them, but they had only found little food recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hunger brought them back to the settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the wolves could reach the settlement, they stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of 25 humans had come out of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolves became nervous since the five people at the front felt very dangerous to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, they had been able to run rampant in here the last time, and their hunger was egging them on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, they didn't retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunters were taking out their weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clubs made of wood and stone, wooden spears, big stones, and tomahawks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their weapons were primitive, but this was the best the smiths could do without metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the wolves started to run toward the humans, and the hunters felt their hearts beat at insane speeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the General Stage hunters took a huge stone in his hands and pulled back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he threw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The huge stone hit the wolf's head, exploding into gravel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf screeched and fell over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other wolves immediately stopped their advance and looked at their companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hurt wolf tried to stand up, but it immediately fell over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It tried its absolute best to run away and retreat, but it had nearly no control over its legs and constantly fell over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood was leaking out of its nose and mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That stone had severely injured it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the hunters saw the damage this single stone had caused, they almost couldn't believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These wolves were over two meters tall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, a single stone had nearly killed one of them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolves had completely stopped advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, all the fear in the hunters' bodies was replaced with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These wolves had killed their friends!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These wolves were the reason why they had trouble sleeping over the past few days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunters shouted in fury and attacked the wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the hunters had gone insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolves immediately turned around and ran away, but several spears and stones stopped four of them in their tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, only a single wolf escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other five were attacked by the hunters with their weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, some of the hunters had still been injured during these last moments, and one of them had nearly died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been careless, but in the end, the five wolves were killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the people saw that, they exploded into cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the hunters felt something for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people were treating them like heroes, and everyone was thanking them profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many women were looking at them with desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people were bringing over their favorite dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kids were asking them how they could become as strong as them in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next couple of hours, the people returned to partying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next day, the hunters brought down the mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their practice excursions, they saw even more powerful beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were actually many beasts out there, but most of them avoided this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, some powerful beasts would inevitably find their way here again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they had to be ready for everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fear returned, and the people began working again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was a new feeling in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunters had used the smith's weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smiths had used the gatherer's materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone walked on the builder's roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children were talking about their favorite teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was interconnected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a community now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolves' corpses were left for the hunters and the most outstanding people of their craft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, the people tasted beast meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it tasted amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bones and hides were given to the crafters, who created weapons and coats for the hunters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone was tough but brittle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bones were much better for prolonged use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More days passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the old food had been used up, and the missing days of the last crop cycle finally showed their effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn't enough food for everyone left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunters were the first that got their food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farmers got their food next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the gatherers got theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smiths got their food next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remainder was split between the remaining workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the people that didn't work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They got nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, even these stubborn sloths were forced to work by their hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them decided to catch fish to deal with their hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And some of them were quite successful at that, catching more than necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people noticed the fish and wanted to trade them for food, but the fishers said that these fish tasted way better than some grain and rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one fish, they wanted more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While this was going on, the hunters left the small village again to hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to get food for the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just two weeks ago, they would have never done something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after being admired and praised by the entire village, they felt something new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their people were looking up to them and betting on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to care for the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was their duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was their job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More beasts attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More people died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the community survived and pulled together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gatherers found metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smiths created real weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farmers created plenty of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teachers got the children in order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was getting better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was improving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mortal district had finally taken form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it would only take a couple of months until it was ready for the warrior academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before that, something happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone! Immediately take shelter in your houses!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An insanely loud voice echoed throughout the mortal district, and its cadence had a bewitching effect on the mortals, making them follow the orders immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Mage Guards' faces turned into expressions of fear as they fled into the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier around the town turned red as it worked at maximum capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mortals had seen this phenomenon from inside the town, but they had no idea what this meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't sure what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, they saw something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far to the east, some villagers spotted something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a moving mountain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain was probably over five kilometers tall, moving with surprising speed towards the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humans almost couldn't believe what they were seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a matter of seconds, the mountain stopped beside the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a humongous crab made of rock and stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just its shears were over two kilometers long, and its weight shook the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain was almost as big as the entire town!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crab raised one of its shears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a humongous lightning bolt hit the crab in the face, blasting it several kilometers away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gigantic portions of its body broke off, falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another huge lightning bolt blew the crab apart, scattering it across the surrounding kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mortals couldn't form a rational thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't understand what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them noticed a figure flying near the corpse, and they were quite certain it was a human with black robes and silver hair, their body still crackling with lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds later, the gigantic corpse of the crab vanished, and the human entered the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had been the first Ancestral Beast that had attacked the town ever since Shang took over.\u003C\u002Fp>",1254,"2026-06-06T04:07:21.127Z",1,"novelbin.me","42a0fa056b37248237351fcd7a27b09f978be8935d32918f8f5a52459b507357","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-641","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-639",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
