CHAPTER 603: CHAPTER 576: CHIEF LEADER 94

Cang Yun patiently held Chacha, waiting until Chacha had almost finished crying before starting to comfort him. Chacha was easy to console; he stopped crying after a short while.

Seeing that Chacha had stopped crying, Cang Yun turned his attention to Yan Shuangshuang, only to be surprised by the immense Warrior Power within her! Immediately, an involuntary fighting spirit rose from deep within Cang Yun — a natural urge to battle when strong warriors meet!

Yan Shuangshuang, who had already suppressed her own fighting spirit, felt it surge back up violently under Cang Yun’s battle-intent gaze. The two stood opposite each other, their eyes filled with a desire to fight, both itching for a battle!

It wasn’t just Yan Shuangshuang who thought fighting Cang Yun might help her break through to a Level 4 Warrior; Cang Yun, who was also stuck at this threshold, felt the same. This recognition only intensified their already rampant battle desires!

However, this was clearly not a good time for a fight — one was visiting for the first time, the other was meeting the savior of his younger brother for the first time, and then attacking without a word...

Even in the informal etiquette of a primitive society, such behavior would still be considered extremely rude. Hence, despite their eagerness, both Yan Shuangshuang and Cang Yun chose to suppress their desire to fight.

Noticing the tense state between the two, Tu and the man alongside Cang Yun took a tacit step forward, separating their almost clashing gazes.

Interrupted from their stare-off, Yan Shuangshuang and Cang Yun collected themselves and urgently restrained their fighting spirit. If it weren’t for the fact that both were on the verge of advancing to Level 4 Warriors, their battle lust wouldn’t be so strong.

Suppressing the battle urge, Cang Yun took the initiative to step forward with a solemn expression, and with a grateful tone, said to Yan Shuangshuang, "Thank you for saving my brother. This great kindness will never be forgotten by me, Cang Yun. From now on, you are a forever friend of the Crocodile Tribe."

After speaking, Cang Yun gave Yan Shuangshuang a one-handed salute with a bow, a rare ceremonial gesture in the Primitive World, reserved for those deeply respected or greatly appreciated.

Yan Shuangshuang quickly sidestepped to avoid Cang Yun’s generous gesture, courteously saying, "You don’t have to be so formal. Saving Chacha was just a simple act, nothing significant."

Cang Yun didn’t take Yan Shuangshuang’s politeness to heart, insisting, "Even if it was just a simple act for you, it was a life-saving grace for Chacha. As his brother, I must remember this kindness."

Seeing Cang Yun’s earnest attitude, Yan Shuangshuang said no more. In fact, she was habitually polite before, a habit she had not changed despite many years in this straightforward Primitive World.

After the courteous exchange, Cang Yun introduced the scholarly man behind him to Yan Shuangshuang. As Yan Shuangshuang suspected, this man was the Great Witch of the Crocodile Tribe, named Mu Sheng.

After the introductions, Cang Yun and Mu Sheng began leading Yan Shuangshuang into the Crocodile Tribe, chatting along the way.

Mu Sheng was undoubtedly the smartest person Yan Shuangshuang had ever met. This Great Witch had a way of making himself very likable in conversation.

However, during pleasant chats, the other party would unwittingly extract some personal information from you. For example, Yan Shuangshuang ended up revealing her background quite clearly while chatting with Mu Sheng.

Although part of it was because Yan Shuangshuang did not intentionally hide anything, the fact that the other party could probe information from her without any defense, and without her feeling annoyed, was an impressive skill.

Yan Shuangshuang could understand Mu Sheng’s approach. In any world, smart people are always cautious and suspicious. An almost-Level 4 Warrior like herself arriving at the Crocodile Tribe — he, as the Great Witch, needed some understanding.

Since he didn’t know if Yan Shuangshuang’s arrival held any malice, he naturally needed to probe a bit. Also, smart people are often conceited, so they trust the information they gather on their own. If Yan Shuangshuang were to offer information voluntarily, he might even become suspicious.

Especially in a world where insidious tribes like the Cannibal Tribe exist. Perhaps due to their particularly low moral standards, some spies without tattoos would sometimes disguise themselves as wandering warriors, staying in Great Tribes to scout.

Without tattoos, these spies could hardly be distinguished from tribal members when not cannibalizing. Although simple-minded, their sole purpose in entering tribes was to determine the route in and evaluate the tribe’s fighting strength.

Once these two points were confirmed, the spy would leave the hosted tribe and lead the Cannibal Tribe’s warriors to attack. It was a simple job, but the spies were trained by the tribe’s witch to keep their stories tight, making them hard to guard against.

Mu Sheng’s exploratory words towards Yan Shuangshuang’s background were mainly to ascertain whether she was a Cannibal Tribe spy pretending to have saved Chacha to infiltrate the Crocodile Tribe.

Yan Shuangshuang didn’t mind Mu Sheng’s suspicion and cooperated with his probing, revealing some of her origins.

No matter how smart Mu Sheng was, he couldn’t surpass Yan Shuangshuang, who had lived several lives. He thought he had probed Yan Shuangshuang’s background, but in reality, she had only told him what she wanted.

Vital secrets of the Yanhuang Tribe, such as salt fruit and methods of Warrior cultivation, were not hinted at in the slightest by Yan Shuangshuang.

Of course, Yan Shuangshuang wasn’t at a disadvantage either. In exchange, she also gathered some information about the Crocodile Tribe in their exchange.

For example, Cang Yun and Chacha’s father was the previous tribe leader, and their mother was also a warrior in the Hunting Team. Both died during a hunt, and Cang Yun, as the Crocodile Tribe’s first Warrior, with his impressive intelligence, was selected by Mu Sheng as the tribe’s succeeding leader.

Chacha was lucky. Though without parents, his brother Cang Yun loved him like a son. Cang Yun always felt sorry for his brother who had no parents, so he was particularly good to him. As a result, although Chacha was eight or nine years old and intelligent, he was still very innocent.

With continuous probing and Yan Shuangshuang’s voluntary revelations, Mu Sheng’s suspicion of her being a Cannibal Tribe spy was dismissed. It’s a common trait for smart people to be quite conceited, and Mu Sheng, being smart, believed the information he extracted from Yan Shuangshuang was true.

Cang Yun arranged a very nice residence for Yan Shuangshuang, one of the largest stone houses in the Crocodile Tribe. It was said to be the residence of Cang Yun’s parents when they were alive, possibly the best house in the Crocodile Tribe!
