Chapter 391
The bitter expression on the Beastfolk's face was seen by the Shaman: "What's that look? Do you have any complaints about me?"
The Beastfolk captain's body shuddered, and he quickly put on a fawning smile on his wrinkled face: "Hehe, I was just thinking that from now on I'll only be able to get such a small amount of crystal cores..."
He felt the future was a bit dark.
Previously they relied on shamanic medicine to level up, because the pain of leveling with shamanic medicine was too intense, many Beastman Warriors would die from being unable to bear it.
But since the appearance of ferocious beast crystal cores, he has never felt that pain again.
Looking at the few crystal cores the Shaman had set aside, the Beastfolk captain felt miserable.
He had hoped to receive two crystal cores this year to level up, but now it seems he can only suppress his level and not advance too quickly.
Seeing his gaze continually fixed on the nearby crystal cores, the Gu Shaman coldly snorted: "I will allocate the crystal cores to the chieftain; those who receive them should cultivate well, the envoy team of the Super Tribe will arrive in a few days."
If our tribe could also have a member selected, we could obtain better cultivation methods, reach a higher level, and our lives would become longer.
As the Gu Shaman spoke, his expression also faintly showed some excitement.
Their tribe possesses advanced cultivation methods because a shaman entered the Super Tribe long ago, which was passed down to them, allowing him to break through to a higher level.
If a Beastman Warrior could be favored...
Once the Beastman Warriors in the tribe become strong...
His gloomy eyes turned toward the Salt Clan's direction; the first to deal with was the Salt Clan that controlled the salt trade on the Chiyan Pingyuan.
The envoy team of the Great Super Tribe!
The Scorpion Beastfolk captain instantly became excited: "Could it be that the Great Super Tribe has come this time to seek Beastman Warriors?"
The Gu Shaman once again lazily leaned against the stone behind him: "Affairs of the Super Tribe are not to be guessed at random; you just need to strive to become stronger."
Having said that, he waved his hand and closed his eyes.
The Beastfolk captain still wanted to ask something, but seeing the Shaman's resting posture, he swallowed the words about to leave his mouth.
Afterwards he respectfully performed a salute and withdrew.
Yet his heart was full of excitement; the envoy of the Great Super Tribe was coming, and if he could rise another level before their arrival, he would have a good chance of being selected for the Super Tribe.
The tribespeople and their families would then be able to obtain better cultivation methods, and the Scorpion Tribe would also become stronger.
Thinking of this, the Beastfolk captain's heart burned hot.
Three days later, the legendary Super Tribe envoy team finally arrived at the Salt Clan amid the anticipation of the Chiyan Pingyuan clans.
"Salt Clan Shaman, which Beastman Warriors have you managed to qualify for selection this time?"
The Gu Shaman looked at the Salt Clan Shaman's wrinkled, bark-like old face, proudly raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat pleased with his own youthful visage.
"What's the use of how much we've prepared? It's still up to whether the Super Tribe takes a liking to us."
The Salt Clan Shaman draped himself in dark beast hide, his expression indifferent.
He had always been clear about the Scorpion Shaman's ambition, but because of that selection long ago, their tribe not only lost a shaman, but fortunately also had a Beastman Warrior selected.
Therefore, compared to that, the Salt Clan's high-level Beastman Warriors are somewhat stronger than those of the Scorpion Tribe.
So this guy, although he has always wanted to seize their salt-gathering place, has never been able to do so.
Now it seems this guy is definitely placing his hopes on this selection.
Thinking of this, his heart grew somewhat heavy.
The Salt Clan has not had any tribesperson taken by the Super Tribe's envoy team for a long time, whereas the Scorpion Tribe had a shaman taken away decades ago.
If this time another Beastman Warrior were to be selected...
The Salt Clan Shaman's wrinkled old face twitched; "Damn, this Scorpion Shaman is increasingly displeasing to the eye."
"Hahaha! You must be the folks from the Salt Clan and the Scorpion Clan, right?"
The Beastfolk leading the Super Tribe appears to be no older than fifty, yet his tightly muscled arm bears a golden pattern.
Such a young Gold-rank one-star Beastman Warrior!
Recall that last year's visitor was still a high-level Silver-rank Beastman Warrior.
With such high cultivation talent, the Salt Clan and Scorpion Shamans felt their hearts tighten, and their smiles deepened.
"Welcome to the Salt Clan."
The Salt Clan Shaman led the people behind him forward to greet.
The Scorpion Shaman not to be outdone: "The Scorpion Tribe welcomes the arrival of the envoy team."
