I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 364, Dangerous Moment

Translator: Silavin

Yan Hua performed a backflip from the tree branch to land on the ground. She was going to collect the two Rain Snakes.

It had to be said that hunting down two Rain Snakes at once was very difficult, as Rain Snakes were not Collectivistic animals. They all operated individually, so being able to capture two at once was an impressive feat if not luck.

“They must have come out looking for food.” Yan Hua muttered to herself.

But actually, the two snakes had come out to mate, as it was their mating season. During this time, they would often seek out partners to complete their annual ritual.

“Either way, getting two at once is really lucky!” Yan Hua said happily.

She put away the two Beast Bone Spears and placed the dead Rain Snakes into her wooden basket.

“Ah’Lan, I caught two!” Yan Hua excitedly exclaimed, jogging over to where the cat eared girl was.

“I’ve only caught one, and it’s a small one,” Sha Lan held up the tiny Rain Snake in her hand.

That Rain Snake appeared quite small in size, noticeably smaller than the normal size of Rain Snakes. It must be in its adolescence.

“Well, they’re counting by numbers not size, so catching any is good.” Yan Hua consoled.

“That’s true, I’ll go check over there.” Sha Lan packed away the Rain Snake and turned to leave.

Yan Hua nodded, holding her Beast Bone Spear at the ready, because Rain Snakes were unlike typical creatures. They would actively attack people, so one had to be careful, otherwise they might suffer a sneak attack from behind.

She kept scanning the surroundings with her Beast Bone Spear, not daring to show any negligence.

*Hiss hiss…* Suddenly a Rain Snake emerged from a tree, constantly flicking its tongue, its eyes fixed intently on the cow horned girl below.

Its body silently slid down the trunk, its beautiful blue scales glistening with a mesmerizing effect when it moved. Moreover, its tremendous coiling strength allowed it to stay firmly wrapped around the tree trunk without falling.

As it approached the cow horned girl, its body suddenly twisted, curling its front half back into an ‘S’ shape.

The Rain Snake began targeting the cow horned girl, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, opening its mouth to bite at her back.

Yan Hua had spotted the Rain Snake early on, and had deliberately not turned around to avoid startling it.

Just as the Rain Snake charged forward, the cow horned girl smoothly dodged to the side.

She gripped her Beast Bone Spear tightly and with one powerful strike, knocked the charging Rain Snake to the ground. She then quickly reversed the Beast Bone Spear’s direction, forcefully driving its sharp end into the Rain Snake’s vital point.

When they entered the forest, Yan Jiao had educated them about this.

When dealing with Rain Snakes, one must strike their vital point, leaving them no room to retaliate.

Naturally, striking a Rain Snake’s vital point was knowledge that all Warrior Trainees knew.

“Trying to launch a sneak attack on me?” Yan Hua’s lips curved slightly upward as she pulled out her Beast Bone Spear.

She removed the Rain Snake from the Beast Bone Spear, examined it briefly before placing it in her basket.

This was her third Rain Snake, which could be considered an effortless hunt.

Still, the third Rain Snake highlighted how when out in the Wilderness, one had to always stay vigilant. Otherwise, they might not even know how they died.

That was why the Tribe’s people would not easily let others enter the forest, as those without strength would only be seeking death.

“I wonder how Ah’Lan is doing?” Yan Hua muttered to herself.

She shook the blood off her Beast Bone Spear and continued forward, as getting more Rain Snakes was the most important thing right now.

*Step step step…*

Yan Hua shook the rainwater from her forehead, her red eyes opened wide, afraid of missing anything.

She gripped her Beast Bone Spear tightly and said. “I wonder how many the others have caught, though it probably isn’t that easy to catch them…”

Rain Snakes were not as numerous as Ground Worms or Tree Cicadas. They were also solitary creatures, so it was hard to find many at once like yesterday.

She was a bit worried about whether others might surpass her this time. She had gotten first place yesterday, and naturally she wanted to get first place today as well.

Unfortunately, she knew it would be difficult, not only were Rain Snakes few in number, but they were also well hidden, making them hard to catch.

If one’s Beast Bone Spear throwing was not precise, the Rain Snakes would often escape, as despite their appearance, were very agile.

*Step step step…*

Yan Hua continued walking deeper into the forest, hoping to find more Rain Snakes.

Rain Snakes preferred damp, quiet places. Like where she was previously. Thus, when there was the usual presence of people, Rain Snake sightings were rare.

“Where could they be?” Yan Hua wondered.

*Rustle rustle…*

“There’s movement!” Yan Hua suddenly called out as her Beast Bone Spear was already prepared.

A Rain Snake as thick as an adult’s lower leg crawled out from the underbrush, constantly flicking its tongue, looking deadly.

“Wow. Such a big one.” Yan Hua was stunned, this was her first time seeing such a large Rain Snake.

The largest she had seen before was only as thick as an arm, this was her first time seeing one this size.

She furrowed her brow, feeling things were not going to be that simple. Her grip on her Beast Bone Spear unconsciously tightened.

“Looks like this will be a fierce battle!” Yan Hua was fired up.

The cow horned girl was not frightened by seeing such a large Rain Snake. Rather, she became more excited. It was for no other reason than wanting to prove herself. Successfully taking this thing down would demonstrate her strength.

Moreover, she could gain recognition from the Tribe, as Rain Snakes were considered rather troublesome opponents for Warrior Trainees.

Yan Hua raised her Beast Bone Spear high, preparing to aim at the huge Rain Snake.

The Rain Snake also began raising its upper body, appearing ready to fight.

*Whoosh!*

The sound of air being cut rang out as the cow horned girl threw her Beast Bone Spear, aimed directly at the huge Rain Snake.

“Ah! I missed!”

The Beast Bone Spear missed, failing to pin the Rain Snake, instead embedding diagonally into the ground.

*Hiss hiss…* The Rain Snake flicks its tongue and coils up the Beast Bone Spear, its tail providing the power to leap up.

“Damn it! It dodged!” Yan Hua quickly avoided the Rain Snake’s charge, while throwing the Beast Bone Spear in her left hand at it.

The Rain Snake sensed the danger and it used the first thrown Beast Bone Spear. While in mid-air, it coiled around the spear to avoid the second throw, landing back to the ground.

*Hiss hiss hiss…*

*Pitter patter…*

The sound of the snake’s tongue merged with the sound of falling rain as the cow horned girl faced off against the Rain Snake, brows tightly furrowed.
