Chapter 10 Giant Beast
comeback
The Salt Tribe is the largest tribe here, and they know exactly which smaller tribes live in this land.
When the drastically changed Wood Tribe appeared, it immediately sparked much discussion in the Salt Tribe.
"Which tribe is that ahead? I've never seen it before." Lang Yu from the Salt Tribe stared at Shen Nong with a critical eye. "That pale, skinny guy is dressed really strangely."
Leopard Autumn frowned slightly as he examined the green markings painted on the other person's face.
Only the people of the Wood Tribe have a green stripe painted on each side of their cheeks, but if Leopard Autumn is not mistaken, the orc warriors on the other side are all of high level.
There was even one like him, a level seven orc warrior.
They couldn't possibly be from the Wood Tribe.
If the Wood Tribe had level seven orc warriors, they wouldn't be afraid of cannibals.
"Should we still wait for the Wood Tribe to arrive?" Wolf Rain pricked up his ears, listening to the faint sounds coming from afar.
The beast tide was about to pass through here, and he had no time to care about an unfamiliar tribe. He only cared about whether the Salt Tribe could hunt enough prey this time.
"If they don't come soon, we'll just throw the Ze tribe out this time. They have 'divine blood,' so they can heal any wound, no matter how severe."
Leopard Autumn did not reply immediately, because his exceptional hearing allowed him to hear a familiar name, leaving him no time to attend to Wolf Rain's question.
"Tiger's Roar".
Tiger Roar of the Wood Tribe, the only level three orc warrior in the Wood Tribe, always manages to escape danger from the beast tides.
The Salt Department even made an exception and contacted him, hoping that he would join the Salt Department.
He carefully examined the level seven orc warrior called "Tiger Roar," confirming that he had never seen this person before, yet he felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
The Salt Tribe not only knew the various tribes living on this land very well, but also knew exactly which tribes had which high-ranking orc warriors.
Currently, all orc warriors of level 5 or higher from other tribes are in the Salt Tribe.
The salt ministry could provide them with an endless supply of salt rocks, inexhaustible animal hides, and better caves to live in...
They could even find female orcs in the Salt Province willing to bear their offspring.
No tribe has more female orcs than the Salt Tribe.
Similarly, no orc warrior would refuse to join the Salt Tribe.
But Tiger Roar was an exception; he was the only orc who refused to join the Salt Tribe.
Therefore, Leopard Autumn remembered the tiger's roar from the Wood Tribe.
After observing for a while, Leopard Autumn had to admit that those were indeed people from the Wood Tribe.
The Wood Tribe is slowly growing stronger without the Salt Tribe's knowledge.
When he realized this, Leopard Autumn did not think about why the Wood Tribe had changed so much in such a short time, but instead felt a sense of crisis as if he were surrounded by giant beasts.
His gaze fell on the strangely dressed person from the Wood Tribe.
Although he couldn't sense any orc power from this person, the orc warrior's strong sense of danger told Leopard Autumn that this person was very dangerous.
"Leopard Autumn? Leopard Autumn?" Wolf Rain called out several times but received no response.
He slapped Bao Qiu on the back with a "smack," and a large handprint instantly appeared on the exposed skin.
For a level seven orc warrior like Leopard Autumn, this pain was less than a mosquito bite.
He came to his senses and said to Wolf Rain, "The Wood Tribe has arrived."
Wolf Rain instinctively looked ahead, staring at the green markings on the faces of those people, and said with certainty, "It's them."
"Just like you said, this time we'll use the Ze tribe as bait."
Leopard Autumn could not ignore the sense of crisis brought to him by the strangely dressed person from the Wood Tribe.
After a moment's thought, he said to Lang Yu, "When the beast tide comes, have Mang Shan throw that strange-looking person from the Mu tribe into the beast tide."
Wolf Rain didn't ask why; as a level seven orc warrior, he felt the same way as Leopard Autumn.
But he lacked wisdom, and that's what the priests always said about him.
Therefore, Lang Yu developed the habit of listening to Bao Qiu. The priest had said that Bao Qiu was wise, so listening to Bao Qiu was never wrong.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The tremors, growing louder as they approached, signaled the imminent arrival of the beast tide. At this time, various tribes began to transform into beast forms, preparing to unleash their power.
