Chapter 5: The Blackfang Tribe
Autumn is the hunting season, and autumn hunting is a top priority for the tribe. In order to cope with the harsh winter that is coming and survive until the next spring, it is necessary to stock up on enough food.
Every autumn, the Blue Tiger Division will launch a large-scale hunt.
As the autumn hunt begins, the entire tribe will be operating around the hunting party at high speed. Transporting prey, treating the wounded, handling meat and furs......
The whole tribe is going to be busy!
Autumn is coming, the preliminary reconnaissance of the hunting area has been fully completed, and this year's autumn hunting is about to begin.
Early in the morning, the patriarchs and clan elders began a meeting to formulate a plan for this year's autumn hunting.
Autumn hunting is a brutal test for the tribe, with warriors and clansmen dying every year, but if not enough prey is hunted, more will die during the harsh winter months.
It has been ten years since he sat in the position of patriarch, and Liu Ling knew that this was an extremely important thing.
Once the autumn hunt begins, he will be out on the battlefield, and the entire tribal affairs will be handled by the eight respected clan elders in front of him.
They're really a little too old, old and stubborn. Liu Ling sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The younger generation of fighters has been trained almost, and I plan to let some of them, at least half of them, participate in this year's autumn hunt, they should be truly trained." I don't know what your clan thinks?"
"Patriarch, this is too risky!"
"Once the autumn hunt begins, the hunting team will be fully dispatched, and the tribe's defense capability will inevitably be reduced to a minimum, if even half of the younger generation of warriors are sent, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the tribe to even deal with the attack of wild beasts. Patriarch, it's too risky to do this!"
"Patriarch, don't forget, the Black Fang Tribe is still eyeing us! We must leave enough strength to guard against the Black Fang Tribe's sneak attack!"
......
"Sure enough!"
Liu Ling shook his head secretly, feeling a big head for a while. The old guys are too conservative. It's stupid. They had been living in the tribe for too long to be aware of the dire situation at hand. Otherwise, he would not have sent his daughter to the Wolf King tribe to ask for help at great risk. If the Black Fang Tribe chooses to sneak up during the Autumn Hunt, it won't help if they leave all the young warriors behind.
"Winter!Winter!Winter!"
Liu Ling repeated it three times, and said with a solemn expression: "After the autumn hunt, when the Black Fang tribe has stocked up enough food, they will attack the tribe in winter. All signs have shown that they have run out of patience. We need food, more food than in previous years, and we have to send more people to participate in the autumn hunt. Ladies and gentlemen, we will encounter an offensive and defensive battle in the winter that is vital to the survival of the tribe, and if there is not enough food, if our warriors are hungry in the winter, what will our Green Tiger Division win?"
Patriarch Liu Ling did not, the population of the Black Tooth Tribe was tens of thousands, and it was already much stronger than the Qinghu Tribe. It's a well-known thing, and the old guys aren't even confused about this, right?
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and the air was filled with unease.
Liu Ling secretly gasped, knowing that the old guys must have been frightened. Raising his head slightly, he looked at the top of the main hall, where a huge green tiger head hung upside down, and his eyes inlaid with dark golden gems stared at everyone in silence. The head of the green tiger is the totem of the tribe.
"Ancestor is above, if my Green Tiger Department can give birth to a beast master, why are we so difficult?"
There was a bitterness in his heart, and he really didn't have any chance of winning a war with the Black Fangs. The Black Fang Department can give birth to a beast master, although it does not sit in the tribe, but the younger brother often comes and goes. In the past ten years, the Black Fang tribe has successively annexed two nearby tribes, and now it is finally the turn of the Green Tiger tribe.
If the tribe hadn't suffered a catastrophe ten years ago, it might have been able to fight with the Black Fangs, but unfortunately, the Blue Tiger Department has long since lost its prosperity, and it has just recovered a trace of vitality after ten years of recuperation.
If Yingying's call for help fails......
Liu Ling didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare. Right now, he can only do his best and prepare as much as he can.
"Huh?"
At this moment, he heard a noise outside the hall, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he looked out: "Someone trespassed into the Qinghu Palace?"
The Green Tiger Hall is a sacred place for the tribe, in addition to discussing tribal affairs, performing coming-of-age ceremonies for children, and sealing tribal warriors, it has always forbidden any idle people to approach......
