I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 254, A Mirage?

Sha Lan instantly learned quite a bit about the Tribe’s weapons, and her blue eyes were full of surprise.

She composed herself and said. “Let me first relay my assigned task, then I’ll go to the training ground with you, and you can tell me more.”

“I’ll go in with you.” Yan Hua grabbed the cat eared girl’s hand and walked toward the wooden house.

*Cough cough cough…* As soon as they entered the wooden house, they were choked by dust. Looking around, everything was covered in a hazy layer.

Yan Hua waved her hand to clear the dust in the air and called out, “Uncle Shan Qiu, are you here?”

Hearing the coughing and someone calling out to him, Shan Qiu walked out from inside the wooden house.

His face and head were covered in dust. Even his Animal Hide Bag had dust on it. “Ah’Hua, Sha Lan, what brings you here?”

He patted the dust off his body, making it scatter into the air like mist.

“Uncle Shan Qiu, the Shaman asked me to tell you to forge some fish hooks.” Sha Lan said softly.

“Fish hooks? Like the ones used for fishing before? What material does the Shaman want them to be made from?” Shan Qiu asked.

Stone definitely would not work. Some Ferocious Beast Bone would not be durable enough either.

“The Shaman wants you to use Stone Armoured Crocodile Bones for crafting, saying these hooks would be more durable if made using them.” Sha Lan continued.

“Alright, I understand. The Shaman must be planning to catch some big fish.” Shan Qiu pondered, and asked in rapid succession, “No problem, but how many does the Shaman want? When does he need them?”

“The Shaman said the bigger the fish hooks, the better. He needs them this afternoon, so just make as many as you can for now.” Sha Lan continued.

Shan Qiu laughed heartily and responded, “I understand. Go tell the Shaman they’ll be delivered this afternoon.”

“Thank you, Uncle Shan Qiu. We’ll be going now.” Sha Lan very politely said.

Yan Hua also waved goodbye to Shan Qiu, following behind the cat eared girl, asking curiously, “Is the Shaman going fishing now?”

The cow horned girl was already eagerly anticipating the afternoon, not for any other reason than to watch the Shaman catch fish.

Last time, she had not managed to go fishing. So, she was thinking that this afternoon, she must seize the opportunity to do some independent fishing!

To her, it was only when she could provide food for the Tribe that she could be considered a true warrior – at the very least, that was what the cow horned girl thought.

“I don’t know about that, the Shaman didn’t tell me. Let’s go train first – if we’re late, Sister Yue will scold us,” Sha Lan urged.

“That’s true,” Yan Hua immediately became a bit nervous.

It was not that the rabbit eared girl was particularly fierce. It was just that when it came to matters related to training, she would not let the Warrior Trainees fool around like usual.

The cat eared girl and Yan Hua soon arrived at the training ground to see Yue standing in the middle, waiting for them.

Sha Lan quickly pulled the cow horned girl into formation, softly saying, “We seem to be a bit late.”

“We’re not just a bit late, we are really late. But since you’re a Shaman Priestess, who was delivering the Shaman’s orders, Yue probably won’t say anything… but…” Yan Hua speculated.

“That’s probably true. If I wasn’t a Shaman Priestess, we’d both be punished right now…” Sha Lan felt a bit scared thinking about it.

Being late to the training ground meant running ten laps around the entire Tribe. Furthermore, it was not just running. They would have to carry a large stone with them as they ran.

After those ten laps, a person would be completely exhausted, let alone participate in the following training.

The harshest part of this punishment was that after running these ten laps, they would still have to continue training. If they failed the training because they were too exhausted from running the ten laps, they would have to repeat the entire process.

However, if one was not late but failed to follow the training, they would only need to run around normally, without carrying stones.

Yue brushed her silvery-white hair aside, standing before everyone as her cool voice rang out, “Today, you will be training with the longbow.”

Since returning to the Tribal Ancestral Land, all Warrior Trainees were led by Yue, while the Totem Warriors were led by Sha Hong.

This was because Uncle Qing Yan had taken a group to the Spotted Deer Market for trading, while Cang Shi had to lead the Hunting Team.

Now, there were slightly more Warrior Trainees than before. Previously, there were twenty people, plus the seven that Sha Lan’s group brought back, making a total of twenty-seven.

From the initial twenty Totem Warriors, it had now become twenty-three, because Tu, He Chuan, and Sha Hong had been added.

Among these three, except for Sha Hong who was a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior, the other two were Early-Stage Totem Warriors.

“Yes!” The Warrior Trainees responded in unison.

When the Tribe set out to subdue the Black Snake Tribe, Shan Qiu had been researching and making longbows, recurve bows, and Crocodile Blades in his workshop. Now, almost every Totem Warrior in the Tribe had a Crocodile Blade and a recurve bow. Some might even have both.

Of course, the training of thirty archers continued, and they were also assigned to be led by Yue.

Time passed minute by minute. After the cat eared girl finished training with the longbow and some combat techniques, she walked toward Shan Qiu’s wooden house.

Naturally, the cow horned girl was no exception. She followed behind her. After getting the fish hooks, they headed toward Su Bai’s wooden house.

Along the way, Yan Hua was very excited, saying enthusiastically, “The Shaman must be going fishing, probably at the big river?”

Besides that one big river in the Tribal Ancestral Land, there was another lake. However, that lake was in the forest.

Su Bai had gone to look at that big river again, only to discover that it was not as small as he had imagined. Using his binoculars, he discovered this river was actually dozens of kilometres wide. Previously, due to the mist and using just his naked eye, he had not looked carefully enough.

He even suspected he had seen a mirage. Otherwise, how could he seemingly see the opposite side, and be so off in his initial estimation?

However, when he suddenly heard the monkey eared girl say the river was endless, he became suspicious and checked again with the binoculars.

He saw clearly that the river truly was endless, with no opposite shore in sight.

He could not help but wonder where that shore he saw last time was? The Sun had not been very strong then, and there was mist, so why would there be a mirage?

“That river is too wide. Can fish really be caught there?” Sha Lan was somewhat sceptical. Though she had heard about fishing in the Tribe, that was all done in lakes. Fishing in the big river? This was the first time she’d heard of such a thing.

“You’ll see in a bit. The Shaman might really have a way.” Yan Hua could hardly wait.
