It was said that a long time ago, most of the tribes lived in the mountains and forests. Later on, some tribes walked out of the mountains and forests in search of a more peaceful place to live. Some tribes, although not migrating, cut down the forests around their living areas. After thousands of years, they were separated from the original mountains and forests, and the former forests could not be seen in their original state.
Among the tribes that decided to go into the mountains with the Yanjiao, some had ancestors who left the mountains themselves, such as the Longboat tribe. Others, such as the Feather tribe, had deliberately changed their surroundings.
No matter which it was, they hadn't felt it in a long time. Moving in a place like this, isolated from the rest of the world, full of ancient trees, wild grass, fearsome beasts, and poisonous insects, was like returning to the most primitive state of savagery.
They were wearing clothes made of finely woven linen and silk cloth, which made them feel particularly out of place as they walked. For the people of the various tribes who had always wanted to leave their barbaric state, this was indeed a very special experience.
Looking at the five Yanjiao people in front of them, they still looked normal. Although they wore clothes made of cloth, most of them were made of animal skin. Normally, they didn't feel anything special, but after entering the mountains, they could clearly feel the changes in the Yanjiao people. They seemed to have blended into the forest, and there was no sense of awkwardness. It was as if these people were born to belong in the mountains. Rather than saying that they were hunters who were good at surviving in the mountains, it was more accurate to say that they were humanoid beasts that roamed freely.
Yes, the people of the various tribes were beginning to feel the beastly nature of the Yanjiao people. Especially after seeing Duo Kang tear apart a beast that had pounced down from a tree with his bare hands, the bloody visual impact was even more intense.
It was the most primitive, savage, and savage nature.
This was the real Yanjiao people.
Whoosh!
A spear pierced through the small gap between the few people in the group, almost brushing past their clothes. The wind made the cloth flap.
The spear's high speed seemed to heat up the air, and it made the fine hairs on the people's faces tremble.
Puchi —
Thud!
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing through flesh and the sound of a nail piercing into a tree sounded at almost the same time.
The people who thought they were going to be pierced by the spear stiffened and slowly twisted their bodies to look in the direction of the sound.
There, a strange-looking animal was waving its bamboo-like limbs, twisting its body as if trying to break free. However, a spear pierced through its neck, nailing it to the tree trunk.
Brownish red blood flowed out of the wound. The grayish-brown animal that looked like a dried leopard gradually slowed down its struggling movements until it stopped moving.
Looking at the animal's claws, they were like nails! Many people in the group swallowed their saliva. How did it move when it looked like this? Just now, he didn't even hear much of a commotion. By the time he heard the sound and prepared to defend himself, the spear had already arrived.
"What … is that?" someone from the Feather
"It's a normal beast in the mountains.." Shao Xuan walked over and pulled out the spear that was nailed to the tree trunk. "Don't get scratched by them. They are poisonous. We usually don't eat them."
No one asked if they could eat it! Seeing Shao Xuan's incomparably calm reaction, many people in the group were already complaining in their hearts. They already lost their appetite when they saw the beast, let alone eat it.
In fact, many people in the group had been to the desert. It was reasonable to say that there were many desert beasts. They had experienced the desert and should have been mentally prepared. But the mountains were different from the desert. Killing people was different from killing beasts.
In the desert where the slave owners lived, there were too many dead places. Sometimes there were no living creatures. As long as they were a little cautious, they could avoid most of the dangers.
But it was different here. There was life everywhere, full of vitality and full of killing intent. It was impossible to guard against. If they had to deal with every kind, they would die of exhaustion. This was the world of fierce beasts.
Screech —
A few eagle cries came from the sky.
The faces of several people from the Hui tribe suddenly changed. They could feel the anxiety from the eagle's cries and wanted to climb up the tree to see what was going on. The foliage here was lush, almost covering the sky above. Only some fine Yang Guang shone through the narrow gaps between the leaves.
