We made you the chief, and now you've become the world's chief?

Chapter 117 The Xia Tribe Needs a Hero

The three human corpses had now transformed into werewolves!
The arrow that had penetrated their bodies was pulled out by the three werewolves in one go.

Before the blood could even spray out, the wound had already healed.

Strong self-healing ability!
Xia Minghao's pupils dilated in shock, his heart filled with astonishment.

This is a completely new form of totem power, entirely different from the fire totems and wind totems I'd heard about before.

It is a power that acts directly on one's own body, producing unimaginable strengthening effects.

After a brief moment of thought, the three werewolves immediately exerted their strength, leaped up, and ran towards Xia Minghao.

In that instant, time seemed to stand still.

Xia Minghao clearly saw that the body of one of the werewolves was rapidly shrinking, as if the mysterious power of the totem was disappearing with it.

Before he could observe carefully, the knife slashed down, the thick rope was cut, a creaking sound rang out, and the sharp wooden fence fell down.

With a loud crash, the three werewolves rammed right into the suddenly falling wooden spike!

A strange yelp rang out, as if a dog's tail had been stepped on.

They had already been triggered and fell, hanging precariously from the sharp wooden fence at the cave entrance, with three werewolves clinging to them.

One of the werewolves has recovered to its previous normal human state.

Of the other two, one is recovering, and the other still retains its wolf form.

"Shoot the werewolf!"

Considering such a powerful self-healing ability, Xia Minghao did not hesitate and immediately gave the order.

The other armed groups, lacking such combat experience, were all terrified.

Only after Xia Minghao reminded them did they begin to reload the arrows and work together to draw the string!

In the blink of an eye, the werewolf that wasn't quite dead opened its eyes again!
And its body began to move, as if trying to break free.

At the same time, the werewolf's body was gradually changing, and it was about to shed its wolf form.

Seemingly sensing the loss of power, the werewolf struggled even more fiercely, on the verge of breaking free completely.

Whoosh whoosh!
The three giant arrows finally flew out.

Unfortunately, due to the panic of the armed forces, one shot hit the sharp wooden fence, while the other missed and flew out of the cave without a trace.

Only one shot successfully struck the center of the werewolf's forehead, piercing straight into its brain.

It was indeed Lipa who shot this arrow. Even if it hit, judging from Lipa's trembling body and pale lips, it must have been a coincidence.

hiss……

Although it was clear that the werewolf was unlikely to survive, and the totem power was visibly disappearing.

But Xia Minghao still felt it wasn't safe and had to deliver another blow.

Moreover, he had also witnessed the performance of the armed forces.

No wonder that in war, new recruits are mostly cannon fodder, while veterans have a greater chance of survival.

Without encountering a powerful enemy, one has no idea how vulnerable one is.

Taking advantage of finishing off this group of werewolves, he could let his own armed forces members practice their courage, and in this way, the new recruits would become veterans.

"Grab your weapons and come with me!"

Xia Minghao shouted, startling everyone who was still immersed in fear.

The instructions were clear, and everyone tremblingly picked up their weapons and followed behind the chief.

Just as he was about to step out to a safe distance, Xia Minghao stopped.

"Everyone, go and stab them!"

Xia Minghao gave the order, but none of the armed team members dared to step forward.

Even Lipa is the same.

Seeing the state of everyone, Xia Minghao frowned.

Just as I was about to scold him, I suddenly heard a loud shout from behind me!
Suddenly, a burly man rushed over, picked up a huge rock, and started smashing it, shouting something indistinctly as he did so.

It's Babo!
Since bringing back the news, Babo has become a walking corpse in the Xia tribe, wandering aimlessly every day while constantly muttering to himself.

Unexpectedly, he has now become the first to rush up and finish off the corpse, without the slightest fear!
Watching Babo take the stone and smash it against the corpses of the wolf tribe, first hitting the torso, but seemingly unable to break it, he then hit the head.

Now they could finally smash it. At first, they smashed it until blood flowed out, then brains flew everywhere, and finally, they smashed all the heads to pieces.

Upon seeing this, Xia Minghao's eyes lit up.

