I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Su Bai’s fingers lightly tapped the table, his black eyes looking directly at the wolf eared girl, as he instructed, “I want you to go and monitor the Black Snake Tribe, and relay any intelligence you can gather back to us.”

Ye Jiu was slightly stunned, not expecting this mission. After regaining her composure, she responded, “Yes!”

Su Bai nodded and advised, “This mission is not that simple. You must conceal your whereabouts well and not be discovered by them.”

“Shaman, am I going to go alone?” Ye Jiu wanted to know if she would have any companions.

“If you want, you can choose someone to go with you, or you can go alone. It is up to you.” Su Bai deferred it to her preference.

Naturally, the fewer the number of people, the better it would be for monitoring the Black Snake Tribe. However, they would need to be skilled and adaptable to the situation.

“I can go alone, but it would be better if I could bring one more person,” Ye Jiu stood up straight and continued, “The second person would be able to help me relay intelligence to you, while I continue to keep an eye on Black Snake Tribe.”

“Correct. Who do you want to take with you? Hei Ya? Or Mai Mang?” Su Bai asked.

“Shaman, I’d like to take Bai Si with me. We’ve been together for a long time and I can fully put my faith in her.” Ye Jiu requested.

Bai Si and the wolf eared girl were from the same Tribe. She was a girl with monkey ears, also a Totem Warrior, and was quite skilled.

Su Bai raised his eyebrows and nodded without hesitation, “No problem. You can take her with you.”

“Yes, thank you, Shaman.” Ye Jiu bowed her head in gratitude.

“Be very careful when out on this monitoring mission. Don’t let them discover you. Have Bai Si report back immediately with any intelligence.” Su Bai advised again.

“Understood, we will hide ourselves well.” Ye Jiu immediately responded.

The wolf eared girl was known for her agility and lightness, making her the ideal choice for monitoring the Black Snake Tribe.

Su Bai nodded with satisfaction and added, “Go rest now. You haven’t had a proper rest since, have you?”

“Thank you, Shaman. These are minor issues.” Ye Jiu felt warmth in her heart again.

“Rest well and set out tomorrow. I’ll give you Shaman Bone Tablets. Don’t be reluctant to use them,” Su Bai had the fox eared girl take out Shaman Bone Tablets from the box and continued, “When you run out, have Bai Si come back for more. Of course, it’s better if you don’t need to use them.”

He still hoped that the wolf eared girl and her companion would not encounter any trouble. The Tribe currently had too few talents to lose. Losing anyone would be a major hit on the Tribe, and the wolf eared girl’ strength was indeed impressive.

Ye Jiu received a bag of Shaman Bone Tablets, opened it for a look, and her grey eyes immediately widened. She doubted if her eyes were deceiving her. After confirming again, and again, she asked. “Shaman, isn’t this too many Shaman Bone Tablets?”

The Animal Hide Bag contained a total of eight Shaman Bone Tablets, four Healing Shaman Bone Tablets and four Blessing Shaman Bone Tablets.

“There are two of you, and you’ll be gone for quite a while. Two of each type per person. That isn’t too much.” Su Bai explained.

Ye Jiu began to have a different impression of Su Bai. At first, she only thought of him as a young Shaman, not knowing much else about him. But since entering this Tribe, most of the over two hundred people from their group had been assigned work. They were not treated coldly by the Flame Dragon Tribe people for being from somewhere else. The children could even learn how to read and write, and the young adults could train. Their Totem Warriors were also assigned jobs.

Without the Shaman’s arrangements, the Flame Dragon Tribe people would most likely not have done this. Not being driven away was already good enough. This was truly a blessing for her and her people.

Ye Jiu hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to ask, “Shaman, why do you trust me so much?”

“You’re worthy of trust, and you chose to join our Tribe. Now that you’re part of the Flame Dragon Tribe, what’s there not to trust you about?” Su Bai deliberately paused, then continued, “Then, let me ask you this instead. Why shouldn’t I trust a member of our Tribe?”

Ye Jiu was momentarily at a loss for words. She nodded heavily and said earnestly, “Shaman, I will definitely complete this mission.”

“Good, go and rest.” Su Bai said with a slight smile.

“Yes.” Ye Jiu gave a soft but firm response and turned to leave the Teepee.

Cang Shi watched the wolf eared girl leave, then turned back, shocked. “Shaman, did I hear that correctly just now?”

“Hmm?” Su Bai raised one eyebrow.

“Shaman, I’m talking about monitoring the Black Snake Tribe.” Cang Shi was still processing it.

“Did I look like I was joking just now?” Su Bai asked in return.

Cang Shi shook his head repeatedly, suppressing his excitement, and curiously asked, “Shaman, do you have a plan to deal with the Black Snake Tribe? Is that why you’re sending Ye Jiu to monitor them?”

Su Bai shrugged and explained, “Not yet. We need to know about their situation first, don’t we?”

“Right. We should have someone watch over them. Who knows what those guys might do next,” Cang Shi nodded vigorously.

“We’ll find a way to deal with the Black Snake Tribe. Don’t be in such a hurry,” Su Bai calmly stated.

Cang Shi blinked his purple eyes and solemnly asked, “But Shaman, isn’t it a bit risky to give her so many Shaman Bone Tablets at once?”

Su Bai took a sip of water, lifted his eyelids, and said. “You’ll understand soon enough. She’s just not the kind of person you need to be worried about.”

“But Shaman, I think among the people going to monitor the Black Snake Tribe, there should be at least one of our own people, right?” Cang Shi worried.

“I’ve thought about that too, but the other Totem Warriors in our Tribe might rashly act out, and expose themselves. Su Bai put down his stone cup and continued, “This is the kind of mission that requires a calm and steady person to execute.”

This mission to monitor the Black Snake Tribe was extremely important. It was related to whether they could reclaim the Tribal Ancestral Land and defeat the enemy. He had originally thought of sending someone from the Tribe with her, but all suitable candidates had other assignments.

As for the remaining people, he feared they might be blinded by hatred, causing the mission to fail and exposing their current whereabouts. If that happens, it would cause more trouble than anything.

“I see…” Cang Shi said, suddenly understanding.

“We cannot afford to fail this mission. Also, don’t tell others about Ye Jiu going to monitor the Black Snake Tribe.” Su Bai advised.

“I understand,” Cang Shi responded without hesitation.
