Chapter 456 - 370: Didn’t You Say There’s No Need to Go Anymore?
After spending so long with the Snow Tiger Witch, who was as cunning as they come, the Half-beastman Warrior had naturally grown a bit sharper himself.
’He’d never heard of any Shuishan Tribe, but he certainly knew about the new salt. After all, they’d stolen a huge amount of that pure salt from the Black Wolf Tribe’s territory not long ago.’
The Half-beastman Warrior was fast, returning in just a moment with a bamboo tube.
The Snow Tiger Witch waved his hand magnanimously. "Since you’ve brought it, go ahead and pour some out for everyone to see. In any case, I’ve never seen salt this pure before."
Hearing this, the Half-beastman Warrior readily complied. He walked to each tribe’s table, opened the bamboo tube in his hand, and poured out a small amount of the pure, blue salt.
The crystalline blue salt glittered under the sunlight, sparkling like the most beautiful gemstone.
But when they dabbed a finger into the salt and tasted it, the pure, salty flavor made their eyes go wide in an instant.
The Black Wolf Witch, Flying Eagle Witch, and Lion Witch couldn’t hide the delighted smiles on their faces.
In contrast, the members of the Scorpion Tribe and Yan Yan Tribe looked as if they’d just eaten shit—their expressions were beyond foul.
’With salt like this, why would the tribes of the Polar Forest ever want that cloudy, bitter salt from the Sea Side Tribe again? If the Polar Forest tribes stop coming to trade for salt, what will happen to our supply of Crystal Cores?’
The members of the two tribes couldn’t help but grit their teeth. ’Where did this Shuishan Tribe even come from? They’re ruining everything!’
"You found such pure salt and traded for it yourself without telling us, Tiger!"
"Were you afraid we’d try to take it from you?"
"Exactly! Aren’t we supposed to be good brothers?"
Faced with his three partners’ accusations, even someone as thick-skinned as the Snow Tiger Witch found it a bit much. He immediately turned to the Scorpion and Yan Yan tribes. "Let’s discuss the Crystal Cores another day. The four of us have things to talk about, so we’ll be leaving now."
With that, he didn’t give them another glance, grabbing his three brothers and bolting.
The faces of the Scorpion and Yan Yan tribe members turned utterly black.
Watching them huff and puff with rage, Wu Yue nearly snorted with laughter.
"You’re all so greedy, demanding more and more Crystal Cores. Did you really think we just pick them up off the ground?
Since the road to your Red Flame Plain is so difficult, the tribes of the Polar Forest won’t be traveling it anymore. Your Beastman Warriors can just drink witch medicine to advance on their own."
With a cold snort, Wu Yue turned and left with Yuan Lang.
On the vast, empty field, only the members of the Scorpion and Yan Yan tribes remained, their dark faces looking as if they’d all been painted with the same black dye.
"What do we do now? The Polar Forest tribes have a new source for salt. What’s going to happen to our supply of Crystal Cores?"
A Scorpion Beastman slammed his fist on the table before him, his voice filled with hatred.
The witch’s expression was just as grim. She had been the one to propose increasing the price in Crystal Cores. She wanted the Beastman Warriors of the Yan Yan Tribe to grow stronger as quickly as possible—strong enough to support her ambitions.
But the most reliable way for Beastman Warriors to grow more powerful was to advance using the Fierce Beast Crystal Cores they traded for here in the Polar Forest.
’She had thought everything would go smoothly. But she never expected that this detestable female would ruin her plans yet again.’
"Let’s head back for now. If the Polar Forest tribes truly no longer need to travel through the Red Flame Plain to trade with the Sea Side Tribe for salt..."
She didn’t finish the sentence, but the cold light glinting in her eyes sent a chill down the spines of those around her.
Seeing this, the Scorpion Tribe’s Beastman Warriors nodded.
’If they couldn’t obtain Fierce Beast Crystal Cores through peaceful trade, they would have to resort to violence.’
’No matter what, the strength of the tribe was paramount.’
Meanwhile, the witches of the other three tribes surrounded the Snow Tiger Witch, their faces serious. "Was that salt really traded from some tribe called Shuishan?"
The Snow Tiger Witch gave a hollow laugh. "What Shuishan Tribe? There’s no such thing!"
"You old coot! Still trying to fool us at a time like this? That salt is obviously not the coarse salt we get from the coast."
The Black Wolf Witch slapped the table in front of him irritably. "Tell us the truth!"
’The Snow Tiger Witch was inwardly miserable, but he couldn’t say a thing. Was he really supposed to admit that the Snow Tiger Tribe’s Beastman Warriors had stolen all that pure salt from the Black Wolf Tribe’s own territory?’
