Chapter 73 - Hunting the Barosaurus (2/2)
Now that they were selling out the Big Bear Tribe, they were very unhappy and uncomfortable, but it had to be said that… They hoped the Big Bear Tribe was a bit more powerful. It would be best if they could destroy the Giant Tiger Tribe.
“Go. Let’s go and take a look.” Mao Huo ordered.
“My lord, the Big Bear Tribe is very powerful, and they have a priest…” The people from the Green Hill Tribe hesitated.
“Any priest in this kind of place definitely isn’t a proper priest!” Mao Huo didn’t think this was a big deal, but he was still a bit more careful. He pointed to two of the people from his own tribe who had smaller animal forms and told them to go and investigate the Big Bear Tribe. After thinking about it, he ordered one of the two people from the Green Hill Tribe to go with them.
Of the two people from the Giant Tiger Tribe who had been sent to investigate, one was a weasel, and the other was a mouse. As for the person from the Green Hill Tribe, his animal form was a rather rare one. He was a lemur.
Lemurs were the smallest variety of monkey. The largest of the species only reached about half a kilogram, while the smallest was only ten centimeters long and weighed approximately thirty grams.
This member of the Green Hill Tribe just happened to be the smallest kind of lemur.
When the Giant Tiger Tribe attacked the Green Hill Tribe, he had changed into his animal form and hidden. The people of the Giant Tiger Tribe hadn’t discovered him at all, but he was still very young, only twelve years old, and his animal form was very weak. Although he had managed to hide and avoid notice, he had ultimately gone back to look for his parents and had then been caught by the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe.
Of the two people that the Giant Tiger Tribe had brought with them, one was him, and the other was his father.
“You’d better be obedient. Otherwise, I’ll kill your father.” Mao Huo threatened the lemur coldly before they set out.
The little lemur nodded, and then he was fiercely gripped in the weasel’s mouth as they headed towards the Big Bear Tribe.
Recently, due to the raising of fish and other such endeavors, a large area near the Big Bear Tribe had been cleared out, leaving more places for the children of the tribe to safely play in. The priest had also arranged some work for them to do, such as planting fruit trees near the tribe and other such things.
These children used to lie in the collective area and do nothing in order to conserve energy due to lack of food, but it was different now. They had enough to eat and ran around everywhere in the tribe as they played.
Those who hadn’t yet awakened an animal form played as humans, while those who had awakened an animal form would occasionally turn into animals to play.
Mao Jin had turned into her animal form.
She had felt very uncomfortable after killing a person a few days ago, but her mentality changed after Bao Yu praised her, and she felt that she was now incredibly fierce.
She had always felt that since her animal form was so small, she definitely wouldn’t be able to become a warrior. Unexpectedly, that wasn’t the case!
Mao Jin was now learning how to hunt!
While she was catching frogs for fun, Mao Jin suddenly scented… prey!
She immediately ran out and then discovered a… mouse?
This mouse didn’t belong to their tribe!
If it was a friendly person who was coming to their tribe, they would at least turn into their human forms to greet the children when they saw them. How come this person seemed to be sneaking along the side…
Mao Jin suddenly recalled what the people of the tribe had said about the Giant Tiger Tribe… She pounced over and bit the mouse.
The mouse ‘squeaked’ and turned back into his human form, but there were already several big bloody wounds on his stomach. Meanwhile, another weasel beside it turned around and fled.
However, there was still another little fellow that hadn’t run. Mao Jin was just planning to catch that one when she saw that that unknown little animal suddenly turned back into human form. He began to kowtow at her while pleading, “Don’t eat me, don’t eat me wuwuwu…”
Mao Jin: “……” You’ve already turned back so big, do you really think I can eat you? Besides, I don’t eat people!
Mao Jin didn’t hesitate before turning back into human form herself and shouting, “There are enemies!”
Although the mouse who had turned back into human form had been wounded from Mao Jin’s bite, Mao Jin had known that it was a human when she had pounced and therefore hadn’t used much force. She hadn’t bitten him to death, so at this moment he was covering the wounds on his stomach with his hands as he tried to run. The people from the gathering team, who were nearby and watching over the children as they worked, ran over and threw a net at him when they came close.
This net had been used before to catch fish. It still carried the stench of fish as it covered his head, preventing his escape.
“There was a weasel who ran away!” Mao Jin exclaimed.
“I’ll have someone go to the tribe and let them know!” Someone from the gathering team spoke up. They didn’t know what to do when encountering this kind of situation––Xiong He and Xiong Ye weren’t here!
However, one thing was clear. They couldn’t let that weasel enter their tribe!
The weasel hadn’t run to the Big Bear Tribe. It had already run away and had swiftly fled back to Mao Huo’s side. He had always been timid from a young age and seeing that Mao Jin had bitten through his companion’s stomach, he had been practically scared to death.
Even though, his animal form was actually the same size as Mao Jin’s.
“Did you find anything?” Mao Huo asked.
“No… No…” That weasel shifted back into human form and subconsciously tried to shirk responsibility, “The Big Bear Tribe is too powerful. The two that went with me have probably lost their lives.”
“You’re kidding me, right?” Mao Huo sneered. “How powerful can a mere Big Bear Tribe be? Did you guys accidentally reveal yourselves?”
“The Big Bear Tribe is really powerful. I heard the people of the Big Bear Tribe say that they were going to go catch a Barosaurus.” The weasel insisted. Before, when those children had been playing, he had heard them talking about wanting to eat Barosaurus meat.
“With their ability, they want to catch a Barosaurus?” Mao Huo sneered again. He was just about to send someone to go and investigate again when the earth suddenly trembled.
Mao Huo was shocked and immediately climbed up a tree. He then saw a huge Barosaurus topple over and fall to the ground, rolling and twitching as it convulsed.
This… Had they really gone to catch a Barosaurus?
Exactly how terrifying was this Big Bear Tribe?!
