Chapter 919: Chapter 908 Beastman Plane 28

In the next five days, Xia Yue and the others first stored the potatoes and then started the sprouting process.

By the time they returned, it would be about time to cut and plant the pieces.

Before leaving, Yan Mo sought out the Priest and Clan Leader, asking them to keep an eye on the sweet potato field. If they did not return in a month and a half, they could help harvest the sweet potatoes.

The Priest and Clan Leader both agreed, as this would also serve as a reference for estimating the approximate population of their tribe.

Five days later, the members of the tribe bound for the gathering began their journey.

Still led by Hu Ya, this time more than a hundred beastmen set out, transporting over a dozen carts of goods they planned to trade for salt and various other necessities for their lifestyle.

Yan Mo and his group did not follow within the team but trailed along a remote path.

On the way to the gathering, they also encountered teams from other tribes. It would be problematic if they were found to be four people short when entering the gathering.

"It’s good not to follow them, finally able to enjoy good food openly," Xia Yue and his friends also rested while eating potato chips and cola. Previously in the tribe, they could only sneakily eat behind closed doors and dared not consume too much.

The main meals they ate were often similar to those of the tribe, and they could only occasionally eat what they had brought over.

Now that they had left, they ate three meals a day provided by Ao Mi and his group.

The journey to the gathering was not smooth; they occasionally encountered wild beast packs and some bandits.

Xia Yue and his companions hid in the shadows, ready to secretly lend a hand if Hu Ya and his group faced anything they couldn’t handle.

On their way, they also met people from the White Wolf Tribe, Rabbit-man Tribe, and Bull-man Tribe, and then continued to the gathering together.

Traveling together with four tribes made the journey to the gathering less challenging, and it took them about twenty days to arrive.

"Finally, we are at the gathering, now we need to figure out a way to get in," said Xia Yue, as they stood about two hundred meters away from the gathering place, looking towards its location.

There were quite a few beastmen outside the gathering, as the trading area was not very large, thus, besides some key personnel, other beastmen had to wait outside.

These people outside also formed a mini-gathering.

"What beastman should we impersonate to get in?" Wei Se asked.

"Dragon?" Xia Yue said unintentionally.

"There are no such beastmen in this plane," Wei Se said, looking at her speechlessly.

"Heh heh, just kidding," Xia Yue said, then laughed awkwardly for a moment.

"Let’s go as rabbits, I think our builds and the tribes we belong to look somewhat alike; we’re not as tall as them and can’t impersonate those ferocious tribes, but the smaller ones are possible," Yan Mo thought for a moment and said.

"Why not pretend we are from a plant tribe? It would be good for us to check out what kinds of crops they have here and take some back to plant. We can’t just rely on the crops from Blue Star," Ziluo suggested.

"Right, but are there plant beastmen in this world?" Xia Yue asked, assuming beastmen should be animal types.

"If there are animals, there must be plants. Plants appeared before animals, so there must be plant beastmen, it’s just no one knows about it. This identity suits us as we’re unknown; if discovered, we need not worry, and since we might not receive the special signals from other beastmen, we can use not being the same as animal beastmen as an excuse," Ziluo said confidently.

"But we don’t have that ability, except for you," Yan Mo pointed out.

"I know how to handle this. If there’s an issue, let her answer. If they want to see the original form, let Ziluo transform back while we use Spiritual Power to quick-grow some plants. We’ll also carry some seeds with us," Xia Yue quickly responded.

"Xia Yue’s idea works, you’re now our leader. We came from deep in the mountains because the weather has been getting worse over the years, so we came out to look for solutions," Wei Se agreed with Xia Yue and concocted a reason for their visit.

Ziluo and Yan Mo thought it was a viable plan, so they did not object.

Then they dressed up in disguise, using the kudzu cloth Wei Se had previously made; they wore it and wove some herbs and flowers into their clothing and hair.

They also prepared a wooden cart filled with herbal medicines and began pulling the cart towards the gathering place.

As soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of numerous beastmen because they could not smell any familiar beastman scent on Xia Yue and the others. They were said to be Sub-Beastmen without beast ears and tails, but not entirely beastmen. No one could figure out what they were.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the gathering, they were stopped by the guard beastman.

"Which tribe are you from?" the guard beastman, large and strong, asked with a frown as he looked at their slender figures.

"We are plant beastmen from the plant tribe. Along the way, we heard there was a beastman gathering here. We specially came to broaden our horizons and exchange some dried medicinal herbs for some supplies," Ziluo looked at him calmly and said.

"Plant beastmen? I’ve never heard of such a tribe," the guard beastman said, looking at them with a puzzled face.

"Plant beastmen means I can transform into a plant, just like you can become an animal. Understand? Not knowing doesn’t mean they don’t exist. We plant beastmen live deep in the mountains and do not like coming out, that’s why you haven’t seen us," Ziluo explained patiently.

"If you don’t like coming out, why are you out now?" the guard beastman caught the loophole in her words, looking at them suspiciously.

"Because the weather changes have been too significant in recent years, the winters are getting longer and colder, which is very dangerous for plant beastmen, causing survival issues. Our tribe’s Clan Leader and Priest sent us to look for solutions, or else the plant tribe would be doomed," Ziluo said, her eyes reflecting pain.

Considering their words, the guard beastman thought about the recent winters which were indeed as they described; plants indeed struggle in winter. If they were genuinely plant beastmen, this weather would indeed be harsh for them.

"Wait here, I will go and speak to the captain," the guard beastman still was cautious and thought it better to report first.

"Okay," Ziluo nodded, and they waited at the entrance.

The guard beastman asked another from his tribe to keep watch there while he went to find his captain and relayed Ziluo’s situation to him.

The gathering was hosted by the Sky Eagle Tribe, which was one of the High-level Tribes.

Upon hearing the guard beastman’s report, the captain immediately transformed into his beast form and flew to the Clan Leader’s tent.

This was a new race; he had to report it.
