On a hill far from the Copper Ore Base, a disorganized group of Beastmen stood at the mountain top, looking at the bustling Copper Ore Base in the distance where numerous blast furnaces continuously spewed black smoke into the sky.

"So this is where the base was initially established? It seems that Grom wasn't taken out by those things, but can anyone tell me whose force these Beastmen belong to?"

At the forefront stood a lion humanoid over three meters tall, with golden fur like cast gold, and a half-scarred, imposing head.

Just by standing there casually, the lion humanoid exuded a terrifying aura, causing the surrounding air to tense up, and a heavy pressure settled on the hearts of all the Beastmen.

"I don't know, maybe there's a very powerful Lord here, and Grom accidentally provoked him, so the whole tribe branch was destroyed."

"Possibly, look at the remnants of the base over there. It should have been the tribe's station at the time, only to be breached and destroyed, then partially rebuilt on the ruins."

Behind him, several Beastmen were chattering, starting to speculate about the situation in front of them.

They were the elite Beastmen sent by the Blood Claw Tribe.

A few years ago, to achieve a certain plan, they had the bears within the tribe lead a group of Beastmen to migrate southeast, hoping to find a suitable place to establish a bridgehead.

Finally, two years ago, with the strong support of the whole Blood Claw Tribe, whether it be population, weapons, or food, they were adequately supplied. Grom led a group of elite Beastmen and finally established a branch base hundreds of miles to the southwest.

With the continuous support from the tribe, the entire tribe branch rapidly expanded, growing from a tribe of dozens within a short time to over a thousand in just a year.

Just as the branch was about to stabilize, there had been no news from the branch for more than half a year starting from last year.

As those things became increasingly rampant, the tribe alliance had to migrate north, striving to break through the human Bloody Great Wall defense. Naturally, they couldn't let the rear become compromised, so the Blood Claw Tribe sent a small elite team to investigate, hoping to clarify whether it was destroyed by a powerful Magic Beast occupying the place or eroded and occupied by those things.

"Interesting, are they smelting iron?"

Looking at the busy scene in front where numerous earthy-yellow weapons were being cast, with piles of weapons and armor stacked like mountains, the lion humanoid showed a sinister smile.

Before coming, they had speculated that the Blood Claw Tribe Branch might have been overrun by those things, which is why they lost all contact. Initially, the lion humanoid didn't even want to come on this dangerous journey.

But unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise now.

In the whole tribe alliance, or even the entire Kawa Great Forest, apart from a few Beastmen who could forge weapons from some ores, the lion humanoid had never seen metal weapons being mass-produced so simply.

In his memory, it was only once when the lion humanoid accompanied a Beastman army to breach a human town that he saw so many weapons in a storeroom.

"Hiss, those are indeed metal weapons!"

Hearing the lion humanoid say this, all the Beastmen gathered their eyes on the mountain of weapons and armor produced by the Beastmen at the Copper Ore Base.

The tribe alliance's metal weapons mostly came from the spoils of the Human World. In this weathering-the-storm environment, there was no soil for smelting metals to emerge. Most Beastmen still used things like Stone Tools and bone implements.

Initially, when Grom led the team to establish the branch base, to show support, nearly half of the tribe's iron weapons were given to the Blood Claw Tribe Branch, but they didn't expect these iron weapons eventually became the materials for Austin to use electromagnetic cannon and obliterate Grom.

Metal weapons represent rarity and value within the Kawa Great Forest!

In an instant, all the Blood Claw Beastmen present showed a greedy look on their faces.

If they could capture all these Beastmen and take them back to the headquarters as slaves, how much armor and weapons they wanted in the future wouldn't be an issue?!

At this moment,

Dragon Nest Beastmen patrol passed by and saw the lion humanoid and all the Blood Claw Tribe elite Beastmen on the mountain top.

"Hey, where did you come from?"

A huge sound immediately drew the attention of the lion humanoid and others over.

....

The jackal wolf boy Meng Bi always considered himself very lucky,

Initially, to survive, he and his sister escaped the slave camp, trudging through the icy wilderness. Midway, they found a frozen wolf carcass which they survived on for half a month, eventually carrying his sister Aisha to the Dragon Nest Tribe.

Then, their fate changed.

His dying sister was saved; they were taken in by the Dragon Nest Tribe. Under the protection of the great His Highness Austin, they ended the days of wandering and escaping from hunger and cold, living a life they wouldn't have dared to dream of before.

He was very fortunate. How many old, weak, sick Beastmen were expelled every cold winter? In that white icy wilderness, survival was almost ten to one, but he and his sister fortunately found that one in ten thousand chance and survived.

For saving his sister and himself, for this great Dragon Nest Tribe, Meng Bi was very grateful, even willing to lay down his life for Dragon Nest Tribe and His Highness Austin.

This was especially true since half a year ago, when Dragon Nest Tribe was attacked by mercenaries, Meng Bi stood out decisively.

Because he had His Highness Austin behind him, and because of his sister Aisha, the two most important things in his life were behind him, and because of this, he almost lost his life.

But fortunately, he didn't die,

Almost half of his body's bones were shattered, but it exchanged for the awakening of the ancient bloodline, commonly known as ancestral return.

From that day on, Meng Bi's name spread throughout the entire Dragon Nest Tribe due to his bravery, and more so for his ancestral bloodline.

Among Beastmen, there's a saying that every Beastman whose bloodline has undergone ancestral return is a lucky one blessed by the Beast God, and as long as they don't die, they are bound to achieve great power in the future.

Subsequently, Meng Bi, along with other brave warriors from that battle, were personally received and commended by Austin. All the Beastmen present were moved to tears, and Meng Bi was promoted directly to join the elite Dragon Vein Guard and was given the Beastman Three Techniques for training, becoming a talent highly cultivated by Austin.
