Under the great warrior’s accompaniment, Ye Chui, Debbie, Green, and Posli entered the oasis. Ye Chui had already taken the Snow Thunder Bird from Debbie’s arms to identify the spy, but the Snow Thunder Bird’s head shook left and right without spotting the person it was meant to contact. Among them, the one that caught Ye Chui’s attention most was still that deputy leader.
The Gale tribe differed from the Blood Scorpion and Green Bay tribes. This tribe had no fixed dwelling place. Like nomadic people, they constantly migrated between oases. Their leader was not a high priest but called a chief.
The chief acted as king and had a deputy chief. Among the tribe’s sand dweller warriors, they would also elect a great warrior, the bravest man in the entire tribe.
At this point, Ye Chui had gained the recognition of the great warrior and most Gale sand dwellers, but the deputy chief who had kept picking faults earlier continued to glance at Ye Chui with cold eyes. This made Ye Chui particularly wary. While the other was not paying attention, Ye Chui scanned his face with the magic guide book and entered his memory world to investigate what was going on. However, when he saw the article list appearing on the magic guide book, Ye Chui nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.
In the memory list, the top article was prominently: The story I have to tell about me and my sister-in-law.
Ye Chui: “…”
This fantasy world actually had no term like “sister-in-law”. Most times, they addressed as siblings or directly by name. But due to the translation plugin, the content displayed on the browser screen directly translated to “sister-in-law”. Combined with that magically translated phrase, it immediately took on an indescribable ambiguity.
“Ye Chui, what is wrong?” Debbie saw Ye Chui’s expression and hurriedly asked in a low voice.
“Nothing, just discovered a bit of a conduct issue…” Ye Chui quickly shook his head and whispered back. He continued to check the deputy chief’s memory website but found nothing strange. His hostility towards Ye Chui was just due to his personality. Recently, the eldest prince’s people held high status in the tribe and had clashed multiple times with this deputy chief. So seeing Ye Chui and the others, also outsiders, he instinctively felt displeased.
That article titled “The story I have to tell about me and my sister-in-law” was marked in red. Viewing it required at least two thousand points. Although Ye Chui did not lack points, after thinking, he dismissed any interest in it…
He just thought to himself darkly that the deputy chief was a figure second only to one in the Gale tribe. The one he called “sister-in-law” should be the chief’s wife, right? Tsk tsk, truly bold. Daring to cuckold the chief.
He then asked the great warrior, “The eldest prince is in the Gale tribe. I wonder how he gained your tribe’s support?”
He was very curious about this. The tribe sand dwellers had long forgotten their mission to support princes in the crown war. He did not know how the eldest prince achieved all this.
The great warrior showed admiration. “His Highness the eldest prince is brave and fearless, earning our utmost respect. Initially, our tribe encountered a terrifying desert giant whale in the far north desert. We suffered heavy losses. The chief’s son was also swallowed by the giant whale. At that time, the eldest prince happened to be nearby. He acted in time, charging into the giant whale’s mouth and dangerously rescuing the chief’s son. For this, he earned the Gale tribe’s respect!”
“So that is how it was.” Ye Chui did not know what a desert giant whale was, but the secret realm housed various rare and fearsome magic beasts from the outside world, like desert giant turtles and black mountain ant nests. This desert giant whale that left the Gale tribe helpless was probably no ordinary magic beast. The eldest prince rescuing the tribe chief’s son from such a beast’s mouth and gaining the tribe’s support was not surprising.
Tents made of animal hides had already been set up in the oasis. Rain was rare in the secret realm. Except for frequent dwelling places, tents seldom appeared. But the Gale tribe, used to wandering, preferred living in large tents. Even entering an oasis, they habitually cleared space to pitch tents. Ye Chui noticed that among these tents, one had a full team of Gale warriors guarding outside. The great warrior told Ye Chui that those held inside were the original clansmen of the Green Bay tribe.
The Gale tribe was not a bloodthirsty sand dweller tribe. Apart from some killing during the initial raid on this place, they did not execute captives afterward. If these Green Bay clansmen were willing to submit to the Gale tribe, the Gale tribe would accept them. But the Green Bay tribe people were all very backbone-strong. No one chose to surrender. Moreover, they firmly believed Ye Chui would soon rescue them. In their eyes, Ye Chui held a status like a spirit god.
Hearing these words, Ye Chui felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
Soon, Ye Chui was led to the huge tent at the oasis centre. This was where the tribe chief resided. Additionally, some warriors of note in the tribe had gathered here. Upon entering, Ye Chui spotted the eldest prince at a glance. He sat in the innermost position of the tent, looking very calm. Three guards stood at his side. Of the seven guards brought into the secret realm, four had already fallen, leaving three.
Ye Chui and the others’ arrival made the eldest prince and his three guards look up curiously. Ye Chui, Debbie, and Green were in disguise. If not for the three who originally knew them well, it would be impossible to recognise them. But it could be determined they came from outside the secret realm. As for Posli, though dressed in animal hide clothes, her appearance could not be changed.
The eldest prince’s body moved slightly. Clearly, he recognised Posli’s identity. He just did not understand why the phase king successor appeared here.
A forty-something elder stood beside the eldest prince. That was undoubtedly the Gale tribe’s chief.
The great warrior walked to the chief’s side and told him Ye Chui and the others’ origins.
Ye Chui also used this chance to let the Snow Thunder Bird identify, but to Ye Chui’s surprise, among the people in the tent, there was still no spy from the divine city!
“How is this possible?” Ye Chui was secretly shocked. “The secret message from the divine city instructed that spy to control the Gale tribe not to contact Ye Chui. That spy must have considerable control over the Gale tribe. This tent should house the Gale tribe’s high level. The spy should be one of them. But why not?”
Ye Chui did not suspect the Snow Thunder Bird of any tricks. It lacked that intelligence. But who exactly was the real spy?
At this side, the tribe chief heard the great warrior’s words and immediately laughed heartily as he walked towards Ye Chui. “Guest from afar, hello. The Gale tribe welcomes any brave warrior’s arrival!”
“Gale chief, hello.” Ye Chui hurriedly responded. His eyes sized up this chief. His body was quite tall. His hair was tied into braids, coated with grease, looking shiny and hanging down his back.
- But Ye Chui’s mind subconsciously imagined him wearing a green hat…
