Chapter 32 Humanoid Power Bank
Shen Nong: I'm afraid of the dark.
Shen Nong chuckled softly upon hearing the response; she was quite obedient.
The Mu tribe members also heard Lu Shuang's response and followed the sound in the dark to search for her.
A moment later, Hu Xiao touched his head and said, "Oops, I think I bumped into someone."
Rabbit Wind coughed lightly beside him, "Me too..."
Cat Cloud rolled its eyes in the darkness, "Can't you two be a little more careful? Always so reckless..."
Cat Cloud suddenly fell silent. She felt her nose hit a "soft wall," and she pretended to take a few steps back as if nothing had happened.
Tiger Roar reached out and touched the person standing next to him. He leaned closer and whispered, "Rabbit Wind, Cat Cloud must have bumped into someone too..."
"Yes, I know."
Upon hearing the sound, Tiger Roar was so startled that he quickly let go. "Cat Cloud? Wasn't Rabbit Wind here just now?"
Rabbit Wind turned its head in the darkness, "Tiger Roar, did you call me?"
Based on the sound, Tiger Roar deduced that Rabbit Wind was not far in front of him, rather than beside him.
That's it, during training, Maoyun will definitely go all out against him.
Time was precious, so Shen Nong interrupted them, "Scatter, I will restore your sizes and carry the people of the Water Tribe out."
He reminded him, "According to Monkey Five, there are seven people in total. Make sure there are at least seven."
After the members of the Wood Tribe regained their original forms, they couldn't help but touch their entire bodies, marveling to themselves: "The priest is truly amazing to have obtained the power of the Beast God!"
After groping around in the dark for a while, all the people of the Water Tribe were rescued.
The group carefully listened for sounds outside, and after confirming that no one was around, they emerged from the dark and gloomy cave.
After seeing the light, Shen Nong realized that the people of the Water Tribe were bound by thorny vines, and the dried blood and fresh blood were mixed together at the wounds.
The spikes pierce the flesh, and any movement will cause the wound to be agitated by the spikes.
He suddenly remembered the days and nights he had been imprisoned here.
Every day, every minute, every second, I repeatedly endure this seemingly small, yet heart-wrenching pain.
Tiger Roar, carrying Deer Frost on his back, approached Shen Nong and said, "Phew, Priest, this little priest from the Water Tribe has been chattering non-stop the whole way."
Aside from her first faint response that everyone could hear, Lu Shuang's voice was barely audible afterward.
He wouldn't have heard Tiger's roar if Tiger hadn't been facing away from him.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Shuang let out a weak "squeak".
Shen Nong snapped out of his thoughts, raised his hand, placed it on Lu Shuang's head, and whispered, "No need to respond anymore, you're safe."
After saying that, Lu Shuang indeed stopped responding, and Hu Xiao laughed, "Priest, you really do have a way!"
Hu Xiao's gaze followed Shen Nong's hand downwards, and when he saw Shen Nong and Ze's hands tightly clasped together, his smile vanished.
"Priest...you..."
Shen Nong realized where Hu Xiao's gaze was fixed, so he calmly withdrew his hand and said, "Ze Pa..."
"I'm afraid of the dark, so Ze is holding my hand. What's wrong?"
Tiger Roar hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. The priest used to sleep outside the cave late at night, so how could he be afraid of the dark?
He wanted to ask more, but then he saw Ze Zheng looking at him.
His eyes looked as if he had lost something he cherished.
Feeling the imminent arrival of death from above, Hu Xiao felt a chill run down his spine and frantically shook his head, "Nothing...nothing...Priest, I'm leaving!"
"Let's go too."
Shen Nong left first, and Ze followed closely behind her.
He recalled the words the priest had just used to deceive Hu Xiao. The priest... didn't want others to know his weakness, so he said that.
Although he didn't understand the priest's intentions, he could feel the joy in his heart.
He was being protected by the priest.
Shen Nong's wrist was grabbed again, and he turned to look at the culprit.
Before he could even lash out, his hand was enveloped in soft animal hide.
"After holding hands, wipe them clean."
