Chapter 67

*Crack!* The sound of breaking branches rang out as a huge creature appeared from behind the bushes.

It was a large bear, about five metres tall, covered in brown fur. Beneath it was Yan Jiao. His hands were raised high to support the bear’s neck. He tightly gripped its fur as he dragged it forward.

“The Chieftain is back!” Da Gua excitedly called out.

“The Chieftain really did it! He killed a Pure Blood Ferocious Beast!” Wa Ming exclaimed.

*Whoosh!* Yan Hua had already rushed over, overjoyed at her Father’s safe return.

*Thud!* Yan Jiao grinned, blood streaming down his cheeks, as his body swayed and fell forward.

“Not good!” Da Gua’s expression changed as he suddenly charged forward, overtaking the cow horned girl to reach Yan Jiao first.

He crouched down, grabbed the bear’s fur, and forcefully flipped it to the side.

*Thud!*

This had revealed Yan Jiao underneath. Da Gua could see several bloody gashes on his back, and he was currently bleeding.

“Shaman, please come quickly to check on the Chieftain!” Da Gua urgently called out.

Yan Hua came to Yan Jiao’s side, calling out in helpless worry, “Father, are you alright? Don’t scare me!”

She wanted to turn her Father over but was afraid of touching his wounds. Her hands were hovering in the air with uncertainty.

“Let me see.” Su Bai said as he came over, scanning Yan Jiao’s back and judging that the wound was recent.

“Shaman, please save my Father!” Yan Hua’s red eyes were full of tears, streaming down her face.

“The Chieftain will be fine,” Su Bai gently reassured her. He crouched down, spreading his palms over Yan Jiao’s back, and activated his Skill, Curing Technique.

A green light scattered down, like spring coming to withered wood. The wounds on Yan Jiao’s back began to heal in real time.

“What a powerful Shaman Technique,” Da Gua muttered.

“Even more powerful than the Old Shaman’s Techniques,” Wa Ming said in amazement.

Three seconds later, Yan Jiao’s entire back was free of wounds, with only some blood stains remaining.

“It’s done. That wound has been healed,” Su Bai softly declared. He had not expected the Curing Shaman Technique combined with the Heal Skill to be so effective. He had managed to heal Yan Jiao’s wounds in one go.

“Thank you, thank you…” Yan Hua kept expressing her gratitude.

“Alright, let’s check if the Chieftain has any other wounds,” Su Bai waved his hand and turned Yan Jiao’s body over.

Sure enough, there were three more wounds on Yan Jiao’s chest, clearly claw marks.

“Curing.” Su Bai said without hesitation, immediately activating his Skill.

Soon, the wounds on Yan Jiao’s chest were also healed.

To be safe, Su Bai used Curing on Yan Jiao’s head as well, just in case the impulsive Chieftain had a concussion.

“……” Da Gua and Wa Ming looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Alright, the Chieftain has no injuries now,” Su Bai withdrew his hands. With Curing, internal injuries would also become non-existent.

*Mmm…* A soft groan.

Yan Jiao slowly opened his red eyes, blinking in confusion.

“Father, are you alright?” Yan Hua asked with concern.

“I’m… fine,” Yan Jiao saw the people around him, especially Su Bai, and understood why he was alright.

He sat up straight, the smile of a survivor on his face. “I finally made it back. I almost died in the forest.”

“Chieftain, what happened?” Da Gua quickly asked.

“In the future, if you encounter a Pure Blood Ferocious Beast, avoid it if you can,” Yan Jiao solemnly said. “Don’t engage it in combat. You’re no match for even one claw of a Pure Blood Ferocious Beast.”

“Uh…” Da Gua and Wa Ming were speechless, looking oddly at Yan Jiao. It seemed only the Chieftain would be foolish enough to challenge a Pure Blood Ferocious Beast.

“I’m alive, able to bring it back all thanks to the Shaman Bone Tablets…” Yan Jiao looked at Su Bai and earnestly said, “Shaman, your Shaman Bone Tablet is too useful, especially the complete one. It can very quickly heal my wounds .”

“Then, those more recent wounds?” Su Bai curiously asked.

“Hehe…” Yan Jiao grinned sheepishly, helplessly explaining, “I used two Shaman Bone Tablets to barely kill the bear, but I was still severely injured.”

On the way back, if it were not for the bear’s ferocious aura still intimidating the Mix Blood Ferocious Beasts, Yan Jiao might not have made it back to the Tribe.

“Did you advance? Did you become a Mid Grade Totem Warrior?” Su Bai focused on this point.

“Yes, I succeeded!” Yan Jiao grinned, showing his yellow teeth.

Su Bai asked with relief, “Will your body be ready to set off tomorrow?”

“Yes, all my wounds are healed,” Yan Jiao stood up and stretched, nonchalantly declaring, “After eating some Pure Blood Ferocious Beast Meat tonight, my Qi will quickly be replenished.”

“A Pure Blood Ferocious Beast, it’s been a long time since we’ve eaten one,” Da Gua said with a complex smile.

Back in the Ancestral Land, they occasionally got to eat a piece of Pure Blood Ferocious Beast Meat. After eating it, their Qi would boil all night.

“Today, everyone will have some!” Yan Jiao happily declared.

By everyone, he meant the Totem Warriors and Warrior Trainees. Ordinary people could not handle the energy in Pure Blood Ferocious Beasts. Eating one piece might cause them to have nosebleeds.

“I’ll eat several pieces,” Da Gua joked.

“As long as you can endure it, eat as much as you can,” Yan Jiao waved his hand, eager for the Totem Warriors to eat more Pure Blood Ferocious Beast Meat. It would be even better if more could advance to become Mid Grade Totem Warriors.

“Definitely more than before,” Da Gua stubbornly said.

“Want to compete then?” Wa Ming raised an eyebrow.

“Bring it on!” Da Gua would not back down.

“Come to the Teepee tonight with Cang Shi. We have things to discuss,” Su Bai softly said.

“Yes!” Yan Jiao quickly agreed.

Su Bai walked away. With him around, everyone would be too restrained to joke around.

As the sun set, the dusk suddenly seemed more beautiful.
