Chapter 711
Several grand shamans and chieftains furrowed their brows upon hearing this.
The grand shamans and chieftains of the three super tribes of Bai Sha Yan Hai are all here; does the Eel Grand Shaman really need to summon the chieftains and shamans of the mid‑small tribes as well?
What right do they have to hear these matters?
But what surprised the grand shamans and chieftains was that those who entered were not any familiar tribe's shamans and chieftains, but several unfamiliar beastman warriors and a petite female shaman.
The Sea Snake Chieftain sitting on the animal‑skin mat sprang up upon seeing the newcomers: "Shaman Yue of the Snow Moon Tribe! What are you doing here?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Wu Yue showed a faint smile: "Ah~ it's the Sea Snake Chieftain, long time no see."
Her voice carried a smile, making anyone who heard it feel favorably disposed.
Of course, except for the Sea Snake clan chief and the Sea Snake great shaman from the same tribe, who had already been dealt with earlier.
"Shaman Yue of the Snow Moon tribe, accompanied by the tribe's beastfolk, has met the Great Eel Shaman, the Great Shark Shaman, the Great Snake Shaman, the Eel clan chief, the Shark clan chief, the Snake clan chief, and all the beastfolk warriors present here."
Having said that, she bowed slightly, and Yuan Lang behind her also followed suit, bowing in respect.
The Sea Snake clan chief and the Sea Snake great shaman looked grim: "Shaman Yue, you placed our Sea Snake tribe last—do you think our tribe is the weakest among the three super tribes?"
The Sea Snake great shaman was the first to raise an objection.
As if she had already anticipated the Sea Snake great shaman's words, Wu Yue respectfully replied: "The Snow Moon tribe is currently under the protection of the Eel tribe, so naturally we place the Eel tribe first; as for the Shark and Snake tribes, naturally the stronger ones come first."
Aside from the Snake tribe, Wu Yue's words pleased the members of the Eel and Shark tribes greatly.
The Sea Snake great shaman gave Wu Yue a dark look, saw her sit down in the lower seat, then turned his gaze to the smiling Eel great shaman, his chest filled with indignation.
"Great Eel Shaman, we are discussing the missing beastfolk; why have you summoned this small land tribe?"
The Great Eel Shaman chuckled lightly: "Because the talisman you mistakenly thought was the Beast God's Wrath is actually an offering from the Snow Moon tribe to us."
Upon mention of the Beast God's Wrath, the members of the Shark and Snake tribes involuntarily fixed their gaze on the seated Shaman Yue.
"You mean the missing beastfolk incident was done by this land tribe using that powerful talisman?"
The Sea Snake great shaman never fails to drag the Snow Moon tribe into the matter at every moment.
The Great Eel Shaman glanced at him: "Don't guess wildly; hear me out."
He solemnly recounted the previous Beast God's Wrath and how the Snow Moon tribe had been targeted.
"So, you mean..."
The Great Shark Shaman's expression was equally grave: "Is this disappearance of the beastfolk warriors man-made? And furthermore..."
He waved his hand, releasing a powerful surge of shamanic energy that bound all the beastfolk warriors seated in the tent: "Is there someone among our three tribes in contact with those who abducted the beastfolk warriors?"
The Great Eel Shaman nodded: "Although everyone hunts in their own territories, the hunting grounds are not public either.
If it were outsider beastfolk, they could not possibly know so precisely when and where each tribe hunts.
Therefore, it is certain that among our Bai Sha Yan Hai tribes, someone is relaying information to these people."
As his words fell, the atmosphere in the tent instantly grew much graver.
"So we must undertake the search for the missing beastfolk warriors, but the most pressing question now is: among our Bai Sha Yan Hai tribes, exactly how many are in contact with those people, and who are they?"
The several great shamans debated fiercely, while Wu Yue sat aside, feeling completely bewildered.
Yuan Lang beside her had already been restrained; she could only communicate with the System in her mind.
"System, did those great shamans just believe everything the Great Eel Shaman said just now?"
Tongzi, who was gnawing on a spicy snack, paused, then snorted: "What's there to doubt? You only brought a couple of tiny cats; your strength isn't enough to threaten these super tribes—what's there not to believe?"
Wu Yue: "..."
You explained it well; don't explain again next time.
The muted Tongzi was speechless, utterly unaware of his host's disdain.
After a moment, the great shamans finally decided to dispatch beastfolk squads again to hunt, luring the hidden hands out to confirm their numbers.
After much verbal sparring, each tribe took turns sending out ten-man squads to hunt far away, each tribe for a day, nobody exempt.
"This plan is known only to those of us present; please remember that if any tribe leaks the information and those people find out, then the tribe responsible for the leak will bear the responsibility for the next plan."
The three great shamans nodded: "Agreed."
After the matter was settled, the people of the three tribes each returned to make preparations; having been delayed this long, everyone felt anxious.
Now the Eel tribe can uncover a few clues, which is good news for all the Bai Sha Yan Hai tribes.
Over the calm sea, seabirds occasionally flew by, leaving a string of unpleasant cries.
The Sea Snake great shaman sat on the back of a giant python, eyes closed, unknown what he was thinking.
After a while, the Sea Snake clan chief, scratching his ear and cheek, finally couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Great Shaman, are we really just going to obey the Eel tribe?"
The relations between the Snake tribe and the Eel tribe have always been tense—you don't submit to me, I don't submit to you; no major clashes, but constant minor friction.
Therefore, the search for the missing beastfolk is now led by the Eel tribe, which makes the Snake clan chief extremely displeased.
The seated Sea Snake great shaman slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the clan chief's face full of discontent, and sneered: "Unwilling? Don't want to listen to the Eel tribe?"
Upon hearing his great shaman's question, the Snake clan chief's eyes lit up, and he hurried over: "Great Shaman, do you have any solution?"
The Sea Snake great shaman flicked the beastman's forehead with a knuckle: "You've been patrolling with your tribesmen for so long, yet you haven't noticed a single problem that the Eel tribe discovered."
"Now finding those missing beastfolk is the most important; even if you're unhappy inside, hold it in."
"After we find those beastfolk, what you want to do is none of my concern, but..."
He gazed with gloomy eyes at the Sea Snake Clan Chief: "If this plan is thwarted because of you, I will let you experience my methods."
The Sea Snake Clan Chief felt a chill down his spine, immediately shrank and lowered his head, yet his hatred for the Eel Tribe grew ever stronger.
The two returned to the tribe, where a group of Beastman Warriors had long been waiting at the entrance; seeing them return safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Grand Shaman, you have returned.
Chief, you have returned.
After everyone performed their respects, they watched the Sea Snake Grand Shaman depart under the protection of the guardian Beastfolk.
