I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Chapter 215: It’s All True

Chapter 215: It’s All True

Da Shan made rapid blinks. While carrying the water bucket on his shoulder, he helplessly said, “I just hope they’re alright.”

“They’ll be fine. As long as the Shaman is there, our Flame Dragon Tribe will surely continue to live on.” Ah Hu confidently said.

“Yes, as long as the Shaman is there, our Tribe will definitely continue to live.” Da Shan nodded.

“Keep your voice down, you don’t want those Black Snake Tribe guys to hear us, do you?” Ah Hu deliberately said.

He knew Da Shan was famously cautious and careful. Yet, he was now openly discussing such sensitive matters.

Da Shan rolled his eyes and added, “You know, I really envy you. You are always so optimistic.”

Ah Hu shifted the wooden bucket to his other shoulder and asked, “Hey, it’s not like we have a choice, right? We’ll escape someday, won’t we?”

“Yes, we’ll escape someday.” Da Shan nodded firmly.

The two of them, along with several other slaves, stepped into the forest. They were going to pick berries in the forest.

After picking the berries, they would fetch water. On one side of the Ancestral Land was a large river, and on the other side was a dense forest. Of course, there were also lakes in the forest, so they could fetch water and pick berries at the same time.

Those from the Black Snake Tribe were afraid the slaves might jump into the river and float away with the current, so they specifically had the slaves fetch water from the lake.

*Rustle, rustle…* The group entered the forest and slowly made their way towards the lake, each person looking around cautiously.

At this moment, there were three people up in a tree, watching Da Shan and the others who had just entered the forest.

Bai Si blinked her eyes, looking at Da Shan and the others on the ground, and whispered, “Boss, they should be the slaves from the Black Snake Tribe, right?”

The monkey eared girl could tell from the leaves they were wearing, and the fact that they were all carrying wooden buckets, they were slave.

“It seems so. Let’s go complete the task the Shaman has assigned us.” Ye Jiu said.

“Wait…!” Ah Ruo froze, her silver-white eyes scanning the people on the ground, seemingly trying to identify someone.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Bai Si asked, curious.

Ye Jiu raised an eyebrow and asked the sheep horned girl, “Do you recognize them?”

Ah Ruo, who had been quiet until now, kept nodding and excitedly said, “I know them, of course I know them.”

The sheep horned girl was originally from the Flame Dragon Tribe. Having stayed in the same Tribe for so long, she naturally had seen Da Shan and the others before.

“That’s great, this makes things easier.” A smile appeared on Ye Jiu’s usually cold face.

The wolf eared girl and the monkey eared girl knew that the Black Snake Tribe sent people out to fetch water. After all, they had been monitoring the Tribe for so long.

It was only the sheep horned girl who was not that clear about this detail, as she had been travelling back and forth between their Tribe and this place. She naturally did not have the time to familiarise with the whole situation of the Black Snake Tribe.

Moreover, when the Black Snake Tribe had sent slaves out before, she had not seen Da Shan and Ah Hu. This was her first time seeing the two of them.

Ah Ruo nodded and said, “Yes, since they’re people we know. This will be much easier to handle then.”

“But you don’t recognize the ones behind them, will that be a problem?” Bai Si asked.

“It shouldn’t be. They’re all slaves too. If they hear they can have three full meals a day, they’ll be more than willing to cooperate,” Ye Jiu analysed.

“Definitely.” Ah Ruo nodded and was the first to jump down from the tree.

Da Shan heard the sound and became extremely nervous, shouting, “Ah Hu, there’s something there!”

Ah Hu also heard the noise and immediately dropped his wooden bucket, standing back-to-back with Da Shan, nervously saying, “It’s not a Ferocious Beast, right? We don’t have any Totem Warriors here, not even a Warrior Trainee.”

“It’s me.” Ah Ruo slowly walked out from the shadows.

The sheep horned girl tossed her silver-white hair behind her back and stood straight in front of Da Shan and the others, with Ye Jiu and the rest following behind.

Ah Hu’s eyes widened, his face showing shock as he called out, “You… you are… are you Ah Ruo?”

Almost all the Totem Warriors of the Flame Dragon Tribe were known to the people of the Tribe. Thus, it was not surprising that they recognized the sheep horned girl.

Da Shan also doubted his own eyes, rubbing them continuously as he asked in surprise, “Are you really Ah Ruo?”

Ah Ruo slowly nodded, her clear voice ringing out, “It’s me, Ah Ruo from the Flame Dragon Tribe.”

Ah Hu excitedly spun around twice on the spot, putting his hand to his head in amazement, “This… this is actually real, it’s really you.”

“How are you here?” Da Shan suppressed his excitement.

The slaves behind him were all stunned, not knowing what was going on. However, seeing that it was someone Da Shan and the others knew, they did not say anything. They  just quietly watched from the side.

“I’m here because the Shaman is going to rescue all of you.” Ah Ruo said, word by word.

“The Shaman is going to rescue us? Is that true?” Da Shan excitedly asked.

“Please save us too, we don’t want to stay in the Black Snake Tribe anymore…” The other slaves quickly said.

Ah Hu looked back at them and said, “Yes, please save them too. Even though they’re from other Tribes, being a slave here is truly miserable.”

“I came here to rescue all the slaves.” Ah Ruo said.

Da Shan peered over, looking at Ye Jiu and the others behind the sheep horned girl, and asked in confusion, “Just the two of you? How can you rescue us?”

“There are over four hundred of us, it will be very difficult…” Ah Hu added.

“We’re just here on behalf of the Shaman to check on the situation first. The Tribe will come to rescue you soon.” Ah Ruo said with a serious expression, continuing, “But we need your help.”

Da Shan nodded heavily and asked, “What can we do to help the Shaman?”

“If we can escape and be of any help, we’re willing.” The other slaves chimed in.

Ah Ruo nodded with satisfaction and stressed, “This is something only you can accomplish.”

Da Shan suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. He gulped and he asked, “What should we do?”

“Today, just do as you usually do. Fetch water and go back. What you need to do after you return is the key.” Ah Ruo looked up at the slaves and continued, “Tell the other slaves that our Shaman will take them in. When they join us, they can have three full meals a day, and…”

The sheep horned girl explained everything the Shaman had instructed, deliberately speaking slowly to ensure they did not miss anything.

“Alright, that’s simple. Leave it to us.” Da Shan did not know the current situation of the Tribe, he just knew it was the Shaman’s words, so he was willing to do it.

The other slaves, hearing the sheep horned girl’s words, looked particularly excited and kept asking, “Is everything your Shaman said true?”

“It’s all true,” Ah Ruo said seriously, blinking her silver-white eyes.
