I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 272, A Decision That Cannot Be Changed

Translator: Silavin

Cang Shi doubted his own ears, widening his purple eyes as he asked in a dire tone, “Shaman, this cannot be allowed.”

He knew the dangers of the Hunting Ground better than anyone. There were just too many fierce Ferocious Beasts there. There were all sorts of dangerous things, and even Totem Warriors could easily die there. How could the Tribe’s Shaman be allowed to take such a risk?

“I’m going to the Hunting Ground for a reason, not out of curiosity.” Su Bai solemnly said.

He knew the Cang Shi was under the impression that he was just curious, and wanted to look around. Truth be told, he was actually curious. After all, he had transmigrated to this era and had never been there before. He had also heard the forest near the Hunting Ground was very different, completely unlike the forests nearby. Naturally, he wanted to see it.

However, he had more plans to implement. Plans which needed him to personally check upon. Otherwise, he himself would not want to risk his own life by making this trip.

“What does the Shaman need to do at the Hunting Ground?” Cang Shi curiously asked.

“Plans that will benefit the Tribe’s development. You can rest for a few days first, then we’ll go.” Su Bai calmly stated.

“I understand.” Cang Shi nodded, knowing that he could not change the Shaman’s mind in these few days.

When Cang Shi left the wooden house, he was already thinking about telling Yan Jiao about this matter, to see if he could convince the Shaman.

“Shaman, are you really going to the Hunting Ground?” Yu Ying looked worriedly at him.

Although the fox eared girl had never been to the Hunting Ground herself, she had heard about it and knew it was extremely dangerous. Hearing that the Shaman wanted to go to the Hunting Ground, she could not help but worry. The level of anxiety she felt was no less than when they were going to attack the Black Snake Tribe.

“I really need to go. For the Tribe’s development, I must make this trip.” Su Bai solemnly said.

He was thinking about seeing if there were any animals suitable for breeding in the Tribe, or if there were plants that could be cultivated.

There were too many things in this era he just did not know about. Only by going to see for himself would he know what could benefit the Tribe.

Others’ descriptions alone were not enough. He had to see these things himself. Only by seeing it himself would he know what was useful.

“But Shaman, the Hunting Ground is very dangerous, with many terrifying Ferocious Beasts.” Yu Ying was very worried.

The fox eared girl looked just like before, hands tightly clasped, her pink fox tail drooping down.

“I know, but with people like Cang Shi who knows the terrain well, I don’t think I will face that many dangers.” Su Bai smiled, reaching out to pat the fox eared girl’s head. “Besides, I can use Shaman Techniques. So, there’s really nothing to worry about.”

He had mastered The Curing Technique and Taming, plus they had many recurve bows and Totem Warriors. There should not be any problems in terms of his safety.

Yu Ying’s gloomy expression gradually dispersed as she sighed, “But it’s really dangerous.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely safely return.” Su Bai warmly smiled.

No matter how dangerous, he had to go. Besides, after noticing the plants planted around the Ancestral Land do not grow as fast, he needed to reconsider his farming plans.

“I understand. I’ll prepare food for the Shaman’s journey.” Yu Ying said, pitifully bitting on her lips.

“Haha… good girl!” Su Bai continued patting her head.

Very soon, Yan Jiao ran into the wooden house with an anxious expression, forgetting even to greet them, “Shaman, you said you’re going to the Hunting Ground?”

After hearing the news from Cang Shi, he immediately dropped his work and rushed over without a word. The whole way, his expression was dire, not even responding to greetings from the other Tribe members.

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Su Bai saw his anxious face and knew Cang Shi must have told him everything.

“Shaman, absolutely not. It’s too dangerous, you absolutely cannot go to the Hunting Ground.” Yan Jiao firmly shook his head.

Su Bai raised his eyebrows, not expecting the other party to be so nervous. He added, “Cang Shi will be there, so it’s fine.”

“Even with him there it’s still too dangerous. The Hunting Ground is really dangerous.” Yan Jiao solemnly said.

He had been to the Hunting Ground and naturally knew of its dangers. Even Totem Warriors had to be extremely careful, let alone a non-warrior like the Shaman.

“I have Shaman Technique, and moreover, I’m not going to the Hunting Ground to join in the excitement – I have things I need to do.” Su Bai solemnly said.

“The Shaman can arrange for Cang Shi and others to do it in your place. Going personally is too dangerous/” Yan Jiao replied.

“This can’t be delegated. I must go there personally. Don’t worry, we’ll just take more Totem Warriors with us this time.” Su Bai waved his hand.

Yan Jiao sighed deeply and said. “Shaman, is it really necessary to go? The Hunting Ground really isn’t worth the risk.”

“It’s necessary. I’m going there for the development of the Tribe.” Su Bai said.

He had wanted to go to the Hunting Ground for a long time now but there had not been an opportunity to do so.

Yan Jiao knew the Shaman’s decisions could not be easily changed. Each decision he made had always brought better developments for the Tribe.

He thought for a moment before saying, “I understand. I’ll have Cang Shi stay close to you to protect you.”

“Don’t tell too many people about my departure. The fewer who know, the better.” Su Bai instructed. After all, there were many Black Snake Tribesmen in the Tribe right now. If they knew that the Shaman was not in the Tribe, these people might start having bad intentions.

“I understand.” Yan Jiao solemnly responded.

He had considered this too. Currently, Black Snake Tribesmen were still in the majority. They absolutely could not let them know that the Shaman would be away from the Tribe.

“Go prepare for now. We’ll be leaving in three days.” Su Bai instructed.

“Understood.” Yan Jiao nodded and turned to leave the wooden house.

He tilted his head with a serious expression, still feeling that it was too dangerous for the Shaman to go to the Hunting Ground.

[But, nobody can change the Shaman’s decision.] Yan Jiao sighed in his heart.

At this point, they could only have Cang Shi be more vigilant, as there was nothing else they could do.
