Chapter 633
Thinking back to how the new leader of the Tengshe tribe had cherished and protected that beautiful female, Peng Jun clicked his tongue inwardly. It must be that Black Bear and Cangye had some designs on him and touched a nerve.
However, he also instinctively disliked, and even feared, Shi You, therefore...
He sighed dramatically, saying with concern, "That new leader of the Tengshe tribe looks extremely fierce. I'm afraid his appearance is not a good thing for the entire Great Wilderness Mountain. I wonder how he became the leader of the Tengshe tribe? I wonder what happened to the original leader?"
Unfortunately, since their Tengshe tribe has already recognized the new leader, other tribes have no reason to interfere. On the contrary, if they step forward, they will only be targeted by Shi You, which is a real loss.
Cang Ye also twitched the corner of his mouth, seemingly worried, and said, "I just hope he won't bring disaster to the Great Wilderness Mountain."
Peng Jun looked up at the sky and murmured, "I'm afraid it's difficult. The Beast God will never allow such an unorthodox leader to exist."
Cang Ye agreed, "Then we need to be prepared."
The two exchanged a glance, each seeing calculation and cooperation in the other's eyes.
Shi You will definitely become their stumbling block. Just to get that beautiful female, they must get rid of him!
The orcs of the two tribes were unaware of the shady schemes and plots in their leaders' hearts. They only thought their leaders were truly great and were full of concern for the orcs of the Great Wilderness Mountain. As a result, they grew to hate the arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable Tengshe leader even more.
They all supported their leader and expressed their willingness to help them kill the scourge.
Peng Jun and Cang Ye's eyes flashed with a sinister satisfaction. The Great Wilderness Mountain didn't need a particularly powerful Teng Snake leader anyway.
Besides, why should Shi You be able to monopolize that beautiful female?
but……
Peng Jun asked Cang Ye with some hesitation, "Was that female really a divine messenger?"
Cang Ye shook his head with a somewhat serious expression. "I don't know."
Peng Jun also fell silent.
If a divine messenger really appears in the Great Wilderness Mountain, especially since she seems quite hostile towards them, it would be terrible for them.
Cangye said meaningfully, "Perhaps the divine messenger has simply been misled by someone."
That "who" is naturally Shi You.
If they get rid of Shi You, what can't they have?
Peng Jun's eyes lit up, and he patted Cang Ye on the shoulder, "Brother Cang Ye, the future of the Great Wilderness Mountain depends on us."
Cang Ye continued, "Don't forget about Brother Black Bear."
Although the black bear leader is stubborn and self-willed, his advantage lies in his lack of intelligence, making him perfect for drawing aggro and leading the charge.
The key is that the beastmen of the Black Bear tribe are all strong and capable fighters. It is no surprise that, if we don't count the new leader Tengshe who suddenly appeared, the Black Bear leader is the most powerful in terms of combat strength alone.
If he weren't impulsive and lacking in intelligence, Peng Jun and Cang Ye wouldn't have tolerated him.
Therefore, how could they possibly tolerate Shi You, especially since he was so arrogant!
...
The central temple of the Great Wilderness Mountain is a magnificent white stone building, surrounded by a forest of stone pillars, all adorned with lifelike and exquisitely crafted reliefs of mythical beasts. It is clear at a glance that these are works of art that the primitive beastmen could not have created.
They also lacked artistic talent; after all, in this era, orcs struggled to even get enough to eat, let alone create art.
Thus, the temple and these reliefs serve as proof that gods once existed in this world.
Unfortunately, times have changed, and the world has transformed. Now, this land, once enclosed by treacherous, continuous mountain ranges, is inhabited only by a group of uncivilized orcs.
No one knows where God has gone.
Wen Xin stood in the square in front of the temple, her gaze sweeping over the incredible civilization in the primitive world before settling on the tightly closed stone gate.
In my memory, behind the door was the main hall where the five major tribal beast gods were enshrined, and stone statues of the divine beasts were placed inside.
However, the primitive orcs did not have incense or candles, and they used fresh wild animals as offerings for each worship ceremony.
Sometimes, they would even offer the flesh and blood of living orcs as sacrifices, but this usually happened when some disaster struck the Great Wilderness Mountains that the orcs could not overcome.
For example, the continuous torrential rain a month later.
Wen Xin's red lips curved slightly. In their past lives, they used fragments of souls for sacrifices. How about we use the leaders of the five major tribes for this torrential rain?
Wen Xin glanced at the handsome and taciturn man beside her. Oh, I misspoke. The priests only need an even number of priests. With Bai Yan, the four of them are enough.
When Shi You met the gaze of the little female, her jade-like eyes were clear, cold, and sparkling, dazzlingly bright.
Wen Xin almost drowned in that focused gaze.
Her curled eyelashes fluttered slightly. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The aloof young man lowered his eyes, seemingly a little embarrassed, his thin lips slightly pursed, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Wen Xin: "..."
So it wasn't that he deliberately didn't talk to her when he was in his beast form; it was simply because he was a taciturn person who couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Wen Xin rubbed her forehead, realizing she had hit the nail on the head.
There were quite a few buildings in the temple, so Wen Xin dragged a certain taciturn guy to claim some first.
Although it is said to occupy land, in reality, the residences of the five tribes in the temple were fixed.
Those palace buildings have existed for who knows how many years, yet they remain sturdy. What's amazing is that even though no one has lived there for a long time, there's hardly any dust, except for an exceptionally cold and damp atmosphere.
As for why the beastmen of the Great Wilderness Mountain don't live in such good buildings, but instead live in caves outside...
One reason is that they revered the beast god and considered this place to be a sacred place of the god, so they could not stay there for long.
There are also rumors that, apart from the celebrations, living here will bring a curse.
Secondly, the beastmen all have their own settlements, and their ancestors have lived in these settlements for countless generations. They are familiar with the environment, it is convenient to hunt, and food is usually guaranteed. How could they possibly migrate at will?
The temple looks very large, but if all five tribes were moved here, there wouldn't be enough land.
Thus, in order to prevent chaotic warfare, the five major tribes took the lead in checking and balancing each other, and none of them could arbitrarily offend the sacred land.
But Wen Xin remembered that after the rainstorm, many tribes' settlements were flooded. At that time, in order to escape Shi You's pursuit, Bai Yan and the others could only bring their surviving tribesmen to this place.
Despite being in a valley, the terrain here is exceptionally favorable, preventing floods and ensuring ample food supplies.
There wasn't any curse at the time... well, it doesn't seem like it, because Shi You came over in the end and almost slaughtered all of Bai Yan's capable subordinates.
So, if this can be considered a curse, then it can be explained to some extent.
...
Although the White Tiger Tribe and the Teng Snake Tribe were located almost the entire length of the Great Wilderness Mountain, one in the east and one in the west, their temple residences were adjacent.
