Chapter 379 Beast Fighting Performance
Chapter 379 Beast Fighting Performance
After Lin Liuyi followed Ming around the tribe, she gained some understanding of their tribe.
The White Tiger tribe is developing better than she imagined. Along the way, she not only saw some powerful beastmen such as bear beastmen and wolf beastmen, but also some weaker beastmen such as rabbit beastmen and bird beastmen.
Ming seemed to sense Lin Liuyi's confusion. "Are you wondering why our tribe would take in these weak beastmen? Actually, although they are weak, they are quite capable. The rabbit beastmen can find many plants that we overlook; they found the carrots and potatoes in the tribe. The bird beastmen helped us find grains. There are also some rodent beastmen who can help dig burrows and are very good at farming. The cat beastmen are agile when gathering and can gather even more things. In my opinion, no beastman is useless; they're just not in the right place."
Lin Liu nodded in agreement. He had to admit it; Ming was truly a born leader.
Ming smiled and remained silent when he heard the praise.
In fact, the reason why those orcs joined the White Tiger tribe so readily, besides food and wanting to find a backer, was primarily because of their medical skills.
The Orcish Continent only had witch doctors, and their skills far surpassed those of the medical techniques given by Shang Lin Liu Yi. Some small tribes didn't even have witch doctors, which is why the Orcs joined so readily when they learned that the White Tiger Tribe possessed medical skills.
Ming didn't intend to explain these things to Lin Liuyi, but she always remembered Lin Liuyi's kindness in her heart.
As the last rays of sunlight were swallowed by the mountains, a roaring bonfire shot into the sky in the open space in the center of the village, illuminating the surrounding houses and stone altars as if it were daytime.
Towering animal bone totems stood tall, war drums boomed, and the air was filled with the smoky aroma of roasted meat and the sweet scent of fermented berry wine, mixed with the scents of various orcs.
The White Tiger Tribe's tribal assembly and celebration officially began.
It started with a speech by Ming, the clan leader.
"People of the tribe! Tonight, we stand amidst flames and war drums, under the watchful gaze of our ancestors!"
"The earth has bestowed upon us a bountiful harvest! Our granaries are filled with game, and the heads of ferocious beasts adorn our totems! This is a feast for the tribe!"
“Look around you! Look at your loved ones! Some are warriors, some are gatherers, some are sowers. In our tribe, no one is useless!”
"It is through your collective efforts that our tribe has grown so strong!"
"For the future of our tribe! We must keep striving! To make our tribe even stronger!"
No wonder he's a born leader! These words ignited the passion of the entire tribe!
"Powerful! Powerful! Powerful!"
Yue and a group of friends were jumping around happily, cheering wildly for their older sister.
"Good! Tonight we drink and cheer, for a stronger tomorrow for our tribe! The celebration now officially begins!"
As soon as Ming finished speaking, another round of cheers erupted.
The tribespeople began to sing and dance, and the aroma of roasted meat became even stronger.
Lin Liuyi couldn't escape the enthusiastic atmosphere either; one minute she was dragged to dance, and the next she was stuffed with a meat skewer.
She was quite busy, and some clever orcs even showed their ears and tails so that Lin Liuyi could stroke them.
Tired from playing, Lin Liuyi finally sat back down next to Ming, while Yuezao ran off to play with her friends.
"So, is it interesting?"
Lin Liu nodded, finding it amusing that one big rabbit after another was being stuffed into her arms, along with kittens, puppies, and little foxes; she was simply too busy to keep up.
Even the two bears, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, tried to force their way in, scaring Lin Liuyi so much that he ran away.
Seeing Lin Liuyi's still shaken expression, Ming smiled and said, "Then take a break. The beast fighting performance is about to begin."
Lin Liuyi then noticed a person standing in the middle of the square, seemingly waiting for something.
"This is Tiger Claw, a warrior from our tribe. He is famous for his sharpest tiger claws!"
Then Lin Liuyi saw a giant saber-toothed beast bound by iron chains struggling wildly.
"Roar—" A deafening roar came from the beast cage, and the crowd immediately erupted in excitement, stopping everyone from dancing.
The women shrieked as they shook necklaces of bones, the men pounded their shields with stone axes, and the children climbed high and craned their necks.
Tiger Claw stood in the middle and pressed down with his hand, instantly silencing even the sound of chewing roasted meat.
"Bring the ferocious beast here!"
Before he finished speaking, four burly men had already pulled the rope.
The wooden bars of the animal cage collapsed with a crash, and an adult saber-toothed beast darted out like lightning.
It was taller than an adult male, with muscles rippling like waves beneath its glossy fur, and its amber pupils narrowed to two thin lines in the firelight.
It arched its back and let out a threatening growl.
Tiger Claw didn't back down either, "Come on, you ferocious beast!" he challenged.
The saber-toothed beast seemed to be provoked and suddenly lunged forward!
It charged straight at Tiger Claw, who rolled to the side to dodge.
By the time he got up, the saber-toothed beast had already turned around, its thick tail kicking up a cloud of dust.
A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.
The second attack came even faster, and Tiger Claw chose to block it with the side of the attack.
The stench of hot air hit his face. He turned his head and then stomped his foot hard, pushing forward.
It actually made the saber-toothed beast stagger backward.
Then the tiger claws began to exert their power, and he quickly transformed into a majestic tiger.
With a swift pounce, the tiger's sharp claws seized the saber-toothed beast's forelimb.
The saber-toothed beast jumped away in pain, leaving a bloody gash on its left forepaw.
It began circling, its yellow eyes fixed intently on the tiger's throat.
With a single strike, the saber-toothed beast's fangs aimed straight for the tiger's throat!
Tiger Claw did not back down, and leaped onto the saber-toothed beast's back.
Then it lay down, its sharp claws tearing open the saber-toothed beast's abdomen, causing the beast to tremble violently in pain.
The tiger claw pierced even deeper, and the saber-toothed beast let out a shrill howl, staggering and thrashing its body, trying to shake the tiger claw off.
The tiger's claws were indeed flung off, and with each breath, more blood gushed from the saber-toothed beast's abdomen.
But it did not fall; instead, the pain unleashed its final ferocity.
It gathered its strength again and launched its final attack. In the instant it charged, the tiger's claws swiftly blinded it and then delivered a deep swipe to its injured abdomen.
The saber-toothed beast collapsed to the ground with a thud, its intestines spilling out, and its breathing gradually ceased.
"We won! We won!"
"Tiger claw! Tiger claw!"
"Tribe! Tribe!"
The cheers of the crowd surged forth like a tidal wave, and the orcs began to chant ancient war songs, the drumbeats causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Lin Liuyi was also caught up in the enthusiastic atmosphere and cheered along with everyone.
