Listening to the old man's endless curses, Hiccup directly waved his hand, enveloping the old man from head to toe, every inch of his skin, in a black flame.
"Ah~~!"
The old man's painful wails awakened the severely injured and unconscious elders around him.
They looked at the old man's 慘狀 , each feeling a shiver in their hearts and cold sweat trickling down their backs.
When Hiccup's gaze swept over them, every single person trembled in fear, even instinctively trying to shrink back.
However, they had already been strung up on pillars and had nowhere to hide, so they could only close their eyes, deceiving themselves into believing that Hiccup had not seen them.
The old man was eventually burned to ashes and then carried away by the wind.
Hiccup looked at the remaining people and said, "If you can lead me to find the Beserk Tribe's food and treasures! I will spare your lives!"
"I know, I know! I know where the cave with the treasure is hidden!"
"I know where the Beserk Tribe's food and weapons are!"
"I know where the Beserk Tribe's cloth storage cave is!"
For pirates with backward productivity, cloth was more valuable than gold, even plain cotton and linen…
Hiccup hadn't expected to gain cloth as well; it seemed large tribes truly were different.
He casually released a black flame, directly cutting the ropes on them, and then Hiccup said coldly, "Take me there immediately!"
These people dared not delay, pulling out long keys from their boots. To Hiccup's surprise, these keys were made of stone.
Was there no fear that these stones would weather and become brittle over time, rendering the large doors unusable?
In fact, Hiccup was overthinking it, because these stones only appeared to be keys; in reality, they were just something like a bolt!
The secret to opening the cave's stone lock lay in inserting these oddly shaped stones into their corresponding shaped gaps, and then using the principle of leverage to directly open the door.
Therefore, these stones were not unique; as long as identical stones were crafted according to their appearance, the stone door could be opened. In fact, these stones weren't even necessary; the door could be pushed open with brute force.
Hiccup arrived at the Beserk Tribe's treasury with anticipation. The moment the stone door opened, it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.
"Roar!"
Night Fury directly spat out a blue-purple fireball, igniting all the torches inside the cave!
The torches illuminated the entire treasury, revealing the glittering gold before Hiccup's eyes.
Indeed, this gold was not ore, but finished products that had already been crafted into utensils, with golden wine pots and golden goblets being the most numerous.
Moreover, these wine pots were inlaid with various colored gems.
The old man said fawningly, "I am responsible for guarding all the Beserk Tribe's treasures! But these are not the most valuable!"
"The truly valuable items are hidden behind this gold!"
Following the old man's footsteps, he arrived behind the gold, facing a stone wall. Hiccup felt something strange here.
The Beserk Tribe's people wouldn't just leave these treasures directly here, so Hiccup didn't rush to approach the wall, but instead observed it carefully.
The wall mostly had horizontal and vertical intersecting cracks, nothing different.
The more normal something was, the more abnormal it became.
So Hiccup directly ordered Night Fury to blast open this wall with a blue-purple fireball!
Sure enough, after the wall collapsed, a puff of green smoke wafted out from inside.
This was the Two-Headed Dragon's smoke; inhaling this smoke in such a confined environment would make one dizzy.
"Roar!"
Night Fury directly spat out a blue-purple fireball, knocking the old man to the ground.
And because the old man inhaled too much poisonous gas unexpectedly, he immediately fainted, and then suffered Night Fury's fireball attack, causing him to completely pass out and never wake up.
And when the green smoke encountered Night Fury's fireball, it instantly exploded.
In the blink of an eye, all the smoke disappeared. Hiccup's mind moved, and flames rose around him, illuminating the path ahead.
Inside were many fist-sized pearls, and at the very top was a small square box wrapped in sheepskin.
Hiccup immediately became curious: what could be inside this box?
Upon opening it, purple crystals were immediately revealed, and Hiccup instinctively reached out to take them.
"Ding! Dream Crystal detected! Absorb immediately to increase mental power!"
Hiccup hadn't expected the Beserk Tribe to possess something like magic crystals.
His mental power was already sufficient, so he didn't need to absorb these Dream Crystals, and besides, absorbing them would only have a negligible effect.
It would be better to use these Dream Crystals to create magic arrays, which could then be used to interrogate prisoners!
Because the magic arrays created with Dream Crystals could make prisoners see their deepest fears, and this type of magic array was only a basic one; as long as there were Dream Crystals and one knew magic, it could be set up.
He directly put these items into his system space, as for the gold outside, it remained piled up there!
What remained were mountains of food, though most of it was just black wheat; there was nothing particularly special about the food, otherwise they wouldn't be eating black bread every day.
The Beserk Tribe's weapons, in Hiccup's eyes, were no different from scrap metal; if these weapons were used to clash with the Dragon Riders' weapons, they would undoubtedly shatter easily.
After seeing all this, except for the first old man who had ill intentions, Hiccup kept his promise to let the remaining few people leave.
However, he only gave them a small wooden boat, letting the four of them leave on one boat. Whether they lived or died was entirely up to their own fate.
At this time, the Dragon Riders had also completely subdued the Beserk Tribe villagers.
Because the villagers who wanted to resist had already been directly burned to ashes by the dragons. With this deterrent, no one had any thoughts of resistance anymore…
Hiccup once again came before Chala and said, "From now on, the entire Beserk Tribe will be under your management! When I return three days from now! I hope the Beserk Tribe will be completely transformed!"
Chala respectfully said, "Please rest assured, esteemed Chief! I will certainly not disappoint you!"
Then, under the gaze of all the villagers, Hiccup led the majority of the Dragon Riders away from the Beserk Tribe, leaving only a small portion of the Dragon Riders to assist Chala in managing the Beserk Tribe!
