I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 278, Giant Claw Mountain Bear

Yan Hua widened her red eyes, not quite sure if that was Rolly. Even so, that feline figure gave her a familiar feeling.

She frowned and looked for a long while, asking. “Are you really Rolly? Shouldn’t you be in the Tribe?”

The cow horned girl thought about how the fox eared girl should be holding Rolly tightly, cheek against it right now. However, unexpectedly, it appeared here.

Su Bai was not too sure at first. However, the familiar feeling he felt made him certain.

That black cat carrying the Ancient Tree Monkey in its mouth was Rolly from the Tribe, the one that usually looked cute and gentle.

Cang Shi was also stunned. He had heard about how the Shaman kept a black cat, and he had seen it once.

The first time he saw it was completely different from his feline right in front of him. He thought he had remembered wrong, but seeing everyone else’s surprised expressions, he knew his memory was not at fault.

“Rolly, put it down and come here!” Su Bai extended his hand and softly called out.

After hearing from Cang Shi that Ancient Tree Monkeys were horrendous to eat, Su Bai did not want his pet cat to eat such a thing.

*Meow~* After Rolly released its mouth, the lifeless Ancient Tree Monkey fell to the ground, and it turned to walk over.

Rolly walked without making a sound. Its originally large form began to shrink, gradually returning to its previous cute appearance.

It leaped up onto Su Bai’s shoulder and began affectionately nuzzling against his cheek.

Su Bai felt a bit uncomfortable at this sharp contrast. [How could such a fierce cat suddenly become so docile? Moreover, when it returned to its cute form, it would actually shrink. How fascinating.]

“How did you follow us here? Didn’t I tell you to stay in the Tribe?” Su Bai tapped its forehead.

*Meow~* Rolly lazily called out with closed eyes, its adorable appearance made it impossible to associate this cat with its previous fierce demeanour.

“It was probably because the Ancient Tree Monkey showed its fangs at the Shaman, so Rolly dealt with it.” Cang Shi analysed.

“Hmm, well, at least now I know you’re truly not ordinary.” Su Bai looked at the black cat on his shoulder.

Yan Hua almost could not look directly at Rolly anymore. How could the cat she used to cuddle be so fierce?

She blinked her red eyes, saying gratefully. “Fortunately Rolly won’t harm the Shaman, otherwise those days in the wooden house would have been dangerous.”

Sha Lan also kept shaking her head in surprise, remembering how she was captivated by its cuteness when she first saw Rolly.

“Since you’re here, you can come along, but don’t do that again.” Su Bai lectured it.

*Meow~* Rolly seemed to understand, its black tail swishing back and forth, its round black eyes once again showing an innocent look.

These two extremely contrasting appearances were just like the Ancient Tree Monkey, that had been baring its fangs, earlier.

Suddenly Rolly’s fur began to stand on end. Its black eyes instantly changed back to golden vertical pupils.

It looked like this because something dangerous was approaching, and it could not sit still on Su Bai’s shoulder.

Su Bai and the other members of the Hunting Team immediately became quiet, all standing up to alertly watch their surroundings.

They all knew that if there were threatening Ferocious Beasts nearby, they could tell from the behaviour of other animals.

After several breaths, they saw a dog-like beast jump out from the bushes.

The beast looked around in a panic, then ran away in one direction without looking back.

Seeing this situation, Cang Shi naturally knew something was wrong and protected the Shaman behind him.

*Rustle rustle…* After another moment, Cang Shi heard the rustling sounds and softly said. “That should be a Ferocious Beast moving around. It’s making that sound by rubbing against tree branches.”

He made a hand gesture, signalling everyone in the Hunting Team to hide. This was not the time to act rashly.

*Rustle rustle!*

*Thump thump thump…*

A series of heavy footsteps sounded as a roughly ten-metre-tall Ferocious Beast slowly appeared.

The Ferocious Beast had brownish-black fur all over its body. Its four limbs were extremely thick, seemingly able to swat a person far away with one paw.

It dragged a thick powerful tail behind it. Its appearance was somewhat fierce, but its movements were very slow, as if in slow motion.

Su Bai curiously looked at that Ferocious Beast and asked in a low voice. “What Ferocious Beast is that?”

“A Giant Claw Mountain Bear. Don’t let it discover us.” Cang Shi frowned while watching the Ferocious Beast.

This Ferocious Beast was classified as an Ancient Blood Ferocious Beast, though its movements were very slow, its was deathly.

The Giant Claw Mountain Bear kept sniffing with its nose, walking to several trees, suddenly standing up on its hind legs.

That strong tail behind it pressed against the ground, forming a tripod stance with it standing on its hind legs.

After standing up, its front paws revealed sickle-like claws that had been folded into its arms.

It began hooking the trees in front of it. Like cutting wheat, it easily cutting down branches and leaves from the trees.

“What is it doing?” Su Bai curiously asked, not quite understanding this Ferocious Beast’s behaviour, especially its ability to stand on two legs.

“The Giant Claw Mountain Bear mainly feeds on tree leaves. Even so, this giant isn’t that easy to deal with.” Cang Shi said with a grimace.

“This Giant Claw Mountain Bear isn’t even fully grown yet. An adult Giant Claw Mountain Bear is much bigger than this.” Sha Hong solemnly said.

“It only looks clumsy and lazy now. When it encounters real threats, their reaction speed aren’t this slow.” Cang Shi added.

“Is it on our hunting list?” Su Bai asked, as it was such a large Ferocious Beast. Its hide and meat were very tempting.

Cang Shi shook his head and said. “For now, we can’t hunt it. It would take too much time and energy.”

It was not that they did not want to hunt it, It was just too dangerous. Not only was it large, but it could also move nimbly when needed.

If they had to hunt down this kind of Ferocious Beast, it would only result in mutual harm – it would not be worth it.

After a while, once it was done eating the tree branches and leaves, it lazily stood on all fours again and began leaving.

Rolly, whose fur had been standing on end, saw the Giant Claw Mountain Bear leave and its fur began returning to normal. Its golden vertical pupils changed back to round black eyes.

[Looks like that big thing is a great threat. We will hunt it down someday.] Su Bai thought to himself.

He thought about the Giant Claw Mountain Bear’s claws. It was so sharp, they could probably be made into weapons or used for other purposes.

After the Giant Claw Mountain Bear left, Cang Shi led the Hunting Team to continue forward.
