I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 275, The Hunting Ground!

*Tweet tweet tweet…* A series of intermittent bird-like cries echoed through the dense forest.

Cang Shi’s ears twitched almost imperceptibly as he said. “Shaman, it’s safe ahead, we can continue forward.”

Those bird-like calls just now came from a wooden whistle.

This wooden whistle was a sacred tool of the Hunting Team. Whenever they entered the forest, they would first send several people to scout the forest ahead. After confirming there were no fierce Ferocious Beasts nearby, they would blow this whistle.

Intermittent blows meant safety. Continuous blowing meant danger, and a single blow meant emergency.

This whistle was made by Gu Mu. It would produce bird-like sounds that would not seem out of place when in this vast forest. It sounded quite natural.

“Let’s set out too, it’s getting late.” Su Bai looked up at the sky.

They had been out for three days already and would soon reach the Hunting Ground. This was also the most dangerous period.

“Yes!” Cang Shi stayed close beside the Shaman, afraid something might go wrong. His weapons were always ready at all times.

Su Bai looked at the distant mountain peaks, which were tall and vast. These were something rarely seen on Earth but were seemingly normal in this primitive era.

The Hunting Team members began successively entering another dense forest, each tightly gripping their weapons.

Everyone’s face was solemn. It was for no other reason than they had just entered the Hunting Ground.

This dense forest was the best dividing line. The Hunting Ground’s trees were more lush, appearing taller with all sorts of plants.

The entire forest had many ancient trees clustered together, their branches and broad leaves almost completely blocking the visible sky above.

Below the various trees were many bushes, and among these bushes were many ancient tree roots.

The ancient trees certainly grew faster than other trees. Their developed root systems all broke through the ground, forming obstacles of varying heights.

Huge vines several metres thick wound between each ancient tree. Many vines were covered in dense moss of various colours, which were quite beautiful to look at.

However, because the ancient trees blocked out most of the sky, little sunlight filtered down, making the forest air naturally humid.

This humid air made the moss on the vines slippery. One careless step and they could fall.

However, when encountering flat, long vines, using them to slide forward quickly was a nice feeling too.

Everyone stepped on the vines to quickly slide around, their noses filled with the fresh scent of plants. Mixed in were some flower fragrances.

This dense forest was not just these though. As the temperature rose, the misty air carried the scents of forest creatures. This scent spread throughout the entire forest.

One could call this the breath of a primitive forest! This breath was full of vitality, making others feel energetic just breathing it in.

Of course, one could also smell danger and excitement, making those within feel their hair standing on end with tension!

On a huge ancient tree, an enormous creature lay prone on the vines. The pattern on its back looked like a terrifying face. Its eyes were seemingly staring at Su Bai and the others passing by, looking quite spine-chilling.

However, the Hunting Team did not slow down for this unknown creature. Instead, they just steadily continued forward.

As they advanced, the forest light flickered between bright and dark. Those developed root systems arching high then dropping back into the ground.

Though the Hunting Team members all carried things on their backs, when walking through the forest, they made little noise. This demonstrated, as exceptional warriors, their basic skill of stealth.

Each person walked on the developed root systems of the ancient trees, nimbly jumping between roots.

Over twenty people jumped one after another on the developed root systems, each person passing causing only a slight change in the environment.

After all, branches that gently shook, and leaves rustling typically did not draw the attention of other forest dwellers. Only large movements would draw their disdainful ire.

“This is much simpler than I thought…” Su Bai felt no difficulty jumping between branches.

He had thought it would be challenging. After all, unlike the Warrior Trainees and Totem Warriors, he had not really trained much and was not used to running through the forest.

Back on Earth he had barely even climbed mountains, let alone a dense primitive forest like this.

He also did not feel tired after all that jumping. In fact, he still felt quite light. He quickly realised it was because his Physique was constantly improving.

[At this rate, becoming a Totem Warrior won’t be difficult.] Su Bai thought to himself.

Given how his physical condition improved each day, his stamina would soon surpass even Totem Warriors.

His current physical condition should be equivalent to a Warrior Trainee, comparing with Cheng Shi made that very clear.

“So the Hunting Ground is this complex…” Cheng Shi was already sweating, with large drops covering his entire back.

Except for him, the others were fine. They were not even panting. Their breathing was just like normal.

“Told you to fly less and run more but you just wouldn’t listen.” Ai’er rolled her eyes at him.

Cheng Shi’s face fell. If the rules did not forbid flying too high in the Hunting Ground, he would have taken flight long ago.

He loved the feeling of flying through the air too much. He found walking through the forest too tiring.

Cang Shi was about to turn back to check on the Shaman, since the Hunting Ground’s dense forest was not like ordinary forests. Moving through it like this for so long would surely be tiring.

He turned back about to say something, but saw the other looking completely relaxed and swallowed his words.

Yan Hua was curiously surveying her surroundings. After all, this was her first time in the Hunting Ground. It was also her first time seeing such a forest environment. She was deeply fascinated by all the various flora and fauna.

Sha Lan was the same, looking very alert. Besides viewing the scenery, she kept watching for unknown beasts nearby. She was afraid they might suddenly charge over, even that unknown creature in the tree had made her jumpy.

“Sha Lan, the Hunting Ground is so exciting!” Yan Hua jumped between the complex interwoven vines and exclaimed.
