Chapter 67 Pig-headed Tribe Suffers Heavy Casualties, Bamboo Spike Pit’s Terrifying Power
It was precisely because he was fearless.
Charging forward recklessly.
He actually managed to dodge a few spike traps attacking from above.
However, Lin Ye had also prepared many traps buried in the ground.
Finally, that Pig-headed Man directly collided head-on with a spike trap that sprung up from below.
The bamboo spikes on the spike trap deeply pierced the Pig-headed Man’s body.
Yet, that Pig-headed Man seemed not to feel any pain.
He had already been impaled by the spike trap.
His internal organs were ruptured, and blood began to flow from the corners of his eyes, nose, and mouth.
But the Pig-headed Man still ran forward fearlessly.
Until his last breath, this Pig-headed Man was still rushing forward with all his might.
After the Witch of the Pig-headed Tribe shot that red light, her blood surged, and a flush appeared on her face.
The Witch of the Pig-headed Tribe forcefully suppressed the surging blood within her and, pointing at the Pig-headed Man in front, loudly declared, “The Pig-headed Tribe does not allow retreat. Anyone found fleeing will be executed directly!”
“Now, as long as you can survive this forest, I guarantee that the women we capture will be allowed to take turns bringing them back to your tents to bear you children.” The Pig-headed Tribe’s combination of reward and punishment made all the remaining Pig-headed Men breathe rapidly.
They continued to advance for the continuation of their bloodline.
But with the screams coming from their sides.
Witnessing the tragic sight of their tribesmen being killed by traps.
The psychological defenses of the Pig-headed Men began to slowly crumble.
However, they thought that turning back now would surely lead to their death by the Pig-headed Chieftain and the Witch.
While continuing forward offered a chance of survival.
Just like this, out of over a hundred Pig-headed Warriors, only a little over fifty remained.
In the trap area set up by Lin Ye, the Pig-headed Men left behind more than seventy of their kind, dead or seriously injured, before finally exiting the spike trap area.
Anyone injured by the spike traps was effectively as good as dead.
In this primitive world without any medical means.
The chance of survival with such severe injuries was minuscule.
It would have been better to die directly and be done with it.
This way, they would suffer prolonged pain before perishing.
Therefore, the Pig-headed Chieftain did not choose to bring along those seriously injured Pig-headed Men.
He simply left them to fend for themselves in the forest.
As the Pig-headed Men emerged from the forest, they saw the environment ahead had changed.
The originally dense forest now had only a few sparse trees.
After cautiously walking for a few more minutes, they realized there were no longer any tribesmen being attacked by traps around them.
They knew they had left that terrifying area.
Excitedly, they raised their Stone Axes and shouted, “Hahahaha! We survived!”
“I’m alive, hahahaha, I’m alive.” The Pig-headed Chieftain and the Witch also emerged from the forest.
Following behind the Chieftain and the Witch were the Porcupine Man Spearmen.
They all appeared relaxed.
In stark contrast to the Pig-headed Men celebrating their narrow escape.
They were not only at the very end of the procession.
Even half of the women they were to capture today would belong to them.
This was because these Porcupine Man Spearmen were the strongest army in the Pig-headed Tribe.
The Pig-headed Tribe’s ability to be so powerful and plunder other tribes at will was largely due to the presence of the Porcupine Man Spearmen.
This meant they had possessed the ability of ranged combat earlier than others in this world.
Therefore, the Pig-headed Chieftain prioritized ensuring the number of Porcupine Man Spearmen.
Thus, women would be preferentially allocated to the Porcupine Men to quickly bear children and strengthen the tribe’s power.
The Pig-headed Chieftain looked at the Pig-headed Warriors, of whom only a little more than half remained.
He was full of hatred for this tribe.
But having already paid such a heavy price.
With the remaining people in the tribe, it would be difficult to plunder other tribes.
Only by plundering this tribe completely in one go now could they slowly recover.
Otherwise, the Pig-headed Tribe would gradually fall into a state of slow death.
The Witch also frowned, looking at the dwindling number of tribesmen.
Before they departed, he had already warned the Pig-headed Chieftain.
Ever since he heard the report from that Pig-headed Man, he had felt a sense of great danger.
