Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1408 - 1247: Ancient Beast World 13

All the beastmen watched Shuangshuang with solemn expressions, indicating they were paying very close attention. Shuangshuang saw these beastmen were not distracted, all focused on her, so she continued."In a moment, I will explain the effects and names of all the herbs in front of me, and you must remember them diligently. Afterwards, I will have you come forward one by one to look at these herbs.

When you come up, I will shuffle the order of the herbs, and you must accurately name each herb and state its effects. You cannot misidentify or misremember them.

Those who pass will join me in harvesting herbs outside, where I will personally teach you the methods of harvesting herbs, as well as how to store and simply process herbs.

Believe me, learning these will be beneficial to you. Although these herbs need to be used in combination to create hemostatic powder, each herb on its own has potent effects.

If you’re injured outside and don’t have hemostatic powder at hand, knowing how to identify herbs allows you to harvest them for hemostatic treatment, increasing your chances of survival.

Therefore, I hope you will listen earnestly to my explanations later, don’t get distracted or forget what you’ve heard. Even if you don’t pass the test to harvest herbs, remembering one or two useful herbs could save your life or the life of a companion or friend in an emergency."

The beastmen below were staring wide-eyed at Shuangshuang, listening very seriously, though they partially understood what Shuangshuang was saying. Their minds were straightforward; they only knew how to follow orders without thinking on their own.

This doesn’t mean beastmen are just dumb or missing a few screws. While some are indeed simple-minded and foolish, the broader reason lies in their growth environment.

It’s like if a child is raised by wolves from a young age, that child would become a wolf-child; raised by tigers, he becomes a tiger-child.

If you shut a clever child away from learning anything except feeding, he will grow up to be like a blank sheet of paper, dumb and foolish.

A person’s knowledge is expanded through learning; wisdom broadens one’s horizon, opening the door to wisdom. What Shuangshuang is doing now is to initially open this door of wisdom for the beastmen.

Due to their lifestyle from a young age, beastmen are accustomed to not thinking, following orders, accustomed to whatever the Great Witch says goes, or when the Great Witch is absent, whatever the Clan Leader says goes.

Shuangshuang aims to first let them understand what learning is. When they get used to learning and distinguishing herbs, Shuangshuang will continue teaching them other things, step by step, until eventually guiding them to think for themselves.

Even though these beastmen are straightforward and lack understanding, it doesn’t mean they don’t know what good things are. Shuangshuang’s hemostatic agent is only equipped by the Hunting Team led by Shi Li for facing the most dangerous situations.

But those in the Hunting Team also have their own close associates and friends, inevitably sharing some of this good stuff with their close friends and family.

In primitive society, injuries and bleeding are common, and so the hemostatic agent’s effects have long spread throughout the tribe, especially when one beastman was gored in the waist during a hunt, sustaining a huge wound that, according to their experience, was certainly fatal.

Thankfully, this beastman’s companion happened to have some hemostatic powder given by a Hunting Team friend and immediately sprinkled it on the wound.

Initially, this was merely a desperate measure, with no hope the powder could actually save a life, but after application, the bleeding stopped, the wound shrank significantly, and the beastman’s life was saved. Everyone knew about it; this hemostatic powder was practically a life-saving miracle!

From then on, everyone in the tribe hoped to carry a dose of the hemostatic powder made by the Great Witch. It was practically like carrying an extra life.

Although they didn’t understand much else, they grasped when Shuangshuang said they could assist in gathering herbs to increase the production of hemostatic powder, allowing each of them to carry a dose.

Therefore, they listened very attentively to Shuangshuang’s explanations of each herb, though the tribe was too large. Even though Shuangshuang used witch power to amplify her voice so every beastman could hear her clearly,

the herbs couldn’t be magnified. Those at the back couldn’t see clearly, growing anxious, they couldn’t help but squeeze forward, wanting to see what herbs Shuangshuang had placed.

Thus, more people pushed forward, while those near the front didn’t dare disrupt Shuangshuang’s teaching by crowding her space, so they pushed back vigorously.

In the scuffle, a group of individuals fell to the ground, rolling together in a heap, abruptly interrupting Shuangshuang’s explanation as she watched the beastmen rolling on the ground, her brow twitched.

The beastmen on the ground saw they had interrupted Shuangshuang’s explanation and panicked, for them, the Great Witch’s authority was too high; they dared not show any defiance or offense, interrupting the Great Witch’s teaching was simply a great crime!

Panic-stricken, their first reaction was to scramble to their feet, then they knelt in several rows before Shuangshuang, touching their foreheads to the ground, repeatedly begging for forgiveness.

These beastmen kneeling on the ground were very anxious, afraid they had angered the Great Witch, causing her to stop teaching or revoke their privilege to receive hemostatic powder.

Shuangshuang was not angry; she understood the situation immediately, rubbing her forehead, she saw their frightened expressions and consoled them, "You may rise, no need to be so alarmed.

This is my fault for failing to consider whether those at the back could see the herbs; you were only anxious to help me solve this. I’m not angry.

Here’s what we’ll do, fifty people at a time, I’ll trouble Dou Yan to help organize, I’ll explain separately to different groups.

The group taking the explanation can gather around the stone slab to closely observe the herbs, and after everyone in the tribe has seen the herbs, then they can individually come forward to identify.

This way, everyone can hear how I explain clearly, avoiding someone not seeing well. Those who finish my explanation and wish to hear more should stand further back, and not disturb those currently listening in front."

The reason Shuangshuang asked Dou Yan for help in organizing was because not all beastmen understand numbers; many still habitually use knotted grass ropes to keep records, even though they have numbers.

Since the tribe hasn’t had a Great Witch for a long time, Dou Yan, as Clan Leader, has more knowledge compared to other tribe leaders who have a Great Witch, at least he can read and count.

Dou Yan is perfectly suited to help Shuangshuang organize the group, preventing them from standing around cluelessly about how many make fifty.
