Chapter 1018, They’re Here Again!
Translator: Silavin
*Splish splash…* The rainy season was slowly approaching its end, and the rainfall was no longer as heavy as before.
The water that had accumulated in the forest was also starting to slowly recede, though it was still full of danger.
Each stage had its own dangers. Previously, when the water was deeper, there were some Ferocious Beasts with particularly massive bodies.
At that time, going into the water meant instant death. Now that the water was shallower, the danger still existed the same, only now it came from some smaller-sized Ferocious Beasts.
They might be as small as a palm, but one could not underestimate these Ferocious Beasts. Generally, these Ferocious Beasts operated in groups, much like the piranhas from Earth.
Sha Lan was currently leading Warriors to clear out these Ferocious Beasts, because if they were not managed well, they might crawl up onto the shore.
The reason this mission was assigned to her was because she had a Water Beaver accompanying her.
Water Beavers loved water and were perfectly at ease in it, with combat capabilities that were quite remarkable.
“Qiong Ba, drive away all those Ferocious Beasts trying to approach our Tribe. If you encounter any danger, don’t try to be brave, make sure to come back and report.” Sha Lan instructed seriously.
Sha Lan didn’t want her pet to get injured, though it was rare that it could be put to such good use.
Previously, most relied on Yan Hua’s Peak Eagle, after all, it flew in the sky and was very useful.
Qiong Ba nodded and immediately dove back into the water, swimming rapidly. Its light blue fur merged perfectly with the water. Its swimming speed was extremely fast, just like a conscientious patrol soldier.
*Puuuhhh…* Qiong Ba suddenly popped its head out and shot a water jet towards a direction in the forest.
This was Water Beaver’s special skill. Its body stored large amounts of water for extended periods, and when encountering danger or enemies… Its abdomen would suddenly exert force, firing the water inside like a high-pressure water gun.
Anyone hit by this high-pressure water jet would likely die or at least break bones. The lethality was quite astonishing.
Many people and Ferocious Beasts were often deceived by Water Beaver’s cute appearance, always thinking it was completely harmless, only to end up losing through carelessness.
“What’s wrong, Qiong Ba?” Sha Lan instantly became serious and immediately had the other Warrior Trainees prepare themselves.
Sha Lan sometimes also helped lead Warrior Trainees, just like right now.
Because there were too many things for Warriors to do in the Tribe, relying on just one or two leaders, they could not handle it all. They definitely needed some more experienced Warriors to help lead them.
*Li li li…* Qiong Ba appeared particularly agitated, continuously calling towards the direction where it had just shot the water jet.
“It’s us, we’re people from Earth Tiger Tribe, I’m not people trying to invade your Tribe.” A female voice came from not far away.
As the words fell, Yini, Ci, and the others slowly revealed themselves, also rapidly advancing towards the direction of Flame Dragon Tribe.
They were not fools either. They obviously knew the water was very dangerous, so they were all travelling between trees.
This way of advancing was more tiring, unlike on the ground where they could progress normally. They had to constantly jump around. And when jumping, they also had to be very careful. Who knew if the next tree branch they landed on had already rotted.
If they accidentally fell into the water, escaping in time would be fortunate, but if they couldn’t, there would only be a dead end.
“Why is it people again? It’s still the rainy season, why are you here? Or did you never return at all?” Sha Lan reopened her umbrella, expecting this to take a little bit of time.
“We went back, and then came out again.” Yini’s gaze was immediately drawn to that umbrella.
She had never seen such a thing before. It felt very finely crafted. Most importantly, the person under this strange thing was completely dry from the rain, which inevitably made one’s heart flutter.
“So, what are you here to do this time? Trade? I don’t think that to be true.” Sha Lan saw they had nothing on them, so obviously they weren’t here to trade.
“We also want to trade, but this time, we have a different agenda. We came with sincerity.” Yini withdrew her gaze.
Mainly because she was staring too obviously and the other party had already noticed. If she didn’t withdraw her gaze, it would be too embarrassing.
“Then register at the entrance, we need to check all of you before letting you in.” Sha Lan gestured towards the old place.
Then she turned back and gave the Warrior Trainee beside her a look, signalling him to get someone to come over.
Now at the Tribe entrance, apart from patrolling Warriors and Warrior Trainees, there were no extra people.
The people who originally checked at the entrance had long since gone to rest. No one expected anyone to come during the rainy season.
“Don’t worry, this isn’t our first time here. We know how the process works.” Yini said softly.
She instantly felt a strong sense of familiarity. Sure enough, Flame Dragon Tribe was more to her taste.
Half an hour later, Yini and the others passed through the process and successfully entered Flame Dragon Tribe.
“Our Shaman has been very tired recently. Today, I’m afraid there’s no way to receive you. You should go stay at the Restful Night Building for the night yourselves. I’ll mention this matter to the Chieftain.” Sha Lan said deliberately, word by word.
She was intentionally doing this; to let them know they couldn’t just see the Shaman whenever they wanted.
Saying they could see him tomorrow did not necessarily mean they could actually see him tomorrow. This was just an excuse.
Of course, this was all previously arranged by Su Bai. He had already predicted someone would come some time ago.
“We understand. If the Chieftain has any response, you can tell me at any time.” Yini brushed her rain-soaked hair.
She really envied the umbrella the other party was holding. That feeling of staying completely dry was truly wonderful.
Looking at herself, like a drowned rat, the contrast was truly stark.
“Of course. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first. Help yourselves.” Sha Lan turned and left.
Sha Lan also instructed the soldiers to pay more attention to them during patrol, lest they start hatching some schemes again.
“Alright.” Yini nodded.
After turning around, Yini immediately took the Warriors to the Restful Night Building, wanting to quickly take a bath and get comfortable.
