As dawn broke, the hunting party packed up and set off.

Although Sirius is powerful, its load-bearing capacity is not good.

Therefore, when returning with the prey, the tribe members had to carry it back themselves.

Two people carried a prey together, while the others kept watch around them, taking turns to ensure the team's fighting strength.

The soldiers were not only strong, but also very fast. Although carrying prey through the jungle was somewhat of a hindrance, fortunately, everyone was now wearing leather boots, so they no longer had to watch out for poisonous plants and insects while running, which made them much faster.

The journey back was indeed not smooth sailing; they encountered two enormous creatures along the way. Jiang Ning was astonished to see them.

"System! What is this! A dinosaur?!"

"Yes, this is the primitive world, and there are many creatures from your place."

The two dinosaurs in front of me were several times larger than Baiya, appearing to be at least ten meters tall. Their mouths were filled with sharp teeth, and their backs were covered with spikes.

Red Moon had no time to daydream; he quickly alerted the other members of the hunting party. "Watch out! Two spiny lizard beasts!" They thought dinosaurs were the same as lizards, so they called dinosaurs "lizard beasts."

His gaze was fixed ahead, where two spiny lizards were poking their heads out of the grass. Their bodies were streamlined and covered with hard scales, making them look extremely ferocious.

The hunting party members immediately went into battle mode. The members carrying the prey observed the movements of the thorny lizard beast to decide whether to abandon the prey to fight or to run away with it.

They prepared tensely and intently to deal with the attack of the two spiny lizards. Some held spears, ready to throw; others gripped their bows and arrows, aiming at their targets.

The two spiny lizards stared intently at their prey, as if it might vanish at any moment.

Jiang Ning gripped the deer antler knife tightly with both hands, the sweat on her palms dampening the hilt. She took a deep breath; the challenge ahead would be exceptionally difficult. In recent days, the hunting team had never faced two skeletal beasts simultaneously.

She stared ahead, listening to the sounds around her, preparing for the impending battle.

Suddenly, one of the thorny lizards broke the stalemate between the two sides. Its eyes flashed with a fierce light as it aimed at the prey that Qingpan and Dahe were carrying on their shoulders.

The thorny lizard moved swiftly and decisively, opening its massive jaws and pouncing on its prey. Its attack was clearly aimed at capturing its prey.

Seeing this, Qingpan and Dahe reacted quickly. Without hesitation, they threw away the ferocious beasts they were holding, drew their stone knives from their waists, and slashed at the thorny lizard's thick legs. Their movements were decisive and accurate, as if they had already slashed thousands of times.

At the same time, Red Moon leaped off the back of the Sky Wolf, whose speed and coordination were astonishing. Like a bolt of lightning, they charged swiftly towards the Spiny Lizard Beast. Red Moon's spear, like a serpent emerging from its hole, pierced straight for the Spiny Lizard Beast's eye.

Jiang Ning's gaze then settled on another spiny lizard beast. This one was much larger and looked even more ferocious. Its gaze was cold and cruel, clearly indicating it was an extremely formidable opponent.

Although Jiang Ning's heart was racing, she felt no fear. She gripped the antler knife tightly, her eyes fixed on the movements of the thorny lizard beast.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the first attacking thorny lizard, the remaining thorny lizard launched an attack on the prey carried by Red Maple and Fire Cloud with astonishing speed.

Hongfeng and Huoyun reacted instantly, dropping their ferocious beasts and facing the sudden attack of the thorny lizard. The other team members also rushed to their aid.

Hongfeng launched the first attack, using her agile movements to quickly move to the side of the thorny lizard beast, intending to attack its claws. However, the thorny lizard beast reacted very quickly, immediately turning its body and opening its large mouth to bite Hongfeng.

Seeing this, Huo Yun quickly dodged behind the Spiny Lizard Beast, attempting to attack from behind. The Spiny Lizard Beast swung its long tail, knocking him back several steps.

The other team members had arrived by then, and they began to attack from different angles, trying to distract the thorny lizard.

