Chapter 30 I Became a Beast God in the Beast World (20)
With the advent of bronze ware, Zhou Jue's status as "divine messenger" became as solid as a rock, and the rabbit-beast tribe also rose in status.
No lionman dared to underestimate these seemingly weak allies anymore.
The rabbits were skillful and clever; their woven baskets, tanned hides, and herbal medicine processing techniques broadened the horizons of the rugged lions.
The lions, on the other hand, used their most powerful force to provide the rabbits with an unprecedented sense of security.
The complementarity between the two tribes is fully demonstrated in their daily interactions.
One is powerful, the other wise; one is brave, the other meticulous.
Under Zhou Jue's deliberate promotion, the integration of the two tribes proceeded at an unimaginable speed.
To celebrate this successful alliance and the birth of the divinely bestowed weapon, Chief Shi Feng decided to hold a grand bonfire party that evening.
As night fell, a huge bonfire roared in the center of the Lion Tribe's square, its light illuminating every excited face.
The lions brought over a huge roasted meat, while the rabbits brought out their brewed sweet and sour fruit wine.
The orcs sang and danced around the campfire, their powerful war songs intertwining with their lively dances, the air filled with the aroma of roasted meat and heartfelt joy.
Even the usually serious clan leader, Shi Feng, had a rare smile on his face. Shi Zhan, his face flushed from drinking, grabbed Ben Yue and started calling him brother, boasting about his future military exploits.
Little White was led by several lively female lion cubs, shyly imitating their dance. Everything seemed so beautiful and peaceful.
The long-standing repression and fear were swept away, and many soldiers on patrol were also infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere, relaxed their vigilance, and joined the carnival.
Zhou Jue didn't participate; she simply sat high up, quietly observing everything. She felt a sense of satisfaction, but even more so, a lingering sense of vigilance.
The more comfortable a place is, the more likely it is to harbor a crisis.
She habitually took out her binoculars and scanned the darkness surrounding her territory.
Suddenly, she stopped. At the edge of the telescope's field of vision, on the dark plain, countless pairs of eyes glowing green, like will-o'-the-wisps, were silently approaching the tribe's territory!
"Enemy attack!"
Zhou Jue's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the noisy square.
She used a small amount of the system's energy to make her voice drown out all the noise. The reveling beastmen instantly fell silent, looking at her with some confusion.
The next second, mournful wolf howls rang out from all directions, tearing apart the tranquility of the night! Countless dark figures surged out of the darkness, like a tide, rushing towards the brightly lit territory of the Giant Lion Tribe.
Leading the pack was the Iron Claw Wolf tribe, known for their agile physiques and sharp claws! Behind them followed several smaller tribes that were dependent on them.
They were clearly well-prepared, launching a deadly surprise attack while the Giant Lion tribe was celebrating and at its most relaxed!
"It's an Ironclaw Wolf!"
Shi Feng instantly sobered up, letting out a deafening roar as he grabbed his battle axe: "All warriors! Prepare for battle!"
"Protect the cubs and the females!" Shi Zhan roared, quickly organizing his warriors to meet the charging enemy.
War broke out without warning.
The rabbits were so frightened by this sudden turn of events that their faces turned pale, and they instinctively huddled together.
Xiao Bai rushed to Zhou Jue's side immediately, anxiously protecting her.
"Lord Wu, what should we do?"
"Don't be afraid."
Zhou Jue's expression was unusually calm: "Xiao Bai, you immediately take the clan leader and Gray Ear, organize all the rabbit beasts, follow the Rock Priestess, and take the wounded to a safe place for treatment."
Luo Qi and Luo Ying, you two are responsible for assisting the Rock Ritual Shaman, using the herbal knowledge I taught you to treat the wounds.
"Yes!" Xiaobai nodded emphatically and immediately got to work.
The old, weak, sick, and disabled orcs were quickly moved to the most fortified caves at the rear.
Zhou Jue, on the other hand, quietly retreated to a higher, more secluded cliff.
From here, she could overlook the entire battlefield. She set up her binoculars and calmly observed the situation. The Ironclaw Wolf tribe was coming on strong, and they had an overwhelming numerical advantage.
Although the warriors of the Giant Lion Tribe were brave, they were caught off guard and their formation was somewhat scattered, so they were caught in a fierce battle for a time.
Shi Zhan wielded a newly forged bronze battle axe. With each swing, he could easily tear open the flesh of a vicious wolf and even sever its bones.
The sharpness of bronze weapons gave them an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield!
However, such weapons are too few, and only a few core warriors, such as Shizhan, are equipped with them.
Most of the lion-man warriors still used bronze or stone weapons, making it extremely difficult for them to fight against the fearless wolf pack. Blood splattered, and howls shook the heavens.
A lion-man warrior was surrounded and attacked by three werewolves. He was struggling to defend himself and was about to have his heart ripped out by a pair of sharp claws.
Just then, a barely perceptible whooshing sound rang out. A small bloody hole suddenly appeared in the center of the werewolf's forehead. Before it could even let out a wail, it fell straight down.
The lion-man warrior, relieved of the pressure, roared and slashed down the other two werewolves. He glanced blankly at the fallen werewolves, not knowing what had happened, but the situation was urgent, and he had no time to think, throwing himself back into the battle.
The same scene played out repeatedly in every corner of the battlefield.
Whenever a lion warrior is in dire straits, a key enemy will inexplicably fall, creating a glimmer of hope for them.
High on the cliff, Zhou Jue expressionlessly put down a pistol that had been fine-tuned by the system and fitted with a silencer; it had only two bullets left. She put away the pistol and took out a crossbow.
This was redeemed with points; the last two shots were her trump card.
The telescope was her eyes, and the crossbow was her spear.
She lurked in the shadows, precisely sniping those werewolves who posed a threat to the battle or were commanders.
The leader of the Ironclaw Wolves, an exceptionally robust silver-grey giant wolf, was directing his troops, attempting to breach the lionmen's defenses through a weak point. He howled incessantly, rallying the surrounding warriors.
"Brother Tong, lock onto that silver-gray wolf."
Target locked.
Zhou Jue calmly calculated the wind speed and distance, then pulled the trigger. *Thud.* A bullet pierced the silver wolf's hind leg with pinpoint accuracy. The silver wolf let out a painful howl, staggered, and fell to the ground.
The interruption of command halted the wolf pack's offensive.
Shi Feng seized the opportunity, roared and led his team in a counterattack, instantly stabilizing the situation.
Behind them, Rock Festival, along with Little White and the rabbit beasts, was frantically treating the wounded.
Although the rabbits were afraid, under the guidance of Luo Qi and Luo Ying, they suppressed their fear and used crushed herbs to clean and bandage the wounds of the injured lions.
Their movements were gentle and delicate, far better than the clumsy lions could handle it themselves.
A lion-man warrior with his belly ripped open, his intestines spilling out, was on the verge of death.
Zhou Jue's voice suddenly rang in Iwaji's mind: "I'll do it."
Rock Festival was taken aback. Although she didn't know if the savior could be saved, she immediately stood up and gave up her seat because of her absolute trust in the divine messenger.
Under rudimentary conditions, a harrowing surgical operation began. A night of carnage ensued, leaving rivers of blood.
