Chapter 784: Surprise? Yellow-tier Scorpion Beast

Cloudtreader swore with its butt, the master absolutely didn't know the ugly face of this beastman before them.

Pfui! Shameless, they even snatched the beastfolk's jerky.

From deep night to dawn is the coldest time in the endless desert.

Aside from beastman warriors who have thick fur armor and the beast god's power protecting them, ordinary tribespeople can only huddle in sand burrows.

When the first ray of morning sunlight fell, the old shaman held jerky in hand, gnawing it with a grimace, squinting eyes, lying on the beastman warrior's back to continue forward.

Wu Yue sat on Cloudtreader's back looking around; aside from a few scattered withered yellow plants, everything was a sea of yellow sand.

The leisurely advancing Cloudtreader suddenly sprang its four hooves into the air, jumping backward.

In Wu Yue's stunned moment, she gripped Cloudtreader's neck; in her peripheral vision she saw a chillingly cold curved blade sweep across the spot they had just occupied.

That sharp blade's gleam—if it nicked you, your head might fly off.

Yuan Lang and the beastman warriors of the surrounding Sand Lizard Tribe also reacted instantly.

They all rushed to block in front of the old shaman and Wu Yue.

Yuan Lang raised his arm, threw the sand burrow aside onto the sand, and drew his waist-long sword.

"It's a scorpion beast!"

"Yuan Lang Warrior, watch out for the scorpion beast's tail blade and poison."

The scorpion beast that had just sneak-attacked Wu Yue finally revealed its full form from the sand pile.

No wonder everyone just now didn't notice it.

This scorpion beast is entirely earth-yellow, buried in the sand without movement, making it hard to detect.

Upon seeing the scorpion beast's full appearance, Wu Yue couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Good grief, its size can rival an SUV.

Add to that its tail, raised high with a tail blade...

It's basically a huge killing machine.

"It's a Yellow-tier scorpion beast!"

Upon seeing the scorpion beast's full form, the Sand Lizard Tribe's people not only weren't frightened, they all let out cries of delight.

"A Yellow-tier scorpion beast is the peak of low-tier scorpion beasts; one step further and it becomes a mid-tier scorpion beast, with its combat power and poison increasing by more than one level."

The old shaman beside them also smiled, eyes narrowed; this outing really is good luck.

Without specially seeking it, we encountered a Yellow-tier scorpion beast; many tribespeople's sand burrows can now be repaired.

Getting through this cold season will be no problem.

Thinking of this, they let out a pleased hehe laugh.

The Yellow-tier scorpion beast's combat power is very strong, its poison also very troublesome.

But this time it encountered an exchange team with combat power maxed out, plus Yuan Lang of Gold-tier.

They took it down without anyone getting injured.

Wu Yue only took the scorpion beast's venom and some of its armor; the rest of the materials she gave to the Sand Lizard Tribe.

Even that portion of armor was handed over to the Sand Lizard Tribe's beastman warriors for processing.

People living in the endless desert are skilled at handling armor and making armor garments.

With this unexpected windfall, everyone's spirits rose a notch.

The Hump Peak Tribe's beastman warriors who came to meet them, seeing their spirited appearance, couldn't help but scratch their heads.

What's the situation? Did they pick up jerky?

They all grinned, showing their teeth.

Wu Yue also saw a squad of unfamiliar beastfolk standing not far away.

The most eye-catching was a camel lying beside them that looked sturdy and tall at a glance.

Compared to the dirty, patchy-furred scenic spot camels she'd seen in her past life.

These Hump Peak Beasts each had sleek, oily fur and muscular, powerful builds.

If modern camels are ships of the desert, these Hump Peak Beasts look like desert aircraft carriers.

Upon seeing the old shaman on the beastfolk's back, the group hurried over to greet.

"Shaman Sir, we brought the Hump Peak Beasts; you should ride one."

The old shaman nodded to the leading beastfolk, then turned to greet Wu Yue: "Shaman Yue, these are the Hump Peak Tribe's beastman warriors."

Wu Yue came slowly walking on Cloudtreader's back; Cloudtreader's aura was domineering and fierce.

Although it now looks docile carrying Wu Yue, those scarlet eyes, when gazing at other beastfolk and wild beasts, are full of ferocity.

The Hump Peak Tribe's beastfolk and the Hump Peak Beasts that had just been leisurely chewing food all felt their hairs stand on end.

Although their hearts were full of wariness, hearing the old shaman's introduction, they realized this female before them was also a shaman.

All the Hump Peak Tribe's beastman warriors also respectfully bowed in unison.

Wu Yue's pale, tender hand lightly patted Cloudtreader's head: "Sorry, Cloudtreader may look fierce, but its nature is very gentle."

The beastfolk: "..."

Hehe, as long as you're happy.

After Wu Yue spoke, she didn't care what the beastfolk thought, only sizing up the few Hump Peak Beasts that had just stood up.

After standing, they became even taller and more robust.

Seen this way, they're about twice her height.

The old shaman, with the help of the Hump Peak Tribe's beastman warriors, had already climbed onto the back of a Hump Peak Beast.

At that moment, wrapped in a fur blanket and nestled between two sturdy humps, he reached out and waved to Wu Yue.

"Shaman Yue, would you like to also ride on the Hump Peak Beast? Its fur is very warm."

Wu Yue nodded interestedly.

Pat pat Treading Cloud's dissatisfied shaking little head: 'Good Treading Cloud, I'm not disliking you, I just feel sorry that carrying so many items is hard for you.'

I'll go ride the camel beast, let our Treading Cloud rest.

Even if there are no camel beasts from now on, we'll still have to work our Treading Cloud hard.

Treading Cloud's scarlet little gaze softened a bit: 'Woof woof!'

Wu wu wu, master is really great; I originally didn't realize I was so important in master's heart.

Then he gave a disdainful glance at the few camel beasts not far away.

Hehe, you little beasts, master only had me ride you because he was afraid I'd suffer.

Then he pattered over with light little steps to the side of a camel beast.

Seeing the other tremble from fear due to his approach, he snorted disdainfully.

Coward!

Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, he gradually enlarged his size until he was level with that camel beast.

Wu Yue smiled as she patted the thoughtful Treading Cloud's big head, then skillfully transferred onto the camel beast's back.

Sitting between the two humps, she was instantly enveloped in warmth.

Treading Cloud also didn't shrink its size, but walked beside the camel beast carrying Wu Yue in a protective manner.

From time to time, it bared its teeth at that camel beast.

You walk steadily for me; if you drop my master, watch out for your hide.

Meanwhile, Yuan Lang, carrying the sand pit on his back, had a dark, handsome face.

This Treading Cloud really is getting more and more displeasing to look at.

The Sand Lizard Tribe and the Camel Hump Tribe have a very good relationship, and the Beastman Warriors of the two tribes are also very close.

As for the unfamiliar Wu Yue, Yuan Lang, and Treading Cloud, the Camel Hump Tribe Beastman Warriors also took the opportunity to seek out the Sand Lizard Tribe Beastfolk to gather information.

The Sand Lizard Tribe Beastfolk, who had long received instructions from the old shaman, told the Camel Hump Tribe about their exchanging salt with Shaman Yue.