Liu Ling was very angry, his mood was already terrible, and he was about to go out to take a look, when he suddenly felt a touch of golden light sprinkled on his face.
Subconsciously looking up, he was shocked.
"The eyes of the green tiger totem...... Lit?!"
He couldn't help but exclaim, and found that the eyes of the giant tiger's head were getting brighter and brighter, and even sprinkled a golden glow.
In the legend, when the totem's eyes light up, it represents the awakening of the beast master.
The Green Tiger Tribe has been inherited for thousands of years, since the ancestor - the ancestor of the beast master who founded the Green Tiger Department built the Green Tiger Palace, the patriarchs of all generations have longed for the eyes of the totem to shine one day, but unfortunately they have not encountered it once.
Liu Ling never dreamed that at the most dangerous juncture of the tribe, he would have the honor to witness history.
What does it mean when the totem lights up?
It means that the Qinghu Department will have a beast master from now on, which means that the ancestors are blessed and that it is about to become strong......
Liu Ling became excited, and the eight clan elders were also excited, and they all looked at the door of the main hall, wanting to see what kind of heroic and extraordinary clansman it was.
Under their gaze, a teenager snapped his spear. They could feel that the totem's eyes were also watching, because the golden light, more brilliant than the morning light, had enveloped the young man's whole body at this moment, making the young man's figure blurred, but it was extremely powerful, like a god descending from the earth.
Poof!
Liu Ling couldn't help but fall to his knees, his forehead pressed against the ground, and he almost shed tears with excitement, shouting, "Welcome to the Beast Master!"
What's the situation?
It was just a matter of adding special effects, Qin Ping felt a wild aura roaring all over his body. He didn't expect this hall to be so mysterious, and he didn't expect that everyone in the hall would suddenly kneel.
Those people are the most noble existence of the tribe! In the past, Qin Ping could only look up.
Behind him, the two young warriors who had just attacked him were already petrified, their bodies slightly and bloodless, and cold sweat was constantly pouring out on their backs.
Actually shot at the Beast Master?
No matter what Qin Ping's identity was, it was completely different at the moment. Attacking a beast master for no reason? This is a felony, even a capital offense!
Poof, their knees weakened, and they fell to their knees.
"The status of the beast master is so revered, then it will be easy to do!"
Qin Ping was surprised in his heart, secretly happy, pretended to be calm and walked into the stone hall, waved his hand and said: "Get up! I have just awakened, and I am not much stronger than ordinary soldiers, you don't need to be so solemn!"
Liu Ling and the eight clan elders slowly raised their heads and looked at Qin Ping incredulously.
This is the awakened beastmaster?
This...... Isn't that the most useless guy in the tribe who everyone spits on?
Everyone was a little dazed, but they couldn't suppress the joy of the sea. Qin Ping saw that several clan elders were crying with joy, and they were actually full of tears.
“...... It turns out that you are my lucky star!"
An old man with a beast tooth said with shame in his eyes, and his withered palm wiped his tears. He was in charge of managing the distribution of materials, and of course he knew what kind of treatment Qin Ping would receive.
"It's all in the past. ”
Qin Ping waved his hand, it was all in the past, and Qin Ping in the past was dead, and he didn't care about these old accounts.
"Ah, this is the greatest joy of my clan, we should hold a grand celebration to let everyone know that our Green Tiger Department has given birth to a beast master!"
Another clan elder said in a loud voice, hating to share the joy in his heart with everyone.
Patriarch Liu Ling frowned, interrupted the clan elder, and looked at Qin Ping with a look of inquiry and apology: "Master Beastmaster, I don't think there should be a celebration right now, and your identity, instead of being revealed, must be kept highly confidential. After all, you've just woken up, and these are extraordinary times. If the Blackfang tribe gets the news, they will definitely rush at it at all costs. And you, you're bound to be hit hard!"
"The Black Fang Tribe?
Qin Ping showed a look of surprise, his heart tightened, and he nodded thoughtfully: "What the patriarch said is extremely true, and I also think that it should be kept secret. When I'm strong, everything will be fine. ”
The so-called qiāng hit the first bird, and he really didn't think about the evil consequences that would be caused by the exposure of the identity of the beast master.
Being in the Blue Tiger Tribe, it is impossible to be ignorant of the strength of the Black Fang Tribe. It was a large tribe, and it had given birth to a beastmaster.
Hit by such a tribal focus?
How about the King of Ancient Demon Beasts?
