Free Web NovelChapter 519: Chapter 392: The Lord Wizards and the Witch Spirit Fruit
The Scorpion Witch was not to be outdone. "The Scorpion Tribe welcomes the arrival of the Messengers."
At the same time, he led the tribesmen behind him forward.
Both the Salt Witch and the Scorpion Witch were Wizards who had broken through to the Earth Rank. In a Super Tribe, they wouldn’t be considered especially powerful Wizards, but they were still figures respected by their tribesmen.
Even a Beastman Warrior with immense cultivation talent like the young Beastman had to be extremely respectful before them.
But here, two Wizards had come to personally welcome them, and the young Beastman’s heart swelled with pride.
But then he remembered the mission from the Clan Leader and the Great Witch, so he quickly suppressed his feelings and dismounted his steed.
"Thank you, Wizards, for your welcome."
He said, offering a very polite bow.
The Beastman Warriors behind him did likewise.
However, four figures within the procession remained seated ramrod straight on their beasts, making no gesture.
Their entire bodies were swathed in an exceptionally soft and thin black Beast Skin, with only their eyes exposed.
The Salt Witch and the Scorpion Witch quickly strode forward and bowed deeply to the four. "Lord Witches."
As Heaven Rank Advanced Wizards, they were beings of immense prestige to the two local witches, who had only just managed to break through to the Earth Rank.
The Male Wizard at the very front looked toward the Scorpion Witch, who was standing slightly behind the other. "The Scorpion Tribe’s Witch?"
Hearing this Wizard call his name, the Scorpion Witch felt a thrill of excitement and hurried forward. "Lord Witch."
The Wizard took an object from his sleeve and tossed it to the Scorpion Witch. "My disciple asked me to bring this back to you."
’The Lord Witch’s disciple?’
"Is... is it the member of our Scorpion Tribe who was fortunate enough to be chosen by the Lord Witch a few years ago?"
The Scorpion Witch’s reverence pleased the Super Tribe Wizard, who gave a rare nod. "Mm-hmm."
Noticing the Wizard staring at him, the Scorpion Witch unwrapped the item in his trembling hands. It was bundled in an extremely precious white Beast Skin.
As he peeled back layers of Beast Skin, three crystalline, translucent fruits appeared before everyone’s eyes.
"Witch Spirit Fruit!"
The Salt Witch cried out in shock from the side, his eyes turning crimson as he stared at the Witch Spirit Fruits in the Scorpion Witch’s hand.
He looked as though he wanted to rush forward and snatch them away that very instant.
But the presence of the Super Tribe’s Messengers forced him to collect himself. Still, the envy, jealousy, and hate on his face were impossible to conceal.
The Scorpion Witch carefully rewrapped the fruits with trembling hands.
"Thank you, Lord Witch."
The Wizard merely gave a faint nod and said nothing more.
"The Wizards must be weary. Are our quarters ready?"
An enthusiastic smile reappeared on the Salt Witch’s face. "Of course, they’re ready. Lord Witches, please come with me."
As the most prestigious person in the Yan Yan Tribe, it was only natural for the Salt Witch to personally attend to the Wizards from the Super Tribe.
"If I may ask, how many Beastman Warriors does your tribe intend to select this time?"
After settling the Lord Witches into their accommodations, the Salt Witch, the Scorpion Witch, and the Beastman Warrior leading the Super Tribe’s contingent made their way to the Salt Witch’s stone house.
Seeing their nervous and expectant expressions, a familiar glint of pride flashed in the brown-haired Beastman’s eyes.
"Since there hasn’t been a selection for Beastman Warriors and witches on the Red Flame Plain in recent years, the Great Witch and the Clan Leader gave us special instructions on our way out. We are to select a larger number of Beastman Warriors and witches to take back with us.
"And the rewards for the selection will be left here directly."
’Left here directly!’
The two Wizards’ eyes instantly shone with a brilliant light.
In the past, the rewards were always brought over during the selection the following year.
Oh, the excited hearts, the trembling hands, the little wagging tails behind them.
Of course... being witches, neither of them had such a thing as a tail.
After discussing a few more things about the selection, the brown-haired Beastman returned to rest as well.
That evening, the Beastman Warriors of the two tribes returned from the hunt with a great abundance of prey. The carcasses were skinned and gutted, then washed thoroughly by the females. Only then were they placed on large, clean leaves and carried to the Wizards’ houses.
Meanwhile, the Beastman Warriors from the Super Tribe sat with the warriors from the two local tribes, eating meat and talking. Hearty laughter echoed throughout the entire clearing.
The Witch Disciples of the Yan Yan Tribe and Scorpion Tribe were also in attendance.
But at that moment, the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch sat on a Beast Skin mat in her cave, her gloomy face a stark contrast to the revelry outside.
’Tonight, I should have been the center of attention out there.’
’She was the most talented and youngest witch in the Yan Yan Tribe.’
