Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 546: Chapter 535: The Great Chief 53

Thinking about the forest and the rushing waves of the big river they encountered earlier, this route shouldn’t be wrong... right? Shuangshuang thought uncertainly, mainly because this world is filled with countless rivers and forests, and Shuangshuang wasn’t sure if the river and forest on the map were the same ones she passed by before.

Just when Shuangshuang was feeling troubled, she suddenly sensed a slight tremor on the ground. Shuangshuang immediately lay down on the ground, pressing her ear to it. It was indeed not an illusion; it seemed like something huge was approaching from not far away, with heavy footsteps, but still at a distance.

Shuangshuang could perceive this because she was an Advanced Warrior, her perception far surpassing that of ordinary warriors. Like now, she sensed something was amiss, while those in the group who imitated her movement on the ground didn’t sense anything unusual.

Even though a big creature was coming, Shuangshuang wasn’t too worried. Among the group, there were ten capable warriors who knew how to refine and utilize their strength, plus herself as an Advanced Warrior. Even if they encountered Fierce Beasts like the Sky Wolf Fierce Beast depicted in the murals, everyone still had the strength to fight. So Shuangshuang didn’t ask everyone to flee but directly instructed them to immediately climb into the trees to conceal their bodies.

No one expressed any dissent, and everyone quickly found the nearest big tree to climb up, perfectly concealing themselves among the dense leaves, Shuangshuang included.

Standing on the top of the largest tree, Shuangshuang hid behind the thick foliage, gazing towards the direction from which the noise came. Soon, her sight fell upon a gigantic creature, which was an enormous bird-like organism.

This creature stood approximately seven to eight meters tall, its size immensely large, with two giant, powerful claws. Its spread wings were thick and heavy, estimated to span over ten meters wide, each coated in short feathers that appeared extremely hard.

These wings seemed very powerful, more akin to a pair of attacking weapons rather than wings meant for flying.

The giant bird’s neck was quite long, appearing both flexible and sturdy, with a large head wrapped in a layer of hardened horn-like material. Its mouth was azure-black and looked extremely sharp.

The bird was so large that each step of its claws made the earth tremble and mountains shake during its run. Plus, as the bird sprinted, its wings continually flapped towards the ground ahead, not to fly but to attack.

Meanwhile, the bird’s head frequently swung downwards, slamming into the earth, creating a huge pit every time its head struck down! Shuangshuang found this attack method unusual, having never seen a creature using its head like a hammer.

With the bird’s hammerhead attack, Shuangshuang finally spotted a large group of people running ahead of it, estimated to number over thirty.

These people were shouting loudly as they ran, but Shuangshuang couldn’t understand what they were screaming. Logically speaking, the language in this world is the same, so she shouldn’t be unable to comprehend.

Though she didn’t understand their shouting, Shuangshuang felt an inexplicable familiarity about their cries, as if she’d heard them before.

While Shuangshuang was pondering this, Yu, who had climbed up with her, suddenly approached Shuangshuang, saying, ”Shuangshuang, these people are like us, followers of the Power God. They’re praying to the Power God, hoping for salvation from their predicament.”

Followers of the Power God! Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows. No wonder she felt familiarity with their chaotic shouting; it was the same syllables Yu would chant during rituals, which she couldn’t understand.

She hadn’t expected to encounter a tribe similar to the Yanhuang Tribe that also worshiped the Power God. Although tribes sharing a deity are rare.

However, when tribes that revere the same deity meet, there’s an innate sense of closeness, as if they’re all relatives.

Yu specifically reminded Shuangshuang that the other side also worships the Power God, implying she wished to save these people. Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows, unfazed by the idea of rescuing them, as the tribe currently needed more people. Judging by these people’s desperate fleeing, they clearly lacked warriors.

A hunting team without warriors likely doesn’t come from a Great Tribe, and even if they did, they must be a decline one.

Like the downfall of the Power Tribe once did, they weren’t even comparable to the Power Tribe, which at its lowest had Ben and her Father Tieh, who were both warriors.

Shuangshuang pondered that maybe after this rescue, she could bring some newcomers to the Yanhuang Tribe in dire need of population, without worrying about conflicting beliefs.

Besides, the giant bird pursuing these people was a formidable opponent, perfect for the hunting team members to practice against, while enabling help. A win-win.

Though she’d decided to take action, Shuangshuang didn’t have everyone rush in to face the terrifying bird head-on, but kept them concealed in the trees.

The best way for those people to evade the giant bird’s attack was through the jungle, which was the optimal choice to escape. This jungle wasn’t as vast as the forest Yanhuang Tribe hunted in; it wasn’t suitable for large creatures to enter.

Of course, Shuangshuang didn’t actually intend to wait until the giant bird ventured into the jungle before ordering everyone to act.

She wanted to train everyone’s combat skills, and if the bird’s advantages were completely nullified, it’d defeat the purpose of their training!

Standing on the tree, Shuangshuang saw these people running fast and felt assured they could make it into the jungle. She was relieved enough to have the eager hunting team members quiet down and focus on hiding.

Everything went as Shuangshuang anticipated; those people energetically dashed to make it into the jungle, and the pursuing bird recklessly followed them in, ending up right beneath everyone.

Shuangshuang decisively waved her hand, and the hidden group in the trees immediately swung their axes and jumped down without hesitation, landing on the giant bird.

Only Shuangshuang stayed on the treetop, holding the Scale Armor Knife alongside Yu, protecting Yu as the Witch, and served as the rear guard for the group, ready to help if people below couldn’t handle the bird.

In fact, the bird was indeed formidable. Sensing people landing on it, the giant bird’s long neck, as agile as a whip, swept back to scrape its back, its head hammering down at everyone like a giant mallet.
