C118 The Saint Scorpion Tribe
Su Jin's heart skipped a beat. On the map, the location of the treasure chest was called the Holy Scorpion Tribe. He smiled and said, "Alright. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go there. You guys can lead the way."
The group of people were overjoyed. A few young men took out ropes from their bodies and trapped the iron-bearded Elephant-Boar's corpse firmly. Then, they dragged the corpse of the Elephant-Boar to the tribe.
Ah Tung was in front of them and was enthusiastically chatting with Su Jin.
From his conversation with Ah Tung, Su Jin was able to infer from his mouth that the Holy Scorpion Tribe was only a small tribe in the Hundred Thousand Mountain and only had a population of close to ten thousand people.
In the Hundred Thousand Mountain, small tribes like the Holy Scorpion Tribe had the most number of people. A slightly bigger tribe had a population of one hundred thousand, and a bigger medium-sized tribe had a population of several hundred thousand and one million. Such a tribe was extremely powerful.
The largest tribe was a large tribe like the Heavenly Light Tribe. It had a population of ten million people.
Such a large tribe was strong enough to fight against the imperial family. In the entire Hundred Thousand Mountain, there were only five large tribes.
"I don't know which tribe you are from, sir. If you dare to walk alone in the Hundred Thousand Mountain, you must be an elite of a large tribe."
Ah Tung asked curiously. Someone as young and powerful as Su Jin was definitely not from a small tribe like the Holy Scorpion Tribe. He must be from a medium sized tribe.
Su Jin shook his head and looked deeply melancholy. "I am just a vagrant. I am not from a big tribe."
Seeing this, Ah Tung and the others did not ask any more questions. They were just more curious about Su Jin's background.
Who knew that the show-off in front of them was just putting on an act? If he asked any more questions, Su Jin would have already prepared a bunch of fake identities and would naturally tell them.
The Holy Scorpion Tribe was surrounded by tall peaks, but in the middle was a flat terrain that was very suitable for living. The entrance was a narrow natural karst cave, guarded by a large number of tribe warriors.
When Ah Tung and the others brought Su Jin and the Iron Beard Elephant-Boar back to the Holy Scorpion Tribe, they immediately received a warm welcome from the people of the Holy Scorpion Tribe. Especially after learning that Su Jin had saved Ah Tung and killed the Iron Beard Elephant-Boar with his own hands. The people of the Holy Scorpion Tribe were even more respectful towards Su Jin.
Su Jin was surrounded by the crowd as they entered the Holy Scorpion Tribe. Along the way, he found that there were many old, weak, and disabled people. On the contrary, the ratio of young and strong men was lower, and there were also many disabled young and strong men by the roadside.
Su Jin felt strange in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He searched for the treasure chest, and immediately saw the location of the treasure chest. It was located in the center of the Holy Scorpion Tribe, in a tall, conical stone house.
"Sir, we will go and see the priest and the chief first. Please wait for a moment."
Ah Tung took off the tusks of the Iron Beard Elephant-Boar and quickly walked into the conical stone house.
Su Jin's heart skipped a beat. He immediately understood that the conical stone house was where the priest lived.
He raised his eyebrows. The Holy Scorpion Tribe respected the priest so much. If the treasure chest appeared here, it would not be so easy to get it.
"Esteemed guest, the kindness of saving Ah Tung and the others will forever be remembered in the Holy Scorpion Tribe's heart."
Not long later, the chief of the Holy Scorpion Tribe walked out of the priest's residence. He was a robust middle-aged man at the peak of Martial Mentor Stage. He had a tall figure, dark skin, and stubble all over his face. He had a fierce aura. He was very polite to Su Jin. "The priest is going to meet you in person."
Su Jin felt that the chief was a little cautious of him. He said quietly, "It is my honor to meet the priest of your tribe."
Entering the stone house, a yellow-clothed old man with a yellow face was lying on a wooden chair. His eyes were deep, and he had the temperament of a wise man.
This man was obviously the priest of Holy Scorpion Tribe. Su Jin could feel a deep and powerful Qi in his body. It was the Qi of a Martial Spirit Stage.
However, although his realm was high, this priest had aged beyond recognition, and his Qi was weak.
"Esteemed guest, forgive me for not being able to stand up, but please forgive me for not being able to greet you properly."
The yellow-clothed priest forced a friendly smile on his face, and said in a hoarse voice.
Su Jin glanced at him, but did not return the greeting. He only faintly spat out a few words, "Six-Winged Spider King Poison!"
The yellow-robed priest was startled when he heard this.
Everyone's faces changed dramatically.1
Holy Scorpion Tribal Chief stared at Su Jin with a vigilant look. "Customer, how did you know that the poison in the priest is the Six-Winged Spider King Poison? We did not announce this matter to the public!"
As soon as Holy Scorpion Tribal Chief finished speaking, a few warriors behind him had already surrounded Su Jin. Their eyes were filled with hostility.
"Wait. Father, he is our benefactor!"
Ah Tung's face darkened as he spoke.
It turned out that Ah Tung and Holy Scorpion Tribal Chief were father and son.
Holy Scorpion Tribal Chief's eyes were gloomy. "Don't talk too much. The priest was poisoned by someone, that's why he has become like this. We haven't been able to find out who the murderer is. At the critical moment when the Ancestral God Sacrificial Rite is about to be held... This stranger saved all of you and got close to our Holy Scorpion Tribe. This is something worth suspecting! "
"This is the first time this lord has appeared. How can he be a bad person? You can't treat my benefactor like this!"
Ah Tung said angrily.
Holy Scorpion Tribal Chief said coldly, "How can you explain that? He could say that the priest was poisoned by the Six-Winged Spider King. And his strength is only at the seventh level of the Martial Mentor Stage. But he was able to kill an Eighth Level Martial Mentor Stage Iron Beard Elephant-Boar. Do you think this is normal? "
Su Jin finally understood why Holy Scorpion Tribal Chief was so wary of him from the very beginning. It turned out that killing the Iron Beard Elephant-Boar had aroused his suspicion.
" All of you, stop. "
At this moment, the hoarse voice of the yellow-robed priest sounded.
Immediately, the expressions of Holy Scorpion Tribal Chief, Ah Tung, and the others turned solemn, and they hurriedly shut their mouths.
"My apologies, distinguished guest. Our people misunderstood you and caused you inconvenience. I hope you don't mind."
The yellow-clothed priest said in a slow voice.
Ah Tung's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The chief's eyes darkened. He didn't understand why the priest had said this, but he still looked at Su Jin with suspicion.
Su Jin smiled faintly. "It's fine. My performance was suspicious. I don't blame the chief for misunderstanding."
The priest in yellow smiled and said, "If this old man did not guess wrong, the honored guest should be a witch doctor. That's why he could tell what poison this old man was poisoned with."
Witch doctor?
Everyone's expressions froze.
Their gazes fell on Su Jin in unison.
There was such a young witch doctor in the world?
Impossible, Holy Scorpion Tribal Chief's eyes were filled with disbelief.
However, Su Jin nodded and said casually, "That's right, I am a wandering witch doctor."
"Master is a wandering witch doctor."
"No wonder you can wander in Hundred Thousand Mountain alone. Witch doctors are respected everywhere, especially wandering ones."
Everyone looked at Su Jin with more respect. Only Holy Scorpion Tribal Chief and others still had some doubts, but when they saw the priest say so, they just kept silent.
