Chapter 5 - When a Fierce Beast Kneels, It Must Have a Request

Shi Teng had just turned around when the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros in the distance suddenly let out a roar, instantly becoming agitated.

The huge beast slammed its heads down with force, sending the two burly men flying.

Shi Linhu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he roared, "Beast, die!"

He leaped into the air, his giant axe hacking down towards the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros' head.

The Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros was just an ordinary Fierce Beast, but its body was as hard as iron. Eating its meat could make one's muscles, bones, and skin as tough as iron.

Its True Blood and True Essence were preserved in the Rhinoceros Horn, so it would better protect the horn.

Seeing Shi Linhu wielding his giant axe and hacking towards its head…

The Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros seized the opportunity and suddenly kicked out with its hind leg, sending Shi Linhu flying.

The Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros was three zhang tall, and its hind leg was as thick as a bucket. The force of that kick could instantly kill an ordinary person!

Fortunately, Shi Linhu's hide was thick!

"Pfft!"

Shi Linhu's body slammed to the ground, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, apparently seriously injured.

Shi Feijiao quickly rushed over to Shi Linhu, his face filled with concern. "Brother Hu, are you alright?"

Shi Linhu sat upright on the ground, his right hand clutching his chest, unable to move for a moment. He spoke in a low voice, "Don't worry about me, kill the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros first. There's no food left in the village!"

Shi Feijiao nodded. He knew that over three hundred people in the village were waiting for them to bring back food!

Eyes widening, he shouted, "Everyone attack together!"

Four or five burly men attacked the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros together.

Their axes hacked at the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros's tough hide, but they couldn't break through.

The pain still caused the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros to roar, desperately trying to escape, but the men used nets to restrain it.

Seeing that everyone was about to attack again,

the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros suddenly opened its huge mouth and spewed out a scorching fireball. Two men raised their axes to defend.

They were instantly knocked away.

The Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros used its legs to propel itself forward, its sharp Rhinoceros Horn charging directly at Shi Feijiao.

Shi Feijiao wasn't as burly as Shi Linhu, but he lived up to his name, his body agile like a dragon in the water.

He didn't dodge; instead, he charged towards the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.

Everyone's expressions shifted slightly, unsure what Shi Feijiao was planning. Could he really be trying to go head-to-head with the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros?

That's not just being stubborn!

But just as the man and the beast were about to collide, Shi Feijiao's feet suddenly exploded with force, launching him into the air, and he directly leaped onto the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros's head.

One hand clung tightly to the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros's Rhinoceros Horn, while the other hammered down on the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros's head.

The sounds of "Peng, peng, peng" echoed.

The Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros howled in pain, constantly shaking its head.

At the same time, the other few people also quickly surrounded the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros and attacked. Taking advantage of this opportunity, four people grabbed the front legs of the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.

With a sudden exertion of force,

The Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros lost control of its front legs and immediately crashed to the ground.

It let out "hu hu hu" sounds, seemingly making a final struggle.

After struggling for a while, it finally stopped moving.

Shi Teng revealed a slight smile. There was still a huge gap between ordinary people and Fierce Beasts.

It took so much manpower and effort just to kill a single Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.

But why isn't it like what's written in the novels? Shouldn't an Azure-Scaled Eagle appear to steal the food at this time?

Shi Feijiao jumped down when he saw that the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros was no longer moving.

A look of joy appeared on his face, "Find someone to tie up this beast and carry it back. It's so big, it should be enough for everyone to eat for three to five days!"

Then he turned around and said, "Brother Hu, are you alright?"

Shi Linhu gently stroked his chest, shook his head slightly, and a look of relief appeared on his rugged face. Finally, the villagers wouldn't have to go hungry!

Then, his expression drastically changed as he shouted, "Watch out!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros suddenly opened its eyes again. It opened its huge mouth and spat out a fireball towards Shi Feijiao, which struck him directly in the back.

