Tavern of the Spear: Desire for Pleasure

Chapter 105 The Bear Clan Chief Who Blushes Easily

Despite the fact that the bear-beastman seemed to be telling the truth, Cheng Yu and Bai Yu still couldn't believe it. Based on their understanding of Bowen, even if he was powerful enough to overthrow the Black Dragon tribe, he couldn't possibly destroy the Black Dragon, because his teacher was the Black Dragon. Most importantly, he respected his teacher so much, which was something he couldn't fake.

Then why was the Black Dragon destroyed in this time and space? Thinking of this, they suddenly remembered what Xing Luo had said before: the Northern Wolf Clan had also been destroyed. With the rise of the White Dragon, the destruction of the Northern Wolf Clan tribe was inevitable. After all, both the White Dragon faction and the Dream God faction hated the Northern Wolf Clan very much.

The annihilation of the Northern Wolf Clan is undeniable, but the Black Dragon Tribe is simply too much to accept. Cheng Yu and Bai Yu lowered their heads in thought, but they didn't forget to continue following the bear-beastman. Soon, they arrived at a relatively large tent in the tribe. This tent was much more intact than the others, so it seemed to be the tribal chief's tent. The bear-beastman went into the tent and came out not long after, followed by another, even taller bear-beastman. He exuded a strong sense of oppression, and although he didn't have any special abilities, both Cheng Yu and Bai Yu felt his presence.

It could be said that this bear-orc was a born leader, but it was a pity that he wouldn't live long. He had a very long scratch on his abdomen, and despite the best efforts to bandage it, it was still impossible to effectively alleviate the effects of the wound. Upon seeing the tribal chief, Cheng Yu and the others finally understood how bad their situation was. It was normal for them to go out and rob, and it was very likely that only a small group of people had gone out to rob, all just trying to maintain the tribe's livelihood.

"Are you the guests my son brought back?" the tall bear-beastman said, his voice deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable air of authority and weariness.

“Yes, we were passing through this area when we were attacked by your tribe,” Cheng Yu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, but his manner of speaking was still somewhat polite. “We have no intention of being enemies with your tribe; we just want to understand the situation here.”

The bear-orc chieftain nodded, then looked at his son, whispered a few words in his ear, and turned back to his tent.

The bear-beastman leader's son looked at Cheng Yu and Bai Yu respectively, and then gestured for them to follow him into the tent, while Xing Luo was left behind.

"Huh? Can't I go in?" Xinglu chased after him, but he was stopped by two guards.

"Young man, this is our leader's order. Just follow instructions and don't have too many doubts. You just need to wait for your friend to come out."

"OK then……"

Meanwhile, inside the tent.

“You’ve all seen the situation of our tribe,” the bear-orc chieftain sighed. “Our bear tribe was once one of the most powerful tribes on this grassland, but since the rise of the white dragon tribe, our lives have become increasingly difficult.”

"White Dragon Tribe..." Cheng Yu murmured to himself. He was now filled with curiosity about this tribe. What could have caused the Black Dragon Tribe to be destroyed?

“That’s right, it’s the White Dragon Tribe,” the bear-orc chieftain said. “They possess powerful magic and are numerous; we are no match for them.”

"Then why don't you choose to leave this grassland?" Bai Yu asked. "Go to other places to find a new home. Besides, it seems that the grassland is not suitable for bears and tigers to live on. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope there."

"Leave?" The bear-orc chieftain gave a bitter laugh. "It's easier said than done. This grassland may be barren, but at least we can barely survive here. We don't know anything about other places. If we go to a more dangerous place, wouldn't that be courting death?"

“But if you stay here, you will be wiped out by the White Dragon Tribe sooner or later,” Cheng Yu said. “Are you just willing to wait to die like this?”

“What can we do if we’re not willing to accept it?” the bear-beastman chieftain said helplessly. “We tried to resist, but the result… you can see for yourselves. The wounds on my body are thanks to the White Dragon tribe.”

Cheng Yu and Bai Yu fell silent. They could understand the helplessness and despair of the bear-beastman leader. In the face of absolute power, any resistance was futile.

