Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 128

On the second day of the exchange event, Lin and Ken stood on the open ground by the lake, waiting for challenges from their tribes. Ken gritted his teeth and said, “Why, as tribe chiefs, do we still have to face threats from other tribes?”

Lin looked at the eager beastmen from the Giant Fox Tribe and replied, “That’s because our tribe isn’t strong enough yet, so we naturally can’t have the final say. Once we are strong enough, we won’t have to worry about these things.” As he spoke, his eyes glanced greedily at Wu Xiaoyin in the crowd.

Ken then saw the first challenger from the Giant Snake Tribe approaching. He let out a loud roar and charged forward. Being the strongest young beastman in his tribe, he easily defeated the first opponent and shouted at his hesitant tribe members, “Is there anyone else? Let’s fight!”

Lin observed Ken’s situation and then saw beastmen from the Giant Fox Tribe approaching him. His desire for power surged in his heart. With a powerful push of his left foot, Lin charged forward to begin today’s challenges.

Wu Xiaoyin watched as Lin and Ken faced all the beastmen from their tribes who wanted to challenge them. He asked in confusion, “Do you think Lin and Ken can win? And why do they have to accept challenges from any beastman in their tribe?”

Lei Lu glanced at Lin and Ken who were fighting fiercely, rubbed Xiao Xiao’s head gently, and replied, “That’s because their position as tribe chief was not recognized by the Beast God, nor were they appointed with the approval of all the tribe members. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many beastmen willing to challenge them.”

Wu Xiaoyin looked into Lei Lu’s eyes and asked, “Doesn’t the succession of tribe chiefs require the recognition of the Beast God? I still understand the need for the tribe members’ approval, which means they have to win their support, but how is the recognition of the beastmen determined?”

Lei Lu thought for a moment before replying, “I’m not entirely sure. After all, when I was born, Uncle Kun was already our tribe’s chief, so I’ve never witnessed the specific succession ceremony of the chief. However, the continent’s records say that a chief’s succession requires a priest to pray to the heavens, and the Beast God will inform the priest whether the person is suitable to become a tribe chief.”

Wu Xiaoyin said without thinking, “But what Lin and Ken are doing definitely wouldn’t earn the Beast God’s recognition, right? So how did they manage to become tribe chiefs? Didn’t the priest object?”

Lei Lu watched as Lin and Ken continued to defeat their challengers, and they still had energy to spare. He said, “That’s because there are no tribe members in the Giant Snake Tribe or Giant Fox Tribe who have received the Beast God’s approval. Thus, the priest couldn’t select the next tribe chief through divine means. Since Lin and Ken are among the candidates, defeating the other candidates allows them to take the position of chief.”

“Can a tribe chief who hasn’t received the Beast God’s recognition really lead their tribe to a strong and bright future?” Wu Xiaoyin was somewhat convinced by his own experience of transmigrating, and he leaned towards believing in the existence of gods.

Lei Lu replied bluntly, “Of course not. The number of challengers shows that. While the Giant Fox Tribe and Giant Snake Tribe are cunning and unpredictable, there is no member in their own tribe who does not wish for their tribe to grow stronger. After all, only when their tribe is strong can they hope to advance themselves.”

“But haven’t they already failed once before? Even with the round-robin battle this time, their chances of success are still low. They don’t seem very tired.” Wu Xiaoyin expressed his concerns about Lin and Ken’s potential victory.

Lei Lu said mysteriously, “Even if they succeed, they won’t last long.”

Wu Xiaoyin was really shocked this time. Lei Lu’s demeanor seemed mysterious. He felt that it somewhat resembled the mysterious words of a priest. “How do you know? They look fine to me.”

Lei Lu looked up at the sky and then at the land. “That’s because the Beast God will make a judgment in the center of the Beastman Continent. I’m sure there will be a result before we leave.”

Wu Xiaoyin felt dizzy. Was there really divine judgment in this world?!

But the result came faster than Wu Xiaoyin imagined. That very night, as he packed his clothes and the light gauze he had traded for, he was startled by the continuous beast roars, especially the chilling sounds of snakes mixed in. It sent shivers down Wu Xiaoyin’s spine.

Just as he wondered whether to go outside to see, Lei Lu returned from the tribe chief’s tent. He picked up Xiao Xiao and headed toward the source of the noise.

Soon, Wu Xiaoyin understood why there were such agonizing beast roars. It turned out that Lin and Ken were engulfed in flames, and the surrounding beastmen watched coldly. Even their own tribe members offered no help. They just watched quietly the self-igniting Lin and Ken, waiting for the Beast God’s final judgment.

And Wu Xiaoyin finally understood what divine punishment meant!
