455: Chapter 113 The Source Water_1 455: Chapter 113 The Source Water_1 This snake hunt was a resounding success.
The three Holy Tribe warriors were all in good spirits, even the usually reserved Qing Jiuye’s expression was much more relaxed.
This ti, they collected a great amount of Hidden Snake skins, the warriors found so vines and divided the skins into several bundles before securing them all.
They knew all too well how much a set of Hidden clothes could reduce the risks of hunting; no one appreciated this fact more than those who grew up here.
This harvest was considered the most significant hunting gain for the Holy Tribe in recent years.
Wu Quji’s research wasn’t entirely useless, after all.
Solving the mystery of the Hidden Snake poison improved the margin of error when hunting Hidden Snakes.
For the Senhai Holy Clan’s future, this ant an unending supply of Hidden clothes, the importance of which was undeniable.
Of course, what gains he could actually achieve depended on how well he could negotiate the price.
It couldn’t possibly result in another lesson in “running techniques”.
Only Su Qi was quieter than before.
…
In the Divine Shade Land, Divine dragon trees could be seen everywhere.
But outside, the only Divine dragon tree one could see was the one right before their eyes.
Or rather, all the Divine dragon trees in the Divine Shade Land depended on this one.
It was tall, sturdy, and stood out on its own.
According to the legends of the Senhai Holy Tribe, the very first Divine dragon tree in the world was the one the Dragon God coiled around in its youth.
Born alongside the Dragon God, it naturally possessed God nature.
It was for this reason it had the opportunity to be irrigated with Divine Power, creating a Divine Shade Land within its vicinity.
However, the presently inhabited Divine Shade Land of the Senhai Holy Tribe wasn’t the original one that ca into being alongside the most ancient Divine dragon tree.
Throughout their long history, the Senhai Holy Tribe had migrated several tis and had long since lost their ancestral holand.
In the legends, the Senhai Holy Tribe was believed to be the naturally bred beings of the Divine Shade Land and, although they were no different from the Human Race, they declared themselves the Holy Tribe because of the “Divine Favour”.
Entering the Divine Shade Land, the triumphant Holy Tribe warriors returned with their heads high and chests puffed out.
The tribespeople also showed ample enthusiasm; the Holy Tribe maidens sent covert glances, warriors who stayed behind received the ga, and the children’s eyes widened with admiration…
After all, their successful hunt of the Hidden Snake continued the many years of absence of Holy Tribe warriors in the land of the Hidden Snake.
They truly deserved the title “brave warriors”.
The injured Qing Qishu, amidst glances of concern, was positively radiant, “That Hidden Snake ca within a finger’s breadth of ; its fangs nearly grazed my face.
Was I scared?
Of course not!
I let it bite!
Bite all it wanted, as hard as it could.
If I even furrowed my brow, I wouldn’t be the number one tough guy of the Holy Tribe!”
Before anyone could challenge his sudden claim to the title of number one tough guy, or question where such a ranking ca from, he continued with a spittle-flecked oration, “Look at my wound, what’s a scar?
A scar is the highest accolade for a hero!”
Wu Quji spoke the plain truth, “With your healing ability, it seems unlikely you’ll even have a scar.”
Qing Qishu glared at him, so annoying!
But when his gaze happened to sweep across a charming figure with a coy smile, his voice suddenly climbed another octave, “This so-called forbidden and perilous land of Hidden Snakes, what’s it count for!
Although Hidden Snake bites are painful, and their poison fearso, would I, Qing Qishu, ever shy away from difficulty?
You don’t know, back then…”
“Qinghua!” he exclaid excitedly.
Qing Baziu shoved his way past Qing Qishu, bursting forward with a beaming smile, “I made you a hat out of Hidden Snake skin!
See if you like it!”
Qing Qishu: ???
So that’s what you’d been up to secretly the whole way!
Well done, you big-eyed braided lass, playing these little gas with !
I rember when I said I was going to give Qinghua a hat, what was it you said, huh?
That it was too ugly?
And now suddenly you’ve stolen your Grandpa Qiushu’s idea.
Shaless!!!
