I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Chapter 186: He is the Shaman?

Qing Yan and Yue were led by Yan Jiao into Su Bai’s Teepee, which was suddenly full of people.

Not only them, but Cang Shi was also there, as well as the cow horned girl who had been following behind.

Qing Yan was stunned when he was brought into the Teepee. He scanned the Teepee but did not see the Old Shaman.

He looked at Yan Jiao in surprise and asked, “Didn’t you say you were taking me to see the Shaman? Why are only Xiao Yu and another person here?”

Qing Yan knew the fox eared girl, knowing she was Cang Shi’s Niece, and that her Father and Mother had sacrificed themselves for the Tribe.

“He is the Shaman.” Yan Jiao said seriously, his eyes constantly signalling the other not to speak carelessly.

Yue was much wiser. When she followed into the Teepee, she had already inquired about the Tribe’s situation from the cow horned girl. She knew in advance that the Tribe’s Shaman was no longer the Old Shaman, but a new Shaman was leading them.

However, she was surprised that the new Shaman was so young. This astonished her. She even wondered if there was some mistake.

Qing Yan turned his head dumbfoundedly, looking at Su Bai with a dry throat for a long time before asking, “You’re the Shaman?”

He could not believe his eyes either. How could the Tribe suddenly change Shamans, and to such a young one at that. [How could such a young Shaman know Shaman Techniques? Can he even make Shaman Bone Tablets? How can he lead the Tribe if he can’t do this most basic task?]

Su Bai spread his hands and asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile, “What? Don’t I look like one?”

Qing Yan thought to himself: [It’s not a question of looking like one or not, it’s simply impossible for you to be a Shaman.]

He put aside his inner thoughts and solemnly asked, “Shaman, are you the Successor designated by the Old Shaman?”

Although he still respected the previous Old Shaman in his heart, Yan Jiao had said that the person in front of him was the Shaman, so he had to show respect.

“Qing Yan, he is indeed the Successor designated by the Old Shaman, and our Tribe has been able to survive until now thanks to him.” Yan Jiao pulled Qing Yan aside and said very seriously, “In our Tribe…”

He began to explain the ins and outs to Qing Yan in great detail, while thinking to himself that he must scold Shu Feng later for not explaining this on the way.

After listening to the series of explanations, Qing Yan finally understood. He turned around, stood very straight, and apologised, “Shaman, I’m really sorry. I was too excited and lost my manners for a moment.”

Su Bai raised his hand to calm him down. He did not mind it and said, “It’s alright. Those who don’t know are not guilty.”

“Those who… don’t know… are not guilty?” Qing Yan unconsciously touched the horn on his forehead, looking confused.

This new phrase stunned him a bit, and he did not know if it was a rebuke. In fact, he did not even know what it meant.

“My name is Su Bai. I’m the new Shaman of this Tribe.” Su Bai introduced himself first. He still respected these leading figures in the Tribe, after all, they had lived in this Tribe all their lives. Moreover, most of the Tribe’s safety and operations relied on them. He would not and did not like to put on an air of superiority or arrogance.

Qing Yan immediately nodded, looking embarrassed, and said, “Shaman, my name is Qing Yan. I was previously in charge of training in the Tribe.”

“Shaman, I am Yue. I was also responsible for training before.” Yue stepped forward from behind.

She was a rabbit eared girl, only twenty-five years old, with long silver-white hair matching her white ears. Both her eyes were silver-white. She was exceptionally beautiful and charming, very much like a cold beauty. She was about 1.7 metres tall with an exceptional figure.

The only flaw was her Animal Hide clothing, which was a bit small. It made her look like an adult wearing children’s clothes.

“Tell me about what happened outside the Tribe.” Su Bai was curious about how they had survived for so long after leaving the Tribe. After all, without Shaman Bone Tablets outside the Tribe, they had to be extremely careful in everything. Getting injured would be a troublesome matter.

“Yes.” Qing Yan immediately nodded and began to explain, “After the Tribe was attacked by the Black Snake Tribe, Yue and I led the Tribe’s people to run into the forest…”

He was very calm when he first started narrating, but once he talked about the companions who were eaten by Mix Blood Ferocious Beasts, he could not help but feel sad.

When he talked about the harassment from other Wanderers, he became indignant once more.

In his narration, many details were not very clear, so Yue helped to fill in those details.

Su Bai listened very attentively and asked, blinking his black eyes, “Do you know the whereabouts of other Tribe members?”

This was the most important point. Although many people from the Tribe had been captured before, many had also scattered. If they could find the previously scattered people before attacking the Black Snake Tribe and reclaiming the Ancestral Land, their fighting force would be boosted.

“No, we tried to find them during that time, but because Yue and I didn’t have Shaman Bone Tablets, and we had to protect the others, we couldn’t really conduct a proper search.” Qing Yan shook his head.

“Several times we could have caught up with people that seem to be from our Tribe, but because it was inconvenient to bring everyone along with us, we would eventually lose track of them.” Yue helplessly said.

Su Bai understood their situation. It was difficult to travel with more than twenty other people, let alone when none of them were Totem Warriors. Just protecting them was difficult enough, not to mention searching for other Tribesmen and continuing to hunt for sustenance.

“I understand. You should rest well tonight. Tomorrow, the Chieftain will help you get familiar with the Tribe.” Su Bai comforted.

The Tribe was not the same as before. There were many places they needed to get familiar with, especially when they had never seen this place before.

At this moment, the other Tribesmen must also want to see Qing Yan and the others, and could not wait to send their regards.

“Yes, Shaman.” Qing Yan and Yue nodded.

“Chieftain, after familiarising them with the Tribe tomorrow, let them train with the recurve bow.” Su Bai instructed.

Although the reunion was a joyful one, training could not be neglected. After all, they had been away from the Tribe for quite some time and the agenda pf eliminating the Black Snake Tribe was approaching.

They most likely had not been practising certain combat skills for a long time. It was a good opportunity to refamiliarize themselves while also training with the recurve bow.

Anyway, when it came time to attack the Black Snake Tribe and reclaim the Ancestral Land, the recurve bow would be better than close combat.

“Understood. I will have them start training like the others.” Yan Jiao nodded in response.

Qing Yan looked confused and hesitated before asking, “Shaman, what is a recurve bow? Is it the weapon that Cheng Shi used to injure me?”

He recalled what Cheng Shi had said at the time, something about the weapon being made by the Shaman.

“Cheng Shi injured you? What happened?” Su Bai was clearly not informed of this.

“Well, I was just…” Qing Yan recounted the incident in the forest yesterday when he encountered Shu Feng.

Su Bai raised an eyebrow, not expecting this turn of events. He smiled and said, “You’ll know tomorrow. Just go and rest for now.”

“Alright,” Qing Yan nodded, bewildered.
