The Mountain Tigers' tribe in the Vierlin Plains.
Taiga Roar was the current chief of the Mountain Tigers' tribe.
Though he was of normal nonhuman bloodline and not a nonhuman with special abilities like Hyaena, the Hyena-man King, the Mountain Tigers trusted his rule and management very much.
And Taiga had used his actions to prove that their trust was not misplaced. In a brief dozen years, the entire tribe's population had directly doubled.
On top of that, he had learned a lot of domestication and farming skills from other non-human tribes. Even though the population of his tribe had doubled, he was still able to provide his tribesmen with sufficient or even surplus food.
After that, he called upon the Mountain Tigers to train at a fixed time every day. After years of hard work and tireless training, the tribe's physique was further improved, and the Tigermen who were already among the best of all nonhumans became even more intimidating!
If not for Swordtail Grayclaw, an extraordinary being who had appeared in the Grayclaw tribe and elevated their tribe's ability far above other nonhuman tribes, the Mountain Tigers would have been the one in charge of the Vierlin Plains instead of the Grayclaw tribe.
Be that as it may, the tribesmen found Taiga's behavior rather unusual.
Everything began half a month ago. During a routine farming expedition, some of the clansmen dug up an underground mausoleum that had already been mostly discovered.
There was no way to find out who the owner of the mausoleum was. It seemed to have been robbed, and the funerary utensils that symbolized the identity of the owner had disappeared. Judging from the corner of the mausoleum, it was originally quite grand, and there should have been a lot of funerary objects. Now, there were only a lot of broken bones.
Curiously, the bones were very intact and did not suffer any powerful blows — they must have been victims who were knocked unconscious and suffocated to death.
And what was surrounded by the bones was a stone coffin.
It was covered in all sorts of scratches, and the grave robbers who had raided the tomb seemed to have tried very hard to open the coffin and steal the funerary objects within.
Still, it was clear that they did not succeed from the way the coffin was still tightly sealed.
Not only that, but some of the clansmen soon discovered that among the skeletons buried with them, there were a few corpses that had aged differently from the other corpses.
Could it be that the tomb robbers triggered some sort of mechanism and were unable to leave the tomb?
Taiga also tried to get his clansmen to open the sarcophagus, but they failed as well. The lid of the sarcophagus and the sarcophagus below seemed to be a single piece of rock that could not be pried open at all.
Even if they wanted to use brute force to break open the sarcophagus, it was still useless. No matter how hard they tried to attack with stones or blunt weapons like warhammers, the sarcophagus did not budge at all.
Originally, Taiga had already given up, not planning on continuing to care about this stone coffin. He had his clansmen carry it away so that it wouldn't affect the farming.
A few days later, the coffin opened on its own.
Inside, there was a creature that did not have any beastly characteristics of an Inhuman. It looked like a human male.
Taiga had been startled by the other party, thinking that it was just an ordinary undead creature, but he discovered that it actually had a consciousness.
Although he didn't know how to speak in the beginning, after a short three days, he had completely mastered the language of rest.
The man who had awakened in the sarcophagus called himself a Night Noble. His name was not mentioned, but his surname appeared to be Vlad, and he was a Night Descendant who survived from ancient times.
Still, Taiga had a feeling that he was a vampire judging from his pale skin.
The nature of vampires had been discussed by the human academic community for a long time. Most people thought that they were a kind of undead creature or a manifestation of the devil. There were also a few scholars who thought that vampires were the descendants of the ancient race, the Night Devils.
Still, vampires were a symbol of misfortune for nonhumans, and encountering one was nothing to be happy about.
It was fortunate that the other party soon showed him his worth — he could read the information in the blood of the Mountain Tigers, and use his own vitality to activate the power of an ancient race in their veins.
And now, there were three warriors with ancient bloodlines in the tribe: the Saber-Toothed Tiger Warrior, the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior, and the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior!
Although their power alone was not enough to stand against Swordtail Grayclaw, it was enough for the Mountain Tigers to continue their legacy and grow stronger!
Meanwhile, Vlad the vampire returned to the sarcophagus and fell into slumber.
Before he fell into slumber, he had told Taiga that fresh blood would help him recover his strength faster.
Still, Taiga was rather wary of the mysterious vampire at the time, which was why he did not pay attention to him.
At first, Taiga had thought that the Mountain Tigers would be the second largest tribe of nonhumans, but he did not expect the Hyena-men to have a being that stood at the pinnacle, the 'King of Hyena-men'.
Meanwhile, the three warriors with ancient bloodlines had stirred up trouble.
The Immemorial Saber-toothed Tiger Warrior was rebellious and unruly. After he failed to covet the position of Great Chieftain, he left the Mountain Tiger Tribe, seemingly pledging his loyalty to Swordtail Grayclaw. Not long after that, he died in battle somewhere unknown. The Saber-toothed Tiger totem that had lit up with great difficulty disappeared from the tribe's bloodline totem once again.
Still, the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior was unable to move freely because his heart would overheat and melt if he used even the slightest bit of bloodline power. All he could do was train in the basement, and it had been some time since he showed up.
Only the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior was normal, and Taiga had already decided that he would be the next Great Chief's successor.
Therefore, only one of the three ancient warriors could move normally, which clearly did not match his initial expectations. Moreover, whether it was a coincidence or fate, the world seemed to have entered an age of great change after the end of winter, with many beings that would have appeared only after a long time had arisen.
Troubled internally and externally, Taiga was very worried about the future, which was why he further pinned his hopes on the 'cheat' of his tribe — the vampires!
Therefore, he let go of his fear of vampires and began to ignore the opposition of his clansmen. He collected all kinds of fresh blood in large amounts and poured it into the stone coffins, hoping that this action would allow the other party to recover as soon as possible and awaken the power hidden in more of his clansmen's bloodlines, allowing the Mountain Tigers to become great again!
