The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 348 - 278: Heart-to-Heart Conversation

"I-I was just passing by..."

The Eagle Beastman’s eyes flickered with guilt.

Zeke’s emerald eyes flashed with mockery: "Who are you trying to fool? Passing by requires circling overhead for half the night?"

The Eagle Tribe Beastman was left speechless by Zeke’s retort, his face extremely unsightly.

Corbin scoffed, clearly not believing his nonsense.

Kian Sterling slowly stepped out of the morning mist, stopping in front of the Eagle Beastman, looking down at him, he squinted and said, "If you don’t tell the truth, we have countless ways to pry open your mouth, do you want to try them one by one?"

His voice was gentle, but his words sent a chill down one’s spine.

Soren Phoenix also came closer, his eyes filled with intrigue: "Our Phoenix Clan has just researched a few interrogation methods; perfect time to try them on him, perhaps?"

The Eagle Tribe Beastman turned pale upon hearing this.

Although he didn’t know much about the Phoenix Clan of Aetheria’s power, he had heard of their recent burning of several tribes in The Lower Domain, and turning the entire Wolf Tribe settlement into ruins.

Now, the Phoenix Clan has become synonymous with ruthlessness among the tribes in The Lower Domain.

Thinking of falling into their hands, he feared he wouldn’t be able to live or die.

"Wait!"

The Eagle Beastman retreated in terror, "The clan leader sent me to monitor the Wolf Tribe’s movements!"

Luna Sutton and Corbin exchanged a glance.

Ever since the Phoenix Clan retreated, surrounding tribes have been watching the Wolf Tribe’s movements, which was not surprising.

"What else did your clan leader instruct?"

She squatted down, and a green vine sprouted from her fingertip, gently wrapping around the opponent’s fracture.

The Eagle Beastman was stunned, not expecting this female to be a witch doctor, nor did he expect her to heal him.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "The clan leader said... your Wolf Tribe has undergone great changes recently, first collecting bird food everywhere, then digging these strange stones, and having the ability to survive under the Phoenix Clan, preserving most of the tribe members. There must be some unknown secret and special purpose. He told me to keep an eye on your stone mining and figure out the use of these stones."

He spilled everything like beans from a tube, afraid of being caught and severely interrogated.

Luna Sutton saw his injuries improved, retracted the vine from her palm, and smiled faintly: "These stones indeed have a special use for us, but for you, they are just a pile of useless broken stones. I’m not exaggerating; it’s just that you don’t know how to refine them and forge them, so even if you dig them out, they are useless."

The Eagle Beastman heard this, showing some confusion in his eyes.

But he vaguely felt what she said made sense.

Even if they now know these stones have a special use, if no one tells them how to use them, how to apply them, they are just useless stone piles.

Even using them to build stone houses would be too irregular or small.

To have a conflict with the Wolf Tribe over these broken stones is truly not worth it.

The Eagle Tribe Beastman thought so and had gradually decided to retreat.

Luna Sutton noticed this and sighed inwardly with relief.

She stood up and said to the Eagle Beastman, "Return and tell your clan leader that these stones have special use for our Wolf Tribe, but are not very useful to you, no need to waste any more thought over it."

The Eagle Beastman nodded, ready to transform into a bald eagle and fly away.

Recalling something, he halted, turned back to ask: "Um... can you tell me why your Wolf Tribe is collecting those bird foods?"

Traditionally, only the Aerian Tribe and Avian Tribe ate those foods, and he truly could not understand why the Wolf Tribe would harvest them.

She smiled faintly, half-truthfully explaining: "Our Wolf Tribe waged war with the Phoenix Clan, plus our old site was burned down, losing a lot of stored grains, and many tribe members died. Now food is scarce, so we must prepare more food. Luckily, we discovered by accident how to cook the bird food, so we went around harvesting some, and the taste is still quite good."

The Eagle Beastman understood suddenly: "I see, thank you for telling me."

As for her saying the bird food tasted good, he didn’t believe a word.

Only the Avian Tribe would like those hard grains.

He assumed the Wolf Tribe had nothing to eat, so they resorted to eating bird food, puffing up with false bravery.

The last bit of doubt in his mind was dispelled, and he transformed into a bald eagle, flapping away.

Watching his figure disappear into the sky, everyone retracted their gaze.

"Luna, why did you let him go so easily?"

Malachi Arcanus looked at the departing Eagle Beastman with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
