Guide To Train My Beast Husbands-Chapter 128: Is Black Snake Tribe Powerful?
Honestly, Ruan Chanchan had no idea what the old priestess wanted to talk about, but she still sat down next to her and waited for the old priestess to state her reasons. She must have called her here for some reason. Priestess Yuan didn’t seem like a person who would waste her time on useless stuff.
"I would like to apologise first," said Priestess Yuan as she pushed herself off the ground and walked over to the small hollowed-out hole in the corner of the cave and brought numerous animal hides with her. As she returned to her sitting spot, she placed the animal hides on the ground and unfurled them. "These animal hides have all the information on the dark shaman and their followers. I believe you must be curious about them with the rumours that are flying around in the tribe," said Priestess Yuan with a sigh. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"History of Dark Shaman?" Ruan Chanchan picked up a scroll doubtfully and carefully unfolded it. She saw many patterns drawn on it; there was no text written, but she could still understand the gist of the situation. Because the pictures on the scroll were actually moving!
She furrowed her brows, trying to see clearly what these patterns were trying to depict. After a good while, she found that her mind was extremely fatigued, and she felt tired.
"It’s fine if you cannot read all of it in one go." The priestess immediately stopped her.
"Phew..." Ruan Chanchan quickly released a breath and then started to roll up the animal hide. Only then did her mind feel a bit clearer.
Priestess Yuan smiled at her. "It must be hard to catch all the information in one go. You shouldn’t push yourself and come to see me every now and then to read the information on the dark shaman. It will help you understand the risks of the rumours that are circulating in the tribe."
Priestess Yuan didn’t want to cause trouble for no reason, but at the same time, she was truly upset with the elders. She wanted Ruan Chanchan to be aware of the dangers she was in at the moment and be prepared. Anyway, Ruan Chanchan was the one who could save this tribe. So if she left, then Priestess Yuan was determined to follow her. Those who were smart would understand her stance and follow her, along with Ruan Chanchan, willingly.
As for those who were foolish to the point of not understanding something so simple, she was not going to bother with them. If they were going to die, then let them die alone; she was not going to join in the fun.
She snorted before continuing, "I don’t think you are aware of the history of the dark shaman and his followers, correct? This is something that beastkind learn when they are children, but as you were a special case, we will learn it now."
Ruan Chanchan raised her hand and touched her nose with a sheepish expression. Well, she had to admit that she had no idea about the dark shaman and the good things that he had done.
"Okay, thank you for helping me out, Priestess Yuan." Ruan Chanchan knew that the old woman was doing it for her own good; thus, she listened to the lesson carefully. From what Priestess Yuan told her, the dark shaman was once an ordinary totem warrior, but he managed to cultivate his way to being half an immortal. Maybe the quick success got into his mind, but he actually dared to go against the Beast Goddess, only to be condemned and sent to the deepest pits of this world.
Since he wanted to climb his way to the top, the punishment that he received was to be tied to this world for all eternity.
It should have been the end of this matter, but unfortunately, the followers of the dark shaman were still trying to find a way to bring him back.
"And that’s why they need the totems of the beast warriors?" Ruan Chanchan asked.
"Oh, it seems like you have heard a little about the situation." Priestess Yuan was impressed by Ruan Chanchan and her eagerness to learn more. "You are right. I do not claim to know what kind of black magic they had gotten their hands on, but they still believe that as long as they collect enough totems, they will be able to bring the dark shaman to life." She paused and then drank the hot water that she had boiled earlier.
After drinking hot water, Priestess Yuan realised that her bowel movements had gotten much smoother. At least she no longer felt the subtle pain in her stomach. And after taking the medicines to clear the worms in her belly, Priestess Yuan was even happier. She felt more energetic, and her body seemed to have become even stronger.
She then continued, "Anyway, the elders of the tribe know that using the dark shaman to discredit you will certainly work because the man had caused more harm than good when he was alive. The fear that his name can induce is not little—nor is it a matter to take lightly." She shot a stern look at Ruan Chanchan, who pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. She knew that she was treating this matter way too casually, but that didn’t mean that she was being careless!
Or was she?
Maybe you are in the eyes of others, darling~
Ruan Chanchan: "..."
"I will try to pay more attention to this," said Ruan Chanchan with a sigh, and Priestess Yuan smiled.
She said, "I know that you are feeling a bit stifled and anyone with a proper head on his or her shoulders can also feel and understand it." Her smile dimmed, and she sighed heavily. "I wonder what the elders are thinking. They should be worried about getting our ancestral land from the Black Snake Tribe, and here they are causing trouble for a little totem warrior like you."
This was the first time Ruan Chanchan had heard someone speak about the ancestral land and couldn’t help but question, "Is the Black Snake Tribe really powerful?"
