Chapter 707

Several Beastman Warriors walked back to their dwellings, and the voices of tribespeople discussing could be heard around them.

"Captain, it looks like another Beastman Warrior from a small tribe has gone missing."

"Hey, never mind them; those small tribes barely have any Beastman Warriors to begin with, and after losing two batches, this tribe is probably done for."

The Beastman Warriors behind him chattered about the small tribe whose Beastman Warriors had gone missing, while the young Beastman walking ahead slowed his steps more and more until he stopped.

No one saw it, but his usually bright, smiling eyes were now filled with gloomy malice; only when the Beastmen behind him were about to reach his side did he close his eyes and suppress the rising hostility in his heart.

He opened his eyes again, now tinged with worry, and patted the shoulder of the Beastman Warrior beside him: "You go back first; I'll ask which tribe's Beastmen have gone missing this time. Anyway, we still need to go out and search—let's help these small tribes."

Having said that, he turned and walked toward the tribespeople who had been chatting earlier: "What's the name of that small tribe you just mentioned? We'll be searching the outer seas for missing Beastmen these days, so we might as well help you find yours."

The Half-Beast Warriors and pure humans who had been nervous at the sight of the Beastman Warriors approaching relaxed when they saw the newcomer was a young Beastman, and said in unison: "Beastman Sir, this small tribe's territory lies in the Sea Eel Tribe's sea domain, and the Sea Eel Tribe isn't on good terms with us—do you still want to help them find their missing Beastman Warriors?"

The young Beastman wore a sympathetic expression: "These small tribes originally had few Beastman Warriors, and now they've lost two batches in a row; food will likely become a problem for this tribe, and the ones suffering are the tribespeople and the young."

This Beastman disappearance is an affair of the entire Bai Sha Yan Hai; we must unite all our strength to find the missing Beastmen.

Otherwise, more Beastman Warriors will keep disappearing, and even our Sea Serpent Tribe could one day lose all of its Beastman Warriors.

The surrounding Half-Beast Warriors and pure humans all sucked in a breath of cold air; thinking of the consequence of losing all Beastman Warriors, the smiles vanished from everyone's faces.

"It's a small tribe called the Snow Moon Tribe that came from the land; I heard the Sea Eel Tribe gave them a tiny piece of territory."

Upon hearing the name Snow Moon Tribe, the young Beastman's smile almost broke, the curve of his lips stiffening immensely.

"Alright, I understand; you go about your business."

After saying that simply, he turned and hurriedly walked out of the tribe.

"Hey, they're all the chieftain's children, but this one never bullies us relying on his status; he's kind to us Half-Beast Warriors and pure humans, and the Beastman Warriors in the tribe all support him—I hear he's also quite strong."

Sea Eel Tribe's encampment.

Wu Yue lounged in the Beastman with the white face's hide tent, occasionally biting into the roasted fish in her hand, eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

The white-faced Beastman sat opposite her, full of worry: "Shaman Yue, your tribe came with hardly any people this time, and now so many Beastman Warriors have gone missing—how can you still eat so leisurely? Aren't you worried?"

Wu Yue licked the grease off her claws and let out a soft sigh: "I'm worried—how could I not be? But even your super-tribes haven't turned up anything about the Beastmen disappearances, and I have hardly anyone with me, so I can only hope you'll help."

The white-faced Beastman: "..."

Seeing him scrunch up his handsome face, Wu Yue couldn't help but let out a light laugh.

The white-faced Beastman's face scrunched even more: "You can actually still laugh?"

As the two were speaking, powerful footsteps sounded outside the tent, and the Beastman Warrior guarding outside the hide tent respectfully called out: "Chieftain Sir."

The low-pitched middle-aged Beastman gave a soft hum: "I heard the shaman of the Snow Moon Tribe has come?"

The Beastman nodded: "Yes, he's inside, and the captain is there too."

At the moment they heard the Sea Eel Chieftain's voice, Wu Yue and the white-faced Beastman rose to their feet.

The white-faced Beastman hurried to the edge of the tent, lifted the hide flap, and said: "Uncle Chieftain, please come in quickly."

The Sea Eel Chieftain strode into the tent, and upon seeing the petite female inside, his hearty laugh burst forth instantly: "Shaman Yue, I never expected to see you again so soon."

Facing the Sea Eel Chieftain's friendliness, Wu Yue's lips curved into a sincere smile: "Last time the chieftain visited the Snow Moon Tribe, I didn't properly entertain you; next time you have the chance to come, I'll surely prepare the Snow Moon Tribe's special food to welcome you."

After exchanging pleasantries, the Sea Eel Chieftain finally got to the point.

"Shaman Yue, did you discover something? That's why your own tribe's Beastman Warriors are also going missing."

The middle-aged Beastman's deep eyes flashed with the light of wisdom.

Wu Yue chuckled lightly: "As expected of the chieftain sir, you've figured it out."

Beside her, the white-faced Beastman looked at Wu Yue with a shocked expression: "Shaman Yue, is the Beastman disappearance in Bai Sha Yan Hai really your doing?"

Wu Yue rolled her eyes impatiently: "The Snow Moon Tribe's Beastman Warriors going missing is my doing, but the other tribes' Beastman Warriors disappearing has nothing to do with me."

The white-faced Beastman felt his head buzzing: "This one you did, that one you didn't—what's the difference? Is it really you or not?"

He felt his head was about to explode.

Wu Yue gave the white-faced Beastman a sympathetic glance, not knowing how the Sea Eel Grand Shaman, so clever, could have produced such a 'simple' offspring—could this child have taken after his A Mu?

She simply stopped paying attention to him and turned again to the seated Sea Eel Chieftain: "We can now be fairly certain that the Beastman disappearances in Bai Sha Yan Hai are man-made."

Her expression grew grave: "These people have used the commotion similar to the Beast God's Wrath generated by our quarrying of the cliff walls to make each tribe's Beastman Warriors 'disappear,' yet they uniquely spared our Snow Moon Tribe, clearly intending to pin this on us."

Then they gradually shifted the search range toward the Snow Moon Tribe, using the Beast God's Wrath incident to pin us down.

And those who are doing these things are surely still hard at work alongside many tribespeople, searching for the missing persons.

Beside her, the white-faced Beastman's mouth opened slightly: "Wow, does Bai Sha Yan Hai still have such clever folks?"

With such a useful brain, why not contribute to the tribe instead of kidnapping Beastman Warriors?

"What is Shaman Yue's purpose in coming this time?"

Wu Yue gave a light smile, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes: "Of course it's to cut off the enemy's retreat; I want to see what other tricks they have."
