Snake People Tribe's Intelligence

The Wind Wolf knelt respectfully before Lin Feng, pledging his loyalty with earnest words.

Lin Feng's thoughts, however, were entirely immersed in the system.

Hidden race?

What was that?

He entered the system and carefully read its introduction, finally understanding what was going on.

In short, from now on, when new players enter the game and choose the Strength Class during character creation, there would be a certain chance to trigger the Jackalmen race.

The system did not explicitly state the probability.

Jackalmen belonged to the Strength Class, and could only be triggered if a player chose the Strength Class; other classes would not trigger it.

After triggering, players could choose whether to continue with the Human Race or select Jackalmen.

The initial attributes and growth attributes of Jackalmen were different from ordinary Strength Class players.

Ordinary Strength Class players had an initial Strength value of 7, with Agility, Constitution, and Intelligence all at 5.

For growth attributes, Strength increased by +2 per level, while the other three attributes increased by +1.

Overall, their Strength was prominent, and their overall attributes were also very balanced.

Then, looking at the Jackalmen.

The Jackalmen's initial attributes were Strength 9, Agility 5, Constitution 5, and Intelligence 2.

Their initial total attributes were 1 point lower than humans, but their Strength was prominent.

For growth attributes, Strength increased by +2.2 per level, Agility by +1.1, Constitution by +1, and Intelligence by +0.5.

In the long run, their Strength and Agility would be slightly higher than humans, while their Intelligence would be slightly inferior.

Of course, if one chose Jackalmen, Intelligence attributes wouldn't be very useful anyway.

Lin Feng didn't know how players would view this hidden profession, but if it were him, he definitely wouldn't choose it.

The biggest reason was that they were too ugly.

Sacrificing looks for a bit more Strength wasn't worth it.

He wouldn't be able to find a CP in the game later, unless he was lucky and met someone with peculiar tastes.

Of course, opening up such a hidden profession was good for enriching the game content.

Anyway, players could choose for themselves; if they didn't like it, they could just continue choosing the Human Race.

Some more curious players might actually like this profession.

Moreover, since subduing Jackalmen activated the hidden Jackalmen race, if he subdued other races in the future, would he be able to activate other hidden races?

Although the game was called Human Race Rising, having only the Human Race as an option was indeed a bit monotonous.

Allowing players more choices was also good.

Lin Feng withdrew from the system and only then realized that the Wind Wolf was still kneeling on the ground.

"Get up."

Lin Feng said.

"Yes, thank you, Master!"

The Wind Wolf stood up respectfully, a fawning expression on his face.

"Since you have submitted, you are now a member of our Tribe. From now on, address me as Tribe Leader."

Lin Feng said.

He felt a bit unaccustomed to being called Master.

He wasn't a maid-outfit-wearing young lady.

"Yes, Tribe Leader!"

The Wind Wolf said joyfully.

Lin Feng acknowledging him as a member of the Tribe naturally made him happy.

At least his life was saved.

"By the way, where did you migrate from?"

Lin Feng suddenly remembered this question.

There were no Jackalmen on the eastern part of the island before.

"The southern part of the island."

The Wind Wolf answered honestly.

"The southern part of the island? The Snake People Tribe's territory?"

Lin Feng asked.

He had a general understanding of the situation on Fangzhang Island.

Of course, his understanding came from what he heard from the old Tribe Leader, so it might not be accurate.

According to the old Tribe Leader, the most powerful race on the island was the Four-Armed Giant Tribe, which occupied the central region of the island.

The Four-Armed Giant Tribe was a branch of the giant race. Although their numbers were not large, their individual strength was immense, and they had always been the overlords of Fangzhang Island.

They were the only T1-level race on Fangzhang Island.

However, he had lived on the island for three years and had never seen them.

Below the Four-Armed Giant Tribe were four T2-level races.

The Red Feather Tribe occupied the eastern part of the island, the Guan Tribe occupied the western part, the Snake People Tribe occupied the southern part, and the Minotaurs occupied the northern part.

Each of the four races occupied their own territory, but each race had to pay tribute to the Four-Armed Giant Tribe in the central region, otherwise, they could not survive on the island.

Of these four races, he had only seen the Red Feather Tribe.

