Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 572: Chapter 549: Grand Leader 67

Only after settling the people of the Traveler Tribe could she put her mind at ease and continue her life of travel before becoming a warrior, experiencing the thrill of life and death to break through the barrier of a Second-level Warrior.

Yan Shuangshuang had not been traveling for long, so this Traveler Tribe wasn’t too far from the Yanhuang Tribe. Although there were many people carrying many things, making it inevitable to move slowly, Yan Shuangshuang calculated that with the physical strength of the people in this world, ten days would be more than enough for everyone to reach the Yanhuang Tribe.

Once officially on the road, although there were minor issues constantly cropping up, such as hunting problems, food problems, and sleeping problems, there was no major trouble. The more than five hundred people traveled in a bustle, and even when passing through jungles and mountains, the top predators encountered would instinctively avoid the crowd.

Humans were originally one of the top predators. Though a group is different than an individual, the combined strength of so many people was enough to stand at the top of the food chain, so naturally, no predator dared to find trouble.

When Yan Shuangshuang returned to the Yanhuang Tribe, the first to greet her was not a person from the Yanhuang Tribe, but the sound of someone hearing of her return. The Earth King Beast, which ran from afar to welcome Yan Shuangshuang, shook the ground with each heavy step due to its massive size.

The Earth King Beast, now larger than a Sky Wolf Fierce Beast, had grown and become more robust because of its good diet over time. Its enormous body with menacing spikes and razor-sharp scale armor gave a tremendous sense of impact!

Just as Yan Shuangshuang was when she first encountered the Earth King Beast, Sang Nan and everyone in the Traveler Tribe were frightened by the enormous size and intimidating equipment of the Earth King Beast!

They even instinctively assumed defensive postures, and if it weren’t for knowing that hunters have a natural instinct to pursue prey, the people of the Traveler Tribe would have wanted to pull Yan Shuangshuang to turn and flee, far away from this terrifying creature akin to a mini-monster!

Though they didn’t feel the aura of a Fierce Beast from the Earth King Beast, seeing its massive form and menacing equipment, they knew that this beast must not be easy to deal with, and its combat power must be formidable.

Moreover, the Earth King Beast was not just covered in sharp spikes and scale armor; fighting it directly would be impossible, making it more difficult than dealing with a Sky Wolf Fierce Beast that could fly high in the sky.

But when they saw the fierce Earth King Beast heading straight for Yan Shuangshuang, everyone showed a determined stance. Yan Shuangshuang had invited them to join the Yanhuang Tribe; this recognition and acceptance of them, not minding that they were travelers, moved the people of the Traveler Tribe deeply.

The people of the Traveler Tribe had long regarded Yan Shuangshuang as a companion and a member of their tribe. If this Earth King Beast dared to harm Yan Shuangshuang, no matter how terrifying it was, they wouldn’t retreat but would ensure Yan Shuangshuang’s safety.

However, they worried for nothing. The mighty Earth King Beast ran over with impressive momentum but agilely stopped just before reaching Yan Shuangshuang. Its massive head lowered, and its damp nose continuously nudged Yan Shuangshuang’s raised palm with what was clearly a display of affection!

Watching Yan Shuangshuang intimately interact with the Earth King Beast, the people of the Traveler Tribe went from shock to amazement to utter delight. The fact that Yan Shuangshuang could be so close to this terrifying giant beast meant that this Earth King Beast must have been raised by the Yanhuang Tribe.

To be able to raise such a terrifying giant beast, the tribe must be very affluent, otherwise how could they afford to raise such a beast comparable to a Fierce Beast. Of course, the Earth King Beast hadn’t revealed its large flat teeth yet, and the Traveler Tribe people didn’t yet know that the Earth King Beast was a herbivore.

The Earth King Beast indeed had overwhelming combat power, and no wild beast dared to provoke it without reason. The Earth King Beast was like a walking armory—not only was there no way to attack but also no way to bite.

The people of the Traveler Tribe thought well, believing that the presence of such a giant beast could surely deter surrounding hunters, making the tribe’s safety not a concern.

Similarly, with such a terrifying giant beast around, no predator would dare to attack the Yanhuang Tribe. At the same time, being able to afford to raise such a terrifying giant beast implies that there must be no shortage of food within the tribe. Therefore, it was indeed a correct decision for them to join the Yanhuang Tribe. The only worry now was whether the Yanhuang Tribe would accept them, the Traveler Tribe.

Yan Shuangshuang and the Earth King Beast that had missed her over the few days apart shared a moment of affection. After remembering that there were still important matters to attend to, Yan Shuangshuang patted the Earth King Beast’s big nose and continued to lead the group into the tribe.

Along the way, Yan Shuangshuang was a bit puzzled at not seeing anyone from the tribe until she entered near the cave and realized it was because she returned at a very coincidental time, just as the people of the Yanhuang Tribe were sorting the White Stone Fruits.

This year, the White Stone Fruit Forest yielded an exceptionally large quantity of White Stone Fruits, and this time, the fruits were also very large, making it another great harvest.

The new White Stone Fruits had already begun to gradually mature, while last year’s harvested White Stone Fruits had not yet been finished. Everyone was occupied with taking out the last year’s White Stone Fruits to consume them quickly, while storing this year’s newly picked, longer-lasting White Stone Fruits.

Currently, the biggest headache in the Yanhuang Tribe was no longer the lack of food and people being hungry, but having too much food, worrying about how to prevent this food from rotting due to not being consumed in time.

The crucial point is that White Stone Fruits cannot be stored by salting like meat; although their shelf life is very long and they don’t spoil after a year, they are still plants and will eventually spoil.

If these White Stone Fruits cannot be consumed in time, they will ultimately rot and be wasted. But there aren’t many people in the Yanhuang Tribe; no matter how much they eat, they can’t finish it. Truly, this is a sweet worry.

When Sang Nan and the people of the Traveler Tribe arrived at the Yanhuang Tribe, the first thing they saw was the several large piles of White Stone Fruits stacked like small mountains on the open space outside the cave!

This spectacular scene left the Traveler Tribe people utterly dumbfounded. The White Stone Fruit tastes exceptionally good and isn’t usually abundant, thus qualifying as a luxury food.

Yan Shuangshuang encountered an extraordinary number of White Stone Fruits in the White Stone Fruit Forest she found, a phenomenon that could be called a miracle. The only explanation Yan Shuangshuang could offer was that the land and climate there were particularly conducive to the growth of White Stone Fruits.

No matter the reason, seeing so many White Stone Fruits there settles the hearts of the Traveler Tribe, who had followed Yan Shuangshuang all the way without regret but with some unease, worried whether the Yanhuang Tribe had enough food to support so many people.
