Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 547: Chapter 536 The Great Leader 54

The people on the giant bird’s back were forced to jump down to the ground by its sudden attack, so they could avoid the bird’s unconventional attacks.

The giant bird didn’t give up after its head attack missed. It swung its flexible neck and smashed its head towards the crowd like a hammer, so fast that the hunting team members couldn’t find the time to attack and could only dodge.

After dodging the head, the giant bird opened its wings and struck at the crowd with a sharp whoosh. Each time the wings hit the ground, they made the earth tremble.

The hunting team really faced this kind of attack for the first time, where the bird swung its neck like a whip and used its head as a weapon to strike people—a kind of attack that makes you wonder if it doesn’t get dizzy.

Because the bird was swinging its head too fast, everyone was holding back and couldn’t approach it closely. Yan Shuangshuang watched the bird swinging its neck and head like a meteor hammer, finding it interesting, with an itch in her hand.

However, Yan Shuangshuang knew that the hunting team could counter such an attack, so although she was tempted, she did not intervene but continued watching the show from the tree.

Meanwhile, the hunting team members were dodging attacks while discussing how to kill this bird with its strange attack style. As they discussed strategies, the group that was chased by the bird appeared.

These people carried huge stones, and upon arrival, they started throwing them at the bird. The stones hit the bird with a thud, but couldn’t knock off a single feather.

Occasionally, a stone collided with the bird’s head, but the stone shattered into pieces upon impact, showing how hard the bird’s head was!

Seeing their attacks were ineffective, fear and dread flickered in their eyes, but they didn’t run away, continuing to attack to relieve pressure on the hunting team attacking the bird.

Yan Shuangshuang rubbed her chin with her arms crossed, nodding in satisfaction. These primitive people behaved well; being weak is fine because a few days of full meals will strengthen even the weakest bodies, but bad character is the real trouble.

If these people had left without returning to help the hunting team, Yan Shuangshuang wouldn’t have done anything to them but would have given up on including them in the Yanhuang Tribe. People who lack gratitude shouldn’t be expected to show loyalty, such as noble traits.

The hunting team members below had already taken out the long spears made from the Earth King Beast’s back stabs strapped to their backs and started attacking the giant bird by throwing them. The sharpness of the Earth King Beast’s back stab surpassed scale armor, and the thrown spears easily pierced the giant bird’s body.

The next process was somewhat bloody; when the giant bird died, it resembled a porcupine, and the ground was stained with the bird’s blood everywhere. Yan Shuangshuang frowned at the sight; it seems everyone needs more training in combat power so that hunts can end with the fastest kills.

Watching the cheering hunting team members, Yan Shuangshuang couldn’t criticize their indifference to animal cruelty because she also killed animals for survival. But like her past self, who ate beef but couldn’t bear the cruelty of bullfighting, Yan Shuangshuang disliked torture killing.

With a long sigh, Yan Shuangshuang’s mouth involuntarily curled into a mocking smile, thinking herself hypocritical. She just refrained from intervening in the bird’s quick kill to train the hunting team and watched the slaughter but now cares about everyone’s method of killing.

In times when humans struggle for survival, concerns about animal torture seem irrelevant, but Yan Shuangshuang couldn’t help feeling sad and fearful.

Yan Shuangshuang feared becoming more cold-blooded, initially feeling sympathy for slaughtered animals but now indifferent to their deaths, not finding killing hard to accept anymore.

Yan Shuangshuang knew people often change their mindset in specific environments, like a kindhearted person who, in a world of violence, will wield a knife for self-defense and retaliate in a fight, gradually becoming accustomed to killing, initiating slaughter, and enjoying it!

Yan Shuangshuang feared that one day, inevitably, when she gets into human conflict, she’ll become accustomed to killing, actively slaughtering, enjoying the thrill of becoming stronger through this, which chills her to the bone upon thinking.

Yan Shuangshuang always knew this world wasn’t peaceful—fighting was not just with animals but even crueler between tribes. For example, during the cold season, strong tribes often prey upon smaller ones for food.

The Power Tribe was once attacked like this, though Yan Shuangshuang hadn’t witnessed it herself—the tribal book recorded countless people taken from the Power Tribe to become the attacking tribe’s reserve food.

Contacting other tribes undoubtedly has benefits, but along with them come tribal clashes, rivalry, and inevitable wars; wherever there are people, there will be conflict—inevitable.

Although Yan Shuangshuang was aware of this, she feared the slaughter during tribal wars, knowing she will inevitably have blood on her hands, as the tribal book’s gruesome records show a world with too much natural cruelty, where tribes treat humans as prey.

Facing those people means being killed if you don’t kill them first, but Yan Shuangshuang dreads whether she’ll lose her essence after killing. This fear and unease reside deep within Yan Shuangshuang from the moment she decided to contact other tribes.

Those fears and worries persist within Yan Shuangshuang, pressed down firmly, but at this moment, seeing the tortured death of the giant bird, all negative emotions rushed to the forefront.

The intense emotions made Yan Shuangshuang agitated, wanting to vent but unsure how, only able to suppress those fearful, anxious thoughts back into her heart’s depths, sealing them away.

Regardless, Yan Shuangshuang wouldn’t retreat; she aims to establish a strong tribe, enabling everyone within to live securely. Though adults may still face danger, at least children can grow safely, and the elderly be cared for.
