Chapter 193: A Self-Invited Guest
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next few days, Gu Mengmeng was exceptionally busy.
The males plucked the potatoes at the potato field in bulks and also hunted much prey on the way. Because at this time, everyone would be observing the hideout of their prey and wait until there was no food in winter before going on a hunt again to ensure that their food would not rot. But in the previous years, they would have to pay a very high price for it. Among the three males who went out for a hunt, one returning back was good enough. With Gu Mengmeng’s storage method this year, everyone would not need to take risks this winter and could carry out their hunting spree in the season when their prey were the most fleshy. Regardless of whether it was the quality or the quantity of the food they stored, everyone saw an evident improvement.
And the other bunch of males with Bode as the leader started catching the fish in the stream and then drying them according to Gu Mengmeng’s methods.
Everything was carried out in perfect order until one day, a self-invited guest came to the tribe.
Lea, who did not appear for quite a while, came to the boundaries of Elvis’s territory once again. He used his unique fox howl to call Elvis out of his territory.
Seeing Lea’s haggard look, Elvis was taken by surprise.
He frowned while saying, “Your body will not be able to take it if you continue digging ginger day and night.”
Lea shook his hands and took out a small cage from his waist. That was a basket Gu Mengmeng threaded long ago to raise a rabbit. After a few days, however, that rabbit did not survive eventually and Lea kept that cage to prevent Gu Mengmeng from being depressed at the prospect and prevent her from being sad when she thought of it. Now, he made it to good use. He handed the cage filled with ginger to Elvis and sighed, saying, “I’ve to help her do something so that I can catch my breath or else…”
Lea looked down, staring at his chest and did not finish his sentence.
Sighing deeply again, Lea shook his head before continuing, “I came here to tell you another thing.”
Elvis and Lea had a great teamwork after going through thick and thin these few years. Just by looking at his expression, Elvis knew that the thing Lea was going to say would be deadly serious.
Thus, Elvis handed the ginger to a male by the side and left his territory with Lea, heading to Lea’s house.
The territory of the witch doctor should not be infringed on a greater extent than the territory of the leader because besides treating the wounded, it was a place where the witch doctor and the leader discuss important matters. When the two of them emitted their strong pressure at the same time, this place would become a vacuum zone and if anyone stepped close on their own accord, they would be bitten to death directly without asking for the reason.
This, is the religious authority the previous messenger of the Beast Deity bestowed upon the witch doctor.
Lea half-lied under the tree and closed his eyes, emitting his own beast pressure first. Elvis was dumbfounded for a moment before he followed suit.
And after they ensured that there was no one else besides the two of them within Lea’s territory, Lea then started speaking slowly, “We probably can’t continue hiding the fact that Mengmeng is the messenger of the Beast Deity.”
Elvis’s expression froze as he asked, “What do you mean?”
Lea used his chin to point at the lunar white fox lying at the entrance of his cave and said, “Sauder’s faithful fox. His appearance implies that Sauder’s faithful messenger is on the way to Saint Nazaire and will reach in a few days. This is asking us to prepare to welcome the faithful messenger in advance.”
Elvis frowned, and he said with a sullen look, “Sauder… is the tribe that the previous messenger of the Beast Deity appeared at?”
