I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village-Chapter 391: Driving Away!
Su Bai arrived at the gathering place of the Warrior Trainees, where Yan Jiao had also just arrived. The Chieftain looked extreme tense.
He frowned and said, "Shaman, the River Bears have appeared, you should go back first. The rain outside is very heavy."
"I want to see what is happening" Su Bai responded just as seriously.
He had already learned some details about the River Bears from Yu Ying on his way over.
When he heard that the River Bears were preparing to come ashore, and that the rainy season would become more severe, the first thing that came to his mind was Shengyu, from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
From the Classic of Mountains and Seas, in somewhere called Jade Mountain, there was a type of bird in the mountains. It was shaped like a pheasant but was entirely red. It had the name, Shengyu. It specifically ate fish and its cries sounded like deer calls, Whichever country it appeared in would always experience floods.
When Su Bai heard Yu Ying’s description of the River Bear, this mythical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas came to mind.
"This is too dangerous. Shaman, you cannot go. The River Bears are very fierce!" Yan Jiao immediately refused.
"I’ll just watch from afar. Don’t worry about me. Driving it away is more urgent." Su Bai did not back down.
He really wanted to see what a River Bear was, and understand what kind of Ferocious Beast it was since it could affect everyone in the Tribe.
"…" After thinking seriously for a very long time, Yan Jiao knew he could not convince the Shaman. "In that case, Shaman, please stay a further distance away."
"En. Go arrange for the Warriors to depart." Su Bai nodded.
Yan Jiao rushed to the Warrior Trainees and instructed, "Everyone, grab your weapons. We’re going to drive away the River Bears."
"Drive away the River Bears!" the Warrior Trainees shouted in unison.
*Step step step…*
Under Yan Jiao’s leadership, the group marched magnificently toward the riverside.
Su Bai headed in the same direction under the protection of two Totem Warriors and four Warrior Trainees.
Yu Ying and Co Co were left in the Tribe, as it was too dangerous for them to tag along.
Half an hour later, Yan Jiao and the others arrived at a spot some distance from the riverside. At this time, there was no Ferocious Beast visible on the river’s surface.
Su Bai frowned as he looked at the river’s surface, his expression somewhat serious, because the river water had become turbulent, much more fierce than usual.
"Everyone be careful. Stay far from the riverbed. Don’t let the River Bear affect you!" Yan Jiao shouted loudly.
"Yes!" The Warrior Trainees responded again.
*Pitter patter…*
*Awooo…*
*Splash splash…*
The sound of rain, the River Bears’ roars, and the sound of the flowing river intertwined. It was as if the world was shrouded in layers of noises.
Everyone’s expression was solemn, some even looked to be in pain, as the River Bears’ calls were too difficult for them to bear.
Su Bai frowned and began walking toward the Warriors, drawing Shaman Runes as he walked.
After reaching the Warriors, he extended both hands and casted his Curing Skill, instantly covering the Warriors’ heads with green light.
Because there were so many people, Su Bai used a lot of Shaman Power. Naturally, covering everyone required even more effort.
Sweat began slowly dripping from his forehead, and the entire Curing Skill lasted for three minutes.
Su Bai finally lowered his hands and took a deep breath, saying, "I’ve cast the Healing Shaman Technique on all of you, it can temporarily relieve your pain while dealing with the River Bear."
This was all he could do. After all, they had more experience in dealing with River Bears.
"Thank you, Shaman." The Warriors said in unison.
Yan Jiao cast an appreciative and respectful glance before continuing to lead the Warriors forward.
All the Warriors raised their longbows and recurve bows, beginning to aim toward the river.
*Awooo…* The River Bears sounded again, changing from the originally muffled sound to become truly piercing.
However, with Su Bai’s Curing Skill, the discomfort had largely dissipated for the Warriors.
They did not lower their weapons to cover their ears, but continued seriously aiming toward the river.
*Splash splash…*
The river became increasingly rapid, with water rushing away like a curtain.
A small slope began to appear on the river surface not far away, then the water flow slowly parted, completely revealing a head.
Then came its shoulders, body, and a pair of giant claws, its mouth constantly open wide emitting sharp sounds.
"Release the arrows!" Yan Jiao commanded.
*Whoosh whoosh…* The warriors’ arrows were already prepared, and everyone released them simultaneously.
Instantly, the sky seemed to rain arrows, with dense arrow shafts all advancing toward the River Bear.
*Awooo…* The originally loudly roaring River Bear was struck by many arrows on its body, head, and in its mouth. It was now crying out in pain.
Some arrows stuck in it, some were swatted away by its claws, and some missed and fell into the river.
"Continue, aiming for the head!" Yan Jiao continued commanding.
He saw that although the River Bear had been hit by many arrows, it was still approaching the shore.
Another wave of arrows advanced toward the River Bear, and this time, they were closer. So, the arrows released hit with more force.
Although the River Bear was large and strong, the fact was it moved clumsily and reacted slowly was their only saving grace. Otherwise, it would have climbed ashore long ago.
Therefore, it could not avoid, and the second wave of arrows also successfully hit the River Bear, with some aimed at its vital points.
Places like its eyes, mouth, and chest were targeted to inflict serious wounds.

*Awooo…* The River Bear let out another miserable cry, its movements clearly slowing further, but it continued advancing, nonetheless.
Yan Jiao’s expression was not as solemn as it was at first. This time, driving away the River Bear did not seem as difficult as before.
It was clear the opponent was already badly wounded. In previous years, it had not been this simple – they could not drive away a River Bear without losing several Totem Warriors and Warrior Trainees.
In previous years, they did not have longbows and recurve bows. They could only rely on spears and stones to drive them away.
With those weapons, being able to drive one away was already quite good, However, if many River Bears had come ashore at one, they would easily destroy houses on the outer region of the Tribe.
Fortunately, this time, Yan Jiao need not be that worried since they had bows.
Although the River Bear continued advancing, just two more waves of arrows would be enough to repel it.
"Continue. Don’t slow down." Yan Jiao continued commanding.
"Yes!" The Warrior Trainees responded again, continuing to raise their longbows.
*Boom…*
The rain of arrows continued once more, and this time, the River Bear completely fell.
Most arrows were aimed at its head, so it was no longer able to escape.
