Su Bai immediately heard these subtle movements and quickly turned his head, shouting, “Who’s there!?”

Yan Hua was a bit slow to react, turning her head and asked in confusion, “Shaman, what’s wrong?”

Su Bai narrowed his black eyes, instinctively shielding the cow horned girl behind him. He ordered the Totem Warriors to go check the front.

However, before the Totem Warriors could get there, a figure slowly emerged from the depths of the forest.

As the flickering firelight illuminated the figure, their form was gradually revealed. It was Sha Hong.

Yan Hua was stunned, her red eyes widening in surprise, unable to speak for a moment.

Seeing the cow horned girl’s expression, Su Bai was able to guess that this middle-aged woman standing in front of them must be someone familiar.

The other Totem Warriors were also stunned, too surprised to speak.

“Sha Hong? You’re still alive?” Yue was the first to speak, quickly walking to the front of the woman.

Sha Hong tucked all her blue short hair behind her ears, also excited, “It really you. All of you.”

She had just arrived near the Black Snake Tribe not long ago. She was intending to check up on what was happening. However, before she got too close, she sensed many people ahead, so she stopped to see what was happening.

Not much time had passed when she saw the sky filled with firelight and heard screams.

For safety reasons, she chose to not get too close, and just watched from afar. Only when the screams gradually ceased did she slowly approach. In fact, she had just gotten a bit closer when she got discovered.

If she had not heard Yan Hua’s familiar voice, she would not have recklessly come out, especially with a strange man nearby.

“Yes, it’s me. How did you all end up here?” Sha Hong asked in surprise.

“We attacked the Black Snake Tribe under the Shaman’s leadership, and we’ve defeated them!” Yue excitedly said.

It was worth noting that not long ago, she and some people from the Tribe were wandering outside, unable to eat their fill every day, constantly worried about Ferocious Beasts. Now, not only were they well-fed, but they had also reclaimed their Ancestral Land under the Shaman’s leadership! It all seemed too surreal.

“Where is the Shaman? I haven’t seen the Shaman in so long,” Sha Hong felt nostalgic at the mention of the Shaman.

“Aunt Sha Hong, I’m so glad you’re okay. I thought something had happened to you!” Yan Hua rushed forward to hug her.

The cow horned girl and Sha Lan were very good friends, so naturally, her relationship with Sha Hong was also good.

It was just that when the Tribe was attacked by the Black Snake Tribe, there had been no news of Sha Hong and Sha Lan. The cow horned girl had thought they were gone for good. It had been a weight in her heart for so long. Now, seeing Sha Hong standing before her, she was naturally excited.

Sha Hong rubbed the cow horned girl’s head, smiling, “Ah’Hua has grown even prettier. Sha Lan misses you too.”

Yan Hua’s red eyes immediately filled with tears, speaking incoherently, “Sha… Sha Lan… is she okay?”

“She’s fine. You’ll see her soon. First, you’d take me to see the Shaman.” Sha Hong said gently.

The way she spoke to the cow horned girl was unlike her usual self. Normally, she spoke directly and bluntly, never beating around the bush. She was pretty much like a straightforward northeastern woman from Earth.

Yan Hua wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned her head, “The Old Shaman has passed on. He is our new Shaman.”

Su Bai looked at Sha Lan with solemn eyes. He could sense that she was by no means weak, [At least a Peak Early-Stage Totem Warrior…]

Sha Hong also stared blankly at him, unable to react for a moment, having trouble accepting the news of the Old Shaman’s passing.

After composing herself for a while, she asked, “You are our Tribe’s new Shaman?”

Su Bai nodded without saying anything, his black eyes looking the woman up and down. At this moment, it was better to say nothing.

“It was the Shaman who led us to reclaim our Ancestral Land. Our Tribe’s life has greatly improved under his leadership.” Yan Hua hurriedly explained.

Sha Hong did not say anything more, just slowly nodded, her blue eyes slightly narrowed.

“Aunt Sha Hong, where is Sha Lan now? Did she come with you?” Yan Hua was already impatient to see her.

“No, she’s a bit far from here. I intended to come and see if there were any of our previous Tribesmen around, and then I saw you all.” Sha Hong explained.

Yan Hua was a little disappointed, having thought she could see her immediately, “Then can Aunt Sha Hong bring her over tomorrow?”

“Yes, I’ll bring her and the remaining Tribesmen back tomorrow.” Sha Hong nodded.

“That’s great! How many are left?” Yan Hua happily asked.

“Only about sixty people. There were originally over a hundred…” Sha Hong’s previously solemn expression was now laced with sadness. She suddenly remembered the scenes of those Tribesmen dying and felt regretful for not being able to protect them better.

Yan Hua silently lowered her head, saying softly, “Our Tribe doesn’t have that many people either. Not counting people from other Tribes, we only have about seventy people.”

Sha Hong was stunned, not expecting such a large Tribe to now have so few people.

She scanned the surroundings and asked, “Which Tribes are all these people from? I don’t recognize some faces. Also, why are there people from the Spotted Deer Tribe here?”

The short-haired woman saw the markings on the faces of the Spotted Deer Tribe people and immediately knew which Tribe they were from. As for Ye Jiu and the others, they were obviously from some other Tribes and it was her first time seeing them.

“Because they came to help us. As for…” Yan Hua briefly explained the situation.

After hearing the cow horned girl’s explanation, Sha Hong’s previously tense face began to soften.

Her gaze towards Su Bai was no longer as sharp; on the contrary, it had softened somewhat.

“Sha Hong, it’s so good that you’re alright,” Yan Jiao came over after arranging things and saw her.

Seeing that Yan Jiao was also fine, Sha Hong sighed in relief, “Yes, it’s great that we still have those from the Tribe living.”

“Chieftain, are all the arrangements made?” Su Bai did not mean to interrupt their reunion. However, it was already very late, and with so many mosquitoes around, he wanted to go inside to rest.

“Shaman, everything has been arranged. The remnants are being watched by dedicated guards, so there shouldn’t be any issues. Also, all their Warrior Trainees have been tied up.”

Yan Jiao immediately turned around and continued, “As for the Spotted Deer Tribesmen, they will rest for today and return tomorrow.”

“Good, then let’s go into the Tribe to rest.” Su Bai nodded.

Sha Hong frowned, a bit confused. She been away from the Tribe for such a short time, yet Yan Jiao was now the Tribe’s Chieftain?

Although she was puzzled, she still followed the cow horned girl into the Black Snake Tribe.
