This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 495 - 299: Hunting the Beast King

After leaving Chi Shao's place, Jiang Xuan returned to his courtyard.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Dong Kui cleaning the courtyard.

"Leader, you're back."

Dong Kui smiled brightly at Jiang Xuan while sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

"These leaves fall every day; you don't need to sweep so diligently."

"I'm waiting for the leader in the courtyard. Since I have nothing else to do, I'm sweeping as I wait."

Dong Kui swept all the fallen leaves into a pile and then placed them on the edge of the vegetable garden using a woven basket made of vines, allowing them to decay and serve as fertilizer.

"Did you need to see me for something?"

Jiang Xuan walked over to the pool to wash the mud off his hands.

"Leader, the frequency of trading food with various tribes has visibly increased. Each tribe is preparing food for the winter. If this were any other year, that would be fine, but the drought has lasted so long this year, and crop yields are much worse than usual. I'm worried that if we trade too much food, we won't have enough for ourselves."

"So, I wanted to ask the leader if we should temporarily halt trading food with other tribes."

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Ensure our tribe's food supply first. Have the warehouse check if we have enough food. If not, suspend food trading."

"Understood!"

With Jiang Xuan's directive, Dong Kui seemed visibly more relaxed.

In recent years, the Vine Tribe's trading area has expanded significantly, making management increasingly difficult. As the trading area manager, Dong Kui faced substantial pressure; every decision had to be made cautiously, especially for more important matters.

"Yeer..."

Just then, Tang Yuan flew back, landing on the open space in front of the courtyard, stirring a strong gust of wind.

Then it swayed and stumbled through the main gate into the courtyard, grabbing Jiang Xuan's clothes and pulling him outside.

"What's going on?"

Because Tang Yuan was too large, even though it tried to grab just a bit of clothing, its enormous beak still left Jiang Xuan's clothes disheveled.

"Yee..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Tang Yuan called out softly again and continued to tug Jiang Xuan outward.

Jiang Xuan had no choice. He said to Dong Kui, "Tang Yuan might have discovered something. You should head back to help. I'll go out with Tang Yuan."

"Understood."

Dong Kui glanced at the massive purple fierce bird and then left the courtyard, returning to the trading area.

"Let go, if we're going out, I need to bring my weapons!"

Jiang Xuan forcefully pushed Tang Yuan's enormous head, freeing his clothes, then went inside the house to gather his beast hide backpack and various weapons.

Afterward, he left the courtyard, climbed onto Tang Yuan's back upon its urging, and was swiftly flown into the sky.

Tang Yuan flew southeast, crossing a river and then a series of mountains, flying for about half a day before finally landing on a mountain peak.

This was an area the Vine Tribe had never ventured into, with no tribes seen along the way, making the location extremely remote.

"Tang Yuan, why did you bring me here?"

Jiang Xuan was curious. Was there something valuable in this place?

Tang Yuan extended its head forward, its beak pointing towards a dense forest below.

"What's there?"

Jiang Xuan looked toward the forest, but due to its dense foliage, he couldn't see anything.

"Whoosh..."

Tang Yuan took Jiang Xuan up again, swooping down towards the forest.

"Yeer!"

Once above the forest, Tang Yuan released a sharp screech piercing the air, startling numerous birds and various beasts and insects hiding in the woods.

While Jiang Xuan was puzzled, a terrifying beast roar suddenly erupted from the forest.

"Howl..."

The roar shook the leaves, and Jiang Xuan, sitting on Tang Yuan's back, felt his hair standing on end.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

A large tree began shaking violently, and soon, an enormous Barbarian Bear climbed to the tree's crown, revealing its gigantic head and exceptionally sharp claws.

Jiang Xuan observed the bent tree and the terrifying aura emanating from the Barbarian Bear, exclaiming, "Beast King!"

Ordinary Barbarian Bears are top predators among beasts, but a Beast King level Barbarian Bear is a tremendously fearsome presence.

Such formidable creatures are ones that even a Five-Color Warrior would avoid, being too mighty to provoke.

"Eee..."

Tang Yuan didn't care about anything else and flew directly over the head of the Beast King Level Barbarian Bear, quite arrogantly.

"Roar!"

The Barbarian Bear, already an irritable creature, couldn't stand Tang Yuan's repeated provocations any longer.

