Chapter 480 - 379: Another Worm Witch
Yuan Lang threw down the blood-stained Beast Skin in his hand and walked toward Wu Yue, who was running over. "What happened?"
Wu Yue’s expression was grim. "The Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch has released a lot of Poisonous Insects toward our tribe. They look like centipedes. We need to prepare."
Yuan Lang’s eyes turned cold. ’That female is as hard to kill as a cockroach, so annoying.’
"Go back and prepare some medicinal powder that can repel the Poisonous Insects. I’ll go inform the Beastman Warriors."
Wu Yue nodded. "Okay. Be extra careful on your patrols."
With that, she turned and left. It wasn’t until she was sitting back in her house that she thought of something: how was Yuan Lang going to explain to the tribe that he knew about the Poisonous Insects?
But then she remembered his past identity. ’He’s probably just as good at fooling people as I am, right?’
As it turned out, her worry was completely unnecessary. Yuan Lang had sold her out without a second thought.
"Yue had a little beast follow the Yan Yan Tribe. Unexpectedly, it came back with a Poisonous Insect. Yue only had time to see that it looked like a multi-legged bug before the little beast ate it.
So, Yue told us to increase the number of patrols and patrollers today. We can’t let these Poisonous Insects released by the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch have any chance to enter our tribe."
Hearing this, the expressions of the Snow Tiger Witch and the Snow Tiger Tribe Leader instantly turned grave.
A look of disgust appeared on the Snow Tiger Witch’s old face. "I don’t know what’s wrong with the tribes on the Red Flame Plain. Why have so many Worm Witches appeared in recent years?"
Grumbling aside, the necessary preparations still had to be made. When the people of the Snow Tiger Tribe learned that the detestable Beastmen of the Yan Yan Tribe were actually planning to ambush them, old and new hatreds surged up, and they exploded with anger.
Those bastards really think the Snow Tiger Tribe is a pushover, don’t they? To think they’d bring the fight right to our doorstep!
The uncles might be able to tolerate it, but the grandmas can’t!
That night, the Snow Tiger Tribe’s patrol teams were divided into two squads: the Light Squad and the Dark Squad.
The Light Squad was made up of the previously arranged tribesmen, while the Dark Squad was a team composed mostly of Beastman Warriors. Their orders were to kill or capture any Poisonous Insects or intruding strange Beastmen on sight.
The System’s intelligence work was quite good. As expected of its precise, live broadcast-style reporting, the army of Poisonous Insects sent by the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch arrived at the Snow Tiger Tribe’s territory in the dead of night.
Having made preparations, the people of the Snow Tiger Tribe immediately heard a series of rustling sounds.
What these centipede-like Poisonous Insects didn’t know was that ahead of them, on the Snow Tiger Tribe’s ground, a barrier of medicinal powder awaited.
Meanwhile, behind them, many Beastman Warriors had circled around, forming an encirclement to trap all the Poisonous Insects inside.
HISS!
Following a sharp hiss, the Poisonous Insect at the very front let out a piercing shriek and reared up its body. All of its densely packed legs scrabbled, wishing the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch had given it a few more to retreat with.
Its frontmost legs had already been corroded by the medicinal powder, and its head could only droop limply to the ground.
Seeing their companion’s miserable state, the surrounding Poisonous Insects finally sensed the danger ahead. One by one, they began to scurry in circles, not daring to cross the invisible line before them.
"Host, hurry and let my little bros out for a feast! These insects are a great supplement for the Salt Crystal Beasts."
The System’s anxious voice rang in Wu Yue’s mind, and only then did she remember the little Blue Fatties that had been raised on the back mountain all this time.
She immediately ordered a nearby Half beastman Warrior to bring the little Blue Fatties over.
Hearing her order, the eyes of the Snow Tiger Witch and the Snow Tiger Tribe Leader, who were standing nearby, lit up.
Because they had been afraid the other tribes would discover the little Blue Fatties, they had sent the little guys to the back mountain a few days before the trading meet.
Remembering the lethality Wu Yue’s Blue Fatties had shown against Poisonous Insects before, the eyes of the Snow Tiger Tribe members sparkled.
Their fear subsided as they looked at the dense mass of multi-legged insects within the circle of powder.
Far from the Snow Tiger Tribe’s camp, the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch, who was controlling the Poisonous Insects, suddenly went pale. Her eyes snapped open, filled with gloom.
"Damn that Snow Tiger Tribe! Why do they have a medicinal powder that can counter Poisonous Insects!"
Hearing this, a Beastman Warrior guarding her turned around. "Lady Witch, do you remember that time the Worm Witch from the Scorpion Tribe sent Poisonous Insects after the Flying Eagle Tribe in the Polar Forest?"
