Free Web NovelChapter 517: Chapter 391: Messenger of the Super Great Tribe (3)
The Worm Witch’s gaze was too dangerous. Perhaps sensing his anger, the Poisonous Insect he had been toying with in his hand also reared up its small body, looking ready to attack at any moment.
The Beastman Captain’s legs instantly went soft. "Witch, the salt that the Snow Tiger Tribe brought out is truly different from the salt of our Red Flame Plain and the Sea Side Tribe.
That salt is the color of the sky. It’s very pure, with no bitterness or impurities."
Hearing this, the Worm Witch’s narrow eyes narrowed slightly. Only then did he slowly lean back against the stone behind him. "Tsk~ Could they have really found a new place to trade for salt?"
Although the Worm Witch seemed to be asking a question, the Beastman Warriors below were so desperate to survive that they fell utterly silent, each one as quiet as the gravel on the floor.
Seeing their cowering figures, the Worm Witch curled his lip in boredom. "Look at the state of you all. Are you even Beastman Warriors of our Scorpion Tribe? It’s a disgrace to be seen like this. Just looking at you is annoying. Get out, all of you."
But that disgusted expression, as if a pile of stinking dog crap had just been tracked into his beloved stone house, made the Beastman Warriors below secretly ecstatic.
As if afraid the Worm Witch would go back on his word, they quickly got up and scurried out with unprecedented speed.
"Witch... hehe..."
Hearing a Beastman’s voice, the Worm Witch opened his eyes and looked at the Beastman Captain standing there laughing awkwardly. "That laugh is hideous. If you have something to say, say it."
The Beastman Captain, dejected by the sudden verbal jab, took out a very exquisite and beautiful string of beads from his Beast Skin pouch. "We traded for this at the gathering."
With that, he held the string of beads with both hands, walked forward, and presented it to the Worm Witch.
It just goes to show that the Beastman Captain, able to lead the Scorpion Tribe to the trade gathering, definitely had what it took to be a leader.
You could tell just by the way the Worm Witch’s eyes lit up in that instant...

The Worm Witch actually sat up—a rare occurrence—and reached out to take the string of beads, which had been polished to a perfectly smooth finish.
The round, smooth beads lay quietly in his palm, cool to the touch.
"What is this?"
Even the Worm Witch’s voice carried a rare warmth, showing he was in an excellent mood.
The Beastman Captain’s heart relaxed. "It’s a Lucky Bead Chain made by the Snow Tiger Tribe. They say it’s been blessed by a witch’s witch power and carries the protection of the Beast God."
The Worm Witch scoffed at his words. Although there was a faint fluctuation of witch power on it, there was definitely no blessing from the Beast God.
"Mm, you’ve done well."
’He actually got praised by the witch!’
The Beastman Captain felt so lucky he thought he would probably find prey waiting for him the moment he stepped outside.
However, his duty as a captain brought him back to his senses. "Witch, the Snow Tiger Tribe has built a kind of house that is very tall, sturdy, and also very warm."
Hearing this, the Worm Witch’s narrow eyes instantly narrowed. "A tribe from such a small place can build stone houses now?"
The Beastman Captain shook his head. "The stone houses they’re building are completely different from the ones in our tribe, but they are very good-looking and neat. And every member of their tribe has one; even the slaves get to live in those stone houses."
"Heh~ Did the people of the Snow Tiger Tribe get their brains scrambled by a Fierce Beast’s fart? Wasting so much time building stone houses... how many of their people died?"
The Worm Witch’s voice was filled with ridicule.
The Beastman Captain shook his head. "They haven’t lost a single tribe member. And according to our people who stayed behind in the Snow Tiger Tribe, they build these houses very, very quickly.
Also, the stones they use to build the houses are different from ours.
The Snow Tiger Tribe is very careful. They don’t let our people see them when they’re gathering that type of stone. And..."
He glanced at the string of beads held in the Worm Witch’s hand. "It’s said that these beautiful beads are polished from the same kind of stone they use to build their houses." freёweɓnovel.com
The Worm Witch’s gaze suddenly deepened. He slowly looked down at the string of beads in his hand. "I never would have thought... I’ve only been back a short while, and the Snow Tiger Tribe has already changed so much. How exciting."
A miserable feeling washed over the Beastman Captain as he saw the witch’s expression. ’He isn’t planning on dragging the tribe to the Polar Forest again, is he?’
’He desperately wanted to ask, Can’t we just stay quietly in our own tribe, and you can be a proper witch for once?’
