Chapter 1399 - 1238: The Ancient Beast World 4
Dou Yan and Tu Ya, along with the tribe members, surrounded Da Shi. Everyone’s expression was sorrowful. Without a Great Witch in the tribe, and with Da Shi being severely injured, it seemed hopeless.Everyone watched as Da Shi struggled to breathe, spitting out bloody foam continuously, unable to do anything but wait for him to die.
Shi Li stood aside, his eyes red, fists clenched, yet helpless to save his good friend. All he could do was watch him await death.
Although they were used to facing life and death, with every hunt being a gamble between the two, the departure of tribe members, friends, and loved ones still filled them with sadness and grief.
It was at this moment that Shuangshuang emerged from behind the circle of people, almost running to Da Shi’s side, reaching out to grasp Da Shi’s hand.
The onlookers were momentarily stunned by Shuangshuang’s action. However, parents in the Primitive World, different from those in modern society, did not spoil their children.
Nor did they mind or avoid letting children see the dead. In fact, for them, death was something they got accustomed to from a young age.
So, although a bit surprised by Shuangshuang’s actions, no one stopped her. Furthermore, considering Da Shi was a good friend of Shi Li and had always been kind to Shuangshuang, it wasn’t unusual for her to be close to Da Shi.
Ignoring what others thought, Shuangshuang started using the power of the Great Witch to heal Da Shi’s injuries once she held his hand.
The use of Great Witch’s power was fascinating, radiating various lights like special effects. Shuangshuang used healing power, thus emitting a warm yellow light.
The onlookers saw the warm yellow light envelop Da Shi’s entire body after Shuangshuang took his hand.
While the younger tribe members were puzzled, the elder members and Clan Leader Dou Yan recognized the light. The previous Great Witch in the tribe had emitted the same light when healing the tribe members!
"The Great Witch, Shuangshuang is actually the Great Witch! No, she has awakened the Great Witch talent!" After the initial shock, Clan Leader Dou Yan was overjoyed and exclaimed loudly.
"I never imagined this kid Shuangshuang actually possesses the Great Witch talent; Da Shi is saved!" Dou Yan’s wife, Tu Ya, covered her mouth in surprise and joy, having seen the Great Witch’s abilities before.
"Hahaha, this is indeed a blessing from the heavens on our Silver Tiger Clan. Our Silver Tiger Clan unexpectedly has two children with the Great Witch talent!" After the initial disbelief and surprise, Dou Yan’s heart was filled with immense joy.
Meanwhile, the surrounding tribe members were also ecstatic. Having a child with the Great Witch talent in a tribe was a significant cause for celebration, coupled with practical benefits.
When the Super Tribe takes away a child with the Great Witch talent, they leave behind plenty of food, enough for a small tribe to safely endure a harsh cold season.
Beastmen suffering through the cold season lived the hardest lives. Every season’s end saw the death of countless old and young beastmen, sometimes even those in their prime.
Ample food to endure the cold season is extremely precious, and this is just a basic benefit.
The greatest advantage of having a child with the Great Witch talent is that they might return to the tribe as a Great Witch after leaving with the tribe.
Great Witches are rare, and not all tribes are fortunate enough to have one. Many are without a Great Witch. A Great Witch’s presence is crucial for a tribe.
A Great Witch is the center of a tribe, a symbol of wisdom and strength. They heal the tribe members, reduce deaths, guide the tribe for better development, and understand the changes in nature to lead the tribe in avoiding disasters.
Tribes with a Great Witch find it easier to develop, while those without one gradually decline, sometimes even vanish. The reason the Silver Tiger Clan had grown to over a thousand people was due to having a Great Witch in the past.
Since the passing of the previous Great Witch, the Silver Tiger Clan hadn’t had a Great Witch for thirty years. Originally, the clan’s population almost reached two thousand, growing remarkably.
But in the thirty years without a Great Witch, the tribe wasn’t spared from natural disasters and misfortunes during hunting, leaving only a little over a thousand survivors. The Silver Tiger Clan was indeed declining.
No one expected the Silver Tiger Clan to suddenly have two children with the Great Witch talent this time; it was indeed a delightful surprise!
The Silver Tiger Clan had only half confidence that Yan Ming might return to the tribe as a Great Witch after training, but they were entirely confident Shuangshuang would willingly return.
Yan Ming was only certain of his mother’s identity in the tribe; his father’s identity was unknown, and his mother wasn’t particularly close to Yan Ming.
Yan Ming’s mother wasn’t unkind, but life for beastmen was a constant struggle against nature, raising children roughly, considering staying alive as the greatest fortune.
Many tribe members neither had the thought nor the capacity to overly pamper children. Thus, once they left at a young age, their attachment to the tribe weakened.
Yet Shuangshuang was different; her parents were affectionate and both strong fighters. Hunting was easy, and one could say Shuangshuang’s family lived comfortably.
Hence, her parents could and were willing to pamper and care for Shuangshuang, with the Clan Leader and his wife also treating her exceptionally well, forming a close bond between her and the tribe.
With such emotional ties, the tribe members were certain that Shuangshuang was one hundred percent willing to stay and become the Great Witch, finally bringing a Great Witch back to the Silver Tiger Clan.
Everyone looked at Shuangshuang with gentle eyes, uncertain of when she awakened the Great Witch talent, but seeing her treat someone’s injuries at such a young age showed her talent was indeed strong.
While everyone was joyful, celebrating the tribe having another Great Witch and Da Shi being saved from death, only Shi Li and Saran were deeply worried.
No matter how gifted Shuangshuang was, she was still only a small child, and Da Shi’s severe injuries weren’t easy to heal.
Shi Li and Saran worried Shuangshuang couldn’t heal Da Shi or that she’d overexert herself using her power and hurt herself.
Afraid to hurt their daughter yet hoping she’d save Da Shi, caught in such conflicting emotions, their hearts were in their throats, unsure what to do.
Watching Shuangshuang seriously treating Da Shi’s injuries, they wanted to help but couldn’t, only able to stare intently at Shuangshuang and Da Shi, hoping the treatment would soon end.
Others were unaware of Saran and Shi Li’s worries, but for Shuangshuang, healing Da Shi wasn’t easy either. The Great Witch Power she gathered wasn’t abundant, primarily because she had just started cultivating her witch power, and the time was too short to amass sufficient strength.
