*Rustle rustle…*
*Crackle crackle…*
Ah Ruo was quickly moving through the primitive forest. Her silver-white eyes were constantly scanning her surroundings.
The freckles on her nose bridge and her long silver-white hair shimmered particularly beautifully in the sunlight.
It had been three days since the sheep horned girl left Ye Jiu’s side. If she moved a bit faster, she could reach the Tribe before nightfall.
Several hours later, Ah Ruo emerged from the primitive forest, her body covered with leaves and some flying insects.
As the sheep horned girl left the primitive forest, these flying insects also flew away, and she looked exhausted.
Nevertheless, Ah Ruo did not stop for even a moment. She kept running directly towards the Tribe, wanting to immediately relay the intelligence about the Black Snake Tribe to the Shaman.
Half an hour later, the sheep horned girl arrived at the Main Teepee, waiting for the Shaman’s summons.
“Come in.” Su Bai said from inside the Teepee.
Ah Ruo lifted the door flap and entered, catching her breath as she said, “Shaman, I’ve brought back information about the Black Snake Tribe.”
“Have a drink first. Catch your breath before speaking.” Su Bai gestured for her to drink some water.
Yu Ying handed the water to the sheep horned girl, softly saying, “Sister Ah Ruo, have some water.”
“Thank you, Shaman, thank you, Xiao Yu.” Ah Ruo indeed had not drank water for a long time. So long, her entire mouth was dry and peeling. It was even cracking a bit, because the Sun was very strong, and the sheep horned girl had been constantly running and sweating.
“What about the Black Snake Tribe?” Su Bai asked, looking up.
Ah Ruo put down the wooden cup and began to report, “The Black Snake Tribe has about two thousand people in total. This is the number we confirmed after many days of repeated observation.”
Su Bai rested one hand on the table, his five fingers constantly tapping the table surface, and asked, “How many Totem Warriors are there? How many Warrior Trainees? And what about the number of slaves?”
“Among the two thousand people, there are about two hundred Totem Warriors, about three hundred Warrior Trainees, and about four hundred slaves.” Ah Ruo said, her silver-white eyes turning as she recalled. She continued to add, “These numbers are also what we derived after observing for several days.”
“So their fighting force is over five hundred people?” Su Bai frowned and continued, “The slaves will also hinder us.”
“Shaman, those slaves should not pose a threat to us.” Ah Ruo knew that those people only did manual labour.
“No, the slaves will do anything for food and will obey orders.” Su Bai said, pursing his lips.
“The Shaman is right, I didn’t think of that…” Ah Ruo understood when she thought about the food aspect. After all, she knew how important food was and how awful it was to starve. If the Black Snake Tribe used food as leverage, letting them charge in front in exchange for a big piece of meat, these people would definitely be tempted.
“What do the slaves eat each day? And how are they clothed?” Su Bai wanted to understand more details.
Ah Ruo fiddled with her silver-white hair, recalling, “They only eat one meal a day, and very little meat. As for clothing, they don’t have Animal Hide clothes. They are all wearing leaves.”
She could not help feeling scared. If the Tribe did not have a Shaman, and after becoming Wanderers, they got captured as slaves and lived such a life, they would surely go mad.
“That’s good.” Su Bai nodded with satisfaction. Seeing the sheep horned girl’s surprised expression, he smiled and added, “I mean it’s helpful for our plan.”
“Shaman, do you have a plan?” Ah Ruo asked curiously, because she also felt that the current strength of the Tribe did not match that of the Black Snake Tribe.
Without a proper plan, it would indeed make people feel anxious, because they would feel a lack of confidence, and morale would be low.
“Yes, you rest for a night. Go find Ye Jiu and the others tomorrow, and tell them to come back. After resting for a few days, we can launch an attack on the Black Snake Tribe.” Su Bai said.
He already had a complete set of plans in mind. He was now just waiting for the people from the Spotted Deer Tribe to arrive in four days. Once they were here, they could launch an attack on the Black Snake Tribe.
“Okay.” Ah Ruo nodded and turned to leave the Teepee.
Su Bai slowly put down the wooden cup in his hand, his black eyes becoming particularly deep, constantly staring at the view outside the Tribe through the faintly visible door flap.
Yu Ying quietly filled the wooden cup with water and then retreated to the side. It was the first time she had seen the Shaman look so solemn.
Su Bai took out the Wolf Tail Grass Paper he had drawn on a couple of days ago, looking at the words and patterns that filled it.
He shook the quill pen in his hand, muttering to himself, “Before this, what we need is food.”
For Su Bai’s plan to work, food was the most important link. If this link was missing, the entire plan would be seriously affected.
Yu Ying’s pink eyes were wide open and moist. She had gotten used to the Shaman being like this. Every time the Shaman looked serious while studying, he would… be particularly charming, making it impossible to look away.
“Xiao Yu, help me call Cang Shi over.” Su Bai raised his head and instructed.
Yu Ying’s gaze was still on Su Bai’s delicate face, not yet having come back to her senses.
Su Bai’s thick eyebrows furrowed, he waved his hand in front of her and asked, “What’s wrong, Xiao Yu?”
“Ah!” Yu Ying came back to her senses, shaking her head and her fox tail, standing up straight as she said, “Shaman, is there anything you need me to do? Are you hungry? Or thirsty? Or hot?”
The fox eared girl’s face immediately turned visibly red, thinking about how embarrassing her infatuated look just now must have been.
Su Bai covered his face with one hand and laughed, truly captivated by the fox eared girl’s cute appearance. He shook his head and comforted, “Nothing at all, just go help me call Cang Shi over.”
“Call Uncle Cang Shi? I’ll go right away!” Yu Ying said, her face blushing as she ran out of the Teepee.
Su Bai’s lips curved into a smile as he murmured, “What a cute little secretary.”
The fox eared girl’s current position was like a secretary on Earth, but the fox eared girl definitely won out by having a pair of pink fox ears and a fox tail.
For Su Bai, beast eared girls look far more interesting than ordinary people, especially when they were pure and naive.
A few minutes later, Cang Shi stepped into the Teepee and asked, “Shaman, you need me?”
“How much meat does the Tribe have right now?” Su Bai still wanted to understand the whole situation clearly.
“Enough for our Tribe to eat heartily for about ten days,” Cang Shi said with a smile on his face.
“And if we save some, how many days can we eat?” Su Bai asked.
Cang Shi thought for a moment and said, “If we distribute food according to the initial model, we can eat for about twenty days.”
“Then if we add another four hundred people plus our Tribe’s people, how long will this food last?” Su Bai asked.
