Chapter 468, Sea Insects and Sea Fish

Su Bai looked towards where Co Co was pointing and asked, “What Tribe are you from?”

“The Sea Fish Tribe, but…” Co Co’s face began to show signs of sadness.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen to your Tribe?” Su Bai noticed her sorrow.

“The Tribe is no longer there. It was taken over by the Sea Insect Tribe.” Co Co sighed. Her memories suddenly flooded back. Indeed, the reason she had appeared near the Flame Dragon Tribe was because she had fled.

“What happened?” Su Bai asked.

“The Sea Fish Tribe was originally a Small Tribe, but we always managed quite well. We were self-sufficient in food, but it was precisely for this reason that other Tribes became rather envious of us.” Co Co took a deep breath and continued, “What’s more, as we were the smallest Tribe by the sea, many Tribes bullied us. The Sea Insect Tribe is just one of them.”

“Is the Sea Insect Tribe a Large Tribe?” Su Bai asked.

“No, it’s a Medium Tribe with around one thousand people. Our Tribe only had a little over five hundred people.” Co Co shook her head.

“Since it’s a Medium Tribe, why would they attack you? Aren’t they afraid of other Tribes attacking them?” Su Bai asked curiously.

“That won’t happen. The Coastal Tribes only look after themselves and never concern themselves with what happens to other Tribes. They certainly would not attack the Sea Insect Tribe just because they attacked another Tribe.” Co Co shook her head.

“Why is that? After the Sea Insect Tribe attacked your Tribe, wouldn’t they also suffer injuries? Other Tribes could take this opportunity to launch an attack and absorb the Sea Insect Tribe, couldn’t they?” Su Bai assessed.

“That won’t happen. The Sea Insect Tribe is closest to our Tribe. The other Tribes are some distance away. News wouldn’t travel to them that quickly.” Co Co explained.

“How many Tribes are there by the ocean?” Su Bai asked.

“I don’t know, but there should be quite a few. I heard Father say there are roughly more than twenty Tribes.” Co Co recalled.

“Are all these Tribes located along the coast? Aren’t any in the forest?” Su Bai wanted to clarify the coastal layout. He planned to subjugate all the Coastal Tribes so that all coastal industries would belong to him.

It was well known how prosperous Tribes by the ocean would be. Besides building harbours, the various seafood here was abundant.

But that was a matter for the future. For now, he needed to consider cooperating with the Coastal Tribes.

If he could get them to help harvest seafood and then trade it to other Tribes through him, it would undoubtedly be highly profitable.

However, this would only be possible if they had boats; otherwise, none of this could be implemented.

“There are some, but very few. Most are by the coast because they can catch many fish there, which is one of the Tribe’s main food sources.” Co Co said.

“I understand. How many people from the Sea Fish Tribe are still alive?” Su Bai asked.

“I don’t know. At the time, Father told me to ride Pupu away while he stayed behind to fight those from the Sea Insect Tribe…” Co Co somewhat regretted leaving.

“What is a Pupu?” Su Bai noticed the strange name.

“It’s an animal that can fly; I’ve raised it since it was small. I don’t know what happened to it,” Co Co realised that since only she had appeared near the Flame Dragon Tribe, Pupu had most likely met with misfortune.

Co Co, suddenly recalling too many things at once, and none of them pleasant memories, began to break down.

She started to cry behind her hands, missing her Father as well as her Tribe’s people and Pupu.

Su Bai reached out to pat the girl’s head, comforting her. “Everything will be alright. I’ll help you reclaim your Tribe.”

Upon hearing these words, Co Co, who had been crying, gradually composed herself. She slowly raised her head and earnestly asked. “Shaman, do you truly mean that?”

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” Su Bai solemnly asked.

In fact, his main reason for wanting to help Co Co reclaim the Sea Fish Tribe was for his own benefit. After all, if there was a Coastal Tribe under his control, many things would become much more convenient.

For instance, the task of making salt could be entirely delegated to the Sea Fish Tribe, and they could also build a harbour by the sea. Or, they could start harvesting seafood when it rained, and then transport these products back to the Flame Dragon Tribe by boat.

However, these plans were predicated on the Sea Fish Tribe being subordinate to the Flame Dragon Tribe, so this was the most important reason for helping Co Co reclaim the Sea Fish Tribe.

“Shaman, but our Tribe is very far away from the ocean. There’s no way for the Flame Dragon Tribe’s Warriors to get there.” Co Co worried.

Although she was extremely grateful and excited, upon reflection, she realised this task seemed very difficult to execute.

Even though the Flame Dragon Tribe was now very powerful, what use was that when the distance remained an issue?

The hot air balloon alone could not transport that many people. After all, the Sea Insect Tribe had over a thousand members. If they used hot air balloons for transportation, they would need many trips, which was clearly impractical.

“All of this will have to wait until after the snow season.” Su Bai reassured her.

The Tribe had yet to begin building boats; everything would have to wait until after they did this. Once they had boats, they could transport more people, and the time to reach the Sea Insect Tribe would be greatly reduced.

“I see.” Co Co’s mood had been somewhat soothed.

She believed that if the Shaman said something, he would certainly accomplish it, so she just needed to wait.

“However, before that, I need you to do something.” Su Bai suddenly said.

“Shaman, what would you have me do? As long as we can bring back the Sea Fish Tribe, I’ll do anything.” Co Co said earnestly.

“I need you to go to the Sea Insect Tribe and see if any of your Tribe’s people are still there.” Su Bai said.

If any of the Sea Fish Tribe people had survived, reclaiming the Sea Fish Tribe would be much easier.

“But the Sea Insect Tribe people know me. If I go, I’ll definitely get captured.” Co Co worried.

“No need to fear. Just use the hot air balloon, and have Ai’er accompany you while you scout.” Su Bai instructed.

In Primitive Tribes, when darkness envelops, most would not be able to see that far out. At that time, using a hot air balloon to fly in the sky would be practically unnoticeable to anyone.

They just needed to fly high in the sky and observe the Sea Insect Tribe from a distance. It would be better if they could find the Sea Fish Tribe people, but it also was not a major issue if they could not locate them.