This spiny lizard was very clever; it seemed to know that these attacks wouldn't pose much of a threat, so it continued to keep its eyes on its prey.

It opened its gaping maw and lunged at its prey. Seeing their prey about to be taken, the members of the hunting party were extremely anxious.

At this critical moment, Jiang Ning swiftly leaped up, landing on a tree above the thorny lizard beast's head, and slashed at its head with his sword. However, the thorny lizard beast's head was also covered in sharp spikes, and Jiang Ning's attack was ineffective.

The thorny lizard suddenly swung its head violently, trying to throw Jiang Ning off its back. Her body swayed in the air, almost losing her balance.

The thorny lizard's move was clearly intended to throw her to the ground and then stomp on her or attack her with its claws. This sudden attack made Jiang Ning's heart race, but she did not lose her composure.

In the nick of time, Jiang Ning swiftly grabbed the spikes of the thorny lizard beast, pulled herself up sharply, and skillfully avoided the danger. Her reaction speed and accurate judgment gave her the upper hand in this duel once again.

The thorny lizard's attack failed, but it didn't give up. It violently rammed into a giant tree beside it, attempting to kill Jiang Ning in a mutually destructive manner. Jiang Ning quickly leaped from its head onto the tree, and the others followed.

Taking advantage of the thorny lizard being surrounded by the hunting team, Baiya reacted swiftly, biting down on its leg. Its bite force was astonishing; the thorny lizard roared in pain, and Jiang Ning was nearly thrown off by the enraged beast. Baiya didn't let go. It held its grip tightly on the wound, preventing the thorny lizard from escaping.

However, this thorny lizard was no easy opponent. It roared and did not retreat.

The other members of the hunting team reacted quickly and attacked the thorny lizard.

Jiang Ning seized the opportunity and jumped onto its back. Its back was covered in sharp spikes, with only the area where it connected to its neck being rough skin. Jiang Ning grabbed the spikes at the back of the lizard's neck with his left hand, hanging in the air with one hand, while his right hand gripped the antler knife and plunged it into the lizard's neck.

The thorny lizard's back was covered with sharp spikes, and its weak points were its neck and abdomen. This slash accurately hit its vitals, and the thorny lizard roared in pain, startling the surrounding birds and beasts into flight.

Jiang Ning gripped the spikes at the back of the lizard's neck tightly to avoid being thrown off. With her other hand, she gripped the antler knife and thrust it forcefully into the lizard's neck.

The other members of the hunting party reacted quickly, attacking the thorny lizard's wounds. Eventually, its roars and struggles grew weaker and weaker.

After a fierce battle, it finally stopped moving and completely lost its fighting ability, collapsing under the combined attack of Baiya and other members of the hunting team.

Another thorny lizard was also captured by Red Moon and the others. Dahe was injured by the thorny lizard during the attack, and his arm was cut from the shoulder to the elbow, so deep that the bone was visible. The others also had some minor injuries.

This was not a place to stay for long. Dahe simply sprinkled some medicinal powder to stop the bleeding, then mounted his Sky Wolf and continued on his way, while others carried the prey.

Although many people were injured, the addition of two more strange skeletal beasts made everyone very happy.

As darkness fell, the hunting party finally reached their other hideout, also a secluded cave. Exhausted, they returned with heavy loads of prey on their shoulders, their steps faltering.

Unable to return to their tribe within a day, they decided to spend the night in this cave.

If given a choice, no one would choose to spend the night outside, as nocturnal wild animals are extremely fierce.

These wild beasts are often more alert and ferocious in the dark. They take advantage of the cover of night to launch sudden attacks, catching many prey off guard.

Jiang Ning healed their wounds. Fortunately, the beast teeth were constantly absorbing energy for her; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have had so much magical power to use.

The journey on the second day was quite peaceful. They only encountered some ordinary wild beasts along the way, which retreated on their own when they saw the two strange-boned wolves in the group.

As evening approached, the scenery before Jiang Ning gradually became familiar, and she felt a sense of relief; she had finally arrived at the tribe.
