Chapter 767: Strangely Scented Stone

And in this season when all the beasts are in hibernation.

At the entrance of the Northern Land Tribe's base, people constantly came and went.

Each person carried or bore many items, looking heavy.

No wonder they're beastfolk living on the snowy plains—each one is so cold-resistant.

Underfoot was thick snow, all around a white expanse of snow forest and plains.

Just looking at it made Wu Yue want to shiver uncontrollably.

Without the energy clothing provided by the system, she was sure she couldn't last more than a few seconds in this environment.

Those entering the Northern Land Tribe's base carried large bundles that were clearly food or animal hides.

But when leaving, the bundles they carried had shrunk considerably.

Yuan Lang narrowed his dark eyes: 'Moreover, seeing how carefully they wrapped things in Beastfolk bao guo and kept them close to their chests, it must be something very precious.'

Precious items?

Wu Yue's eyes instantly lit up.

Let's go take a look; maybe we can exchange something back.

Just as excited and eager as her was the plump Tongzi in the system space.

You know, the main system places great importance on precious items that haven't been recorded.

The two seemed to see a large amount of points flying toward them.

If we want to go in, we'd better pretend to be a trade team.

Yuan Lang said, glancing at Treadcloud napping by the big tree: 'In this weather, we can only wrong you a little, Treadcloud.'

Treadcloud, startled by a sudden chill, looked at the male two-legged beast standing beside its master, and suddenly felt a deep sense of apprehension.

After a moment, Treadcloud, covered in animal hides with only a pair of wronged-looking eyes exposed, resentfully gazed at its master and the male two-legged beast beside her that kept bubbling foul water.

Wuuu~

Looking at Treadcloud's bloated appearance.

Wu Yue clenched her fist and lightly coughed at her lips, barely suppressing the laughter that was about to burst out.

Um, sorry for wronging you, Treadcloud; once our trade is over, I'll definitely exchange lots and lots of tasty things for you.

After giving her unscrupulous master a resentful little glance.

Treadcloud huffed and puffed as it pulled a sled loaded with goods and two unscrupulous two-legged beasts toward the Northern Land Tribe surrounded by ice walls.

The draft beasts wearing fine animal hides, the wooden cart piled high like a mountain with goods, and two beasts that were extremely handsome and eye-catching.

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang were wearing fur clothes exchanged from the system mall.

The style was clean and neat, and both wore light-colored clothes, very tidy.

Compared to the others coming and going at the base entrance, they seemed like a sky washed clean by rain.

As they approached, their bodies also carried a faint aura that people couldn't quite name.

Their whole bodies were puffing out a 'hao' aura with gurgling sounds.

The guard beastfolk at the base entrance straightened their eyes.

Having seen the two sirs, may I ask if you're here to participate in our Northern Land Tribe trade fair?

Wu Yue was about to nod when suddenly hurried footsteps came from inside the ice wall.

Everyone looked up and saw a plump, smiling bear half-beast running toward them.

Just let me, the host, entertain the two honored guests; you guys continue guarding.

After a simple greeting, the plump bear half-beast had already arrived before them.

Just now, the beastman warrior who had inquired of them respectfully saluted the bear half-beast, then returned to his previous guard post.

Wu Yue felt a slight surprise—was the beastman warrior bowing respectfully to a half-beast?

Was it her way of opening the map that was wrong?

Two honored guests, I am Da Lu; all matters during the tribe's trade fair are arranged by me.

May I ask whether you will stay in the tents arranged by our tribe, or have you prepared your own tents?

The bear half-beast's demeanor was very humble and polite, like a noble from some Western country.

His not-so-large eyes continually sized up the two strange beasts before him.

The white-haired beastfolk exuded an imposing aura, obviously a peerless beastman warrior.

Beside her, the female... always had a faint smile on her face...

Well... she's a pure human.

But also because she's a pure human, the bear half-beast's attitude became even more cautious.

A pure human accompanied by a powerful beastman warrior coming out is very likely a hidden shaman.

Wu Yue didn't realize that in just that moment, the other party had already undergone a mental storm.

She smiled at him and said: 'Can we take a look at the tents your tribe has prepared before we decide?'

The bear half-beast's face showed no change at all.

After all, many people visiting their tribe for the first time will make such a request.

A hint of pride appeared in his eyes.

Anyone who has seen the tribe's living tents and is an outsider chooses to live in the tents provided by the tribe.

He is very confident about this.

Naturally, welcome the two honored guests to visit; I'll take you there.

Saying this, his round face broke into a standardized enthusiastic smile, leading the way slightly ahead of their steps.

Oh ho, this little fat bear really is a qualified Office of Hospitality official.

Tongzi very improperly blew a whistle.

Wu Yue twitched the corner of her mouth: "If it weren't for the voice being wrong, I would have thought these words were spoken by Yuan Lang."

Following Da Lu through the ice hole in the city wall, the field of view instantly opened up.

"Mm!"

A gust of cold wind blew past, a faint scent suddenly brushed the tip of her nose, very intoxicating.

Wu Yue instantly furrowed her brows.

Don't the people of this tribe clean up livestock feces?

As they went deeper, the number of people increased more and more.

The snow on the ground had diminished greatly, revealing damp, cold-hard ground, and numerous stones of various sizes.

"Your tribe's settlement has so many stones; aren't you afraid the little ones will get hurt?"

Wu Yue walked and said to the bear half-beast:

The bear half-beast heard her words, slightly startled, then looked at her with a strange gaze: "That's not stones, just everyone's feces."

Just...

Just...

Just!!!

Wu Yue, dazed for a moment, agilely turned, embraced Yuan Lang and climbed onto his back.

"No, I don't want to leave; this tribe is too dangerous, there are landmines everywhere."

On the chubby bear half-beast's round, plump face beside them, an embarrassed expression rarely appeared.

Isn't it normal for the tribe to have waste?

Why is this female's reaction so strong?

It even makes him a little embarrassed.

"Honored guest, you just need to walk on spots without feces, no need to worry.

"When everyone defecates, they pay attention to distance, so it won't affect the tribe's walking."

Wu Yue's face turned even paler upon hearing that.

Disgusting.

Who would use feces to pave a road?

"Um, Da Lu, we won't go see your tribe's tents.

Please mark out a place outside the tribe for us; we can set up our own tents."

Baa baa, she absolutely cannot let herself fall into the feces mire.
