Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 525: Chapter 516: The Great Chief 34

Actually, the person least adapted to this cold season is Shuangshuang, because during past cold seasons, Shuangshuang was always sandwiched between her Father Tieh and Ah Ma Grass while sleeping. The warmth from the two people, along with many beast skins over them early, made Shuangshuang not feel too much hardship.

This year, Shuangshuang’s health improved, so she naturally felt embarrassed to lie between her parents while sleeping. Tie He and Cao have a very good relationship and like to get together intimately whenever they have nothing to do.

In the past, Shuangshuang was physically weak, so being a third wheel was excusable, but now that her health has improved, Shuangshuang really feels embarrassed to continue being a third wheel, preventing her Father and Mother from having the opportunity to be intimate together.

After warming themselves by the fire for a while, the cave stayed bright as always due to the Bright Light Seeds. Besides, the cave entrance was blocked, so they couldn’t tell the time. Just feeling hungry, they decided to eat immediately. Anyway, the tribe is not short on food now, and ten meals a day wouldn’t be an issue.

During this cold season, the tribe members have been eating their fill daily, doing some training in the cave that doesn’t require much space, and falling asleep when tired. Upon waking, they continue eating, drinking, and training. The charcoal fire in the cave keeps burning, warming the entire cave.

This year, everyone had a very comfortable cold season with plenty of food, not worrying about anyone leaving because of sickness due to the cold, nor worrying that the few remaining children would be taken away by the harsh cold season.

During such comfort, the cold season passed halfway in the blink of an eye. No one got sick, not even a sneeze.

Unlike usual, when halfway through the cold season, people of the Power Tribe would be emaciated like a bag of bones, shivering in stacks of beast skin. Now, thanks to the cold season’s cocooning effect, they have become chubby.

No, perhaps chubby isn’t the right term; saying they became robust fits better. Although they gained weight, none of them have excess fat, instead they all have strong muscles. Watching the increasingly robust tribe members, Ben and Yu wear content smiles daily.

Just when Shuangshuang thought the cold season would pass so smoothly, unexpected visitors came from the Lanshan Tribe, which was closest to the Power Tribe.

The Lanshan Tribe and Power Tribe have had old ties. When the Power Tribe was prosperous, the Lanshan Tribe befriended them and the two tribes often intermarried. Even when the Power Tribe declined, Lanshan Tribe maintained good relations.

The tribes’ longstanding intermarriage meant Shuangshuang’s Ah Ma Grass came from the Lanshan Tribe, which has over three hundred individuals, qualifying it as a medium-sized tribe with self-protection capabilities.

Every year when the Power Tribe had trouble during cold and hot seasons, they would go to the Lanshan Tribe for some food help. Without the Lanshan Tribe, the Power Tribe might have long been wiped out by natural laws.

This year, the Power Tribe never lacked food. Due to the intermarriage, most of the women were from the Lanshan Tribe. Being well-fed, they naturally wanted to send things to their parents in the Lanshan Tribe.

Ben and Yu, who held the authority on food usage, both agreed to this. Ben’s Ah Ma also came from Lanshan Tribe. Yu was different; Yu’s Ah Ma Yun was the previous Witch of the Power Tribe. Later, she favored the Lanshan Tribe’s Witch Zhi, and they had Yu together.

Yu’s Ah Ma Yun wasn’t physically well, with weak witch power, but Zhi was a powerful witch, so their child Yu had strong witch talent. When Yu could assume the witch position, Yun followed Zhi to live in Lanshan Tribe.

The main reason was Yun’s poor physical condition. During annual cold and hot seasons, people died regularly in Power Tribe, barely able to eat half full. Zhi worried about Yun’s health, later bringing her along to his tribe once Yu could stand on his own.

Though not a Great Tribe, Lanshan Tribe, with over three hundred people, had much better security and combat power than Power Tribe.

The Lanshan Tribe ate better than Power Tribe, with more warriors and a stronger Hunting Team. A strong Hunting Team caught more prey, meaning more food. People of this era were often weak due to hunger; being well-fed naturally led to better health.

Considering these facts, Yu’s parents were in Lanshan Tribe. Speaking of sending things to Lanshan Tribe, Yu was the happiest and naturally wouldn’t refuse.

As for the other person with say, Shuangshuang, jokingly, her Ah Ma Grass was from Lanshan Tribe. It’s said Grass’s parents were still alive, and Grass had two very caring brothers, one called Jian the eldest, the other called Shen the second.

Shuangshuang often heard Ah Ma Grass talk about her two brothers, who allegedly are warriors and reported as the strongest warrior is Grass’s eldest brother Jian. Initially, Father Tieh managed to marry Grass because Tieh was once the strongest warrior in Power Tribe aside from Ben.

Which means Lanshan Tribe also had Shuangshuang’s maternal grandparents plus two uncles. With such relations, she could support the Lanshan Tribe entirely, let alone give some things, naturally not being stingy.

However, maybe Shuangshuang spoke a little ominously. She just mentioned supporting Lanshan Tribe’s people, and then Lanshan Tribe’s people came unexpectedly, seeking help! Shuangshuang’s words seemed to become prophecy, really needing to support Lanshan Tribe’s people.

The Lanshan Tribe’s people arrived one morning when the chill wind was fierce. Then, tribe members heard intense knocking at the large stone blocking the cave. At first, they thought a wild beast was at the door, considering the Earth King Beast outside. What beast would be so reckless as to come near?

Then, with curiosity, bored tribe members wrapped in layers of beast skin, with frozen red noses, ran to the cave opening to peer outside. They saw under the Earth King Beast’s feet a person, covered in beast skin, darting like a flea dodging the Earth King Beast’s pursuit while occasionally kicking the stone blocking the cave entrance.

Everyone could see the Earth King Beast was treating the person like a toy, letting the person bounce for a while. Otherwise, the person would’ve been stomped to mush in an instant!

Upon recognizing who it was, the tribe members who had come to check were nearly scared out of their wits! Then grateful, relieved that the Earth King Beast treated the person as a toy. Otherwise, how would they deal with it if the Earth King Beast stomped the person into mush?

Because the person was exactly someone from the Lanshan Tribe and someone they knew. Coincidentally, it was Shuangshuang’s Ah Ma Grass’s eldest brother Jian! Also, Shuangshuang’s eldest uncle!

Upon seeing a familiar face, tribe members hurriedly moved the stone. Meanwhile, some who had a closer rapport with the Earth King Beast ran out, shouting at the Earth King Beast not to stomp the person to death, while the others urgently pulled Jian into the cave.
