Chapter 725: with translation of chapter title

The three were enveloped in the glow of the speed talisman and vanished in the blink of an eye before the young sea serpent beastman's eyes.

Watching the ripples spreading across the sea, the male great shaman's ugly expression eased a bit: "A tiny land tribe? Heh~ Those three super tribes probably don't realize they've provoked such a troublesome existence."

"Great shaman, the territory we painstakingly obtained..."

The young sea serpent beastman still unwillingly gazed in the direction Wu Yue and the others had left.

The male great shaman lifted his head and waved lightly: "Although some was taken away, being able to obtain good land to survive is already the best thing for us."

His voice carried a hint of solemnity: "Have you properly stored the shamanic talismans you exchanged for?"

The young sea serpent beastman's lip twitched; thinking of those costly talismans, his heart bled: "All are stored properly; now that the Snow Moon tribe is taking the lead ahead, do we still need to keep exchanging shamanic talismans from the Yun Wu Shan Mai?"

"Shamanic talismans are naturally better the more there are; as long as they don't affect our lives and cultivation, the more we exchange, the better."

Wu Yue and the two others sped along, the scenery beside them rapidly receding behind them; the damp, salty sea wind blew against their faces, stinging.

"What a good buddy, when still it feels this sea breeze is gentle and soft, quite comfortable."

"But with the speed boost, even my thick-skinned face can hardly endure it."

Wu Yue bared her teeth and grimaced as she lifted her hand to cover her face, leaving only her eyes to observe the surroundings.

Beside her, Yuan Lang heard this and almost staggered on his feet.

"Thick-skinned face?"

Although he had never heard this term before, it didn't hinder his clever mind's understanding, and he felt somewhat torn between laughter and tears.

His long arms tightened; his large hand with distinct knuckles gently exerted force, and that little head, not much larger than a beastman's palm, was wholly buried in his embrace: "There's no such way to speak of oneself."

Wu Yue gave a hehe laugh: "Is it really that painful?"

Beside them, the falcon beastman's body shuddered; he felt his teeth as if he had eaten something sour, feeling a bit weak.

"Shaman Wu Yue, we're already far from those people; shouldn't we put away this shamanic talisman?"

Although the shamanic talisman wasn't his, thinking that they actually used such precious talismans to rush along made his heart ache as if bleeding.

These are all resources; they could be exchanged for many, many items.

That little twitching expression on the other's face instantly laid bare his thoughts.

Wu Yue couldn't help but laugh: "We not only cannot put it away; later, when this talisman's time runs out, we'll have to use another one."

"Ah!!!"

The falcon beastman blinked his clear big eyes, his gaze revealing a hint of bewilderment.

Wu Yue, however, gave a faint smile, turned her head, and buried her face in Yuan Lang's chest without speaking.

Only after they had sped all the way and arrived at the territory of the Eel tribe did the falcon beastman look in horror at his own shaman.

"How... how... how did we end up in the Eel tribe? Shaman Wu Yue, did you get the direction wrong? Our tribe should be over there."

He raised his large hand, trembling slightly, and carefully extended a finger toward another direction.

Wu Yue brushed aside the hair by her ear, the corners of her mouth smiling: "No mistake; we deliberately came to the Eel tribe."

Having said that, she lifted her foot and walked toward the beastman guard stationed at the tribe's gate.

The two tribes have always been on good terms; seeing a familiar figure, the Eel tribe's guard beastman stepped forward at once: "Shaman Wu Yue, how did you come over?"

Wu Yue's small face no longer bore the smile from just moments ago; instead, it carried a hint of worry: "I came to see if the great shaman and the chieftain have returned; the tribe's people have been missing for so long, I'm genuinely worried."

Hearing this, the guard beastman's expression also took on a touch of sorrow: "Rest assured, with the great shaman and the chieftain present, the missing beastman warriors will surely be rescued."

As his words fell, the worry on this shaman Wu Yue's face faded a bit: "Mm, I also believe the great shaman and the chieftain will surely bring our tribe's people back."

While they were conversing, the beastman warrior tasked with guarding the tribe arrived; after seeing Wu Yue, he respectfully saluted and then invited the three to proceed into the tribe.

"According to the time the great shaman and chieftain said, they'll be back in just these two days; Shaman Wu Yue, you might as well wait here in the tribe, otherwise going back and forth would only waste time."

Wu Yue's lip curled into a subtle arc, her face still bearing a hint of worry.

The guard beastman, seeing this shaman ponder for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you and your people can stay in the previous tent; the chieftain and great shaman have always kept it ready."

After seeing the three to the tent and arranging for tribesfolk to attend to them, the beastman departed.

The worry on Wu Yue's face vanished instantly as the tent flap fell.

She lay back, very contentedly, on the thick animal‑skin mat.

"Shaman Wu Yue, what should we do next?"

The falcon beastman sat somewhat restrained on the animal‑skin mat beside her.

Wu Yue pulled over a strand of silver hair that had slipped from Yuan Lang's shoulder, played with it, and said with a smiling mouth: "Next... after the Eel tribe's great shaman and chieftain return, we'll begin our performance."

The falcon beastman's originally apprehensive eyes widened instantly; as if thinking of something, his gaze suddenly brightened, even taking on a slyness quite different from his previous clear foolishness: "Shaman Wu Yue, you mean we were waiting in our tribe for news from the Eel tribe, but couldn't wait any longer, so we came straight to the Eel tribe to wait? And we haven't been anywhere else in between?"

Wu Yue gave him an "easily teachable" look: "The Bai Sha Yan Hai is so dangerous; with just us three little kittens, where could we go?"

The falcon beastman gave a hehe laugh, rose and stretched: "Shaman Wu Yue, you rest; I'm heading back to the tent to get good rest and prepare for the performance."

Having said that, he hummed an unknown tune and went out.

"That works too; the missing beastman warriors now have a place to go."

The beastman's low voice sounded in her ears, and Wu Yue's smile deepened: "Indeed, among the missing beastman warriors of the three great tribes, there are those unwilling to return; let alone our little tribe."

"Damn it, it's all your Eel tribe's fault; the Snow Moon tribe was probably provoked by you, and now you've actually brought such a great loss upon our Bai Sha Yan Hai—I want to see how you'll explain this to the other tribes."

The sea serpent chieftain's angry, booming voice echoed across the entire sea; thinking of being defeated by his own offspring in front of everyone, he felt his old face burning with pain.

His hatred toward the Eel tribe and the Snow Moon tribe surged like a tide, his eyes venomous as he gazed upon the Eel tribe's people.

Among the group, there was deep silence; the leaders of the three tribes gathered once again in the Eel tribe.

The group was very silent; the leaders of the three tribes gathered again in the Sea Eel Tribe.
