Chapter 659: Cool to the Heart, Spirits Soaring

~10 min read 1,837 words

Is it stupid of me? Or is it stupid of me?

This question doesn't even need answering.

The healing shaman was quite adept, waving his dry claws: "Then you'll handle those long worms of the sea snake tribe."

Wu Yue's lips curled into a shy arc as she put the round object in her hand away, her slender white hand opening to reveal a small bump on the skin of her fair fingertip.

The next moment, a bluish, dull little insect the size of a water droplet appeared on that finger.

The two mini antennae on top rubbed affectionately against the female shaman's finger.

If it could speak, it would surely call out "master" softly twice to act cute.

Wu Yue stroked the soft body of the layer upon layer of little poison insects, her clear, gentle voice ordering: "First suppress them."

As that voice fell, the chubby little poison insect merely twitched its mini antennae, and the people of the shark tribe and sea snake tribe felt the nausea that wanted to vomit out their five viscera quickly dissipate.

Watching the two tribe beastman warriors who had just punched the polar forest and stepped on the Bai Sha Yan Hai now lie dead-dog-like on the ground full of vomit, gasping for breath.

The people of the Kuma tribe and the eel tribe felt as if they had drunk a sip of snow water in the scorching summer, feeling cool inside and their hearts soaring.

As the poison insects' influence was gradually suppressed, the beast god power that had just been unfelt again filled every part of the body.

The shark beastman captain stood up, lowered his head to look at the female shaman smiling faintly inside the barrier.

"We agreed on compensation for salt; shouldn't you take out the poison insects from our bodies?"

Wu Yue tilted her head: "You're so capable; if you take them out, will you harm us?"

"Besides, our Kuma tribe and eel tribe people are already injured; on Beast God Mountain there are still many strong teams. When we compete for the beast god text stone wall, we are at a disadvantage.

As compensation, your shark tribe and sea snake tribe must help us fight."

The shark beastman captain's face darkened: "Help you seize the beast god text stone wall—what about us?"

"Naturally, let you get nothing—isn't that what you just said?"

"You!"

The shark beastman captain seethed with anger.

Wu Yue's smile vanished instantly, her cold little face taking on a hint of killing intent: "Letting you live is already generous; I'm not afraid to kill you."

"I'm a poison witch; I have plenty of ways to make you die without knowing it."

The beginning was strong, the ending sloppy.

The shark tribe and sea snake tribe beastmen walked black-faced along the mountain path, the precious items and herbs they gathered all went without omission into the beast-hide bags of the Kuma tribe and eel tribe people behind them.

Really annoying.

"Isn't it a bit bad to squeeze them like this?"

The healing shaman edged close to Wu Yue, looking at the eyes of the shark tribe people ahead with strong wariness.

"We haven't killed them; what's wrong with that?"

Wu Yue glanced at him lazily, sitting on a beastman's back idly picking her nails.

Healing shaman: "..."

You're so arrogant, feeling your leadership position in the team is already precarious.

Kuma tribe people: "..."

You're clueless; what leadership position do you still have, huh?

Feeling the gazes of the surrounding tribespeople, the healing shaman turned back darkly, but only saw a circle of backs of heads.

Good grief, you really get the beast to go high and play it.

"Shark captain, are we just going to be pressed down by a female like this?"

The giant python captain muttered resentfully.

The shark beastman captain coldly glanced at him: "Our shark tribe's trip to Beast God Mountain this time gained nothing, but as long as we can get out alive, that's enough."

Thinking of the female shaman's icy gaze earlier, the shark beastman captain's look at the giant python captain gained a few more degrees of sympathy: "Your life matters."

After saying that, he no longer spoke to the giant python captain, leading the shark tribe people behind him to gather herbs energetically.

Finish early, go back early—this ascent of Beast God Mountain really is suffocating.

The giant python captain watched the retreating shark beastman captain, suddenly feeling a strong unease well up in his heart.

He turned to glance at the female leisurely sitting on the beastman's back; for some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity.

But when he focused his gaze again, that face was clearly a stranger's.

He shook his head to dispel the chaotic thoughts, the giant python captain sighed resentfully, gestured for the giant python beastmen behind him to follow, and quickened his pace of herb gathering.

Wu Yue touched the milky little poison insect on her finger, her narrowed eyes looking at the back of the giant python beastman ahead, the corner of her mouth curling into a cold arc.

Four top-tier super tribe teams, although the previous battles and chases wasted some time, still caught up with the many super tribe teams ahead after marching at full speed.

"Run fast, it's the shark tribe and sea snake tribe teams."

The various tribe teams scattered along the mountain road; upon seeing the leading shark tribe and sea snake tribe teams, the two teams that had previously obtained the beast god text stone wall instantly broke out in a cold sweat on their backs.

They dashed into the mountain forest.

