Chapter 244: Chapter 245: Joining the City Defense Team
Huang Yuan’s face suddenly became much uglier, but when he met Gaiyin’s gaze that seemed to penetrate into his heart, he dared not make a sound.
Just as he was preparing to leave, Huang Yuan jumped out again.
"Holy Lady, since it’s about excavating the cave, these people are enough, I won’t go, I’ll stay here to take care of other tribesmen instead."
Su Tang was just about to explain something.
Gaiyin interrupted with a smile that wasn’t quite one, "Alright."
After finishing his sentence, he scanned the other Beastmen, "Is there anyone else who wants to stay behind? Or anyone who wants to go excavate the cave?"
With this question, a few more Beastmen hesitated, expressing their unwillingness to go. Gaiyin nodded, but didn’t insist, only stating that no one would be forced.
Later, more than ten Beastmen left in succession. Of the original thirty-plus, only less than twenty remained.
Yan Li stood in the crowd, his face flush, looking extremely embarrassed!
Although he was nominally the chief of the Piercing Stone Beastmen, everyone knew that the real person in charge was Huang Yuan.
Even he knew Uncle Huang Yuan’s petty schemes, not to mention the astute Winged Tiger Tribal Chief. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
"Anybody else?"
Seeing that Gaiyin’s expression remained unchanged, the Beastmen who stepped down were secretly relieved.
After seeing that there was no further movement from the crowd, Gaiyin nodded again.
"The next words, I’ll only say once, the Beastmen who will be digging the cave today will be enlisted in the City Defense Team. Only they will be allowed to access the blueprints for the city wall construction. The Superpower awakening cultivation methods will also be given priority to them..."
Before Gaiyin could finish his words, the remaining over 100 Piercing Stone Beastmen erupted in disbelief.
"What?! How can this be?"
"Isn’t it just about digging a cave? I can do it! Choose me, choose me!"
"Holy Lady, is it too late for me to say I want to dig the cave now?"
"Yeah, yeah, we all want to dig the cave!"
Seeing the tribesmen arguing in desperation to be part of the excavation, Huang Yuan frowned in displeasure.
He chastised them quietly, "All of you, quiet! What kind of spectacle are you making?"
Huang Yuan was not at all flustered, in fact, he felt somewhat smug.
The Winged Tiger Tribal Chief was still too young. Surely he didn’t think that he could disrupt the Piercing Stone Beastmen’s camaraderie this way, did he?
No matter how many people were going to dig the cave today, as long as one person saw the design blueprints, it would mean that the Piercing Stone Tribe would own them. As long as one person learned the practice method, then the entire Piercing Stone Tribe would have learned it.
Huang Yuan couldn’t guarantee anything else, but he had confidence in this.
However, when he met Gaiyin’s gaze, which was dark and bright, as if containing a vortex that could suck people in, he shivered slightly.
Immediately afterward, Gaiyin’s words completely shattered his illusions.
"The Beastmen who are enlisted in the city defense team must swear to the Beast God that they will not disseminate anything they learn in the Winged Tiger Tribe to outsiders, even if they are their own tribesmen. Now, is there anyone among you who wants to quit the city defense team?"
The dozen or so Beastmen looked at each other and quickly shook their heads.
Not to mention anything else, even the cultivation methods that could awaken their Superpower were alluring enough. If they were to quit now, that would really be stupid!
Huang Yuan’s face turned ashen after hearing this, but he didn’t say anything.
The over 100 Piercing Stone Beastmen were becoming restless again.
Gaiyin lifted his hand to quiet them and said, "Those who are not in the City Defense Team needn’t worry..."
