The Witch Doctor from the village of Yu spoke in a very arrogant tone.
At this point, still maintaining the attitude of superiority towards the inferior.
Yu Su found it amusing; it seemed the Witch Doctor had lost both sight and insight.
In such a situation, where I hold the knife and you are the fish, why maintain a facade in front of him?
Yu Su: "You come to cause trouble in my Yu Village and ask if I am from Yu Village?"
The Witch Doctor stared at Yu Su with white pupils: "You killed people from Fengcheng."
Yu Su: "It was your people from Fengcheng who disregarded the rules, attacked Yu Village, and got killed. Blame your extended reach."
The Witch Doctor coldly said, "This area is under Fengcheng's jurisdiction. By taking the goods from Salt Village, Fengcheng has the right to punish you."
Yu Su chuckled, "Jurisdiction? Fengcheng seems unaware that this place is no longer within its control; it belongs to my Yu Village. If you're sensible, go back and tell Fengcheng's High Witch not to harass us again. Otherwise, don't blame us for being unkind to Fengcheng."
"What kind of thing are you to speak to us like this!" said the captain standing next to the Witch Doctor.
Yu Su glanced around, "What kind of thing are we, you say?"
The captain also surveyed the surroundings; all of their people were entangled by the monster's vines!
"You, what kind of monster are you!" The captain's face turned pale.
"Monster?" Yu Su threw three black-clothed figures, "You mean them?"
Thrown out were the Witch Shadow Guards. Under the effect of orpiment, they curled up, trembling, displaying fear as they looked at Yu Su.
"Witch Shadow Guards?" The captain exclaimed in surprise, "What did you do to them!"
Though the Witch Doctor couldn't see, he understood through the captain's words.
His nostrils twitched as if he had caught a scent, "Orpiment?"
Yu Su: "Seems like your nose isn't blind."
The Witch Doctor stared at Yu Su, "How do you know about orpiment!"
This was one of the Witch Temple's secrets; only they knew about this antidote.
Yu Su: "Snakes fear orpiment. Is this some incredible secret?"
The Witch Doctor said coldly, "Do you know what they are?"
Yu Su smiled, "Of course, snake-guised humans."
As Yu Su spoke, the others changed their expressions.
This was one of the Witch Temple's top secrets. How did this outsider know about it?
"Who are you?" The Witch Doctor asked through gritted teeth.
Yu Su: "Yu Village's Witch Doctor."
Witch Doctor?
The Witch Doctor stared at Yu Su, not believing that a mere Witch Doctor could be so formidable. This person was definitely not as simple as a Witch Doctor!
But it didn't matter; today, both of them had to die here!
The Witch Doctor suddenly opened his mouth, emitting a chilling, eerie scream, and his white pupils released a terrifying cold breath.
The surroundings suddenly grew cold, and a chilly wind blew.
Something was coming in the cold wind.
They were ragged, with a pale-blue complexion, and their open eyes had white pupils.
Those were the undead.
In the moment of eye contact, one could feel the hair stand on end!
They surrounded the area, controlled by the Witch Doctor, moving towards Yu Su and Lu Yan.
Even the Fengcheng soldiers couldn't help but feel afraid. Their faces showed a contradictory expression of relief and extreme fear.
However, Yu Su and Lu Yan remained unfazed.
Watching the approaching undead, Yu Su even observed with interest.
"So, this is how the undead look. Quite enlightening," Yu Su showed a curious expression.
Fengcheng people: "..."
What's wrong with this person? Isn't he afraid?
Yu Su: "Unfortunately, the timing is not right; otherwise, I would like to capture a few for research."
Lu Yan frowned, "Ugly."
His spiritual roots and techniques were inherently incompatible with these evil beings. He didn't like these undead.
Yu Su: "Well, let's not study them then."
Facing the Witch Doctor, who couldn't see their reactions but could infer from their conversation, a smile formed on Yu Su's face, "Now, it's your turn."
The Witch Doctor turned pale.
...
A disturbance was resolved when many were unaware.
The guests who came to participate in Yu Village's deity ceremony were still in the village, preparing to leave after tonight's barbecue feast.
So, tonight's barbecue feast could be considered a farewell banquet.
