In the valley behind them were the Worm Witch and his retinue of Scorpion Beastman Warriors—the very ones who had been hunting the Black Wolf Witch a few days earlier.

At this moment, the Worm Witch held the corpse of a black-and-red Poisonous Insect in his hand. His pale, ashen face drew close to the insect as he took a deep breath, his expression filling with a morbid excitement and nostalgia. "What a familiar scent."

The familiar witch power energy from that young female reminded him of someone who had vanished long ago.

That person had been his little things’ favorite food, a priceless delicacy. Only after his little things completed a major operation would they be rewarded with that person’s blood.

But...

The excitement and nostalgia on his face slowly faded, replaced by a savage look.

While he was personally leading an attack on a medium-sized tribe, that person had actually managed to escape!

’She didn’t have to go out to gather or hunt. All she had to do was give a little blood each day to feed my little things. What more could she have been unsatisfied with?’

And now, it was truly a blessing from the Beast God. He had actually encountered another female with such witch power energy.

It seemed his little darlings would be able to grow again, and his own Witch Power Level hadn’t risen in a long time.

His gloomy eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his lips twisting into a sinister smile. "I’m so looking forward to it, GAK GAK GAK..."

"Witch, the Black Wolf Witch has already set out for the Black Wolf Tribe. He has a large escort of Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warriors."

As the Worm Witch’s withered fingers caressed the Poisonous Insect in his hand, a burly Beastman Warrior walked in from outside. The Beastman’s hair appeared black at first glance, but a closer look revealed faint red highlights.

Hearing this, the Worm Witch slowly rose from the ground. "Then let’s set out and follow them. We came all this way, we have to kill at least one of them. Our business in the Flying Eagle Tribe was discovered, so that plan is a bust."

The Beastman Warrior frowned. "But Witch, there are quite a few Snow Tiger Tribe warriors escorting them this time."

The Worm Witch gave a cold smirk. "Before me, what difference does the number of Beastmen make?"

With that, he commanded coldly, "Move out."

Stared at by those chilling eyes, the Beastman Warrior felt a fine layer of cold sweat break out all over his body. He quickly nodded and followed him out respectfully, with the rest of the Beastman Warriors hurrying to keep up.

Meanwhile, Yuan Lang and his group had found a place to rest. The Beastman Warriors returned from a hunt with two beasts, and everyone began to portion out the food for lunch.

Yuan Lang, holding a bamboo tube, approached the Black Wolf Witch. "This is the powder Yue gave me. It can repel those black-and-red Poisonous Insects. If every Beastman Warrior sprinkles some on themselves, the insects won’t dare to come near us."

The Black Wolf Witch, who had just finished eating, had his eyes light up. He reached out to take the bamboo tube, but Yuan Lang dodged him. "I’ll do it. This powder is very precious; we can’t waste a single grain."

The Black Wolf Witch sheepishly withdrew his eager claws and shot Yuan Lang an irritated glare. ’This kid isn’t cute at all.’

He then held out his arm. "Well, sprinkle some on me first. This old man is probably their target this time."

Yuan Lang nodded. "I thought so too. That’s why I came to you first."

The Black Wolf Witch was at a loss for words. ’Seriously, what’s the point of a kid like this? What a waste of a handsome face.’

Grumbling aside, his gaze remained fixed on the bamboo tube in Yuan Lang’s hand. He watched as Yuan Lang carefully uncorked the tube and sprinkled some of the black-and-red powder onto his body.

Even more amazing, the powder gave off a pleasant, herbal scent.

And the moment the powder was sprinkled on him, the tiny insects that had been buzzing around him instantly vanished.

The Black Wolf Witch’s eyes grew even brighter. ’This stuff really is amazing!’

He eagerly stood up and started leading the way. "Come, come, I’ll take you to them. The brats from my tribe aren’t the most reasonable bunch. We can’t let any of this precious powder go to waste."

The "not-so-reasonable" Black Wolf Tribe Beastman Warriors: "..."

*AWOOOO?*

’Where else would you find such peace-loving wolves! Since when are we not reasonable?’

The sneaky Black Wolf Witch followed behind Yuan Lang, pinching a little here and scraping a bit there, managing to collect a small, fingernail-sized pile of the powder.

The black-and-red powder stood out starkly against the vibrant green leaf.

The Black Wolf Witch gazed gleefully at the precious powder in his hand, but as he looked at its color, a sliver of doubt appeared. "Why does this color look so similar to that Poisonous Insect from last time?"
