Chapter 789

Short-haired shaman - not a name.

'Little Caramel' is a term appearing in the title and used descriptively for Wu Yue (meaning 'little caramel shaman'); it's an epithet, not a name.

Thus "Little Caramel" is not a named entity to list in the glossary (it's a descriptive epithet); we will translate its meaning.

Our great shaman - not a name.

'tsk~' (sound effect) - not.

I've never seen our shaman be so affable to anyone; just look at that grin showing his teeth—saying the shaman Yue beside him is his child, people would believe it.

Mukong, since Shaman Yue is relatively familiar with you, then before setting off for the super tribe, you will take care of Shaman Yue and her people.

Shaman Yue is a title+name referring to Wu Yue (her given name Yue with the role Shaman); it's not a separate entity.

Short-haired shaman Mu Kong - includes Mu Kong again.

Afterwards, he kindly gave Wu Yue a few words of advice, and then gave her various colored gems from the leather armor bag, only then letting the few people leave.

After returning to Shaman Mukong's territory, the two shamans who had been waiting, Camel Peak and Sand Lizard, instantly noticed the difference.

Shaman Mukong was especially enthusiastic in speaking with Shaman Yue, his expression even faintly carrying a hint of flattery.

This scene left the two shamans staring, dazed.

What's going on? - not.

With a safe encampment, Wu Yue no longer wronged herself and Yuan Lang by living cramped in that tiny sand hole.

She directly took out her splendid large tent and set it up on the clearing arranged by Shaman Mukong.

The three shamans stared dumbfounded at the tent before them, which was even higher than the house where their great shaman lived, made of countless pieces of extremely precious thick fur, once again intuitively grasping the strength and wealth of Shaman Yue's tribe.

Like a conjurer, he took out thick fur mats and various supplies from the beast-skin bag on the back of the treading cloud.

While the three shamans were still shocked, he had already finished arranging the interior of the tent.

In the center of the tent burned a flame-filled clay basin, beast pelts spread across the floor, thick fur mats for sitting, and many other items that even the several shamans had never seen...

My eyes are dazzled, my eyes are dazzled, I'm really dazzled...

We're both shamans, so why is the gap so huge?

"Shaman trio, come into our tent and have a seat."

Our people live in stone houses, and when we go out we ourselves erect this simple tent.

Wu Yue said while leading the three shamans into the tent.

The tall, spacious tent not only blocked the outside cold wind, but was also much brighter than their sand-hole dwellings.

Just sitting inside, the three shamans instantly had starry eyes.

Wanting... - not.

But looking at those thick, large pieces of beast hide, the three secretly pinched their own thighs.

Can't afford... - not.

Even our great shaman only has a few small beast pelts, the largest tiger hide having only recently been offered by the old poisonous creature.

Wu Yue spoke while lifting the steaming lid of the pot above the fire basin.

A rich fragrance instantly filled the tent.

She ladled a full bamboo jar of meat soup for each of the three shamans, the softened dried meat trembling in the broth.

"Thank you, three shamans, for your care; I only have this little food left, this is our tribe's dried meat, the soup boiled from it is very delicious, please try it."

Sand Lizard Shaman (if treated as a name+title); however, we already have Sand Lizard as a name, so we could list Sand Lizard as a character name.

Although his tongue was sore from the heat, he couldn't help swallowing mouthful after mouthful.

Sand Lizard Shaman (same as above).

The Beast World Continent actually has such delicious food; they simply lack experience.

The three shamans are not weak in combat; they devoured the entire pot of meat soup.

Looking at the empty pot, the three shamans embarrassedly licked their lips, hehe-laughing as they set down several high-quality gems.

"Your tribe's food is delicious; these are the higher-quality gems we three old fellows have, I give them to you, Shaman Yue."

Three gems of different colors lay on the soft beast hide mat, their contained energy obviously much stronger than what had previously been exchanged for Wu Yue.

Wu Yue's eyes brightened: "Do you three shamans still have more of these gems?"

I can exchange salt and beast hide with you.

It can be seen that salt and thick wild beast hide are precious existences in the endless desert.

The three shamans gave a wry smile and shook their heads: "We don't have many of these gems left; they are scattered remnants from the super tribe."

It is rare for us to be able to exchange for even one piece.

They are meant to be kept for the tribe's shamans and Beastman Warriors to enhance their strength.

Three shamans - not.

Upon learning how precious these gems were, she also did not want to take advantage of the three shamans.

After all, if her trade route were opened, these three could become her customers in the future.

She immediately rose, took three pieces of processed thick hide from the basket at the tent's corner, and handed them to the three.

"This is beast hide processed by our tribe's skilled Beastfolk; although it's not as large as the great shaman's tiger hide,"

but after processing the hide becomes softer and warmer, so I give it to the three shamans.

If I can safely return to the tribe, I will definitely bring the tribe's trading caravan to the endless desert to exchange goods with you three.

The three felt the soft beast hide in their hands, their hearts stirred.

Seeing off the three shamans with their red-glowing faces, Wu Yue had just lain down on her soft beast-skin bed when a soft little system voice sounded in her mind.

"Dear host, a new task has been issued; would you like to check and claim it?"

The fawning tone in the voice could not be more obvious.

Wu Yue lazily squinted her eyes and nodded: "Check."

Ding~ Dear host Wu Yue, please collect as many resource samples as possible from the endless desert and submit them to the system space.

The main system will give the host rewards based on the quantity and quality of the samples~

Host Lord, would you like to take the mission?

Wu Yue stood up and walked to the tent entrance, gazing at the endless desert in the distance: "Tongzi, you take a look yourself."

Tongzi, bewildered, tiptoed on their little feet to look outside: "It's all sand, Host Lord, what do you want me to look at?"

Wu Yue chuckled: "Yeah, an endless desert, what resource samples do you want me to collect?"

Um...

After a bout of garbled code, Tongzi finally said: "Beast samples, plant samples, ore vein samples, etc. —anything the host encounters can be uploaded."

The main system will identify them automatically.

Saying that, with a somewhat envious gulp: "Of course, those three energy stones in the host's hand can also be exchanged for rewards."

Upon hearing that, Wu Yue rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Little Tongzi, you're about to snap the abacus beads onto my face."

These three gemstones are so precious; I myself am reluctant to use them, so stop scheming.

"Oh~" the system sounded aggrieved.

Although she took on the guise of Wu Duidui, Wu Yue ultimately accepted the mission.

She is now in the oasis; although the oasis in the cold season also looks rather desolate.

However, gathering some grass roots and tree branches should still be fine.

Moreover, the beastman warriors here go out hunting every day, so we can ask the Mukong shaman for some scraps of game.

?? Belated second update, wow wow~ here it comes, though late it has arrived!
