Chapter 66 Crisis 4 lurks
Chapter 66 Crisis lurks everywhere
The Moon Shadow Civet Cats are a very elegant tribe, one of the typical non-warlike races. The overall tone of their tribal territory is eating, drinking and having fun, and few members focus on cultivation.
But no one dares to underestimate the fighting power of this tribe. Moreover, because the entire tribe is easy to talk to, they have relatively in-depth exchanges both among soul beasts and with humans outside.
To communicate with humans, it is natural to introduce some rare things from the human world. Soul beasts cannot use soul guides, but the Moon Shadow Spirit Cat Clan loves humans' amazing construction capabilities.
Therefore, the core residential area of the entire territory is almost entirely modeled after human cities, with city walls, roads, and rows of huge, orderly wooden houses. Most of these wooden houses have been modified to suit the living habits of the cat clan. Compared to sleeping in the wild, this place is almost like a paradise.
In the back garden of the palace located in the center of the territory, a charming young woman in her thirties and a middle-aged man in fine clothes were sitting in the pavilion, chatting and drinking afternoon tea.
The charming young woman was holding a black and white kitten in her arms. The kitten looked so cute. If it was seen by people on Earth, countless fat otakus would definitely compete for the position of cat owner.
However, this kitten is a little special because it has three tails.
"Youming Douluo, you have to arrange the batch of goods we want as soon as possible. Recently, the Cang Yan Tiger Clan has been trying to stir up trouble again and is targeting the cat clan alliance. If we don't arrange some defensive measures, I'm afraid our clan will find it difficult to resist." The young woman took a sip of the black tea in her hand and said to the middle-aged man beside her with some sadness.
"How dare I disobey Lord Ningbing's orders? But now that the Sun and Moon Chamber of Commerce has reduced its external trade volume, there is very little left that can be allocated to our family." The middle-aged man put down the teacup in his hand and complained.
Hearing this, the young woman also showed a bitter smile on her face.
Her name is Zhu Ningbing, and she is the clan leader of the Moon Shadow Spirit Cat clan.
On the surface, she seems to be in a very glorious position, having the upper hand between humans and soul beasts, but only she herself knows how difficult the current situation of her tribe is.
In the current Star Dou Great Forest, all the major dragon tribes almost stay away from the world and no longer maintain the balance of the forest. Therefore, several warlike tribes have become the apparent decision-makers in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although the Moon Shadow Civet Cats are unwilling to come into conflict with other tribes, they are always viewed as prey by those races with bad intentions. Once cracks appear in the seemingly solid cat alliance, it will be the time for their destruction.
In this regard, Zhu Ningbing had no choice but to seek help from a distant cousin in the Xingluo Empire, hoping to use their status to purchase a batch of disposable trap soul guides to protect their territory. When war breaks out one day, they can also gain a greater advantage in defense.
"In order to help you tide over the difficulties, we will certainly deliver all the available soul guides in the family first. However, as for the strong, humans and animals have different paths, I think you also understand." The middle-aged man stood up and said seriously.
Although she had received the other party's assurance, the solemnity on Zhu Ningbing's face did not dissipate. She just said with gratitude: "In this case, I would like to thank Youming Douluo first. It is getting late now, so please go home and make arrangements as soon as possible."
"Then I'll take my leave." The middle-aged man bowed and walked straight out the door without saying much. However, a dark smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Sister, can we really trust humans?" After the middle-aged man left, a woman who was also holding a cat came over and asked puzzledly.
The cat in her arms was different from Zhu Ningbing's cat, in that it only had two tails.
Zhu Ningbing sighed: "Ningyu, it has come to this point. What if you can trust me? What if you can't trust me? Now that the seemingly indestructible alliance has problems, it is only a matter of time before it is divided and broken if we don't rely on some external forces. Unfortunately, those people don't understand."
The woman called Ningyu also sighed, expressing her concern about the tribe's current situation of internal and external troubles.
As if she felt the atmosphere was a bit tense, she changed the subject to another matter: "By the way, the patrol team just caught a human who broke into our territory, along with two unknown 90,000-year-old soul beasts and the little fox that always came to visit our tribe."
"Hmm? How strong are humans?" Zhu Ningbing put down the teacup in her hand and asked with interest.
Hearing this, the girl opposite her hesitated and said, "According to their report, it seems to be a Level 31 Soul Master?"
"Soul Master? Soul Master can actually have two 90,000-year-old soul beasts guarding him?" Zhu Ningbing was a little surprised. These 90,000-year-old soul beasts were not ordinary people. They would be the backbone of any tribe. How could they be sent to be bodyguards?
"Although it is hard to believe, it is true. Therefore, our people did not do anything excessive. We just escorted them here to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
"In that case, let's go and take a look."
"Okay, sister."
Great!
Leng Xiyao, who was surrounded by a group of big cats, couldn't help but curse the unscrupulous system.
It was true that her skill could point out the location of the Moon Shadow Cat's territory, but she did not delineate its specific sphere of influence. Therefore, Leng Xiyao ran all the way here without noticing that she had directly entered the opponent's territory. This was undoubtedly a provocative act.
The system says your skill is only at level four. Can you blame me?
The strength of the civet cats that captured Leng Xiyao was neither strong nor weak, but they were obviously capable of being killed by Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. However, she came here not to rob, but to conduct friendly transactions, so she naturally could not act recklessly.
Fortunately, Leng Xiyao has found a breakthrough to establish a good relationship with the other party.
"Hey, little sister, is there something important that has brought you to our tribe?" Zhu Lingxuan followed behind Leng Xiyao, looking at her and the flying sword floating behind her curiously.
If one out of a thousand human soul masters can learn to release soul power, then no soul beast can learn it except for the groups with corresponding talents.
But look at them, flying in the sky on swords, how cool!
Leng Xiyao saw Zhu Lingxuan's expression. She could tell at a glance that she was a very easy person to talk to. Who knows, the breakthrough of this trip might lie with her.
"I wanted to exchange for some high-level elixirs, but unfortunately I was arrested before I could find the person in charge of your family." Leng Xiyao said rather resentfully as she walked leisurely.
If she hadn't brought Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai with her, she would probably have been tied up and taken away by now.
"We have plenty of magical medicines at home. Come with me. As long as you teach me how to fly with a sword, I can give you as much as you want!" Zhu Lingxuan said confidently.
