548: The first wave of beasts ended

“Hmm… it's alright. Before, I never really needed to go all out, did I?” Maple Leaf said with a smile, subtly shifting the topic away from her hidden strength.

However, she hadn't deliberately concealed it. Just as she said, there truly hadn't been any situations that required her to exert her full strength.

Even for daily tasks like hunting, she would join the hunting party and didn't need to put in much effort. Everyone cooperated in the hunt, making it very relaxed and enjoyable.

After all, the overall strength of the Tianjing Tribe was quite formidable.

It was completely different from the tribe she had been in before.

This was the deep foundation of a super-large tribe.

“It seems so.” Qing said with a smile. He wasn't doubting Maple Leaf, but rather marveling at her strength. Moreover, Maple Leaf had somewhat integrated into the Tianjing Tribe these days.

The Tianjing Tribe had initially accepted Maple Leaf's joining.

Despite this, Qing always had a hunch that Maple Leaf had an ulterior motive for coming to the Tianjing Tribe, but he felt that this motive wouldn't pose a great danger to the Tianjing Tribe... So, he had always paid a little attention to Maple Leaf, without being overly vigilant.

However, the strength Maple Leaf displayed now was no weaker than that of the Brave Warrior powerhouses within the tribe.

The addition of such a powerhouse to the Tianjing Tribe was a good thing for the Tianjing Tribe.

But... Maple Leaf was an outsider after all. Although the Tianjing Tribe was very inclusive, Qing's intuition told him that Maple Leaf had an ulterior motive. However, with many powerhouses in the Tianjing Tribe, they were not necessarily afraid of Maple Leaf causing trouble.

Furthermore, what could the Tianjing Tribe possibly have that she would covet? Resources, for powerhouses like Brave Warrior, were never lacking.

Even if she wasn't in the Tianjing Tribe, wherever Maple Leaf went, she would receive the highest treatment!

What could she possibly lack?

The only thing she might be after... was probably the “Heavenly Crystal” of the Tianjing Tribe?

Qing also thought of this, but Maple Leaf had never shown any abnormalities... In her daily life, she was very “obedient” and cooperative with work, and she was very active in contributing... He found it hard to say anything.

Now that Maple Leaf's strength was revealed, Qing's vigilance increased even further.

It was precisely because Maple Leaf's strength meant she “lacked nothing”! Qing's intuition again told him that Maple Leaf must have an ulterior motive, and the only possibility was the Heavenly Crystal.

Many people had their eyes on the Heavenly Crystal. Over the years, many powerhouses in the Tianjing Tribe were outsiders who initially had ideas about the Heavenly Crystal, but now, they have gradually integrated into the Tianjing Tribe and become a part of it.

They were eventually “assimilated” and are now completely uninterested in the Heavenly Crystal.

“You've been fighting for so long, you must be tired, right? Let's go, let's go back and rest for a while, the Hunting Celebration isn't over yet!” Qing said to Maple Leaf with a smile, inviting her to return to the tribe with him.

The task of cleaning up the battlefield was naturally left to the people below.

“Okay.” Maple Leaf nodded and followed Qing back to the Tianjing Tribe.

“The Hunting Celebration is a small wave every two days, a large wave every five days, lasting for half a month.

Now, the first small wave has just begun. The next one will be the day after tomorrow. Then, on the fifth day, a large wave will erupt, with a scale and quantity at least three times that of this small wave!” Qing said to Maple Leaf: “In half a month, there will be at least 7 small waves and 3 large waves.”

For the Tianjing Tribe, the beast tide was both an opportunity and a challenge, and also a form of tempering for the tribe's warriors.

At the same time, many people died every year during the Hunting Celebration. Of course, those who died were all lower-ranking warriors.

High-end combat forces had no possibility of dying in such a beast tide.

After all, these beast tides didn't have any super bosses or anything like that.

It was a very pure beast tide.

Every year, the Tianjing Tribe could obtain an extremely large amount of resources through the beast tide, such as beast meat, beast bones, beast hides, etc. They had more than enough, absolutely more than enough, and most of it would be used for production, storage, and so on.

However, the consumption of flesh and blood was also enormous for the Tianjing Tribe's population every day.

The flesh and blood of these fierce beasts were of better quality and also helped the warriors of the Tianjing Tribe improve.

These were all opportunities.

Moreover, the beast tide brought rich practical experience to the warriors of the Tianjing Tribe, as well as the experience of fighting in a bloodbath.

They had all witnessed such grand scenes!

Therefore, the combat power of the Tianjing Tribe was much, much stronger than that of other large tribes of the same level.

Maple Leaf and Qing returned to the Tianjing Tribe.

Along the way, there were people coming and going, and all of them carried a strong smell of blood.

However, joy was on everyone's faces. Even if someone died in battle, no one felt sad, because they died fighting. In this world, warriors of a tribe who die in battle never feel sadness, but rather honor!

Not to mention the Tianjing Tribe; they were already a tribe bathed in battle and blood.

The annual beast tide was no joke.

“Go rest! You need to recuperate well these two days, we still have to continue fighting tomorrow!” Qing said to Maple Leaf.

Maple Leaf saw that among the busy crowd, some people were sitting or standing at ease.

She recognized them; they were the group who had charged at the very front earlier. In this situation, these powerhouses “don't work,” while the weaker ones not only fight but also “serve” the powerhouses.

However, no one in the Tianjing Tribe had any complaints. Although it had always been this way, if you wanted such treatment, you could, by becoming stronger! That's all! If you couldn't, then you should honestly do what you were supposed to do!

Moreover, direct combat and charging were also done by these powerhouses.

The Tianjing Tribe indeed had a system where the stronger one's ability, the greater their responsibility. While enjoying good treatment, they also made greater contributions and bore greater responsibilities.

This was also why the people below had no objections, and it also served as a way to spur themselves to become stronger.

Maple Leaf adapted to the local customs and also went to sit down on the side.

At this moment, she felt the surroundings darken. She looked up and saw several tribal warriors standing in front of her, blocking the sunlight.

“Hello! If I'm not mistaken, your name is Maple Leaf, right?” one warrior said.

“Yes, that's right!” Maple Leaf nodded, then stood up. She recognized that the several people in front of her were Brave Warrior powerhouses of the Tianjing Tribe.

These people came not to cause trouble, but because although Maple Leaf had joined, such a “small matter” of an “outsider” joining would not be noticed by people of the Brave Warrior level.

What's more, although Maple Leaf was very active, strength was everything.

Being active only indicated ambition, so she still wouldn't catch the eye of these powerhouses.

But today, the strength Maple Leaf displayed completely drew the attention of these powerhouses directly to her.
