Chapter 704: Arrival of the Sea Eel Clan Chief

Wu Yue nodded: "Mm, the city walls must be built as soon as possible, otherwise fighting the aquatic beastfolk here in Bai Sha Yan Hai, even with big ships, we won't gain any advantage."

As the two were speaking, a beastman warrior from the patrol squad suddenly climbed up the rope ladder: "Shaman Sir, Yuan Lang Sir, a few beastman warriors from the Sea Eel Tribe below request an audience."

"Sea Eel Tribe beastman warriors? Is it that pale-faced beastman who came last time?"

The patrolling beastman frowned: "That pale-faced beastman is here, but I see there's also a middle-aged beastman who appears to have a higher status than that pale-faced beastman."

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow, having already walked to the railing, she lowered her head to look down.

Indeed, a squad of Sea Eel Tribe beastman warriors rode their mounts and stopped on the sea surface, the leading middle-aged beastman warrior...

"Sea Eel Clan Chief..."

Wu Yue murmured softly, although this clan chief had never met her, she had seen him before when she changed her appearance to attend the grand trade fair.

A warm smile appeared on her fair little face, her gaze falling directly on the pale-faced beastman: "Didn't you just leave not long ago? Why are you back again?"

The pale-faced beastman tugged at the corner of his mouth, stepped forward to stand beside the Sea Eel Clan Chief, about to introduce the clan chief to Wu Yue.

But seeing the chief uncle give him a subtle glance, the pale-faced beastman's impending introduction got stuck in his throat.

He cleared his throat twice before continuing: "Recently, all the tribes in Bai Sha Yan Hai have encountered some bad things; I came to see if you, Shaman Yue, need any help, after all you've just arrived here and your numbers are few."

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow, her smile becoming more sincere: "Haha, thanks for your concern; we've had something very important to do lately, even our food is what we brought earlier, so we haven't really contacted the nearby sea tribes, thus we truly don't know what's happened."

Having said that, she turned and ordered the beastman warrior behind her to lower the rope ladder: "Come up to talk; what are you doing standing down there, when did you become so polite?"

The pale-faced beastman looked up at the smiling Shaman Yue above, his heart deeply moved.

Shaman Yue, such a smart person, actually didn't notice the abnormality of the beastmen beside him, nor did she suspect their purpose for coming.

The pale-faced beastman sniffled, for Shaman Yue's trust he would certainly not let the clan chief harm Shaman Yue and the Snow Moon Tribe.

He and his fellow tribesmen climbed aboard the big ship via the rope ladder; the pale-faced beastman had already seen the ship's appearance, but the Sea Eel Clan Chief behind him and the other Sea Eel Tribe beastman warriors all widened their eyes.

Only after scanning every inch of the big ship with their gaze did they withdraw their eyes and turn to look at Wu Yue, who was already seated at the wooden long table.

"Finished looking? Come over and sit."

Wu Yue casually pointed to the other chairs around the wooden table; the pale-faced beastman, already familiar, chose a cool spot and sat down.

In his hand he still held a palm-sized corn cake, munching happily.

The Sea Eel Clan Chief revealed a simple smile: "Thank you, Shaman Yue."

He looked just like an ordinary middle-aged Sea Eel Tribe beastman warrior.

Wu Yue smiled and nodded, not giving him too much attention.

After all, the other party seemed not intending to reveal his identity, and she didn't care.

Turning her head to the pale-faced beastman gnawing on his corn cake, Wu Yue, who had been waiting for him to speak, could no longer hold back, grabbed a nearby bamboo stick, and gave him two sharp smacks—"pa pa".

"You brought so many tribesmen here saying you had something to discuss with me, yet you're just stuffing yourself nonstop."

The Sea Eel Clan Chief and the other Sea Eel Tribe beastman warriors watched Wu Yue's rude treatment of the pale-faced beastman, their eyelids twitching wildly.

"Good grief, this little shaman is in for trouble—who in the tribe doesn't know that the Great Shaman's brat has a terrible temper?"

Just as they were waiting to see the pale-faced beastman lose his temper, they instead saw the beastman known in the tribe for his bad temper chuckle twice and stuff the remaining half of the corn cake into his mouth in one go.

Still composed, he spoke to the little shaman who had just whipped him: "Shaman Yue, your bamboo stick is too thin; whipping with it doesn't hurt at all—next time make it thicker to feel something."

Wu Yue gave a hehe cold laugh: "I think even a thicker one won't make you feel anything; how about next time I wrap the bamboo stick in witchpower and strike?"

The pale-faced beastman's handsome face stiffened; he quickly forced a dry laugh, begging for mercy: "Well, I was just saying, hehe, witchpower is so precious, Shaman Yue, you should keep it."

Wu Yue couldn't be bothered with him, she directly said: "Alright, what major thing happened recently that made you bring so many beastman warriors here for a trip?"

Getting down to business, the pale-faced beastman swept aside his previous frivolity, his face solemn: "Recently, the beastman warriors sent out to hunt by the various tribes of Bai Sha Yan Hai have been disappearing one after another; everyone has searched for a long time but found no clues, so I came to see if the Snow Moon Tribe has any missing beastman warriors."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue's expression instantly turned grave; she sat upright and looked at the pale-faced beastman: "Beastmen missing? Even the super tribes have missing persons?"

The pale-faced beastman nodded: "Our tribe, the Sea Snake Tribe, and the Sea Shark Tribe all have missing beastmen."

The matter of missing beastmen has already made all tribes fearful; everyone is hunting near their own tribes.

But as hunting increases, food is becoming scarcer; we also dare not go farther, fearing more tribesmen will go missing, so now the atmosphere in the Bai Sha Yan Hai sea area is very tense.

"Are there any powerful sea beasts in Bai Sha Yan Hai?"

The pale-faced beastman shook his head: "I don't know; any beastmen who patrol farther out at sea never return, so we still don't know what caused the beastman warriors' disappearances."

Wu Yue fell silent for a moment: "Setting aside big, medium, and small tribes, even your few super tribes are now experiencing missing beastman warriors."

"Those selected for the outgoing hunting squads are generally the strong beastmen of the tribe, right?"

Before the pale-faced beastman could reply, the Sea Eel Clan Chief sitting opposite at the wooden table nodded: "What Shaman Yue said is correct; those who go out to hunt are the strong beastmen of the tribe."

Wu Yue nodded and continued: "What could cause so many strong beastmen to disappear—first, as I said before, there is a very powerful sea beast hunting in Bai Sha Yan Hai, mainly targeting beastman warriors.

Second, there has appeared a dangerous zone unknown to us."
