189: Chapter 189 The savages are shocked! Witchcraft?!

"Two Outsiders?"

"One of them is a Shaman?"

"Killed all six Tribe members with Sorcery?"

This series of words silenced all the wildmen present.

Everyone was astonished, including the Chief clad in animal skins.

The wildman in the first row of side seats spoke first, raising an eyebrow in inquiry:

"Tell us more."

"As—as you command, Lord Yi..." the 'fleeing' wildman spoke.

Those who could take a seat in this Bamboo Village were basically the big shots of the Tribe.

The Chief and nine Lords.

They were referred to as Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui, respectively.

The Chief was Jia, followed by the nine Lords.

Their status followed in order, from highest to lowest.

These titles were not permanently fixed to a single wildman.

One could seize status through martial force, replacing an original Lord or even the Chief.

In primitive society, martial force was authority.

Other ordinary wildmen were not allowed to have any names or titles.

The Hand-Slayer wildman began to recount what had just happened.

"While we were staking out another Giant Panda, we encountered two Outsiders."

"However, their group was very strange; they were followed by a pack of animals."

"There were Wild Leopards, tigers, Parrots, and a group of monkeys."

The Hand-Slayer wildman paused, remembering something: "Right! There was also a swarm of Bees."

He hadn't seen Three Hairs, so he didn't know there was actually a Hamster as well.

After all, Three Hairs' current presence in battle was extremely low.

Several tribal big shots present were surprised.

"How did these two Outsiders tame so many animals?"

"Parrots and monkeys are understandable, but taming tigers and Wild Leopards..."

"These Outsiders indeed have some methods."

"Actually, that doesn't prove much. If raised from a young age, even fierce beasts can be tamed."

Several Lords nodded, finding this explanation reasonable.

Lord Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Were there any young beast cubs with the two Outsiders?"

The Hand-Slayer wildman recalled for a moment, then nodded repeatedly:

"Yes! There were indeed two beast cubs."

The Chief at the head of the table couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"So they are beasts tamed through rearing."

"Such beasts often lack their primal nature."

"I disdain taming beasts in this manner."

"What I want are beasts with their primal nature intact."

The Chief's face was full of mockery; as he spoke, he looked at the Giant Panda lying on the ground.

Although the Giant Panda was lying on the ground in a wretched state.

Its eyes were still fierce, without the slightest hint of submission.

The Chief was delighted. "Yes, yes, yes!"

"This is the kind of beast with primal nature that I want."

"Only by conquering such a beast can I feel a sense of achievement!"

As he spoke, the Chief's foot stepped onto the Giant Panda's head.

The latter tried to struggle and resist, but was pinned down by the Chief's foot, unable to move.

The Chief sneered, looking as proud as a king.

Then he looked at the Hand-Slayer wildman and said:

"What about the Shaman you mentioned just now? What was that about?"

The Hand-Slayer wildman seemed to recall something unpleasant, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

His voice trembled slightly:

"Ch-Chief, he can make objects disappear into thin air."

"At the time, we planned to hunt them and bring them back as food."

"So we used a trap..."

"We used large Bamboo Spikes."

"Just as we were about to succeed in the hunt, that young Outsider used Sorcery."

"He made one of the spikes vanish without a trace."

The Chief's face had been full of ease, but it turned into surprise upon hearing this.

The other Lords also showed astonishment.

Lord Yi frowned and was the first to speak:

"Vanish without a trace? What does that mean?"

"It means the spike disappeared right in front of him."

"Such a thing actually happened!?" Lord Wu said in disbelief.

"This kind of thing that exceeds understanding indeed cannot be explained by anything other than Sorcery," another Lord remarked.

"I thought Sorcery was just a legend, something fabricated by the imagination of the ancients."

"I didn't expect it to actually exist."

"..."

The Chief withdrew his foot from the panda's head.

He grinned and said, "Interesting."

"So, that guy used Sorcery to make both spikes disappear?"

The Hand-Slayer wildman shook his head: "No, that Shaman's Sorcery seems to have a distance limit."

"And it's very close. I think it can only be used within one or two meters."

"Oh?" Lord Xin asked curiously:

"Then the other spike trap succeeded?"

"No..." The Hand-Slayer wildman shook his head again.

"It must have been blocked by a fierce beast like a tiger or a Wild Leopard," said Lord Gui, who had the lowest status.

"Unless they were wearing armor, it's impossible to block the spikes unscathed," Lord Ren countered.

The other Lords nodded, all thinking it made sense.

But in that case, they couldn't figure out who dealt with the other large spike trap.

Could it be that the other Outsider also knew Sorcery?

The Chief's and all the Lords' gazes were fixed on the Hand-Slayer wildman.

The Hand-Slayer wildman swallowed.

He said somewhat haltingly, "It... it was the Parrot kept by the Outsider."

"It literally swatted the second spike trap away."

"What?!"

"Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui—the eight Lords all cried out in shock."

The Chief also had a look of shock on his face.

He frowned, his voice low:

"Are you kidding me?!"

"A Parrot could swat away a large spike trap?!"

"Was that Parrot huge?"

Only if it was huge to a certain extent could it swat away a large spike trap.

But given the falling speed of the large spike trap...

How big would that Parrot have to be?

The Hand-Slayer wildman took a deep breath and said:

"That Parrot isn't big..."

"On the contrary, it's very small."

"It's only about the size of our palm..."

The Lords' expressions were all the same, as if saying, "Are you kidding me?"

"Chief, Lords, I am not joking."

"That Parrot's strength is extraordinarily large. None of us here could withstand its massive power."

The scene fell into a dead silence.

The wildmen looked at each other, all staring in disbelief.

They couldn't imagine a Parrot only the size of their palm having such great strength.

"But even so, it's impossible for only one out of the seven of you to return, right?"

The Chief's tone became lower.

"That Shaman has another terrifying method."

The Hand-Slayer wildman began to describe An Ke's eerie methods.

He could make objects that had vanished into thin air reappear to launch an attack.

Naturally, the Hand-Slayer wildman hid the fact that he had killed his own companions.

He pushed the blame for everyone's death onto An Ke's group.

After hearing about An Ke's ability...

The wildmen were even more shocked by the "Shaman" An Ke's methods.
