Chapter 23: Wolf Warriors
Luo Ji’s words clearly laid out the criteria for becoming a ‘Wolf Warrior.’
As the unit description said, warriors capable of challenging wolf packs and killing wolves had undoubtedly proven their strength.
And the people of this era clearly knew better than anyone how terrifying wolf packs were.
Hearing this requirement, they gasped in surprise.
On the other hand, Luo Yong, who was already wearing the wolf bone mask, subconsciously lifted his chin.
He had felt uncomfortable wearing the wolf bone mask on his face just before and was about to take it off.
However, because of Luo Ji’s words, he decisively stopped his hand.
Well, actually, after wearing it for a while, it was quite comfortable…
Feeling the envious gazes of the other warriors in the tribe, Luo Yong couldn’t help but feel a little smug.
He had previously disliked being surrounded by a large group of people, but now he wished the entire tribe would gather around so he could properly show off.
Looking at Luo Yong, who was showing off the mask around the tribal camp, Luo Ji shook his head, somewhat amused.
“Alright, warriors who killed wolves in the previous battle, bring your wolf skulls over.”
Warriors in this era didn’t have the custom of making skulls into helmets or masks.
But they did have the custom of collecting trophies.
The fiercer the beast, the more valuable it was as a trophy, and wolves were clearly among them.
After skinning the wolves and removing the flesh and blood for food, the warriors had taken the wolf skulls back to their tents as trophies and displayed them.
Now, hearing Luo Ji speak, the warriors who had wolf skull trophies all rushed back to their tents.
In just the blink of an eye, 7 wolf skulls were neatly placed in front of Luo Ji.
Speaking of which, one of them was actually his.
After all, in that battle, he had killed a wolf with a single spear thrust, which everyone witnessed.
However, Luo Yong later presented the wolf leader’s body to him.
Luo Ji, who didn’t plan to have two wolf skulls in his tent, gave one to Zhao He to make the old man of the tribe happy.
And now, Zhao He had clearly brought that wolf skull back.
Luo Ji didn’t refuse.
After all, the moment the wolf bone masks were completed, these wolf skulls became strategic resources for their tribe.
With the previous experience and the success rate bonus from the design blueprint, Luo Ji made the remaining 7 wolf bone masks exceptionally smoothly.
Immediately after, there were 7 more clowns wearing wolf bone masks wandering around their tribal camp…
Luo Ji laughed for a while at this, then just let them be.
At the same time, his own wolf bone mask was also kept.
The requirement to become a ‘Wolf Warrior’ was set by him, so how could he go back on his word now?
Furthermore, with his two combat skills, ‘Inspire Morale’ and ‘Weak Point Pursuit,’ he was currently considered an important combat force in the tribe.
He couldn’t neglect the development of his ‘Bravery’ just because he planned to transition to ‘Leadership’ later.
Commanding from the rear and deploying troops was something for when the civilization had developed.
Currently, the Mirror Tribe doesn’t have many warriors.
When a battle truly happened, he would also have to charge into battle with them.
Thus, the two effects of the wolf bone mask served as an extra layer of protection.
Going back into his tent, Luo Ji planned to upgrade his military projects before dinner.
Currently, he has 4 military development projects, ‘Weapon Sharpening,’ ‘Equipment Crafting,’ ‘Campaign Against Barbarians,’ and ‘Military Training.’
Also, after upgrading to level 1, the effect bonus for the ‘Equipment Crafting’ project was a 10% increase in crafting success rate and a 20% increase in crafting efficiency.
This effect was quite useful, but Luo Ji didn’t need it for now because he didn’t have much equipment to craft at the moment.
And for the ‘Military Training’ project to show results, he estimated it would take at least a month, which was too slow.
Given this, Luo Ji unsurprisingly prioritized upgrading the ‘Weapon Sharpening’ project.
With a tap of his finger, his newly abundant military points dropped back down to just 9 points.
The ‘Equipment Crafting’ project had gained 1 point of progress before, meaning his remaining 9 military points were enough to upgrade Equipment Crafting to level 1.
But Luo Ji didn’t plan to do so.
The reason was as stated before, he didn’t need it for now.
According to his prioritization, ‘Military Training’ was higher than ‘Equipment Crafting’.
Unfortunately, the ‘Military Training’ project required 10 military points to upgrade, still one point short.
However, he already has ideas, and more than just one.
Stretching deeply, just as Luo Ji was contemplating what else to do before dinner, a distant warning cry came from outside.
“Enemy! There’s an enemy!!”
Hearing the shout, Luo Ji’s heart skipped a beat.
He grabbed the wolf bone mask next to him and put it on his face, then quickly rushed out of his tent.
Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a few unfamiliar figures quickly flashing through the distant woods.
Without a doubt, they were not people from their tribe, otherwise they wouldn’t be so stealthy.
With no defensive structures built yet, the appearance of enemies caused a certain degree of panic among the women and children of the Mirror Tribe.
At this moment, the difference in loyalty levels became apparent.
Those with loyalty below 80 almost immediately hid back in their tents.
Those with loyalty above 80, although startled, did not retreat.
As for those with loyalty above 90, they simply grabbed whatever wooden sticks or tools were nearby, their eyes firm, completely ready to fight and die for the tribe.
With a quick glance at the varied reactions, Luo Ji didn’t pause as he had no time to bother with any of that.
He immediately issued an order.
“All Wolf Warriors follow me and pursue them!”
“Everyone else stay in the tribe!”
The situation was urgent.
They absolutely could not let those barbarians lurking in the woods escape.
Those barbarians were likely from some other tribe, and if they escaped, the location of the Mirror Tribe would be exposed.
Including himself, a total of 8 Wolf Warriors, armed with weapons, charged towards the few barbarians in the woods like a pack of wolves pouncing on prey!
Beneath the wolf bone mask, Luo Ji’s face was quite grim.
This feeling of wanting to develop peacefully, but having other barbarians constantly provoking you, was incredibly frustrating.
Meanwhile, the barbarians who had unexpectedly stumbled into the Mirror Tribe’s territory were utterly distraught.
Looking at the Wolf Warriors who were about to charge at them in the blink of an eye, their faces were full of terror.
One was so scared his legs gave way, he fell to the ground, then scrambled away on all fours, shouting.
“Monster, there are monsters!!!”
