Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 651 Touching Someone's Little Hand
But soon, they lost interest in the sea serpent tribe, because
The annual trade fair has begun.

On a tall, rugged platform, exuding a primitive and wild style, sat the high shamans and chieftains of a super tribe who had come to participate in the grand trade fair. On the next platform below them sat powerful wizards and orc warriors.

In front of the platform was a large, flat open space that had been cleared out.

Wu Yue was not qualified to sit on the high platform. She sat in the area assigned to her by the Kuma tribe, with other shamans and orc warriors who came to broaden their horizons. Although the view was not as clear as from the high platform, it was still excellent.

The previous trading stalls were like appetizers. It wasn't until now, seeing the enormous open space in front of her, that Wu Yue learned from the other shamans that the real trade fair was actually a grand competition between various super tribes on the Beast World Continent.

The shamans, revered by many tribes in the Cloud Mist Mountains, were merely participants in this competition.

Several of the young witches who were protected with her earlier were also going to participate in the competition later.

The competition at the trade fair is not limited to life or death. As long as victory can be won, the means are not restricted and life or death is irrelevant.

Even so, she looked around and saw no fear on the faces of any of the witches and orcs participating in the contest.

They were excited, their faces beaming with anticipation, their eyes even brimming with eagerness.

It's quite like a fanatical follower of some cult.

She poked the pure-blooded male beside her, whose witchcraft was surging, with her index finger: "Aren't you afraid of going up to fight and losing your life?"

The male shaman reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the high platform, and the moment he looked at Wu Yue, his fervent reverence turned into disdain: "The shamans and orcs who participated in the competition did so voluntarily. We are not afraid of losing our lives at all. Those who lose their lives in the competition will receive the blessing of the Great Shaman and return to the embrace of the Beast God."

Wu Yue: "."

Sure enough, they really are cult members.

After delivering his righteous and awe-inspiring speech, the male shaman leaned closer to Wu Yue in a somewhat lewd manner: "After winning the competition, we may even receive guidance on becoming a great shaman."

When he said this, the heat in his eyes was almost burning.

Wu Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she nervously pursed her lips: "To become the Great Shaman's guide?"

The male shaman raised an eyebrow smugly: "You weak little shamans would never get such important information, huh~"

Wu Yue: "."

The last "ha" contained a bit too much contempt and a sense of superiority, bro.

Unlike the enthusiastic atmosphere below the stage, the atmosphere on the platform was somewhat oppressive and gloomy.

All the great shamans looked at the gloomy-faced sea serpent shaman with inscrutable expressions.

But most of them were gloating.

The sea eel shaman made no attempt to hide his good mood, frequently turning to chat and laugh with another shaman not far away. His cheerful laughter contrasted sharply with the gloom of the sea serpent shaman.

In an era where salt served as a form of hard currency, only tribes like the Sea Eel Shaman, whose tribes had no shortage of salt, could openly teeter on the edge of the Sea Serpent Shaman's tolerance.

"Old eel, let's get started. You're laughing so happily now, don't cry later."

A sinister, gruff voice rang out from the high platform. Everyone kept their eyes downcast, but their gazes followed the two main characters of the story, silently enjoying the drama between the Sea Serpent Wizard and the Sea Eel Wizard.

"Hehe, old worm, who will be laughing and crying in the end is still uncertain." "Alright, you two great shamans, the competition is about to begin, so let's not waste our time."

A powerful voice rang out. The Sea Serpent Shaman and the Sea Eel Shaman glared at each other, then looked at the burly Shaman who had spoken, their eyes showing a hint of fear.

Wu Yue, who had been watching the commotion on the platform, looked toward the imposing figure sitting in the center who had just spoken.

"That is the Great Shaman of the Sea Shark Tribe, which is implicitly ranked first among all the super tribes. His strength is also recognized as the most powerful among all the Great Shamans."

The male shaman beside her delivered the message at the right moment, earning Wu Yue an approving look.

Seeing that the Sea Serpent and Sea Eel Great Shamans had quieted down, the Sea Shark Great Shaman sitting in the middle nodded in satisfaction before giving a glance to the Sea Shark Chieftain sitting below.

The Sea Shark Clan Chief, exuding a fierce aura, stood up, unleashing a powerful beast god force that resonated throughout the arena.

"The ultimate tribal showdown begins now."

Simple and direct, as Chief Sea Shark's voice fell, two orc warriors stepped out from the tribe's territory; both were gold-rank orc warriors.

They entered the spacious arena together, and the two orc warriors, whose hair color and appearance were very different, instantly released their own pressure to press down on each other. Then, under the pressure of equal strength, they roared and charged together.

With slashing claws and whipping long legs, each attack seemed to use all the strength in the body.

This intense battle instantly ignited the atmosphere in the entire arena, with orc warriors and shamans from the tribal area roaring and shouting in unison.

The two orc tribes, in particular, roared fiercely, shouting for their own people.

"boom!"

A heavy thud followed by the sound of a body slamming heavily to the ground. The brown-haired orc was carried away unconscious by his tribesmen. The victorious orc roared and waved his arms, but dared not linger in the fighting area and ran towards his tribe's territory.

After announcing the results of the duel in a powerful voice, he spoke again: "Next group."

The battles between orc warriors were bloody and brutal, but perhaps because they all had their limits, no one died during the fight.

"Next group."

The powerful voice rang out again. Just as Wu Yue was about to continue watching the exciting battle, she felt a commotion beside her. She turned her head and was surprised to find that the one who stood up was the orc warrior from the Kuma tribe who had been guarding her all along.

"Beast God, we've actually run into the Sea Serpent Tribe. This beastman from the Kuma Tribe is likely to be the first to die in this battle."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Wu Yue didn't have time to think. Just as the orc was about to pass by, she reached out and touched his hand.

"Use the power of the Beast God to activate it when it is dangerous."

He then withdrew his hand amidst the other person's surprised and grateful gaze, and sat quietly in place, eyes downcast and mindful of his own thoughts.

The guard orcs had already entered the arena. The male orc sitting next to Wu Yue leaned over with a gossipy look on his face: "Hehe, did you take a fancy to that orc just now? I saw you touching his little hand."

Wu Yue: "."

Damn it, here's a chance to rephrase this. What do you mean I touched someone's hand? I was clearly doing something perfectly normal, so why does it sound so lewd in this guy's mouth?