That was when he had just arrived in this world and was still living in the Baimu Tribe. A member of the Red Feather Tribe visited the Baimu Tribe, and he caught a glimpse of them from afar.

The Red Feather Tribe's physique was similar to that of the Human Race, and they also had four limbs. However, their heads were bird-like.

Their bodies were covered in red feathers, but they had no wings and could not fly.

He had never seen the other three T2-level races.

The T3 level consisted of tribes and races protected by the four major races, such as the Baimu Tribe.

These races and tribes varied in strength, but because they had powerful protectors, no one usually dared to provoke them.

At the very bottom were tribes like the Ying Clan Tribe, where he had previously belonged, and the Wood Race tribe that was annihilated by the Jackalmen.

They were inherently weak and lacked powerful protectors. If they were wiped out one day, no one would care or notice.

"Yes, that's Snake People Tribe territory."

Mentioning the Snake People Tribe, a trace of unconcealed fear flashed in Wind Wolf's eyes.

And hatred.

"Why did you migrate to the east?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

Generally speaking, a tribe wouldn't undertake a long-distance migration without facing survival issues.

"Because of the Snake People Tribe!"

Wind Wolf gritted his teeth and said.

"The Snake People Tribe demanded that all races in the southern part of the island submit to them and accept their direct orders! Those who refused to submit were exterminated by the Snake People Tribe. We couldn't defeat the Snake People Tribe, and we were unwilling to submit to them, so we had to migrate here."

"Our tribe originally had over two hundred people and was considered a large tribe in the southern part of the island. But under the pursuit of the Snake People Tribe, only a few dozen of us managed to escape here."

Wind Wolf said dejectedly.

His family had died on the road during the escape, killed by the Snake People Tribe.

Hearing this, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

"Why would the Snake People Tribe do this?"

He asked, puzzled.

Generally, powerful races would demand tribute from nearby races, but rarely would they demand complete submission.

Just like the Red Feather Tribe and the Baimu Tribe; the Red Feather Tribe protected the Baimu Tribe, and the Baimu Tribe paid tribute to the Red Feather Tribe, but the Red Feather Tribe did not demand complete submission from the Baimu Tribe.

There was no need for it.

"You don't know?"

Wind Wolf looked at Lin Feng in surprise.

Wasn't this common knowledge on Fangzhang Island?

"Spit it out if you have something to say!"

Lin Feng glared at him.

If I knew, why would I ask you?

"Yes, yes!"

Wind Wolf flinched and continued, "The Snake People Tribe is consolidating all the tribes in the southern part of the island because they are preparing to go to war with the Four-Armed Giant Tribe and replace them as the overlords."

"What!"

Lin Feng was shocked.

This was somewhat different from what he had heard from the old Tribe Leader.

According to the old Tribe Leader, the Four-Armed Giant Tribe was the absolute overlord of Fangzhang Island, and no one dared to provoke them.

"How dare the Snake People Tribe challenge the Four-Armed Giant Tribe?"

He asked in surprise.

"For some reason over the years, Snake People have been continuously fleeing from the Barbaric Continent across the sea to our Fangzhang Island. Sometimes hundreds, sometimes dozens. All these fleeing Snake People have been incorporated into the Snake People Tribe's tribes in the southern part of the island."

"Therefore, the Snake People Tribe's strength has rapidly expanded, and it's said that their adult members already exceed three thousand!"

"Since the beginning of the year, they have stopped paying tribute to the Four-Armed Giant Tribe. Perhaps wary of the Snake People Tribe's strength, the Four-Armed Giant Tribe took no action and simply let it be."

"The Four-Armed Giant Tribe's silence has made the Snake People Tribe even more brazen. Over a month ago, they issued an ultimatum to all the tribes on the southern part of the island: either submit, or be annihilated!"

"We Jackalmen were chased all the way here because we refused to submit to them. I believe that after they conquer all the tribes on the southern part of the island, if the Four-Armed Giant Tribe still doesn't intervene, they will likely continue to attack the eastern and western parts of the island."

As Wind Wolf spoke, he stealthily observed Lin Feng's expression.

If the Snake People Tribe really invades the eastern part of the island, this tribe won't be able to escape either!

After hearing Wind Wolf's account, Lin Feng's expression grew solemn.

