Chapter 674: Saving People

And behind them, the huge jet-black water beast was still frantically chasing.

Feeling the surging waves behind them growing ever more tumultuous, the beastman team leader gritted his teeth, let out a low roar, veins bulging in his arms, grabbed his companion on his back and hurled him toward the shore.

In that brief pause, the jet-black water beast, already close, finally caught up to him, its maw full of steel teeth lunging viciously at the beastman team leader.

"Come on, let's see who dies first!"

The beastman's roar rumbled, but Wu Yue, standing not far from the riverbank, clearly saw his arm trembling slightly.

After prolonged fighting in the water, having just fled while carrying his companion, and even throwing him back to shore, this beastman's strength was nearly exhausted.

"Ah, host, this beastman is in danger."

Even Tongzi, hidden in the system space, could see the peril this beastman now faced.

"The Kuma Tribe wouldn't just watch their beastman warrior be eaten by that water beast, especially with the Kuma Great Shaman and Kuma Chieftain still around—nothing should happen... Damn it!"

But what happened next made the previously composed Wu Yue lose her composure.

The Kuma Chieftain had led a few beastman warriors out, but after receiving the healing shaman, they instead formed a protective wall, shielding him as they swiftly retreated to the shore.

Meanwhile, the beastman team leader, about to lose strength, could not be attended to because the healing shaman had not yet fully escaped danger.

Seeing this, Wu Yue rose with a solemn expression: "Tongzi, isn't the Kuma Great Shaman ready to act yet?"

Secretly, the plump Tongzi using high-tech on the Kuma Great Shaman shook his round little head: "No, he's intently holding a dark-red stone slab, gazing at it, not diverting any energy outward—perhaps he simply doesn't know."

Moreover, the Kuma Tribe's people hadn't informed him of the danger they encountered here.

Both person and system shook their heads in unison.

"With the Kuma Great Shaman's abilities, if he merely spared a bit of mental power, he could clearly sense the situation here."

Saying this, Wu Yue let out a light sigh, stood up, and painfully produced a talisman: "I still have to repay the protection I've received."

She patted the beastman warrior who had been guarding her side: "That beastman warrior from the front lines just now can barely hold on; let's go help him."

The beastman warrior only stared for a moment, then joyfully shifted into beast form; after Wu Yue mounted, he shot off like an arrow from a bow.

The beastman team leader's peril had long been seen by many tribesmen, but now many strong beastman warriors remained on the opposite bank without returning, while the rest had to guard the remaining shamans.

After barely mustering a few strong enough, before they could even move, a fierce wind swept by; upon seeing clearly, everyone's faces turned pale.

Actually, a beastman warrior dared to rush toward danger with a precious shaman, and that female shaman was none other than Shaman Yue, who had exerted great effort to retrieve the treasure.

"What are you doing! Hurry and bring the shaman sir back!"

"Beast god! This beastman has gone mad."

Amid the crowd's exclamations and howls, the beastman warrior had already brought Wu Yue to behind the beastman team leader.

Everyone only saw Shaman Yue wave her bare hand; a talisman they knew well flashed to the beastman team leader's head, and the jet-black water beast's steel teeth went 'crack!' as they bit into a transparent shield.