At the same time, he brought the people behind him forward.
Both the Salt Clan and Scorpion Shamans have broken through to the Earth level; in the Super Tribe, although they are not necessarily the strongest shamans, they are still respected figures among the tribespeople.
Even such a Beastman Warrior with great cultivation talent, young as he is, must still be sufficiently respectful toward them.
But here, the two shamans must personally come to greet him, and the young Beastman instantly felt delighted.
But upon remembering that this was ordered by the chieftain and the great shaman, he immediately composed himself and dismounted from his mount.
"Thank you, both shamans, for your welcome."
Having said that, he also bowed politely.
The Beastman Warriors behind him did the same.
However, in that team, there were four figures sitting properly on beast backs, showing no expression.
Their entire bodies were wrapped in a black, extremely soft, thin Beastfolk bao guo, leaving only their eyes exposed.
The Salt Clan and Scorpion Shamans hurried forward, deeply bowing to the four: "Shaman Sirs."
As Heavenly-level high-ranking shamans, to the two who have merely broken through to the Heavenly level, they are extremely exalted beings.
The leading male shaman, looking at the Scorpion Shaman standing slightly behind, said: "Scorpion Tribe Shaman?"
Upon hearing that shaman call his name, the Scorpion Shaman felt a surge of excitement and hurried forward: "Shaman Sir."
Then that shaman took out an object from his sleeve and threw it to the Scorpion Shaman: "This is something my disciple asked me to bring back for you."
"The disciple of the Shaman Sir?"
Is... is it someone from our Poison Scorpion Tribe that the Shaman Sir took a liking to a few years ago?
Names: Poison Scorpion Tribe, Shaman Sir. Also maybe tribe member not a name.
The Poison Scorpion Shaman's respect deeply touched this Super Tribe Shaman's heart, and he actually gave a rare nod, saying, "Hmm."
Names: Poison Scorpion Shaman, Super Tribe Shaman. Actually "Super Tribe Shaman" is "Super Tribe Shaman". Not in glossary; translate.
Seeing him stare, the Poison Scorpion Shaman trembled as he opened the item wrapped in the extremely precious white beast hide in his hand.
Names: Poison Scorpion Shaman, Beastskin wrap. Also extremely precious white not a name.
As the beast hide was peeled back layer by layer, three crystal-clear, translucent fruits appeared before everyone.
Names: none new (beastskin is not a name). fruit.
Shaman Spirit Fruit!
Names: Shaman Spirit Fruit.
The Rock Salt Shaman beside him cried out, his eyes fixed on the Poison Scorpion Shaman's Shaman Spirit Fruit, burning with a deep red glow.
Names: Rock Salt Shaman, Poison Scorpion Shaman, Shaman Spirit Fruit.
He was dying to rush forward and snatch it away.
No names.
But the Super Tribe Envoy Team before him still kept him calm, though the envy and jealousy on his face could not be hidden.
Names: Super Tribe Envoy Team. Also he refers to Rock Salt Shaman? Not a name.
The Poison Scorpion Shaman trembled as he carefully wrapped the fruit in his hand.
Names: Poison Scorpion Shaman.
Thank you, Shaman Sir.
Names: Shaman Sir.
This Shaman simply gave a faint nod and said nothing else.
Names: Shaman. Actually this shaman refers to Shaman Sir? It's just Shaman. We'll include Shaman as a name? It's a generic term but appears as a reference to a specific person; but per rules, we should translate meaning; it's not a proper name but a title. However we need to list names that appear: "Shaman" is a term meaning Shaman. Should we include? The instruction: "List every character (incl. the protagonist & minor ones), place, sect/clan/faction/people, official & sect rank/title, technique, item/artifact, beast, and realm that appears in these lines." So official & sect rank/title should be listed. So Shaman is a rank/title. So include.
Are the shamans also tired? Is our lodging ready?
Names: Shaman. Also our house not a name.
The Rock Salt Shaman's face lit up with a warm smile again: "Of course it's ready, Shamans Sir, please follow me."
Names: Rock Salt Shaman, Shaman Sir.
As the most honored person of the Rock Salt Tribe, these Super Tribe Shamans naturally needed to be personally received by the Rock Salt Shaman.
Names: Rock Salt Tribe, Super Tribe Shamans, Rock Salt Shaman. Also the person with the highest status not a name.
I wonder how many Beastman Warriors your tribe will select this time?
