Chapter 901, A Nauseating Feeling

Translator: Silavin

 

The sky gradually darkened as Bo and his companion arrived at the Flame Dragon Tribe’s main gate.

 

At this moment, Cang Shi was stationed at the Flame Dragon Tribe’s entrance, leading that group of Warrior Trainees on patrol.

 

Ever since he became the Patrol Department Leader, he had been leading his members on daily patrols without fail.

 

Cang Shi spotted the two agents and carefully observed the clothing they wore.

 

Matching what Su Bai had told him earlier, he instantly understood the situation and naturally did not obstruct the two men.

 

“Are you from the Dark Scorpion Tribe?” Cang Shi stepped forward to ask first. He already knew in advance what the intelligence agents’ attire looked like from Ga’s briefing.

 

“Uh…” Bo froze, not expecting his identity to be exposed so quickly. Resigned, he continued. “That’s right, we’re intelligence agents from the Dark Scorpion Tribe.”

 

“Excellent! The Chieftain has been waiting for your arrival,” Cang Shi laughed heartily. Internally, he began admiring his own acting skills, even feeling that his performance was flawless.

 

“The Chieftain? Your Flame Dragon Tribe’s Chieftain?” Bo asked doubtfully. The other party’s approach seemed overly enthusiastic, leaving him somewhat overwhelmed. He even felt a trace of suspicion. After all, this person was clearly on the verge of breaking through from the Early-Stage to the Mid-Stage. Such a powerful Totem Warrior personally greeting them? This seemed excessively ceremonious.

 

“Who are you? You are so strong, far surpassing both of us. You are practically a match to the Deputy Leader, Ga. Are you tell me you’re from the Flame Dragon Tribe?”

 

Luc on the side could not contain himself either. The other party gave him an intensely oppressive feeling. Although the person appeared extremely friendly, that naturally authoritative aura was unmistakable.

 

This sensation felt exactly like… exactly like when they were meeting Ga. The thought sent a chill down his spine.

 

“I am indeed from the Flame Dragon Tribe, but I’ve now become a member of the Dark Scorpion Tribe. The Chieftain is the person you call Deputy Leader.” Cang Shi responded without hesitation, his facial expression showing no discernible difference.

 

For this day, he had been rehearsing these past two days on how to handle these two intelligence agents while on patrol.

 

Clearly, his two days of training had proven useful. The intelligence agents were already starting to believe him.

 

“Then take us to see the Chieftain. It seems the Deputy Lea… the Chieftain truly conquered the Flame Dragon Tribe…” Bo immediately corrected himself.

 

Of course, he was not completely convinced. Just fifty-fifty.

 

“Right, we want to see the Chieftain immediately. We have matters to discuss with her,” Luc added quickly.

 

“No rush. The sky has already darkened. If you don’t hurry, you’ll likely have nowhere to sleep tonight.” Cang Shi patted both men’s shoulders.

 

“Hurry? What do you mean? Can’t we stay overnight in the Flame Dragon Tribe tonight?” Bo asked, perplexed.

 

“Of course you can. The Flame Dragon Tribe already belongs to the Dark Scorpion Tribe, and you two are intelligence agents. Naturally, you can stay in the Flame Dragon Tribe.” Cang Shi finished speaking and shrugged, continuing. “You’re intelligence agents, so you should know our Tribe is a… Market Tribe. There are certainly many people in our Tribe…”

 

He roughly explained the situation and mentioned that other Tribes visiting the Flame Dragon Tribe would stay at the Restful Night Building.

 

He further emphasized that rooms were limited. If they wanted comfortable sleeping arrangements, they definitely needed to book rooms in advance.

 

Actually, Cang Shi initially wanted to say Central Market, but reconsidered since these two were not yet familiar with those two words.

 

To avoid raising suspicion or requiring additional explanation, he simply told them ‘Market Tribe’.

 

“I see. Then hurry and take us there. We don’t want to sleep outside tonight,” Bo urged promptly.

 

After hearing about the Restful Night Building’s situation, he was eager to see what conditions there actually were.

 

“Then follow our professional staff. They’ll guide you through the procedures.” Cang Shi waved, summoning a young man from the gate entrance.

 

That young man’s name was Lun, approximately fifteen years old. He had been working at the Central Market continuously.

 

Cang Shi briefly explained the situation to the two intelligence agents, spoke with Lun momentarily, then departed.

 

After all, Cang Shi’s primary responsibility remained patrol duties. Su Bai had merely arranged this particular theatrical performance for him at the gate entrance. Since his performance was complete, it was time for him to withdraw from the stage. His actual duties remained.

 

“Procedures?” Bo found this vocabulary quite unfamiliar. Addressing Lun, he asked. “Do you know Ga? She’s a Deputy Leader from the Dark Scorpion Tribe.”

 

He fundamentally does not trust others. Seeing another person, he naturally wanted to inquire further. Moreover, he knew this person occupied the Flame Dragon Tribe’s lowest hierarchy. Questioning him might yield unexpectedly revealing answers.

 

“I’ve only heard about it. The higher-ups all say our Flame Dragon Tribe was taken over. Something about… the person with that name you mentioned taking control.” Lun gestured demonstratively, continuing. “I don’t understand much beyond that. You two can ask other people to investigate further.”

 

Lun was definitely pre-arranged as well, though his theatrical role was not extensive. He had also been instructed not to speak too much to these two. After all, those in his position, at the lowest hierarchy, would not know too much. In fact, knowing too much would actually seem more suspicious instead. Having him speak ambiguously conversely added credibility.

 

“Understood.” Bo’s trust in the Flame Dragon Tribe increased another degree.

 

Luc listened silently on the side, simultaneously calculating everything about the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

He noticed many people entering the Flame Dragon Tribe underwent inspections and were required to surrender all their weapons.

 

Strangely, the two of them hadn’t been detained at all. There was no body search, let alone weapon confiscation.

 

This point made him feel like he was being honoured, simultaneously adding points to his trust in the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

Bo and Luc skipped the inspection and Lun led them directly into the Flame Dragon Tribe. Upon entering the Tribe, both men were stunned.

 

There was no other reason than everything entering their vision completely shocked them into speechlessness.

 

Towering cement houses, smooth stone roads, plus a large water pool in the Tribe’s centre.

 

And unknown beasts constantly pull wooden crates throughout the Tribe, with numerous people present as well.

 

What most shocked the two men was this Tribe appearing extraordinarily clean, completely lacking any unpleasant odours.

 

Conversely, the two men sniffed their own body odours and instantly experienced a nauseating sensation.

 

“This… is this the Flame Dragon Tribe?”

 

Both men were shocked into speaking simultaneously, staring at this scene so intently they forgot to blink.
