The next day, the early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the straw curtains and fell on Su Qianqian's face.

Su Qianqian rubbed her sleepy eyes, climbed up from the stone bed, turned her head and saw the particle ray gun next to the pillow. She felt a sense of security she had never felt before.

She picked up the small and light pistol and put it into the storage bag at her waist, then stood up, lifted the straw curtain and walked out. It was already bright outside.

She breathed in the fresh morning air and stretched comfortably.

When she looked up, she saw Ah Jiao, whom she had just met last night, running towards her hurriedly. Seeing her outside the cave, she waved to her excitedly, "Qian Qian, our tribe's witch doctor has returned from Myriad Beasts City. The tribe leader asked me to call you to the square to gather!"

The Witch Doctor is back?!

Su Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face: "I'm coming, I'm coming."

She hadn't seen what the witch doctor in this Beast World looked like yet, so she hoped that the witch doctor she pretended to be wouldn't be too different.

The two of them rushed to the tribal square together.

At this moment, the place was already full of orcs.

Everyone was looking eagerly at the person in the center of the square.

Su Qianqian also followed everyone's gaze and saw an old woman of the same age as the patriarch standing next to him. She was actually a female.

She was wrapped in thick animal skins, with deep wrinkles on her serious face, dark skin, high cheekbones, and sparse hair on her head, but it looked like it had been carefully groomed and combed neatly, unlike the other females in the tribe whose hair was messy and unkempt.

As if noticing her gaze, the witch doctor looked towards her with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

This scrutinizing gaze made Su Qianqian feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Little female, you're finally here." The tribe leader noticed her arrival and immediately smiled. "Come here quickly. Let me introduce you. This is our tribe's witch doctor, Yao Ye."

"Hello." Even though she felt uncomfortable being stared at by the other party, Su Qianqian still greeted him with a smile.

However, the other party just glanced at her reservedly and said "hmm" indifferently.

This cold attitude seemed to make the tribe leader, who had been enthusiastically introducing her, feel a little embarrassed. He hurriedly said, "Yao Ye, don't underestimate this little female. She has the same abilities as you. She knows herbs and can cure illnesses and save lives. Moreover, she knows a lot about the plants in the mountains. She can plant them and weave straw sandals..."

The patriarch talked a lot about what Su Qianqian had done after coming to the tribe.

However, the witch doctor's expression remained indifferent.

In the end, the clan leader was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak. He could only change the subject and said, "...By the way, Yao Ye, where are the supplies you brought back from Myriad Beasts City?"

Yao Ye then waved to the side, and two male orcs came over carrying two small bulging bags. When they opened them, they saw that they were full of white salt crystals.

Su Qianqian took a look and saw that there were not many salt crystals in the bag, but there were a lot of impurities. Moreover, these salt crystals were not pure white, but had a hint of yellow, as if they had been left for a long time and were mixed with fine mud and sand.

"It's all here." Yao Ye pointed at the salt crystals in the bag with his chin arrogantly.

"Just this little bit?" The tribe leader stared at the two bags of salt crystals in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Thousands of animal hides only gave us this little bit of sea crystal sand?"

Hearing him say this, Yao Ye immediately showed dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? The prices in Wanshou City are already high. It took me dozens of days to snatch this little bit of sea crystal sand."

"But the sea crystal sand we exchanged last year was obviously more than this time..." The chief looked at the two male orcs next to him with confusion.

The two orcs had obviously also gone to Myriad Beasts City. They both nodded grimly, "Chief, it's true that we only got this much... You know, this sea crystal sand is only found by the orcs living on the coast. In Myriad Beasts City, everyone was vying to trade it with them. We queued up day and night for dozens of days to get this little bit."

"Besides, those guys have bad tempers and are protected by the city lord. They won't give us the exchange if we make them unhappy in the slightest. The food we brought along the way is almost not enough..." One of the orcs complained in a low voice, obviously having suffered a lot of grievances in the City of Beasts.

The clan leader's expression finally relaxed. He sighed deeply and said apologetically, "Thank you for your hard work. Lang Yan will take you to get food later."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and asked everyone to line up to receive the sea crystal sand.

The sea crystal sand is different from the prey that was previously collected by females as a family unit. Each orc must be present to collect it in person, but the share each orc receives is different.

Su Qianqian stepped aside and silently watched everyone rushing up to line up impatiently.

In the beast world, sea crystal sand is an extremely rare commodity and is very valuable in any tribe.

Even though most adult male orcs can replenish the salt needed by their bodies by drinking blood, newly born cubs need to eat sea crystal sand directly.

Sea crystal sand is an essential survival material for every tribe.

Su Qianqian glanced at the happy and expectant expressions on the orcs' faces. Gillian had told her before that during the warm season every year, the tribe would send people to the City of Beasts to exchange for sea crystal sand, and then distribute it to every orc in the tribe.

Everyone has been looking forward to this moment for a long time. Even though the amount of sea crystal sand exchanged this year is not as much as in previous years, everyone is still very happy.

"Qianqian, come here quickly, the patriarch wants us females to receive the sea crystal sand first!" Gillian waved at her excitedly.

Su Qianqian, who originally wanted to go to the end of the team, stopped and had to go to the front of the team.

Everyone's eyes fell on her.

Su Qianqian inexplicably felt like cutting in line...

When the chief saw her, he generously gave her a large bag of sea crystal sand wrapped in leaves.

This amount is more than that of all the females around.

The tribe leader said cheerfully, "Little female, you have made a great contribution to our Gray Wolf Tribe. You deserve this sea crystal sand."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the sea crystal sand in her hand. There was no jealousy, only envy.

Except for Lan Di who was kneeling in the distance.

Her eyes were fixed on the sea crystal sand in Su Qianqian's hand, as if she wanted to stare a hole in her hand.

But this time, she didn't dare to say a word.

Her punishment was not over yet. If she spoke at this time and angered the chief, her share of sea crystal sand might be reduced.