"No need to look. Your eagles must have gone the wrong way and entered the territory of other fierce beasts." Shao Xuan guessed without looking.
"Tell them not to fly around and follow the original route. Be honest and don't fight with those fierce beasts. It won't be good if they attract more birds." Shao Xuan explained.
Gu La quickly nodded and climbed up the tree. He whistled to the sky and waited for the giant mountain eagles to fly down. He gave them a few words of advice before returning to the group.
"In the mountains, there are many places you have to pay attention to. Some areas are surrounded by fierce beasts. Don't wander around. You have to see if you can deal with those beasts. If you enter the territory of a fierce beast that you can't beat and kill its prey, then you're out of luck." Shao Xuan led the way while explaining to these people who had never lived in this mountain. If they could learn more about it, they could avoid trouble.
"But, how do we know where the fierce beasts are and where we can't mess with them?" Someone in the group asked.
"Don't you have us?" Shao Xuan said, "We haven't really entered the heart of the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest yet. We Yanjiao know more about this place. As long as you follow our instructions, you can avoid some unnecessary trouble."
So, they had to go wherever the Yanjiao told them to go?
The people who heard Shao Xuan's words were unhappy, but they could only follow the instructions of the Yanjiao people in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest. After all, they had no experience surviving in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest.
"I just hope you can lead the way." Huang Ye of the Mang tribe said.
"That's for sure. Don't worry."
As soon as Shao Xuan's voice fell, they heard cracking sounds not far away. It was the sound of branches and vines breaking, and it was getting closer and closer.
A huge beast's head suddenly rose from the ground, emerging from under the crisscrossing vines and branches. The lines on the surface of its body were like cracks on the bark of an ancient tree. Its two huge nostrils were big enough for people to crawl in directly. The low growls of the beast sounded like muffled thunder.
Such a huge Vicious Beast was so close to them, yet it was hidden so well! They didn't feel its breath at all just now!
The people in the group glared at Shao Xuan. This guy just told them not to worry. What was this?!
Not to worry, my ass! They almost peed their pants, okay?!
As if he knew what the people in the group were going to say, Shao Xuan lifted his chin and pointed at the fierce beast. "Don't just look. Do it. It's tonight's dinner!"
The others: "…"
Without waiting for the others' reactions, the five Yanjiao people had already picked up their weapons and rushed over.
"Roar —" The giant beast let out a roar of provocation.
On the other side, Shao Xuan's group of five exploded with their peak totemic power at almost the same time. Their vast auras directly pressed against the fierce beast not far away.
Neither man nor beast backed down. The tyrannical auras collided in this cramped place.
On the tangled vines, leaves flew out of the vines as if they were suddenly torn off by someone.
The dense foliage of the shrubs swayed violently, making rustling sounds like a rainstorm.
Under the impact of the two auras, those who were close to them could feel the creaking of their bones. It was as if they were a lonely boat under the waves.
Once they were in a hunting mode, the Yanjiao people couldn't be distracted. This was what they were best at and loved.
When facing people, they had to consider too many things. Many times, it wasn't as if you were stronger than your opponent that you would have a good ending. The human heart was complicated and difficult to understand. This was something the Yanjiao people only understood after coming into contact with other tribes.
It was because of this understanding that many Yanjiao people preferred to hunt in the mountains and forests. In times of crisis, it made people's blood boil, and it was a carefree exercise.
Perhaps some of the smarter and more cunning beasts would occasionally do something surprising, but that was rare. Most of the time, the beasts relied on their own advantages to start a battle for survival.
As a hunter, as long as they were stronger than you, that was enough. It was a simple law of the jungle.
The roars of the beasts, the sounds of sharp and blunt weapons hitting each other, and the whirling waves of air, all of the animals hiding in the surroundings were frightened and fled in all directions.
The people from the other tribes stood to the side, watching the five Yanjiao people use the most direct and barbaric method to hunt.
The Yanjiao people were really fierce!!