“Perhaps we can help you,” Cheng Yu suddenly said.

"Help us?" A hint of surprise flashed in the bear-orc leader's eyes. "Why would you help us? We just attacked you."

“Although we were attacked by you, we also saw your predicament,” Cheng Yu said. “We are also very curious about the White Dragon Tribe. If we can help you, perhaps we can learn more about the White Dragon Tribe.”

"Are you really willing to help us?" the bear-orc leader asked, somewhat incredulously.

“Of course,” Bai Yu said, “but we also have conditions.”

"What are the conditions?" the bear-beastman leader asked.

“We need you to provide all the information about the White Dragon Tribe, including their strength, territory, and relationships with other tribes,” Cheng Yu said. “Only in this way can we better help you.”

"This..." The bear-orc chieftain hesitated, "This information is a secret of our tribe. If it is leaked, it may bring us even greater danger."

“Don’t worry, we won’t leak this information to anyone else,” Bai Yu said. “We just want to understand the White Dragon Tribe, and we won’t do anything to harm you.”

“Alright,” the bear-orc leader pondered for a moment, then finally nodded. “I trust you. I can see that you are very strong, and that’s why I trust you. I will tell you everything I know.”

“Very good,” Cheng Yu smiled, “Then let’s start with the origins of the White Dragon Tribe.”

"The origins of the White Dragon Tribe..." The bear-beastman chieftain fell into reminiscence, "...that was hundreds of years ago..."

Over the next few minutes, the bear-beastman chieftain recounted in detail to Cheng Yu and Bai Yu the origins, development, and grudges and feuds between the White Dragon tribe and other tribes. Cheng Yu and Bai Yu listened with great interest; they hadn't expected the White Dragon tribe's history in this timeline to be so fantastical.

Through the bear-beastman leader's account, Cheng Yu and Bai Yu gained a deeper understanding of the White Dragon Tribe, and they became even more certain that this tribe was definitely not simple.

“Thank you for telling us so much,” Cheng Yu said to the bear-beastman leader. “We will do our best to help you.”

“Thank you,” the bear-orc chieftain said gratefully. “If you can truly help us out of this predicament, our bear tribe will forever remember your kindness.”

"Don't thank us yet," Bai Yu said. "It's still uncertain whether we can help you. After all, the White Dragon Tribe is simply too powerful."

“Regardless, thank you all,” the bear-orc leader said. “At least you gave us hope.”

"Hope..." Cheng Yu murmured to himself, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, do you have any information about ancient ruins or legends here?"

"Ancient ruins? Legends?" The bear-orc chieftain paused, "You mean those old, worn-out stories?"

“That’s right,” Cheng Yu nodded. “Any clue is fine, as long as it’s related to ancient times.”

"Let me think..." The bear-beast chieftain closed his eyes and recalled carefully, "I remember when I was a child, I heard the elders in the tribe say that there was a mysterious ruin deep in this grassland. It is said that a powerful force is hidden there. However, no one has ever actually found it. Everyone just regards it as a legend."

"Mysterious ruins? Hiding powerful forces?" Cheng Yu and Bai Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement in each other's eyes.

“That’s right,” said the bear-beastman leader. “It is said that the ruins are related to the ancient dragon race, and only those with dragon blood can find them.”

"Dragon bloodline?" Cheng Yu and Bai Yu were both struck by a thought, and they both thought of themselves.

"Do you know the exact location of that ruin?" Cheng Yu asked.

“I don’t know,” the bear-orc chieftain shook his head. “I’ve only heard the elders in the tribe mention it, but nobody knows the exact location.”

“Okay,” Cheng Yu said, a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up. “It’s okay, we’ll go find it ourselves.”

"You're going to find that ruin?" the bear-orc chieftain asked in surprise. "That's very dangerous; no one has ever come back alive from there."

"Danger?" Bai Yu chuckled. "What storms haven't we weathered? Are we afraid of this little bit of danger?"

“But…” The bear-beastman leader was about to say something when Cheng Yu interrupted him.

