With the coordination between various squads, the second wave of invading Ferocious Beasts had also fallen.

The other three Ferocious Beasts that had appeared before were no match for the recurve bows, all being struck at their vital points and brought down.

However, that Chimera Ferocious Beast persisted for quite some time, finally being killed by an explosive package.

All the Ferocious Beasts failed to approach within five hundred metres of the Flame Dragon Tribe’s entrance, which was the perimeter denoting danger.

If Ferocious Beasts exceeded this range, it would mean the Warriors stationed at the sentry posts were in danger.

Considering the Ferocious Beasts’ body size and mobility, five hundred metres was more than enough for them to charge to the sentry posts and harm the Warriors without the Warriors being able to reach in time.

This was also why various squads remained on standby and constantly tense, because if the first squad could not handle the situation, other squads would have to immediately step in.

These considerations had to be made when Ferocious Beasts appeared as distant figures, as everyone needed sufficient time to respond and devise their strategy.

Not only that, but the Tribe’s surroundings were the same, with people monitoring everywhere 24 hours a day.

As soon as Ferocious Beasts appeared anywhere, personnel from various squads would head to that location to assemble.

Of course, they had also considered what to do if Ferocious Beasts appeared from two directions simultaneously.

In such cases, the Ferocious Beasts coming in one side would be stopped by entirely relying on the explosive packages, while those from the other side would be left to the firearm squad.

The remaining Totem Warriors also had to remain constantly prepared, as they needed to be ready for close-quarters combat at any moment.

No one knew whether some Ferocious Beasts might safely evade attacks or secretly approach the Tribe. These were all possibilities.

“That Ferocious Beast just now was so fast, it nearly made my eyes blurry.” Ah Zhen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had been watching the Ferocious Beast’s every movement, but his grip on the firearm remained tight, ready to act at any moment.

Although that Ferocious Beast was ultimately dealt with by an explosive package, the firearm squad had not dared to relax during the early stages.

If this Ferocious Beast had evaded the explosive package’s blast range, the firearm squad would have had to immediately eliminate it.

“Yes, if it hadn’t been for an arrow hitting its ankle, the explosive packages probably would not have been able to hit it.” Said someone while continuously watching that carcass.

As if the scene that had just unfolded had not disappeared, the mere thought sent chills down one’s spine.

“It seems these Chimera Ferocious Beasts have very high lethality and defensive capabilities. They truly cannot be underestimated,” Yan Hua’s expression was very solemn.

This was the conclusion Yan Hua had drawn from studying this Ferocious Beast along with the previous two.

Because this Jackal-like Ferocious Beast was similar to the Tiger-like one from an hour ago, both possessing relatively great strength and speed.

Meanwhile, that Tortoise-like Ferocious Beast had strong defensive capabilities, though its attack power had not been observed yet, and its movement speed was far slower.

These were all characteristics that the known Ferocious Beasts lacked. Although those normal Ferocious Beasts were also strong, they simply could not be compared to these three.

It could be described as a little boy against a fully grown man. They were not even on the same level.

“Fortunately, the explosive packages work. Otherwise, our bullets might not have hit their mark.” Sha Lan, having just witnessed the Ferocious Beast’s mobility, suddenly doubted her accuracy.

Although Sha Lan’s accuracy was exceptional, there were still critical moments where she should not fail but felt close to failing.

“The other three Ferocious Beasts do not need to be mentioned. Under the continuous arrows from the recurve bows, they fell within just a few rounds.”

Yan Hua touched her firearm and continued, “Now what poses a threat to us are those strange Ferocious Beasts.”

“Ah’Hua, do you think those Ferocious Beasts are powerful because of their strange appearances?” Sha Lan curiously asked.

She had been wondering whether those Ferocious Beasts might be strong for this very reason, given they seemed to be a combination of several different Ferocious Beasts.

“I think it’s possible. I wonder if one type of Ferocious Beast devoured others and became like this?” Yan Hua speculated.

“Since Co Co enjoys researching so much, should we bring one back for her to study? Perhaps after dissecting it, we would be able to get an answer?” Sha Lan suggested.

Sha Lan had only learned the word ‘dissecting’ from Su Bai’s mouth, having heard it during an experimental procedure.

At that time, surgical suturing procedures were being performed on rabbits. It served as training for medical personnel working in the hospital.

“Cut open its carcass? Right, that way, we might find out the answer.” Yan Hua also found this to be very reasonable.

Yan Hua had previously wondered whether that Ferocious Beast was various things sewn together, because it was truly too ugly, with each part in complete mismatch with the rest.

“We should still ask the Shaman first. If the Shaman is fine with it, then we’ll drag one back.” Sha Lan felt they shouldn’t arbitrarily bring such strange Ferocious Beasts back to the Tribe.

“Yeah. After all, these Ferocious Beasts definitely can’t be eaten.” Yan Hua instantly felt somewhat regretful.

Previously, every year at this time, those defeated Ferocious Beasts would be brought back to the Tribe to be consumed.

Apart from having insufficient food, it was also used to supplement a Warriors’ Qi and Blood.

But now, seeing how disgustingly bizarre these Ferocious Beasts were, Yan Hua had completely lost her appetite for them.

More importantly, after consuming such Ferocious Beast Blood and Meat, no one knew what might happen next. So, on second thought, it was better to forget about consuming them.

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that we used to eat their Blood and Meat,” Sha Lan wrinkled her nose.

She too found these Ferocious Beasts utterly repulsive. With such ugly appearances, they would certainly taste awful.

“We just returned, so we won’t go back right away. Let’s wait for the next wave first,” Yan Hua suggested.

“Sure.” Sha Lan nodded.
