I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 284, The Second Base

Translator: Silavin

After Cang Shi taught the five Warrior Trainees how to process and handle the beast’s meat, they packed up and prepared to leave.

*Thump thump thump…* Su Bai curiously scanned the surroundings, looking to see if there was anything the Tribe could use.

After all, many things in the Tribe now were found in the Wilderness. Since they’d come to the Hunting Ground, and this place had even more resources, they should look carefully around.

While glancing sideways, he noticed some colourful flowers on an Ancient Tree, which made him stop to look at them more closely.

These flowers looked similar to Peonies from Earth, but with fewer and much larger petals.

Overall, there were several different coloured flowers clustered together, covering the lower half of the Ancient Tree, in five colours: red, yellow, blue, white, and purple.

“Shaman, what’s wrong? Did you find something?” Yan Hua curiously asked.

The cow horned girl now had many Beast Bones hanging at her waist. They were the trophy from earlier. The Beast Horn was special and was placed around her neck. This put her in good spirits.

“What are those?” Su Bai pointed at the colourful flowers on the tree.

Yan Hua looked in the direction he pointed and shook her head. “I don’t know. It’s my first time seeing them.”

Hearing their conversation, Cang Shi looked over and explained: “These are called Five-Colour Flowers. They’re not poisonous or edible. Purely decorative.”

“Five-Colour Flowers?” Su Bai’s mouth twitched a few times, surprised at such a casual name for such beautiful flowers. “Pick some for me to look at.”

“Alright.” Cang Shi had someone pick quite a few.

Su Bai carefully examined these flowers, taking ten petals and starting to rub them between his hands.

After about ten seconds, the petals were completely crushed, and his hands were stained with the flowers’ colour, which would not wipe off.

“The colouring is quite good.” Su Bai said.

“Shaman, are these flowers useful? Should we take some back?” Cang Shi quickly asked.

He knew that whenever the Shaman wanted something, it always ended up being very helpful for the Tribe.

Su Bai turned his black eyes to the side and said. “They are useful, but there’s no rush. Let’s keep moving for now.”

He already had ideas about what to do with these flowers. He just needed to experiment with them first.

Su Bai put the remaining flowers into his Animal Hide Bag, and everyone continued walking deeper into the forest.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at a wider area where the towering trees began to thin out.

Soon, there was an open area. The scenery near the open area was beautiful, with shorter trees and colourful foliage. The ground in the open area was covered in lush grass, colourful flowers, and had a small stream.

The overall feeling was like a paradise, making anyone who saw it feel better.

At this moment, a herd of Giant Horned Deers moved along the riverbank’s grassland, sometimes drinking water, sometimes grazing, sometimes fighting with their huge antlers over mates.

Beside the Giant Horned Deer, another type of creature was active – wolves, the predators that the Giant Horned Deer feared.

Several hundred meters away from the deer herd, high in the trees, the Hunting Team hid in the dense shadows of the branches.

Being in this area tended to be dangerous due to it being an open space. One’s figure would be completely exposed, so they needed to hide first.

Everyone’s eyes peered through gaps in the leaves toward the deer herd. This was their fourth day away from the Tribe.

The hunts at the first base, the area around the cave, had not yielded much, as there were only small prey there.

They also did not wish to spend much time on small prey because there were larger game elsewhere.

They would need to catch a lot of small prey to meet the Tribe’s needs. While they were not difficult to catch, they might be difficult to find. Their large numbers were also not convenient to carry around.

It was much better to hunt large prey instead. Each person could carry one back, which was more convenient than being loaded down with many small prey.

The first base was typically used as a rest stop for transitions to other bases. Traveling overnight to the second base would be too dangerous.

The Hunting Team never hunted at night, so Cang Shi now planned to lead them to the second base.

The second base was on the other side of the first base. They needed to cross the basin and climb another mountain to reach it.

Since the Hunting Team had Warrior Trainees and the Shaman with them, Cang Shi did not plan to go straight across. That would be too dangerous. If they encountered Ferocious Beasts, that would basically be a death sentence.

Cang Shi chose a second route, following along the edges. Though the route was longer, it was less dangerous than cutting straight across.

Just as they were about to move forward, the Hunting Team spotted a herd of Giant Horned Deer.

At the same time, they saw traces of a wolf pack, so everyone was told to hide.

They all watched the wolves in the forest, to see what their next move would be.

Since the wolf pack appeared along with the Giant Horned Deer, it meant they were out hunting as well.

Su Bai blinked his black eyes as he observed the wolf pack, even taking out his telescope.

He could see these wolves were much stronger than those he had seen on Earth, with very developed muscles, long sharp fangs and powerful claws indicating how lethal they were. Adding to that, their head and jaw structure showed they had much stronger bite. This would explain why their prey included animals several times their size.

These wolves looked different too. Though they share some similarities, these had three tails and much longer fur.

“Right now the wolf pack is just prowling around. Before acting, they’ll assess the situation first. They won’t rush out randomly.”

Cang Shi’s face was solemn as he explained to the Warrior Trainees. “They’ll avoid those with especially big antlers, because if they get hit, their bellies could be ripped open.”

Among the Giant Horned Deer herd, many male deer had huge antlers, and some had particularly special ones.

Unlike other deer whose antlers spread to the sides of their heads, these deer’s antlers extended forward and backward, making it difficult for wolves to attack.

“Ah’Lan, haven’t we seen those antlers before?” Yan Hua quietly asked.

“Back at the Ancestral Land, the Old Shaman had a pair. He wore them during ceremonies.” Sha Lan recalled with her excellent memory.

“Yes, yes, that’s it!” Yan Hua had been amazed for a long time back then, wondering where such things came from. Now, she found out they came from the Hunting Ground.