Names: your tribe (the tribe being addressed) but not specific; we have context: speaking to Rock Salt Shaman? Actually the speaker is Rock Salt Shaman? The line is spoken by Rock Salt Shaman? The line 【75】 is spoken by Rock Salt Shaman? It says "I don't know how many Beastman Warriors your tribe will select this time?" The speaker is Rock Salt Shaman? The previous line: Rock Salt Shaman's face again showed an enthusiastic smile: "Of course we're ready, several Shamans Sir please follow me." Then line 【74】 is narration. Then 【75】 is spoken by Rock Salt Shaman? Probably. So "your tribe" refers to the Super Tribe? Actually they are asking the Super Tribe about how many Beastman Warriors they will select. So "your tribe" = "your tribe" referring to Super Tribe. Not a specific name; we can ignore as generic.
Names: Beastman Warrior appears.
After arranging lodging for the Shamans Sir, the Rock Salt Shaman, the Poison Scorpion Shaman, and the Beastman Warrior leading the Super Tribe finally arrived at the stone house where the Rock Salt Shaman resided.
Names: Shaman Sir, Rock Salt Shaman, Poison Scorpion Shaman, Super Tribe Leader, Beastman Warrior, Rock Salt Shaman (again), stone house not a name.
Seeing the two of them nervous yet eager, the brown-haired Beastman's eyes flashed with a similar spark.
Names: Brown-haired Beastman. Also two people refers to Rock Salt Shaman and Poison Scorpion Shaman? Not names.
Because the Chiyan Plains haven't selected any Beastman Warriors or Shamans in recent years, the Great Shaman and the Tribal Chief specially instructed us this time to select more Beastman Warriors and Shamans to bring back.
Names: Crimson Flame Plain, Beastman Warrior, Shaman, Great Shaman, Tribal Chief. Also we not a name.
And the selection rewards will be left right here.
No new names.
Left right here!
No names.
The two Shamans' eyes instantly lit up, glowing.
Names: Shaman.
Previously, the rewards would only be brought over during the next year's selection.
No names.
His heart raced, his hands trembled, and his tail twisted behind him.
No names.
Of course... as Shamans, the two of them don't have tails.
Names: Shaman.
After discussing the selection, the brown-haired Beastman also went to rest.
Names: Brown-haired Beastman.
At night, the Beastman Warriors of the two tribes brought back plentiful game, which they skinned and cleaned; the females washed it spotless, then placed it on clean, rinsed large leaves to carry to the Shamans' quarters.
Names: Two Tribes' Beastman Warriors, females, Shamans. Also big leaf not a name.
Meanwhile, the Super Tribe's Beastman Warriors sat with the Beastman Warriors of the two tribes, eating meat and chatting, their hearty laughter filling the entire clearing.
Names: Super Tribe Beastman Warriors, Two Tribes Beastman Warriors.
Also accompanying them were the Shaman apprentices of the Rock Salt Tribe and the Poison Scorpion Tribe.
Names: Rock Salt Tribe, Poison Scorpion Tribe, Shaman Disciples.
At this moment, the Rock Salt Tribe's Shamaness sat on a beast hide mat in her cave, her gloomy face forming a stark contrast with the lively bustle outside.
Names: Rock Salt Tribe Shamaness. Also cave not a name, beastskin mat not a name.
Originally tonight, the brightest thing outside should have been me.
No names.
She is the Rock Salt Tribe's most outstanding and youngest Shaman.
Names: Rock Salt Tribe, Shaman.
But now she can only sit in this pitch-black cave, listening to the laughter and merriment outside.
No names.
The delicious fruit and tender meat uplifted the spirits of the weary Super Tribe Beastfolk, making their smiles even warmer.
Names: Super Tribe Beastfolk.
I have a matter I'd like to ask the Shamans Sir for help with, and of course we'll provide ample food and beast hide.
Names: Shamans Sir. Also food and beastskin not names.
The Rock Salt Shaman looked at the brown-haired Beastman beside him and said:
Names: Rock Salt Shaman, Brown-haired Beastman.
"A request?" the brown-haired Beastman looked at him and asked, "What is it?"
Names: Brown-haired Beastman.
Although the Shamans Sir are part of this selection's entourage, he cannot disturb them except in extremely dangerous moments.
Names: Shamans Sir.
As for food and beast hide, the brown-haired Beastman secretly curled his lip; such things held absolutely no allure for them.
Names: Brown-haired Beastman.
The Rock Salt Shaman sighed: "Our tribe's most talented young Shaman injured her leg a few days ago and can't walk now, so I'd like to ask your Shamans Sir to heal her."
Names: Rock Salt Shaman, tribe, young shaman, Shaman Sir. Also she refers to the young shaman.
The outstanding-talented young Shaman?
