Chapter 99: An Unusual Mission

The dusk was getting deeper, the sun gradually withdrawing its yellow light, making the sky as black as the abyss.Not far from the Flame Dragon Tribe, there were several silhouettes, each dragging a huge creature behind them.

“The Hunting Team is back.” Someone in the Tribe shouted, and the Tribe, which had been quiet due to nightfall, suddenly became lively.

Children and adults all ran to the outer region of the Tribe to welcome the return of the Hunting Team. Every time the Hunting Team came back from hunting, it always attracted everyone’s attention.

Yan Jiao and Cang Shi had been waiting outside the Tribe for a while, wanting to see how this hunt had gone.

“Team Leader, we’re back,” Da Gua said, standing straight.

Cang Shi looked at the prey behind them, his face full of satisfaction as he praised, “Not bad. You’ve gotten more prey than we expected.”

“Yes, it’s enough for the Tribe to eat for quite a while,” Yan Jiao nodded with satisfaction.

Cang Shi noticed a Six Eyed Red Bird behind Ye Jiu, his brows slightly furrowed. He asked worriedly, “Did anyone get injured?”

Yan Jiao noticed Cang Shi’s subtle expression and followed his gaze, also seeing that Ferocious Beast.

He scanned the Totem Warriors who went hunting. After making sure no one was injured, he asked, “Where was this Ferocious Beast hunted?”

Yan Jiao knew about the ferocity of the Six Eyed Red Bird, its running speed, and its destructive power was not something to be underestimated.

For Wa Ming and the other Early-Stage Totem Warriors, defeating a Six Eyed Red Bird would be a tall order. Yet, they managed to hunt one down and bring it back.

Although this Six Eyed Red Bird was a Pure Blood Ferocious Beast, this species was known for its speed, and it was also a Collective Type of Ferocious Beast. It would be quite challenging to deal with them. Unless one had extremely strong reflexes.

“No one was injured. This Ferocious Beast was hunted in the previous Hunting Ground,” Da Gua reported.

“This time, we owe it to Ye Jiu. Without her, we might not have been able to get out of that situation so smoothly.” Wa Ming said gratefully.

“Yes, we really owe it to her. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have known how to deal with it. It was our first time seeing this kind of Ferocious Beast.” Another Totem Warrior said.

Cang Shi walked up to the Six Eyed Red Bird and found that there was only one wound on its entire body, which was a cut on its neck. Except for that, there were no other wounds. It could be said that it was killed with one strike, which was remarkable considering the Six Eyed Red Bird’s speed.

With only one wound on its body and no others, it seemed a bit unsettling when one thought about it. After all, this clearly showed the Six Eyed Red Bird was subdued in one move, without any additional struggle.

Cang Shi turned around and seriously asked, “Ye Jiu, tell me how you take down the Six Eyed Red Bird?”

“Did you forget about your task? We need to take her to see the Shaman first,” Yan Jiao reminded.

Cang Shi slapped his forehead and said, “Ah! I almost forgot. Da Gua, Wa Ming, you can take the prey in and rest first.”

“Yes, Team Leader,” Da Gua and the others nodded.

“The Shaman wants to see me?” Ye Jiu asked, puzzled.

Cang Shi nodded, walking in front, and said, “Come with me to see the Shaman. On the way, you can tell me how you took down the Six Eyed Red Bird.”

“Okay.” Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment before following, and began to recount, “At that time, we were in a forest filled with Red Fruit, when suddenly…”

A few minutes later, after hearing the wolf eared girl’ account, Cang Shi’s impression of her improved once again. He thought how not only was this wolf eared girl strong, but her adaptability and quick reaction were also all exceptional. [She is definitely someone who is suited to be a leader. Given time, she will surely become a great asset, able to improve the security of the Tribe.]

A few minutes later, Cang Shi brought the wolf eared girl to the Main Teepee. After getting permission, he lifted the door flap and walked in.

“Shaman, I’ve brought Ye Jiu. They’ve just returned from hunting,” Cang Shi said respectfully.

Ye Jiu put her left hand on her chest and softly greeted, “Shaman.”

She was still a bit surprised that Su Bai was the Shaman. After all, they had travelled together for so many days, and he had not revealed a hint of it.

Although Cang Shi had stepped aside, he was not relaxed at all. His eyes were fixed on the wolf eared girl.

If she made any moves, he was sure he could subdue her immediately.

Su Bai stopped what he was doing, looked up at the wolf eared girl, and smiled, “Welcome back.”

He noticed that Ye Jiu still had a lot of blood stains on her, and there were also many leaves in her hair.

Although she was not clean and tidy, Ye Jiu’s pretty face was still fully visible.

“Thank you, Shaman,” Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment. It was the first time someone had welcomed her.

“How did you feel about hunting with the Tribe’s people?” Su Bai asked.

“It felt just like my previous Tribe. The difference is your Shaman Bone Tablet. It is exceptionally effective.” Ye Jiu said without hesitation.

She had used them before, but never one with such strong effects. After using it, she did not feel weak or powerless.

Su Bai raised his eyebrows, a bit surprised that the wolf eared girl had actually used a Shaman Bone Tablet on this trip.

He put such thoughts aside and asked, “Tell me about this hunt. I’ve just heard the liveliness outside.”

“Yes, Shaman,” Ye Jiu nodded and repeated what she had told Cang Shi.

“Oh? Six Eyed Red Bird? Sounds interesting, I’ll take a look later,” Su Bai became interested in the Ferocious Beast.

“Shaman, the meat of this Ferocious Beast is exceptional. You can try it tonight,” Cang Shi added from the side.

As the Leader of the Hunting Team, he had naturally eaten this kind of Ferocious Beast Meat before.

“Shaman, why did you call me here?” Ye Jiu softly asked.

Su Bai took a sip of water, looked at the wolf eared girl seriously, and said in a deep voice, “There’s something I need you to do.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Ye Jiu also became solemn and responded without hesitation, “Please instruct me, Shaman.”

“This matter is not so simple, and it’s a bit dangerous. You need to be mentally prepared for it.” Su Bai said slowly and clearly.

“As long as it’s the Shaman’s order, I will do my best to complete it.” Ye Jiu’s grey eyes flashed with sharpness.

Cang Shi, standing to the side, somehow also suddenly became tense.

Silavin: I felt like there was a drop in quality over the past twenty chapters. The flow is always so abrupt if not too slow in certain places. Maybe it’s just me? Well, this chapter and the next one is okay.
