Chapter 354: Chapter 355: Sneaking into the Valley
Ye Qiao waved his hand impatiently, "I got it! You’re prattling on like an old woman—so annoying!"
Wen Jue: "..."
What to do when your wife despises you?
What else can you do? Just continue doting on her!
So, with the valley entrance as the boundary, Ye Qiao went around from the right side of the valley, and Wen Jue from the left side, until they met.
Just as the plan was set, before he even had a chance to go into further details, Ye Qiao impatiently slipped away.
Resigned, Wen Jue shook his head and hunkered down to slip away as well.
At that moment, he spotted a figure stumbling towards the valley entrance.
Upon closer look, wasn’t this one of the two Beastmen they had encountered when they first entered the Death Forest?
What was he doing here?
No, more precisely, how had he escaped?
Did he escape alone, or did all those Beastmen managed to get away?
His brow furrowed involuntarily. Wen Jue was just about to catch him when the patrolling Beastmen also spotted this Beastman.
Not wanting to stir up trouble, Wen Jue had no choice but to observe them quietly for now.
Holding a long spear in hand, Meng Ze pointed at Ge Luo, "Who are you? How did you get here?"
Ge Luo weakly collapsed onto the ground, "I am Ge Luo, from Upper Beast City. Is this the Winged Tiger Tribe? I have urgent business with your chieftain!"
Meng Ze frowned, carefully sizing up the Beastman before him.
He seemed tiny and thin, like the Weasel Beastmen in his tribe, completely non-threatening. He only wore a beast skin skirt, which was dirty and ragged.
He claimed to be from Upper Beast City, but how would people from Upper Beast City know their tribe was settled here?
Regardless of whether this Beastman was speaking the truth or not, he could not be allowed to leave.
He poked Ge Luo’s thigh with his spear, "Get up and follow me."
Ge Luo was overjoyed, not expecting to gain their trust so easily. He immediately stood up and followed behind Meng Ze.
Distrustful of this Beastman, Sen Tao ordered two other Beastmen to escort them, leaving only himself and one other Beastman patrolling outside the valley.
Meng Ze nodded his approval. As a Divine Brave Warrior, he was the most reliable choice to escort this unfamiliar Beastman.
"We will be back soon. Please keep an eye on the valley entrance!"
Sen Tao waved his hand, "Relax, no one can get past me!"
The valley entrance was fairly large, just enough for five people to keep watch. With only Sen Tao and another Beastman remaining, it was quite a strain.
So, seizing the opportunity while they had their backs turned, Wen Jue quietly slipped in.
Before going in, he shot a sneaky glance at Sen Tao. Yeah, this Beastman would never suspect that he had slipped in!
But once he was in, he started to regret it. The valley was empty, except for some trees near the mountainside. The inside of the valley was like a flatland, with no place to conceal oneself.
Without time for further thought, he slipped into a group of trees on the side of the valley, which was better than standing in the grassland as a live target.
But what Wen Jue hadn’t thought of—
Just as he entered the forest, without even going far, he detected a faint stench.
Immediately afterward, a burly figure stood from the grass and took a deep breath, "Ah~ Comfortable!"
The two were only about five or six meters apart; they faced each other silently.
Wen Jue narrowed his eyes, claw at the ready.
