Chapter 3: Robbing Prey
The naturally cautious Gua immediately hid in a nearby thicket and secretly looked out.
Another wave of dog-headed people also knew, the leader was a dog-headed person named Hula, who was one year older than them, and was called a two-year-old dog-headed person.
Although there is only a one-year age gap, the physical gap is not just that little bit. Two-year-old dog-headed people are 15 centimeters taller than one-year-old dog-headed people on average, and their bodies have become much stronger.
The lifespan of the Dog Headed People is less than fifty years, and they develop very quickly. Within a year, this batch of Dog Headed People has grown taller than the previous batch by at least a head.
Internally, the Dog Heads are not united either. Apart from obeying the strong, they engage in unscrupulous struggles until it is clear who the true strong one is. This also ensures that limited resources tilt towards those stronger individuals, starving weaker ones to death, and making the genes of the species stronger through natural selection.
It can be said that the cruel survival reality has made the law of the jungle prevalent within the Dog Head Tribe. Bullying is indeed too common in the Dog Head Tribe.
The gourd's heart was filled with rage, but as a toad monster, his nature still influenced him, so he first calculated his chances of winning and made sure he could win the fight before walking over. He shouted loudly: "Stop!" Hula, who was about to hit the small dog-headed man, turned around and sneered coldly: "Coward, come here."
Before, Gua did not want to fight with these older dog-headed people because he knew his road was still long and did not want to fight with others when he was at a disadvantage. He also did not want to get hurt for the sake of temporary anger, so every time there was a conflict, he would walk around it, earning him the nickname "coward".
Now that the credit has been stolen, his younger brothers are being bullied even more. Moreover, this stag is indeed very important to Guagua, so he stepped forward to challenge the two-year-old dog-headed man.
When Hula called him, the fire of anger rose in Gua's heart, and he walked straight over. Hula was made very uncomfortable by Gua's invasive gaze, and with a flick of his hand, he flung Tusi, the little dog-headed man on his hand, to one side, and rushed over, shouting angrily.
Youxiu has always been cultivating his physical body first, and from a human perspective, it is the most typical way to enter the Tao through martial arts. It's no exception here, after Guagua came to this world, he never wasted a single second, constantly tempering his body.
Watching Hula rush over, Gua opened his stance and waited for Hula to come over. The dog-headed man's running posture was very strange, sometimes like a small jump and sometimes like a small run. For a moment, it was a straight run like a human, but when encountering complex terrain, he would lean forward and run like a dog, making the onlookers' eyes dizzy.
Gua's eyes slightly narrowed, if someone who knew him saw this, they would know something was wrong. At this moment, Gua was still not well-known, and Hula didn't notice this at all. Two sharp claws swiped down fiercely. A glint of light flashed in Gua's eyes as he took a step forward, his horse stance tightened, and he leaned forward fiercely. In an instant, before Hula's two claws could land, he charged into his embrace, using his thin shoulders to bump against Hula's chest.
Kakarot's aim was very accurate, directly using his hardest shoulder to collide with the diaphragm connecting Hula's chest and abdomen. Kakarot's power and Hula's power converged, heavily impacting Hula's vital point.
"With a 'huff!' sound, Hula was knocked to the ground by his own strength, gasping for breath, and suddenly felt a burning pain in his lungs. For these few minutes, he might not be able to get up again. Martial arts is originally a kind of technique that uses one's strongest point to strike the enemy's weakest weakness, and it is also a strategy."
Facing Hula, a small-minded person who only knows how to use brute force, Guagua can deal with him effortlessly. Knowing how to use strength, one can achieve very good results with minimal effort. Moreover, Guagua's physique and strength are not inferior to Hula's, but Hula's overestimation of himself due to his underestimation of Guagua led to this direct defeat.
For Gua, it's like a sick adult fighting a chubby kid in third grade, no pressure at all.
This was also the reason why Gua dared to come out of the grass. Gua walked forward, stepped on Hula's face with his foot, and fiercely twisted his claws on his face twice, looking around at the two-year-old dog-headed people and shouting: "Who doesn't obey?!" The two-year-old dog-headed people next to him looked at each other, seemingly still wanting to move, just as Hula underfoot wanted to turn over and grab Gua's foot. Gua's foot slipped, and he stepped on Hula's paw, instantly producing a cracking sound, blood flowing out from underfoot, completely disabling Hula's hand. Hula suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream, which shocked all the little dog-headed people, who no longer dared to move forward.
As soon as this move came out, the other dog-headed men didn't dare to move forward anymore. Originally, they were only able to fight in favorable circumstances, and as soon as things didn't go their way, they would immediately turn tail and run. At this moment, all of them were intimidated by Gua's fierce aura. They trembled with fear, looking at Gua with eyes full of hesitation and terror.
"Put down the deer!!!" Guagua roared in anger, his fierce barking scaring away all the wild birds around. Making empty threats was also one of Guagua's strong points.
For this kind of gregarious animal, it is even more necessary to grasp its own power. The two-year-old dog-headed people suddenly became timid, looked at each other for a few eyes, threw down the male deer and Hula, and turned around and ran away.
Thus, Gua got back his prey and took the three little dog-heads back to the cave. Except for the Tusi who was bullied by Hula just now, the other two little dog-heads named Tubba and Tudou were also very determined to guard Gua's spoils of war, and they were also bullied the most miserably, which Gua remembered in his heart.
Back in the cave, he handed over the male deer to the Great Elder. The Great Elder was the highest and oldest of the dog-headed people. He was the only wizard in the Stubborn Stone tribe, a 3rd-level wizard who had awakened the dragon pulse.
His age is already very old, and Gua Gua doesn't know exactly how old he is. He only knows that the leader of the Five-Year-Old Dog Head People, Jia Da, is his grandson. However, one thing is certain: the Great Elder has definitely exceeded the 50-year-old heavenly year of the Dog Head People.
Standing in front of the great elder, Guagua felt a heavy pressure bearing down on him, this was the natural intimidation of a practitioner, or what could be called charm.
