Chapter 586: Chapter 415: Coiling Dragon Continent, Super Huaxia Tribe (Part 2)
The air fell silent for a moment. After a few breaths, the beastman captain turned to the several Wizards beside him. "What do we do now?"
As they were discussing their next move, the rest of the party caught up from behind.
The beastman captain had the Beastman Warriors bring the Scorpion Beastman and the Yan Yan Witch over.
"Take a look at that person up ahead. Do you recognize them?"
The Scorpion Beastman: "..."
The Yan Yan Witch: "..."
’Bro, that person is just a pitch-black shadow. What are we supposed to see?’
’Absolutely nothing?’
The beastman captain then realized that the person had her back to them the entire time, gathering herbs from the ground. He couldn’t see her face at all.
The Healing Witch stood, a rare emotion flickering in her deep eyes. "Then let’s go introduce ourselves," she said. "A witch who can wear clothes is certainly no wizard from a place like the Polar Forest."
Cloth!
It was an extremely precious material, even in a Super Tribe. It was a specialty product from another Super Tribe in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and only a tiny amount was made available for trade each year.
As a result, it never even made it to the trading conventions before being divided up by the witches of the various tribes.
Witches of lower status or Rank didn’t even qualify for a share.
The Messenger Beastman glanced enviously at the four Wizards beside him. Their clothes had been made from material they had painstakingly saved over a long time.
Moreover, the Wizards’ clothes were all undyed. He had heard that dyed clothes were something only a Great Witch of high status from that Great Tribe was worthy of wearing.
Or, a Witch Disciple or Wizard who was highly favored by the Great Witch might be bestowed with some as a reward.
But dyed clothes in such a large quantity, like what that person in the distance was wearing, was a truly rare sight.
Thanks to the System’s warning, Wu Yue had, of course, long since known about the group hiding behind her. But she was feeling vulnerable.
In her vulnerability, there was also a small bit of relief.
’I have to say, I was smart to exchange for these clothes earlier. The camouflage jumpsuit prevents others from gauging my true strength, and it’s really convenient for posturing.’
"Host, those people are coming over."
The System transformed into a pitch-black venomous snake as thick as an arm. It coiled itself around Wu Yue’s shoulders, its head poking up contentedly from behind hers and resting lazily on top of her head.
Although she hadn’t looked in a mirror, Wu Yue knew that her image—dressed in a black cloak with a venomous snake coiled around her shoulder—was definitely not a righteous one.
She looked quite a bit like a Black Witch from the movies.
’But what can I do? My System has a dark sense of humor, and I have no choice but to indulge it.’
Just as the Super Tribe’s messenger party came within a hundred meters of Wu Yue, the snake System that had been coiled on her head abruptly raised its body and let out a series of cold hisses. HISS... HISS...
Its pitch-black tongue flickered out in the direction of the Super Tribe’s group.
The beastman captain and the four Wizards froze, halting in their tracks and raising their guard.
Gripping her witch’s wand, Wu Yue turned around. Her slender figure was enveloped in a black robe, obscuring her face.
But a cold voice drifted out from under the robe. "Who are you?"
Her voice had barely faded when an excited, venomous cry erupted from the Super Tribe’s messenger party. "You’re Wu Yue! You’re that female witch from the Snow Tiger Tribe!"
Beneath her cloak, the color drained from Wu Yue’s face. She had never, ever imagined that the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch would be here as well.
"The female witch from the Snow Tiger Tribe?"
As the Yan Yan Witch finished speaking, the Beastmen and Wizards in the party all stared inquisitively at the slender figure across from them, the one wrapped in black clothes.
The Healing Witch took a few steps forward and addressed the dark figure. "We have only come this time to hunt some Crystal Cores in the deep forest to bring back for the young Beastmen of our tribe.
If you are truly from the Snow Tiger Tribe, we hope you might guide us. We will give you five Crystal Cores as thanks."
Beneath her cloak, the corners of Wu Yue’s mouth curved into a sneer. ’The bigger the forest, the stranger the birds.’
’If the Snow Tiger Witch hadn’t warned me about what these Super Tribes were really like... heh. Even so, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. Did they really think I was born yesterday?’
"Snow Tiger Tribe? What kind of backwater tribe is that?"
The cool, aloof voice emerged from under the cloak again, faintly tinged with displeasure.
She sounded displeased to be associated with such a minor tribe.
Her composed demeanor was surprisingly intimidating. The beastman captain and the other Wizards turned to the Yan Yan Witch. "You said she’s the female witch from the Snow Tiger Tribe. How can you prove it?"
