Chapter 81: Hyenas’ Are Truly Ancient Ruffians

The battle was about to begin.

Black Jackal, who had retreated to the back of the group with his back to the hyena pack, suddenly exerted force with his left arm.

The corpse of the starved wolf, which he was carrying on his left shoulder, was immediately thrown towards the hyena pack behind them.

Black Jackal’s sudden movement clearly made the hyena pack wary.

However, for the famished hyenas, the flying food was too tempting.

Coupled with the continuous stimulation of the bloody scent, their black eyes were uncontrollably drawn to the starved wolf’s corpse.

It was at this moment that Black Jackal moved!

With a burst of power, Black Jackal instantly pushed his speed to its peak.

At this moment, he was like a leopard pouncing on its prey, charging into the hyena pack in one breath.

The spearhead of his battle axe quickly pierced through the air, creating a sharp whistle.

Then, accompanied by a chilling sound, it plunged into the abdomen of one of the hyenas.

The sensation that was sent back to him filled Black Jackal with an unprecedented exhilaration!

He absolutely loved the newly made battle axe in his hand.

Although the problem of the handle’s insufficient load-bearing capacity had not yet been perfectly resolved, both the axe blade and the spearhead had been meticulously polished by the Armament Department.

In terms of lethality, it definitely surpassed his original one.

Black Jackal had originally intended to have a grand battle with this battle axe.

However, in last night’s battle, Luo Ji’s brilliant ‘Driving Wolves to Devour a Tiger’ tactic had opened his eyes, but it also left him with no room to display his skills.

He had been feeling depressed, and now, it was the perfect opportunity to vent his pent-up emotions on this annoying pack of hyenas.

Black Jackal, having successfully struck, did not stop.

He continued to exert force with both arms, swinging the battle axe in his hand and tearing it sideways.

Immediately, a sound of flesh being ripped could be heard, accompanied by splashing blood.

The hyena’s abdomen was instantly torn open, its liver and intestines spilling out.

This gruesome scene was enough to cause discomfort for many.

The death of a companion sounded the alarm for the hyenas.

Howls continuously erupted for a time.

Black Jackal fought with increasing fervor, swinging the battle axe in his hands more wildly, displaying an aura of being able to take on ten opponents.

However, his condition could clearly not last.

Luo Yong, unwilling to be outdone, unfurled his twin axes and followed closely behind, helping to alleviate some of the pressure.

The battle horn had already sounded.

The hyenas’ fighting style bore some resemblance to that of wolves.

If there was a difference, it was that they were more despicable.

The sharp-eyed Luo Ji had already seen four to five hyenas split into two groups, left and right, attempting to outflank them from behind.

The hyena charging at the front seized an opportunity.

Instead of attacking Luo Ji and his group, it bit down on the corpse of a starved wolf and dragged it back.

The intention of these insatiably greedy ancient ruffians was clear.

They wanted to steal all their food.

However, Luo Ji, who had been prepared, would not let them do as they pleased.

With his command, heavy stone projectiles rapidly flew towards the hyenas attempting to steal their food, making dull thuds upon impact.

These hyenas were quite large.

It was not difficult for the long-trained slingers to hit them.

However, the problem was that the effect was not ideal.

One hyena, struck by a stone projectile, momentarily lost its balance but quickly regained it.

Then, dragging the starved wolf’s corpse, it sprinted dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.

For hyenas with thick hides, stone projectiles, as blunt force weapons, did not seem to be very effective.

Sharper weapons would probably be much better.

The slingers’ initial failure weighed slightly on Luo Ji’s mind.

After all, his understanding of the hyenas’ thick hides was merely literal, he had not expected them to be so tough.

There was no time to think further.

How could he let these damnable ancient ruffians steal all their food?

Luo Ji decisively changed tactics.

While casting the ‘Inspire Morale’ skill to boost their morale, he immediately had the slingers provide cover and then ordered the tribal warriors armed with stone spears to form a defensive line.

Faced with such tight defense, the hyenas were at a loss for a short while, and the battle on both sides fell into a stalemate.

Finally, seemingly realizing they could not gain any more advantage, the hyena pack that had secured food decisively retreated.

It must be said that these ancient ruffians were truly ruffian.

Of course, they did not retreat without paying a price.

Looking at the four dead hyena corpses before him, Luo Ji curled his lips in annoyance.

“Bring them back.”

Upon returning to the Mirror Tribe, the results they brought back, without a doubt, caused a sensation among all the tribe members.

Every single tribal citizen could not help but run out to behold the corpse of the ancient overlord, the saber-toothed tiger.

It was a saber-toothed tiger!

They never thought their tribe leader would actually kill it.

The impact it had on everyone at that moment was indescribable.

The newly joined individuals were also mostly dumbfounded.

In this era, who would have the guts to hunt a saber-toothed tiger?

The facts proved that Luo Ji not only had the courage but also succeeded.

He did not rush the people who came out to watch to go back to work.

Since they had brought back so much meat this time, it was fine to give the tribal citizens a day off to celebrate properly.

When it was time to celebrate, they should celebrate.

People needed something to look forward to in life, and doing so would also boost the morale of their tribe, right?

Taking advantage of the atmosphere, Luo Ji announced that this day each year would be designated as ‘Harvest Day.’

All tribe members, except those assigned to special posts, could participate in this all-day festival celebration!

For ancient people who had no concept of holidays, this was clearly a luxurious decision.

However, it also earned Luo Ji cheers from all the tribe members, and he gained a significant amount of loyalty invisibly.

[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for successfully unlocking the cultural project ‘Festival.’]

An unexpected surprise, Luo Ji, upon hearing the system notification, promptly opened his panel to take a look, completely unaware that his casual remark had unlocked a cultural project.

[Festival (Level 0): A civilization without festivals is incomplete. Everyone needs festivals. Within seven days before and after any ‘Festival,’ the work efficiency of all citizens within the civilization increases by 10%]

Compared to other projects in the cultural section, this was undoubtedly a more practical one.

Luo Ji, who never lacked culture points, decisively upgraded it by one level.

His mood, which had been somewhat depressed due to the hyena incident, also improved considerably at this moment.
