Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable
Chapter 1439 - 1287: Ancient Beast World 44
With the addition of the Mammoth Tribe led by Wu Hai, the gap in numbers between the Silver Tiger Clan and the Mammoth Tribe began to widen. In this situation, any malice from the Mammoth Tribe would be a major crisis for the Silver Tiger Clan.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Mammoth Tribe’s nature is universally recognized as good in this world, and they have never had a bad reputation.
Plus, during this time, Shuangshuang has been spending time with the Mammoth Tribe, confirming that their temperament is indeed as rumored. Only then did they boldly accept so many Mammoth Tribe members.
Otherwise, even if Shuangshuang believed in her own strength to suppress them, she would never risk introducing so many Mammoth Tribe members.
As the Silver Tiger Clan and Mammoth Tribe merged together, they could no longer be referred to as a single tribe. Shuangshuang, Wu Yan, the newly joined Wu Hai, and Yan Ming discussed it together.
Then, they combined the three tribes into one family, officially renaming the Silver Tiger Clan to Hope City. From now on, everyone would be residents of Hope City, with Dou Yan as the City Lord and Li Yi as the Deputy City Lord.
The Clan Leader of the Mammoth Tribe where Wu Hai belonged had just passed away due to illness and no new leader had been chosen yet; otherwise, they could have appointed two Deputy City Lords.
Of course, to show fairness, in ten years, Dou Yan would step down as City Lord, and Li Yi would take over the position, then selecting two new Deputy City Lords from the Silver Tiger Clan and Mammoth Tribe.
As for Shuangshuang, Yan Ming, Wu Yan, and Wu Hai, the four Great Witches would serve as elders of Hope City.
Shuangshuang, being the most popular among the beastmen and possessing the most skills as a Great Witch, undeniably became the Great Elder of Hope City. She earned this status through combat prowess, various abilities, and sheer popularity, beyond dispute.
The remaining three, Wu Yan, Wu Hai, and Yan Ming, are all Great Witches, each possessing crucial skills with no way to rate them as higher or lower.
After careful consideration, Shuangshuang decided to rank the three according to age: Wu Yan as Second Elder, Wu Hai as Third Elder, and Yan Ming, being the youngest, as Fourth Elder.
Wu Hai’s Great Witch skills are like Wu Yan’s, also focused on combat. As brothers, their Great Witch talents are the same.
No wonder the two brothers became elders of different Mammoth Tribes; sharing the same talent within one Mammoth Tribe would truly be a waste.
Moreover, Wu Hai’s talent is actually stronger than Wu Yan’s because he can enhance the fighting power of beastmen over a large area using witch power during battles.
And this enhancement comes without any side effects, which is why Wu Hai ended up as the Great Witch of a larger Mammoth Tribe.
Now in Hope City, after meeting Shuangshuang, Yan Ming, Wu Yan, and Wu Hai, the beastmen no longer call the four individuals Great Witches but instead refer to them as Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder.
Speaking of which, the population of Hope City is approaching the threshold of a hundred thousand. Upon reaching a hundred thousand, it can be considered a Super Tribe, with even four Great Witches among them.
Although it still cannot match the long-established Super Tribes in terms of the number of Great Witches, Hope City is not doing poorly, as any of the four, taken individually, could overwhelm many equal-level Great Witches.
Coupled with the strong combat ability of the Mammoth Tribe and the increasingly powerful fighting force of the Silver Tiger Clan beastmen, Hope City has become something other Super Tribes cannot afford to provoke.
Yet beastmen live in isolation, with most of their information exchanged during tribal gatherings, and so the thriving construction of Hope City remains unknown to the outside world.
While Hope City’s construction is in full swing, Shuangshuang, an important manager, pairs up with Yan Ming to appear at a seaside location that takes half a month to reach.
The reason Shuangshuang took time off her hectic schedule in Hope City to come here with Yan Ming is due to a divination by Yan Ming.
At that time, Shuangshuang found a huge coal mine and, luckily, discovered an iron mine too. Excited, she immediately started to research iron crafting.
Iron tools are far more practical than the very clumsy stone tools, and after much effort, Shuangshuang finally created various iron crafting tools, producing a large batch of farm tools and kitchen knives, shovels, and other items.
After solving the iron tool issue, Shuangshuang remembered a matter she had put off - creating coins.
Initially, Shuangshuang planned to make coins out of iron, but she worried that people in this world wouldn’t understand legal standards and she intended to promote the use of iron tools.
This meant she wanted many to learn iron crafting and smelting, but once people started forging coins secretly, Hope City’s current busy situation would make it difficult to catch them.
The best solution is to produce coins that beastmen cannot counterfeit, which involves only two approaches.
One approach is technical, creating coins difficult for normal beastmen to surpass or mimic, but achieving this is presently too challenging.
This leaves using materials to compensate, crafting coins from materials difficult for beastmen to acquire, making it impossible to duplicate or forge them.
But Shuangshuang has no leads on this hard-to-mimic material at the moment. To solve this issue quickly, she specially gathered Wu Yan, Wu Hai, and Yan Ming to discuss coin creation.
Wu Yan and Wu Hai are experts at fighting, letting them wage war is no problem, but pondering over this matter left them stumped for a long time, finally suggesting one material: the ivory from the Mammoth Tribe when transformed into beast form.
Shuangshuang immediately dismissed this unreliable idea from Wu Yan and Wu Hai; the circulation volume of coins is enormous, and even if the Mammoth Tribe were exterminated, it wouldn’t suffice for the ivory.
In a key moment, Yan Ming proved dependable; he directly bathed, then donned the most intricate witch clothes to contact heaven and earth to divinate for Shuangshuang. Based on the divination signs, solving the coin issue required heading to the seaside.
So now Shuangshuang and Yan Ming, due to Yan Ming’s divination, find themselves standing by the seaside, staring at each other, utterly unaware of what to do next.
The vast sea stretches endlessly, its waves magnificent under the sunlight, crashing loudly along the shore, rendering the seaside experience spectacular.
Various sea products washed ashore by the tide are abundant, completely unpolluted and the water crystal clear, its beauty truly mesmerizing.
Yet Shuangshuang still mentally fixated on Hope City’s affairs, couldn’t appreciate the scenery sincerely, with only anxiety left in her heart upon viewing this beauty.
She looks at the confused Yan Ming, rubs her forehead, and sighs deeply: "Although I know your divination is accurate, can it be less vague?
How long do we have to stay here? Or do we need to go somewhere specific? Can you divinate an exact location?"