Their tribe had finally managed to snag a piece of beast god text stone wall; they absolutely must not let it be taken.

The shark beastman captain and the giant python team tried to slack off when a familiar rustling sound suddenly came from their ears.

Everyone's bodies shuddered, they let out a low roar, and split off to chase in the directions the two tribes were leaving.

"If you don't come back by lunchtime, I'll just let the poison insects start eating."

Start eating...

Start eating what?

The people of the two tribes tightened their buttocks and ran even faster.

【(Vicious Female)】

So saying, the beastfolk's strength is truly uneven, and without intimidation there is no progress. Wu Yue just opened the lid of the bamboo can holding food, and the people of the shark tribe trickled back.

The leading Shark Beastman captain gritted his teeth and hurled a beast‑god inscription stone slab as large as his upper torso at the waiting Kuma Tribe beastman warrior nearby, then clenched his face, leaned against a tree, and went to catch his breath.

"Hehe, that bunch of damned things actually dare to run, wasting my time; I'll kill a few of their kin to vent my anger."

A violent voice rang out in the forest, and several Beastman Warriors of the Sea Snake Tribe also came back carrying a beast‑god inscription stone slab, which was still stained with scarlet blood.

Wu Yue's smile faded, and her gaze toward the Sea Snake Beastman grew several degrees colder.

Noticing this, the Shark Beastman captain narrowed his eyes, his gaze toward the few Giant Python Beastmen thick with mockery.

A bunch of clueless fools — if they die, they had it coming.

The Healing Shaman glanced at the female on the Beastman Warrior's back, saw her lazily lowering her head, gave no reaction, then waved his hand and said, "Keep going."

Along the way, the beast‑god inscription stone slabs appeared several more times, all of which were taken into possession by the Kuma Tribe and the Sea Eel Tribe.

Soon, the news of the four super tribes' alliance spread throughout the forests of Beast God Mountain.

On the road, whenever they encountered other super-tribe troops, those troops would flee at the first sight of this powerful force.

"Dog Host, you ready to kill those Giant Python Beastmen?"

The System's voice suddenly rang in her ear, and Wu Yue gave an affirmative hum in her mind.

"These damned things are too bloodthirsty; they don't treat the lives of other tribes' members as lives. No wonder, when they slaughtered our tribe's people back then, they didn't even blink."

Tongzi poked her round little head: 'Well, I was just saying, our combat power at the coastal sub‑tribe is still insufficient; we could control these big guys and use them as muscle.'

Wuyue: "I've thought of this too, but our combat power is still too low, and that territory is right next to the Sea Snake Tribe; if they saw us enslaving their beastmen, the consequences... hehe."

Tongzi gave a dry laugh: 'Haha... well, never mind.'

His childish little voice shifted, suddenly gaining a few degrees of seriousness: 'Host, you must be careful when you ascend Beast God Mountain this time; I feel waves of invisible pressure coming from the peak, and even my system's operation is slightly lagging.'

Wuyue: Her body straightened abruptly, and the beastman warrior beneath her feet halted instantly: "Shaman, any orders?"

The beastman replied respectfully.

Wuyue: "It's fine, let's keep going."

In her mind, however, a frantic scream rang out: "Dog System, why the hell didn't you say so earlier!"

Tongzi shrank her head timidly: "It's not like I just discovered it; why are you being so fierce, humph~"

Wuyue: She turned her head, looking at the Healing Shaman swaying her body as she followed the beastman forward, and said: "Shaman."

The Healing Shaman, who was about to become a Grand Shaman in his dream, heard the familiar shout in his ear, while the divine circle that would have marked his breakthrough to Grand Shaman gradually drifted away, and his eye rims instantly reddened.

"Don't go, don't go!"

Wuyue:...

【(Complex gaze)(Full face sympathy)(Heartfelt guilt)】

Was I the one who interrupted the Healing Shaman's reunion with his lover?

Who would have thought that the Healing Shaman, who has been single since birth, actually harbors an unattainable white moonlight in his heart.

Look at those little red eyes — so wronged they could die.

"Cough cough, Shaman~"

The familiar voice came through crystal clear; the awakened Healing Shaman deeply sighed, turned his head to look at Wu Yue, his eyes filled with endless resentment.

Just a little more, just a tiny bit more and he would have become a Grand Shaman...

"Well, we've already collected plenty of precious items; later, at dinner, first separate out my share and give it to me—I have use for it."

No more nonsense—sell them to the System Mall, exchange for more points to get some stuff; that's the real deal.

The Healing Shaman opened his mouth to ask, but suddenly thought of the mystery of the Shaman Moon and the Huaxia Tribe behind her, and swallowed the words he was about to utter.

He nodded directly: "Fine, do you need the beastman warriors to help you move anything somewhere?"

Wuyue: "Naturally needed."
