Why Did They Keep Running into Old Monsters?

Chapter 263 He fooled me, the Universe in Sleeve

Sitting beside the Ancestral Witch Jumang, the Ancestral Witches Zhurong and Qiangliang patted his shoulder and sighed softly, as if comforting him, leaving Wu Chu somewhat puzzled. Were they impressed by his act and therefore feeling inferior?

Jumang usually transforms into a shepherd boy, riding an ox and playing a flute.

However, he didn't do that in this Witch Tribe, probably because he was worried that his glorious image would be tarnished in front of these younger Witch Clan!

Wu Chu didn't know was that despite the fact that these Ancestral Witch appeared very wealthy and were offering such high-quality Witch Artifact as prizes, it was as if Witch Artifact were worthless.

But in reality, this is entirely because, as Ancestral Witch, their low-quality Witch Artifact are simply not presentable!

Jumang probably didn't have a suitable High-Grade Witch Artifact, so he had to endure the pain and take out a Supreme-Grade Witch Artifact as a substitute.

Even for these Ancestral Witch, Supreme-Grade Witch Artifact are extremely rare.

Jumang was able to offer something as a prize, whether he was faking it or not, it was still admirable. At least Wu Chu felt that he didn't have Ju Mang's boldness.

Just to save face and show off, they pull out a Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure. How foolish!

But Jumang, the Wood Ancestral Witch, did just that.

All I can say is: As expected of the Ancestral Witch! They are just that extravagant!

After the Ancestral Witch brought out their prizes, they all looked at Wu Chu, as if to ask, "Brother A Chu, what's the meaning of your empty hands? Can't you at least bring something to show for it? Even some gourmet food or spirit wine would be nice!"

So, to the anticipation of the Ancestral Witch, Wu Chu took out a Great Bow and said, "As you know, I am not skilled in crafting the Witch Artifact you use, so this Great Bow was actually largely completed by Sister Houtu."

This is understandable, since the Spirit Treasure used by Wu Chu and his group are fundamentally different from the Witch Artifact used by the Witch Clan Warrior.

The materials may be similar, but the driving force behind them is different. Magical Spirit Treasure are activated by magical power, while magical Witch Artifact are activated by the power of one's own blood and qi.

Therefore, the restrictions on Witch Artifact are different from those on Spirit Treasure.

As for Wu Chu, he could also use Witch Artifact, because after he cultivated the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique, his powerful blood and qi were already quite formidable.

"Originally, I intended to give this Great Bow directly to Yi, but since his recent performance has somewhat displeased Sister Houtu, I've decided to make it the prize for this Hunting Tournament. If he doesn't manage to win first place, he can't blame me."

This is also a High-Grade Witch Artifact. Wu Chu didn't know when Yi would be able to obtain the legendary divine artifact, the Sun-Shooting Bow, so he prepared one. However, it could actually be said that it was crafted by Houtu; he only provided the rough materials.

This was prepared a long time ago. Wu Chu originally intended to give it to Yi when the opportunity arose, and never thought of using it as a prize for the competition. This was just a coincidence.

If Houtu knew this, she would surely applaud.

When they presented these high-quality or top-grade Witch Artifact as rewards and announced them to the eager tribal warriors, everyone erupted in excitement.

Especially when he saw that one of the prizes was a Supreme-Grade Witch Artifact, Kua immediately exclaimed, "No way, I have to participate too! Otherwise, it's not fair to me!"

These are Supreme-Grade Witch Artifact! You can imagine how thrilled these warriors were.

If a Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure were placed in front of Wu Chu would be tempted by it.

Speaking of which, aside from the Yibao, a Merit Supreme Treasure, the only Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure he possesses is the black-gray battle armor that Qingqiu Li crafted for him. Oh, right, and the Black Coffin he placed in the White Bone Cave of Myriad Crows Mountain.

This shows just how attractive Supreme-Grade Witch Artifact are to everyone.

When Houtu appeared and heard this, she glanced at Jumang and immediately refused, saying, "Third brother, this is far too precious..."

Since the item had already been brought out to show off, it wouldn't be appropriate to take it back. So Jumang waved her hand, looking nonchalant, and said, "It's just an object. If it can find a true master to unleash its power, it will be a good thing for both the object and our Witch Clan. Sister, there's no need to say anything more."

Tsk! He got fooled again!

Wu Chu had to admit that at this time, Jumang was loved by all the shamans of the Houtu Tribe, who cheered for him and gave him a unified roar as a tribute.

Houtu sat down next to Wu Chu. Seeing her frowning, Wu Chu transmitted his voice to her, "We can send a return gift next time. It's not appropriate to let them take it back now; it will dampen everyone's enthusiasm."

Houtu nodded upon hearing this, "That's the only way."

Ultimately, Kua was given the opportunity to rejoin the competition. After all, it would have been somewhat unreasonable to prevent him from participating at this point, and everyone felt that his victory would have been unfair.

It must be said that these witches are quite simple-minded.

While Wu Chu was enjoying delicious food with the Ancestral Witch in the Houtu Tribe and watching the Witch Clan Warrior compete in various Divine Ability Tournament, far away in the Northern Border, Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi encountered a powerful enemy.

This formidable enemy caused them immense suffering; even the three of them combined were no match for him.

The cause of the incident is as absurd as the story of "a bloody incident caused by a steamed bun." The reason was that the greedy Hong Yun casually hunted and killed a small lark, asking Qingqiu Li to grill chicken wings for him. However, as soon as the chicken wings were cooked, an old Daoist priest snatched them away. The old priest claimed that the lark belonged to him, and since Qingqiu Li had grilled it so deliciously, he wouldn't pursue the matter of killing his pet, but the grilled lark had to be returned to its owner.

How can we tolerate such blatant robbery?

Even Hong Yun, a usually easy-going and kind-hearted person, thought the old man was incredibly tasteless. If he had spoken politely, everyone could have shared the food, but to immediately accuse them of being bird thieves and then so brazenly take their food—how could they tolerate that?

Moreover, wouldn't it be incredibly shameful for three dignified Daluo Realm experts to be 'robbed' like this if word got out?

Therefore, Qingqiu Li was the first to act without hesitation.

Seeing this, Hong Yun wanted to mediate, but found that Qingqiu Li was no match for the Long-Brow Old Daoist. Her Illusion Dao seemed to have no effect on him.

Gradually, Zhen Yuanzi also joined the battle, wielding the Spirit Treasure Earth Book.

In the end, even Hong Yun intervened.

However, even with the combined efforts of these three Daluo Realm experts, they were still unable to defeat their opponent.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Long-Brow Old Daoist instantly encompassed the heavens and earth, as if he wanted to contain the Qiankun within it, which frightened Qingqiu Li so much that she retreated in a flash.