It stood on the tree, gave a sudden push with its legs, trying to jump up and catch Tang Yuan to eat it raw.

"Crack…"

The tree couldn't bear the weight of the Barbarian Bear and broke from the top; the bear failed to jump and instead fell from the tree, crashing down a thicket of branches.

Tang Yuan continued to circle in the sky above the forest, letting out joyful chirps, further provoking the Beast King Level Barbarian Bear.

It was at this moment that Jiang Xuan finally understood.

Tang Yuan was obviously trying to hunt this Barbarian Bear!

It just thought that going alone might be unwise, so it brought Jiang Xuan along as an ally.

Jiang Xuan gave a helpless smile. Although he was a Five-Color Warrior, facing a Beast King Level Barbarian Bear, his strength was somewhat lacking.

Nevertheless, since Tang Yuan had brought him along for assistance, he couldn't betray its trust.

He pulled a large Beast Horn Bow from his back, along with extraordinarily sharp Bronze Feathered Arrows.

This Beast Horn Bow was a gift from Shi Qiu, masterfully crafted with the finest materials, capable of bearing immense power.

Jiang Xuan stood on Tang Yuan's back, drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and slowly pulled back, aiming at the Barbarian Bear's head.

Once the bow was fully drawn and the target sighted, he released the bowstring without hesitation.

The terrifying power accumulated in the bow sent the string straight, and the arrow spun rapidly as it flew out with a sharp whistling sound.

"Whoosh!"

The Barbarian Bear was so large that even in flight, the arrow didn't miss, and the bronze arrowhead embedded deeply into the bear's face.

"Aooo..."

The Barbarian Bear cried out in pain. Although it had thick skin and muscle, getting shot in the face was still incredibly painful.

"Crack!"

The bear, maddened, slapped a nearby tree, breaking it, as its gigantic body rampaged through the forest.

"Too bad, didn't hit the eye."

Jiang Xuan initially aimed to blind one of the bear's eyes to significantly reduce its combat ability.

Unfortunately, he wasn't like Shi Qiu, the Divine Archer; despite the bear's large size, hitting its moving eyes with precision was quite a challenge.

Yet, Jiang Xuan didn't lose heart. He instructed Tang Yuan to maintain balance and repeatedly drew his bow to shoot out all the Bronze Feathered Arrows in his quiver.

Compared to the massive form of the Barbarian Bear, these bronze arrows seemed like toothpicks; unless they struck a vital area, they couldn't inflict significant harm.

But having ten or so toothpicks in its body made the bear's pain unbearable.

"Aooo..."

"Crack, crack..."

The bear's eyes turned red as it frenziedly climbed up a hundred-meter-tall tree, jumping around in attempts to swat down the bothersome purple Fierce Bird and Jiang Xuan, to tear them to pieces.

However, Tang Yuan was capable of flight and moved with speed akin to purple lightning; no matter how high the bear jumped, it couldn't touch Tang Yuan.

After a while, the bear realized the futility and started picking up broken branches and stones from the ground, hurling them into the sky with all its might.

"Whoosh!"

One massive branch flew by near Tang Yuan like a spear, causing Jiang Xuan, standing on Tang Yuan's back, to break out in cold sweat.

The branch was as thick as a water barrel; if it hit, it would potentially shatter all bones in his body.

Tang Yuan, however, showed no fear, maneuvering left and right in the sky, deftly dodging everything the bear threw.

After about two to three hours, the Barbarian Bear finally tired out, coming to a stop and glaring at the purple Fierce Bird above with its teeth bared, panting heavily.

Finally, after toying with the bear for so long, Tang Yuan launched its attack!

"Eee..."

Tang Yuan let out a sharp cry, diving towards the Barbarian Bear like lightning, its sharp claws and beak gleaming coldly.

The Barbarian Bear, though worn out, still jumped up once more, swiping fiercely at Tang Yuan.

But Tang Yuan clearly didn't intend to engage head-on and gained altitude as it neared the bear again, causing the bear's attack to miss.

Afterwards, it continuously dived down from different angles, attacking the Barbarian Bear, leaving bloody trails with its sharp claws. Tang Yuan itself was struck by the bear's claws a few times, losing quite a few purple feathers.

In the forest, an eagle and a bear fought fiercely, leaving other fierce birds and beasts fleeing madly, not daring to join the fray.
