Chapter 775, The Scarlet Haired Girl

Translator: Silavin

 

Yan Jiao froze for a moment, his red eyes widening as he asked, “Shaman, you cannot go and take such a risk.”

 

He felt that they still had not yet clarified the other party’s situation. If the other party was concealing something dangerous, that would be problematic.

 

“With so many of you here, and she is only one person, nothing will happen,” Su Bai said as he stood up.

 

He would not reveal that he possessed the Danger Foresight Skill, so he could only find other excuses to explain.

 

“Shaman, you absolutely must not get too close later. I fear she has malicious intentions,” Yan Jiao said with concern.

 

“I know what to do. I just want to see who exactly she is,” Su Bai raised his hand.

 

“Shaman, should I bring her over? That way you would not need to make the trip,” Yan Jiao asked.

 

“No. In any case, I have been here for so many days without going out. I shall go there personally. Consider it a walk for my stiff body.” Su Bai said indifferently.

 

Yan Jiao paused for a moment, then nodded. “Then, Shaman, you must stand behind us. We will protect you.”

 

“…” The corners of Su Bai’s mouth twitched a few times.

 

*Step step step…*

 

Su Bai and the others stepped out of the Yong’an Building, heading towards the left side of the Tribe, where there was not only a cellar but also a dungeon.

 

The dungeon had only been excavated today. It had just been completed not long ago, and already someone had delivered themselves to their doorstep.

 

Half an hour later, Su Bai, under the protection of the Totem Warriors, slowly walked into the dungeon.

 

The dungeon occupied an area the size of two football pitches, with its entrance established on the ground surface just like the cellar.

 

The walls of the cells inside were all sealed with stone and cement. Destroying them would be no easy task. Naturally, this dungeon could only confine ordinary people or Warrior Trainees and the like. If they were to detain Totem Warriors, it might prove somewhat difficult. After all, for Totem Warriors, destroying a dungeon was not particularly challenging.

 

Although the dungeon walls were stone and cement, if they encountered more formidable Totem Warriors, this place would likely be easily destroyed.

 

“Shaman, it is up ahead.” Yan Jiao pointed to a cell in the corner.

 

This dungeon had a total of ten cells. Each cell was not particularly large. They could hardly allow the detained to possess a spacious area for movement.

 

Inside the dungeon, it was exceptionally dim. There were not many torches for illumination, relying entirely on the torches held by the Warriors to light the path ahead.

 

Otherwise, there were fire basins set up in front of each cell door, and nothing else beyond that.

 

The lighting throughout the dungeon could be described as pitch black. One could not see one’s hand before one’s face. Being confined in such an environment would surely lead to nervous exhaustion sooner or later.

 

Su Bai stepped closer to that cell partition, only to see a person completely bound.

 

That person kept their head lowered continuously. Long scarlet hair fell loosely, and their figure appeared exceptionally frail.

 

Their body seemed to be bound by iron chains, so their movement was restricted to only kneeling on the ground, with both hands also bound by long iron chains.

 

It was like a crucifix being pulled apart. On the wall, two long iron chains were used to bind her hands.

 

Of course, these iron chains were only produced after the iron ore was discovered. Otherwise, the Tribe would not have possessed such things.

 

The people in the workshop had forged them according to the blueprints Su Bai had provided.

 

The reason for forging iron chains was to guard against Totem Warriors. As long as they were bound with iron chains, their movement would be restricted to some extent.

 

As long as they bound several layers and fastened them securely, ordinary Totem Warriors would have no way to break free.

 

“Shaman, this is the female Totem Warrior who intruded into our Tribe today,” Yan Jiao said seriously.

 

He could sense that the other party’s strength was not that formidable, but to be on the safe side, he still had someone bind her with iron chains. Two Warriors remained nearby to watch over her.

 

“What is your name?” Su Bai’s gentle voice rang out.

 

He could sense that this girl harboured no malicious intent. For some reason, this feeling was particularly strong.

 

The Danger Foresight Skill had not activated either. Furthermore, her body was extremely frail.

 

Her breathing was also particularly weak. Although he had yet to see her face, he could sense that she was very haggard.

 

*Clang clang clang…*

 

The sound of the iron chains being pulled slowly rang out. The scarlet haired girl slowly raised her head.

 

She squinted her scarlet eyes. Her complexion was also extremely pale. After a long moment, she finally spoke a single word. “Qin.”

 

Su Bai froze when he saw the other party’s face. He had not expected that the other party’s appearance would be so exquisite.

 

Beneath the scarlet hair was a cool, oval face. The facial features were exceptionally delicate and petite.

 

A pair of scarlet eyes resembled the brilliant colours of sunset clouds. Her prominent nose very much resembled the exotic charm of those from Earth.

 

Her cherry-small lips, utterly bloodless, still appeared pitifully touching. A pair of curved eyebrows further enhanced this sensation.

 

If the other party were not so haggard at this moment, this appearance would likely captivate a great number of people.

 

“Shaman, she is so beautiful!” Yu Ying was also startled by the other party’s appearance.

 

Apart from seeing Sha Lan, Yan Hua and Co Co, she very rarely saw beautiful women anymore.

 

“Indeed. *Ahem…*” Su Bai cleared his throat and continued asking, “Which Tribe are you from?”

 

Judging by the other party’s appearance, she should be Human. There were no animal characteristics whatsoever on her body.

 

“Our Tribe has already perished,” She said, her tone of voice quite weak and powerless.

 

“So, you wanted to come to our Tribe to steal, is that it?” Su Bai asked tentatively.

 

He did not know what the other party’s purpose was, but judging by the other party’s appearance, she should not have eaten for many days.

 

Otherwise, her face could not possibly be so bloodless. Moreover, looking at her body, there were no new wounds.

 

Clearly, it could not have been caused after the Chieftain and the others captured her. Furthermore, the people of the Tribe would not casually bully a girl.

 

Even if the other party was a Totem Warrior, it was the same. As long as the other party did not resist, she would most likely not be injured.

 

“Steal? I only came to have a look. I never steal other people’s things,” The girl said disdainfully.

 

“Have a look? How did you get in?” Su Bai asked.

 

On the way here, he had already asked Yan Jiao. The registration office at the main gate had no record of this person. In short, she never entered through the main gate. If not through the main gate, she must have sneaked in.

 

“I slipped in when your people were not paying attention. That is very simple for me,” Qin did not conceal anything.

 

At this moment, having already been captured and brought here, there was nothing left to conceal.

 

“Oh? Interesting. Tell me how you slipped in,” Su Bai raised his eyebrows slightly.

 

While curious, he also looked towards the Chieftain. Such a major oversight was now laid bare before them.

 

Yan Jiao immediately straightened his body. This was indeed a major oversight. He thought to himself that later he must properly discipline those Warriors.

 

Silavin: The heck. This girl’s name is something I’ve never seen before. 吢. I have to search it up. Apparently, it is called Qin, meaning the vomit of cats or dogs…
