Chapter 65: Really Want to Interject, But Haven’t Had the Chance
While the Beast-eared Girls were waiting in the trenches, they suddenly heard terrifying screams coming from the forest. It sounded like the final cries of beasts before death, making the fur on the Beast-eared Girls’ bodies stand on end. Then, the screams abruptly stopped. However, it was only a pause of a few seconds. Before the Beast-eared Girls could recover, more screams, one after another, erupted from the forest. It seemed as if the Pig-headed Men had encountered something terrifying in the forest. The Beast-eared Girls in the trench exchanged glances. At first, they didn’t understand why such sounds were coming from the forest. But Shi’s words made the Beast-eared Girls’ eyes light up. “Could these screams be because the Pig-headed Men ran into the traps that Ye set with witchcraft yesterday?” After hearing this, the other Beast-eared Girls remembered the traps Ye had set with witchcraft the previous day. They nodded and said, “Yes, it must be that the Pig-headed Men ran into the traps Ye set with witchcraft.” “The Pig-headed Men are screaming so horribly. Ye’s traps are amazing.” “Hmph, the more the Pig-headed Men scream, the better. It’s best if they are all killed by the traps.” “Yes, it’s best if they all die.” “Hey, listen, what happened to the screams?” The Beast-eared Girls listened, and the screams that had been coming one after another suddenly disappeared. This was because the Pig-headed Men had stopped, no longer daring to advance. The Beast-eared Girls peeked out from the trenches, looking towards the forest. But at this moment, the Pig-headed Men were still a long distance from the tribe. Their vision was blocked by the trees, and the Beast-eared Girls saw nothing. “Could it be that Ye’s traps have killed all the Pig-headed Men?” “No way, I still want to kill a few more Pig-headed Men with my bow and arrow.” “Ye’s traps are so amazing, they suddenly spring up from the ground. I almost got hurt back then.” “I saw it too. Ye almost got injured at that time.” The Beast-eared Girls sat at the edge of the trench, chatting amongst themselves. At this time, Lin Ye, carrying a bucket of water diluted from three bottles of Junior Stamina Recovery Potions, arrived at the trench. Seeing Lin Ye approach, the Beast-eared Girls all looked at him excitedly. “Ye, when will the Pig-headed Men come over?” “Ye, there were several terrifying screams from the forest just now. Did the Pig-headed Men step on the traps you made?” “Ye, have all the Pig-headed Men been killed by your manufactured traps? I still want to shoot them with my bow and arrow.” “That’s right, Ye, when will the Pig-headed Men come over? We really want to shoot something.” Seeing that the Beast-eared Girls actually thought all the Pig-headed Men had been killed by his traps, Lin Ye couldn’t help but laugh. Lin Ye smiled and shook his head, then said to the Beast-eared Girls, “I just saw over a hundred Pig-headed Men in the forest. The chieftain and the witch of the Pig-headed Tribe have both come. The traps only killed a dozen or so. The Pig-headed Men are just scared and don’t dare to move forward now. The Pig-headed Men should continue advancing in a while. Their chieftain seems very angry. Before even seeing us, a dozen of their tribe members have already died.” When the Beast-eared Girls heard that there were over a hundred Pig-headed Men, their reaction wasn’t fear, but excitement mixed with anticipation. Upon hearing that they were scared and didn’t dare to advance due to Lin Ye’s traps, they all looked at Lin Ye with admiration. Lin Ye smiled and shook his head. Currently, the Pig-headed Men had encountered less than a tenth of the traps Lin Ye had set. If the Pig-headed Tribe couldn’t find a solution, they would have to sacrifice lives. The further they advanced, the greater the casualties of the Pig-headed Men would be. The greater the casualties, the less retreat the Pig-headed Men would have. If the Pig-headed Men suffered heavy casualties today without any gains, their tribe would be in danger of extinction. Without the addition of new blood, the Pig-headed Tribe would eventually dwindle and disappear due to a declining population, even if they weren’t devoured by other tribes. At this moment, Sakura, seeing the wooden bucket Lin Ye was holding, curiously asked, “Ye, what’s in the bucket? Is it delicious food?” Hearing Sakura’s words, Lin Ye was defeated by her lack of awareness. It was almost time for battle, yet Sakura was still thinking about food. She’s truly a little glutton! Lin Ye shook his head and said, “It’s not food. This is water I specially prepared for you. Everyone drink a cup. You were all tired yesterday, and you didn’t sleep much. Although you’re all excited now, your bodies are very tired. You’ll feel better after drinking this.” Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the Beast-eared Girls all looked curiously at the wooden bucket in Lin Ye’s hand. Lin Ye carried the bucket and used wooden cups to give each of the Beast-eared Girls a cup of water from the bucket. After drinking the water, all the Beast-eared Girls felt the magic of the diluted potions. After drinking, they all looked at Lin Ye’s wooden bucket in shock. They felt an unprecedented lightness in their bodies. The fatigue from yesterday’s hard work and lack of sleep vanished with a sip of the water Lin Ye offered. Those who hadn’t drunk it yet saw that after others drank it, their entire state was completely different from before. So they all began to eagerly await Lin Ye bringing the water to them. By the time all the Beast-eared Girls had drunk, there was little water left in the bucket. The Beast-eared Girls looked at Lin Ye with immense shock. Although the water in the bucket tasted identical to the filtered water they had before, after drinking it, they could clearly feel the energy contained within the water. The Beast-eared Girls couldn’t help but ask Lin Ye again, “Ye, what kind of water is this? It’s so magical…” “Ye, is this water you made with witchcraft?” “Ye, this water is amazing. After drinking it, I feel so refreshed everywhere.” “This must be witchcraft. I’ve never felt this way before when drinking water from buckets.” Seeing that all the Beast-eared Girls believed this water was created by Lin Ye using witchcraft, Lin Ye couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly. However, since Lin Ye couldn’t explain, he could only tacitly accept the Beast-eared Girls’ words. As the Beast-eared Girls continued to question him, Lin Ye could only nod at them. Seeing Lin Ye admit that it was water made with witchcraft, they couldn’t help but cheer. “Ye, can you become the tribe’s Witch then?” “Yes, Ye, you are already more powerful than the witches of other tribes. Can you become the tribe’s Witch?” “That’s right, if Ye becomes the tribe’s Witch, he can name the tribe.” Seeing that Lin Ye had created such magical water with witchcraft, the Beast-eared Girls eagerly asked if Lin Ye could become the tribe’s Witch. Looking at the expectant eyes of the Beast-eared Girls, although he felt a little reluctant, Lin Ye still shook his head. Seeing that Lin Ye still disagreed to become the tribe’s Witch, the Beast-eared Girls lowered their heads in disappointment. However, Lin Ye’s next words made the Beast-eared Girls’ hopes reignite. “After we defeat the Pig-headed Men today, and I meet the Witch of the Pig-headed Tribe, if what I know is really witchcraft, I promise you, I will definitely become the tribe’s Witch.” The Beast-eared Girls, who had been dejected a moment before, immediately broke into happy smiles upon hearing Lin Ye’s words. Seeing the happy Beast-eared Girls, Lin Ye also smiled, infected by their joy. After drinking the water, the Beast-eared Girls became more energetic. They sat on the edge of the trench, looking towards the forest ahead, chatting amongst themselves. Susu and the twin Raccoon-eared Girls had already started discussing who would serve the Witch after Lin Ye became one. Moreover, more and more people joined the discussion. Finally, all the Beast-eared Girls were competing for the right to serve Lin Ye. Listening to the Beast-eared Girls’ discussion, Lin Ye realized for the first time that a Witch had dedicated attendants. Gradually, their discussion turned into an argument. Susu stood with her hands on her hips, her face flushed, seeming very concerned about the right to serve Lin Ye. The most pitiful was Sakura, who also wanted to compete for a spot to serve Lin Ye. But she was immediately rejected by everyone. They felt that Sakura couldn’t even take care of herself, so how could she take care of Lin Ye? In an instant, everyone was chattering, and their previous nervousness had been significantly dispelled by the unexpected effectiveness of Lin Ye’s traps. Lin Ye stood aside, really wanting to interject and tell the Beast-eared Girls that he might not necessarily become a Witch. However, seeing the Beast-eared Girls arguing so heatedly, Lin Ye never had a chance to interject.
