CHAPTER 563: CHAPTER 543: GRAND LEADER 61 FOUR THOUSAND WORDS_2

In the sky overhead, the body of this creature is comparable to that of the Earth King Beast. Its massive wings spread out, covering the sky — it is the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast, the same awe-inspiring creature Shuangshuang had seen in the mural before!

When Shuangshuang first saw it in the mural, although she found it astonishing, it didn’t seem particularly terrifying; after all, a flat image can’t truly convey an overwhelming feeling, regardless of the creature’s beauty or ugliness, or its size.

But now, faced with such a fierce beast and the unrestrained murderous intent it exuded, the fear that drilled into her bones made her legs tremble, unable even to summon the courage to flee!

Of course, that knee-weakening fear only lasted for a moment before Shuangshuang overcame it.

In truth, the oppressive presence of the Earth King Beast was in no way inferior to that of the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast, yet Shuangshuang wasn’t afraid when facing the Earth King Beast because it never showed any hostility or malice towards her.

Once she overcame her inner terror, Shuangshuang’s thoughts turned to those brave enough to stand against such a terrifying Sky Wolf Fierce Beast. Underneath it, there were hordes of people, seemingly no less than a hundred.

Moreover, these people confronting the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast were clearly from the same tribe.

Shuangshuang sensed that nearly every one of these hundred-plus individuals was a warrior, a strength comparable only to a Great Tribe. Indeed, in the Yanhuang Tribe now, more than half of the people were warriors, numbering in the hundreds.

While the number and strength of Yanhuang Tribe warriors met the standards of a Great Tribe, there weren’t enough ordinary people, preventing it from truly being one. A Great Tribe required a population of at least five thousand; anything less was considered a small to medium-sized tribe.

Returning her focus to the battlefield, Shuangshuang wondered whether these people had targeted the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast themselves, or if they were just unlucky enough to have been targeted by it.

Shuangshuang believed it more likely that these people were unfortunate to have been targeted by the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast, as opposing Fierce Beasts, especially top-tier ones like the mutated Sky Wolf Beast, was never without casualties; even minimizing them was rare.

Although the flesh of a Fierce Beast held much energy, benefiting humans who consumed it, it was not worth the risk of losing a tribe’s invaluable warriors to challenge a Sky Wolf Fierce Beast. Warriors are vital to a tribe’s foundation, immensely important.

Contrarily, once Fierce Beasts gained wisdom, they knew that lone humans or those without warrior abilities made the best prey and would often actively attack humans when encountering them during hunts.

Shuangshuang watched as the group of over a hundred warriors, under the whistle-command of a tall, strong man, engaged the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast above them in coordinated combat.

While the warriors displayed great coordination, none appeared to be the powerful Divine Favored warriors Shuangshuang had seen in the mural, so they remained on the defensive.

Their leap power was insufficient to reach the height of the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast to attack, leaving them with only the means of throwing long spears and large stones.

But with the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast hovering high in the air, long spears and stones struggled to inflict damage, whereas the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast could counter with fireballs and wind from its wings to assault those on the ground.

Those on the ground found battling this Fierce Beast exhausting; more often they obeyed the man’s commands to evade its attacks rather than confronting it head-on.

If the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast flew lower, allowing those on the ground to seize its claws, they might have been able to drag it to the ground, leveraging their numbers and brute strength.

Thanks to a special power within them, warriors possessed immense strength, and if they could grip the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast’s claws, even a hundred warriors could drag it down despite its enormous size.

Once the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast’s ability to fly was neutralized, and with its lack of suitability for ground combat, it would be much easier for these people to kill it.

Sadly, the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast was exceptionally cunning, maintaining a safe distance from those on the ground, constantly shifting in the sky. It flapped its wings now and again, whipping up gusts that swept them off their feet while sporadically spitting fireballs.

The people on the ground had been battling the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast for a long time. Although they fought it, they were primarily seeking ways to drive it off, never intending to defeat it.
