Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1413 - 1252: The Primeval Beast World 18

After everyone returned to the tribe, those who had stayed behind were astounded that Shili and his team were back so soon.Clan Leader Dou Yan had also just returned with his Hunting Team and was counting the prey when he heard the news that his son Shili had returned so quickly, which made him anxious, rushing out in a hurry.

The Hunting Team led by Shili was the tribe’s most crucial team. They wouldn’t come back without prey unless something had happened, like the last time when they unexpectedly encountered a Horror Beast.

Dou Yan feared that Shili and his team had unfortunately run into another mishap, especially since Shuangshuang, the Great Witch, was with the Hunting Team. If something happened, it would be disastrous.

Who would have thought that in his anxiety, Dou Yan would walk out to find a group of people moving slowly, nearly invisible under their heavy load of prey, leaving him dumbstruck with shock.

This wasn’t a returning Hunting Team; it was a mountain of prey coming back! In all his years, he had never seen such a bountiful harvest.

It turned out not to be an accident, but an early, massive bounty for the Hunting Team. Watching the encumbered team move ever more slowly, Dou Yan didn’t bother to ask how they had brought back so much in such a short time.

Instead, he quickly turned around and called the people in the tribe to come help, "What are you all standing there dazed for? Don’t you see these people are about to be crushed? Hurry and help unload the prey!"

Most of the tribe had already rushed out in amazement at the sight of the Hunting Team’s massive haul, standing dumbfounded in disbelief.

With Dou Yan’s call, everyone snapped back and hurried to help the Hunting Team unload the prey from their backs, and were once again astounded.

All the prey were tightly bound with vine ropes. Though their eyes were closed and they lay motionless, their bodies were warm to the touch, with chests rising and falling—clearly only knocked out—these prey were all alive!

To the tribe, live prey was more precious than dead because they still had blood—not because Beastmen were bloodthirsty, but they understood the importance and benefits of eating salt.

Salt was very difficult to come by for the Beastmen, as the Silver Tiger Clan could only obtain a little salt by trading at the annual tribal gatherings with salt-producing clans.

Apart from Shuangshuang, the Great Witch, the tribe was quite sparing with salt, barely daring to use it because it was so expensive.

However, too little salt intake wasn’t good either. At such times, drinking the blood of prey to replenish salt was the best option, but live prey were hard to capture, so the tribe seldom had the chance to drink blood.

No one expected the Hunting Team to catch so many live prey this time, allowing them to indulge in drinking blood for salt replenishment.

Yet everyone was curious how the Hunting Team managed to bring back so many live prey.

Some Beastmen immediately grabbed someone familiar from the Hunting Team to inquire about the hunt’s details: How did they achieve such a bounty, and why were all the prey alive?

The Hunting Team, eager to boast about their hunting adventure, began to recount the story when questioned.

However, the tale was somewhat exaggerated, with Shuangshuang depicted as extraordinary, almost like a true Heavenly God, captivating the tribe with awe.

Meanwhile, Shuangshuang blushed deeply and hid away, unable to endure the excessive flattery from the Hunting Team.

That night, the Silver Tiger Clan held another grand feast, with Earth Lord God as the guest of honor!

Today’s feast was combined with a ritual, making it extremely important, prompting everyone to dress in their most majestic attire.

Everyone in the tribe wore their finest Beast Skin skirts, necklaces strung with fang beads around their necks, and colorful feather crowns perched atop their heads, showcasing a distinctly primitive ceremonial style.

As the Great Witch, Shuangshuang was ceremonially dressed in a Beast Skin skirt made from the tribe’s fiercest beast, along with a cloak hastily crafted from the tribe’s vibrant feathers.

Feathers adorned her head as well, covering her from head to toe in a colorful array. Despite the vibrant feathers, Shuangshuang couldn’t help but see herself reflected in the water as resembling an odd-looking wild chicken.

This outfit didn’t fit Shuangshuang’s aesthetic, but it perfectly aligned with the tastes of Dou Yan, Tu Ya, Shili, and Saran, who insisted she keep it on.

So, Shuangshuang stood there disconsolately, draped in vibrant feathers, looking like an agitated wild chicken as she led the ornately dressed primitives in the second sacrifice to the Earth Lord God.

Compared to the previous ritual’s simplicity, this one was lavish far beyond, featuring no fewer than twelve types of roasted meat, including large and many smaller but delicious game.

For this ritual, Shuangshuang didn’t need to worry, as Dou Yan and Tu Ya, having witnessed her leading the last one, managed the preparations.

At the final God Sacrifice Dance, Shuangshuang was truly astonished. The last time had been a whim of hers, and she had forgotten about it while busy with medicine.

Unbeknownst to her, the Female Orcs she’d chosen for the God Sacrifice Dance remembered, diligently practicing during this time, and their performance even amazed worldly-wise Lian Shuangshuang.

The Female Orcs moved with incredible grace; many of the intricate moves Shuangshuang had imagined but thought too challenging were skillfully performed, fluid and elegant yet dignified.

After the dance ended, Shuangshuang found herself wanting more.

If seen by Shuangshuang, it was impressive; for those primitive Beastmen, it was utterly astonishing.

Shuangshuang sat beside Father Shili and Mother Salan, hearing Salan exclaim with envy, "Their dance is truly beautiful. I wonder if I’d look that good if I danced too."

The admiration was evident in Salan’s voice. Despite being one of the most formidable warriors in the tribe, her slender, graceful figure made her well-suited for dancing.

Moreover, Salan was the most beautiful in the tribe, which Shuangshuang knew would surpass even modern stars, far surpassing the other Female Orcs in beauty. If she danced, it would surely be a visual feast.
