The chief strode up to the altar.

The males, adorned with totem patterns, began to dance as ancient, primitive music filled the air, and they moved to the rhythm.

The chief walked from the center to the front of everyone, palms down.

The noise vanished instantly, leaving only strange music echoing in the square.

Sheng Xia blinked her almond-shaped eyes, curiously watching the males still dancing on the stage. This time, it seemed different from the ones she had seen before.

It's somewhat like imitating the hunting postures of birds and other animals, hunting in time with the music—it's incongruous yet strangely harmonious.

She murmured to herself.

"What an amazing dance!" It was both amazing and awe-inspiring to the beast.

"This is a blessing dance, a dance performed only in large-scale sacrificial ceremonies. It's different from the usual kind. Doesn't it look like various animals?" Tie Bai explained in detail.

Aoki smiled brightly and then added a sentence.

"I know this. It's to pray to the Beast God so that everyone can gain powerful hunting abilities from various wild beasts and no longer go hungry."

But why are we dancing this dance today?

But he soon understood.

The chieftain then declared loudly, "We have overcome countless hardships along the way, and it is thanks to the help of the witch doctor Xia that Yafatu has become so powerful today!"

“This time, the witch doctor Xia didn’t hesitate to teach the tribe how to make quicklime. I’m very touched, but being touched can’t put food on the table! We need a reward!”

The room erupted in laughter.

Everyone was joking around in good fun.

"Yes, it can't be eaten as a meal!"

"Eating is the most important thing!"

"We need to give Doctor Xia food!"

“…”

The scene was quite lively.

"Protect Yafatu! Protect Xia Wuyi!" From within the herd, a resolute-looking male raised his hands and solemnly shouted.

It's like water being poured into a pot of oil; everything boils over.

Join in the shouting.

Among them, the soprano from Orange Fruit overshadowed all the males.

"Protect the Summer Witch Doctor!"

Feeling the intense gazes around her, Shengxia nestled in Wolf King's arms, burying her face in his chest, her toes digging awkwardly into the ground.

It gives me a strange feeling of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

Judging from the chief's composed demeanor on the altar, Sheng Xia reasonably suspected that the male who shouted at the beginning was a plant he had hired.

They're so good at creating atmosphere.

Like an ostrich, she hid in Wolf King's arms for a long time in the height of summer. For as long as she hid, Aoki stroked the top of her head with affection.

So much so that her freshly washed hair was oily...

Touching her hair, Shengxia gave Qingmu a reproachful yet coquettish look: "Big Lion~ Your hair is greasy..."

If she remembers correctly, she'll be going on stage later.

They stayed on stage for more than just a short while...

It would take a long time to add the animal hide scrolls. Was she going to die in front of so many orcs?

No!

"It's alright, Xiaxia, come a little closer." Tie Bai raised his hand, his light pink eyes smiling as he looked at Sheng Xia.

Shengxia, unaware of what was going on, stretched her neck forward and lowered her head out of trust for her partner.

The next second, I felt a lightness on my scalp.

A faint fragrance wafted from the top of her hair. Shengxia looked up in surprise, turned her head to touch the top of her hair, and found it soft and smooth, like it had just been washed and blow-dried.

That's amazing.

"Ah Bai, how did you do that?"

She didn't even feel her hair getting wet; it was miraculously clean in less than a minute.

Tie Bai raised an eyebrow. "The ability has been upgraded. It now has cleaning capabilities, but no offensive power. It's not practical."

He guessed that the ability to upgrade in this direction was due to the frequent bathing of the three little ones, which led to the development of their cleaning abilities.

Thinking of this, he casually lowered his head and glanced at the top of Shengxia's black and smooth hair. He was satisfied and smiled.

If it's not practical, it's not practical. In the future, it can be used specifically to wash Xiaxia's hair, and not just her hair, but other things too.

"Wow! Such a useful superpower!" Sheng Xia exclaimed in surprise.

A must-have for home and travel! The cleaning function is like a cleaning spell from a fantasy novel—it's so useful!

Hearing her straightforward praise, Tie Bai's face remained expressionless, but his ears turned slightly red. He still maintained a calm and aloof demeanor, like an immortal being.

I gently placed a kiss on the top of her head.

"As long as Xiaxia likes it."

Xiaxia didn't complain that his superpower was impractical and couldn't be used for hunting to support the family; Xiaxia was indeed very kind.

The next second, the chief suddenly raised his voice.

"Please invite Witch Doctor Xia to the stage to receive your award!"

Shengxia's almond-shaped eyes darted around playfully. She bit her lower lip, took a deep breath, and smiled politely before stepping onto the altar.

Looking down, all he saw was a dark mass of people, their eyes burning with X-ray intensity. Summer felt a little overwhelmed and lowered her gaze.

The fingertips hanging at her sides curled up involuntarily.

The following procedure was familiar to Shengxia, and everything went smoothly. With everyone as witnesses, Shengxia's heroic deeds were added to the end of the ancient animal skin scroll.

A picture and a drawing.

After finishing the last stroke, Shengxia suddenly entered a very mysterious state, as if she had entered a void.

The familiar golden totem pattern appears, and in the map section in the lower right corner, the Crab Roe Tribe has been merged into the Yafa map, and the color of the totem pattern is brighter.

The other beastmen were puzzled when they saw the green light that suddenly appeared on Shengxia's body. The green light turned into countless small spots of light, which scattered in all directions and fairly seeped into the bodies of all the beastmen.

Gradually, strange things began to happen.

Everyone's physical strength is increasing, including the females and cubs, as well as all the orcs who have recently joined the Crab Roe Tribe.

The entire square fell silent instantly, including the chief on the altar with a complex yet ecstatic expression and the stunned warriors dancing.

Among the beasts, Crab Shadow and Crab Red exchanged a glance, surprised and confused. What had happened?

They seem to have... become warriors!

Shengxia felt like half a century had passed, but in reality it was only five minutes. She suddenly opened her eyes, still somewhat confused.

The moment she opened her eyes, the other orcs gradually regained consciousness.

Suddenly someone shouted, "I have superpowers!"

The square instantly erupted in chaos.
