I am a Primitive Man
Chapter 493 – A single bite to devour the unicorn—The Devil’s Mouth
Aside from weakening the living force of the Flying Snake Tribe, there’s another crucial reason to deal with this rhinoceros.
No matter how you look at it, the rhinoceros is more troublesome than the tribe’s weapons. If the rhinoceros isn’t taken care of now and the Flying Snake Tribe manages to leave with it, it will spell serious trouble for the Green Sparrow Tribe.
Finding another good opportunity and setting up traps to capture it will be extremely difficult. Furthermore, as long as the rhinoceros is alive, eliminating the Flying Snake Tribe won’t be easy either. Its presence remains a huge threat to the tribe.
After hearing Han Cheng’s words, the Third Senior Brother slowly relaxed his bowstring, and the Second Senior Brother, holding a sling, also stopped his actions.
They decided to wait until the evil tribe’s people got closer to the wall before launching their attack.
Meanwhile, the shaman of the Flying Snake Tribe, who was unaware he had already circled the edge of danger, continued speaking to his people. He instructed them to prepare and follow the rhinoceros for the attack.
The enthusiastic Flying Snake Tribe members nodded continuously, showing their complete understanding.
In truth, they would have done this even without the shaman’s instructions; they were already eager to enter the strange cave of the Green Sparrow Tribe.
Primitive people are always straightforward, even in battle. Without any war cries or exchange of names, the shaman removed the basket he carried on his back. Inside was the kind of grass the rhinoceros loved to eat.
He had specifically had it collected on the way here. Although the grass was uncommon and the basket contained little, it was enough to lure the rhinoceros to attack the tribe.
The fastest runner in the Flying Snake Tribe, experienced in such tasks, took the basket and opened it, pulling out a bundle of grass tied with vine.
He quickly threw the basket aside, distanced himself from the rhinoceros as much as possible, and waved the bundle of grass in front of the somewhat dazed rhinoceros.
The rhinoceros, which had been sluggish just moments before, immediately became animated. Its heavy mouth opened, and its rough tongue stretched out, swiftly reaching for the bundle of its favorite food.
The person, already prepared, avoided the rhinoceros’s reach and quickly retreated a few steps, continuing to tease it.
Rhinoceroses are known for their single-minded aggression and can’t tolerate such teasing. Within moments, it became enraged. Snorting angrily, it charged at the person.
This was the chance the person had been waiting for. Seeing that the rhinoceros was successfully provoked, he ran with all his might toward the Green Sparrow Tribe’s gate.
The chasing rhinoceros followed closely, unwilling to let up.
“Don’t shoot! Don’t attack! It’s about to fall into the trap!” Han Cheng, watching the dramatic scene from the wall, shouted, reminding everyone not to lose their composure.
At this moment, it was crucial not to kill the person leading the rhinoceros.
On the wall, many people, seeing this terrifying scene, were tempted to draw their bows for self-defense. Hearing the divine child’s shout, they managed to suppress this urge and maintain their focus.
This is precisely why Han Cheng, who had built such a high reputation over the years, could achieve this effect. It wouldn’t have had the same impact if it were someone else, even if it were the shaman speaking.
The person leading the rhinoceros towards the Green Sparrow Tribe’s gate constantly worried that those standing in the strange cave would attack him. He was overjoyed to see that no attack came and ran even faster.
Fear and delight mixed, and he overlooked even the difference in sound and feel under his feet as he ran.
The Flying Snake Tribe’s shaman and others watching this scene were initially puzzled by the tribe’s people’s lack of attack but soon realized the reason.
These people were paralyzed with fear by the rhinoceros and had forgotten to attack.
Realizing this, the Flying Snake Tribe’s people showed smug and malicious smiles. This tribe would be at their mercy!
“￥!”
The shaman of the Flying Snake Tribe shouted. The eagerly waiting members, roaring and waving their weapons, charged toward the Green Sparrow Tribe with great fervor.
They had waited too long for this!
Among them, the third leader of the Flying Snake Tribe was the most excited and ran the fastest.
He was finally attacking this tribe again and was determined not to fail this time!
Normally, his nature wouldn’t have had his charge so far ahead, but this time was different. First, the shaman was watching from behind. Second, charging behind the rhinoceros was relatively safe. Third, this was a nearly foolproof and advantageous operation.
“￥!”
The crooked-nosed Cao Geng, who had just gotten up from the ground covered in footprints, angrily cursed. He had been tripped by those rushing ahead at such a crucial moment!
This was incredibly frustrating!
He hobbled forward, trying to catch up, unwilling to miss such a good opportunity.
The shaman of the Flying Snake Tribe, standing behind and not moving, watched the scene with flushed cheeks and intense emotions.
“Boom!”
“Roar~! Roar~”
The Flying Snake Tribe member, running fast, had reached the Green Sparrow Tribe’s gate. As he forcefully shoved the grass into the wooden gate, he looked back, fearing the frenzied rhinoceros might catch up with him.
But just as he turned, an unforgettable horror scene appeared before his eyes without warning!
The previously solid ground collapsed, and a large pit appeared on the once-even surface.
The enormous rhinoceros, seen by their tribe as a war weapon, plunged headlong into the deep pit and disappeared.
It was as if the ground had suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the massive rhinoceros!
Amidst the swirling dust, the anguished roars of the rhinoceros filled the air, chilling to the bone.
The man stood frozen. His actions of stuffing grass into the wooden gate ceased unconsciously, the grass falling to the ground, oblivious to the situation…
