I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Chapter 195: What if We Lose?

*Chirp chirp…*

*Hoot hoot…*

In the misty night, Ye Jiu was resting on a large tree, with Bai Si also standing nearby.

Their current position was the best for their current objective. It allowed them to directly observe the entire Black Snake Tribe. Of course, they were still a far off distance from the Tribe, so they could only see the general outline, with certain objects not being extremely clear.

Since finding this spot, they had been constantly observing the Black Snake Tribe’s every move from this large tree. The only drawback was that they could not light a campfire. Once a campfire was lit, there would be smoke.

If there was suddenly smoke from a large tree, it would be very obvious, immediately exposing their position.

When they ate each day, they could only go to a far-off place, find a spot with denser forest, and start lighting a campfire to roast meat.

One person would cook, then bring it back after eating. Although this was safer, the meat brought back would be cold.

In this regard, the two often just ate fruits, only eating meat once a day, mainly because they did not have much time to hunt.

They had to constantly watch the Black Snake Tribe’s every move to ensure they knew exactly what the enemy’s strength was.

This was also what Su Bai had instructed them to do, to constantly watch the Black Snake Tribe’s every move, because intelligence was crucial to whether they could win. If the intelligence was inaccurate, Su Bai’s plan would also be affected, and it would be difficult to salvage the situation then.

“Boss, someone else has come out of the Black Snake Tribe,” Bai Si said, her brown eyes wide open.

Ye Jiu stood up, her cold eyes staring directly at the wooden houses of the Black Snake Tribe, and coldly said, “We saw this same person two days ago.”

When they were in the tree, they would roughly record the number of people in the Black Snake Tribe, how many slaves there were, how many Totem Warriors, and how many Warrior Trainees.

“Oh, oh, oh.” Bai Si sat down sheepishly. The monkey eared girl had one flaw – she was very bad at remembering people and easily forgot. So, most of the people coming and going in the Black Snake Tribe were remembered by the wolf eared girl, while the monkey eared girl at most just remembered the numbers.

“Several days have passed, the approximate number of people in the Black Snake Tribe is probably what Ah Ruo went back to report.” Ye Jiu calmly said.

Ah Ruo had stayed with them in the big tree for many days, until they confirmed the approximate number of people in the Black Snake Tribe, then she returned to the Tribe to report the news.

The wolf eared girls watched the comings and goings of the Black Snake Tribe every day, learning the approximate total number of people, which was over two thousand. Among them, there were over two hundred Totem Warriors, over three hundred Warrior Trainees, and about four hundred slaves.

These were the answers they got from watching the Black Snake Tribe every day, and this was also the answer Su Bai was seeking.

“I wonder why the Shaman wants to know the number of people in the Black Snake Tribe?” Bai Si naively asked.

“Only by knowing the number of people in the Black Snake Tribe can the Shaman know how to deal with them.” Ye Jiu guessed.

Bai Si tilted her head, swinging her monkey tail, and she asked in a soft voice, “Does Boss know the Shaman’s plan?”

Ye Jiu gently tossed the fruit she had been holding into her mouth from below, and gracefully said, “I don’t know.”

“I thought Boss knew?” Bai Si said, sitting on the edge of the branch, swinging her snow-white legs, and continued to mutter, “But can the Flame Dragon Tribe really fight against the Black Snake Tribe?”

The monkey eared girl had been pondering this question for days. Although she had joined the Flame Dragon Tribe, received dried meat every day and felt great being led by the Shaman, when it came to confronting the Black Snake Tribe, she still held doubts. After all, the current situation of the Flame Dragon Tribe was clear, and even with the people they brought, there were still less than 400 combatants.

She had been observing the situation of the Black Snake Tribe these days. Their numbers were seven or eight times that of the Flame Dragon Tribe. This obviously looked like the Black Snake Tribe’s overwhelming victory, so the monkey eared girl really did not understand why the Shaman wanted to wage war with them.

“I don’t know about that. I just know I need to do what the Shaman has instructed us to do.” Ye Jiu said, chewing on the fruit.

Bai Si propped herself up with her hands behind her, looked up at the starry sky, and asked, “Boss, can I ask you a question?”

Ye Jiu rolled her eyes and said, “If you have a question, just ask. It is not like you to hold back.”

The monkey eared girl was never like this before, she would always ask questions directly, not like now, seeming so thoughtful.

“If we lose after attacking the Black Snake Tribe, then what? Where should we go?” Bai Si hesitated a bit when asking this question.

Ye Jiu also looked up at the Moon in the sky, the moonlight falling on her delicate face, making the scene particularly beautiful.

She paused for a moment, then said, “You’re asking what we should do if we lose, right? I don’t think we will necessarily lose.”

Bai Si looked at the wolf eared girl in surprise and asked, “Boss, what do you mean we won’t necessarily lose?”

“The strength of the Flame Dragon Tribe is not just what it appears on the surface. At the very least, that is what I feel. Also, our Shaman is definitely not someone rash.” Ye Jiu said, fiddling with her hair.

“The strength of the Flame Dragon Tribe?” Bai Si scratched her head and muttered, “But there are so few people.”

She really felt that the power disparity between the two Tribes was too great, how could they confront them?

“I’m not sure, but I feel our Shaman is very different. He is very different from the Shamans of our previous Tribes.” Ye Jiu said, blinking her grey eyes.

Bai Si’s cute face was full of confusion as she asked, “How is our Shaman different? Because he’s very young? And very good-looking?”

The monkey eared girl only thought that Su Bai was very good-looking. He gave others a very comfortable feeling, mainly because he was very young. This made him not give off an old-fashioned impression to youths like her.

Ye Jiu looked at the monkey eared girl’s expression and asked with a light chuckle. “You haven’t fallen for the Shaman, have you?”

Bai Si’s cute little face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly tried to clear things up, saying, “Of course not! I just think the Shaman is very young…”

The monkey eared girl’s tail kept swinging non-stop, the blush on her face showed no sign of fading. When she first saw Su Bai, she felt he gave off a particularly different feeling. He exuded a clean and neat feeling, not like the sticky and stinky feeling like the others in the Tribe.

“Oh? Is that really it? No other feelings?” Ye Jiu asked, raising her slender eyebrows.

“Of… of course, Boss, are you doubting me? I never lie.” Bai Si said, puffing up her cheeks.

Ye Jiu’s lips curled up slightly as she shook her head and said, “It’s okay if you like him, but you can’t be the Shaman Priestess.”

After all, the monkey eared girl was now a Totem Warrior, it was impossible for her to be the Shaman Priestess.

“Boss, I’m tired. I’m going to sleep first. I’ll come replace you later.” Bai Si said shyly, climbing to a higher branch.

Ye Jiu smiled, her grey eyes continuing to stare at the Black Snake Tribe, with a different colour in her gaze.
