Chapter 70: First Meeting, I’ll Give You a Universal Gesture
The Beast-eared Girls heard Lin Ye’s reminder.
All of them raised their bows, aiming at the forest ahead.
Lin Ye frowned and thought for a moment, finally understanding what was going on.
He didn’t expect the Pig-headed Men to come up with such a method to avoid traps.
As more and more Pig-headed Men climbed out,
Lin Ye saw a Pig-headed Man of exceptionally large size crawl out from the bushes.
Following closely behind was a Pig-headed Man who was a bit thinner than the others.
Lin Ye nodded secretly. These two Pig-headed Men should be the Chieftain and the Witch of the Pig-headed Tribe.
Gradually, the Porcupine Man Spearmen also crawled out from behind.
The Pig-headed Men in front discovered that they hadn’t encountered that terrifying witchcraft for a long time.
After crawling for a while longer, the Pig-headed Men in front could vaguely see the open space of the Beast-eared Tribe ahead.
They slowly stood up from the ground.
Unable to contain themselves, they laughed.
They had actually broken through the nightmare-like forest they had just come from.
The Pig-headed Men who had survived looked back at the forest they had just struggled to crawl out of.
With lingering fear, they swallowed.
At this moment, the Chieftain and the Witch from behind also caught up and stood up from the ground.
Through the gaps between a few trees, the Pig-headed Chieftain vaguely saw an open space ahead.
After waiting in place for a while, and once all the Porcupine Man Spearmen behind had arrived,
A cruel smile appeared on the Pig-headed Chieftain’s face, and he said to all the Pig-headed Men.
“This tribe has cost us the lives of so many of our tribesmen, but we have still arrived here. This tribe is full of beautiful women. As long as we capture those women and bring them back to the tribe, our tribe will soon become strong again, and your bloodline will be able to continue.”
“Moreover, I discovered a man in this tribe earlier. None of you are to touch him. I will tear him apart with my own hands!” As the Pig-headed Chieftain said this, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart again.
The other Pig-headed Warriors, upon hearing the words of the Pig-headed Chieftain, also revealed cruel smiles, and disgusting drool dripped from their pig mouths.
Then, the Pig-headed Chieftain waved his hand and led the Pig-headed Men towards the open space ahead.
All the Pig-headed Men clenched the weapons in their hands.
With menacing smiles, they followed the Pig-headed Chieftain out.
Just as the Pig-headed Men reached the edge of the forest and could clearly see the open space,
They saw, in the center of the open space, a dirt slope piled up with earth.
Following that, they saw a row of beautiful Beast-eared Girls standing behind the dirt slope, but only their upper bodies were visible; their lower bodies were hidden by the slope.
When all the Pig-headed Men saw this scene, they were completely stunned.
Including the Pig-headed Chieftain and their Witch, it was the first time they had seen such a sight.
For a moment, the Witch of the Pig-headed Tribe even thought that perhaps those women had given up resisting and wanted to bury themselves alive.
The Pig-headed Chieftain also hadn’t expected that after all their arduous efforts to crawl out of the forest, this was what awaited them.
Lin Ye’s move was a dimensionality reduction strike from Earth knowledge.
The Pig-headed Men had no idea that trenches existed, nor would they know that such a simple trench, combined with traps all over the ground, could perfectly counter his Pig-headed Warriors and Porcupine Man Spearmen.
Especially for the Porcupine Man Spearmen, a simple trench could render all their thrown spears useless.
At first, the Pig-headed Men were distracted by the trench and didn’t notice Lin Ye standing behind.
But when the Pig-headed Chieftain reacted, he immediately spotted Lin Ye standing on the ground behind the trench, standing out like a sore thumb.
Looking at the figure that made him hate it to the bone, the Pig-headed Chieftain’s eyes turned bloodshot.
He immediately raised his leg and began to walk towards the open space.
The Pig-headed Men behind also followed him, starting to approach the open space ahead.
Soon, the figures of the Pig-headed Men emerged from the forest.
When the Beast-eared Girls saw the fierce Pig-headed Men, they were about to draw their bows and shoot, when they heard Lin Ye’s voice, “Don’t shoot yet, wait until they start attacking. We’ll catch them off guard.”
“Remember, once they start attacking and step on a trap, you shoot the arrows in your hands as quickly as possible. Keep shooting, aim for the vital spots, don’t forget!” After the Pig-headed Men appeared, they were all fully alert, focusing on Lin Ye’s side.
The Pig-headed Chieftain stood in the middle, with Pig-headed Warriors who had crawled out of the forest on either side, and all the Porcupine Man Spearmen behind them.
Those twenty-odd Porcupine Man Spearmen, having been at the rear of the formation, were the most intact.
