I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

On the hillside was a dense forest, with thick branches and leaves providing shade, the most abundant fruit was something that was red. It was typically at this time that the tree bore this red fruit. It was both juicy and intense in colour, which made it stand out against the emerald green leaves. Seeing them whetting one’s appetite.

Ye Jiu and the others were walking through the dense forest. It was the third day since they had been sent out to go hunting.

Today was the last day of hunting before they returned. No matter how much or how little they caught, they had to return to the Tribe by noon tomorrow.

They had already hunted quite a few beasts since they came out, including several Ferocious Beasts.

This time, the new Totem Warriors were led by Da Gua, Wa Ming, and others to go out hunting.

The purpose was to observe the strength of the newly arrived Totem Warriors, to better assign corresponding tasks for them later.

Ye Jiu looked up at the trees with bright red fruits and softly commented, “There are so many Red Fruits here.”

Red Fruits were not found everywhere. They had a sweet and sour crisp taste, and quenched thirst really well. They were one of the favourite berries for many Tribes when they went out hunting.

“You can eat them when you’re thirsty, Red Fruits can be seen everywhere in this forest,” Wa Ming said.

For the whole day, since they got up in the morning till now, they had been wandering the dense forest but had nothing to show for it. Today, they had not seen any large beasts or Ferocious Beasts.

All they had seen were some small wild rabbits and wild chickens. These small wild beasts were too small. If they caught them and took them back, there would not be much meat to eat. Thus, they just leave them be, so that they could continue to grow bigger.

“We’ve always hunted in this area, but there really aren’t that many Ferocious Beasts,” Wa Ming said, pouting.

“Our Tribe’s population is growing. This won’t work in the long run,” Ye Jiu said worriedly.

Although they could exchange for quite a bit of dried meat at the Spotted Deer Market, that was not enough. They still had to have a consistent way of getting dried meat, which was through hunting. Furthermore, the meat brought back from hunting was fresh, and they could also obtain Ferocious Beast Meat and Blood, as well as Animal Hides.

Da Gua’s face became solemn, and he helplessly said, “We indeed need to report this to the Shaman. Compared to the Ancestral Land, Ferocious Beasts are really sparse here.”

Shou Ya revealed a pair of big front teeth and asked, “I heard that your Flame Dragon Tribe’s Ancestral Land is great for living, and there are many Ferocious Beasts and wild beasts there, right?”

“Of course. Our Ancestral Land is exceptional. If it weren’t for… if it weren’t for the Black Snake Tribe, we would still be in our Ancestral Land right now,” Wa Ming said angrily.

Ye Jiu frowned and said in a deep voice, “The Black Snake Tribe has really done a lot of bad things. If it weren’t for them, our Tribe would still be standing today.”

Shan Xiong also had an angry expression as he furiously cursed, “That damn Black Snake Tribe! If I get the chance, I’ll definitely make them pay the price!”

“But our primary goal right now is to hunt and then return.” Da Gua calmly stated.

“Yes,” Shou Ya and others nodded.

*Yiiii….* *Thump thump thump…*

Suddenly, the cry of a Ferocious Beast rang out in the dense forest, and the previously quiet forest suddenly became agitated.

Birds in the forest flew away in flocks, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Da Gua and Wa Ming immediately stopped their idle chatter and reminded, “There’s a Ferocious Beast. Everyone, be on alert.”

Everyone quickly stood back to back, gripping their stone knives tightly, their eyes revealing nervousness.

No one knew what kind of Ferocious Beast would appear. If it was a Mix Blood Ferocious Beast, it would still be manageable. If no…

Obviously, the roar they just heard did not sound to be that weak, which was why everyone was tense.

*Crack crack…* The sound of dry wood being stepped on rang out, sometimes from the left, sometimes from the right, making it impossible to pinpoint its direction.

Originally, there were some insect sounds around, but they suddenly stopped. The surroundings became terrifyingly quiet.

It was so quiet that the breathing of Da Gua and the others seemed particularly loud. No one dared to take a big breath, fearing that something might change in the very next second.

Ye Jiu frowned, her grey eyes looking in the direction of the sound of the branches being stepped on.

The wolf eared girl could almost always accurately identify where a particular sound came from.

“It might be a Pure Blood Ferocious Beast, the Six Eyed Red Bird. Everyone, be careful!” Ye Jiu warned.

As the name suggests, this Ferocious Beast has very long legs, six eyes, and looks a bit like an ostrich from Earth. However, it was far larger in size and ferocity.

“A Six Eyed Red Bird!?” Wa Ming’s eyes widened in shock, “We’ve hunted so many times but never encountered one before.”

“How do you know it’s a Six Eyed Red Bird?” Da Gua asked.

Ye Jiu’s grey eyes were still staring intently at the surroundings, not daring to relax. She only said, “I’ve encountered one before. It was just like this. The sound it made is the same.”

“We’re not familiar with this kind of Ferocious Beast. How strong is it?” Da Gua asked.

At this time, when someone knew what Ferocious Beast it was, they had to clarify whatever they knew. After all, the rest of the team did not know how this Ferocious Beast attacked. It was better to understand such things to be on the safe side. Plenty of them have suffered through an harrowing experience because they did not understand a particular Ferocious Beast while out hunting.

“Be careful of its beak. If you get pecked by its beak, it can go straight through you body.” Ye Jiu solemnly said.

When the wolf eared girl’s Tribe was still around, there was a Totem Warrior who was careless and had his head directly pecked through by a Six Eyed Red Bird.

The consequences were imaginable. He died on the spot, and the whole thing happened in an instant.

“…”

The Totem Warriors drew in a sharp breath. They had encountered many Ferocious Beasts, but so far, they had not encountered one so tricky to deal with.

“You’re more familiar with this Ferocious Beast. What are its weaknesses?” Da Gua asked worriedly.

“It is very good at running. We can’t stay on the ground.” Ye Jiu’s body kept moving with the sound of the Ferocious Beast’s footsteps, as she continued to advise, “Otherwise, we won’t be able to outrun it. We would be exhausted if we tried.”