And when he saw that man today, he felt a terrifying oppressive force from his seemingly thin and small body.
The Witch knew at that moment that this man was the source of the danger he had sensed.
The first time they stopped, the Witch had advised the Pig-headed Chieftain to return to the tribe.
But the Pig-headed Chieftain had lost his reason and insisted on going forward.
Now, what was originally a force of just over a hundred Pig-headed Warriors had been reduced to just over fifty.
Not a single Wild Boar Knight remained, and even the mounts of the Witch and the Chieftain were used to clear the path.
But now, the Witch understood that there was no turning back.
He could only attack this tribe together with the Pig-headed Chieftain.
The Pig-headed Chieftain allowed the surviving Pig-headed Men to vent for a while.
Then he urged them to continue forward.
The Witch also felt a bit uneasy, constantly feeling that something terrifying was waiting for them ahead.
The Pig-headed Warriors set off again.
This time, without the threat of death, the Pig-headed Warriors walked with less caution.
But as they walked, suddenly a Pig-headed Man gasped and let out a painful howl. “Hiss!” “Roar!”
The Pig-headed Men had entered the area of the Bamboo Spike Pit.
Yesterday afternoon, all the Beast-eared Girls had been busy setting up Bamboo Spike Pits here.
From this point all the way to the Beast-eared Tribe’s territory, the entire path was densely covered with these Bamboo Spike Pits.
However, the advantage of Bamboo Spike Pits was that they were simple and quick to make.
But the disadvantage was that their lethality was insufficient, and they could not directly kill enemies.
The purpose of the Bamboo Spike Pit was to cripple the legs of the person who stepped into it.
Rendering them unable to move.
The Pig-headed Man who stepped into the Bamboo Spike Pit, due to his immense weight,
The bamboo spikes in the pit deeply pierced his lower leg. “Hiss!”
The other Pig-headed Men gathered around and saw his horrific leg, all gasping in shock.
Because his weight was too great, and the bamboo spikes were angled upwards.
When the Pig-headed Man stepped down, the spikes pierced his lower leg, and he couldn’t stop his foot.
He stepped directly to the bottom of the pit.
The bamboo spikes pierced upwards into the Pig-headed Man’s leg from the root, even tearing open several bloody wounds.
The Pig-headed Man cried out in pain, unable to bear it.
The Pig-headed Man lowered his head and saw his leg in such a state.
He was so scared that his face turned pale, his whole body began to tremble, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
However, although the other Pig-headed Men found the appearance of this Pig-headed Man terrifying.
At least this condition was not fatal.
This was much luckier than the Pig-headed Men who had died earlier.
The Pig-headed Man knew he couldn’t just stay there.
The other tribesmen would not wait for him here.
So, clenching his teeth, the Pig-headed Man began to pull his leg out.
But the unbearable pain made him grit his teeth, his face turning red, veins bulging on his forehead, but in the end, the intense pain still made him cry out in anguish.
Seeing another Pig-headed Man fall into the trap and wailing miserably.
The Pig-headed Chieftain also walked over to check the situation.
After seeing the Pig-headed Man’s condition, the Pig-headed Chieftain secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was only an injury to the leg, and his life was not in danger.
But in his current state, he definitely couldn’t move on his own.
The Pig-headed Chieftain saw him trying to pull his leg out.
But he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
The Pig-headed Chieftain couldn’t bear to watch and signaled with his eyes for a few Pig-headed Men beside him to help him.
The Pig-headed Man also saw the Chieftain’s gaze.
He struggled, wanting to say that he could do it himself.
But one Pig-headed Man slowly covered his eyes from behind.
Then two more Pig-headed Men stepped forward and grabbed the leg that was stuck in the pit.
The two Pig-headed Men nodded at each other, then suddenly exerted force together, pulling out the injured leg of the Pig-headed Man with a sudden yank. “Aaaaaah!!!!”
The unbearable and excruciating pain made the Pig-headed Man let out a piercing scream.
His Pig-eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
The Pig-headed Man ultimately couldn’t endure the pain.
After a wail, he fainted.
Witnessing this unbelievable scene, the Pig-headed Chieftain and the Pig-headed Men beside him felt a pang of pain, their eyes widening as they sucked in a sharp breath!
