CHAPTER 578: CHAPTER 555: GRAND LEADER 73

During this process, the Earth King Beast’s body became bigger and bigger! It kept growing until it was twice its original size before stopping.

Yan Shuangshuang looked up in shock at the now larger Earth King Beast, which was filled with the aura of a Fierce Beast, and was so stunned she couldn’t speak! It had actually successfully advanced to become a Fierce Beast!

Having become a Fierce Beast, the Earth King Beast shook its massive body, and its backstab and scale armor grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly turning from soft to hard.

The Earth King Beast was clearly pleased with its transformation, raising its head to let out a long howl filled with endless delight, with no trace of pain this time?

After expressing its joy, the Earth King Beast instinctively lowered its head to share its success in becoming a Fierce Beast with Yan Shuangshuang.

But as it lowered its head, the Earth King Beast was puzzled because it realized that the person who was originally much smaller than it was now even smaller, like a tiny ant standing on the ground. Its nostrils alone were big enough for Yan Shuangshuang to play in like a cave.

The Earth King Beast merely blew air out of its nostrils towards Yan Shuangshuang, and she felt like she was standing in a gale, her hair and clothes thrown into disarray by the wind.

Before Yan Shuangshuang could react, the Earth King Beast was already upset. Its body was originally too large, making it hard to be close to Yan Shuangshuang. Now, with this elephant and ant height difference, would it never be able to cuddle with Yan Shuangshuang?

Thinking of this, the Earth King Beast immediately felt aggrieved, making a whimpering sound at Yan Shuangshuang, its big eyes watery, full of baby-like grievance, seeking comfort.

Yan Shuangshuang looked at the Earth King Beast with twitching corners of her mouth, pondering whether she could approach without being accidentally squished flat by it, and yet, this Earth King Beast was feeling wronged.

As Yan Shuangshuang was a bit troubled, pondering how to make a nest for the now much bigger Earth King Beast, a particularly magical scene unfolded in front of her!

She watched as the massive Earth King Beast first shook its body, then, under Yan Shuangshuang’s gaze, began to shrink, shrink, until it eventually became the size of a human!

With an expression of shock, Yan Shuangshuang watched as the Earth King Beast happily wagged its tail and leaped at her, startling her into quickly dodging.

It wasn’t that Yan Shuangshuang disliked the Earth King Beast’s affection, but mainly because, although it had shrunk, its new backstab and scale armor were still there, looking sharper than before!

Yan Shuangshuang was just a flesh and blood human; how could she dare to hug it unless she had a death wish?

Even though Yan Shuangshuang declined the hug, the wisdom of the Earth King Beast had increased significantly after becoming a Fierce Beast, so it wasn’t discouraged. It knew Yan Shuangshuang wasn’t rejecting it.

After a round of affection with Yan Shuangshuang, allowing her to pet the parts of its body not covered by backstab and scale armor, the Earth King Beast went off to play with the warriors who had helped it before.

While the Earth King Beast went off to play, Yan Shuangshuang looked at the backstab and scale armor left on the ground from when it advanced to a Fierce Beast, her face full of joy. This meant more weapons for the tribe.

Not only was Yan Shuangshuang happy, but the tribe’s people were also delighted since many hadn’t yet gotten a Scale Armor Knife or a long spear made from the Earth King Beast’s backstab. They had long coveted the pieces shed by the Earth King Beast.

Previously, the Earth King Beast hadn’t shed much of its backstab and scale armor, and the few pieces from its occasional renewals weren’t enough for the people in the tribe.

The limited amount of backstab and scale armor had many warriors in the tribe eager, including new additions like Sang Nan, who had witnessed firsthand the sharpness of the Scale Armor Knife, capable of easily piercing the defenses of the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast. Such sharp weapons were irresistible.

Now, with so much more backstab and scale armor, every warrior in the tribe could be equipped with a Scale Armor Knife and a backstabbing spear, with plenty left over, thrilling both the tribe and Yan Shuangshuang.

While Yan Shuangshuang was busy allocating weapons, three Traveler Tribes heading towards the Yanhuang Tribe finally arrived at its gates.

These three Traveler Tribes, combined, numbered over a thousand people, which was a big surprise for Yan Shuangshuang, because with the addition of these three Traveler Tribes, their tribe’s population was close to three thousand, only two thousand short of becoming a Great Tribe.

Upon confirming the Yanhuang Tribe’s acceptance of Traveler Tribes, many of those joining were moved to tears.

This scene was unfamiliar to Yan Shuangshuang. Coincidentally, Sang Nan and others were once members of a Traveler Tribe, so she called Sang Nan over to comfort these new members, as they could relate to each other and offer mutual solace.

As expected, with Sang Nan and the others’ comfort and care, the newly joined members of the Traveler Tribes calmed down quickly, actively participating in the Yanhuang Tribe’s work, and swiftly integrating into the tribe, considering themselves part of it.

In return for their sincere integration, Yan Shuangshuang had Sang Nan teach them the detailed application of Warrior Power as soon as possible.

Yan Shuangshuang planned that once they learned how to precisely use this power, they would be well on their way to fully integrating into the Yanhuang Tribe, allowing her to impart the cultivation method to them confidently.

By the time these new members of the Traveler Tribes not only deliberately but wholly became part of the Yanhuang Tribe and began learning the tribe’s crucial current cultivation method with the group’s approval, even this year’s hot season had passed.

This hot season went by exceptionally smoothly. With a well nearby providing water, although the water level would drop during the hot season, it was still ample for the tribe members to drink and bathe without issue.

Food was also plentiful, so during the scorching hot season, the Yanhuang Tribe members could just stay in the tribe’s caves, doing nothing but cultivation.

After the most relaxed hot season in history, Yan Shuangshuang began planning to lead the tribe’s people to participate in the Red Flower Festival.

The Red Flower Festival is much like a modern matchmaking event, held in a scenic location where surrounding tribe members gather for the matchmaking event.
