The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 156: The Bullied Poor Little Thing
"What will it take for you to release them?"
Caleb suppressed the fire in his heart, asking coldly with agitation.
Kian Sterling twirled the bone chain with his fingertips, moonlight on the silver tail of The White Fox turned into a galaxy.
He didn’t answer but leaned closer to Caleb’s neck, his nose brushed against the bulging veins: "I heard The Winged Tiger Tribe has been researching pottery lately, and achieved quite a result."
Caleb’s pupils constricted; the news that The Winged Tiger Tribe was researching pottery had always been well-sealed, how did Kian Sterling know?
He frowned in deep thought, could Chloe have made some deal with Kian Sterling to survive?
No, impossible...
Chloe was gentle and kind, loved him so much, even in danger, even if they fought and misunderstood each other, she would never betray The Winged Tiger Tribe or him.
But once the suspicion arose, it couldn’t be suppressed.
He suddenly grasped Kian Sterling’s wrist, his fingertips pierced through the snowy skin, angrily shouting: "What are you planning?"
Kian Sterling looked down at the blood beads seeping from his wrist, a gentle smile gracing his lips: "Don’t be so fierce, it’s bleeding now."
He slowly withdrew his hand, pulled out a piece of animal hide from his chest, and elegantly wiped the blood off his wrist.
He looked at Caleb with a smile, using the softest voice to say the harshest words: "Exchange it with your newly researched pottery technique."
He didn’t know Luna Sutton understood pottery and had started making pottery, or he wouldn’t have proposed such a demand. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Caleb’s golden pupils shrank sharply; pottery technique was The Winged Tiger Tribe’s foundation, their confidence in exchanging resources with the outside world. If they gave it away easily, it would be like severing an arm.
But Chloe’s life was in their hands...
His face struggled, but ultimately, Chloe Callahan’s life gained the upper hand, he was about to agree.
"No need."
Corbin Crowley’s voice suddenly came from behind, his silver eyes shimmering with cold light under the moonlight.
He walked closer slowly, his gaze swept over Kian Sterling and Caleb, and said indifferently: "We don’t need the pottery technique."
Kian Sterling raised an eyebrow at Corbin Crowley, his beautiful fox eyes flashed with a bit of surprise: "Oh? Corbin, what do you mean by that?"
Corbin Crowley looked cold, his tone indifferent: "Cynthia has already started researching pottery; whether we need The Winged Tiger Tribe’s pottery technique doesn’t matter."
Caleb’s heart jolted upon hearing that.
Cynthia? That wolf tribe’s ugly duckling? She’s actually researching pottery?
But recently, she was said to be prettier, having dreamt of receiving guidance from The Beast God, knowing a lot, and having similar fortunes to Pearl Vance and Chloe.
He had sighed at the time that The Wolf Tribe had such good fortune too.
Luckily, their Winged Tiger Tribe also had it, so envy wasn’t an issue.
Kian Sterling’s gaze deepened, his fox eyes flickered.
Luna is researching pottery? That was news to him.
Seems he missed out on a lot of fun staying too long at The Salt Lake.
Corbin Crowley didn’t care about their expressions and suddenly asked: "Caleb, what are you doing at Cragfall?"
Obviously, this was a rhetorical question.
"I came to find my companion."
Caleb snorted coldly, his gaze turned to Corbin Crowley, his golden eyes meaningful: "I’d actually like to ask you, when did Cragfall become forbidden land for The Wolf Tribe? Did you discover something good here?"
Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes slightly narrowed, a cold smile curved on his lips: "Matters of The Wolf Tribe are not for you to inquire."
Caleb’s heart sank, becoming increasingly certain Cragfall harbored something valuable.
While he didn’t know what the treasure was, he was sure it was a very useful resource.
Otherwise, The Wolf Tribe wouldn’t claim Cragfall as forbidden land and prohibit others from approaching.
Unfortunately, The Wolf Tribe already occupied it.
Luna Sutton hid far behind the trees, perked up her ears, listening to Corbin Crowley, Kian Sterling, and Caleb talking.
Her gaze fell on Caleb’s face, involuntarily sighing, not surprised at all; one of the main characters, after all, had the looks, the charisma, and the figure to match.
But at the moment, she had no time to admire handsome men, she had to quickly find a way to get Chloe Callahan out.
But for now, there was no hurry, she’d listen to what they were saying first.
Her gaze landed over there.
She saw Corbin Crowley pinch a piece of salt stone with his fingertips, carelessly saying: "I heard The Winged Tiger Tribe has been looking for salt stones?"
His fingertips slightly exerted force, the salt stones turned to powder, cascading down.
