Chapter 919: Chapter 924: Who Are You?
The number of people coming to pick chestnuts has indeed increased.
By the time Mei Yan and Su Tang got there, the place was already crowded with people.
Mei Yan, with a troubled expression, said, "We’re still late. Do you think they could have picked all the spiky fruits clean?" 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
Su Tang looked up.
Though the chestnut trees were laden with spiky burrs, the group of female Beastmen below didn’t think of picking them; instead, they focused on scrambling for the ones that had fallen to the ground.
What is this, cat cake?
Su Tang didn’t understand.
She turned her head to Mei Yan, "Can you climb trees?"
Mei Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, why?"
Su Tang pointed to the spiky burrs above, "Go pick from the tree."
"Is that also okay?"
"Why wouldn’t it be?"
Mei Yan thought about it and felt that Su Tang made sense, but soon she faced another difficulty.
"There are so many people; how are we going to squeeze through?"
To climb the tree and reach the branches, one must first get close to the trunk, but the place was packed so tightly inside and out that it was difficult even to get near, let alone climb.
Su Tang was itching to act; she rolled up her sleeves.
Actually, since they had left the Tribe, she faintly felt that there was a strange energy lurking inside her body.
If nothing went wrong, this energy was the Primordial Power that Gaiyin and the others kept talking about.
It was a very mysterious and unfamiliar feeling, as if she could control it, but also as if she couldn’t.
Besides that, Su Tang felt that her physical strength had increased, like the feeling she had when she first transformed her physique, but now it was even more pronounced.
She reached out and grabbed Mei Yan’s arm, asking very seriously, "Ready?"
Mei Yan, with a befuddled look, "Huh? Ready for what?"
"Let’s go!"
Before her words had faded away, Su Tang, clutching Mei Yan’s arm, plunged headfirst into the crowd, barreling through.
"Ouch, who is this!"
"Such great strength; why aren’t you out hunting instead of picking spiky fruits?!"
"Ah, I’ve been pricked by a spiky fruit, it hurts!"
"You’re stepping on my foot, move aside, move aside, ow ow ow..."
The sudden charge disrupted what had been a relatively harmonious line.
Everyone was looking for the instigator, but Su Tang, with Mei Yan in tow, sang triumphantly as they made their way straight to the base of the Chestnut Tree.
Even after they had stood firm, Mei Yan was still in disbelief.
Her excited face turned red and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Tang, exclaiming, "You are really strong."
Su Tang concealed her prowess and smiled modestly, "Oh no, I’m just ordinarily strong."
No sooner had she spoken than someone grabbed her arm and yanked it hard, causing Su Tang to stumble and nearly fall.
"It was you! You’re the one who bumped into me just now!"
The female voice was sharp, buzzing in Su Tang’s head.
And the hand that gripped Su Tang’s arm was excessively forceful, as if trying to embed her fingers into it, pinching painfully.
However, considering her own actions had indeed been a bit rash, Su Tang held back.
She turned to apologize to the young female, "Sorry, I was too impulsive just now; did I hurt you?"
The female, upon seeing Su Tang, visibly paused, a flash of astonishment crossing her eyes, quickly replaced by jealousy.
Her grip on Su Tang’s arm tightened even more, her voice rising to a piercing screech.
"Who are you! Why are you in our Tribe’s Territory? What is your purpose for hiding among our people?"
It was only after hearing the voice that Mei Yan reacted, quickly stepping out from behind Su Tang.
