Chapter 42: The Difficult Situation of the Human Race! The Terrified Zhushan Tribe!

After a flurry of chaos, the entire Zhushan Tribe finally entered a state of alert.

After all, this was not the first time they had encountered a beast attack, and they had actually accumulated some experience.

After the elderly, weak, women, and children hid, a group of Human Race warriors, led by Tribal Chief Dashan and armed with weapons crafted from various stones, bamboo, and bones, stood guard at the perimeter fence of the tribe, nervously watching the dust and smoke rapidly rolling in from the distance.

"Listen well, everyone! Once a beast breaks in, we will surround and kill it with all our might! Remember, never fight a beast one-on-one!"

Tribal Chief Dashan instructed the people around him with a solemn face.

"Yes!"

The surrounding Zhushan Tribe warriors shouted in succession, their nerves immediately tightening as they stood ready for battle.

Tribal Chief Dashan turned his head to look at the rolling dust rising outside the bamboo forest, but a look of worry appeared in his eyes.

With such a massive cloud of dust kicked up, just how many beasts had come this time? What made him even more anxious was that many warriors were currently out hunting, and he truly did not know if they could repel these beasts.

A thin, withered old man beside him noticed the worry in Dashan's heart and could not help but soothe him: "Tribal Chief, do not worry. Our tribe is surrounded by tall, densely growing bamboo. Those large beasts will injure themselves if they try to charge in!"

Hearing this, Dashan nodded.

This bamboo forest was the tribal settlement he had personally chosen because it was a natural fortress; the dense bamboo could intercept a large number of beasts outside.

However, he was also very clear that this bamboo forest had no obstructive effect on truly powerful beasts.

Especially those beasts at the Refining Spirit into Void level, which could cast spells; perhaps a single spell attack could destroy the bamboo forest!

Of course, if they really encountered a beast at the Refining Spirit into Void level, they would basically be unable to resist and would have to scatter and flee for their lives! Pondering these thoughts, he silently raised his Beast Bone Spear, ready to fight to the death.

No matter what, he had to protect as many tribespeople as possible so they could escape!

"Rumble..."

The dust outside the bamboo forest drew closer and soon entered the range of the tribe's outer bamboo.

Seeing that the dust was still approaching without being hindered in the slightest, and that large swaths of bamboo were actually falling down, everyone in the Zhushan Tribe felt a chill in their hearts.

It seemed they really had to fight for their lives this time!

The next moment, they all widened their eyes, looks of terror appearing on their faces.

For they saw the silhouettes of the beasts approaching from the dust, and they were terrifying existences as large as small mountains! According to their experience, beasts of this size were absolutely terrifying in strength and were simply not something they could resist!

In the past, when their Zhushan Tribe was in another location, they had encountered such a beast and had been forced to flee!

And now, there were dozens of them!

At this moment, even Tribal Chief Dashan felt despair in his heart and had even abandoned the thought of resistance.

He said to the crowd in a sorrowful tone: "Everyone, abandon resistance! Immediately take the old and weak of the tribe and scatter to escape! Go!"

The eyes of the individual Human Race warriors turned red, but they knew this was not the time for grief; they turned to rush into the tribe to send the tribespeople away.

But just then—

The rumbling sound from the distance suddenly stopped.

This caused the people of the Zhushan Tribe to freeze for a moment, and a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts: Could it be that those beasts had given up the attack?

If that were the case, it would be wonderful! After all, the difficulty of building a new tribe on the dangerous Primordial Land was simply too great.

If they could, they did not want to flee at all. But what made them uneasy was that those beasts, which looked like mountains, had not retreated and were still guarding the outside.

This kept their heartstrings taut, and for a time, they dared not relax.

Under their nervous gaze, the dust in the distance gradually dispersed, revealing the huge figures that had previously been unclear.

A Human Race warrior of the Zhushan Tribe suddenly climbed up a thick bamboo stalk and looked carefully in that direction, and he was instantly stunned.

Below, Dashan could not help but ask: "Qingshi, what do you see?"

The Human Race warrior named Qingshi then snapped out of it.

He swallowed hard, pointed his finger in that direction, and stammered: "Corpse... corpses! Those beasts... they are actually corpses! So many!"

Hearing this, the Human Race warriors below were even more bewildered.

What on earth was going on? Subsequently, more and more Human Race warriors could not help but climb the bamboo themselves to look in that direction, and they were all scared silly one by one.

They never expected that the beasts appearing over there were actually piles of beast corpses stacked like mountains! The corpses themselves were already huge, and piled together, they looked even more terrifying.

But who could hunt so many powerful beasts?

Tribal Chief Dashan immediately thought of the Wu Clan.

This also secretly brought a sense of joy to his heart.

The relationship between the Wu Clan and the Human Race had always been quite good.

In fact, the reason Tribal Chief Dashan was able to possess the strength of the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit was because he had received guidance from a member of the Wu Clan and had consumed that Spirit Fruit.

At this moment, he thought: If it was just a hunting party of the Wu Clan passing by, perhaps we won't need to move!

Just then—

"Whoosh!"

A sound of something piercing the air suddenly reached the ears of the Zhushan Tribe.

Everyone looked up, and their eyes widened sharply once again.

Because they saw a strange object that appeared to be made of wood, appearing above their tribe and emitting a faint golden light.

Without a doubt, this was definitely a magic treasure! This made Dashan and the others nervous all over again.

Because, as far as they knew, the Wu Clan could not use magic treasures! Among all Spiritual Treasures, the Wu Clan could only use weapon-type magic treasures; this was clearly a Flying Magic Treasure, which the Wu Clan should not be able to use, right?

Could it be that those beast corpses were actually hunted by other members of the Demon Race? Thinking that the Demon Race would also kill each other, Tribal Chief Dashan's face turned pale.

What should they do now? It seemed it was already too late for them to escape!

Just as the people of the Zhushan Tribe were anxious and terrified, a figure flew out from the Flying Magic Treasure that had appeared above.

Seeing the appearance of the other party, the people of the Zhushan Tribe were stunned again, even doubting if they were hallucinating.

Because the figure that appeared from the Flying Magic Treasure at this moment was clearly in the form of a human!
