Leisurely Life in the Beast World - Chapter 196

After returning to the tribe, Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan informed Ge Xing and the shaman about the location of Lu Shi and Lu Te.

“If I’m not mistaken, the valley they’re hiding in used to be a base for the hyena beastmen,” Ge Xing, the chief, mused after a moment of thought.

Ji Nuan was surprised. “They actually managed to find that place? That’s… unexpected.”

Xiu Yan, having snatched a handful of dried fruit from Ge Xing earlier, handed it to Ji Nuan. “The location they picked has no trees, and prey rarely ventures there, so wild beasts wouldn’t go near it either. It’s actually a pretty safe spot.”

The three beastmen seated on the kang bed exchanged glances, realizing the logic. A place without prey would naturally also lack predators.

“Since we’ve found them, we need to organize beastmen to hunt down Lu Te and Lu Shi,” the shaman declared. “Otherwise, they’ll continue to target Ji Nuan.”

Ge Xing clenched his large fists. “I’ll organize the beastmen immediately. We can’t let them get away…”

Pausing mid-sentence, he turned to look slyly at Ji Nuan and the others. “Should we inform the three other tribes about this?”

Ji Nuan rolled her eyes. “Uncle Ge Xing, are you planning to test them, or use them as cannon fodder?”

She left the last part unsaid, but both Xiu Yan and the shaman understood her implication.

Whenever Ge Xing had a mischievous idea, his expression became particularly sly.

Xiu Yan’s wolf eyes narrowed dangerously. “Of course, we’ll involve them. We can’t protect a group of beastmen who might turn against our tribe at any moment.”

Ge Xing coughed awkwardly. “Then I’ll go and notify them.”

As Ge Xing’s figure disappeared out the door, Ji Nuan, Xiu Yan, and the shaman exchanged amused glances and shook their heads.

Ge Xing’s arrival caused a stir among the three tribes, throwing their leadership into turmoil.

Bei Ni had called Ya Li into a cave. Watching a small kitten clinging to Ya Li’s shoulder, he sighed helplessly but chose to ignore it. “What do you think about what Ge Xing just said?”

Ya Li stroked the kitten’s soft fur as he replied, “We have to participate. We’ve already agreed to join the Watson Tribe, so we must follow their leadership. Besides, Lu Te killed so many of our tribe members to feed wild beasts. He can no longer be considered one of us.”

Bei Ni sighed again. “I know, but as for the remaining beastmen…”

Ya Li suddenly sat upright, gripping Bei Ni’s arm tightly. His dark eyes stared firmly at him. “Shaman, the beastmen who followed Lu Te have already betrayed the tribe. We need to prioritize the safety of those who left with us to join the Watson Tribe.”

Bei Ni lowered his gaze and nodded. “If that’s the case, you should lead the beastmen from our tribe tomorrow. Now go. I need to rest…”

After observing Bei Ni for a moment, Ya Li finally picked up the sleeping kitten from his shoulder and left the cave.

Outside, the moonlight blanketed the white earth with a silvery sheen.

“Let’s rest now. Tomorrow is an important day.” The soft meows of the kitten and the crunch of Ya Li’s footsteps on the snow created a strangely harmonious melody.

The beastmen of the Liangshan Tribe had no objections to joining the operation. Since they had chosen to follow the Watson Tribe, it was natural to comply with their decisions. the chief, Pei De, immediately selected half of their beastmen to participate in the upcoming battle against Lu Te.
