Chapter 686: Preparing to Depart

Ideals are plentiful, reality is meager; although Wu Yue wanted to make more ample preparations, a few days later the arrival of the Sea Eel Tribe's beastman warriors disrupted her plans.

Looking at the blue, curly-haired beastman warrior before her, Wu Yue's expression rarely grew grave: "Is the Sea Snake Tribe intending to completely break with your Sea Eel Tribe?"

Upon mention of the Sea Snake Tribe, the curly-haired beastman gritted his teeth: "The damned Long Worm Tribe must be holding a grudge against us over the trade fair."

They haven't launched a tribal war, but they repeatedly organize beastmen to attack our captain's territory, and many of our beastman warriors have already been wounded.

The captain's strength isn't the strongest in the tribe, and many of his territories were also allotted to him by the Great Shaman.

Normally everyone out of respect for the Great Shaman doesn't provoke the captain, but the Sea Snake Tribe's long worms don't care about that, so the captain's perseverance is very arduous.

The Great Shaman already knows, and has already sent the chief to negotiate with the Sea Snake Tribe about this.

When I left, the captain had me tell you that the Sea Snake Tribe will give us some compensation and remain quiet for a while, but they won't stay peaceful for long.

This is the captain's territory, so he hopes you and your clansmen can come sooner, and together we'll deal with those long worms of the Sea Snake Tribe.

The curly-haired one wrinkled his face into a bitter gourd expression: "Shaman Sir, if you don't go over, our captain probably won't be able to hold out much longer."

This territory is relatively remote, so the tribe has no objection to the captain giving it to you, but other territories might not be so agreeable, so we must strive to hold onto this territory.

Upon hearing this, a flash of realization crossed Wu Yue's eyes as she coldly snorted: "Perhaps the Sea Snake Tribe also knows this, which is why they keep coming to attack you; they likely want to wear down the strength of that pale-faced beastman."

The curly-haired beastman: "..."

You call the captain a pale-faced beastman to my face—doesn't the captain care about saving face?

Since the matter is already urgent and imminent, Wu Yue immediately rose and ordered everyone to speed up preparations.

At the Shaman Sir's command, the whole tribe sprang into action.

After instructing the several chiefs of the Lin He Ling Di territory and the few left-behind Teng Qian and Teng Kun, Wu Yue set out with the Polar Forest beastman warriors who had come this time and the curly-haired beastman and their party.

The curly-haired beastman had his hands on the shore, his gaze toward Wu Yue and them tinged with a hint of doubt.

Shaman Sir, aren't you crossing the river?

The young beastman, likely not long past adulthood, still had a clear foolishness in his eyes.

Wu Yue smiled and waved her hand: "You'll find out soon enough."

After the sun had fully risen from the other side of the mountain, the Sea Eel Tribe's beastman warriors, who were about to fall asleep from waiting, finally heard a dull dragging sound coming from the forest.

He rubbed his eyes, which were about to produce sleepy discharge, and the curly-haired beastman stretched his neck to look in the direction the sound came from.

But the next second, the huge beast that dozens of males were pushing forward as it emerged from the forest made him involuntarily open his mouth wide.

"What... what kind of monster is this!"

Watching the "big thing" being pushed forward by dozens of muscular, vein-bulging, teeth-clenching males, moving only slightly forward at a slow pace, the curly-haired beastman and the Sea Eel Tribe's beastman warriors beside him unconsciously showed expressions of terror.

Wu Yue directed the males waiting at the forest's edge to place log after log on the path ahead of the huge beast.
