Touched by the young female’s concern, a clear smile spread across Yuan Lang’s face. "Don’t worry, I’m fine."
"The hunt was a joint effort between three tribes. We looked out for each other, so there were no deaths."
He then briefly told Wu Yue about the Fierce Beast hunt, but he skipped over the dangerous parts.
Wu Yue, of course, saw the scars on the Beastman’s arms and cheeks, but since he said it wasn’t dangerous, she didn’t press the matter.
She just took so more dicinal powder from the small basket beside her and handed it to him. "Take this powder and distribute it to the injured Beastman Warriors."
Then, she looked at him and asked, "Do you guys have enough food?"
Yuan Lang raised an eyebrow. "Beastman Warriors don’t go hungry."
Nearby, Blue Fatty, who had been eavesdropping with its butt in the air, imdiately lifted its chubby head. "AWOO AWOO."
’Host, don’t listen to him brag. In past rainy seasons when food was scarce, plenty of Beastn have starved to death.’
Yuan Lang, of course, couldn’t hear Blue Fatty badmouthing him and continued, "Besides, didn’t our Wuyue discover a new food source?"
Wu Yue raised an eyebrow. "You an the Iron Claw Worms?"
Yuan Lang sat down behind the pile of grass, his lips curling into a cool arc. "I never knew these bugs were edible."
"Your holand had Iron Claw Worms too?"
The Beastman nodded. "We did. So villages were even abandoned because of infestations."
"Boss! Boss!"
Just as they were speaking, Teng Qian’s familiar, booming voice echoed from outside the cave.
Wu Yue said with a laugh, "His butt was nearly chewed to pieces, yet he’s still so full of energy."
Yuan Lang stood up. "As long as it’s not completely destroyed, he’ll always be like this."
Hearing this, Wu Yue’s eyes curved into smiling crescents. "Let’s go out and see—"
Before the word was fully out of her mouth, a boisterous, shaggy head poked in through the entrance, flashing a mouthful of pearly whites in a sleazy grin. "Boss! Yue! What are you two up to?"
Wu Yue was mortified. "..."
’She and Yuan Lang had just been sitting in the cave having a simple chat, but with this guy’s sleazy grin, it suddenly felt like they were in the middle of so secret, illicit affair.’
Yuan Lang walked over and raised his foot to kick Teng Qian’s butt, but Teng Qian dodged with a grimace. "Boss, I ca to get you for the feast! They took off that Iron Claw Worm that was stuck on my butt the whole trip, and it should be about cooked by now. The sll... SSSS..."
As he spoke, he let out an audible slurp of drool. "It slls absolutely amazing."
Yuan Lang gave him a disgusted look. "You can still eat an Iron Claw Worm that’s been chewing on your ass?"
Teng Qian chuckled. "Don’t they say, ’eat what you want to replenish’? It ate my ass, so I’ll eat it to get it back."
At this, never mind Wu Yue, even Yuan Lang lost all interest in participating. "So you’re asking to co eat the Iron Claw Worm that ate your ass?"
Teng Qian’s face stiffened. ’Now that I think about it, that does sound a little weird, huh.’
He imdiately gave a dry laugh, clutched his rear, and scurried away with a sheepish chuckle.
Because of the bountiful return of Yuan Lang and his team, the smiles on the faces of the Clan Leader and the witch were much wider.
And so that night, following the victory feast from the day before, another feast for an unknown reason was held.
Aside from the few who knew it was because Yuan Lang’s group had brought back a great many Crystal Cores, the rest of the tribe was completely baffled, including the Beastman Warriors from the Scorpion Tribe.
Sitting by the fire and gnawing on a piece of sizzling, greasy roasted at, the Angry Beast’s expression was sour. Watching the Beastman in the distance talking with that scary little female, he couldn’t help but touch his own face.
’Why is there a Beastman in this little tribe in the Polar Forest who’s better looking than ?’
He took a vicious bite of the roasted at in his hand, feeling that his own good looks had been challenged. He was not happy.
Just then, a Beastman clutching his rear walked over, dangling the tattered remains of an Iron Claw Worm that was little more than a backside. "Heard your tribe has a couple of real daredevils who abducted Wu Yue?"
The two aforentioned Beastn, the tips of whose hair were still dyed white, furtively lowered their heads and tried to make themselves invisible.
’They can’t see ... they can’t see ...’
’But among a crowd of beastn with black and blue hair, you two are the only ones with an ombré style. Did you really think you could hide?’
’You stuck out like a sore thumb!’
Teng Qian sidled over with a mischievous grin and clapped the two Beastn on their shoulders. "I’ve gotta say, you two are really sothing. In our tribe, Yue is the one with the most tricks up her sleeve. Who gave you the guts to ss with her?"
The two Beastn wept silently. ’It was our tribe’s witch, of course!’
