Free Web NovelChapter 518: Chapter 392: The Lord Wizards and the Witch Spirit Fruit
The Worm Witch noticed the miserable look on the Beastman’s face. "What’s with that expression? Do you have a problem with me?"
The Scorpion Beastman Captain jolted and quickly forced an ingratiating smile onto his wrinkled face. "Heh heh, I was just thinking that from now on, I’ll only be able to get so few Crystal Cores, and..."
’The future feels a little bleak.’
In the past, they had all relied on witch medicine to advance. The pain of advancing with witch medicine was so intense that many Beastman Warriors would die, unable to endure it.
But ever since Fierce Beast Crystal Cores became available, he had never experienced that kind of pain again.
Looking at the few Crystal Cores the witch had set aside, the Scorpion Beastman Captain felt bitter.
’I was hoping to get two Crystal Cores this year to advance,’ he thought. ’But now it looks like I’ll have to suppress my rank and not advance too quickly.’
Seeing his eyes constantly darting toward the Crystal Cores, the Worm Witch snorted coldly. "I will give the Crystal Cores to the Clan Leader to distribute. You are to cultivate diligently once you receive your share. The Messengers from the Super Tribe will arrive in a few days.
If any of our tribesmen are chosen, we’ll be able to obtain a better Cultivation Method, reach a higher realm, and our lives will be much longer."
As the Worm Witch spoke, a hint of excitement crept into his expression.
It was because a witch from their tribe had entered a Super Tribe long, long ago that they had been passed down an Advanced Cultivation Method, which allowed him to break through to a higher Rank.
’If a Beastman Warrior could be chosen...’
’Once the Beastman Warriors of the tribe become powerful...’
His dark eyes gazed in the direction of the Yan Yan Tribe. The first one they would deal with would be the Yan Yan Tribe, which controlled the salt trade on the Red Flame Plain.
Messengers from a Super Tribe!
The Scorpion Beastman Captain was instantly thrilled. "Does this mean the Super Tribe is here to look for Beastman Warriors this time?"
The Worm Witch leaned back languidly against the stone behind him again. "Don’t speculate about the affairs of the Super Tribe. All you need to do is focus on getting stronger."
With that, he waved a dismissive hand and closed his eyes.
The Scorpion Beastman Captain wanted to ask more, but seeing that the witch looked like he wanted to rest, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
He then bowed respectfully and withdrew.
But his heart was filled with excitement. ’The Messengers from the Super Tribe are coming! If I can advance one more rank before they arrive, there’s a good chance I’ll be chosen to go to the Super Tribe!’
’My tribesmen and family will be able to get a better Cultivation Method, and the Scorpion Tribe will become even more powerful!’
At this thought, the Scorpion Beastman Captain’s heart burned with passion.
Three days later, amid the eager anticipation of the Red Flame Plain tribes, the legendary messenger delegation from the Super Tribe finally arrived at the Yan Yan Tribe.
"Salt Witch, how many of your Beastman Warriors have qualified for the selection this time?"
The Worm Witch looked at the Salt Witch’s old face, which resembled wrinkled tree bark, and raised his eyebrows smugly, quite pleased with his own youthful appearance.
"What’s the use in preparing any number of them? All that matters is whether the Super Tribe finds them worthy."
The Salt Witch, draped in a dark Beast Skin, had an indifferent expression. freёwebnovel.com
’He was well aware of the Scorpion Witch’s ambition. However, in a selection long ago, his own tribe not only had a witch chosen, but also had the good fortune of a Beastman Warrior being selected.’
’That was why, in comparison, the Yan Yan Tribe’s high-rank Beastman Warriors were somewhat stronger than the Scorpion Tribe’s.’
’And it was why, although that bastard had always wanted to seize their salt-gathering grounds, he had never been able to succeed.’
’Now, it seemed that bastard was pinning all his hopes on this selection.’
At this thought, his heart grew heavy.
It had been a long time since anyone from the Yan Yan Tribe had been chosen by the Super Tribe’s messenger delegation, whereas the Scorpion Tribe had a witch selected several decades ago.
’If they have a Beastman Warrior chosen this time as well...’
The Salt Witch’s wrinkled old face twitched. ’Damn it, the more I look at that Scorpion Witch, the more I can’t stand the sight of him.’
"Hahaha! You must be the people from the Yan Yan Tribe and the Scorpion Tribe."
The Beastman leading the Super Tribe delegation was a Beastman Warrior who looked to be no older than fifty, yet on his tightly muscled arm was a golden marking.
Such a young Gold Rank One Star Beastman Warrior!
’I recall last year’s messenger was just a high-ranking Silver Rank Beastman Warrior.’
Faced with such high cultivation talent, the hearts of both the Salt Witch and the Scorpion Witch tightened, and the smiles on their faces grew wider.
"Welcome to the Yan Yan Tribe."
The Salt Witch led the people of the Yan Yan Tribe forward to greet them.
