Bringing a System to the Beast World

Why isn't Chapter 371 from our tribe?

Don't let my age fool you; I'm not stupid. I would never tell such a blunt truth.

Just as Xuehu Wu was being pressured by several tribal shamans to the point of sweating profusely, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang walked in from outside, humming and hawing in good spirits.

Upon seeing Wu Yue, the elderly Snow Tiger Witch almost burst into tears. "You little brat, you're finally back! You've really ruined me!"

He forced a seemingly kind smile onto his withered old face: "Yue, quickly tell the shamans where that salt comes from!"

Upon hearing Xuehu Wu's words, the three shamans' sharp gazes instantly locked onto Wu Yue.

Wu Yue, who was humming the little tune, almost bit her tongue: "Um! Hehe!"

"What are you 'hey' for! Speak properly!"

The three shamans were extremely anxious, it was driving them crazy. But the old shaman Snow Tiger had been rambling on for a long time without giving a clear answer. Now that someone had given them an answer, they were naturally very anxious.

Wu Yue chuckled and took out a stone pot from behind her: "I boiled it in water."

Boiled in water?

You think we can boil water and get salt out of it? Do you think the three of us are idiots?
Seeing their "you're kidding me" expressions, Wu Yue chuckled and took out a few pieces of coarse salt from her backpack, throwing them into the stone pot: "I figured the shamans wouldn't believe it either, so I brought a few pieces of coarse salt with me."

Whether or not it's possible to boil down to such pure salt, you'll see for yourselves.

The stone pot containing coarse salt blocks was placed on the stove outside the house, and several shamans sat around it, all watching intently as the salt in the stone pot changed.

As Wu Yue stirred, the coarse salt in the stone pot gradually melted, turning into a pot of somewhat turbid brine.

"This is pure salt?"

Black Wolf Witch looked at Wu Yue with suspicion.

Wu Yue chuckled: "This is just the first step."

Yuan Lang took the stone pot off the stove. There was another clean stone pot on the ground next to it, but this stone pot was covered with a straw mat.

He poured the salt water from the stone pot into a new stone pot covered with a straw mat, repeating this process several times until Wu Yue said it was ready. Only then did he put the remaining salt water back on the stove to boil.

As the simmering time increased, the brine in the stone pot gradually decreased. Just as the three shamans were about to fall asleep, Wu Yue's cheerful voice came from beside them: "It's ready."

Black Wolf Witch was the first to look up with excitement. He saw that a layer of very clear salt had appeared at the bottom of the stone pot, with a faint blue hue, which looked very beautiful.

It was exactly the same as what the orc warrior had poured out of the bamboo jar before.

"It really was cooked!"

Flying Eagle Witch stared at the salt at the bottom of the pot, muttering to himself.

Snow Tiger Witch's smug grin almost reached his ears: "See? I didn't lie to you, did I? The shaman disciples I selected are naturally the most outstanding."

Before he could finish gloating, the black wolf shaman with a dark face stood up from the small stool, rushed to the snow tiger shaman's side and growled: "Your salt is boiled from coarse salt, why were you bragging about exchanging it from some Water Mountain tribe!"

Upon hearing Black Wolf Witch's words, Flying Eagle Witch and Mad Lion Witch's faces also darkened.

Snow Tiger Witch chuckled dryly, "Well, this is definitely for the future of our polar forest. Come on, let's go inside and talk. Be careful that those shameless people from the Crimson Flame Plains don't overhear us if we talk here." While coaxing his three old friends, he turned around and gestured to Wu Yue with his chin, "You little brat, come in too."

Come in quickly, I can't handle this alone!
Amused by Wu's winks and grimaces, Wu Yue followed the other bigwigs inside.

"Moon, what you said in front of the altar just now, did you have something on your mind?"

Before the three shamans could speak, Snow Tiger Shaman directly asked Wu Yue.

The little female nodded very seriously: "I went with the orc warriors when they hunted the ferocious beast cores. I don't know why, but now all the ferocious beasts in the deep forest have migrated out."

Even on the outskirts of the deep forest, we can encounter extremely powerful mid-level ferocious beasts, making it even more difficult for us to hunt crystal cores.

However, these tribes of the Crimson Flame Plains only asked us to pass through their territory, yet they demanded so many crystal cores from us.

This year, we also want to increase the number of crystal cores.

The reason they dared to do this is because our polar forest tribes, who wanted to exchange salt, could only go through the Red Flame Plains to reach the coastal tribes.

But what if another tribe appeared that could trade salt with us without having to go through the Crimson Flame Plains?

“In that case, the Poison Scorpion Tribe and the Rock Salt Tribe will not dare to increase the number of crystal cores!” Flying Eagle Witch said with a gleam in his eyes.

"That's right. Not only should we prevent them from increasing the number of crystal cores, we should also reduce the number of crystal cores so that these tribes in the Crimson Flame Plains can become powerful."

Our polar forests and the Crimson Plains are adjacent. If they become powerful, all the crystal cores we painstakingly obtained will be used to upgrade their orc warriors.

"If our tribes in the Crimson Flame Plains become powerful enough, we'll simply take over the Arctic Forest territory. Then I can hunt for as many crystal cores as I want."

The four shamans certainly understood this principle. Over the years, they had been controlling the number of crystal cores they taught to the Crimson Flame Plains. However, the tribes of the Crimson Flame Plains could still upgrade using shamanic potions even without crystal cores.

Tribes in the polar forests cannot survive without salt; this is their vulnerability.

"The method for making this pure salt is known only to us and must be kept secret. Then the people of the Crimson Flame Plains tribe will not doubt our previous words. If the shamans act casually, this matter will definitely succeed."

Even if the tribes of the Crimson Flame Plains wanted to conquer our territory in the Polar Forest, without enough crystal cores to upgrade their orc warriors, they could only wait.

After Wu Yue finished speaking, the Flying Eagle Witch, Black Wolf Witch, and Mad Lion Witch looked at Snow Tiger Witch with extreme envy and jealousy.

Why isn't this clever little female from their tribe?
Could it be that even the Beast God has a particular fondness for that shameless old man, Snow Tiger Witch?

Snow Tiger Witch: "."

If you're jealous, just be jealous. Don't resort to personal attacks all the time!

The small meeting of the four tribes in the polar forest has concluded, and they have reached a consensus on the exchange of crystal cores.

The next day, the members of the Scorpion Tribe and the Rock Salt Tribe were once again invited to the open space below the altar, but this time, they clearly felt the strength of the four major tribes of the polar forest.

Not only did they refuse to back down, they also demanded a reduction in the number of crystal cores provided to them, explicitly stating that they would be used to exchange for salt with another tribe that possessed it.
