Su Bai stepped up to the sentry post, his dark eyes peering through the telescope into the distance.

 

Most of what his gaze could reach was darkness, with only the areas where fire basins were placed showing any light.

 

Other places were like chaos itself, with no visible light anywhere, making it impossible to see what the surrounding environment looked like.

 

“It’s terrible.” Su Bai lowered the telescope, finding it even darker than he had imagined.

 

Originally, he thought it would be like night-time, where one could at least see something to some extent, but he never expected it to be dark to such a degree.

 

“Shaman, the Warriors all have rather good eyesight, so they’ll definitely keep a close watch on the Ferocious Beasts.” Yan Hua said.

 

This was indeed the case, as the Flame Dragon Tribe’s Warriors ate quite a lot of meat daily, with most of it being the Meat and Blood of various Ferocious Beasts.

 

Once that Ferocious Beast Meat and Blood was refined into their strength, it not only strengthened the body and increased combat power, but most importantly, some bodily functions could also show obvious improvements.

 

This included hearing, smell, and eyesight. All these sensory aspects could be significantly enhanced.

 

This was also why others in the Tribe all had night blindness, except for the Warriors.

 

“I know.” Su Bai had asked about this aspect before.

 

This was also why he so eagerly anticipated the System producing carrots, as that would allow the Tribe’s people to properly manage their night blindness.

 

There was no need to worry about the Warriors, since they could regularly eat Ferocious Beast Meat and Blood, so night blindness couldn’t manifest in them at all.

 

“Shaman, why are all the Ferocious Beasts that appeared this time different?” Sha Lan asked. She really could not understand this point. Why was this year so different from previous years?

 

The several waves of Ferocious Beasts from this morning, as well as the Ferocious Beasts that appeared yesterday, were all ones they had never seen before. Even the ones they had seen were only a minority.

 

“I don’t know this either. When the Market opens, we can ask people from other Tribes and might be able to find out.” Su Bai said calmly.

 

Ever since learning yesterday that those Ferocious Beasts were all newly appeared ones, he had seriously pondered the reasons. However, no conclusion could be drawn.

 

So, he stopped dwelling on this point. Anyway, when spring arrives, people from other Tribes would come. There would be very many people then, so they could ask around at that time and might get answers.

 

“That’s true. Our Tribe might not have anyone who recognises them, but other Tribes might.” Sha Lan said, tapping her chin with her index finger. “And there will be very many people then, all from various Tribes.”

 

*Wooo woo woo…*

*Dong dong dong…*

 

Waves of horn sounds and drum beats rang out once again. Ferocious Beasts had appeared again.

 

“Everyone, don’t be anxious. Just respond as usual.” Su Bai encouraged the Warriors.

 

Right now, he very much wanted to see up close what the battle would be like, and also wanted to see what these Chimera Ferocious Beasts they spoke of actually looked like.

 

“Yes!” The Warriors responded in unison.

 

*Step step step…*

 

The Warriors immediately started running, preparing to meet the appearing Ferocious Beasts. This time, they were all filled with confidence.

 

Everyone was very different from before. Yesterday there had still been some panic, since the Ferocious Beasts they saw were all unfamiliar. But now it was different. Everyone was more composed, because they knew those Ferocious Beasts would be dealt with just the same.

 

The tactics and coordination between Warriors were excellent. This time, it only took half an hour to resolve the invading Ferocious Beasts.

 

“Excellent.” Su Bai watched from the side with great satisfaction. The current results were inseparable from their training.

 

“Shaman, we’ve achieved victory once again!” Yan Hua was so happy she nearly jumped up.

 

Just now, the firearm squad had not participated. Everything was resolved by the recurve bow squad and explosive package squad.

 

The Ferocious Beasts that appeared this time were not large, and did not have very hard shells either, so they could be directly resolved with explosive packages.

 

“I saw it. Everyone coordinated very well.” Su Bai laughed heartily.

 

These people were relatively easy to manage and could more easily display their original strength. After all, this era prioritised food and Tribe above all else, so everyone had a very strong sense of order. Because they knew that only by cooperating could they receive food and hunt larger prey. Even invasions from other Tribes could be better resisted, and everyone would need to help each other out.

 

As such, so long as they were guided with the right tactics, they could display great strength.

 

“Shaman, let’s return to the Yong’an Building to rest first. The next wave of Ferocious Beasts might not come so quickly.” Yan Hua said, worried that the outside weather was too cold.

 

Su Bai looked up at the Blood Moon in the sky and nodded. “En, notify me of any urgent situation.”

 

They could not relax before it was over, even though they had gained tremendous advantage now.

 

“Yes,” Yan Hua nodded.

 

*Step step step…*

 

Under the escort of several Warriors, Su Bai got onto the carriage and headed straight towards the Yong’an Building.

 

“Shaman, there’s still one day left before it ends.” Yu Ying said, blinking her pink eyes.

 

Just now at the sentry post, Yu Ying’s face had been full of worry, afraid that something might happen to the Shaman.

 

“Yes, it will end soon, and the Tribe will see light again.” Su Bai said, rubbing Yu Ying’s head.

 

He knew Yu Ying had been worrying about him all along, so he gave her a gentle pat on the head.

 

“Soon, our Tribe will have many people.” Yu Ying began to feel some anticipation.

 

The reason she felt anticipation was wanting to see the Tribe develop further. The Tribe now had many amazing things, just waiting for those people to come and trade.

 

This way, the Flame Dragon Tribe’s people would not need to make a special trip to the Spotted Deer Tribe, so everyone could stay in the Tribe.

 

“You might be busy then.” Su Bai said, lightly touching her nose.

 

Yu Ying innocently widened her pink eyes and asked, “Shaman, what can I help with?”

 

“You’ll need to teach those people how to make preserved meat, how to make dried fish and so on, so we can mass produce them.” Su Bai explained.

 

Yu Ying’s culinary skill was amazing. Many delicious foods now came from her hands. Although many were learned from Su Bai, Yu Ying had already mastered them all skillfully.

 

“Shaman, leave this task to me!” Yu Ying nodded emphatically. She loved this task far too much.

 

“Good,” Su Bai smiled warmly.
