Chapter 211: Introducing Moluo
"Bang!"
Along with the stone bowl smashing down, a suppressed roar of fury came from within the dilapidated wooden hut.
"Damn it, are those eagle beastmen all fools? The things we offered were clearly what they need most right now, yet they listened to a female and rejected us without a second thought."
"Damn it! Damn that female!"
He was going to kill that female!
"Enough, shut your mouth."
Another, somewhat gloomy voice sounded, "That female's status in this tribe is no simple matter. If I'm not mistaken, aside from the tribe's chief and that Priest, she holds the highest position in the tribe."
"Didn't you hear that her Second Beast Husband is this tribe's Young Master? I heard her First Beast Husband is not only a Snake Beastman but also came from outside, just like us."
And this news of coming from outside was naturally deliberately leaked by Yun Li.
Although Mu Qing himself indeed came from outside, he was too young when he wandered outside. Even if he knew some things about the outside from his childhood experiences, many things had actually changed after so many years, so Yun Li's family didn't expect to gain information from Mu Qing on how to deal with outside beastmen.
On the contrary, it was Yun Li's chance friend Moluo, during his stay at the Silver Eagle Tribe, who gave Yun Li many pointers for judging the identities of these foreign beastmen.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have so easily pointed out the fact that the things they offered were actually a pile of junk, causing these originally confident foreign beastmen to suffer a Waterloo as soon as they arrived at the Silver Eagle Tribe.
"... But if this continues, how can we gain their trust? You know, this tribe even has Blue Rank Beastmen. Compared to the few small tribes we've been to before, their strength is terrifyingly strong."
As the lowered voices kept coming from the wooden hut, the beastman keeping watch outside also instinctively lowered his aura to the minimum. Only after daybreak the next day, when he saw those beastmen take their people back up the mountain, did he transform back into his beast form and fly toward the mountain.
"Has some news come?"
Seeing Ji Xuan and Leng Xian whispering something together, Yun Li couldn't help but approach them.
Seeing the female's curiosity, a slightly mocking smile curled at the corner of Leng Xiu's lips, "We did hear some useful news, but I'm afraid you won't be happy to hear it."
Yun Li drew out a long "Mm," her eyes carrying a questioning look as she glanced at them.
Seeing her like this, Leng Xiu's smile faded a little, and his tone turned gloomy, "They're quite bold, actually planning to start with you and the cubs."
Although what they discussed was only using good-looking males to deliberately get close to A Li and then take the chance to strike at her, this matter undoubtedly touched a raw nerve in Leng Xiu's heart.
After hearing this, Yun Li was somewhat surprised. She first reached out to hold Leng Xiu's arm to soothe him, then asked in confusion:
"Did you hear what their specific purpose is for coming to the Silver Eagle Tribe?"
Those beastmen had only been at the Silver Eagle Tribe for three days, yet they were already so eager to make a move on her—this was simply too disrespectful to their tribe.
"We haven't heard their purpose for coming to the Silver Eagle Tribe yet, but it's now certain they have no goodwill toward us."
Even though A Li had refused to trade with them at the time, she had done her best to save face for them. To still harbor murderous intent toward a female they had only just met—it was clear they had never truly regarded the Silver Eagle Tribe in their eyes.
However, Ji Xuan was also curious. These beastmen were at most Qing Rank Beastmen in strength. Knowing that their tribe had several Blue Rank Beastmen, how could they dare to have ill intentions toward his female?
Could it be that they had a Purple Rank Beast Person hidden behind them?
Over here, after listening to Ji Xuan's words, Yun Li was also thinking about what the tribe should do next. Since they knew these beastmen harbored ill intentions, they naturally couldn't let them leave easily.
But their time in contact with them was still too short. Yun Li thought that if they could figure out their true purpose for coming to the Silver Eagle Tribe, they could quickly decide whether to kill or let them go.
"A Li"
"Hm?"
Yun Li snapped back to reality at her beast husband's call. Seeing the expressions on their faces that suggested they wanted to discuss something with her, she asked directly, "What is it?"
If there's something, just say it—aren't they family?
"We want to get to know that Moluo. I think he should know some details about those foreign beastmen."
Hearing Leng Xiu say this, Yun Li pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, when I see him later, I'll introduce you to him."
"But regarding those foreign beastmen, I actually asked him about it too. He told me he doesn't know where those beastmen are from."
At this, a flicker of something quickly passed through Leng Xiu's eyes, "Is that so? That's fine. We're also curious about things outside. When we meet, there should be plenty of topics to talk about."
Ji Xuan's tone also became gentler, "When A Li was chatting with Moluo before, did you hear where he's from? His strength isn't low; he must be a remarkable beastman outside."
"He seems to be from the north, a place called the Northern Wasteland."
Yun Li stopped there, "I didn't ask too carefully. Moluo doesn't seem as rough as he appears on the surface; he's very cautious in both speech and action, so I can't probe too deeply into many things."
After all, they hadn't known each other long. If it weren't for the modern knowledge in her mind that enriched her, making Moluo find her special and want to learn more about what was in her head, he probably wouldn't take care of her like he does now.
After hearing this, Leng Xiu fell into thought, "Then it seems we need to make thorough preparations as well."
If that Moluo was as calculating as A Li said, then getting the information they wanted from such a beastman would likely not be an easy task for him and Ji Xuan.
"Let's have Mu Qing join us then. Since Moluo is willing to stay in the tribe for so long, it means our tribe must have something he wants."
As soon as Ji Xuan said this, Yun Li, as if thinking of something, said to them, "Moluo once told me that there are still quite a few beastmen outside who wear animal hides, so he might want our tribe's clothing-making technique."
Yun Li brought this up to let them use this technique to exchange with Moluo for information more useful to the tribe, if necessary.
After all, Moluo was a merchant who traveled far and wide; giving him this thing was no big deal.
As long as he went far enough, knowing this technique wouldn't pose any threat to the tribe.
Hearing their female say this, Ji Xuan and Leng Xiu exchanged a glance and both nodded in agreement.
"A Li, besides what we've just talked about, do you know anything else about Moluo?"
The question Leng Xiu asked this time carried his own hidden agenda, but Yun Li didn't notice.
She thought very seriously about what kind of beastman she knew Moluo to be.
