Chapter 777

The prey had already been killed, and the giant python could no longer restrain its primordial temper.

Its thick tail flung it aside, and its massive body swiftly swam to the Beastman Warrior who had thrown it.

「Sss! Sssss! 」

Wu Yue: "……"

Although I couldn't understand, it felt like a nasty scolding.

The scolded Beastman Warrior lazily lifted his eyelids: "They're just pets; when we rode the cloud beasts on our journey, you drooled all the way wrapped around my wrist."

As the words fell, the black snake that had been upright and confident instantly wilted.

After letting out two clearly guilty hisses, it quickly shrank and coiled back around the Beastman Warrior's wrist.

Seeing the giant snake's utterly subdued appearance, Wu Yue couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Yuan Lang lifted his gaze to the giggling little female, and a faint smile also spread across his eyes.

Just then, a clamor of footsteps came from behind the dune, and a group of Beastman Warriors clad in earth‑yellow leather armor, wielding strange weapons, charged out.

The leading Beastman Warrior was stalwart, his skin unusually dark, and his gaze toward the two was especially fierce.

«Which tribe are you from? Entering another tribe's territory without permission—are you trying to provoke tribal conflict? »

Yuan Lang spread his arms, pulling Wu Yue behind him, and lifted his eyes to the leading Beastman Warrior: «We are from the tribe of the Yun Wu Shan Mai, coming to Chiyan Pingyuan to trade with your tribe. »

When we passed through the border between a snowfield and a desert, we were besieged by a pack of forest wolves.

We two and our tribesfolk got separated; to shake off the wolves we fled into the sandy ground.

We have already been walking in this desert for many, many days.

Our food and water have run out.

That's why we came over when we heard your hunting sounds. »

Having said that, he looked at the meat worm killed by the giant python: «This meat worm just charged out and was about to attack my companion, so I killed it—I didn't deliberately steal your prey. »

A slightly slender Beastman Warrior quietly edged up to his captain: «Captain, does our endless desert have these two places—Chiyan Pingyuan and Yun Wu Shan Mai? »

The Beastman Warrior leading the group didn't answer his clansman, turned and looked at the two older Beastman Warriors: «You two go back and tell the Shaman Sir what happened here—make it quick. »

The two middle‑aged Beastman Warriors received the captain's signal and hurriedly turned to run toward the tribal settlement.

«I have already sent my people to consult the Shaman Sir; if he is willing to see you, you may ask him any questions. »

After that, he ignored the two of them and led the remaining tribesfolk to deal with the giant meat worm slain by the giant python.

Watching their practiced bleeding and skinning.

Wu Yue peeked out from behind Yuan Lang: «Is this meat worm your food? »

The little female's pleasant voice suddenly rang in their ears, and the swarthy men opposite all involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked over.

Wu Yue's fair, tender face bore a warm smile: «Hello, I've just never seen such a big worm before, so I'm a bit curious. »

What could be wrong with a soft, fair little female? She's merely curious.

A somewhat younger Beastman Warrior, his face flushed, glanced a few times at the completely different fair little female and, a bit shyly, said: «It's edible; dried worm meat is delicious, and females and youngsters love it. »

Their skin can also be made into armor. »

He said this while pointing to his own earth‑yellow leather armor.

Wu Yue suddenly realized: «The leather armor you wear is actually made from the skin of the sand worm—you're really impressive. »

Suddenly praised by the little female, not only the young Beastman Warriors but even some middle‑aged ones couldn't help puffing out their chests.

Their broad, sturdy pectorals bulged prominently beneath the leather armor.

Tsk tsk tsk, Beastworld sisters really eat well—everywhere are male moms, sigh.

「Cough! Humph! 」

The Beastman Warrior's light cough rang out above their heads.

Wu Yue, who had been lost in admiration of the male moms' bulging chests, suddenly snapped back to reality.

She raised her index finger to scratch her nose, lifted her head, and gave the Beastman Warrior with an especially deep gaze an innocent, appeasing smile.

「Heh... 」

The Beastman Warrior gave her a meaningful look, then his large hand ruthlessly rubbed the head of the disobedient little female.

He kneaded her once‑delicate, cute little head into a messy bird's nest before stopping.

Perhaps the tribal settlement of this group of Beastman Warriors wasn't far from this dune.

The worm carcasses hadn't been fully processed when one of the Beastman Warriors who had just gone back to report came running back.

«Captain, the Shaman Sir orders you to bring them back to the tribe. »

The dark‑skinned Beastman Warrior leading the group furrowed his brows, but his reverence for the Shaman Sir still made him choose to obey.

«Speed up and gather the prey. »

After giving the order to the tribesfolk, he then turned to Wu Yue and Yuan Lang: «You two also heard that—our Shaman Sir invites you to the tribe. »

Although it's an invitation, this Beastman Warrior's attitude is anything but gentle.

His eyes are full of scrutiny and wariness toward them.

But Wu Yue and Yuan Lang didn't mind; they obediently followed the hunting party that had finished gathering the prey back to the tribal settlement.

Upon seeing the sand pits hidden in the dune, Wu Yue was shocked.

The miraculous Beastworld truly has everything.

Even sand with such high fluidity can actually be used to make dwellings, and they look quite sturdy.

In front of a sand pit in the middle of the settlement that was much larger than the others stood a dark‑skinned elder.

The instant he saw Wu Yue and Yuan Lang, he sensed the powerful witchcraft undulation emanating from the little female behind the Beastman Warrior.

«May I ask how to address this Shaman Sir? »

The elder's slightly hoarse voice boomed across the entire settlement.

The surrounding tribespeople all looked with shocked expressions at the pale-skinned young female behind the white-haired Beastfolk.

The Shaman's identity was recognized, and Wu Yue also smiled as she stepped out from behind Yuan Lang, performing a hand-on-chest salute toward the elder: "Honored Shaman Sir, you may call me Shaman Yue."

The elder stared at her for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing: "It's been ages since I've seen a Shaman Sir come from outside the endless desert."

Come in quickly with your guardian Beastfolk.

The two followed the old Shaman into the sand pit, leaving the hunting team all standing there dumbfounded.

A face full of suspicion toward the Beastfolk.

Who are they? Where are they? What did they just do?

They not only threw dagger‑like glares at a Shaman Sir, but also said many impolite words...

Thinking this, a sympathetic little glance involuntarily flicked toward their own captain.

Their captain, however, never gave the Shaman Sir a pleasant expression from start to finish.

Wu Yue and the other explained their purpose; the old Shaman, having traveled in his youth, had naturally heard of several famous places on the Beast World Continent.

He then proceeded to introduce the situation in the endless desert to the two.
