The Master of Beasts

Chapter 864 288: Star Moon Tribe

Star Moon Tribe

Ten years have passed since Chen Jiuge left the Star Moon Tribe!

In these ten years, the reputation of the Star Moon Tribe has become renowned, reaching an extent in the Sunset Mountain Range where everyone knows of them.

However, this reputation is not very good; most of it is filled with rumors that the Star Moon Tribe is wealthy but not strong.

The indigenous people's minds are relatively simple, but now there are quite a few cultivators from the True Realm in the Sunset Mountain Range. Although most cultivators are captured and turned into slave laborers, there are always some lucky ones who stand out.

These lucky ones, seeking to elevate their own status, set their sights on the Star Moon Tribe.

However, with the actions of the White Ape King and the Spider Queen, some small tribes have learned through painful lessons that no matter how weak the Star Moon Tribe is, they are not to be underestimated.

The Three Lives Tribe and the Five Stars Tribe, which was mostly absorbed by the Three Lives Tribe, along with the stronger Seven Lights Tribe, harbor ill intentions toward the Star Moon Tribe, but with the emergence of the Heavenly Snake, peace has settled over the entire Sunset Mountain Range.

Even the three Heavenly Kings from the Ghost Fighting Tribe cannot do anything against the Heavenly Snake, let alone those indigenous Heavenly Kings in the Sunset Mountain Range. Their strength is far inferior to the Heavenly Kings of the larger tribes and are simply no match for the Heavenly Snake.

Thus, the Star Moon Tribe has become the second-largest tribe in the entire Sunset Mountain Range!

In the eyes of some small settlement mountain people, the Star Moon Tribe is considered the strongest, whereas the Four Seasons Tribe is just a newcomer!

This is understandable from those mountain people's perspective, given that most warriors in the Four Seasons Tribe are slaves sent by the Ghost Fighting Tribe. Other tribe members are those willing to follow Di Chun from the Three Lives Tribe, along with a few settlement mountain people.

And the former identity of the Star Moon Tribe was the Akam Tribe. As the Star Moon Tribe rapidly developed, numerous small settlements that couldn't survive joined the Star Moon Tribe, and they weren't refused. Although their living conditions could not compare to that of the original Star Moon Tribe members, they at least had enough to eat and stay warm.

This has made the Star Moon Tribe appear very noble in the eyes of smaller settlements.

Moreover, the Star Coins and food introduced by the Star Moon Tribe have aided countless small settlements and tribes, even powerful tribes like the Three Lives Tribe frequently come to the Star Moon Tribe for purchases.

........

"The City Lord has not returned!" Meng Ze, who just exited his retreat, frowned slightly.

Due to his recent breakthrough, the aura unique to a King Level cultivator lingered throughout the grand hall. Shuibing and others were fine with just a bit more pressure, as they were also in the Daluo Realm with Meng Ze's cultivation being higher but not overwhelmingly so.

But it was rather hard for Xiao Hong; Xiao Hong, who had just broken through to Golden Immortal, couldn't resist, and if not for her status as the second manager of the entire Star Moon Tribe necessitating her presence, she would have preferred to avoid this.

"Boom!"

A fierce, intense aura surged into the grand hall from the outside, clearing Meng Ze's aura within mere breaths, after which the terrifying aura was retracted.

The one who arrived was Jialouluo!

"Meng Ze, you still can't control your aura freely?"

Jialouluo asked in confusion, knowing they had both exited their retreats almost simultaneously, Jialouluo being able to control his aura perfectly, even to the point of fine manipulation.

Meng Ze responded helplessly, "It's because of the People of the Yellow Springs' flesh. I underestimated the power in their flesh; it contains an extremely potent will, and even with my Nightmare Clan's talent ability, it is difficult to completely clear."

"Then you'd better be cautious!"

"I understand, everything is under control."

"Let's discuss business, the City Lord still hasn't returned. Should we send someone to check?" Shuibing asked with a heavy heart.

Lately, the Four Seasons Tribe has been trading more food and Star Coins, and the logistics realm which was initially estimated to last over a century, is now possible, based on the current volume of trades by the Four Seasons Tribe, to sustain only for sixty years!

"No need, the City Lord left his Life Lamp within the tribe; I glanced at it earlier, and its flickering light is even brighter, suggesting he's encountered a great fortuitous event and achieved a breakthrough in cultivation!" Jialouluo said, shaking his head.

Mere ten years, which is but a nap in the True Realm, why make a fuss?

Shuibing glanced at Xiao Hong, who promptly nodded and spoke up: "The main concern is that the remaining Spiritual Beast output from our logistics realm can't keep up with the current consumption of the Star Moon Tribe!"

"Not keeping up? What kind of joke is this!" Bai Li frowned.

That's an entire small world! The Sunset Mountain Range, despite its size, cannot possibly be bigger than a small world, right?

"The higher the cultivation, the higher the quality required for consuming flesh. Though the time flow ratio between the logistics realm and the Heavenly Gift Realm is remarkably different, even reaching a hundred to one, the quality is too poor!"

"Furthermore, with the Four Seasons Tribe recently trading more high-quality Spiritual Beast Meat, even if we compress a large amount from other small tribes and settlements' high-quality flesh, we're barely keeping up."

"The progress in cultivation of a small world compared to such a large realm as the Heavenly Gift Realm is inherently lacking!"

"As for the Four Seasons Tribe?"

A surge of silence fell over them; the presence of Di Chun, a Heavenly King Level threat, was truly a sword hanging over their heads.

Even though the Heavenly Snake is also Heavenly King Level, it can at most protect the Star Moon Tribe; actively attacking Di Chun is impossible, and even if attempted, it might provoke a more terrifying response from the Ghost Fighting Tribe.

"Perhaps we need external assistance!" Shuibing sighed.

If Chen Jiuge were still here, with his Beast Taming Ability and the protection of the Heavenly Snake, even Di Chun would have no choice but to engage in honest trade, allowing the Star Moon Tribe to rapidly grow under Di Chun's beneficial exchanges.
