CHAPTER 503: CHAPTER 494: THE GREAT CHIEF - 12 LI YING PERSONALLY REWARDS 10,000

However, Yan Shuangshuang believes that if the people of the Power Tribe can establish a good relationship with the Earth King Beast, ideally even develop some feelings, and when the Earth King Beast moves, it avoids humans, and people are just a bit more cautious, there is a chance this big bodyguard could be tamed.

Currently, it seems that this Earth King Beast likes to eat tender leaves. During the previous gathering of these leaves, Tie told Yan Shuangshuang that this vast area, including the Power Tribe, is within the territory of the Earth King Beast. Moreover, there is only this one Earth King Beast nearby, and other wild beasts would hide away as soon as they see the Earth King Beast.

However, the Hunting Team members, being intelligent creatures, have encountered the Earth King Beast several times on narrow paths. Knowing the gentle temperament of the Earth King Beast, they no longer fear it.

Sometimes when the Hunting Team is exhausted from hunting, the luckiest thing is to run into the Earth King Beast while it is resting. Everyone can relax and take a break near the Earth King Beast because nothing dares to provoke it.

When the Earth King Beast passes by, no matter how fierce the beast is, it will flee away. Just now, when Yan Shuangshuang was on the giant tree, she saw a huge monkey that looked very much like a Titan Giant Ape running away the moment it saw the Earth King Beast!

When the Hunting Team saw that giant monkey, they broke into a sweat, not expecting there to be a giant ape so close by. Giant apes are top predators, unlike the previous giant python that would avoid people; giant apes would attack humans.

Luckily, the appearance of the Earth King Beast scared away the giant ape, otherwise, if the Hunting Team encountered it, it wouldn’t have been an issue without Yan Shuangshuang, but now with her as a key protected target, ensuring her safety while retreating from the giant ape would be difficult, and any slip-up could lead to casualties.

Although Yan Shuangshuang is intent on coaxing the Earth King Beast to become the Power Tribe’s guardian beast, this is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Yan Shuangshuang plans that whenever the Hunting Team goes out hunting and encounters the Earth King Beast, they’ll feed it once, hoping that over time, they can gain some affection from it and develop a bond.

After the hot season passes, she plans to store some high-quality fodder with everyone’s help, and when food becomes scarce during the cold season, it can be used to entice the Earth King Beast. If their favorability is high enough, they might really manage to bring this enormous bodyguard to their tribe.

Although Yan Shuangshuang has made up her mind to win the Earth King Beast’s favor, filling their bellies is the immediate priority, while her mind spins with sugar-coated bullets for the Earth King Beast, her hands are gnawing on jerky.

After the Hunting Team had rested and eaten near the Earth King Beast, Yan Shuangshuang got up and led everyone towards the previously identified area with food, as eating is now the most important thing, and everything else must take a back seat.

The journey progressed quite smoothly this time, with only a few small animals along the way, and no large wild creatures appeared.

As everyone ventured further, the big gift in Yan Shuangshuang’s mind began to sound, indicating that the edible plants ahead were getting very close.

Yan Shuangshuang felt a bit excited because the big gift in her mind hinted that there was a large area of edible plants this time, which might solve the Power Tribe’s food problem for the hot season!

Yan Shuangshuang’s excited expression infected the Hunting Team members, lifting their spirits, but everyone, though happy, moved with even more caution.

The reason is simple: this location is beyond the areas the Hunting Team usually frequents; it’s entirely new territory. The Hunting Team had never been here before, and they didn’t know if there were any formidable beasts or toxins present, requiring everyone to be particularly careful.

Just as they were nearing the edible plants, a massive shadow suddenly appeared over their heads. Yan Shuangshuang looked up to see a giant ape descending from above, the same one scared off by the Earth King Beast earlier, akin to the Titan Giant Ape!

Yan Shuangshuang didn’t expect the giant ape to not have fled far and seemingly was following their group, clearly having marked them as prey!

Upon seeing the giant ape, Ben and Tie immediately shouted a warning, their muscles instantly swelling up, and quickly grabbed the stone axes tied with vines at their waists, ready for a standoff against the giant ape!

Other Hunting Team members instinctively formed a group of four to firmly protect Yan Shuangshuang in the middle, while the rest wielded stone axes, shouted to gather energy, and moved in a fan shape to surround the giant ape.

The giant ape, though massive in form, had fought humans enough to know that these tiny beings were mighty predators, so did not attack immediately but assumed a defensive posture, carefully observing the Hunting Team members.

Ben and Tie, worried for Yan Shuangshuang’s safety, intended to end the battle quickly, shouted in unison, activated their Warrior Power, and leapt with their stone axes raised! Both men jumped over ten meters high, even towering over the giant ape!

Using their downward momentum, the two aimed to chop at the giant ape’s head with their stone axes!

The giant ape let out a roar, its arm muscles bulging, and its fists swung to the sides smartly, trying to neutralize Ben and Tie’s forces with lateral blows to their stone axes.

With rich combat experience, Ben and Tie paid no heed to the giant ape’s moves, instead switching to a horizontal cut, directly slicing the edge of their stone axes into the giant ape’s forepaws.

Roar! The giant ape roared painfully, with Ben and Tie’s single horizontal cut opening two large wounds on the outer sides of the giant ape’s forepaws! Although the wound seemed minor given the giant ape’s vast size.

But the Hunting Team members exploited this by sneakily attacking. Taking advantage of the giant ape’s focus on Ben and Tie, they rushed with their stone axes to smash fiercely at the giant ape’s toe claws! The giant ape howled more due to the sharp pain in its toe claws!

Maddened by the pain, the giant ape leapt frantically, soaring over twenty meters high, and with fists clenched, slammed down at the ground, intending to crush everyone into pulp with one blow!

Of course, the people wouldn’t stand still to be hit. Each launched into a swift leap to spread out, with Yan Shuangshuang also aided by two Hunting Team members to leap aside to a safe clearing.

The giant ape’s fists landed hard on empty ground, creating a huge crater with the force, causing nearby large stones to bounce up a meter into the air!