After transforming into their beast forms, the Salt Tribe's orcs immediately surrounded the Ze Tribe.
They made an attacking gesture, forcing the Ze tribe to stand in front as bait.
The Ze tribe was somewhat flustered in the face of the Salt Tribe's threat.
They were also well aware that no tribe here could help them.
Because every time before, they had to force the Wood Tribe to act as bait for the beast tide, it was just that this time it was their turn.
Instead of struggling, we should figure out how to survive the beast tide.
If those useless orcs from the Wood Tribe can do it, then they certainly can too.
Shen Nong observed the undercurrents among the orcs from a distance.
Now I finally understand why the Wood Tribe was chosen as the vanguard before this.
It wasn't actually the vanguard, but rather the "bait".
The bait dies, so what? It's no big deal.
A hissing sound pulled Shen Nong back to his senses. He looked in the direction from which the beast tide was coming and his eyes widened in surprise.
this..
"Priest! Giant beasts! So many giant beasts!"
Tiger Roar looked eager to try, wishing he could plunge headfirst into the horde of beasts.
Shen Nong could hardly believe his eyes. He had studied prehistoric plants when he was doing plant research before.
He had also come into contact with some dinosaur fossils and the like, and the "giant beasts" in this beast tide looked so much like the dinosaur reconstructions he had seen in ancient books.
If these giant beasts are dinosaurs, then what he is seeing now is the Great Migration of dinosaurs.
However, Shen Nong was not a dinosaur specialist, so he could not be certain that these giant beasts were dinosaurs.
Moreover, the giant beasts in the beast tide looked even larger than the dinosaurs recorded in history.
There are almost no beasts under ten meters tall in the beast tide.
Most of them are beasts that are over thirty meters tall and sixty meters long, while the rest are giant beasts that are twice or even several times larger.
They huddled together, moving forward like a tide, shaking the earth, blocking out the sky and obscuring the sunlight.
Orcs will grow larger as their level increases when they transform into beast form.
Shen Nong looked at the largest cheetah among the beastmen after its transformation. It was ten meters tall, but it still looked small in front of the beast tide.
Not to mention the Ze tribe at the very front; those people were as small as ants in front of the unshakeable behemoths.
The scene before her was so shocking that Shen Nong felt her scalp tingle.
The giant beast trampled the Ze tribe's orcs who were blocking its way to the ground as if stepping on ants.
Blood flowed from beneath the enormous foot.
Without system tasks and without obtaining the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Wood Tribe would not have become stronger than the Ze Tribe.
The tribe that is dying now is the Wood Tribe.
Shen Nong intuitively realized what the law of the jungle meant.
I also fully understand that here, the weak are equal to death.
At the same time, other tribes also began attacking the giant beast.
Biting, pouncing, melee.
The Ze tribe members seemed to have nothing to do with this proactive hunt.
They, as the weak, served as "food" to lure the giant beasts.
They helped the Salt Tribe and any tribe stronger than themselves to successfully hunt giant beasts.
If the Ze tribe orcs fail to escape before the other tribes' warriors attack the behemoth, they will be severely injured by the behemoth, fall to the ground, and never be able to stand up again.
After being injured, his abilities were insufficient to maintain his beast form. His weak human body was less than an ant in front of the enormous beast.
Those "bait" that fail to help with the hunt not only face the threat of death from the giant beasts, but also suffer damage from orc warriors bearing the totems of various tribes.
Shen Nong watched as a fox-like beastman warrior with a snowflake totem on his forehead crushed the skull of a Ze tribe member who was no longer able to take human form.
A bloodcurdling scream filled the air, staining the ground crimson.
The leopard, also adorned with snowflake patterns, leaped into the air and clamped its jaws tightly around the neck of the long-necked behemoth.
The giant beast roared and swung its neck violently. The leopard's body was tossed back and forth in mid-air, but it refused to let go.
After most of the flesh and blood from the beast's neck was removed, the beast let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground.
The stench stirred up the beasts' instincts, and a horde of animals roared and howled.
My eyes were filled with bright red, which was dazzling and scorching.
Ze reached out and blocked Shen Nong's path; the tragic scene was replaced by a powerful palm.
Aside from the piercing roars and screams of beasts, a deep male voice rang out, "Don't look."
Ze's voice has changed recently; it's not quite the same as before.
