Chapter 74: Suddenly Panicked
Looking at Little Fox’s shining eyes, Luo Ji found it amusing again, but it didn’t really matter.
Slingers were indeed his trump card.
Logically, as important long-range weapons, slings wouldn’t be easily shown to newcomers who had just joined the tribe.
However, looking at it from another perspective, the sling’s construction was simple.
If others truly learned and replicated it, it would only take a moment.
There was no need to be too petty.
It would be better to use this opportunity to boost Little Fox’s loyalty.
Once her loyalty met the standard, he could quickly assign Little Fox to the armament department to help with the research and development of bows and arrows.
Time was pressing.
With this thought, Luo Ji immediately waved to a slinger, signaling them to come over.
At the same time, he quietly opened Little Fox’s attribute panel to confirm it.

Looking at this attribute panel, Luo Ji instantly fell into a daze, even forgetting to complain that this tomboy-like Little Fox was actually a girl.
This blessing came too suddenly, allowing him to find two 5 star potential talents at once.
Things were progressing too smoothly.
Considering his fluctuating luck, Luo Ji suddenly felt a bit panicked, worrying that his good fortune might run out and joy might turn to sorrow!
Completely unaware of what Luo Ji was thinking, Little Fox stared intently at the rope in the slinger’s hand, then nervously called out to the dazed Luo Ji.
“Chief?”
“Ah? Oh!”
Luo Ji snapped back to reality and waved at the slinger.
“Show her the sling.”
Receiving the sling handed over by the slinger, Little Fox, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, immediately began to examine it on the spot, occasionally exclaiming.
“This thing is called a sling, right?”
“I didn’t expect its structure to be so simple, but someone actually thought of making something like this with animal hide and animal tendon, this is truly…”
Little Fox, fiddling with the sling in her hand, couldn’t hide her excitement and started talking non-stop again, while Luo Ji’s attention quickly shifted to her loyalty.
“81 points!”
Looking at this number, Luo Ji secretly clenched his fist.
Giving the sling to Little Fox to study had indeed helped him boost her loyalty.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the succession of good events made Luo Ji quite worried that his joy might turn to sorrow.
To be safe, he decided to quickly lead his people back to the Mirror Tribe.
Who knew, at that moment, accompanied by a roar that could almost scare the wits out of people, a burly black figure fiercely charged out from the dense forest opposite!
Running wildly, its powerful limbs made dull “thumping” sounds as they trampled on the snow.
Each of these dull sounds was like a heavy hammer, continuously striking everyone’s chest, and its mere appearance instantly dealt a devastating blow to all of their morale!
It was said that joy turns to sorrow, but this was happening a little too quickly, wasn’t it?!
With browning yellow fur like a lion’s, bulging muscles clearly visible beneath its hide, and its signature fangs unmistakably revealing its identity, a saber-toothed tiger!
Aren’t you a prehistoric creature?!
At this moment, gazing at this ancient overlord at the top of the food chain, Luo Ji’s mentality couldn’t help but explode.
This thing was deliberately trying to kill him!
Facing the pouncing saber-toothed tiger, a severely wounded barbarian warrior had no time to dodge and was struck immediately.
Under the thick tiger claws, his entire chest was exaggeratedly caved in.
Large amounts of thick blood continuously gushed from the barbarian warrior’s mouth and nose as he couldn’t withstand the immense pressure, making the whole scene utterly gruesome.
Amidst the panicked crowd, Luo Yong’s face was solemn.
Facing this ancient overlord, he did not retreat, because Luo Ji was behind him, and the Mirror Tribe was just on the other side of this forest.
For the safety of his chief and tribe, he had to stop this saber-toothed tiger!
The saber-toothed tiger’s wild instinct made it aware of the threat emanating from the human in front of it.
One man and one beast, two figures immediately confronted each other.
This saber-toothed tiger was definitely an unprecedentedly strong enemy for Luo Yong, putting even more pressure on him than Black Jackal had before.
Luo Yong’s eyes widened completely.
He dared not blink, because he knew very well that once his eyes closed, they might never open again.
His heart beat so fast that Luo Yong even felt a little breathless.
Just then, the saber-toothed tiger moved.
Without any warning, its massive body roared and pounced!
Facing this ancient overlord, Luo Yong dared not directly confront it.
He quickly rolled to dodge.
The moment he stood up, he tried to swing the two stone axes in his hands to counterattack the saber-toothed tiger, but he didn’t expect the saber-toothed tiger to react even faster.
After missing its pounce, its massive body displayed astonishing agility.
It turned around and pounced again, giving Luo Yong no chance to strike!
“Luo Yong, focus on evading. I’ll have the slingers support you!”
Luo Ji said as he activated the ‘Inspire Morale’ skill, slightly boosting the morale that had dropped due to the saber-toothed tiger’s appearance.
Although there was a risk of the slingers’ stone bullets accidentally hitting Luo Yong, it was better than doing nothing.
The other tribal warriors formed an encirclement, seizing opportunities while ensuring the slingers’ safety.
This was the most Luo Ji could do at the moment.
As for the barbarians from the original Black Jackal Tribe who were completely terrified and fleeing in all directions, he couldn’t manage them.
They weren’t listening to orders, so how could he manage them?
Since that was the case, the only thing Luo Ji could do now was simply ignore them, focusing his limited energy on commanding the warriors of his own tribe.
At the same time, he signaled Ye Shan and the hunting team to take Little Fox back to the Mirror Tribe first.
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, he absolutely had to protect this talent who could research and develop armament.
Just as Luo Ji was thinking about what to do next, Black Jackal, who was sitting behind him, suddenly spoke.
“He fought me two times in a row.”
“Now he’s going to fight a saber-toothed tiger.”
“He can’t hold on alone…”
Hearing Black Jackal’s voice, Luo Ji’s expression froze.
It wasn’t that he had forgotten Black Jackal, it was because Black Jackal had been too exhausted to stand earlier, so Luo Ji hadn’t even considered him when assessing combat power.
Looking at Luo Ji’s astonished face, Black Jackal didn’t waste words.
“Do you have any food?”
“After I eat something and recover some strength, I should be able to help.”
