Chapter 69: Whoever is Distracted, Will Die.
On the outer edge of the western forest, the starving barbarians of the Black Jackal Tribe, driven by a will to survive, saw their morale rise instead of fall.
They actually managed to withstand the ‘deterrence’ effect of the wolf warriors, and the two groups furiously clashed.
Luo Yong chopped down an incoming barbarian with an axe, then, without turning his head, asked the person behind him.
“Brother Ye Shan, can you still hold on?”
Ye Shan, the captain of the hunting team, was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties.
With a sturdy physique, he was originally a tribal warrior.
After Luo Ji began to reorganize the tribe, he formed the hunting team, and as someone with the ‘Old Hunter’ skill, Ye Shan naturally became a member of the hunting team.
Later, due to his outstanding results, Luo Ji promoted him to hunting team captain.
“Still alright.”
Ye Shan quickly scanned his surroundings, not daring to speak too confidently.
As an experienced veteran, how could he not see how bad the current situation was?
Although their tribe’s wolf warriors were all exceptionally strong, even heroes can’t withstand overwhelming numbers.
To snatch food, the men of the Black Jackal Tribe had probably poured its full force.
Over twenty barbarians with weapons had them completely surrounded.
And although their hunting team also had nine men, all armed with weapons, they were fighting cautiously to protect the prey they had caught.
They wanted to break through but couldn’t.
Unless they left the prey behind, the starving devils of the Black Jackal Tribe would cling to them relentlessly.
However, leaving the prey was impossible, people in this era would not yield an inch when it came to fighting over food!
“Damn it! These guys are truly starving mad!”
Facing these desperadoes who would rather die fighting than starve, even Luo Yong felt significant pressure.
For a moment, he actually felt a suffocating sense of being restrained.
Just then, a stone axe carrying immense power directly chopped down at him from within the crowd.
Sensing the threat, a fierce glint flashed in Luo Yong’s eyes.
This frustrating battle had somewhat ignited the ferocity in his bones.
Facing the approaching attack, he did not retreat.
Instead, he swung his axe back, completely adopting an offensive-for-offensive stance, ready to fight to the death with his opponent!
The two stone axes, carrying dull whistles, instantly crashed together.
A clanging sound erupted as their blades collided.
The unpolished, slightly rough stone axe was immediately chipped.
At first glance, this exchange of blows clearly showed Luo Yong gaining the upper hand.
However, there was no joy on Luo Yong’s face.
Feeling the continuous pressing force from the opponent’s stone axe, Luo Yong’s thick eyebrows almost twisted together.
On his right forearm, veins instantly bulged.
His raw, brute strength continuously erupted, forcefully pushing back the power exerted by his opponent!
His certain-kill blow was actually pushed back by brute force.
The barbarian warrior who delivered that strike also showed a hint of disbelief on his face.
“This monster has so much strength!”
“You’re not bad either.”
Luo Yong, wearing a wolf-bone mask, spoke with a muffled sound, adding a touch of fierceness to his whole demeanor.
At this moment, in this contest of strength, the two evenly matched opponents were sizing each other up.
Only then did Luo Yong realize that although his opponent’s weapon was also a stone axe, the handle part was much longer than his own stone axe.
One end also had a spearhead, making it look like a stone spear and a stone axe were bound together.
If Luo Ji were standing here, he would instantly recognize that the barbarian of the Black Jackal Tribe held a long-handled axe, also known as a battle axe!
However, Luo Yong was clearly not one to overthink.
In his opinion, it was just an axe with a slightly longer handle, it wasn’t much different from the stone axes in his hands.
In fact, the two stone axes in his hands, meticulously polished by the Armament Department, were clearly superior in quality.
However, Luo Yong, holding this thought, soon suffered a great disadvantage in his opponent’s hands.
The opponent wielded the battle axe skillfully.
Relying on the length of the handle, each swing was powerful and heavy, effectively nullifying Luo Yong’s strength advantage.
With this premise, the long-handled axe’s superior attack range also made Luo Yong feel uncomfortable.
Luo Yong had never imagined that besides chopping, a stone axe could also be used for thrusting attacks.
But the battle axe before him clearly achieved this, the added spearhead at the tip gave the weapon an additional offensive variation.
“This guy is a bit tricky!”
A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Just now, the battle axe in the barbarian’s hand grazed past his forehead, almost splitting his head open!
The life or death moment of danger made Luo Yong’s breathing catch.
Unbeknownst to him, the barbarian wielding the battle axe also felt like he’d seen a ghost.
This monstrous looking opponent, wielding dual axes, had evaded his killing moves time and again, inexplicably giving him a feeling of helplessness.
Quickly adjusting his breathing, Luo Yong realized he hadn’t been fully focused.
There was nothing he could do, the hunting team members were there, and he had been distracted caring for them since the start.
But this opponent was not easy to deal with.
If he continued to be distracted, he would be the one to die!
“Brother Ye Shan, be careful of yourself from now on!”
After saying this, regardless of whether Ye Shan heard him or not, Luo Yong concentrated, and his full strength immediately erupted.
Closer, closer, even closer!
He frantically swung his two axes, continuously rushing forward, attempting to break through the battle axe’s defense, charge in, and kill this opponent who had made him feel the threat of death multiple times!
Looking at the two figures instantly locked in fierce combat, Ye Shan’s expression first froze, then, realizing the situation, he couldn’t help but curse with a laugh.
“Damn it, brat, so you were looking out for me before?”
“You weren’t even serious yet?”
As he finished speaking, a hint of wistfulness flashed across Ye Shan’s face.
In the tribe, he was considered Luo Yong’s elder brother.
He had even taught Luo Yong how to use a weapon for the first time.
Yet now, Luo Yong was the undisputed strongest warrior of the Mirror Tribe, while he had become the captain of the hunting team.
For a moment, Ye Shan’s mood was subtle.
“Brat, you’ve unknowingly become so strong…”
The battle continued.
The combat zone between the two obviously became a danger zone.
Everyone tacitly kept their distance.
Just as Luo Yong had no time for anything else, the barbarian of the Black Jackal Tribe wielding the battle axe was the same. He no longer cared if he accidentally injured his own tribesmen.
In this battle, whoever is distracted, will die!
