Chapter 774: Totem Pole? Pretending to Be a Big Deal

Seeing the spirited appearance of the thin little old man, Wu Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Long time no see, Shaman, you're still this lively, haha."

The familiar voice sounded in his ear, and seeing the two figures not far away, the Healing Shaman rushed over like a gust of wind.

"Shaman Yue, I heard there was a serious disaster in the Bai Sha Yan Hai; why did you come out now?"

While speaking, he led Wu Yue and Yuan Lang toward his tent.

The Beastman who had previously been kicked in the butt by the Healing Shaman had already eagerly lifted the tent flap.

The female attendant inside the tent had already brought over a thick animal pelt and spread it on the seat.

The three sat down in the warm tent, and Wu Yue, without hesitation, directly stated her purpose.

"It's like this: if your tribe has any spare totem poles, I can exchange them for the goods you need."

"Bringing back more is always good, and we can also trade other items with the tribes of the Polar Forest."

Having said that, she gave the Healing Shaman a meaningful look: "You know..."

The Healing Shaman stared blankly for a moment, as if recalling something, and his eyes instantly lit up.

He immediately rose and looked at Wu Yue and the others: "Shaman Yue, please rest in my tent first; I will go consult the Great Shaman."

He then summoned a guard Beastman, leapt onto its broad back, and vanished in a puff of smoke.

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang exchanged a glance, then both smiled and began eating the food on the table in small bites.

Goods from the Snow Moon Tribe had always been scarce; upon hearing that Wu Yue wanted to exchange totem poles with him, Great Shaman Kuma immediately nodded and agreed.

Annoyed, he waved his hand, signaling the Healing Shaman to hurry back and bring Wu Yue and the others over.

What are you waiting for? In the Yun Wu Shan Mai, more than just him can make totem poles.

"Shaman Yue, I still have a few totem poles here; I hope you can exchange them for shamanic talismans and that snow salt you brought from the Bai Sha Yan Hai."

"The specific amount..."

He glanced at Wu Yue, his old eyes full of shrewdness: "I believe Shaman Yue won't let me lose out."

Wu Yue chuckled lightly; she wasn't surprised by Great Shaman Kuma's demand—the only things she could reveal to impress him were these two.

She immediately agreed and directly took out the salt and shamanic talismans that Great Shaman Kuma needed from her space.

Looking at the five totem poles on the open ground emitting a strong shamanic aura, she felt delighted.

However, these totem poles are energy items; likely she would need to gather some Beastman Warriors back at the tribe to transport them.

"Ding~ Dear host, are you worried about the transportation problem of the totem poles?"

"The cute Little System offers you a safe and convenient storage service."

"Just 10 points per kilometer, safe and worry-free—you deserve it."

"On the track of earning points, the System has never fallen behind the Little System."

"But..."

Wu Yue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Per kilometer? Go ahead and grab the points."

"I might as well get the Beastmen to help carry them back; after all, we're just traveling, and I'm not in a hurry."

System: "..."

"What to do with the host becoming more and more stingy?"

"\"How about adding one kilometer? \" the System trembled, extending its little fat hand, gritting its teeth to lower the price."

"It's all for performance and year-end points."

Wu Yue secretly rejoiced; the little guy was still too naive.

The person and the System immediately began negotiating prices back and forth.

Finally, in Wu Yue's smugness, the System, biting its little handkerchief with whiny sounds, exchanged the storage function for energy items at a rate of 10 points per ten kilometers.

Great Shaman Kuma was about to ask Wu Yue whether she needed him to arrange Beastmen to help with transport.

The next second, seeing the long-silent Shaman Yue wave her small hand, the totem pole that would require dozens of gold-rank Beastman Warriors to lift with all their strength vanished before their eyes.

Great Shaman Kuma's hand clenched tightly, almost tearing apart his favorite beast pelt beneath him.

He pinched his thigh hard several times before managing to stand up without losing composure.

"Shaman Yue, those totem poles..."

"Those are totem poles imbued with my powerful shamanic energy!"

Wu Yue gave a simple smile and touched her delicate nose: "This is a mysterious shamanic art granted by the Great Shaman of Huaxia, usable only once."

"I sought it especially for coming to exchange the totem poles."

"Anyway, the Huaxia Tribe already carries plenty of blame; adding one more doesn't matter."

Leaving the doubtful Great Shaman Kuma and the Kuma tribespeople behind, she also gave some gifts to the Healing Shaman.

The two politely refused Great Shaman Kuma's attempts to detain them and left the Kuma Tribe.

"\"Want to go back and check on the tribe? \""

In the air, Yuan Lang's pair of huge snow-white wings fluttered behind him as he lowered his head to ask the petite female curled in his embrace.

Wu Yue gave a half-hearted yawn, petting the Treading Cloud asleep belly-up in her arms: "No need to go back; the Yun Wu Shan Mai is safe now."

"Our main purpose for coming out was to travel; we can take a look again when we return."

Yuan Lang nodded, then immediately lifted his gaze toward the direction of the Polar Forest: "Shall we head straight to the Polar Forest?"

Wu Yue shook her head, her voice full of anticipation: "Let's first go to the Chiyan Pingyuan; I've heard there are places there like the northern snowfields—let's go see."

Yuan Lang naturally had no objections; his double wings beat, and soon the two figures disappeared into the forest, with only soft white snow drifting down.

The winter of the Chiyan Pingyuan, like other regions, had long been covered in vast white snow.

The Scorpion Tribe, which had long become the strongest tribe on the Chiyan Pingyuan, continued to enjoy a very prosperous year.

After occupying the Rock Salt Tribe's stronghold, they no longer needed to spend food and pelts to exchange for precious salt.

Now they can even use the tribe's surplus salt to exchange for pelts and needed supplies.

Their quality of life has risen by more than one level.

Inside a thick, warm fur tent at the tribe's entrance.

Du Huo lounged with his legs crossed, humming a tune he didn't even know, opening his mouth to enjoy the feeding from the female beside him.

He felt blissful—this is the life a mighty Beastman Warrior ought to live.

This is what he deserved; thinking of the suffering he once endured at the hands of a fearsome female shaman, he couldn't help but shudder.

For some reason, he suddenly felt an uneasy premonition; after all, he hadn't thought of those dark days in a long time.

"Captain! Captain! Something's wrong!"

Suddenly, a panicked howl rang out from outside the tent from a patrolling Beastfolk.

Du Huo sprang up, his face dark, and snapped: "What's all the yelling? My captain's fine!"

Though he complained, he still quickly rose and went out.

"What happened?"

The patrolling Beastfolk's face turned pale, his lips trembling as he said: "Two people and a beast have come to the edge of the territory, and... and..."

The Beastfolk swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he continued: "It's the Snow Tiger Tribe's fearsome little female shaman, her companion, and a ferocious beast with a vicious look."

?? We're back, a brief update, continuing tomorrow, looking forward to everyone's interaction.
