Xia looked at Shang's back and could not help but feel his heart palpitate.
For some reason, he felt that something bad was about to happen, but he did not know where it would come from.
At this moment, a young girl who was singing and dancing beside the bonfire attracted his attention.
That was' Xia ', a girl he liked very much. Tonight, she might choose the person she loved the most.
Xia took a big bite of his fruit and entered the field, showing off his tall body and strong muscles.
…
The celebration gradually reached its climax.
The atmosphere was very lively, dispelling the darkness and coldness.
Suddenly, a dog's bark tore through the joyous atmosphere.
The sound of fences collapsing came from the periphery of the tribe, followed by the screams of the tribesmen.
"Ah!"
A mutilated corpse was thrown into the bonfire, causing the tribesmen to scream. The men all picked up their bone weapons.
"Woof woof!"
Accompanied by the barking of a dog, a strange beast that looked like a tiger but was covered in porcupine fur charged into the bonfire.
"It's the strange beast Qiong Qi!"
High priest Jian Di shouted, "Hunting team, attack!"
It was very common for primitive tribes to be attacked by strange beasts. Moreover, Qiong Qi loved to eat humans and was a common natural disaster.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
A few hunting team members shouted and shot out bone arrows. They landed on the surface of Qiong Qi's body, but could not even pierce through its fur.
Qiong Qi howled like a dog, its claws pressed down on a woman who was running away, and it opened its bloody mouth.
Crack!
This bloody scene caused Xia's eyes to turn red.
Because Qiong Qi had bitten his most beloved Xia to death!
"I'll kill you!"
Xia howled and wanted to charge forward, but was held back by an old man, "Don't go to your death, we are no match for the strange beast. Let it eat, it will leave after it is full."
This was the tragedy of the human race!
Jian Di shouted, "Shang? Where is Shang? "
She, who did not see her son, immediately grabbed a bow and arrow, nocked an arrow, and shot it.
Poof!
This arrow hit Qiong Qi's eye.
The tiger-like Qiong Qi howled in pain, turned to look at Jian Di, and fiercely pounced.
The warriors who blocked its way were all bitten to death.
Then, he arrived in front of Jian Di and pressed his tiger claws down.
Jian Di dodged awkwardly and rolled on the ground. The scepter that represented the High Priest rolled to one side, and the gorgeous and bright headdress was scattered on the ground.
"Don't you dare hurt him, Shang is here!"
At the crucial moment, a figure pounced out. It was Shang!
He ran as if he was flying and punched like a hammer. He punched Qiong Qi's head and pushed it back a few steps.
Qiong Qi shook its head and barked. All the spikes on its body stood straight up as it growled threateningly.
Shang Ling wasn't afraid at all. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Qiongqi's head, and started beating it.
Pu, pu!
Suddenly, the spikes on Qiong Qi's body shot out like a rain of arrows.
However, when they landed on Shang's body, there was a tinkling sound.
Invulnerable to swords and spears!
This was the bloodline divine art that Shang had obtained!
Bang!
Punch after punch seemed to smash into the hearts of every tribesman. They stared blankly at Shang, watching as Shang killed Qiong Qi and cut off his head. He raised it up high and roared loudly.
"High Priest!"
"High Priest!"
Suddenly, a hunting squad member knelt down and shouted.
The people knelt down one after another, their voices rising in volume.
Primitive tribes didn't have many rules to begin with. The most important rule was that the strong were respected.
Jian Di looked at this scene with a complicated expression. He picked up the scepter that had fallen and handed it to Shang.
Shang raised the scepter high and drew even louder cheers.
After all, the ancestors had suffered too much at the hands of the beasts.
And Shang was the only expert who could kill the beasts!
"I hereby announce … that the You Gu Tribe will be renamed to 'Shangyi'! I will lead you to annex other tribes. Their men will fight for us and their women will reproduce for us … Our 'Shangyi' will be the strongest tribe in the great wilderness! "
Shang announced loudly, his face flushed with excitement.
Xia was mixed in the crowd and stared blankly at his comrade, feeling that he had become a stranger …
…
Shang was a mighty leader.
Ever since he had taken control of the tribe, he had actively attacked and defeated the smaller tribes nearby and annexed them completely.
At this time, the ancestors were as barbaric as the ancient nomads of the grasslands. They had no qualms about joining another tribe.
This was an era where a person's bravery and charisma could decide most things. Shang's bravery was also a great rallying power.
Moreover, not only did Shang kill beast after beast, he also tamed the Nine-colored Ox and Wind Horse, as well as pigs, dogs, chickens, and other domestic animals. He tried to rear them with great success.
Not only that, after moving the capital to 'Yin Land', Shang also issued a decree to establish a nation called 'Shang', calling the people of the tribe 'people of the country' and the rest 'savages'. He also enfeoffed a group of nobles and encouraged them to lead their people to annex the lands of the savages and enslave them.
During this time, although Xia and Shang were at odds, he still became one of the three hundred nobles of Shang because he invented a method to smelt bronze and forged bronze weapons.
In the end, Shangyi's rapid development aroused the wariness of the surrounding large tribes.
The Wei, Gu, Kunwu, and other large tribes quickly joined forces and formed an army of more than twenty thousand to fight the decisive battle at Mingtiao and Shangyi.
At this time, Shang led an integrated army of five thousand into battle, but he was very confident.
In the battle of Mingtiao, Shang first had his five thousand soldiers get into formation. With neat square formations and sharp bronze weapons, he fiercely intimidated the morale of the Wei, Gu, and Kunwu coalition.
Then, he drove the bronze chariot and charged into the Allied Army's formation alone. He allowed the stone axes and bone arrows to land on his body, but he wasn't injured at all. Moreover, he took the opportunity to kill the Allied Army's commander, Fault!
Then, the five thousand Shang army charged, and the coalition fell into chaos and suffered a crushing defeat!
Thus, the Great Shang ruled over the heart of the eastern region of the great wilderness. Shang ordered people to write and call it the 'Shang language'. He also set up official positions, such as the 'Prime Minister' who assisted Shang in decision-making, the 'Inner Custodian' who was in charge of divination, sacrifices, and ancient records, the 'Zhu You' who was in charge of praying to ghosts and gods, and the 'Grand Tutor' who was in charge of music and so on …
Moreover, with the momentum of his great victory, Shang called himself 'King Xuan', also known as the 'Son of Shang', to show that he was the Son of Heaven's Mandate and righteousness. He announced that from now on, the position of King and Son of Heaven was hereditary and must be held by his son.
In addition, Shang also announced that the other nobles' titles and official positions would be inherited by their sons. Thus, he received the absolute support of the nobles.
The Great Shang Dynasty was established, and from then on, the world went from a public one to a private one …
