The Salt Scramble Begins
The temperature in the Beastmen world changes rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it's the hottest time of the year.
Fortunately, the temperature in the forest wasn't as high as in the desert, which made it a little more comfortable.
The White Lion Tribe, especially those living near the river, cannot live without the stream near their village during this season.
The warriors of the White Lion Tribe were all strong and powerful, and the task of fetching water every day was assigned to one of the exploration teams.
When the water-fetching team returned, a female Beastmen dressed in white animal skins walked up, her long tail swishing behind her. Pointing at one of the Beastmen carrying a bucket, she said rather rudely, "You, bring the water and come with me."
The Beastmen paused, hesitating, "But this is meant to supply water for the entire region..."
"Just because I told you to come along doesn't mean you have to. It's the young master who needs water. The young master is the chieftain's only child and will inherit the entire tribe in the future. What's wrong with him using your bucket of water?" the female Beastmen shouted.
The Beastmen carrying the water naturally dared not provoke the young master, even though he felt from the bottom of his heart that this young master would not be a good leader in the future, he still obediently followed the female Beastmen away.
The White Lion Tribe's young master's stone cave is the largest in the entire tribe, and it looks even more "luxurious" than the chieftain's residence.
The female Beastmen had water brought in and greeted the young master.
The young master appeared to be a charming beauty with lion ears and a tail. Unlike the clearly Beastmen appearance of the Ming Deer Clan, the Beastmen of the White Lion Tribe only had some of the Beastmen markings. However, in battle, they could completely transform into the appearance of a white lion, and their attack and bite were extremely powerful.
Upon hearing the maid's words, Young Master Bai Ya instructed the Beastmen came to deliver water to be careful, "Don't wake the people in my stone house."
The Beastmen was taken aback, but still did as he was told. After all, it was his young master's order; who would dare disobey?
The White Lion Tribe's chieftain lineage was more fortunate than the Ming Deer Clan, as they had been favored by a Beast God in their early years, which is why they were given the surname "White".
It is because of this that the White Lion Tribe is able to freely switch between human and beast forms.
This is one of the reasons why the White Lion Tribe has remained powerful to this day.
The Beastmen delivering the water carefully poured the water from the bucket into the pool where the young master used it, and during the process, he didn't forget to glance at the person lying on a stone bed in the stone chamber.
The other person remained motionless, seemingly still unconscious.
He had long heard that the young master had recently rescued a man, and this was Human Race! Among the surrounding tribes, the only Human Race the Beastmen had ever seen was Yue Tianze from the Calling Deer Tribe.
It is said that the other party is very knowledgeable and long-lived. I just don't know if this Human Race that their young master picked up has any special characteristics.
The Beastmen didn't dare look any longer; he was quickly urged to leave.
Once the stone house returned to silence, Bai Ya stepped forward to check on things. The female Beastmen behind her asked, "Young Master, hasn't that man woken up yet? Should we call the witch doctor to take another look?"
Bai Ya shook her head. "Forget it, the witch doctor said last time he came that he couldn't find out what illness was wrong with the other person. Whether he wakes up or not depends on himself."
Anyway, she only saved this person because of his good looks. If he really doesn't wake up, she can just throw him into an ice cave and freeze him, so she can watch him every day.
As the most honored woman in the White Lion Tribe, Bai Ya had been pampered since childhood. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her thoughts at all. After all, she was the one who saved this person, and this life should belong to her.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that our tribes are going to start another Salt Scramble?" Bai Ya suddenly asked.
The female Beastmen nodded. "Young Master, if you remember correctly, the Salt Scramble is in three days. Don't worry, Young Master, the chieftain has already arranged for several warriors from various tribes to win this Salt Scramble. Our White Lion Tribe will definitely be the winner again!"
"Of course I'm not worried about that. In all these years, when has our White Lion Tribe ever lost? I just want to go with Father to the Salt Scramble. I heard Salt Scramble's very lively." Bai Ya had previously been rejected by the tribe chief for being too young to attend such a grand event.
So this time she wanted to make a good plea; even if she couldn't go to one of the other more ferocious tribes, going to the Calling Deer Tribe would be fine too.
Apart from the Flame Tiger Tribe, the Giant Ape Tribe and the Calling Deer Tribe were not worth mentioning in that battle.
At this very moment, the seemingly insignificant Calling Deer Tribe is also preparing for the Salt Scramble three days later.
The salt pond where the Salt Scramble to take place was still quite far from the Calling Deer Tribe, so the Beastmen planned to set off first.
The chieftain was also going along this time, so he entrusted the affairs of the tribe to his daughter. He's daughter was named Ling, and she was also Yue's mother.
The other party is a smart and capable person. These days, she has also been learning cultivation from Sang Ying. It is estimated that Yue's talent is inherited from her. This mother and daughter are both rare cultivation prodigies, and they cultivate even faster than Yue Tianze, a member of the God Race.
That's why the clan chief dared to leave so decisively this time.
He entrusted all his affairs to his daughter, even giving her careful instructions before he left.
Ling listened with great impatience. "I know, Father. You've told me these things hundreds of times. My skills are no less than any of the warriors in the tribe. Don't worry!"
That's exactly what worries him!
Who knew that Lord Sang would have such ability, enabling their weak Ming Deer Clan to unleash such powerful strength?
Now, let alone the Giant Ape Tribe, he felt that they would definitely not lose even against the Beastmen of the White Lion Tribe!
God knows how astonished he was when he saw his little granddaughter catch a tiger with her bare hands and beat it into submission.
If Yue's face hadn't remained unchanged, the clan leader would have thought he had mistaken her for someone else.
Looking back at the group of tribal warriors about to head to the salt lake, and seeing their spirited appearance, the chieftain felt much more at ease. This time, they certainly wouldn't be the worst!
After giving a final reminder of the important points, the clan chief finally led his people away. Sang Ying and Yue Tianze also went with the group, and the little girl Yue was also taken along to see the world.
The group traveled at a leisurely pace, taking almost two days to finally reach the vicinity of the salt lake.
This salt lake is the largest in the vicinity; otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted the White Lion Tribe and the Flame Tiger Tribe.
The Calling Deer Tribe was the first to arrive, but according to the rules, even if they arrived first, they were not entitled to take the best spot. That spot was reserved for the strongest tribe White Lion Tribe.
Next came the Giant Ape Tribe and the Flame Tiger Tribe, with the White Lion Tribe arriving last.
Even before the Salt Scramble officially began, some Beastmen couldn't contain themselves and took the initiative to provoke them.
