CHAPTER 588: CHAPTER 565 THE CHIEF LEADER 83

In order to show determination, the Earth King Beast first wandered outside the trap, planning to pretend to accidentally encounter the Cannibal Tribe when they came to attack, and stop their Fierce Beast. This could avoid alerting the enemy and prevent the Cannibal Tribe from being warned in advance and avoiding those traps.

The people of the Yanhuang Tribe stood by and watched Yan Shuangshuang set up the traps the whole time, each one of them was wide-eyed and speechless, completely unable to believe that this thing was actually made by them.

In the past, they had never thought that traps existed in the world. If they hadn’t personally participated in the making of the traps and set hints in secret to remind people of their presence, they would never have realized that such terrifying traps were hidden in this seemingly ordinary place. This made the tribe people look at Yan Shuangshuang with even more reverence.

They even felt a bit of sympathy for the incoming Cannibal Tribe; these traps would be more than enough to deal with them if they fell in.

It was unknown how many people could truly get through these traps, come in front of them, allowing them to compete with the warriors of the Cannibal Tribe to test how strong they really were and whether there were any shortcomings.

Of course, although these traps were powerful, they were at most only effective against humans and had no effect on Fierce Beasts. This was not just because the intellect of Fierce Beasts had improved a lot, but also because they had perception far beyond that of humans.

The traps were ineffective on them, just like the Earth King Beast, which, although it hadn’t watched the traps being made, could easily and freely avoid all the traps.

This is also why Yan Shuangshuang never considered teaching the people of the Yanhuang Tribe how to dig traps for hunting. If they learned the method, hunting would undoubtedly become much more convenient.

But this is not a safe world; Fierce Beasts don’t fall for traps at all, and even the more intelligent top predators would not step into traps.

The traps could only deal with humans whose senses were not as sharp as beasts, and in this world, unless humans moved collectively, they were basically destined to be eaten.

If they tasted the sweetness from hunting with traps and became lazy, the downfall of the Yanhuang Tribe would not be far off.

This world is not one where one can take advantage of shortcuts; the danger posed by countless creatures in this world means humans must strengthen themselves and become one of the many strong to have a foothold.

Therefore, Yan Shuangshuang never thought of teaching the Yanhuang Tribe the method of hunting with traps, fearing they would become lazy after enjoying the benefits of traps and no longer focus on their own martial cultivation, relying solely on trap hunting as a method of survival.

Facing the threat of the Cannibal Tribe this time, although Yan Shuangshuang encouraged the people of the Yanhuang Tribe to be riled up and disregard the danger, actually, no one feared the arrival of the Cannibal Tribe more than Yan Shuangshuang.

Some powerful enemies cannot be safely avoided by being afraid or hiding. Moreover, with the Yanhuang Tribe right here, even if Yan Shuangshuang wanted to take them and escape, where could they go?

Yan Shuangshuang had no choice. She could only hide all her fears and face these enemies positively, so Yan Shuangshuang had to show confidence and indifference, but inside she was anxious and worried.

In such an anxious and worried state, Yan Shuangshuang decided to introduce traps to the Yanhuang Tribe, something she never intended to do in her lifetime because she knew that while traps could do nothing against particularly powerful wild and Fierce Beasts, they could deal with the Cannibal Clan, who were human.

Fei Mao was the best at surveillance and scouting in the Cannibal Tribe; his main job in the tribe was to locate large tribes suitable for hunting.

He would then understand the layout around the tribe, determine the attack route, and ensure as few people from the besieged tribe escaped as possible. Once everything was clear, Fei Mao would lead the tribe’s warriors to attack the scouted tribe.

Fei Mao had a habit of choosing prey from those attending the Red Flower Festival in the tribe, and he chose based on rules: either a larger tribe or one with excellent growth potential but not yet fully developed as a prospective Great Tribe.

There was a reason for this choice. As a member of the Cannibal Tribe, Fei Mao knew that the Cannibal Tribe was very unwelcome, but their combat power was so strong that even some Super Tribes dared not provoke them lightly.

Though a Super Tribe could eradicate a Cannibal Tribe, the cost would be so catastrophic that it might reduce a Super Tribe to a Great Tribe.

This great cost is something Super Tribes absolutely do not wish to bear, and Great Tribes simply cannot provoke the Cannibal Tribe, which is why the Cannibal Tribe can exist safely.

However, the fact that Great Tribes can’t provoke the Cannibal Tribe doesn’t mean they don’t want to exterminate it. The Cannibal Tribe also fears being targeted by some powerful Great Tribe.

Like the reasons Super Tribes avoid provoking the Cannibal Tribe, if a highly powerful tribe is willing to bear the cost and confront the Cannibal Tribe head-on, the Cannibal Tribe’s cost would also be severe.

To prevent this from happening, the Cannibal Tribe uses the most brutal methods possible in every attack on a Great Tribe, aiming to ensure that everyone shudders instinctively at the mention of the Cannibal Tribe and doesn’t want to provoke them.

At the same time, the Cannibal Tribe prioritizes eliminating Great Tribes that are not as afraid of them. Another goal is to nip in the bud any Great Tribes with a good development trend.

When Fei Mao secretly went to the Red Flower Festival this time to choose prey, he discovered the Yanhuang Tribe, which he had never heard of before but found it was a powerful Great Tribe with many strong warriors.

Fei Mao deduced that there were many warriors based on the fact that all attendees from the Yanhuang Tribe at the Red Flower Festival were warriors.

This emergence of a powerful tribe is definitely not good news for the Cannibal Tribe. A large tribe with many warriors is very likely to confront the Cannibal Tribe and must be eliminated prematurely, so Fei Mao almost immediately set his sights on the Yanhuang Tribe.

What excited Fei Mao was that after tracking to the Yanhuang Tribe’s lair, he found that the Yanhuang Tribe was not a Great Tribe but a medium-to-large tribe with only three thousand people!

Although Fei Mao didn’t know the exact number of warriors in the Yanhuang Tribe due to his inability to get close, he estimated based on the warrior numbers in previously attacked Great Tribes that a Great Tribe could at most have half of its people as warriors, which was already the limit.
