Sha Lan nodded heavily, her blue eyes full of wonder. [The Hunting Ground forest is very different from ordinary forests.]
She jumped onto another vine, saying, “No wonder Mother told to be especially careful.”
“Didn’t she end up coming along?” Yan Hua covered her mouth and laughed.
When Sha Hong learned her Daughter had been chosen, she had not wanted them to be separated. However, thinking it would be a good training experience, she still allowed it. That was until she heard the Shaman was going as well. Once she heard this, she could not take the risk and chose to join in as well.
In her days since arriving at the Tribe, she had witnessed the Tribe’s changes and naturally ca to deeply respect the new Shaman.
“She’s concerned about the Shaman’s safety. In the end, everything has been arranged by your Father. He was the one that said a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior needed to join in, to prevent any incidents.” Sha Lan said softly.
“That’s true, the Hunting Ground looks very dangerous.” Yan Hua agreed.
*Whoosh!* As the two girls were chatting, a large bird suddenly swooped down from above, flying over everyone’s heads, strangely dropping eight peculiar feathers.
*Whoosh!* Another gust of wind blew past as the large bird snatched away the ugly insect that had been on the tree.
After the large bird flew away, the forest returned to silence, with only occasional falling leaves.
Su Bai reached out to catch a feather falling from the sky and asked, “What kind of bird was that?”
“I don’t know. We rarely get to see it. Whenever it appears, it’s always like this.” Cang Shi shook his head.
Previously when this large bird appeared, it would always fly over the Hunting Team’s heads, leave so feathers, and then disappear.
*Rustle rustle rustle…* On a huge ancient tree ahead, there was a giant snake as thick as a water barrel. The snake’s scales had only one colour – green.
The green giant snake was coiled around the ancient tree, only occasionally moving. This type of giant snake was considered common in the Hunting Ground, and there were even larger ones.
The green giant snake seed well-fed, appearing lazy in its posture.
When the Hunting Team passed beneath it, on vines covered in moss, the green snake raised its head to look down.
It flicked its tongue indifferently, its brown vertical pupils showing no emotion, just coldly staring at the Hunting Team.
Feeling the cold gaze of the snake above, Su Bai softly said, “This snake’s hide could be used to make many drums. It might even be good for dicine.”
Not just that, snake hide could be used to make many things, including shields, artwork, and clothing.
Cang Shi imdiately stopped and turned to solemnly ask. “Shaman, is this giant snake useful to the Tribe?”
“It has so use, let’s skin it/” Su Bai thought that the green snakeskin would look good when made into drums.
“Understood.” Cang Shi imdiately responded.
He thought that whatever the Shaman needed should be prepared imdiately, as long as it was useful to the Tribe.
“Team Leader, let do it.” Ye Jiu looked at the green snake.
The wolf eared girl’s gaze had already turned sharp, and she readied her combat knife.
She was now at the a Peak Early-Stage Totem Warrior. She needed more Ferocious Beast kills to practise. She also needed to eat more Ferocious Beast at and Blood to nourish her Qi so that becoming a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior would not be too difficult.
“Be careful!” Cang Shi cautioned. Although this snake was smaller than the others, it was not to be taken lightly.
Ye Jiu nodded and first took out her recurve bow while holding the combat knife in her mouth.
*Step step step…* The wolf eared girl lightly jumped among the root systems on the ground, constantly seeking the snake’s vital point.
Totem Warriors knew the weak points of various Ferocious Beasts.
While striking a snake’s vital point was quite well known on Earth due to the internet, this was sothing Primitive Tribes had learned through raw survival experience.
A snake’s vital point was where its heart was located, striking there would severely wound it and make it easy to subdue.
The green giant snake kept moving, making its vital point hard to target. However, Ye Jiu’s grey eyes remained firmly fixed on it.
*Whoosh!*
*Hiss hiss…* With a whistling sound, the arrow from the recurve bow pierced directly into the green giant snake’s vital point.
The green giant snake kept hissing, its long tongue flicking non-stop. After struggling violently for a mont, it slowly began to slump down.
Ye Jiu put away her recurve bow and took out the combat knife from her mouth. She soon jumped through the interlacing branches to the snake.
With a swift stroke of her knife, the green giant snake’s life was ended. The wolf eared girl soon skillfully stripped off its hide fully intact.
“Shaman, it’s done.” Ye Jiu efficiently handed over the snake hide.
This was Su Bai’s first ti seeing the wolf eared girl hunt a Ferocious Beast. He had not expected her to be so composed and efficient. Every movent was decisive and clean, inspiring admiration.
“Store it away, let’s continue forward!” Su Bai nodded.
Yan Hua had watched the whole scene and was amazed.
She elbowed the cat eared girl beside her, generously praising, “Did you see that? That was really amazing!”
Sha Lan strongly agreed, as could be seen from her continuous nodding. “Yes, when can we beco that skillful?”
“We must work harder.” Yan Hua’s red eyes were filled with determination.
The desire to beco a Totem Warrior burned even stronger in her heart, wanting to beco a warrior like the wolf eared girl as soon as possible.
As for Sha Lan, since her Mother was a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior, she also greatly admired such strength.
As the Hunting Team proceeded, Su Bai saw many Ferocious Beasts and wild beasts, including enormous beasts and so unnad creatures.
Of course, they could also see small beasts darting through the undergrowth, as well as various insects on the ground and tree bark.
However, the Hunting Team did not slow down to look at these beasts, except for particularly large Ferocious Beasts that they might consider hunting down.
The Hunting Team and Su Bai had only one goal – heading straight toward the mountain ahead.
As they got closer to the mountain, the surrounding plant species changed, and the towering ancient trees from earlier beca increasingly sparse.
The Hunting Team no longer travelled through the trees but slowly ca down to a dirt ground.
Cang Shi made a hand signal to the Totem Warriors behind him, and instantly, the eight warriors spread out around them.
They needed to check if any threatening Ferocious Beasts were nearby, They would only continue forward after confirming it was safe.
