Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 599: Chapter 572: The Great Chief 90

This little boy is called Chacha, and his tribe is called the Crocodile Tribe, because there are many enormous crocodiles in the river area around their tribe. These crocodiles are extremely formidable, and the people of the Crocodile Tribe greatly admire the crocodiles’ might, which is why they named their tribe the Crocodile Tribe.

The Crocodile Tribe is a great tribe with a population of over seven thousand people, and life is very prosperous. Chacha originally shouldn’t face any danger in such a tribe, but although the Crocodile Tribe’s life is prosperous, it is not peaceful, and even somewhat dangerous.

It’s because the Crocodile Tribe has a neighbor, a cave-dwelling tribe that lives underground, which is very annoying.

They secretly dig tunnels from underground and not only like to steal things but also always steal the Crocodile Tribe’s food during harvest time. The most hateful thing is that this cave-dwelling tribe happens to be a cannibal tribe!

Even though it’s a cannibal tribe, unlike other fierce cannibal tribes, this cave-dwelling cannibal tribe is one even other cannibal tribes look down upon.

Because this cave-dwelling tribe lives underground, their specialty is silently digging holes beneath other tribes, specifically choosing to capture children or ordinary people without much combat ability.

Moreover, once they catch people, they escape through the dug tunnels and never linger to fight. They even dig the underground tunnels into a confusing mess to confuse the pursuers, often leaving the warriors of the captured tribes with no means to chase them.

Because of their cowardly way of hiding underground and never engaging in direct combat, not only do normal tribes hate them, but even cannibal tribes despise them.

The cannibal tribes, although brutal, attack openly and honestly with real weapons, instead of sneaking underground to stealthily capture people. Cannibal tribes, who worship strength, naturally look down on such cave-dwelling tribes.

In the Crocodile Tribe, children, the elderly, and ordinary people are often secretly captured by warriors of these cave-dwelling tribes, and Chacha is one of the children taken by them.

But Chacha is rather clever. When the cave-dwelling tribe warrior was carrying Chacha out of an underground cave, intending to take a shortcut back to his own tribe along the river, Chacha seized the opportunity when the warrior underestimated him as a child and jumped into the river to escape.

At first, Chacha only dared to swim underwater without surfacing, fearing being recaptured by the cave-dwelling tribe warrior. However, in his hurried escape, though he usually swims well, it was his first time swimming underwater for so long.

When Chacha finally determined that the cave-dwelling tribe warrior had given up on him and dared to surface for a breath, his calf suddenly cramped!

A cramp while in water can be life-threatening, and coupled with the strong current of the river, after a couple of struggles Chacha swallowed several mouthfuls of water and lost consciousness. It was then thanks to his lucky encounter with Yan Shuangshuang that he didn’t drown in the river.

Chacha now finds himself carried quite far by the river to unfamiliar surroundings. Having never left his tribe before, Chacha naturally didn’t know how to return to the Crocodile Tribe. Yan Shuangshuang watched as, before long, Chacha clung to her neck, relying on her and refusing to come down. She sighed helplessly.

”Since I’ve saved this child, I can’t just leave him halfway,” thought Yan Shuangshuang, ”especially since the child was swept away by the river.” So, if she just follows the river upstream, she’s bound to find Chacha’s Crocodile Tribe.

Yan Shuangshuang was just about to stand up with Chacha in her arms and walk upstream along the river to see if they could encounter anyone from the Crocodile Tribe searching for Chacha, when she heard Chacha’s stomach growling loudly—it turned out the little guy was hungry.

Temporarily becoming a babysitter, Yan Shuangshuang had no choice but to hunt for some food locally. She couldn’t let the child travel hungry with her, could she?

Now possessing near Level 4 warrior strength, hunting is a trivial task for Yan Shuangshuang, just a simple matter of moving her fingers.

Yan Shuangshuang casually picked up two stones from the ground, surveyed the surroundings, and then flicked her fingers toward the forest, piercing the head of a Back Stabbing Pig lurking in the bushes with a bullet-like hole. The Back Stabbing Pig instantly perished.

The Back Stabbing Pig, not too large, weighed around 200 pounds, considered a medium to small-size prey in this world.

Yan Shuangshuang immediately processed the Back Stabbing Pig by the riverside. With her powerful near Level 4 warrior strength, she could easily slay two Sky Wolf Fierce Beast level opponents on her own.

Moreover, with the presence of a Fierce Beast like the Earth King Beast by her side, Yan Shuangshuang was not afraid of attracting wild beasts with the smell of blood. If they came, they’d just be an addition to her menu, provided those presumptuous beasts dared to provoke her.

While eating the Back Stabbing Pig, Yan Shuangshuang only liked the belly’s prime pork ribs. As for the leg meat, she considered it too lean and dry, and she couldn’t be bothered dealing with the internal organs and head, directly tossing them aside to feed the small carnivorous animals waiting for morsels. After all, she wouldn’t eat them.

The large hunters dared not approach Yan Shuangshuang, as they could sense the immense power within her. These small carnivorous animals, tiny and nimble, Yan Shuangshuang never paid attention to them, disdaining their scant meat.

Of course, there’s also a factor that Yan Shuangshuang is a plushie enthusiast, and these little animals are all fluffy and adorable, making Yan Shuangshuang reluctant to kill them. Perhaps it’s because Yan Shuangshuang harbors no killing intent towards these small creatures that they aren’t afraid of her.

While Yan Shuangshuang was eating, it was not unusual for fearless small animals to come over to scavenge. Yan Shuangshuang couldn’t finish the medium to small prey she caught alone, and with the weather quickly turning bad, she couldn’t take it along. The Earth King Beast was a herbivore, so the leftovers were all given to these small animals.

Yan Shuangshuang processed the hunt swiftly, leaving enough for the two of them to eat and tossing the rest cut into pieces to the side to feed the small animals. Watching Yan Shuangshuang’s wasteful behavior, Chacha couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

Although life in the great tribe was relatively prosperous with enough to eat, enough didn’t mean eating one’s fill of meat. If people in the great tribe could eat their fill of meat, they wouldn’t be losing to the warriors of the cannibal tribe.

In plain terms, the warriors of the cannibal tribe are more formidable than outside warriors precisely because they prioritize eating meat, even if it’s human meat, to ensure they get meat.

To Chacha, meat is a very precious food, and even as the leader’s brother, he seldom gets to eat it. So seeing Yan Shuangshuang’s wasteful behavior pained him, but the meat was Yan Shuangshuang’s, so despite the heartache, he sensibly said nothing.
