I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Chapter 82: Run Quick

Yan Jiao vigilantly scanned the surroundings, lowering his voice to say, “The Shaman has already sensed them in advance.”

“Yes, there are seven people in total, constantly watching us,” Da Gua nodded repeatedly.

Hei Ya had a serious expression, asking with concern, “Shaman, what should we do now? Should we rush out and capture them?”

Su Bai raised his hand to calm them, instructing, “If we rush out, they’ll run away. We want to catch them off guard…”

After hearing the plan, Hei Ya nodded repeatedly, saying seriously, “Shaman, I absolutely won’t let anything happen to you.”

Yan Jiao gave Hei Ya’s head a punch, scolding, “Lower your voice! Why don’t you speak even louder!?”

“Yes, Chieftain…” Hei Ya replied, covering his head.

Mai Mang, Wa Ming, and the others were also very alert, tightly guarding around Su Bai.

Su Bai blinked his black eyes, gesturing to the roasted meat by the fire, advising, “Hei Ya, Mai Mang, you two eat something first. How can you fight without replenishing your strength?”

“Yes, Shaman, who knows if they might suddenly rush out right this instant,” Hei Ya was also vigilant.

“Eat first. They’re still some distance away. Even if they charge out, it will take time. Use this time to quickly eat something,” Su Bai appreciated their vigilance.

“Yes,” Hei Ya and Mai Mang had been wanting to eat for a long time. Knowing they were temporarily safe, they began to heartily eat.

Yan Jiao, Da Gua, and Wa Ming remained vigilant, the three facing different directions, their eyes fixed on the distance.

“Shaman, stay where you are and don’t move,” Yan Hua had also changed from her usual self. Her expression alone was very serious.

*Crackle crackle…* The burning branches in the fire pit continuously made sounds, matching the current tense atmosphere.

Su Bai sensed the positions of those seven people and said, “Let’s pretend to rest first. Don’t make any noise, and there’s no need to keep watch. We ‘just need to guard the tree’.”

“What tree? What are we guarding a tree for?” Yan Hua looked confused and continued to ask, “Shaman, what are you planning?”

“It means to quietly wait for the enemy to come and strike when the opportunity arises,” Su Bai forgot they did not understand idioms.

“Oh, I see, I understand now,” Yan Hua pondered, thinking to herself that this must be something taught in Large Tribes.

“Shaman, should we put out the fire?” Da Gua asked curiously.

Su Bai raised his hand to stop him, saying, “No need, putting it out will make them suspicious. Leave it as is.”

“Understood” Da Gua withdrew the stone he was about to use to extinguish the fire.

Yan Jiao lowered his brows, reluctantly crouching down, his eyes still fixed straight ahead.

Meanwhile, several hundred meters away from Su Bai and the others, Ye Jiu and her group were getting restless.

“Boss, shouldn’t we go and rob their dried meat?” Shan Xiong said excitedly. He had been coveting this meat since seeing it during the day.

“Yes, all the Totem Warriors are here. There’s no one protecting the gathering ground. I’m afraid it might be dangerous if we wait too long,” Shou Ya worried.

Ye Jiu blinked her grey eyes, seriously staring in the direction of Su Bai and the others, cautiously saying, “Wait a bit longer. We’ll go when they’re asleep.”

“Once we get our dried meat, I’m definitely going to eat my fill!” Shan Xiong said excitedly.

Shou Ya bared his big front teeth, looking expectant, “It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten until I’m full. With so much, there’s enough meat for us to eat for a long time.”

“Yes, exactly,” the other Totem Warriors agreed.

Ye Jiu glanced at them, coldly warning, “Keep quiet. We don’t want to end up empty-handed right.”

“Yes, Boss,” Shan Xiong and the others nodded sheepishly.

Time passed minute by minute. Ye Jiu and her group kept hiding behind large trees, slowly waiting for the right moment, not even minding the mosquito bites.

Ye Jiu frowned, drawing a Stone Knife, and quietly ordered, “Shan Xiong, Shou Ya, take two people and charge forward. The rest of us will grab from behind.”

“Yes!” Shan Xiong and Shou Ya said excitedly. As long as they could steal all that dried meat, being the first to charge in was not a problem.

*Thump thump thump…* Shou Ya and the others ran out excitedly, greedily advancing towards Su Bai and his group, with Ye Jiu and the others following closely behind.

“Ah!” Just as Shan Xiong and the others were about to reach Su Bai’s group, one of their Totem Warriors was thrown flying by Yan Jiao.

Before the other Totem Warrior could react, he was also punched in the stomach, immediately losing his ability to fight.

Shou Ya’s face changed dramatically, his eyes widening in terror as he shouted, “You! Weren’t you all asleep!?”

Shan Xiong, however, was so obsessed with the two bags of dried meat that he recklessly charged forward, shouting, “Give me the dried meat!”

Yan Jiao’s Totem Mark had fully appeared on his body. He swung his fist and punched Shan Xiong in the stomach.

The result was predictable. The other was only an Early-Stage Totem Warrior, and a single punch from a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior was enough to knock him down.

Hei Ya and Mai Mang also charged out, their Totem Marks were also visible, while Da Gua, Wa Ming, and Yan Hua tightly guarded Su Bai.

Shou Ya was already sweating profusely in fear. Seeing the Totem Mark on Yan Jiao’s body, he stammered, “You-you’re a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior!?”

Yan Jiao flexed his fist, his face dark as he approached Shou Ya step by step, looking as if he might twist off his head at any moment.

Shou Ya was so scared that he hastily retreated, stumbling and looking very pathetic, having lost his initial ferocity.

Ye Jiu also looked shocked, her grey pupils suddenly contracting as she exclaimed in terror, “How, how can there be a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior?”

This ambush had been a complete failure for them. With just one Mid-Stage Totem Warrior on the opposing side, plus four other Early-Stage Totem Warriors, it was enough to crush them.

“B-Boss, what do we do now!?” Shou Ya stuttered.

“You want to steal our dried meat? Let’s see if my fist agrees with you!” Yan Jiao fiercely smiled.

“Run! Run quickly!” Ye Jiu shouted.
