[System, check in!] Su Bai called out in his mind. The fox eared girl had just left the Teepee with a wooden bucket so he seized the opportunity to check in.
<Ding! Congratulations, Host has successfully checked in.> The System’s mechanical voice sounded.
[System, open the Assistance Package.] Su Bai continued in his mind.
<Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: a ‘Various Straw Sandal Crafting Guide’.>
Su Bai’s black eyes widened slightly as a Straw Sandal Crafting Guide appeared in his hand out of thin air.
He was pleasantly surprised and happily thanked. [This Assistance Package is amazing.]
He eagerly opened the Straw Sandal Crafting Guide, and read through it. He found it very detailed, covering how to find the materials, which materials are suitable, how to weave them, and so on. Not only that, but it also included various types of Straw Sandals, such as slippers, toe-covering sandals, and open sandals. It was all dazzling to the eye.
[With this book, we can solve everyone’s footwear problem. Now, we don’t have to worry about foot injuries when going out into the Wilderness!] Su Bai said with a small smile. He glanced down at his own slightly worn-out sportswear shoes, thinking it was time for him to change shoes as well.
“Shaman, you look very happy.” Yu Ying said as she lifted the door flap and saw his cheerful expression.
“I guess. Has the Chieftain arrived?” Su Bai quickly closed the Straw Sandal Crafting Guide.
When he woke up this morning, he had thought of something and sent Yu Ying to find the Chieftain.
“En.” Yu Ying stepped aside, and Yan Jiao’s figure appeared from the outside.
Yan Jiao stepped in, placing his hand on his chest in a salute, and asked, “Shaman, what arrangements do you have for me?”
Yesterday, after the fence was built, those small wild beasts were thrown in. They were mostly wild chickens, just of different breeds, two types in total.
“This should have been done earlier, but it’s not too late to start now.” Su Bai sat up straight and continued, “I want you to find people.”
“Find people?” Yan Jiao did not quite understand this assignment and asked further, “Shaman, who do you want me to find?”
“Find the original people of our Tribe.” Su Bai asked in return. “Didn’t you say that after the Black Snake Tribe attacked, many people from our Tribe were scattered?”
“Yes, they were scattered, but it’s been so long, we don’t know how they’re doing and where they are.” Yan Jiao said with forlornness and regret in his eyes.
Su Bai blinked his black eyes and instructed. “Ye Jiu and the others are currently gathering information about the Black Snake Tribe. You should take some people to look for them.”
The Tribe’s current population was really too small, especially considering that the previous Flame Dragon Tribe had quite a large population.
Due to the Black Snake Tribe’s attack, many of their people got scattered. Being scattered did not mean they were dead; they’ve just become Wanderers. If they could be found and brought back, the Tribe would have more people again. It was also good preparation for reclaiming their Ancestral Land. Finding people was all benefits and had no drawbacks.
“Shaman, are you serious?” Yan Jiao excitedly asked.
He naturally always wanted to find his lost Tribesmen from the beginning. It was just that the Tribe had too few people, with only about a dozen Totem Warriors, some of whom had to go hunting. The rest had to take turns protecting the Tribe. With the Old Shaman’s health failing, they could not afford to have fewer Totem Warriors around to search for their Tribesmen.
There was also another worry, which was If they were to send out their Totem Warriors with Warrior Trainees to find their Tribesmen would they be able to find them? What if the people they sent got lost outside as well? It would undoubtedly be adding frost to snow for the Tribe, and would cause their situation to further worsen. So, this matter had been delayed, and Yan Jiao felt very uncomfortable about it. He was constantly thinking about the Tribesmen from the original Tribe but could not do anything to help them.
“Yes, I know the Tribe’s previous situation. But, we do have more Totem Warriors and Warrior Trainees now. After so many days, we know that their hearts are with our Tribe.” Su Bai paused, then continued, “Now, we can spare some people to search for those that are still lost. We still need to find our people. I don’t want them to continue living their days as Wanderers.”
Yan Jiao’s red eyes were full of excitement as he loudly responded, “Shaman, I’m willing to lead the search!”
Su Bai raised his hand to calm him down and said. “You still need to stay in the Tribe. The Tribe can’t be without you now. Let Shu Feng and the others with wings go.”
[Considering that they have wings and can fly, it would make searching for people more convenient. They could avoid the Ferocious Beasts on the ground, and it would be more efficient, saving a lot of time travelling back and forth to the Tribe.]
“Understood, I’ll make sure they do a thorough search,” Yan Jiao said, a rare smile appearing on his usually solemn face.
“Good. For now, don’t let others know about this. Only the original people of our Tribe should know.” Su Bai picked up his water cup and continued to instruct, “The Totem Warriors that Ye Jiu brought should not be involved in this for now.”
Currently, the Tribe’s Totem Warriors were divided into three groups. The first group was escorting the linen to the Spotted Deer Tribe. The second group was the Hunting Team and they needed to go out to hunt and usually took quite a number of people with them. The third group was the Totem Warriors currently in the Tribe. They were responsible for protecting the Tribe and were tasked with patrolling, as well as training the Warrior Trainees.
Su Bei naturally understood the principle of ‘caution is the parent of safety,’ and these new members had not been in the Tribe for very long. It was better not to let them know that the Tribe suddenly had fewer Totem Warriors. Who knows if they might develop some thoughts they should not have?
“Understood. Most of them have gone hunting with the Hunting Team. Only one remains in the Tribe.” Yan Jiao reported.
Of the seven Totem Warriors that Ye Jiu brought with her, besides her and Bai Si who were tasked to monitor the Black Snake Tribe, four others had all left with the Hunting Team. They were not even sent to exchange goods with the Spotted Deer Tribe. Currently, there was only one in the Tribe.
“That’s good. Arrange the rest as you see fit. Don’t make this matter too conspicuous.” Su Bai instructed.
“I understand.” Yan Jiao nodded in response. He had already thought of who to send. Besides Shu Feng, there were two other suitable candidates.
