I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Chapter 66: It’s Too Dangerous Here

“What a pity,” Su Bai sighed.

He had prepared many plans, most of which were sustainable and would achieve maximum benefits. If they changed plans temporarily, although it could temporarily solve the Flame Dragon Tribe’s meat shortage, the limitation of their population would be difficult to resolve.

“That girl, didn’t she water the plants in the morning and at noon? Why is she watering again?” Su Bai saw Yu Ying’s figure, carrying a water bucket towards the sweet potato field.

He walked over and called out, “Xiao Yu, stop.”

“Shaman, is there something you want me to do?” Yu Ying quickly stopped and put down the wooden bucket she was carrying.

“How many times a day do you water the field?” Su Bai scanned the wet sweet potato field.

“I water six times a day so they can grow faster,” Yu Ying said softly and cutely.

“…” Su Bai raised his hand to his forehead, looking helplessly at the excited fox eared girl before him.

Yu Ying reined in her emotions and cautiously asked, “Shaman, did I do something wrong?”

“No, it’s my fault for not clearly explaining it earlier.” Su Bai shook his head and gently explained, “Sweet potatoes don’t need constant watering. Water only twice a day, in the morning and evening. That is more than enough. When they grow bigger, watering once every few days will suffice.”

“Ah? Will they be alright now?” Yu Ying stared with her pink eyes in panic.

“It’s fine. More water is good when they’re just planted, but not too much.” Su Bai reassured her.

“That’s good,” Yu Ying sighed in relief, patting her ample chest.

As if remembering something, she pointed towards the forest and worriedly said, “Shaman, Sister Ah’Hua is acting strange today. She’s been sitting on that tree over there all day.”

“I’ll go check on her,” Su Bai’s black eyes flickered as he walked towards the forest.

This was the path often taken by the Hunting Team. He had walked it several times before, with the cow horned girl leading him the first time.

Su Bai soon saw Yan Hua’s figure. She was sitting on a branch of a big tree, staring intently at the distant forest.

Yan Hua quickly noticed Su Bai’s arrival and turned to look at him, surprised, “Shaman, why are you here?”

“I came to see you,” Su Bai said softly.

“Hmm?” Yan Hua pursed her lips, turning to grab the branch, preparing to come down.

“No need to come down, just stay up there,” Su Bai waved his hand, knowing that the cow horned girl was waiting for Yan Jiao to return.

“…” Yan Hua hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not come down. She turned back to sit on the tree trunk, staring blankly at the distant forest.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere grew quiet, with only occasional beast roars from the distance.

“Shaman, will my Father come back?” Yan Hua asked in a hoarse voice. Her red eyes, reflecting the sunset, appeared even more reddened, with a hint of crystal shimmering visible.

She had not seen her Father in two days. If it was just one day, she would not have thought much of it, as he often disappeared for a day in the past. However, it was only this morning that she learned that her Father had gone into the forest to challenge a Pure Blood Ferocious Beast! This completely frightened her. Having grown up listening to hunting stories, she knew how terrifying Pure Blood Ferocious Beasts were. They were not something a Level 1 Totem Warrior could challenge.

“Of course. He left with the Shaman Bone Tablets I’ve made,” Su Bai said, standing under the shadow of the tree, his face looking particularly solemn.

“Hmmmm.” Yan Hua tilted her head up.

Time slowly passed, the sun sinking lower in the west, darkness gradually swallowing the light.

The atmosphere became increasingly oppressive, and the cow horned girl’s grip on the tree branch tightened.

“Something’s coming,” Su Bai suddenly said, his black eyes fixed on the sky above the distant forest, where he saw birds circling.

*Whoosh!* Two figures flashed out from their hiding spots, standing in front of Su Bai.

They were Da Gua and Wa Ming, the two Totem Warriors responsible for protecting the Shaman’s safety.

“Is it the Chieftain returning?” Su Bai frowned and asked.

“Very likely, but the commotion he’s drawing is a bit big,” Da Gua said in a low voice.

“Shaman, you should return to the Tribe first. It’s too dangerous here,” Wa Ming hoarsely said. They were currently at the edge of the Tribe’s territory.

“Let’s wait a bit longer,” Su Bai shook his head.

Yan Hua immediately came down from the tree and stood beside Su Bai, her red eyes expectantly watching the forest.
