Chapter 694: with translation of chapter title

The handsome Beastfolk's face instantly turned bun-red: 'Given our relationship, if I could give you anything better, I wouldn't hand over this territory to you.'

Little White Face Beastman

However, our Snow Moon Tribe has only just arrived at Bai Sha Yan Hai, so we're not yet familiar with this place; therefore, I hope you'll help us out more if anything comes up.

Upon hearing this, the handsome Beastfolk's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded in promise: 'Rest assured, as long as it doesn't involve betraying the tribe, feel free to ask me for any help.'

Wu Yue heard this and smiled even more brightly: 'Since you say that, I won't stand on ceremony—I really do have something I need your help with.'

I heard you have your own territory—are there also Half-Beasts and pure humans living there?

You can see that we've just arrived here and haven't brought many of our people; we want to build some tents and houses.

I hope you can dispatch some people from your territory to come help us.

Of course, during the time you work for our tribe, we will prepare all food and supplies, and when you leave I will also give you some food as a token of thanks.

Pale-faced Beastman: "..."

How should I put it? I just feel that everything before was just laying the groundwork for some words.

But when it came to borrowing people to work, the pale-faced Beastman agreed without any hesitation.

Life in their seafolk tribes is much harsher than on land; Half-Beast Warriors and pure humans who cannot freely hunt in the water can only survive by scavenging limited resources along the seashore.

But similarly, competition is also fierce, and many people choose to work for the Beastman Warriors in the tribe and for clansmen who possess resources, in order to exchange for food to live.

Therefore, what each seafolk tribe lacks the least is people who can work.

Especially as the upcoming winter approaches, those slaves who cannot work merely consume food for nothing.

Many seafolk tribes in the Bai Sha Yan Hai lose many Half-Beast Warriors and pure humans every winter.

No need to send them back; I see you've brought only Beastman Warriors—these odd jobs aren't fit for them. I'll give you some Half-Beast and pure human slaves; from now on they'll be your property, do with them as you please.

The pale-faced Beastman spoke generously; thinking of sending off a batch of slaves who would soon be eating white rice in winter, his mood was also quite cheerful.

Wu Yue sighed in her heart for these slaves living at the bottom of the beast world, but she also knew this was the result of labor and resource allocation.

Every society has its own rules, and all she can do is, after these slaves are sent over, treat them as well as she can within her abilities.

"Um, Shaman Yue..."

The pale-faced Beastman rubbed his hands, humming and hawing, looking at Wu Yue with a hesitant expression.

Seeing his constipated look, Wu Yue pursed her lips and said, "Just say what you need to say; I'll do my best to help within my abilities."

Although he didn't know what 'doing one's best' meant, the pale-faced Beastman still said with a delighted face, "Um... can I tell my father and the clan chief about this big boat of your tribe?"

After all, such a massive shaman stopped on the sea surface will definitely be spotted by our tribe's patrolling beastmen.

Wu Yue waved her hand indifferently: "Of course; since I've brought it here, I naturally have nothing to fear from being discovered."

After all, I'll still need it to show off later.

Meanwhile, in the encampment of the Sea Snake tribe, the air inside the tent of the Sea Snake Great Shaman was especially tense.

The Sea Snake Great Shaman seated at the head ate the precious land fruit offered by the lower tribes, which was highly valued by the seafolk tribes, and gazed coldly at the sea snake clan chief below, whose complexion was dark and bluish.

"Here on this territory, we were defeated by a small land tribe, and yet you have the nerve to come back and complain—hmph!"

He threw the fruit pit from his mouth onto the slave kneeling not far away, and only then did the Sea Snake Great Shaman sit up straight.

"You said that terrifying attack—was it emitted by that huge water beast, or by the shaman of the Snow Moon tribe?"

Faced with the powerful Sea Snake Great Shaman, the Sea Snake clan chief no longer dared to keep a deadpan face, and hurriedly replied respectfully, "That beam of light was too blinding; I couldn't see clearly."

However, the little shaman of the Snow Moon tribe isn't that strong, so the terrifying attack definitely wasn't from her; therefore, the greater likelihood is that it came from that powerful water beast.

As his words fell, the Sea Snake Great Shaman seated at the highest position let out a mocking scoff: "You really are simple-minded; don't you forget how the Snow Moon tribe got involved with the Kuma tribe of the Yun Wu Shan Mai?"

The Sea Snake clan chief's pupils contracted and his body straightened abruptly: "Great Shaman, are you saying that the attack was neither from the little shaman of the Snow Moon tribe nor from that huge water beast, but rather a powerful magic sigil?"

"Damn it, just how powerful is the tribe behind the Snow Moon tribe, capable of producing such a terrifying magic sigil?"

If I hadn't run fast during that previous attack, I probably wouldn't be able to come back today to see you.

Hearing his words, the Sea Snake Great Shaman gave a cold chuckle: "If you can't come back, I'll just replace you as clan chief; hurry up and send tribesmen out to gather intelligence."

"If such a powerful shaman sigil were used only by this small tribe itself, that would be fine, but if they also want to trade it with the Eel tribe..."

His ever gloomy eyes were deep and profound, gazing toward the Sea Eel Tribe's territory with intense greed.

"You mean, those damned fellows of the Sea Eel Tribe want to trade for this powerful shamanic talisman to attack our Sea Snake Tribe?"

Looking at the brawny, brainless beastfolk beside him, the Sea Snake Great Shaman's grim face also flickered with a hint of helplessness.

But thinking that this was the chieftain he himself had chosen, he still secretly sighed.

"Hurry up and assign people to gather intel; if you can't figure it out, just follow my orders."

The Sea Snake Chieftain also knew his own wit wasn't great, but he was strong and obedient, so he didn't mind the Sea Snake Great Shaman's unfriendly tone, and obediently bowed and retreated.

"Sea Eel Tribe, oceanic resources are limited, and the distance between our two tribes is so close; I merely want to obtain a bit more food and supplies, and I believe you will understand."

While the Sea Snake Tribe was discussing the large ship and a powerful assault, the pale-faced Beastfolk had already returned to the Sea Eel Tribe's encampment.

The usually carefree pale-faced Beastfolk did not return to his own dwelling, but instead headed straight to his father's residence.
