I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village-Chapter 392: More Powerful Weapons

The moment the River Bear collapsed, the water level rose significantly before quickly receding.

The piercing roars immediately ceased, leaving only the pitter-patter of rain and the sound of flowing water.

Yan Jiao breathed a sigh of relief seeing the River Bear fall – it had been much simpler than imagined.

He had expected another fierce battle to drive away the River Bear. However, the battle ended surprisingly quickly, thanks to the bow and arrow in hand. Otherwise, it would not have been so simple.

The Warrior Trainees smiled upon seeing the River Bear driven away, though the rain blurred their vision.

"Finally! We’ve driven away the River Bear!" Yan Hua relaxed her grip on the longbow she had been holding.

"Yes, last year, we were not able to help, but this year, we helped protect the Tribe," Sha Lan smiled.

"But this is only temporary. No one knows when the next River Bear will come…" Yan Hua remained cautious.

The timing of River Bears threatening the Tribe’s safety was unpredictable – sometimes two in one day, sometimes one in several days – no one knew when the next one would appear.

"Yeah, we must keep close watch of the river." Sha Lan responded.

*Pitter patter…*

*Whoosh whoosh…*

The rain grew heavier, much stronger than before. If one extended their hand, they could feel the impact of the falling raindrops.

The wind also intensified, blowing continuously from the distance, creating a curtain of swirling rain in the air.

The river water had become more turbulent from the strong winds, indicating the rainy season was growing more intense.

Su Bai extended his hand to feel the falling rain and commented, "Seems like the rain has truly intensified. So, this is what River Bears are like?"

He could not help but marvel at the charm of the Primitive Era. This was just like the world described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Various strange beasts existed, some Ferocious Beasts could even influence weather changes or plant growth – it was all too miraculous. Though, technically, Su Bai believes the River Bear appeared due to weather conditions and not the other way around.

"Everyone, return to the Tribe to rest. Some will remain to watch the river. If anything happens, sound the drum!" Yan Jiao instructed.

Those two drums were made from the Beast Hide that Su Bai had hunted when he first entered the Hunting Ground.

When building the watchtower by the river, they had made two drums to be sent over, specifically for warning against Ferocious Beasts from the river.

"Yes!"The Warrior Trainees responded in unison and began heading back to the Tribe.

Su Bai remained standing, looking thoughtfully toward the river. He frowned and thought to himself, [The Ferocious Beasts from the river will hinder further development…]

Su Bai had many plans, most of which required utilizing the great river as a resource. However, with such fierce Ferocious Beasts suddenly appearing in the river, those plans had to be halted. [I’ll need to plan it out carefully. River Ferocious Beasts like that are indeed a major problem…].

"Shaman, let’s head back," Yan Hua approached, her longbow now slung across her back.

"The rain is getting heavier. Shaman, you should be careful not to catch a cold," Sha Lan added.

The rain was so heavy that the raincoats clung tightly to their bodies in the wind. If they did not hold onto their straw hats, they would likely blow away.

Su Bai tightened his raincoat and asked, "Besides River Bears, what other Ferocious Beasts come out during the rainy season?"

He wanted to understand exactly how many River Ferocious Beasts could affect the Tribe, so that he could adequately plan to deal with them.

"None. Except for River Bears wanting to come ashore, no other Ferocious Beasts behave this way." Yan Hua shook her head with certainty.

"The rest are just ordinary Ferocious Beasts that happen to jump onto the riverbed, enjoying the arrival of the rainy season. They pose no threat to the Tribe." Sha Lan added.

"Is it usually difficult for you to deal with River Bears?" Su Bai asked, unsatisfied with the speed of dealing with the River Bear this time.

If they were to build a port by the river, these River Bears would become the biggest obstacle. If they could not deal with these River Bears promptly once they appeared, the port would likely be destroyed.

They could rebuild the port every year. However, that would be too extravagant and time-consuming. It would be better to focus on finding a solution for the River Bears.

"This time, we dealt with it very quickly. Previously, driving away River Bears took a long time. Usually, it required dispatching more Totem Warriors." Yan Hua seriously.

She felt sad remembering last year, as one of her friends had died under a River Bear’s claws.

"This time, thanks to the weapons Shaman made, we could easily drive away the River Bear." Sha Lan said.

Su Bai frowned, surprised that what he considered unsatisfactory was actually the Tribe’s fastest.

After some thought, he said, "Seems like we need to speed things up. We are not dealing with it fast enough."

Yan Hua was stunned, wondering if she had misheard. The speed had been ideal, so why was it not considered good enough?

She asked in confusion, "Shaman, this is already very fast. What’s wrong with how we did it?"

"At this pace, the Tribe’s development will be affected. We need more powerful weapons to quickly deal with the River Bears." Su Bai said.

Since River Bears were massive Ferocious Beasts living in the river, arrows alone had limited impact on such large creatures. It required many arrows to show some results. If they had more powerful weapons, they could drive away these River Bears more quickly.

"More powerful weapons?" Yan Hua became interested and asked repeatedly, "Shaman, what kind of powerful weapons?"

"You’ll know when the time comes." Su Bai turned and walked toward the Tribe. No point explaining now.
