CHAPTER 520: CHAPTER 511: THE GREAT CHIEF 29

What struck Yan Shuangshuang the most was the depiction on the mural of the tribe’s people battling this creature. In the mural, the creature flew through the air, its mouth wide open, with a burning fireball inside!

As it flew, it spit fireballs from its mouth towards the people on the ground. Each fireball that landed would burn at least one warrior to death and ignite a large area, but the warriors in the tribe fearlessly charged forward!

The bodies of these warriors glowed with colorful light, and the weapons they wielded were not stone axes, but long swords and spears. One warrior, emitting a green light, stood on the ground and conjured up a massive wind that sent groups of warriors into the sky to fight the monster.

At the same time, that person swung a massive green blade out of thin air, slashing the monster relentlessly, each attack carving a huge wound into the creature’s body.

The warriors fighting in the sky were also formidable, though their attacks did not inflict as much damage on the monster as that warrior’s did. Their bodies and weapons were enveloped in a layer of light, and each strike left a large wound on the monster.

Although the tribe’s warriors suffered over a dozen casualties, the monster quickly became exhausted under their relentless assault, and was finally killed by the warrior who directed the others in the sky with the ethereal green blade.

Yan Shuangshuang, dragging her Bright Light Seeds, carefully examined every part of the mural, and finally found a line of writing in a small corner.

The handwriting was somewhat blurred due to the passage of time, but it could still be vaguely discerned that it described a Sky Wolf Fierce Beast attacking the tribe, killing seventeen warriors, before being slain by the tribe’s Divine Favored warrior!

The words that followed were too blurred to make out, but Yan Shuangshuang finally learned the name of the creature, Sky Wolf Fierce Beast. Imagining its wolf-like head, Yan Shuangshuang thought it made sense to call it a wolf, given how fierce it was.

Yan Shuangshuang watched the battle scene depicted in the mural, seeing the colorful light emanating from the warriors, feeling extremely stirred. Previously, she had been envious and surprised by the Warrior Power of Ben and her Father Tieh.

But compared to these warriors in the mural, the power of her Father Tieh and Ben seemed as vastly different as children compared to adults! Was this the true power of a warrior? And the power of the Divine Favored warrior was even more astonishing!

Yan Shuangshuang felt as if her entire bloodstream was ignited, desperately longing to gain the immense power of that Divine Favored warrior, never doubting if she could achieve it.

Whether the Divine Favored was truly favored by God, Yan Shuangshuang did not know, but she knew for certain that she herself had indeed been favored by God, truly a Divine Favored! As a genuine Divine Favored, Yan Shuangshuang never doubted that she could reach such heights!

Besides the mural, the upper cave was actually not much different from the lower cave, but larger, able to accommodate more people, so Yan Shuangshuang quickly lost interest after a brief walk around.

As the weather turned cold and the animal pelts grew thicker, the Hunting Team set out again to hunt prey with pelts. After intense training during this period, Yan Shuangshuang was able to move with the Hunting Team and help out when they surrounded large prey.

The White Stone Fruits had begun to mature in large quantities. The Hunting Team not only needed to hunt but also had to regularly go to the White Stone Fruit Forest to pick the ripe White Stone Fruits, inevitably finding some overripe ones.

Previously, the White Stone Fruits Yan Shuangshuang ate were all fresh. The flesh of fresh White Stone Fruits was somewhat similar to durian, soft but not foul-smelling; instead, it was sweet and delicious. Although the tribe treated White Stone Fruits as a main course to be eaten with meat, their taste was actually more like fruit.

Unexpectedly, when White Stone Fruits matured too much, their flesh would become less juicy and instead soft and fluffy like bread, chewy yet tender and delicious, truly resembling a staple food. If roasted over fire, they would become crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, perfect to eat with roasted meat, both refreshing and filling!

After tasting some slightly overripe White Stone Fruits, the tribe intentionally left some to ripen further before picking them, separating them from the freshly ripe ones for storage.

One type was for eating at any time, another was kept to eat with roasted meat during meals, one for filling, and one as a winter snack. Just as the Immortal Leaves fell completely by winter, with no more Immortal Tofu for snacks, White Stone Fruits could serve as replacements.

Speaking of fruit, every time Yan Shuangshuang entered the forest with the Hunting Team, she saw a lot of fruit ripening in abundance, with small animals and birds unable to consume it all before it rotted on the trees, which was quite a pity.

Previously, the Hunting Team focused solely on catching prey as meat could provide substantial fullness and nourishment, while fruit could not satisfy hunger, so they ignored the fruits.

Now, with plenty to eat and drink, no shortage of meat or furs for winter, and each person having around a dozen furs, enough for clothing and warmth, Yan Shuangshuang felt distressed over the fruit rotting in the forest.

Thinking of everyone having little access to delicious food in winter, Yan Shuangshuang was even more pained by the spoiled fruits. Therefore, she mobilized the Hunting Team to help collect all the fruit and transport it back to the tribe’s cave.

Taking advantage of the sun’s warmth, she had the women in the cave dry the fruit to preserve it as dried fruits, ready for winter when wild vegetables were scarce, to provide both a vitamin source and a tasty snack.

Everyone in the tribe became busy once more, drying fruit, tanning hides, curing meats. As the weather cooled and snow began to fall, with the fruits already harvested, the members of the Hunting Team resumed their frantic hunting activities.

They aimed to catch a batch of prey to freeze before the cold season arrived, as eating salty and smoked meat daily could become quite monotonous.

Lately, the Hunting Team had been tirelessly chasing prey, and this day, they encountered a large creature, resembling a pig with a long trunk but not entirely a pig, with abundant meat, in a mad dash.

Previously, everyone had put in great effort to defeat this creature, but as it turned to flee, they refused to let it escape. Especially since this creature had so much meat, letting it go would be like losing a mountain of meat.
