He had seen the ferocious ape beast before. It was incredibly fierce, boasting its unique treasured technique and reigning as a local tyrant. It was terrifying beyond measure. Its pair of iron fists could easily cut through gold and break stones. Usually, they would rather take a longer route around a mountain than go near it. Unexpectedly, it had died such a tragic death today.

“Clan Leader, should we secretly send a few people to keep an eye on them? See where they come from?”

The hulking man said with some uncertainty in his voice.

”Well…” The elder frowned, thought for a while before continuing, “The other party hasn’t shown any malice towards our clan. Moreover, if we get discovered due to having a ferocious beast by their side, it will be hard to explain ourselves. It’s better if we don’t send anyone.”

The enormous serpent beast gave him an intense feeling of oppression. But he only glanced at the giant serpent from afar, but felt an intense sense of suffocation that lingered in his heart.

The two humans smashed the head of the ferocious ape beast with their flesh bodies. This also petrified him profoundly.

After thinking it over, the elder decided it was better not to startle the snake in the grass.

After discussing another while at the same place, they finally disappeared into the dense forest.

Hunting was their primary objective on this trip.

Children in the village of the right age would soon achieve intellectual growth and undergo body tempering. To aid their growth, they needed a large amount of beast blood and beast meat as nourishment.

!!..

Compared to the journey there, Little Black’s group took a bit longer on their return.

On their way back, they found another beast, a one-horned elephant of an astonishing size, reaching more than ten meters. However, it did not possess the same oppressive aura as the ferocious ape beast and its strength was far inferior. There was no need for Little Black to take action. Lin Chen and Lin Zhuang, the two brothers, were sufficient to slaughter it.

So, they ended up carrying another giant elephant corpse on their backs. The two brothers, possessing great strength, carried it back without a problem.

As the sun set and hung low in the sky, under its glow, the entire Liu Village seemed to be painted with a layer of fiery red brilliance, spread the sense of peace, and sacredness.

On the vast horizon, several figures hurriedly approached, casting long shadows under the setting sun.

Little Black, leading the way, cast an enormous shadow under the setting sun, making him appear like a mountain range.

Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen followed behind, carrying the corpses of the one-horned elephant and the ferocious ape, with happy smiles on their faces.

They reaped rich rewards on this trip.

The only regret was that they failed to find any treasured bones within the one-horned elephant.

At the entrance of the village.

Old man Lin and a few others, upon receiving the news, had been waiting at the only path leading to the village.

“It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back.” Upon seeing the figures of Lin Zhuang and the others slowly coming into view, Old man Lin’s face filled with excitement.

If he said he was not worried, that would be a lie. After all, even in the past, when the tribe had not been exterminated by the Fire Tribe, hunting in the mountains carried a high risk of death. Now they hunt far more terrifying ferocious beasts, naturally adds to the danger.

Fortunately, everyone came back safe, without a single person missing.

Mrs. Zhang was equally excited. She nodded at Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen, without saying anything. Everything was said without words.

“Big brother, second brother, what did you bring back?”

The attention of the other siblings in the Lin family was drawn to the one-horned elephant and the ferocious ape, which Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen had brought back

They looked curious and fearful, cautiously observing the two huge bodies. They even unconsciously lowered their breathing.

These creatures appear much more terrifying than any lion or tiger, especially the ferocious ape, which still emitted a terrifying aura, even after death.

Old man Lin then shifted his gaze onto the creatures and was taken aback.

“Ferocious beasts, genuine ferocious beasts!”

There is a significant difference between ferocious beasts and wild beasts; wild beasts are the most common birds and animals in the mountains, but not ferocious beasts, so the two are quite easy to distinguish.

“Father, it’s not just a ferocious beast, but also a treasured technique!” Lin Zhuang grinned and laughed, pulling out a dark bone over half a meter long from the beast skin bag around his waist.

“Alright! This is so amazing!”

Old man Lin’s eyes widened as he eagerly took the bone, his excitement grew as he examined it more closely, to the point where he nearly put his face against the bone.

This discovery was more valuable than he had expected.

The broad fossil was covered with dense and puzzling symbols, records of a rare treasured technique.

Old man Lin could understand it. After all, in the Wilderness, the bone script they currently used was developed from these rare treasured bones, summarized and evolved over many years into a form of text. He had seen many and learned a few during his youthful travels.

Thankfully.

Although the bone script on the treasured bone was esoteric, with several memory checks, he was able to recognize all of it.

The following day, early in the morning, the brilliant light filtered through the uneven shadows of the trees onto the ground.

After splashing beast blood in front of Lord Willow God for half a day, Old man Lin took out the bone with strange symbols. Instead of immediately trying to understand it, he placed it on the altar they had built recently.

The treasured bone needed to be placed there for three days.

There was no special purpose for this but to show the Lin family’s respect. Once the three days were up, Old man Lin reverently picked up the treasured bone. According to the records on the bone, he patiently taught the children word by word.

“Bone scripts form naturally. Each type is rare and possesses mysterious power. You must study carefully and sense the content of the bone text carefully,” said Old man Lin under the shade of a pagoda tree.

“The treasured technique is recorded in the bone text, but understanding the meaning of the bone text is only the first step in learning the treasured technique. You still need to practice according to the content on the treasured bone.”

Lin Zhuang and the others quickly nodded and comply.

During the first few days, everyone was enthusiastic and attentive. However, after half a month, most of them were downcast, frowning, and spiritless.

This is mainly because the bone text was too cryptic and difficult to understand, much like a cipher. Sometimes there were many ways to read a single character, and Old man Lin couldn’t be sure which one was correct. This often led to him explaining all the possibilities, which meant even though everyone listened intently, they didn’t understand anything after a long time. Most importantly, they didn’t feel any improvement event after trying all these possible interpretations and they didn’t feel the fluctuation of the power of the treasured technique either.

Over time, the number of people attending the class dwindled.

In the end, only Lin Zhuang, Lin Chen, and Lin Xin Tong persisted.

“Little Eight, I didn’t expect you to stick with it throughout. I commend you,” said Old man Lin feeling gratified.

“Father, I feel like…I might…have understood something…” said Lin Xin Tong after a pause, hesitantly..
