Chapter 761: Like a Dream
Only Kulo kept in mind the task entrusted to him by his tribe's great shaman and chieftain.
"Shaman Yue, after the last trade fair."
"All the tribes are looking forward to you and your fleet bringing salt and sea goods again."
"But a long time has passed, and we still haven't seen your tribe's large ship."
"Everyone is very anxious."
"The salt from the previous trade has almost been used up."
"So I came over to see if I could find your tribe."
Wu Yue looked amused at the tall Beastman Warrior: "Bai Sha Yan Hai is so vast; you were lucky to run into us."
"If we had encountered another sea tribe, wouldn't that be dangerous?"
Kulo scratched his head: "If we encounter another sea tribe."
"We would take out the beast pelts we brought and exchange them for some snow salt to bring back."
"The great shaman, chieftain, and shamans in our tribe all prefer snow salt."
Wu Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes upon hearing that.
"As expected, there are always privileged classes."
"For a mouthful of salt, these young Beastman Warriors risk venturing through the dangerous forest to come exchange salt."
"At the last trade fair, we discovered some problems."
"During this time we have been perfecting and improving, and we are now ready to set out again."
"It's also fortunate that you arrived early."
"If you had come later, we would probably have missed each other."
Upon hearing that, Kulo's face also broke into a delighted smile.
"That's really great."
As they talked along the way, Wu Yue also had a few Beastman Warriors from the Kuma Tribe try the authentic seafood.
While savoring the fresh, tender sea beast meat in their mouths, several land Beastman Warriors ate with such gusto they could barely lift their heads.
The return speed was not fast; by the time they reached the Snow Moon Tribe's encampment, it was already noon of the third day.
The Beastfolk at the encampment gate saw the large ship returning and hurried forward to greet it.
"Shaman Yue has returned!"
Upon hearing that, the surrounding tribespeople all gathered around.
Seeing the unfamiliar Beastman Warriors following behind Shaman Yue.
they couldn't help but show curious expressions.
"Are they the legendary land Beastfolk?"
"They look puffy and robust, somewhat stronger than our sea Beastfolk."
"Mm-hmm, they look even stronger."
"Wow, that leading Beastman Warrior's butt is really perky."
The sturdy, perky-buttocked Beastman Warrior Kulo: "..."
A wheat‑colored, angular handsome face flushed bright red.
His eyes rolled about, and he dared not look at the eager gazes of the surrounding sea‑tribe females.
"Beast god, these sea‑tribe females are too enthusiastic!"
He could hardly cope with it.
Wu Yue amusedly watched the somewhat shy Beastman Warriors of the Kuma Tribe.
"Many of the folk living in Bai Sha Yan Hai have never set foot on land in their entire lives."
"So, upon first seeing the land Beastfolk in person, they are merely curious, with no ill intent."
Kulo and the others all nodded in agreement.
"They could feel that, aside from curiosity, these people harbored no malice."
Under the scorching gazes, everyone arrived at a spacious beast‑skin tent.
"This is the tent we use to entertain guests; inside it's spacious and can hold many beast‑skin beds."
"All of you who have come can stay here."
"The spacious tent is unlike the ones they used to live in."
"At the very top center there is still an opening."
"Bright sunlight streams in through the hole."
"In the warm column of light, faint specks of gray fluff can be seen drifting about."
"Around the tent there are also two half‑person‑high light‑transmitting holes."
"This makes the whole tent extremely bright, with none of the dimness and crowding of their usual tents."
"Clean and tidy."
Kulo and his tribesmen stood somewhat restrained in the spacious, bright tent.
"Shaman Yue, we've come all this way dirty and grimy."
"Just find us a place to pitch our tents; we brought our own."
Wu Yue let out an annoyed snort: "You've come all this way; how could I let you set up your own tents?"
She waved and called over a female: "Go fill the water in the rear bathing pool and prepare some clothes for them."
The summoned female replied respectfully, then circled around Kulo and the others a few times before bowing and leaving.
Moments later, a few of them, led by a pure human male, went to a clean, wide pool to bathe.
They then changed into the light, thin clothing the females had prepared in advance.
Only then, looking bewildered, did he follow behind the pure human male into another, brighter and larger tent.
"Hahaha, Kulo, you guy, how can you change clothes and not even know how to walk?"
A familiar and rough voice sounded in his ear.
Kulo looked up, and his eyes lit up.
He also broke into a relaxed smile: "Teng Qian, you guy look even more sturdy."
The two beasts laughed heartily and embraced each other.
"Boom boom boom," the sound of them patting each other's backs rang clearly in everyone's ears inside the tent.
By then, the sky had already grown dim.
But inside the large tent, it was as bright as daytime.
In the center, the big fire pit blazed with roaring flames.
It dispelled the slight chill of the night over the sea.
Several females and males of the pure humans gathered around the fire.
They bustled about cheerfully.
From time to time, they carried plates of fragrant food to the various tables.
At the head sat their familiar Wushi Yue and another male pure human who looked somewhat frail.
Teng Qian enthusiastically brought Kulo and the Beastman Warriors beside him to sit in the few vacant seats up front on the left.
The busy pure humans by the fire quickly brought up the food.
There were also plates of unfamiliar fruits glistening with fresh dew.
"Kulo, this is the Great Shaman Mu Yun of our Snow Moon Tribe."
Wu Yue introduced with a hint of reverence in her voice.
Upon hearing this, Kulo hastily wiped the smile from his face.
He rose with his people behind him, and together they bowed toward the Great Shaman at the head.
"Greetings, Great Shaman Mu Yun."
"Mm, welcome to the Snow Moon Tribe. Please, have a seat."
As for the Kuma Tribe, which has long been on good terms with the Snow Moon Tribe,
Great Shaman Mu Yun had naturally already heard of them from Shaman Yue.
Therefore, Great Shaman Mu Yun's attitude was very kind.
Kulo and his companions couldn't help but feel that this Great Shaman of the Snow Moon Tribe was warm and approachable.
The Great Shaman Mu Yun, who had single‑handedly routed half of a wandering beast tribe, gave a faint smile.
Isn't he exactly such a warm and approachable person?
The evening's hospitality opened Kulo and his companions' eyes to new horizons.
Delicious foods they had never tasted before.
The enchanting, beautiful song and dance of the females they saw for the first time.
Making them feel as if they were immersed in a wonderful dream.
The next morning, those who had awakened from the beautiful dream all wiped their faces.
The slight pain from the thick calluses on their palms rubbing against their cheeks told them.
That wonderful night was not a dream.
They couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
The people of the Snow Moon Tribe are truly so happy.
They spent another two days playing around in the Snow Moon Tribe.
Only then had the Snow Moon Tribe's fleet finished its preparations.
The next morning, they set off toward the Yun Wu Shan Mai with a ship full of marine goods and Kulo and his companions.
"Shaman Yue, what are all these big sacks filled with?"
Kulo looked dubiously at the beast‑skin sacks in the hold, each as tall as half a Beastman and bulging tightly, and asked.
