An unusual experience made me realize the value of life, but by the time I looked back, I was already in my twilight years.
It seemed long, yet it passed in a flash.
Bloodthirsty new cr...
However, their tribe is fortunate. With me, a modern person, as a foundation, as long as they can tinker with even a little bit of something, their manpower can unleash ten times or even more combat power.
The next period was the main training phase for beast skills, but what surprised me was that the leader didn't tell everyone how to practice like he would teach martial arts routines.
Instead, every now and then a group of tribesmen would go into the mountains and forests to observe the hunting or fighting of wild beasts, allowing everyone to learn these most practical life-or-death techniques according to their own preferences and to use them in combination with their own actual situation.
The leader's highly free training method has a sense of unconventionality and simplicity.
To help everyone better understand the essence of this, the leader specially demonstrated the beast skills he had mastered and practiced.
The beast techniques the leader practices are mainly tiger-like hunting techniques. The essence of tiger-like techniques lies in their bravery and fearlessness, and their movements emphasize killing with a single blow.
When the leader demonstrated his beast skills, his entire demeanor changed. He lay on his forelimbs like a real saber-toothed tiger, his back arched with power, and his tiger eyes fixed intently on the target ahead.
In conjunction with the Mira tribe's roar technique, a soul-stirring roar resounded, and the chieftain's entire body sprang forward like a bolt of lightning.
The leader, suspended in mid-air, placed his right arm in front of his chest, forming a shape that was neither palm nor claw, somewhat resembling the leopard-style stance in martial arts.
The leader here did not use tiger claws. According to his own understanding, the fingers did not have sharp claws, and it was impossible to kill with claws in one blow.
On the contrary, this leopard-style fist technique with slightly bent palms and contracted knuckles is more practical, as it can cause fatal damage whether it is a slap or a direct thrust to the opponent's throat.
This is also why the leader instructed us to apply the wild animal hunting techniques we had learned based on our own actual circumstances.
At this moment, in front of the leader's leaping figure was a banana tree about the thickness of a calf.
The moment the leader landed, he used the same force he used when chopping wood—the force rose from the ground, a tremendous power quickly passed through the midline of his body, and he lifted himself up with a sudden upward thrust from his chest. This move was somewhat similar to the "White Ape Holding a Peach" move in martial arts.
Using the ground as a base and the feet as fulcrums, the upward force generated is far more ferocious than a downward chop. In martial arts, this move, "White Ape Carrying Peach," primarily targets the opponent's lower jaw.
The jaw is connected to the spine at the back of the head, and if the strength is sufficient, this move is a practical killing technique in traditional martial arts that can kill the enemy in one strike.
At this moment, the leader's beast technique incorporated the saber-toothed tiger's pounce. This pounce and landing action was like adding a large displacement distance to this extremely powerful killing move for chasing and killing.
In addition, the reaction force from the body when jumping and landing will further enhance the lifting force, so the leader's attack should be the strongest attack he has ever shown.
What happened next left everyone speechless with shock. I thought I was already pretty awesome for being able to cut down a tree as thick as a calf with one strike, but I never expected that the leader in front of me was even more powerful than me.
With a loud crack, the banana tree in front of him, about the thickness of a calf, was snapped in half and tilted upwards. The broken banana tree flew upwards in an arc before crashing back to the ground.
It must be said that the force of this blow was truly terrifying. Although the leader deduced that it was not the kind of hard tree that I had cut down, being able to deflect a banana tree with such excellent resilience using only physical strength is something that ordinary martial arts masters cannot do.
This is a true life-or-death technique without any fancy moves, and it's much more reliable than those self-proclaimed "Master Ma"s on the internet who boast about challenging modern boxing.
Without the rules being enforced, this strike from the leader would be more than just a knockout. The human head is inherently fragile; if the opponent were to take this hit, the audience would certainly gasp in surprise.
Because his head is very likely already at least ten meters away.
The leader exhaled a breath of stale air, then looked at the still-surprised crowd, clapped his hands with a smile, and said...
"As long as everyone practices diligently, learns and observes more, and integrates what they learn with their own experience, everyone can achieve this."
I know these are the leader's words to encourage everyone. Only I, a modern person, know how powerful this attack is. Achieving such an effect is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Everyone immediately became excited, especially the young natives who were participating in the training for the first time. They were all full of energy and began to search for all kinds of animals to understand the secrets of animal skills.
Now that everyone's physical foundation is solid, there's not much room for improvement.
As for how high everyone can reach, that depends on their individual comprehension abilities; the latter half is not about brute force but about skill.
Just as I was pondering which ferocious beast I should choose to experience the essence of beast techniques, the leader and Dante walked towards me together.
At this point, the leader spoke while Dante, who was beside him, translated for me.
The main question is as follows:
"Sir, the chieftain has heard that your bow and arrow are very powerful. May he try them out?"
Without thinking, I grabbed a crossbow and demonstrated to the chief how to string it, release an arrow, and fire. Then I handed the strung crossbow to the chief and asked him to shoot a shot at a tree to test it out.
With Dante's explanation, the leader quickly grasped the essentials of the crossbow. He held the crossbow horizontally, aimed at a large tree twenty meters away, and pulled the trigger.
"Buzz..."
"Whoosh!"
With a powerful twang of the bowstring, the arrow whistled through the air. Just from the sound, the leader knew that the power of this bow and arrow was far superior to their own; it was at least several times stronger.
The arrow was deeply embedded in the tree, its fletching still trembling from the immense force.
The chieftain walked over and looked at the arrow deeply embedded in the tree trunk, trying to pull it out by hand. But the arrow's force was far beyond what human strength could easily remove.
Although he was somewhat prepared, the leader was still shocked by what he saw. If these bows and arrows were used against the Haru, they could surely kill them from a distance.
The chieftain asked me somewhat embarrassedly if I could help them make some bows and arrows like these, and that we could discuss any conditions.
I immediately smiled and shook my head. It wasn't that I didn't want to make crossbows for everyone. It was just that although this thing was very powerful, the speed at which it loaded arrows was not fast, even slower than traditional bows and arrows.
If we use this against Haru, we'll definitely be at a disadvantage. The leader also said that the enemy's main advantage is their numbers; their individual strength is not a threat.
Seeing me shake my head, the chieftain frowned in disappointment. Dante, standing nearby, quickly begged me to help their tribe, as only I could solve their problem with ranged weapons.