If the situation is truly as Wind Wolf described, and after unifying the southern part of the island the Snake People Tribe begins to attack the eastern and western parts, their Starry Tribe will also face the threat of the Snake People Tribe!

This made him feel a sense of urgency.

He must quickly improve the tribe's strength before the Snake People Tribe invades, so they can have a fighting chance when facing them.

Of course, if the Four-Armed Giant Tribe suppresses the Snake People Tribe, that would be the best outcome.

He could then continue to develop peacefully.

But from Wind Wolf's account, the Four-Armed Giant Tribe doesn't seem very reliable. He cannot place his hopes on others.

Improving one's own strength is the ultimate path.

The simplest and most effective way to improve the tribe's strength is naturally to increase the Players' levels and numbers.

And to increase the Players' levels and numbers, he needs to start with the Jackalmen Tribe.

After annihilating the Jackalmen Tribe, the Illusion Realm system will be unlocked. With the Illusion Realm system, the Players' leveling speed will naturally increase.

Similarly, by eliminating the Jackalmen Tribe, the Players' activity range will increase, and the system will likely increase the Player slots.

He will then be able to recruit more Players into the game.

Therefore, he must annihilate the Jackalmen Tribe as soon as possible!

Lin Feng's gaze became resolute.

The Players who died today will only be able to revive tomorrow morning.

So, he decided to set the attack on the Jackalmen Tribe for tomorrow afternoon!

Himself plus thirty Players against thirty-seven Jackalmen, the odds of winning are very high.

The only variable is the strength of the Jackalmen leader.

"How strong is your leader?"

Lin Feng asked Wind Wolf.

"Leader? You mean our Tribe Leader, right? The Tribe Leader's strength is naturally the strongest among us."

Wind Wolf replied.

Although he had already defected, he still spoke of his Tribe Leader with reverence.

"Stronger than that Bear Hunter?"

Lin Feng asked.

"Naturally stronger than the Bear Hunter, but I can't say by how much."

Wind Wolf scratched his head.

Lin Feng nodded, understanding.

Strength and weakness are indeed difficult to judge, especially since they aren't Players with levels as a reference.

Despite the variable of the Jackalmen leader, Lin Feng still decided to proceed with the plan to attack the Jackalmen Tribe.

After all, he could afford to lose.

Even if the Jackalmen leader was powerful, and even if the Jackalmen ultimately won, it would certainly be a pyrrhic victory, with no more than ten Jackalmen surviving.

After all, his Players were not afraid of death and could fight until their last drop of blood.

As long as he himself didn't die, he could launch another wave after twenty-four hours when the Players revived.

With two consecutive waves, he didn't believe they still couldn't take down the Jackalmen's crystal!

That evening, the Players logged off one after another.

Lin Feng did not let Wind Wolf enter the inner valley, but instead had him guard the outer valley.

Firstly, he didn't want Wind Wolf to discover the secret of the Players logging off. Secondly, it was also a test of whether he was truly loyal.

If he wasn't truly loyal, he would probably escape under the cover of night tonight.

But it didn't matter.

Since he was going to attack the Jackalmen Tribe tomorrow, he could just capture him again then and kill him directly.

With everything arranged, it was already past 8 PM. Lin Feng accessed the game official website through the system.

Since he was going to attack the Jackalmen Tribe tomorrow, he planned to first post an event preview on the official website to prepare the Players.

By the way, I'll update the information about the Snake People Tribe that I got from the Wind Wolf today, so that Players can get to know this future opponent.

Upon entering the official website, Lin Feng was surprised to find that there were many new posts on the official website's forum.

Several had just been published.

He entered the forum section with interest and took a look.

There were posts asking for closed beta activation codes and others questioning whether the game actually existed. Lin Feng skipped these uninspired posts directly.

Until he saw a relatively normal title.

"A Brief Discussion on the Strength of Players in the Four Elements within the Game."

The author was a Ranger, and it had been published less than an hour ago.

Are these guys so bored? They just logged out of the game not long ago and are already here posting on the forum.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Players logged out of the game around 7 AM on Blue Star. After a whole night of deep sleep, they naturally wouldn't need to sleep anymore.

If they didn't have to work, there really wasn't much to do so early in the morning, so posting on the forum to pass the time was normal.

Lin Feng clicked into the Ranger's post.