It was hatred that robbed Babo of his fear, and perhaps after this desecration of the corpse, Babo's psychological trauma would be alleviated, thus making him the bravest warrior in the tribe to face the wolf tribe!

At the same time, this action, in the eyes of the other members of the tribe, could dispel some of their fear of the wolf tribe, which could be considered a slight boost to the overall morale of the Xia tribe.

Sure enough, after witnessing what Babo had done, the armed men around him were no longer so trembling, and at least they were able to stand up straight.

Looking back at the Xia tribe people watching, they were all wide-eyed with astonishment, but most of them no longer showed obvious fear.

"Barbo! Can you hear me, Barbo!"

Seeing that the heads of the three wolf tribesmen were all smashed to pieces, and that it seemed impossible for them to be resurrected by any kind of self-healing ability, Xia Minghao finally spoke up.

But Babo continued smashing, growling incessantly, until he was hoarse and exhausted.

He swung the stone again and again, his arms bulging with veins, visibly exhausted.

"Bab!"

With another loud shout, Babo suddenly realized what was happening and stopped what he was doing.

He plopped down on the ground, staring at the red and white expanse before him.

Immediately, Babo burst into heart-wrenching sobs...

“Go and help Babo up.”

Xia Minghao looked at the armed team members beside him and said.

The group exchanged bewildered glances until they heard the chief speak again.

"He is our hero..."

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to realize something and rushed forward to help Babo up from the blood plasma.

Is he a hero?
It's hard to say... after all, all he did was desecrate a corpse.

Xia Minghao didn't know if he was a hero, but he knew that the Xia tribe needed a hero as a role model!
A nation without heroes has no backbone.

Xia Minghao had forgotten this sentence before, but only now did he remember it.

It was precisely what happened today that made Xia Minghao realize that he had forgotten to help the Xia tribe stand tall.

Once someone is given the title of hero, they are no longer a person, but a symbol.

If we only talk about merits, the archer Lipa and the other members of the armed team deserve more credit, and even the Xia tribe men and women who worked together to build the sharp wooden fence deserve more credit than Babo.

But it was Babo who most directly smashed the heads of this powerful wolf tribe.

He's more suited to be the hero...

By glorifying heroes, the Xia tribe could embolden themselves to face the ferocious wolf tribe. Xia Minghao needed the Xia tribe to possess such courage!

Babo was carried away and placed in an abandoned mud house.

Turning his head to watch Babo's figure disappear, Xia Minghao's eyes revealed a hint of pity and expectation.

I believe that making this poor man a hero of the Xia tribe will not disappoint me.

One day, Babo will do something truly heroic!

After having the others escort him back to Babo, Xia Minghao led the rest of the group into the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

This time, no one was afraid anymore. It was unclear whether they were influenced by Babo or realized that the three headless corpses posed no danger.

"Chief, if we hang these corpses up and put them outside, the wolf tribe won't dare to come."

While examining the condition of the three corpses, they suddenly heard Lipa's voice.

His pale lips had regained some color, so he must have recovered.

Xia Minghao didn't blame the group for their cowardice earlier; it was just human nature. He smiled and patted Lipa on the shoulder.

"That's such a waste."

"waste?"

Lipa had thought he had come up with a great suggestion and was waiting for the chief to praise him, but upon hearing this, a look of confusion appeared on Lipa's face.

Xia Minghao smiled, offered no explanation, and continued to observe the corpse.

Hanging the three corpses did have an effect, but it didn't frighten the wolf tribe as Lipa claimed.

Instead, they gradually eliminated the fear of the Xia tribe by hanging up the corpses.

If Xia Minghao were truly a caveman, he would indeed do that.

But as a modern person, Xia Minghao wanted to dissect these corpses to see if he could find any clues about the power of the mysterious totem.

"Move all three corpses into that empty shed."

"You can't really tell anything just by looking," Xia Minghao said, pointing to a nearby shed.

Many sheds have been erected now, all built by outsiders.

The area within Yanquan Mountain is vast, but one-tenth of it has already been fitted with rain shelters, which has greatly expanded the Xia tribe's range of activities during the rain.

After the armed men carried the three corpses from the pool of blood, Xia Minghao also had a bronze saw brought in.

