I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

At this moment, in the outskirts of the Spotted Deer Tribe, several people had gathered at an inconspicuous small stall. Among them was Hei Ya. He had ordered some grilled dried meat and was sitting in the middle of the stall. Though he was eating, his eyes were observing in all directions, and his ears were alert to every sound.

He was positioned perfectly in the centre, able to receive information from the entire stall, ensuring he missed nothing.

As soon as he entered the stall, a few people caught his attention – it was Ye Jiu and her group.

They had arrived in a hurry, but without carrying any goods. They did not look like they were here to trade. Even if they were done trading, they should still have had some items with them.

Ye Jiu’s grey eyes scanned the surroundings and she coldly said, “After we finish eating, we’ll target a Tribe with fewer people and take some food from them.”

Even while sitting down to eat, she remained highly vigilant, constantly aware of her surroundings. After all, they were just Wanderers and had to be extremely careful.

Hei Ya sensed their alertness. After hearing their words, he naturally acted as if nothing was amiss. He continued to eat his grilled meat, but his ears remained perked up.

“Boss Ye, who, who are we going to rob?” Shan Xiong asked with his mouth full of food.

Shou Ya gave him a look, scanned the surroundings, and cautioned, “We’re outside now. Speak more quietly.”

Ye Jiu once again vigilantly looked around and lowered her voice, “After we finish eating, we’ll circle the market and target Tribes with fewer people.”

“Are we going to rob them on the spot? Isn’t that too conspicuous?” Shan Xiong’s eyes widened.

Ye Jiu covered her face with one hand and helplessly said, “We’ll follow them secretly for now, and make our move after they leave the market.”

“I see,” Shan Xiong nodded heavily.

“Keep an eye out specifically on Tribes without many Totem Warriors,” Ye Jiu gravely said.

“I think we should split up to search, then act together once we find a suitable target,” Shou Ya suggested.

Ye Jiu blinked her grey eyes and calmly said, “We’ll do as you say later. Don’t be rash.”

“Yes.” The two firmly nodded.

Shou Ya took a big bite of dried meat and then asked, “Boss Ye, do you know about the Flame Dragon Tribe?”

Hei Ya’s body suddenly trembled, his eyes darting left and right. His eating slowed down as he began to listen intently to their conversation.

“I’ve heard some things. Weren’t they the ones destroyed by the Black Snake Tribe?” Ye Jiu blinked her grey eyes.

“Yes, but I heard that Tribe still has a Shaman,” Shou Ya solemnly said.

“…” Shan Xiong continued eating, occasionally looking around.

Ye Jiu brushed her scattered grey hair behind her, rested one hand on the table, and asked, “Do you have any thoughts?”

Shou Ya leaned in and said cautiously, “Actually, we could try to find the Flame Dragon Tribe. Maybe they’d be willing to take us in?”

A glimmer flashed in Ye Jiu’s grey eyes as she asked, “Do you know where the Flame Dragon Tribe’s people are?”

“I don’t know, I’ve only heard rumours. Last night, you mentioned three options. After thinking it over, I feel this might be the best approach,” Shou Ya said earnestly.

“But you need to remember, we have two hundred people right now. It’s not just the three of us,” Shan Xiong suddenly added.

Ye Jiu thought seriously for a moment, then looked up and said, “This isn’t a bad idea, but we might need a different approach.”

“Boss Ye, what approach?” Shou Ya and Shan Xiong asked in unison.

At this point, Hei Ya on the other side was also very curious. He had stopped eating and was listening intently to their conversation. His only thought was to remember every word without missing anything, so he could report back to the Shaman.

“We could cooperate with the Flame Dragon Tribe people. That way, they might be willing to accept us,” Ye Jiu explained.

“Cooperate? Can you explain in more detail, Boss Ye?” Shou Ya looked confused.

“Yeah, are you suggesting we go hunting for them and become their slaves?” Shan Xiong was clearly unwilling.

Ye Jiu rolled her eyes and explained, “When did I say anything about becoming slaves? I wouldn’t agree to that either. What I mean is to work with the Flame Dragon Tribe to deal with the Black Snake Tribe.”

“Deal with the Black Snake Tribe together?”

Shan Xiong could not believe his ears and asked again, “Boss Ye, are you serious?”

“Yes. This is the only way for the other Tribe members to accept us. After all, the Black Snake Tribe truly deserves to die,” Ye Jiu said in disgust.

“But Boss Ye, you know how strong the Black Snake Tribe is. Nobody knows how many Totem Warriors the Flame Dragon Tribe has now,” Shan Xiong showed a moment of insight.

“I know this, so we need to first see and judge the Flame Dragon Tribe’s strength. If they’re still too weak, we’ll have to make other plans,” Ye Jiu calmly stated.

Shou Ya frowned and asked, “Boss Ye, what if they are too weak?”

“Do you even need to ask? Of course, we’ll take their Shaman and establish our own Tribe” Shan Xiong crudely stated.

“En. Shan Xiong is right. Whether they’re strong or not, either option is not bad for us,” Ye Jiu nodded.

“Good. Let’s eat quickly. Afterwards, we’ll look around the market and see if we can gather any information about the Flame Dragon Tribe,” Shou Ya showed his big front teeth.

Ye Jiu scanned the surroundings and cautioned, “Be very careful later. Don’t draw too much attention.”

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

Hei Ya stuffed all the remaining dried meat on the table into his mouth and immediately left, wanting to quickly report this to the Shaman.
