I am a Primitive Man-Chapter 706: The Semi-Farming Tribe with Four Legs

“#￥D…”

When the leader of the Sheep Tribe noticed something strange, the person riding the beast in that direction also spotted the people of the Sheep Tribe.

Because this tribe had already taken a step into farming, it was called the Semi-Farming Tribe.

At this moment, the leader of the Semi-Farming Tribe was sitting atop his beast, squinting as he looked toward where the Sheep Tribe leader and his people were.

Today had been very unlucky for the Semi-Farming Tribe. Even though they had traveled a long distance westward, they still hadn’t found much.

The Semi-Farming Tribe leader was ready to take his people back because he worried they wouldn’t get back to the tribe before dark.

If that happened, the wise female priestesses would be worried.

It was precisely at this time that the leader and people of the Sheep Tribe appeared in their sight.

Initially, when the Semi-Farming Tribe leader realized it was a tribe, he was prepared just to lead his people away because he wasn’t very keen on raiding other tribes.

But that thought changed when he saw the amount of prey the few Sheep Tribe people were carrying on their shoulders.

The Semi-Farming Tribe leader’s mouth dropped open, and many of the Semi-Farming Tribe people following him also gawked in disbelief, some even rubbing their eyes hard in astonishment.

It was no wonder—they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

There weren’t many people in front of them, but they were carrying a considerable amount of game!

The Semi-Farming Tribe leader looked back at the prey loaded on the beasts of his tribe, and the difference was noticeable.

So many of his people, after so much effort and travel, had caught less than one of these few strangers.

In a primitive society without laws, there are no truly kind people; good and evil are only relative.

Under certain conditions, good people do bad things, and bad people do good things—it’s just a matter of degree and scale.

Take the Semi-Farming Tribe leader, for example.

Typically, the semi-agricultural tribe, having partially transitioned into farming, would not attack other tribes.

But the current situation was an exception.

The tribe’s recent relocation and food shortage, combined with today’s poor hunting results, were fundamental and indirect reasons.

The direct cause was that the Sheep Tribe, just having achieved their annual plentiful harvest, showed up right when the Semi-Farming Tribe needed food the most.

Because of all these reasons, although the Semi-Farming Tribe normally wouldn’t attack others, they couldn’t hold back now.

“￥%…!”

After staring at each other for a while, as the Sheep Tribe leader and his people, still unsure, turned to bypass the area, the Semi-Farming Tribe leader raised his weapon and shouted an attack order to his people.

Then he slapped the beast beneath him hard, gripping the reins to charge straight toward the Sheep Tribe leader’s group.

The other Semi-Farming Tribe people, hearing their leader’s call, also shouted and galloped forward on their beasts.

Though they hadn’t raided many tribes before, they had no psychological barriers against doing so.

This stretch of terrain was relatively gentle, with few tall trees and mostly grass, making it perfect for the mounted Semi-Farming Tribe people to run swiftly.

The Sheep Tribe leader watched them with bewilderment, which quickly turned to terror. Not only he, but those who saw what was standing over there also became terrified.

Because these people looked incredibly strange!

They had four legs!

Their lower bodies were large, but the four legs looked slender.

Seeing such monsters for the first time, it would be strange if the Sheep Tribe people weren’t scared.

After staring for a while, the Sheep Tribe leader ordered his people to detour and return to their tribe.

He didn’t want to have any contact with these monster-like people.

While walking, he thought to himself that next time the tribe went out to herd sheep, they would need to be more careful, not only to increase manpower but also to bring more weapons. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

If only they had those sharp and beautiful weapons like those of the neighboring tribe.

With those sharp weapons, their tribe would have some ability to defend themselves when encountering these terrifying-looking people in future herding.

It seemed that when they went to exchange goods at that tribe tomorrow, besides trading some salt, they would also try to trade for some of those sharp weapons.

But he wasn’t sure if that tribe would still refuse to trade, as they had before…

Just a few steps after carrying the prey forward while thinking about this, the Sheep Tribe leader’s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly turned back.

What terrified him to the extreme was right there before his eyes!

Those four-legged, large-bottomed creatures shouted and waved weapons, running swiftly toward them!

Their four legs made them swift runners!

What did these monsters want?!

Extreme panic instantly engulfed the Sheep Tribe and its people.

“#￥%!”

The Sheep Tribe leader shouted, leading his panicked people to run forward as fast as possible.

They ran while looking back, and even more fear rose in their hearts.

Because these four-legged monsters were running too fast!

The distance between them was rapidly closing.

“#￥X!”

The Sheep Tribe leader quickly threw down one of the adult rams he was carrying and called on the others to do the same.

Though chased by such terrifying monsters, the Sheep Tribe leader still thought of a solution.

Food was extremely precious at this moment. Even though those chasing them looked frightening, the leader first thought of the food they carried.

Most people react this way; when faced with robbery, the first thought is of their most valued possessions.

Although they were very reluctant to part with the food, the Sheep Tribe quickly ordered everyone to abandon the hard-earned prey.

Without the burden of so much game, they could run faster…

(This is how the centaur came to be.)
