Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1412 - 1251: Primeval Beast World 17

Just as Shuangshuang expected, upon hearing that this hunting result was not due to witch power but the result of the Great Witch’s knowledge, and hearing Shuangshuang say she would teach them the Great Witch’s knowledge, all the beastmen were thrilled.They did not understand what this knowledge was, but were sure it was something good. They knew this knowledge could enable them to hunt enough prey, reducing life-and-death dangers, and with ample prey, they could eat their fill.

Thus, this knowledge was the best thing in the world, and now the Great Witch was going to teach them such a wonderful thing, the beastmen were moved.

"Thank the Great Witch for being willing to teach us knowledge!"

"Thank the Great Witch for putting so much effort into teaching us knowledge!"

"Great Witch, rest assured, I will study seriously and not disappoint your teaching."

"Thank you, Great Witch. I am willing to forever follow the Great Witch and pledge loyalty to the Great Witch!"

"I am willing to follow the Great Witch and pledge loyalty to the Great Witch!"

"I am willing to follow the Great Witch and pledge loyalty to the Great Witch!"

...

In their excitement, the beastmen fell to their knees again, thanking Shuangshuang vocally, eventually shouting together to follow and pledge loyalty to the Great Witch!

From the scattered initial shouts to increasingly loud and orderly shouts, it became a unanimous chant from all the beastmen: "I am willing to follow the Great Witch and pledge loyalty to the Great Witch!"

The beastmen obeyed the Great Witch’s orders and followed in her footsteps, out of innate fear and a habit of submission to the Great Witch.

Because they were taught from childhood that the Great Witch is always right, always to be obeyed, never defied, and all decisions of the Great Witch are to be followed.

Though the beastmen showed great respect and submission to the Great Witch, it was just that. They wouldn’t risk their lives to protect the Great Witch, instead assuming the Great Witch should be the tribe’s protector.

This results from thousands of years of tradition, with beastmen worshiping, submissive to, and offering their best to the Great Witch.

Then, facing danger, receiving the Great Witch’s protection, in times of confusion, getting the Great Witch’s guidance, and when sick or injured, receiving the Great Witch’s healing.

When the Great Witch passes away, beastmen await the next Great Witch, and the cycle of worship and submission continues.

But swearing loyalty and following is different; it signifies beastmen’s complete submission to one person, entrusting their lives without reserve, willing to face life and death for the loyalty and follow the person without regret.

Once loyal to and following someone, beastmen no longer just receive protection and obedience, but would risk their lives to protect the one they pledge loyalty to.

Beastmen are straightforward and don’t easily pledge loyalty and follow, but once they promise and swear, it’s for life, till death follows.

If prior respect and obedience to Shuangshuang stemmed from her Great Witch status, without that status, she would be considered just a kid in the tribe to them.

But now, for the first time, they genuinely and from the bottom of their hearts appreciate and respect Shuangshuang as the Great Witch, because Shuangshuang genuinely cares for them, and they all feel it.

Though their Silver Tiger Clan often interacts with other tribes and is familiar with the Great Witch, they’ve never heard of any Great Witch willing to teach their knowledge to beastmen, not even among those in the Super Tribe.

Though innately respecting the Great Witch and never finding anything wrong with this approach nor feeling dissatisfaction, it didn’t mean they didn’t understand whether the Great Witch was truly sincere or indifferent toward them.

To someone indifferent to them, beastmen obey and listen but are unwilling to risk their lives for such a person.

With this, Shuangshuang genuinely won over a loyal group of beastmen, including the tribe’s most powerful fighters.

Listening to beastmen constantly shouting to follow her, Shuangshuang felt a bit embarrassed.

Though she has held positions of power before and accepted others’ loyalty, the straightforward enthusiasm of these beastmen always left her a bit flustered.

Unable to resist coughing lightly, Shuangshuang awkwardly pointed her finger: "Alright, get up then."

The Illusion Beast Incense can indeed stun the prey, but it has a time limit, so let’s hurry and tie them up. Don’t delay, or once they regain consciousness, it’ll be troublesome."

According to heritage memory records, the effect of Illusion Beast Incense should last half a day, meaning the stunned prey remains immobile for several hours.

However, Shuangshuang is uncertain if the Illusion Beast Incense she made matches the potency described in heritage memory, though its power seems far stronger.

She wasn’t sure about its duration, whether it was longer or shorter.

Although these beastmen pledging and kneeling didn’t take too long, Shuangshuang worried that if her Illusion Beast Incense turns out to be powerful but short-lived, it would be troublesome.

She wasn’t afraid of large horned sheep or carnivorous beasts reacting and attacking the Hunting Team, as she was confident she could protect them with no harm.

Her concern was if these big horned sheep awoke early, attacking and escaping, making it difficult to catch.

Fortunately, none of Shuangshuang’s concerns occurred. It proved her Illusion Beast Incense was not only powerful but also persistent.

The Hunting Team efficiently tied up all the prey; only took a few female beasts, though not in the breeding season, they tried not to harm them.

Several stunned carnivorous beasts were also tied up, but beastmen mostly captured many small prey populating the ground, small in size but numerous.

Even if they abandoned some female and male beasts, these small prey filled their packs completely.

Leaving with so much prey slowed everyone down, heavily burdening them and significantly hampering travel speed.

Originally, Shuangshuang thought of giving up some prey since hunting was no longer dangerous with the Illusion Beast Incense, meaning hunting could happen anytime without taking too much at once.

However, the beastmen, accustomed to simplicity, generously released female beasts but were attached to taking all prey they could, unwilling to let go despite Shuangshuang’s persuasion.

Though Shuangshuang could force them to leave prey behind, seeing them attach their eyes to the prey, she sighed deeply and couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Thinking she was present to help in case of trouble, Shuangshuang let them be.

For safety, she handed each some Illusion Beast Incense for defense, in case they encountered powerful beasts or Horror Beasts, they should immediately light the incense.
