Taiga sharply sensed that something was wrong when the Players appeared in droves inside the Long Ears' village.
He had a vague feeling that these human-like fellows who appeared in the Long Ears' village had something to do with the death of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Warrior.
But be it the Mountain Tigers' position or his position, Taiga was not allowed to test the players himself.
That was why he simply sent his trusted subordinate, the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior, to use some benefits to incite his mortal enemy, the Hyena-men, to attack the Long Ears and test those human-like creatures.
And just as expected, their minds were not much smarter even with the presence of the Hyena-men King, and they easily agreed to the Long Ears' request, mobilizing their entire tribe to attack the Long Ears.
In the eyes of the Hyena-men, their expedition was no different from a buffet at the canteen. After all, the Long Ears were too weak individually, and even if they had the incredible skill of witchcraft, there were few who could master it due to the difficulty of inheriting it.
But the first thing they bit into was a stainless steel pressure cooker. Not only did they not get to eat meat, their mouths were filled with blood and half of their teeth were broken.
The Hyena-men tried to show off their shamelessness even after suffering a great loss, but were still pinned to the ground by the human-like creatures and rubbed against each other rhythmically.
Finally realizing that they had provoked a being they couldn't afford to, the Hyena-men led the remaining half of their defeated army and fled the battlefield with their tails between their legs.
Even as Taiga reevaluated the Players' combat ability after learning the news, he was also very interested in the Hyena-men who were left with only a bunch of wounded soldiers and no morale.
It was possible for nonhumans to coexist, but such a coexistence would usually result in a superior and subordinate relationship between two different species of nonhumans.
If the Mountain Tigers could seize the opportunity to recruit the Hyena-men, not only would they solve the problem of the Hyena-men King, they would also greatly improve their own side's ability. Not only would they not have to fear the human-like creatures that appeared among the Long Ears, Taiga would even dare to stroke Swordtail Grayclaw's beard!
That was why he sent his trusted subordinate, the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior, to convince the Hyena-men to surrender.
It should not have been a difficult task.
It was fine even if the Hyena-men were unwilling to join the Mountain Tigers since the experiment was a product of Taiga's whim.
Even if the Hyena-men turned hostile on the spot, it wouldn't be difficult for the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior to break free of their encirclement and escape.
Even so, it had been a long time since the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior had departed, and there was no sign of him returning!
Did he encounter some kind of trouble?
If it wasn't for the fact that the totem of the Ancient Empire's Wrath Tiger hadn't disappeared, Taiga would've taken the army over to take a look.
That was when Taiga's subordinates reported that the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior had finally returned to the tribe.
He hurriedly went out to welcome them.
At first, Taiga had wanted to reprimand the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior for being too slow.
But when he saw the look on the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior's face, his reprimand was stuck in his throat. He couldn't say a single word.
There was only one word to describe the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior's appearance right now:
His cloak was nowhere to be seen, and his body was covered in filth and mud, with all sorts of tiny shreds and dried leaves mixed among his fur. Moreover, his entire body was covered in wounds of varying sizes!
There were burns, frostbite, bite wounds, sword wounds, spear wounds, piercing wounds, meteor hammer wounds, blunt force wounds, as well as strangulation wounds and weird sucker scars left after a violent bondage … and many of them were dripping with blood …
Taiga couldn't help being shocked. What kind of terrible battle did he have to go through to leave so many wounds on his body?!
It wasn't just the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior. The Hyena-men who returned to the Mountain Tigers' tribe with him were all wounded, and their numbers had dropped from around three hundred to around a hundred!
The first thing the Hyena-men did after reaching safety was to lie down and sleep. Even so, they would cling tightly to their weapons even in their dreams, and they would wake up with a start if anyone touched their weapon or made the slightest noise, before attacking the stranger with a look of panic and hysteria.
"What … did you guys run into?" Taiga asked the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior, who was the only rational one among them.
"Humans." The Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior was wolfing down the meat pie Taiga had provided him with a look of lingering fear. "At first, there were only two humans, one fat and the other skinny, but more and more of them appeared, saying things like 'the Koi Brothers weren't lying after all — there really was a wave of death' and attacking us fearlessly. It doesn't matter how many we kill, since they keep coming at us like locusts … and their corpses would disappear after some time after they die, so they can't even be used as food."
At that, the Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior shuddered. "They would attack you no matter what you were doing, eating, sleeping, or even using the toilet. They would fight you to the death whether you fought them bravely or ran away cowardly, and there would be no return for those who were separated from the main group. To avoid their encirclement, I even changed directions a few times on my way back … but it was useless. "
The Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior's expression was contorted just like the Hyena-men, though there was no telling if it was fear or hatred. "If a single human finds out where we are, there would be an endless stream of people swarming toward us even if we kill them in time! Chieftain, can you understand? When those humans saw us, it was as if they saw a treasure. They rushed over excitedly. Even when I chopped off their heads, they still had excited smiles on their faces. Can you understand that kind of strange scene? "
Who would understand what you're saying?
Taiga Roar roared inwardly, although he knew that he couldn't say that out loud. The Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior's terrible state was a clear indication that he had done his best in the process of fleeing back to his tribe.
Thinking of this, Taiga's heart skipped a beat and his expression turned cold. "Wait a minute … Then do you think those humans who followed you here will discover our tribe?"
The Ancient Imperial Wrath Tiger Warrior looked up at Taiga with a pastry in his mouth. His eyes were so numb that Taiga's heart kept sinking.
