I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 1006, Trembling

Translator: Silavin

Never mind Qing Mu and Chi Tu, even Qing Yan felt somewhat frightened.

The oppressive aura emanating from that Ferocious Beast within the rain was overwhelming.

The Warriors momentarily dared not breathe too deeply. All were frozen in place, not daring to make any rash movements.

Nobody knew whether their next action might provoke the Ferocious Beast’s fury. They stood as though paralysed.

“When I finish counting to three, immediately run away and don’t concern yourselves with me.” Qing Yan’s expression darkened completely.

He understood this situation would not be resolved so smoothly. The probability of being struck down was extremely high.

Yet Qing Yan’s mind continuously recalled Su Bai’s instructions. He was to ensure the absolute safety of the Warriors.

Moreover, as the Team Leader, he bore responsibility for the Warriors’ safe withdrawal.

“Tean Leader, you withdraw first. Chi Tu and I can manage this.” Qing Mu whispered.

They dared not speak loudly, relying on the noise of the rain to cover their soft voices.

Qing Mu’s words were one thing, but his body betrayed him. He was trembling. The fear he felt was genuine.

“You must survive. Your death would be a loss to the Tribe. We can definitely escape,” Chi Tu immediately added.

He likewise experienced tremendous fear. The moisture on his forehead and back was indistinguishable as rain or cold sweat.

“What nonsense are you speaking? Are you now disobeying my orders?” Qing Yan spoke with extreme severity.

He knew they planned to sacrifice themselves for him to escape. But how could he possibly allow for such a thing?

“Team Leader, we Warriors will never abandon companions.” Qing Mu showed no intention of leaving.

“Even in death, we die together. That’s the Flame Dragon Tribe’s way of living.” Chi Tu declared passionately.

“If we all perish here, who’ll relay this information to the Shaman? Don’t forget why we’ve spent so much time on this expedition. Remember, the Shaman still waits for our return.” Qing Yan refused to let these two young Warriors needlessly sacrifice themselves. Mentally, he calculated how to buy more time.

“Team Leader, but…” Before Qing Mu and Chi Tu could finish, Qing Yan cut them off, radiating irresistible authority.

The two Warriors dared not speak further, though their eyes reddened, their were fiercely fists clenching onto their satchels.

*Roar!!! Roar!!!!*

The Ferocious Beast within the rain seemed to sense their intention to escape, releasing a series of deep, menacing roars.

“Here it comes.” Qing Yan shoved Qing Mu and Chi Tu backwards, then charged towards the Ferocious Beast.

This showed how courageous he was. Human instinct took the form of fear and flight, never would it allow one to charge towards a predator.

Qing Mu and Chi Tu refused to become burdens. Despite being reluctant, they turned and began running.

Qing Yan glanced back, seeing the two leaving, he smiled with relief, then turned to face the Ferocious Beast with severe determination.

The enormous Ferocious Beast within the rain gradually revealed its form. Remarkably, it was similar to Earth’s tigers. Just that this was exceptionally massive. Furthermore, it was pale purple, with fangs considerably longer than typical tigers, resembling that of a Long Toothed Black Tiger.

Additionally, it possessed two lengthy tails, each lined with rows of barbs. A single tail sweep would likely be fatal.

*Roar!!!*

The Ferocious Beast leapt before Qing Yan, releasing another deep roar. At close proximity, the oppressive sensation intensified dramatically.

“An Ancient Blood Ferocious Beast!” Qing Yan froze completely.

Initially, he had estimated perhaps it was a Pure Blood Ferocious Beast, possibly one close to having a breakthrough.

He had never anticipated an Ancient Blood Ferocious Beast, and one so massive, would appear now.

Those enormous claws would not merely disembowel him. They could cleanly bisect a victim.

[I’ve never encountered this Ferocious Beast species. How will it attack?] Qing Yan calculated mentally.

Though his body trembled uncontrollably, he needed to analyse his opponent calmly. Critical moments demanded composure above all else. Panic would just create more opening to exploit, accelerating death.

The Ferocious Beast granted no time to think though. After several roars, it lunged towards Qing Yan.

Its speed was extraordinary. It far exceeded what ordinary beasts and Pure Blood Ferocious Beasts could do.

Qing Yan seemed to have anticipated this move and rolled sideways.

He successfully evaded. Managing to dodge this strike already demonstrated considerable skill.

Qing Yan immediately stood, rapidly adjusting his stance, completely disregarding the mud covering his body and the filth on his face.

He immediately focused intently on the Ferocious Beast’s next movement.

A single distracted moment could mean the Ferocious Beast’s jaws closing in on his throat.

*Roar!!*

Indeed, the first failed strike had enraged the Ferocious Beast. It roared while adjusting its position, lunging again.

Qing Yan once more leapt aside. Unfortunately, his entire right arm was struck by the Ferocious Beast’s sweeping tail.

However, Qing Yan had anticipated getting injured. A second before evading, he had activated his Totem Power.

He hardened his skin somewhat, barely withstanding the Ferocious Beast’s sweeping strike.

Yet ‘withstanding’ merely meant surviving through the attack. His flesh immediately split open, with bone fractures clearly visible.

Had Qing Yan not activated his Totem Power when that tail swept towards him, the entire arm would have been destroyed.

“Argh!” Intense pain surged instantaneously. Qing Yan’s face turned deathly pale immediately.

He had now experienced an Ancient Blood Ferocious Beast’s savagery and devastating power firsthand.

Qing Yan could not afford to acknowledge the pain. He immediately retrieved a Shaman Bone Tablet from his bag, instantly applying it to his injured arm.

While using the Shaman Bone Tablet, he continuously moved to the side, maintaining his mobility.

Standing stationary would merely make him the Ferocious Beast’s target, especially one with such devastating power.

[If I receive another strike, I won’t be able to stand.] Qing Yan gritted his teeth.

He began seeking opportunities for a counterattack. After applying the Shaman Bone Tablet, his physical condition improved.

Not merely his Stamina , even Speed and visual acuity felt instantly enhanced.

*Roar roar roar!”

Witnessing Qing Yan’s arm wound heal immediately, the Ferocious Beast’s fury intensified dramatically.
