Ye Jiu, Sha Lan, Yan Hua and others received orders to assemble at the plaza, fully prepared for the mission.
Their assigned mission involved capturing Six Eyed Red Birds. All personnel selected for this mission possessed exceptional abilities.
Six people total: Ye Jiu, Sha Lan, Yan Hua, Aiāer, Yue and Bai Si.
Correct. All six participants were female Totem Warriors, their agility ranking amongst the Tribeās finest.
The wolf eared girl, rabbit eared girl, monkey eared girlās speed naturally required no elaboration, excluding their identities.
Most importantly, their beast attributes like rabbits, wolves and monkeys all specialized in speed.
Sha Lan required even less explanation. Cats also specialized in speed. Yan Hua excelled through strength, while Aiāer primarily handled reconnaissance.
Su Bai had considered this team composition extensively, believing this team could successfully return with live Six Eyed Red Birds.
"This missionās priority is returning Six Eyed Red Birds alive; only then is the mission complete." Ye Jiu instructed.
The wolf eared girl served as this hunting teamās Boss, responsible for explaining precautions.
"Understood." Yan Hua and others responded in unison.
Ye Jiu continued explaining extensively before finally departing via hot air balloon.
The Six Eyed Red Birds had appeared precisely at the outer perimeter of the Tribeās wall construction, so travelling by hot air balloon wouldnāt consume excessive time.
*Whoosh whoosh whooshā¦*
The hot air balloonās flame device burned continuously. After six-plus hours, everyone safely reached the Tribeās outer perimeter.
Normal forest travel time would require a full day.
"We can only stop the hot air balloon here. Further ahead lies denser trees. We cannot land the balloon there." Aiāer descended slowly.
The butterfly girl had just returned from forward reconnaissance, discovering no available landing zones ahead.
Even available zones were surrounded by dense trees, easily causing scraping during takeoff.
"Understood. Weāll stop here. Six Eyed Red Birds should be active nearby." Ye Jiu ordered.
"Understood." Everyone successively collected equipment, dismounting the hot air balloon.
Afterwards they placed the hot air balloonās sandbags, preventing balloon escape, and extinguished the flame device.
"Letās search separately. The probability of success would increase." Yan Hua suggested.
Yan Hua was already eager, fingers touching weapons on her belt.
Her current equipment was extraordinarily cool crafted shorts, extremely form-fitting for movement.
The shorts featured a belt, with military knife and bone knife holstered alongside; this belt was a gift from Su Bai.
She wore a white T-shirt, also a gift from Su Bai, which had become slightly small for him, so heād given it to Yan Hua directly.
Yan Hua wore her hair in a high ponytail. Her pair of red cow horns paired with this hairstyle created an exceptional sight. Her rubber boots were the workshopās latest creations.
Since production just started, several days produced only one pair. In the entire Tribe, only she and Sha Lan had them.
Yan Huaās back carried a backpack filled with food and Shaman Bone Tablets. Her complete equipment resembled a jungle expedition explorer.
"I agree. Weāll reconvene here finally." Sha Lan concurred.
Sha Lanās equipment resembled Yan Huaās, except her T-shirt was different. Otherwise, no significant differences.
"Letās set a timeframe to how long it takes to kill one Ferocious Beast. Return after one Ferocious Beastās time." Ye Jiu also considered separate searching most time-efficient.
It was already afternoon. There was not enough time for any delay.
"Understood. Large or small Ferocious Beast timeframe?" Bai Si asked.
Though Primitive Eras calculated time by Ferocious Beast slaughter duration, Ferocious Beasts varied in size.
Slaughtering a small Ferocious Beast required one hour. Large Ferocious Beasts required three hours.
"We donāt have enough time. Naturally a small Ferocious Beast." Ye Jiu responded coolly.
"Understood." Bai Si nodded.
"Ensure your own safety. Signal if encountering danger." Yue spoke before departing.
The rabbit eared girl leaped powerfully onto tall branches, vanishing from everyoneās sight within moments.
"Iāll fly further for observation. I can see more than you. Iāll notify you if I discover anything." Aiāer departed, flapping purple butterfly wings.
"Be careful." Ye Jiu left in another direction.
Yan Hua observed everyoneās successive departures, selecting her own direction.
She didnāt walk particularly fast, instead carefully observing surrounding environments.
Because when receiving this mission, Su Bai had specifically cautioned her.
When searching for Six Eyed Red Birds, never rush excessively. Definitely look at the surrounding environment carefully.
Such large Ferocious Beasts passing through would inevitably leave traces. For example, what Six Eyed Red Birds prefer eating? Any footprints on the ground?
Or whether Six Eyed Red Bird feathers appeared nearby; all could effectively help them locate the target.
"Why does this area feel so humid?" Yan Hua suddenly sensed moisture.
Moreover, this sensation produced slight goosebumps. The humid smell was quite unpleasant.
She looked skyward, discovering no sunlight penetrated. Towering trees blocked sunlight.
The trodden soil was somewhat moist, even beneath thick fallen leaf coverage.
"Right. Six Eyed Red Birds apparently prefer humid environments." Yan Hua understood suddenly.
She felt Six Eyed Red Birds seemed nearby, naturally reaching into her backpack to retrieve Shaman Bone Tablets.
Yan Huaās red eyes swept sharply and continuously, unwilling to miss any traces.
*Crunch crunchā¦*
Rubber boots trod upon dead leaves and branches, continuously producing breaking sounds.
*Caw caw cawā¦*
Accompanying branch-breaking sounds, crisp Ferocious Beast calls rang out.
Yan Hua instantly stopped advancing, standing straight while surveying surroundings, murmuring: "This call sounds familiar."
She reacted immediately, beginning to crouch while slowly advancing forward, though consistently hugging trees for concealment.
