Chapter 411: They Were Jealous

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

First Elder got someone to pack up the herbs and take them away. Then, he got people to bring up six wooden boxes before opening them all.

Each box contained a bone.

They looked like a part of a large beast. Each bone was different in shape. The most obvious bone was the skull in the middle.

When that skull appeared, Huanhuan was acutely aware that the eyes of the other five witch doctors had lit up.

They stared at the skull in unison, looking like they couldn’t wait to take it for themselves.

Huanhuan did not understand what was so special about this skull. In her opinion, other than being a little black and big, it was no different from the other five bones.

First Elder said, “According to the results of the competition, the first place will choose first.”

Huanhuan asked in confusion, “What’s the use of these bones?”

First Elder ignored her, clearly not wanting to talk to her.

In the end, it was Second Elder who took the initiative to smooth things over. “Every bone represents a mission. Choose any bone from the ones in front of you and complete that mission with your tribesmen. Whichever tribe completes the mission the fastest will be qualified to upgrade to a medium-level beast city.”

Huanhuan asked, “Can’t you tell me what the missions these bones represent?”

“I can’t.”

“Okay.” Huanhuan was helpless. She had to rely on her luck.

She walked past five wooden boxes, then came to the box in the middle. She stared at the skull in front of her for a long time, wondering if she should take it.

The other five witch doctors all stared at her as if trying to stop her from picking up the skull.

Unfortunately, they didn’t succeed.

Huanhuan finally picked up the ordinary-looking skull.

Second Elder immediately asked, “Are you sure you want to choose it?”

Lin Huanhuan nodded. “Yup!”

Although she didn’t understand why everyone was staring at it, it must be something good if so many people were fighting over it.

Since it was something good, she would definitely get it first!

Second Elder nodded with a smile. “Very good. Please take the skull back. I’ll tell you all what these bones represent later.”

Huanhuan walked back with the skull.

The other five witch doctors were all staring at her. If not for the fact that there were people watching, they looked like they would have pounced on her and snatched her away!

Second Elder reminded, “Jiang Bo, please come over and pick a bone.”

The best bone had been picked. Jiang Bo looked a little disinterested. His eyes swept around as he casually chose a long leg bone.

The next three witch doctors chose the rib, tibia, and hand bone respectively.

Huanhuan hugged the big skull and smiled proudly. “Look, I got the biggest bone!”

Bai Di looked at her with a complicated expression. “Do you know who these bones belonged to?”

“Who?”

“The beast king of Divine Wood City, Qian Ye.”

Huanhuan: “…”

It was the skull of an old acquaintance!

She quickly threw the skull to Bai Di and clasped her hands together. “I’m sorry,” she muttered. “I didn’t expect this to be your remains. Please don’t be offended!”

Bai Di didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I didn’t see you show this much respect to him when he was alive.”

“This is called respecting the dead.”

After Huanhuan walked away, First Elder finally opened his mouth and said unhurriedly, “The mission the prophet has arranged for everyone this time is to cooperate to destroy the demons. The bones you obtained just now represent your position in this battle and the mission you have to complete.”

He paused, his gaze landing lightly on the Rock Wolf Tribe. “You’ve obtained the skull, which means you’ll be the main force in this battle. As for your mission…”

At this point, he laughed indifferently. “Heh, your mission is very simple. You just have to kill any high-level demon above the general level.”

Hearing this, all the beasts present looked shocked.

High-level demons above the general level were at least eight-star and above!

Killing an eight-star expert was as difficult as ascending the sky!

Noticing the gloating looks of Jiang Bo and the other competitors, Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Is the mission I chose very bad?”

Shuang Yun chuckled. “No.”

“Then why do they look like they’re watching a show?”

“They’re just jealous.”

“Really?” Huanhuan was skeptical.

Bai Di stroked her head. “You have to believe in our strength. High-level demons at the general level are difficult to deal with, but we’re not completely hopeless. After all, we’ve broken into their territory and escaped unscathed before. The demons aren’t as scary as they think.”

Xue Ling tidied his sleeves and said casually, “At the very least, I’m here. It’s just a high-level demon. I can take them on easily.”

Hearing their words, Huanhuan slowly relaxed.

Blue Crystal City obtained the leg bone. They had to successfully complete at least three raids.

Earth Crystal City obtained the rib. Their mission was to successfully destroy three enemy fortifications.

Golden Crystal City obtained the hand bone. They had to steal the right information at least three times.

Black Crystal City obtained the tibia, they had to capture at least 30 enemies as prisoners.

First Elder emphasized, “There’s one more thing you have to remember. You only have a month. If you can’t complete the mission within a month, it means that you’ve failed.”

Once they failed, they would all be eliminated and lose the right to compete for the chance to be upgraded to a medium-level beast city.

None of these tasks was easy. Everyone looked serious.

“At the moment, we’ve already sent troops to open up a battlefield near the Black River. On the other side of the river is the land occupied by the demon race’s army. Bring your men to the Black River as soon as possible. There’s not much time. Good luck.”

With that, First Elder turned around and left.

The other elders also left one after another.

Strangely, the city lords of the five beast cities except for the Rock Wolf Tribe did not leave. They walked up to Shuang Yun in unison.

The city lord of Blue Crystal City smiled warmly. “I know that your Rock Wolf Tribe is near the Black River. You’re more familiar with the terrain there. I hope to seek your guidance in this cooperative battle.”

Shuang Yun still remembered how Jiang Bo had bullied Huanhuan just now and replied very coldly, “Mhm.”

“The witch doctor, Jiang Bo, has a bad temper. His words just now were a little unpleasant, but he still meant well. I hope you won’t lower yourself to his level.”
