Chapter 613 - 424: Great Witch?
"Lord Witch, that Huaxia Witch..."
He licked his dry lips. "What exactly is so special about her that makes you so wary?"
As soon as the Messenger Beastman Captain finished speaking, all the other Beastman Warriors from the Super Tribe, aside from the four Wizards, pricked up their ears.
They also wanted to know why the Healing Witch seemed to take that Huaxia Witch so seriously.
The Healing Witch glanced at the other three Wizards beside him. "You all felt it too, right?"
After a moment of silence, the three Wizards nodded stiffly. "Mhm."
"This Huaxia Witch is probably more than just a Wizard. Judging by her previous methods, it’s highly likely... she’s a... Great Witch..."
His voice was hoarse as he spoke those last two words. He didn’t want to admit it, but the facts left them no choice.
The Messenger Beastman Captain’s eyes widened, his mouth gaping in disbelief. He felt his head spin, and his tall, sturdy body unconsciously staggered back a few steps.
’A Great Witch...’
He stiffly turned his neck to look at the Huaxia Witch, who was resting with her eyes closed on a beast skin mat.
’To them, a Great Witch was an existence on par with the Beast God himself.’
’Had I actually provoked such a terrifying being?’
"Lord Witch, what do we do?"
No wonder he was panicking. If she were just a Wizard, he wouldn’t have reacted this way. But this was a Great Witch. He felt as though he’d been plunged into a raging blizzard, his body turning to ice.
"’What do you mean, what do we do?’ The Great Witch doesn’t seem to want to cause trouble for us. Let’s just pretend we don’t know. But I’m afraid we can’t continue hunting for Crystal Cores."
He sighed deeply. Fierce Beast Crystal Cores were truly too important for Beastmen.
The Beastman Warriors of their tribe had previously upgraded using Crystal Cores under the guidance of the Yan Yan Tribe’s warriors. Their bodies ached and swelled, but it was far safer than upgrading with witch medicine, which carried the risk of death at any moment.
Although he was only a Wizard, this concerned the entire tribe’s strength. If there was a way to obtain Crystal Cores, he didn’t want to give up on it.
"Coming here to hunt is no longer an option. A Super Tribe with a Great Witch presiding over it is not one we can provoke casually. Let’s go discuss trading for them later,"
the Healing Witch mused.
Seeing that the Healing Witch didn’t blame him, the Messenger Beastman Captain felt a spark of wild ambition rise in his heart, overriding his lingering fear.
"Lord Witch, both our tribes have Great Witches, so why should we be afraid of them? At worst, we’ll split this Extreme Cold Forest, half for each tribe. Wouldn’t that be better?"
The Healing Witch’s expression darkened as he looked at him. "Shut your mouth."
After the rebuke, however, his face remained grim, and he said no more.
The other three Wizards wore equally grim expressions.
The young Beastman Warriors might be ignorant, but surely the three of them knew better.
’It’s just that some things can’t be spoken aloud...’
He sighed deeply, his heart suddenly filling with worry.
The mud on Yuan Lang and the others had long since dried, sticking tightly to their skin.
Washing it all off took quite a bit of effort, especially the mud in their hair.
A rare sliver of sunlight shone down on the area in front of the cave. Wu Yue sat on a beast skin mat, feeling so comfortable basking in the sunlight that she almost fell asleep.
Just then, the sound of footsteps gradually approached.
It startled Wu Yue awake and drew the eyes of everyone from the Super Tribe.
A group of white-haired, strikingly handsome Beastman Warriors approached from the stream. With builds ranging from sturdy to statuesque, they were quite a sight to behold.
The sunlight landed on Wu Yue’s eyelashes, making her squint. A slight smile touched her lips.
She rose from the beast skin mat and gave her witch’s wand a light wave. A flash of light swept past, and a large stack of camouflage-print clothes appeared on another mat.
Teng Qian and the others’ pupils contracted.
’Holy crap!’ Teng Qian screamed internally. ’Are the Wizards of this world actually the legendary Cultivators?’
’If Yue went back with us and showed the Dog Emperor this trick, she’d definitely be appointed State Preceptor.’
It wasn’t just Teng Qian and Teng Kun who were stunned; the other Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warriors had never seen a trick like this either—making items appear from thin air.
All his companions were utterly dumbfounded.
Sensing the astonishment of his companions, Yuan Lang, in contrast, felt a little smug.
A smile touched his handsome, chiseled face, and he lifted his sharp chin slightly.
