Chapter 823, Stay Close at All Times

Ga’s long green hair cascaded across her face as she continued speaking, “So we just need to find the Stone Thorn Tree.”

 

The scorpion girl appeared quite calm at this moment, her emotions gradually settling down. Her mood had remained quite steady, only fluctuating slightly when discussing the Dark Scorpion Tribe.

 

“So what marking should be added on top?” Su Bai asked.

 

He thought to himself that it seemed he would need to pay more attention to markings on other trees in the forest from now on.

 

Perhaps sometimes he could obtain important information, which would also help with the Tribe’s development.

 

“Just carve a scorpion directly on it. That way it will be very clear that it concerns the Dark Scorpion Tribe,” Ga explained. Her scorpion tail swayed involuntarily, though it could only move slightly, after all, she was tied up.

 

“Good. I’ll leave this task to you then, since you understand these matters better,” Su Bai instructed.

 

The scorpion pattern was not difficult to draw, but what if it was drawn poorly or incorrectly? The best person for this task was still the scorpion girl. Only she understood it best.

 

“You are going to have me go?” Ga was stunned. She never expected that they would send her. After all, wasn’t her current status that of a prisoner?

 

To just let herself leave so directly was somewhat surprising. Weren’t they afraid she would run away?

 

“Shaman, let me take on this task,” Yan Hua suddenly stepped forward.

 

She was worried, very afraid that the other party would take this opportunity to escape, which was why she volunteered.

 

“Shaman, we cannot let her go. Let us go instead,” Sha Lan also chimed in agreement. She was also worried about the same issue, fearing that the other party would return to tip them off or something similar.

 

“No, having her go is for the best. You are all unsuitable for this task,” Su Bai shook his head.

 

“Shaman, I think Ah’Hua and the others are right. Having them go would be more appropriate,” Yan Jiao also stepped forward.

 

The Chieftain was worried about the same issue, and also didn’t quite trust the scorpion girl.

 

“I know what you’re all worried about. She won’t leave. She already belongs to our Flame Dragon Tribe now,” Su Bai said earnestly.

 

He could understand everyone’s current feelings, but this task still had to be Ga’s.

 

“Shaman, besides worrying that she’ll leave, we’re also worried she’ll go back to find people to continue attacking our Tribe.” Cang Shi’s tone was somewhat agitated.

 

“Shaman, not only that, she might also give false markings, thereby attracting more people. What then?” Yan Jiao added.

 

“I’ve thought about all of this. When she carries out this task, Ah’Hua and Ah’Lan, you’ll go with her. That way there’s nothing to worry about,” Su Bai reassured them.

 

“Why do you trust me so much?” Ga suddenly asked. She felt that Su Bai was truly extraordinary. His inner qualities were completely different from his immature outward appearance. It was as if a fifty or sixty-year-old Elder Shaman was hiding inside the body of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth. The words he spoke showed great foresight, and the matters he arranged were very thorough. It was far too incongruous with that refined youthful face.

 

“That’s because of what you just said. Since you want us to help you, you couldn’t possibly be lying.” Su Bai took a sip of water and continued, “To say such flawless words in such a short time would surely be impossible, wouldn’t it?”

 

He had been analysing seriously. There were no flaws in what the other party said, and moreover, the Flame Dragon Tribe also needed Ga’s help.

 

“This trust will bring benefits to the Flame Dragon Tribe,” Ga said with determined eyes.

 

She knew the terror of the Dark Scorpion Tribe. Seeing that the other party was willing to trust her meant they could avoid many dangers.

 

Because with her help, they could severely dampen the Dark Scorpion Tribe’s momentum.

 

“You will also benefit from what you said today,” Su Bai smiled. He naturally understood what the scorpion girl meant.

 

“Must I continue to be locked in that pitch-black place?” Ga looked up and asked.

 

The scorpion girl really disliked that place. It felt especially damp and gloomy. Upon entering, there was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

 

“If you weren’t a person of the Flame Dragon Tribe, naturally you wouldn’t need to continue living there,” Su Bai put down his cup.

 

“It’s already very dark outside. We certainly cannot go to the forest now. I can set out early tomorrow morning,” Ga continued.

 

Su Bai blinked his black eyes and nodded, “En, rest well. Tomorrow Ah’Hua will set out with you.”

 

“I wonder where the Shaman will arrange for me to stay this time?” Ga asked directly.

 

“At the very edge of the Tribe. There are plenty of wooden houses there. You can choose one of them.” Su Bai sat up straight.

 

“I understand,” Ga nodded.

 

Su Bai waved his hand, signalling for someone to take the scorpion girl away, while he himself began drinking hot tea.

 

“Shaman, will this be alright? Can we trust her?” Yan Jiao worried.

 

The Chieftain had just finished listening to Su Bai’s analysis and indeed knew that to speak such a long flawless statement in such a short time was truly very difficult.

 

However, even with this reasonable explanation, he still felt somewhat worried in his heart. After all, this person was from the Dark Scorpion Tribe, and moreover was the leader of this attacking force, which inevitably made people distrustful.

 

“Don’t worry. I’ll arrange more people to watch over her. She’s just one person. Nothing will definitely go wrong,” Su Bai reassured.

 

“Understood. From now on, I will constantly arrange for people to watch her every move,” Yan Jiao also turned and left the Yong’an Building.

 

Yan Hua walked over to a seat and sat down, sighing, “Shaman, I’m worried she’ll harm you.”

 

Yan Hua was quite worried about this point. Actually, she didn’t have much doubt about what the other party said, but was worried that the other party still harboured certain malicious objectives.

 

“Shaman, from now on let us stay with you at all times. That way nothing will go wrong,” Sha Lan also said.

 

“Hahaha,” Su Bai ruffled both their heads and said cheerfully, “Good. When she’s in the Tribe, you two can stay with me constantly.”

 

He actually wasn’t worried at all, aside from having the Danger Foresight Skill, he also had many Skills. These Skills were sufficient to guarantee his personal safety.

 

Furthermore, there were always people patrolling around the Yong’an Building. It would be absolutely impossible for the scorpion girl to find an opportunity.

 

“We absolutely cannot let her have any chance,” Yan Hua suddenly clenched her fist.

 

“That’s right, we must work hard,” Sha Lan also nodded.