Just as I was about to make some cuts, something suddenly occurred to me.

Xia Minghao then looked at the crowd of onlookers.

The shed was now completely blocked, with both outsiders and members of the Xia tribe.

After a moment's thought, Xia Minghao stood up and addressed the crowd.

"Who among you is willing to slaughter them like you did with the saber-toothed tiger and the man-faced bear?"

Upon hearing Xia Minghao's words, everyone exchanged glances, their faces showing a mixture of slight fear and, more importantly, reluctance.

why?
Because these people are human, they have humanity, and they regard the wolf tribe as one of their own.

But are they really the same kind?

Seeing everyone's reactions, Xia Minghao realized a more important problem.

This group of people hasn't figured out who their friends are and who their enemies are.

They still consider the wolf tribe members to be their own kind, which leads to wishful thinking and judging others by their own standards.

If the wolf tribe were to actually attack, they might not fight to the death, but instead, driven by instinct and a misconception, choose to beg for mercy.

This is a more serious problem than simply lacking courage!

That is, they can't tell who is a friend and who is an enemy!
Xia Minghao ripped off the wolf tribesman's leather skirt and held it high in the air.

"This is not the skin of any animal; it is the skin of a human being, the skin of us and other human beings!"

"The flesh inside their bellies isn't that of wild beasts, but that of people just like us!"

"They are not our kind; they are more terrifying and horrifying than wild beasts!"

Upon hearing Xia Minghao's words, everyone finally understood what they were, and the image of the werewolf they had seen earlier immediately came to mind.

"The Bab tribe was eaten by them..."

Xia Minghao recounted the experiences of the Ba tribe, trying his best to explain them thoroughly using the primitive language.

After some people understood, in addition to fear, a hint of anger also appeared on their faces. This is empathy in human nature; they also felt empathy for Babo.

After he finished speaking, Xia Minghao felt a headache coming on. Although he had made progress in language, the vocabulary of the original language was too limited, making it quite troublesome to speak clearly and thoroughly.

If there is an opportunity in the future, it would be very necessary to work on this aspect and introduce Chinese into the language system to enrich the languages ​​of the other world.

After finishing his explanation, Xia Minghao still felt something was missing: the most direct, concise, and powerful slogan.

"The wolf tribe must die! Because we must live!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a small number of people who understood what Xia Minghao had said immediately shouted out, as loud as the battle cry during a hunt!

Those who didn't quite understand were also infected by the atmosphere, and their roars grew louder and louder, even drowning out the thunder for a moment.

The effects were visible, but ultimately they were superficial. Xia Minghao needed to see tangible changes.

"Who among you came and slaughtered this wolf tribe as if they were those man-faced bears!"

"I come!"

"I'm coming too!"

When he said this again, it was no longer like throwing a stone into the sea; instead, many people responded, including a few from the Xia tribe, but surprisingly, most of them were outsiders.

They had received very little civilized education and their barbarity was even greater. Ironically, this turned out to be a good thing, giving them more courage.

Xia Minghao remembered the dozen or so outsiders who surged up, and he was already planning to directly incorporate them into the Xia tribe and make them part of the armed force.

Under Xia Minghao's instructions, the dozen or so people began to dissect the three headless corpses with gritted teeth.

They muttered Xia Minghao's last words, while simultaneously feeling Babo's anger in their minds.

It seems that their tribe has also suffered a devastating blow from the wolf tribe, and they have become Babo.

Xia Minghao remained calm, observing each of the separated parts.

To be honest, Xia Minghao knew nothing about this subject and had never been interested in anatomy before.

Even now, watching from the sidelines, it's difficult to discern any difference between the people of this wolf tribe and normal people.

It seems that apart from the muscle fibers being thicker and longer, there is not much difference.

When Xia Minghao opened his stomach and saw the undigested human remains inside, he felt completely horrified.

However, the others were struck by the direct visual impact and, recalling the chief's earlier words, became even more indignant.

Just then, with a clang, something that looked like a small pebble fell out from the heart area of ​​a dissected corpse.

Compared to ordinary pebbles, this thing not only resembles a heart in shape, but also emits an eerie green glow...