Names: young shaman.
The brown-haired Beastman's eyes flashed: "Not just female, but male too?"
Names: Brown-haired Beastman.
It's a young female.
Names: little female. Not a name.
The Rock Salt Shaman naturally noticed the gleam in the brown-haired Beastman's eyes, his heart skipping a beat.
Names: Rock Salt Shaman, Brown-haired Beastman.
He wanted to keep the Shamaness, but if she were taken away in the selection, that would also be good.
Names: Shamaness. Also he refers to Rock Salt Shaman.
The brown-haired Beastman smiled and nodded: "Of course it's fine; I'll report this to the Shamans Sir when I return."
Names: Brown-haired Beastman, Shaman Sir.
The Rock Salt Shaman's heart instantly relaxed.
Names: Rock Salt Shaman.
Beside him, the Poison Scorpion Shaman's eyes darkened; it seemed this Shamaness had been badly wounded by the Snow Tiger Tribe's Beastfolk.
Names: Poison Scorpion Shaman, Shamaness, Snow Tiger Tribe, Beastfolk.
The outside bustle gradually faded into the night, and the tribe also gradually returned to tranquility.
No names.
Just as the Shamaness felt anxious, footsteps sounded outside the cave.
Names: Shamaness.
The Shamaness's eyes full of anticipation gazed at the cave entrance, where two tall Beastman Warriors first entered.
Names: Shamaness, Beastman Warrior.
Not asleep yet.
No names.
The low voice was exactly what the Shamaness knew best.
Names: Shamaness.
Shaman, have the Super Tribe's Shamans Sir agreed to heal me?
Names: Shaman, Super Tribe Shamans Sir.
Her eyes were full of hope.
No names.
Under the aid of Shaman power, all of her facial expressions were fully taken in by the Rock Salt Shaman's gaze.
Names: Shaman power, Rock Salt Shaman.
What's the rush? This won't be known until tomorrow, but...
No names.
He sat on the beast hide mat laid out by the Beastman Warrior, then looked at the Shamaness and said: "Shamans Sir don't lightly heal people; as for the beast hide and food I promised today, the Super Tribe's Shamans Sir won't even glance at them."
Names: he (refers to Rock Salt Shaman), Beastman Warrior, beastskin mat, Shamaness, Shaman Sir, beastskin and food, Super Tribe Shamans Sir.
But if your talent catches their eye, healing you will be absolutely no problem, understand?
No new names.
The Shamaness's eyes sparkled as she looked at the Rock Salt Shaman: "You mean they'll still be selecting Shamans this time?"
Names: Shamaness, Rock Salt Shaman, Shaman.
Rock Salt Shaman nodded: "Your talent is outstanding; today, train well; tomorrow, if you perform well, there is a high chance you will be favored by the Shaman Sir of the super tribe, be selected, and in the future you will become an existence stronger than me."
"If I am selected, do I also have to follow the selection team to this super tribe?"
"Rock Salt Shaman nodded: 'Of course we have to go.'"
"Shaman maiden pursed her lips: 'When can I come back?'"
"'Come back?'"
"Hearing her words, the Rock Salt Shaman frowned: 'Why come back? You just need to train well in the super tribe and become a higher-level existence.'"
"This is something even those elderly shamans cannot obtain."
"\"I haven't taken revenge yet, my leg... \""
"Shaman maiden looked ferociously toward the direction of the Polar Forest: 'I want to occupy the Polar Forest, make the ferocious beasts there belong to our Rock Salt Tribe, and then kill everyone of the Snow Tiger Tribe.'"
"She spoke, touching her legs that still could not stand."
"\"Pfft~\""
"Rock Salt Shaman stood up, lowering his gaze toward her: 'Just a small Polar Forest; once you become a stronger existence, someone will naturally be willing to do these things for you.'"
"See what kind of existence you can become, understand?"
"If you cannot be selected by the super tribe and can only reach my level, our tribe cannot possibly attack the Polar Forest."
"\"Think about the Poison Scorpion Tribe. \""
"Shaman maiden's face darkened: 'Yes, there's also the Poison Scorpion Tribe; the Rock Salt Tribe is not the only existence on the Chiyan Pingyuan.'"
"Having seemingly understood something, the Shaman maiden took a deep breath: 'I understand, Shaman; tomorrow I will definitely perform well.'"
"Rock Salt Shaman nodded with relief: 'When you become an existence stronger than me, you will be the pride of our entire Rock Salt Tribe; previously, those of our tribe who were selected never returned, but I hope that while I am alive, I can see you again.'"
