they had wins and losses, nevertheless all survived the matches.
This left the Sea Snake tribe, which had originally wanted to give them a good beating in the matches, feeling frustrated.
"All matches at this trade gathering are now over."
The Sea Shark chieftain's voice, wrapped in the mighty Beast God's power, spread throughout the match field and the surrounding encampment.
"In the Beastfolk contest, first, second, and third places go respectively to the Sea Shark tribe, the Sea Snake tribe, and the Sea Eel tribe."
"In the shamans' individual contest ranking, first, second, and third places go respectively to the Sea Shark tribe, the Sea Eel tribe, and the Kuma tribe."
Saying this, the Sea Shark chieftain glanced with appreciation toward the Kuma tribe's direction—this is the first time a land tribe has broken into the top three of the contest.
In the subsequent match rankings, the Kuma tribe's shaman team actually placed second, while the Sea Snake tribe failed to make the top three for two consecutive times, leaving the whole tribe in a bad mood.
The Sea Snake Great Shaman's face was dark and grim, his gaze toward his own tribespeople as if looking at a bunch of useless little things.
"The matches at this trade gathering are over; from now on everyone can trade freely. If any tribe violates the trade rules, the patrol squad will directly take them away and dispose of them."
The Sea Shark Great Shaman's mighty voice reached the ears of everyone present.
While the powerful Beastfolk and great shamans on the high platform were still speaking, the Kuma Great Shaman was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic great shamans, smiling so much his eyes narrowed.
Wu Yue followed behind the healing shaman and directly returned to the Kuma tribe's encampment, into the healing shaman's tent.
Just as they entered the tent, the few people who had originally been calm all at once excitedly let out low roars.
"We actually made it into the top three!"
"I don't know how far we'll be able to go on this ascent of Beast God Mountain."
The healing shaman wiped his reddened, excited old face, looked gratefully at Wu Yue, and said, "This time I really have to thank you for your help."
Even within the tribe's own encampment, the healing shaman was very careful not to call Wu Yue's name.
However, upon hearing that, the several shamans present all turned their gazes to the young female shaman standing there, smiling faintly and murmuring.
"I already have a grudge against the Sea Snake tribe; helping you while killing a few of their shamans is something I'm quite happy to do."
The healing shaman chuckled: "That's your business, but our being able to place in the top three this time is entirely thanks to your help; the Kuma tribe will certainly remember it."
Wu Yue raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly: "Then I'll remember that; if I ever need help, I'll definitely come find you."
"Hahaha! Come on over! We're always welcome to have you visit."
A hearty laugh rang out outside the tent; immediately the tent flap was lifted, and two figures—a tall, sturdy one and a thin, gaunt one—walked in.
It was actually the Kuma Great Shaman.
Wu Yue and everyone else hastily bowed: "We pay our respects, Great Shaman."
The Kuma Great Shaman, in high spirits, walked to the head seat and sat down, waving his hand with a chuckle: "Alright, everyone, have a seat."
"You helped our Kuma tribe achieve a good ranking this time; we will remember your help, and if you ever need anything, just come find us directly—this is my promise to you."
Wu Yue instantly straightened her back, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turning up: "Thank you, Great Shaman."
The Great Shaman's promise—this is simply fantastic.
After the Kuma Great Shaman said a few more words of praise, he left under the protection of the Beastman Warriors.
After agreeing with the healing shaman and the others to ascend Beast God Mountain together, Wu Yue also bade them farewell and returned to her own tent.
Recalling the Sea Snake tribe members she had seen today, none of them were the ones who had previously killed her own tribespeople by the Lin River.
"Could it be that those people didn't come to participate in the trade gathering?"
"Host, host, dear host, are you there?"
A cheap-sounding voice echoed in her mind; Wu Yue rolled her eyes irritably, then opened the system panel.
Sure enough, on the fully modernized system panel, a short, stout Tongzi was constantly bouncing about, trying to draw his host's attention.
"Stop bouncing; the fat on your belly is about to bounce off."
Tongzi: "Do you still want to hear news from Yuan Lang and the others?"
"You dog host, is your mouth fitted with a machine gun? You just go 'tat-tat-tat' and know how to stab at the heart."
Wu Yue, who had been lounging lazily on the animal-skin mat, instantly sat up, her unfamiliar face unable to hide her anxiety: "How are they doing now? Haven't they run into any danger, have they?"
Tongzi rubbed his little nose: "Danger is definitely present, but with the talismans and weapons you prepared, although they've suffered a few minor injuries, they've already safely reached the Polar Forest."
The Beastman Warriors of the Eagle Tribe also helped transport the totem poles together.
The Eagle Tribe chieftain has already sent people to notify the other three tribes; once everyone has completed their upgrades, we will hurry to find you.
Wu Yue also briefly recounted recent events: "I'm safe here; don't worry, handle everything first and then contact me—maybe by the time I get back, I'll already have returned."
After ending the call with Tongzi, Wu Yue's heart instantly felt much lighter.
Thinking of the dangers the healing shaman had said they'd encounter on Beast God Mountain, she narrowed her eyes, took out herbs from the system space, and began to prepare them.
Tribes with higher rankings can ascend Beast God Mountain first; the lower the rank, the later the departure time.
The precious herbs and items hidden on Beast God Mountain, even the Beast God script carved into some stone walls, could possibly be cut away and taken by the tribes that go ahead.
So saying they are going up Beast God Mountain is actually just a super-large melee.
When opposing tribes encounter each other, there will definitely be a fierce battle, and...
When ascending Beast God Mountain, there are no restrictions on methods—even killing is allowed—as long as they can obtain more items and the priceless Beast God script, these tribes will do anything.
Recalling the healing shaman's words: "The herbs and items you obtain are yours; you may copy a piece of the Beast God script to take with you; combat and safety are left to our tribe, but I hope that when you face an unbeatable enemy, you can lend a hand."