“Alright, that’s enough,” Cheng Yu said. “We’ve made up our minds. Just tell us the approximate location of the ruins so I can confirm if it’s the place I remember.”

The bear-orc chieftain was somewhat taken aback by Cheng Yu's sudden question and action. A hint of doubt flashed across his furry face, followed by embarrassment, and finally a suspicious blush appeared. His usually sharp eyes now became somewhat evasive, unable to look Cheng Yu directly in the eye.

"This...this...the Northern Wolf Clan tribe..." he stammered, his massive bear paw unconsciously scratching his head. "I...I've only heard some legends about it, but I don't really know the exact location..."

His voice was deep and rough, but at this moment it carried a rare hint of unease. As the tribal chief, he was always full of authority, issuing commands; when had he ever appeared so embarrassed?

Seeing this, Bai Yu wanted to disappear into the ground. He sighed and rubbed his forehead, inwardly complaining, "This guy is doing something stupid again... He's really embarrassing me!"

He even wanted to shout, "I don't know him! This guy has nothing to do with me!"

But then he thought, in this vast fog, how boring the journey would be without Cheng Yu, this lively character. He sighed and decided to stand aside silently and observe what would happen.

Cheng Yu realized his abruptness. He awkwardly touched his nose, pretending to be nonchalant, his eyes darting around as if admiring the scenery. In reality, his brain was racing, trying to figure out how to defuse the awkward situation.

"Um... well... actually, there's something else I'd like to ask you..." Cheng Yu cleared his throat, deciding to change the subject.

He walked up to the bear-orc leader and suddenly reached out to touch the man's abdomen. This action startled the bear-orc leader, who instinctively took a step back, but Cheng Yu's hand still touched him.

"What...what are you doing?" The bear-beastman leader's eyes widened, and the blush on his face deepened.

His hairy belly was something even his tribesmen wouldn't dare touch easily, let alone a complete stranger. Such intimate gestures were usually only done between lovers!

Cheng Yu said with a serious expression, "I think your wound seems to be infected. I know a little about medicine, so perhaps I can take a look."

He sensed the bear-orc leader stiffen slightly, clearly suppressing discomfort. But out of concern for his own injuries, he ultimately did not refuse.

"You...you really know medicine?" the bear-beastman leader asked, half-believing and half-doubting.

“Of course.” Cheng Yu nodded confidently. “Please believe me, I won’t hurt you.”

He gently placed his palm on the bear-orc leader's wound, and a warm power surged from his palm, slowly flowing into the other's body.

The bear-orc leader felt a warm current spreading from his wound, and the burning pain slowly subsided, replaced by an indescribable feeling of comfort. He stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Cheng Yu.

"What...what kind of power is this?" he couldn't help but ask.

“This is… a special healing technique,” ​​Cheng Yu explained. “It can accelerate wound healing and clear infection.”

He continued the treatment, patiently explaining some herbal knowledge to the bear-beastman leader, as well as how to make simple potions to treat the wound.

Watching from the side, Bai Yu's admiration for Cheng Yu grew even stronger. He hadn't expected that Cheng Yu was not only incredibly powerful but also skilled in medicine and so eager to help others.

"This guy is really all-rounder. I might as well just hand over the logistics work to him from now on..." he thought to himself.

As time went by, the bear-orc leader's wounds healed at a visible speed, the originally gruesome wounds gradually becoming smooth, and finally leaving only a shallow scar.

"Alright." Cheng Yu withdrew his hand, a satisfied smile on his face. "Your wound has basically healed. You just need to rest and take care of yourself, and you'll be fully recovered soon."

The bear-orc leader excitedly touched his abdomen, feeling the long-lost health and vitality, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you so much, young adventurer! Your medical skills are truly amazing!" he exclaimed sincerely. "On behalf of the entire Bear Tribe, I express my sincerest gratitude to you!"

"You're welcome," Cheng Yu smiled modestly. "It was just a small favor."

“Oh, right,” he suddenly remembered something and asked, “Do you have a black mineral here called obsidian?”
