I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Night fell, and the entire forest transformed from the daytime’s dark green to pitch black in an instant.

Most of Black Snake Tribesmen were already asleep, with only some Totem Warriors patrolling the outskirts. The rest were almost all in their wooden houses, and would not come out at night.

This was the case for every Tribe. Since there was nothing to do at night, and it was pitch black, which made it impossible to see one’s own hand in front of their face. At this time, it was better to hide in the wooden houses and start making babies; their night activities were limited to just that.

Da Shan was currently lying on a pile of grass. He slowly opened his eyes, eyeballs rapidly moving left and right. After making sure no one was around, he turned and whispered, “Ah Hu, are you ready?”

Ah Hu also opened his eyes and nodded, “Ready.”

Da Shan nodded in response and turned to the other side, softly calling out, “Huang Ye, are you asleep?”

The man called Huang Ye did not respond, as Da Shan was calling out in the softest voice possible.

Huang Ye frowned slightly, slowly turned his head, and complained, “What is it? It’s the middle of the night, why aren’t you asleep?”

He was also from the Flame Dragon Tribe. He was over twenty years old, with yellow hair and yellow eyes that matched his name perfectly. In the middle of the top of his head was a prominent single horn, his trademark. Just by seeing the horn, one would know it was Huang Ye.

Huang Ye, who was originally very sleepy, suddenly became alert upon hearing this. He opened his yellow eyes wide and asked, “What did you just say?”

“I said, do you want to leave this place?” Cheng Shi opened his mouth wide, but his voice was still very soft.

“What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by leaving this place?” Huang Ye suspected the others were dreaming. He gave him a white-eyed look and continued to close his eyes to sleep. He did not want to deal with someone who was not fully awake.

*Psh, psh!* Cheng Shi pursed his lips, making onomatopoeic sounds, and continued, “I’m serious. The Shaman is coming to rescue us.”

Huang Ye suddenly opened his yellow eyes in surprise and exclaimed, “What did you just say? The Shaman is coming to rescue us?”

“That’s right, but we need to do something.” Da Shan nodded.

Huang Ye became serious and repeatedly asked, “As long as we can be rescued, it’s better than anything. What does the Shaman want us to do?”

Da Shan told Huang Ye everything that Ah Ruo and the others had instructed, explaining in great detail to ensure the others would believe him.

After listening, Huang Ye did not believe his ears and repeatedly asked, “Is everything you said true?”

“Of course it’s true, but before that, we must do what the Shaman asked us to do.” Da Shan said.

“Alright, I’ll go tell them now,” Huang Ye said excitedly, turning to tell the people sleeping next to him.

This was how the slaves were: they laid out a large pile of hay on the outskirts of the Tribe, and everyone slept on it like dumplings in a pot, with men in one row and women in another.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ah Hu was doing the same as Da Shan, repeating Ah Ruo’s words to the people sleeping next to him.

With Da Shan and Ah Hu as the centre, the two gradually spread the news to everyone.

This was their only option. There were too many people watching during the day, so it would be too obvious to speak directly. They could only quietly carry out the plan while everyone was asleep at night.

At this moment, there was a black dot circling in the sky above the Black Snake Tribe. That black dot was Cheng Shi.

After receiving Su Bai’s order, the boy had set out immediately, constantly watching the situation of the Black Snake Tribe from the sky.

He needed to ensure that there was no one near where the slaves were sleeping before he could descend.

Cheng Shi frowned as he looked at the ground, seeing only pitch blackness. He mumbled to himself, hoping nothing would go wrong.

The boy was very worried. Finally, there was a big mission, but he was very nervous.

He continued to circle in the air for more than ten minutes. After ensuring there was no one nearby, he began to slowly descend.

As he approached the Black Snake Tribe, he folded his black wings and quickly dropped.

*Thud!* The boy fell to the ground quickly with his wings folded.

“That hurts,” Cheng Shi complained in a low voice, reaching out to touch his wings to check for injuries.

“Who are you?” Da Shan asked with a frown. He was about to shout but saw that the other party was still just a child.

Cheng Shi heard the familiar voice and immediately turned his head, asking softly, “Are you Brother Da Shan?”

Da Shan also recognized the other’s voice and repeatedly asked, “Are you Cheng Shi?”

Cheng Shi made a shushing gesture with one hand while feeling his wings with the other, “Yes, it’s me.”

Da Shan was taken aback. He pulled the other down quickly to lie down, as it would be disastrous if those patrolling discovered them.

He pressed down on the boy’s wings and instructed, “Quickly hide your wings, don’t let them be discovered.”

“Right, right, right.” Cheng Shi tightly folded his slender black wings.

Da Shan looked around and asked, “How did you come here? Does the Shaman have new arrangements?”

“Yes, the Shaman is going to attack the Black Snake Tribe tonight, so the Shaman told me to tell you to quickly gather everyone from other Tribes at the main gate.” Cheng Shi narrated word for word.

Da Shan doubted his ears. He reached out to dig them, and asked again, “What did you just say? The Shaman is attacking the Black Snake Tribe tonight?”

“Yes, the Shaman is serious. He will attack the Black Snake Tribe tonight, so he wants people to gather at the main gate to make it easier for him to attack.” Cheng Shi said.

“But attacking at night is very disadvantageous for us too. We would not be able to see either,” Da Shan worried.

“The Shaman has a way to solve this. We just need to follow his instructions.” Cheng Shi continued.

Da Shan paused. At this point, they could only listen to the Shaman’s words. He said in a solemn tone, “I understand.”

“Is this really what we should do?” Ah Hu, who was nearby, also heard everything clearly.

“Start moving them now. The Shaman will send people to support you.” Cheng Shi arranged.

Da Shan nodded, turned to Huang Ye, and repeated what the boy had just  said, then told him to continue spreading the message.

Ah Hu did the same, turning to the people beside him and starting to convey the Shaman’s new orders. At this point, this was all they could do.

Cheng Shi stayed beside Da Shan for half an hour and asked, “How long will it take for you to reach the main gate? I need to go back and report to the Shaman.”

Da Shan moved his eyes and said, “You can tell him once you fly back. We’re very close to the main gate here, so it won’t take long.”

“Alright,” Cheng Shi nodded.