Shen Nong's wrist was firmly held by a large hand, and Ze carefully wiped his palm.
A hint of disbelief flashed in Shen Nong's beautiful eyes; he had actually forgotten to wipe his hands!
Why would he forget!
Ze carefully wiped Shen Nong's hands, then said, "All done."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nong immediately withdrew her hand and strode away without looking back.
He couldn't understand it, he really couldn't understand it.
How could he forget to wipe his hands?
…
Big Black exerted all his strength to scare the Ze tribe, providing cover for the group from the Mu tribe who had infiltrated the tribe.
Seeing that Dahei did not attack first, the Ze tribe did not dare to make any rash moves.
They were terrified of angering this behemoth, which would then crush their tribe under its foot.
Shen Nong didn't waste any time. Before reaching a place with people, she told everyone to shrink.
After this trip to the Ze tribe, Shen Nong had a general idea of the tribe's fighting strength.
Although the tribe did not have any orc warriors of level six or higher, it had a considerable population.
In the tribe, any awakened orc warrior is at least level three.
The tribe's overall strength was not weak, but during the great hunt of the beast tide, the Ze tribe only sent one level six orc.
However, the orc warriors they sent to attack the Wood Tribe last time were much stronger overall than those sent during the beast tide.
Comparing the two instances, it's not hard to see that they are hiding their true strength.
Moreover, they were concealing their strength from the tribes led by the Salt Tribe.
The Salt Tribe cannot tolerate any tribe growing stronger, so the Ze Tribe's strategy of concealing its strengths is indeed the best one.
Just as she was about to leave the Ze tribe, Shen Nong heard an old man's voice not far away.
"Snake One, take some men and go ahead to check. Make sure to escort Duck Nine's team out safely."
Shen Nong turned her head and saw a small old man, just like the old man from the Salt Department, holding a cane.
The other party was giving orders to a fierce-looking man with a serious expression.
Meanwhile, a round-eyed man with chunks of flesh hanging from his body stood to the side, frowning with worry on his face.
“Priest, the tribe is facing a crisis. I think we should stay and wait until the crisis is over before leaving.”
The old priest slammed his staff into the ground. "You think you can withstand the attack of such a gigantic beast by staying? Let me tell you, without divine blood, staying means certain death!"
"The divine blood is the most important thing! We must search every tribe, at all costs! We must find the divine blood for me!"
Shen Nong glanced at the three of them.
Duck Nine... Snake One... Ze Tribe Priest...
They're all acquaintances.
"When did the Ze tribe acquire divine blood?" Tiger Roar bounced Deer Frost on his back. "Luckily, it was lost..."
Rabbit Wind also said with relief, "Yes, to be called divine blood, its power must be very strong. It's good that it's gone!"
Niu Mu asked in surprise, "But isn't divine blood blood? How could it be lost?"
Shen Nong interrupted softly, "Stop talking, hurry back to the tribe."
The members of the Wood Tribe immediately responded, "Yes, priest."
Still searching for divine blood?
Shen Nong couldn't help but find it laughable.
The divine blood they were searching for at all costs had already crossed paths with them many times, but none of them recognized it.
He glanced sideways and saw that Ze showed no emotion, as if he hadn't heard those words at all.
Shen Nong turned his head; he was always protective of his own.
Given that Ze has always performed so well, it would be a real shame not to do something about this trip.
His body emitted a surge of supernatural energy, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
As the superpowers strengthened, the ground trembled more and more violently, and the trees around the Ze tribe grew rapidly.
The branches buried deep underground broke through the soil, pushing aside the thick layer of snow.
The sudden turn of events caused the Ze tribe members to fall one after another. Beneath their feet was no longer snow and the ground, but a crisscrossing network of protruding tree roots.
The old priest of the Ze tribe braced himself with his cane, and with Eze and Ya Jiu supporting him, he did not fall.
He looked at his tribesmen who had been knocked down by the massive tree roots. "What happened! What's wrong with these trees!"
No one could answer his question; everyone was completely baffled.
"ah!"
"It hurts!"
"What is this?!"
The screams continued, and only then did the old priest realize that sharp thorns had grown on the exposed tree roots.
