The hyena king tried to stand up, but before it could struggle to its feet, Qi Xu had already stepped on its back with his left foot. The moment his wings spread, the sharp tips of his feathers pressed against the back of its neck, the force perfectly controlled.

It was rendered immobile without being fatally injured.

"Do you submit?"

The hyena king struggled several times, but its back was firmly crushed. The chill on the back of its neck made its whole body stiffen, and its previous arrogance vanished. It could only growl in resentment, "...I give up."

Qi Xu was also covered in a cold sweat and felt very nervous.

If it were his original body, Qi Xu would have the courage to fight even a sleeping behemoth, let alone a hyena king.

The problem is, I am currently just a large black bird that has not yet fully reached adulthood.

After the battle, Qi Xu clearly noticed that all the animals around her were looking at her differently.

Those gazes that were originally filled with scrutiny and doubt have now been replaced by satisfaction and admiration.

The hyenas were not the strongest creatures; the strongest were probably the Tiger-Backed Bear King and the Falcon King. However, these two stood on either side of Qi Xu, showing no intention of attacking and even appearing to be protecting him.

“If no one else steps forward, I’d like to give it a try.”

The queen ant arrived, and not only did she come, but she also brought all her colonies with her. She admitted that Qi Xu was right; no colony could truly remain uninvolved.

If they don't seize this opportunity to make another effort, all races will be slowly tortured to death by the sleeping behemoth.

Qi Xu nodded, taking the initiative.

"To be a leader, one must not only be strong personally, but also know how to command battles. There are 47 races present. How about we each select 100 combat units and have a competition?"

The queen ant disagreed, saying, "The Falcon King and the Tiger-backed Bear King are both by your side. If you choose them, I have no chance of winning no matter what I choose."

Qi Xu confidently replied, "I'll let you choose first."

The queen ant frowned and thought for a while, but still wanted to have a 1v1 match with Qi Xu.

But Falcon King became interested. "Alright, now that we've seen your demonstration of individual strength, let's meet again and see what real combat command looks like."

All the groups present shared the same attitude: they did not demand that their leader be stronger than everyone else, since no matter how strong they were, they could not be stronger than the sleeping behemoth; otherwise, there would be no need to gather everyone together today.

But you always need to demonstrate skills that others don't have. The term "combat command" is novel, and that's a good example.

The queen ant agreed and, without any hesitation, directly selected the strongest in her mind, almost all of whom were leaders of their respective tribes.

Qi Xu waited patiently on the sidelines until the queen ant was chosen before he began to select his own team.

Qi Xu didn't look at the strong ones that the queen ant had left behind. Instead, he pointed to several relatively small and even inconspicuous groups, such as the mole tribe that was good at digging holes, the bee tribe that could accurately throw poison needles, the wild rabbit tribe that ran extremely fast, and the lark tribe that could simulate various sounds.

They even included Little Tiger Back Bear Xiao Shuai, and Little Five and Little Six, who were clearly not adults. Regardless of how much people sighed, the little guys were genuinely happy!

It charged forward with a howling cry.
