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...
Haru overlooked an important detail: before throwing the grenade, he pulled the pin to ignite the fuse inside the grenade.
Haru only saw the Mira tribesmen throw that thing out, completely unaware of the intricacies involved. They assumed it would explode after being thrown, not realizing that the delay time was determined by the thrower.
Since they love catching grenades so much, let them catch as many as they want.
I instructed Su Su to give the order that all grenades be thrown at a constant speed for five seconds before being thrown, so that they would not explode after landing.
At this moment, Haru saw another batch of grenades being thrown towards them. Haru thought to himself that these people were really persistent. He had already figured out the weaknesses of these things, yet they were still using this old trick.
Many Haru people nowadays want to catch a grenade that's thrown at them and then throw it back, watching the Mila tribe suffer a setback—it's a kind of spiritual enjoyment for them.
Of course, Haru's grenade-catching skills were still very professional. A total of six grenades were thrown, and without exception, Haru caught them all, not letting a single one have a chance to hit the ground.
However, the Mila people who were closer to the pit immediately started digging their heads down.
The Haru were completely oblivious to the gravity of the situation. Instead of throwing the grenades immediately, they deliberately intended to mock the Mira tribe.
They were trying to strike a pose to attract the attention of the Mira tribe, but this time it didn't work like the previous times.
This time, just as their arms reached their highest point, the grenades in their hands exploded directly above Haru's head.
Haru raised the grenade high, and his comrades immediately and heroically sacrificed themselves. The grenades, which originally wouldn't have been so lethal, fell like dominoes after Haru played with them; there were probably dozens of them.
Haru dared not continue like this. They didn't know why these things suddenly exploded again. According to their understanding, they shouldn't have exploded so quickly.
For a moment, Haru didn't know how to deal with this thing. If it were a person, he could grit his teeth and send more people to wear it down.
However, the explosions of these things were completely arbitrary. Haru believed that it must be the work of those cunning Mira tribesmen in secret, otherwise why would these things explode prematurely?
Without Haru coming to stop me, a road about five or six meters wide immediately appeared before me.
When everyone finally saw the road, which was only a few meters wide, the newfound hope ignited an even stronger will to survive in the Mila tribe than usual.
A madman's madness may not always be one-sided; sometimes it may be two-sided. It mainly depends on whether the factors that drive him to madness have matured.
It is now clear that the people of the Mira tribe have seen this path to escape, and this single way out is enough to drive everyone crazy.
No one wants to die unless there's absolutely no other way. Most people in the tribe are someone else's father, son, mother, or daughter.
They have their own homes, and family members they care about. If they lose their place to live, they can move to another place without batting an eye.
But if a family member is gone, it means that no one is destined to see them again in this lifetime, which is the scene that the clan members least want to see.
Now no one backed down; the people of the Mila tribe began shouting encouragement in their indigenous language.
"Nothing can defeat us. Our families are waiting for us to return home. Brothers, we're going to die anyway, so let's charge forward with all our might."
"Yes, every one of us who can get out is better than all of us dying here unjustly. As long as our people continue, we will one day fight our way back!"
…………
Through their enthusiastic encouragement, the members of the Mira tribe reached an unprecedented emotional climax.
When people are emotionally excited, the body's adrenaline secretion also increases. At this moment, the people of the Mila tribe seemed to sweep away their low mood in an instant.
Haru, who had been in a favorable position for a time, was now becoming somewhat anxious.
The people of the Mira tribe began to charge desperately towards this only escape route. Haru tried to stop them, but what they were doing was cutting off their lifeline.
Cutting off someone's path in life is like killing their parents. At this moment, the Mira tribe members, who were all bloodthirsty, ignored the discomfort caused by their wounds and clashed with Haru with their weapons.
After this period of selection, the weaker members of the Mira tribe have already heroically sacrificed their lives in battle.
The remaining tribesmen were basically the elite of the tribe, and the Mira warriors, whose morale had been greatly boosted, were not as easy to kill as before.
Even Haru is starting to doubt life; they're starting to wonder if their mushrooms are fake.
The battle was going well before, with our side even having the upper hand. But in just a short while, the fight has become increasingly difficult, and our casualties are steadily increasing.
After all, they were just prehistoric species, so how could they know that there is a saying called "forced side walking"?
When people are driven to despair, they become insane in order to survive. When a person is desperate and disregards everything, they can fight against ten opponents.
We still have grenades that can cause widespread damage to Haru, which has undoubtedly given the people of the Mira tribe a strong boost of morale.
Now, with their even more frenzied and reckless fighting style, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that one can take on a hundred.
In life-or-death struggles, people improve their strength and experience most rapidly.
The warriors of the Mira tribe were originally known for their beast skills that enhanced their speed and agility. Now, as the two sides were locked in a life-or-death struggle, many Mira warriors gained new insights during the battle.
For example, being able to anticipate the opponent's movements one second in advance, and then using this intuitive anticipation freely in subsequent high-intensity battles, is a significant improvement.
Don't underestimate the importance of that one second of prediction time. In a life-or-death struggle, a second is enough to do a lot of things. For example, it only takes half a second to cut off the opponent's head.
Some Mira warriors even pushed their limits in life-or-death situations, performing actions that were normally difficult to complete with ease when their bodies were under serious threat.
The most typical example here is the two Mira warriors next to Su Su. One of them has an arm injury, which has been bandaged with the flexible bark I prepared in advance and the hemostatic medicine I mixed.
Although he is now fighting with a single-handed mantis finger technique, a half-meter-long cleaver has appeared in his mouth, positioned horizontally towards his injured left hand.