Only one unfortunate Porcupine Man had triggered a previous spike trap that the Pig-headed Men had missed and died in the forest.
No other Porcupine Man Spearmen had been lost.
The Pig-headed Chieftain stood there, staring fiercely at Lin Ye, wishing he could rush up and tear Lin Ye apart right now.
Lin Ye also noticed the Pig-headed Chieftain’s gaze.
Feeling the hatred in the Pig-headed Chieftain’s eyes, Lin Ye found it very puzzling. Why would the Pig-headed Chieftain harbor such great hatred towards him when they had just met?
However, Lin Ye felt that he couldn’t lose face, so he gave the Pig-headed Chieftain a universal gesture: a middle finger!
The Pig-headed Chieftain saw Lin Ye’s gesture. Although he didn’t understand what it meant,
Combined with Lin Ye’s arrogant expression, even without knowing what the gesture represented,
The Pig-headed Chieftain could guess that it was definitely not something good. “Roar—!”
Seeing Lin Ye like this, the Pig-headed Chieftain roared at Lin Ye.
This roar was the signal for the battle to begin.
The Pig-headed Warriors on either side of the Pig-headed Chieftain, upon hearing this roar, grabbed their stone axes and roared as they charged towards the Beast-eared Girls.
The Porcupine Man Spearmen behind them also found their positions.
Then they all raised the stone spears in their hands, but did not throw them.
Today, they were here to capture these women, not to kill them all.
So the stone spears were only for pursuing the women when they tried to escape.
The task of capturing the women was left to the Pig-headed Warriors.
But what they didn’t expect was.
Before the Pig-headed Warriors could even take a few steps,
The fastest-charging Pig-headed Man stepped heavily into a pit of bamboo spikes set up in the open space.
This time, the Pig-headed Man stepped in squarely. Just like the first Pig-headed Man to step into the bamboo spike pit, his lower leg was instantly covered in blood and gore. “Ahhh—!”
After stepping into the trap, the Pig-headed Man let out an extremely piercing scream.
This scream drew everyone’s attention.
It also included the Beast-eared Girls. Lin Ye reacted first but found that the Beast-eared Girls were staring blankly at the Pig-headed Man. Lin Ye immediately said, “What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and shoot!”
The Pig-headed Men, drawn by the scream, stood there foolishly, watching the Pig-headed Man who had stepped into the trap.
Such a golden opportunity, and the Beast-eared Girls were also distracted by the scream and forgot to shoot.
However, after Lin Ye spoke, the Beast-eared Girls snapped back to reality with a jolt.
The thirty-one Beast-eared Girls stood up straight, drew their bows, and nocked their arrows, their actions synchronized.
Each Beast-eared Girl stood there, aiming her bow and arrow at the fierce Pig-headed Men in front.
Scenes flashed through their minds like a slideshow.
Lin Ye teaching them archery for the first time, their naive and curious looks.
The joy when they hit the straw man for the first time after learning to shoot.
Their worried frowns when they couldn’t hit the moving target no matter how hard they tried.
The many days of painstaking training for the Beast-eared Girls had all been for this day.
All of them took a deep breath, and almost simultaneously, thirty-one arrows were shot out! “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!”
Accompanied by the sound of arrows whistling through the air.
In the blink of an eye, all thirty-one arrows hit the Pig-headed Men.
Lin Ye watched the Beast-eared Girls, without exception, all accurately hitting the vital spots of the Pig-headed Men.
He smiled with relief. All those days of hard work had not been in vain.
This result was truly worthy of the Beast-eared Girls’ daily painstaking practice.
However, the Pig-headed Men were large and stood very close together.
So many arrows hit the same Pig-headed Man.
The Beast-eared Girls’ first volley of synchronized shots took down seven Pig-headed Men.
Those seven Pig-headed Men had arrows sticking out of their vital spots, more or less.
After being hit by arrows, some covered their necks, some covered their bellies.
But without exception, all of them fell to the ground in great pain and soon died.
The other Pig-headed Men were startled by the sudden flying arrows.
Seeing their tribesmen, who had been standing beside them just moments ago, suddenly covered in wooden sticks and falling to the ground, dying quickly. “Witchcraft, what is this witchcraft!” “Don’t run around, the ground is also full of witchcraft.”
“Get down, hurry and get down! If you lie down, you won’t be attacked by witchcraft!” The Pig-headed Men, suddenly attacked by arrows, fell into chaos.
Several Pig-headed Men, scared, ran around everywhere, but after a few steps, they stepped into the bamboo spike pits again.
At this moment, the Pig-headed Men remembered what the Witch had told them earlier, that lying down would prevent them from being attacked by witchcraft.
After someone shouted, all the Pig-headed Men lay down on the ground.