Hiding in the shadows eavesdropping, Luna Sutton instantly realized Corbin Crowley was probing Caleb, to see if The Winged Tiger Tribe had discovered The Salt Lake.
If they already discovered The Salt Lake, a war would likely break out soon.
If not, everything would be negotiable.
However, she knew Caleb truly didn’t know about The Salt Lake.
They’re purely here to find the female protagonist.
But with this commotion, even if he didn’t know, Caleb probably should be suspicious.
She said nothing, just perked up her ears to listen.
Over here, Caleb stared at the salt stone that had already turned into powder and sifted down, his fist clenched abruptly.
A few days ago, Chloe was complaining to him that the Winged Tiger Tribe had too little salt, and that there were too many hunted prey, not enough to preserve with salt. She wanted him to find The Salt Lake or the sea.
He sneered on the surface, "This kind of bitter stone is just a treasure to you Wolf Tribe folks."
Corbin heard this and curled his thin lips in mockery, "Oh? It seems your Winged Tiger Tribe is well-stocked with salt stones."
"What happens in the Winged Tiger Tribe doesn’t concern you."
Caleb replied coldly, with a hint of alertness in his golden eyes.
Corbin said nothing more, only gave him a casual glance, his expression profound.
"Since pottery technique isn’t crucial, let’s change the terms then."
Kian Sterling chuckled, his fox tail swaying gently, his smile still tender but probing, "How about trading your Winged Tiger Tribe’s salt stones instead?"
Caleb frowned upon hearing this.
The Winged Tiger Tribe’s salt stone reserves are not too plentiful, not enough for even their own use.
Every year, they rely entirely on trading a large number of hunted game for them at the trade fair.
Chloe had told him there was no need to trade, they could search for The Salt Lake.
But as yet, no results.
"We Winged Tiger Tribe have no sufficient salt stones for ourselves, let alone any extra for trading with you."
Caleb refused without thinking.
Kian Sterling and Corbin exchanged glances, secretly relieved in their hearts.
Caleb’s reaction clearly indicated he had no idea about The Salt Lake’s existence.
It seemed Caleb’s partner falling into Umbraflow was truly accidental.
Instead, they had been too cautious, nearly revealing The Salt Lake’s location.
Even though Caleb knew nothing about The Salt Lake, it didn’t mean The Salt Lake was safe.
The previous dialogue and probing certainly aroused Caleb’s suspicion.
When Caleb returns, he will definitely inform the Winged Tiger Tribe leader, who will then send people to investigate.
The best way, therefore, is to kill Caleb to eliminate future troubles.
Corbin’s eyes suddenly turned cold, a trace of murderous intent flashing in his silver eyes, "Caleb, leave your life behind."
Caleb’s golden pupils contracted abruptly, white light glinted, instantly transforming into a massive White Tiger, its wings spread suddenly, but in the instant they flapped, they were entangled by the tail of a snake that appeared from nowhere.
It was Rhys Blackwood.
Malachi Arcanus emerged from the woods, Netherworld Dark Fire flickering at his fingertips, with a light snap, the dark flame landed on Caleb’s back.
In the blink of an eye, the tiger’s fur burned to charred curls, "Does a Half-step Sixth Rank tiger dare rampage in the forbidden land of our Wolf Tribe?"
"Your Wolf Tribe really thinks there’s no one in our Winged Tiger Tribe?"
Caleb roared in pain, the fur on his back nearly burned to the roots.
He slapped his tiger paw onto the chest totem, and a phantom White Tiger appeared amidst golden light.
Luna Sutton hid behind the tree, her heart pounding.
This chaotic scene was way too lively, Corbin, Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, Malachi Arcanus, each more ruthless than the last.
Although Caleb is one of the protagonists, he instantly became the little pitiful surrounded by these few.
Look at the Netherworld Dark Fire in Malachi’s hand, tsk tsk, he was too ruthless, a good big white tiger got burned to baldness.
Caleb is also a tough man, not even groaning once.
If Chloe Callahan saw this, who knows how heartbroken she’d be, probably crying herself dry.
She hesitated in her heart whether to take the opportunity to get Chloe Callahan away.
No, it’s safer to kill her.
Chloe Callahan had stayed at the bottom of the cliff for so long, she couldn’t possibly know nothing.
But she couldn’t kill Chloe herself.
It would be best if Corbin and the others did it themselves.
As she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a chill from behind.
She instinctively turned around, just in time to meet Zeke Veridian’s emerald eyes.
Zeke Veridian appeared silently behind her at some point, his gaze amused and enigmatic, "What are you hiding here for?"
Luna Sutton rolled her eyes, "Can’t I hide here to watch the show? Didn’t you see Malachi burning the big white tiger?"