He rolled several times on the ground, his back a bloody mess, and instantly lost consciousness.

The Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros's eyes were bloodshot, and its entire body was covered in bloodstains. It climbed up from the ground again, letting out a roar towards the sky.

It exuded a powerful aura.

Seeing this, the other villagers all took a few steps back in fear.

They were also very puzzled.

They didn't understand why this Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros was so difficult to deal with today.

Shi Linhu gritted his teeth. As the leader of Stone Village, their purpose for this outing was to find prey for their people.

Everyone in the village was waiting for them to return!

He seemed to see the hungry villagers and the crying children in his mind.

Shi Linhu's eyes flashed with determination as he struggled to stand up, using his battle axe for support.

He shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone! This beast is at the end of its rope. Let's join forces and kill it. The villagers are waiting for us!"

Thinking of his family and the children in the village, the four or five men were filled with renewed energy.

Under Shi Linhu's command, they launched an attack.

But no matter how they attacked, the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros refused to give up.

It fell to the ground several times in a row, yet still stood up again. Its body, originally as hard as iron, was already covered in blood.

Sometimes, it even deliberately protected its round belly.

Shi Tieshan stood in place, using his axe to support himself, panting heavily.

He muttered, "Brother Hu, I can't do it anymore, really can't. This beast is still a Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros? I'm starting to suspect it's an Ancient Descendant! It still hasn't given up resisting!"

Shi Tiezhu also spoke, "Brother Hu, I can't either. I have no strength left in my whole body. I can't even run. If we keep dragging this out, I reckon all of us will be finished here.

I think we should give up on this Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros. Later, we can go into the forest and pick some wild fruits to fill our stomachs for the people in the clan!"

Shi Tieshan continued, "Yeah, Brother Hu, let's give up. Feijiao is also seriously injured and needs to be taken back quickly to find the clan leader for treatment, otherwise, he might be in danger!"

Shi Linhu's face showed unwillingness.

But there really wasn't a good solution at the moment. It wouldn't be worth it if they lost a few brothers for a Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.

Shi Teng nodded gently.

Two burly men helped Shi Feijiao to his feet, and the group of seven men, supporting and helping each other, prepared to leave.

Suddenly, a figure rushed over from afar, and a cheerful voice called out, "How could I let my clansmen go without meat? Leave this to me!"

"Shi Teng!"

Shi Teng's appearance shocked everyone.

They watched as Shi Teng threw a punch at the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros.

Shi Linhu said worriedly, "Little Teng, come back! You're no match for it!"

As soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Boom!

With a single punch, the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros, which had always stood firm, was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

The entire ground shook.

Everyone was stunned!

"This!"

Shi Teng leaped forward, lifting the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros with both hands and throwing it away.

Then, he raised the Xingtian Axe he had obtained from the sign-in, preparing to extract the precious blood from its Rhinoceros Horn and give it to the Willow God.

"Beast, die for me!"

As Shi Teng raised the Xingtian Axe, the Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros surprisingly stepped forward again, its two knees giving way as it "thumped" down, kneeling at Shi Teng's feet.

Its originally crimson eyes were filled with tears.

Shi Teng, holding the Xingtian Axe, hesitated slightly.

Shi Tiezhu spoke, "When a Fierce Beast Kneels, It Must Have a Request!"

Shi Tieshan also spoke up, "When we just started the attack, I observed that it was often deliberately protecting its abdomen. Look at its round belly; could there be offspring inside?"

Shi Teng's eyes lit up slightly as he examined it carefully, and indeed, that was the case.

The Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros's belly was round, and someone who didn't know better might have thought it was simply full.

However, upon closer inspection, you would find that its milk was abundant and its skin was lustrous. It looked like it would give birth soon.

Don't eat the crucian carp in March, for thousands of baby fish are in its belly.

Don't hurt the birds in spring, for their young are in the nest waiting for their mothers to return.

Even if you want to eat meat, you can't be too cruel. This is a life for two!