Looking at Qing Baziu, whose head was topped with eight braids, Qing Qishu wished he could thump him with the Qingmu shield.
The skin of the Hidden Snake was actually gray in color, but it could change to match the environnt, complenting its natural ability to stay hidden.
As a result, the hat was destined to have an unimpressive, drab appearance.
Plus, Qing Bachizhi’s craft skills…
Frankly, he was great at spearing Sen Bears in the buttocks but totally clueless when it ca to hat making.
The word “ugly” wasn’t strong enough to describe it.
Qinghua received the hat and, besides smiling in thanks, didn’t show any other reaction.
But just that smile was enough to satisfy Qing Bachizhi, who grinned so wide he couldn’t close his mouth, “As long as you like it, that’s great, that’s great, I’ve got lots more!
I’ll make you a shoulder cape next ti!”
Qing Jiuye’s upturned mouth corners involuntarily flattened.
He wasn’t as lively as Qing Qishu and Qing Bachizhi, not as expressive nor proactive, so at this mont he couldn’t help feeling rueful.
Qing Qishu’s heart was so sour, so full of spite that his normally non-stop babbling mouth lost its flavor and shut.
He turned his head, looking at Jiang Wang with pleading eyes.
The request for help was obvious.
What to do, Mr.
Zhang, soone has taken the idea of gift-giving!
Jiang Wang returned a calming gaze.
Don’t panic.
As for why not to panic…
he hadn’t figured that out yet; he would co up with sothing later when he had ti.
For now, the priority was to get his hands on the Hidden clothes.
After all, he really wasn’t worried.
What did it matter to him who Qinghua liked?
…
The technique for tanning Hidden clothes was a secret of the Holy Tribe, known only to the senior priest.
She was also very pleased with the abundant harvest of Hidden Snake skins.
She consoled the three Dragon God envoys with kindness and showed considerable sincerity upon noticing Wu Quji’s injury.
“Bring three drops of Origin Water,” she instructed Qinghua.
Just by looking at Qing Qishu’s expression, one could see how precious this item was.
When three small wooden bottles were brought out on a tray, Jiang Wang could feel a pulsing vitality through the bottles.
“Drink the drop of Origin Water in this bottle, and your hand will recover today, even better than before,” the senior priest took a bottle and handed it to Wu Quji, “The three Dragon God envoys braved great dangers to confront Yan Xiao.
Our clan has nothing to repay you with.
This water is the treasure of our Holy Tribe – each drop used is one less in reserve.
Taking it can heal injuries, as long as you’re not dead, you can recover.
If you’re uninjured, it can also enhance your essence and aid your cultivation.”
She said kindly, “One drop for each envoy.
Please accept it.”
Jiang Wang certainly wouldn’t be shy; it wasn’t easy to get this old lady to offer sothing valuable.
Perhaps the harvest from the Divine Shade Land pleased her, or maybe she wanted Wu Quji to stay in peak condition for confronting Yan Xiao.
Considering his own arm’s recovery was at stake, Wu Quji wasn’t going to be bashful.
However, being a dical Cultivator, he would need to verify it with his own thods before taking it.
When Qinghua offered the tray to Su Qi, Su Qi refused it.
“I don’t want this drop of Origin Water.”
He said to the senior priest, “I just want to know, what exactly caused the ‘Night Attack’?
I want all your Holy Tribe’s records about this matter.
Tell everything you know.”
Su Qi had lost soone very important during the “Night Attack”, and the senior priest knew this through Qing Qishu.
Thus, she wasn’t surprised by Su Qi’s reaction.
“You should still take the Origin Water; it’s beneficial for your strengthening, and I believe that’s what you need,” she said generously.
“As for the ‘Night Attack’, we who live in fear of it year-round are even more eager to resolve this issue than you.
Soon you may go directly to our library, all our records relevant to it will be completely accessible to you.
No exchange necessary, because, just like eliminating Yan Xiao, it is our shared mission.”
Su Qi was silent for a mont, then took the wooden bottle.
It was clear that, at this mont, he finally felt a trace of recognition for the Senhai Holy Clan.
