I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 357, Silhouette in the Rain Curtain

*Rumble…*

*Splash…*

The sky looked like it had a huge hole in it, with rain pouring down continuously from above.

What had been a light drizzle last night turned into heavy rain by daybreak.

The mist formed by the falling rain created layers of screens, making it difficult to see what was ahead.

*Pa pa pa…*

The raindrops were now densely falling, hitting the ground with great power, as splashing mud sounds echoed everywhere.

*Tap tap tap…*

The forest leaves rustled loudly under the rain’s assault. The sound was so intense it felt like the leaves might be torn apart by the falling droplets.

Although the rain was extremely heavy, there were many figures moving within the rain.

These figures were moving at incredible speeds – if one were not watching carefully, it would be impossible to track their movements.

These figures seemed to completely ignore the heavy rain, their movement speed not diminishing in the slightest. Instead, they moved faster. Not only that, weapons kept flying from these figures.

These weapons were all embedded into the ground and trees – they were everywhere one looked.

Looking closely, these weapons were all bone spikes made from Ferocious Beast Bone, sharpened to the extreme. Sharp and pointed, very slender overall.

Although made from Beast Bone, their lethality was high. These bone weapons flew out from the moving figures.

After each *whooshing* sound, the weapons would embed themselves directly into the ground, with their ends still vibrating.

The overall lethality was obvious. It would certainly be fatal if it hit a person.

The raindrops splattering on the ground did not cause these flying bone spikes to deviate even slightly from their path.

*Whoosh whoosh…* Those figures racing under the rain did a backflip, clearing the obstructing branches ahead and steadily landing.

Their landing was inaudible among the surrounding raindrops. In fact, even without rain, there would not have been much sound.

These were the Warrior Trainees of the Flame Dragon Tribe, and the rainy season was a time for them to train.

They needed to practice accuracy training in the rain, which was very challenging considering the environmental conditions.

Without rain, accuracy training would not be much of a challenge for them. Moreover, they had longbows and had trained with targets for a long time. So their accuracy was assured.

However, maintaining constant accuracy in the rain was difficult, with the falling droplets being a major obstacle.

If the force was not right, the bone spikes would be affected by the droplets.

Yan Hua’s figure slowly emerged from the rain, her red eyes looking very solemn.

She held a bone spike in her hand, her red eyes appearing to aim at something.

The rain kept falling from above, landing on the grass, leaves, stones, and also on the cow horned girl’s body and head.

The water slid slowly from her forehead, over her high nose, luscious pink lips, then onto her slightly upturned chin, finally falling to her neck.

This scene had a different feel to it, creating quite a beautiful picture.

*Whoosh!* Yan Hua aimed carefully, targeting a Ground Worm that had just emerged from the soil.

The moment the bone spike flew out, as if in slow motion, it passed through the falling rain.

It cleverly avoided several large water droplets, finally striking directly at the head of the newly emerged Ground Worm.

Though it seemed to have taken over ten seconds, the entire action was completed in less than a second.

“Hit!” Yan Hua’s lips curved up.

This was her tenth successful hit on a Ground Worm since it started raining. She had not been able to hit any earlier this morning.

Yan Hua was not conceited about this though. She continued taking out bone spikes and aiming, preparing to find the next emerging Ground Worm.

These Ground Worms only came out during the rainy season. Each was about twenty centimetres in length. They looked similar to Earth’s earthworms, just much blacker and thicker.

During the rainy season, they all came out to drink water, only emerging once a year during this season.

They also came out to reproduce. In fact, the rainy season was their mating season. So, large numbers of Ground Worms would break through the soil at this time.

This was why the Tribe chose to conduct accuracy training during the rainy season. The emerging Ground Worms were the moving targets. And with the heavy rain, aiming at them was not an easy task. This greatly increased the difficulty of the training.

“Where will the next one be?” Yan Hua muttered to herself, not lowering the bone spike in her hand.

She had to stay ready at all times, so she could launch the bone spike immediately and not be caught unprepared.

“There!” Yan Hua shouted, turning her body and flipping onto a tree to aim at her next target.

The rainy season training was not just about aiming at Ground Worms – there were also other creatures that would only emerge during the rainy season.

The cow horned girl was now aiming at another type of creature that usually lived inside tree trunks.

During the rainy season, they would crawl out from inside the trees in search of food and water. These creatures were Tree Cicadas, looking similar to Earth’s cicadas but slightly larger.

Their exterior was dark green in colour, not easy to spot without careful observation, especially in the rain.

Yan Hua was able to detect the Tree Cicadas’ movement because her keen hearing caught the sound of them breaking through the tree bark.

*Whoosh!* Yan Hua did a backflip off the tree, her bone spike flying out towards the newly emerged Tree Cicada.

Before the Tree Cicada could make a sound, its life was ended, its transparent wings still fluttering.

Water droplets fell on its wings and slowly rolled off, as if bidding farewell to it. It had just emerged and had not truly seen this world, but died without even knowing how.

“Great!” Yan Hua smiled. To her,  nothing was more satisfying than hitting a target.

She reached up to brush her black hair behind her head, as the rain had completely soaked it. If not pushed aside, it would easily cover her face and hinder her vision.

Yan Hua jumped to a higher position, preparing to look for more Ground Worms or Tree Cicadas from above.

Of course, the Tree Cicada pinned by bone spikes would be taken back – if they caught enough, they could be roasted.

Roasted Tree Cicadas tasted quite good. They had a crispy, fragrant texture.

“Who will be my next target?” Yan Hua narrowed her eyes as she surveyed her surroundings.