The hunting team brought back a good number of prey, currently slaughtering and cleaning them by the river.
They prepared roast lamb and skewers, chunks of tender meat marinated with spices and threaded onto branches. Rows of skewers were placed in wooden trays, carried away one by one.
In addition to meat skewers, there were also vegetarian skewers.
Mushrooms, root vegetables resembling yams, chestnuts, and fresh green leafy vegetables with stems.
A variety of choices were available.
The square already had set up stoves, and fresh fruits and fine wines were also prepared.
When night fell, the bonfire lit up, the stoves heated up, and the aroma of grilled skewers immediately wafted out.
Those outsiders who lingered near Yu Village, not wanting to leave due to the miracles, soon caught a whiff of the enticing fragrance. Each one salivated.
"What delicious thing is Yu Village making again? It smells so good!"
"Barbecue! Didn't you see in the afternoon? Trays of meat were brought in."
"There's also roast lamb."
"If only we could go in."
Many people looked longingly in the direction of Yu Village, envying the villagers and the guests attending the banquet. Smelling the wafting fragrance in the wind, they couldn't help but salivate.
"I've heard that the chefs in Yu Village are very skilled. Just the aroma makes people unable to resist."
"I also heard that their culinary skills were taught by Lord Yu Su."
"Lord Yu Su is truly amazing, he can do everything."
Passing by Yu Village, the villagers displayed a proud expression, slightly lifting their chins.
What's this? Lord Yu Su knows much more than these people can imagine!
However, as they approached the village entrance, the people of Yu Village couldn't maintain their proud expressions anymore. They all hastened their steps back to the village.
By the mountain deity, it was truly too enticing; they couldn't resist any longer!
Except for the patrol team and the stationed Yu Village soldiers, all the other villagers were drawn back to the village by the aroma, quickly finding seats on the square.
At this moment, Yu Su and Lu Yan also arrived, both already changed into simple attire.
Lu Yan went directly to roast meat for Yu Su.
The tribal high witch and the chiefs and witch doctors from other villages all stood up to bow to Yu Su.
"Lord Yu Su."
"Lord Yu Su, please come and sit on my side."
"Or you can come to my side; it's spacious here."
Since the miracle of the deity ceremony, their reverence for Yu Su had risen to a new level, and their eyes were filled with enthusiastic admiration. Especially the witch doctors from various villages, upon seeing Yu Su, it was as if they had encountered a life idol, revealing a fanatical fan mentality. They all wanted to sit with Yu Su.
In the end, the tribal high witch, leveraging his status, took Yu Su away.
The witch doctors from various villages couldn't help but feel regretful, expressing silent resentment toward the tribal high witch.
There was no way around it. Who made the tribal high witch's status higher and strength stronger than theirs?
Although they couldn't sit next to Yu Su, they still formed a circle around him.
A small fire was lit in the middle, and someone placed a grill on top. Meat skewers and vegetable skewers were brought over, specially roasted for them.
Initially, the witch doctors from various villages wanted to get close to Yu Su. Little did they know that the aroma of the grilled skewers was too enticing, and everyone's attention couldn't help but be drawn to it. They stared at the roasted skewers.
The tribal high witch sneered, thinking that with their greedy looks, they still wanted to defeat him and sit beside Lord Yu Su. It was wishful thinking.
However, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Lord Yu Su, we will set off for the Mánzú Forest early tomorrow. Please find time to visit our forest more often." The tribal high witch extended an invitation.
Yu Su smiled, "Sure."
Upon hearing this, others inwardly cursed the tribal high witch for being too cunning, inviting Lord Yu Su ahead of everyone else!
They also forgot about the roasted meat, seizing the opportunity to invite Yu Su to their villages.
Yu Su, of course, politely accepted, responding appropriately to everyone.
In reality, his gaze had been secretly watching Lu Yan and... the roasted meat in Lu Yan's hands.
Oh, it was too tempting.
To maintain his composure, he couldn't show a very eager look, not even being able to glance too much. He could only sneak a peek with the corner of his eye.
While roasting the meat, Lu Yan glanced at him and immediately saw through Yu Su's hidden anticipation.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
