I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

“Here, these are the ten pieces of dried meat we’ve promised you,” Da Gua handed over the dried meat.

The stall owner grinned, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and cheerfully said, “Hehe… take the stone, quickly.”

Da Gua rolled his eyes and muttered, “You even dislike this stone yourself, yet you have the nerve to trade it off.”

“I don’t dislike it, I just can’t bear to part with it.” The stall owner did not even look at Da Gua. He was just staring intently at the dried meat in his hands.

“Yeah, it really sounds like the truth.” Da Gua shook his head and left.

As soon as Da Gua turned to leave, Ye Jiu and her group eagerly approached the stall owner.

The stall owner quickly hid the dried meat behind his back and asked nervously, “What do you want? You’re not going to rob my dried meat, are you? This is the Spotted Deer Tribe. Rob if you don’t value your lives.”

Ye Jiu pursed her lips, looking disdainful, “We’re not here to rob your dried meat. I want to ask about the people who were just here. Which Tribe are they from?”

“Yeah, they’re so generous, using ten pieces of dried meat to exchange for your worthless stone. Is there something wrong with their heads?” Shou Ya chimed in.

“I don’t know which Tribe they’re from either. I only know I got this stone in an exchange, and there’s nothing wrong with me using it to exchange for dried meat. Why do you look so disgusted?” The stall owner said scornfully.

“Oh? Then why did you look so relieved when you made the exchange just now?” Shou Ya retorted.

“That’s none of your business. If you don’t want to trade, go away. Don’t block my stall. Just get lost.” The stall owner waved his hands, trying to shoo them away.

Ye Jiu stood up, narrowing her eyes as she watched Da Gua’s retreating figure, and murmured, “Let’s follow him.”

“Boss Ye, are we going to rob them?” Shou Ya asked in a low voice.

“They exchanged a stone for ten pieces of dried meat and left. They clearly must have a lot of dried meat. Let’s follow them to check.” Ye Jiu speculated.

Shan Xiong nodded heavily and said, “The Boss Ye is right, they are a really fat piece of meat.”

*Tap tap tap…*

Ye Jiu and her group quietly followed behind Da Gua, occasionally pretending to look at items on other stalls to cover up their tracking.

When Hei Ya returned to Su Bai and the others, Ye Jiu and her group saw the bundles of dried meat, and their mouths were watering.

“Boss Ye, look! They have so much dried meat! And, there aren’t many of them!” Shan Xiong said excitedly.

“It looks like there are only five Totem Warriors. The other two look very weak and should be easy to deal with,” Shou Ya added.

Ye Jiu blinked her grey eyes and softly said, “Let’s follow them first and see if there really are only this many of them.”

“Yes.” Shou Ya and Shan Xiong immediately responded.

*Creak!*

After leaving the Spotted Deer Tribe, Su Bai and his group returned through the dense forest the way they came.

Yan Jiao stayed close to Su Bai, his red eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings. He said nervously, “We just finished trading, we need to be even more alert.”

Da Gua and Wa Ming were tightly carrying the newly exchanged dried meat, materials needed for Shaman Bone Tablets, and other items. They dared not relax.

Yan Hua was the same, her face was without a trace of expression. The lively appearance she had in the Tribe was nowhere to be seen. All of it was replaced by vigilance.

Hei Ya was at the back of the group, mainly watching to see if anyone was following them. After all, having traded for so much dried meat, it was inevitable that others would covet it.

Seeing everyone so tense, Su Bai spoke up, “Don’t be so tense. It’s easy to get tired that way, which might give others an opportunity. Let’s rest for a bit.”

“Yes.” Yan Jiao felt a bit tired too, with beads of sweat all over his back.

Da Gua and Wa Ming were even more exhausted. They had been carrying such heavy loads ever since leaving the Spotted Deer Tribe. Although it wasn’t much for Totem Warriors, having to be aware of their surroundings at the same time was tiring.

*Thud! Thud! Thud…*

The dried meat and other exchanged items were all placed on the ground.

“You all rest here for a while. I’ll go pick some berries and look for water nearby,” Hei Ya said.

“Sure, be careful not to stray too far out,” Su Bai cautioned.

Hei Ya patted his animal skin bag, showing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and smiled, “Don’t worry. With your Shaman Bone Tablet, everything will be fine.”

“Go and quickly come back,” Su Bai was already secretly thinking about making more when they returned.

He had not expected a single Shaman Bone Tablet would inspire so much courage in them.

This time, they had exchanged for quite a few raw materials for making Shaman Bone Tablets from the Spotted Deer Tribe. It was not just limited to Shaman Bone Tablets for Healing Shaman Techniques, but also materials for the other two types of Shaman Bone Tablets.

“Yes.” Hei Ya nodded and turned to run into the depths of the forest.

“Ah’Hua, stay next to Su Bai and don’t move.” Yan Jiao instructed. As for him, he kept patrolling in circles around the area.

“Yes, Father.” Yan Hua nodded.

Su Bai found their nervousness both amusing and reassuring. He said, “Sit down first. I haven’t sensed anyone approaching, so it’s safe.”

“Oh right, you can sense the surroundings. I forgot…” Yan Jiao sighed in relief.

Mai Mang took out an animal skin water bag and handed it over, saying, “Chieftain, drink some water, quickly.”

Yan Jiao had just taken the water bag when he immediately passed it to Su Bai, saying, “You should drink first.”

“I’ve already drunk. You drink. When Hei Ya returns, we’ll rest a bit and then continue on our way. This place isn’t suitable for sleeping,” Su Bai softly stated.

This territory still belonged to the Spotted Deer Tribe. Having just exchanged so many items, it was hard to guarantee others wouldn’t be tempted to steal from them. It was safer to get far away from here.

“Yes.” Yan Jiao immediately responded.

*Tap tap tap…*

Twenty minutes later, Hei Ya returned with a large leaf full of berries and animal skin bags filled with water.

“Everyone rest for a while. We’ll set off after eating,” Su Bai said calmly.

“Yes.” Hei Ya had already stuffed several berries into his mouth.

Half an hour later, Su Bai and the others had rested and reorganised. They shouldered the dried meat and set off again, aiming to find a suitable place to sleep before nightfall.
