The group of around twenty people marched impressively into the forest, each person’s expression extremely solemn.
It was as if they were heading into battle. Thus, everyone wore expressions as if they were ready to die.
However, among these twenty or so people, one person was quite different. His expression remained rather relaxed. On the contrary, he showed some anticipation. His black eyes continuously continued to survey the surroundings. Naturally, it was Su Bai.
He did not feel much danger from this journey, not only because he could use Shaman Techniques and Taming. It was also because the number of Totem Warriors brought out this time exceeded his expectations. Usually, the Hunting Team would only bring seven or eight Totem Warriors.
Now, there were twenty-something people in the team, with Totem Warriors making up more than two-thirds of the number.
Su Bai knew this was something Yan Jiao had arranged. He got worried about the potential dangers and had sent in more people.
“Shaman, during this journey, you must stay close to me. You are not allowed to stray too far from me.” Team Leader Cang Shi was the most concerned one.
The team members’ safety and whether they could bring back prey now seemed like minor issues.
The most serious matter right now was protecting the Shaman’s safety. After all, the Shaman was the hope of the entire Tribe.
Cang Shi was under immense pressure, needing to protect both his team members and the Shaman.
“Don’t worry, I won’t go anywhere this time, I’ll definitely stay close to you.” Su Bai gave him a confidence boost.
He certainly understood the Team Leader’s current feelings, so to help ease his tension, he could only say as much.
When he got to the Hunting Ground, he would have many things to look for, not just things useful for the Tribe.
He even wanted to look for some experimental items. Back on Earth, he had read many books. Many books were about wilderness survival or Primitive Tribes, so he wanted to find some of the things mentioned in those books.
Those things included not just food and tools, but even herbs. Though, such things were secondary.
Most importantly, Su Bai wanted to find certain beasts that could be Tamed and be used by the Tribe.
These beasts were: cattle, sheep, and horses. The Tribe needed them to free up Human labour.
The stone mill for papermaking was definitely needed, and things like farming or cavalry would need horses.
If the Tribe could raise cattle, sheep, and horses, the Tribe’s situation would be completely different.
As long as they developed husbandry, these animals could gradually be bred to meet the Tribe’s needs.
As long as they did not eat these animals for a while and let them focus on breeding, in no time, they would have a batch of lambs or foals. The Tribe could then expand the breeding range. Within a year or two, the Tribe would definitely become a Large Tribe.
Initially, Su Bai was worried about what to do without cattle, sheep, and horses. After all, in Primitive Tribes, these animals were surely all wild.
Wild animals were not easy to handle – their wild nature was still too strong. This made them difficult to raise in pens.
If he used his Taming Skill at this time to make them docile and obedient, their offspring might be the same.
Over time they might be able to breed out relatively docile animals. In that way, the Hunting Team would not need to keep risking their lives out in the Wilderness to hunt. The Tribe would also have enough food supply.
Of course, the benefits of raising cattle and horses were not just these. Such animals would in general greatly help the entire Tribe’s development.
“You must all protect the Shaman with all your might. Absolutely nothing bad can happen to the Shaman.” Cang Shi seriously instructed the other Hunting Team members.
His current appearance was completely different from before. Previously, he seemed rather simple and honest, but now, when giving orders, he felt like a completely different person.
“Yes!” All the other Hunting Team members immediately responded.
At this moment, the pressure they felt was heavy. Besides facing sudden Ferocious Beast attacks, they had to constantly watch out for the Shaman’s safety.
Su Bai could feel everyone’s tension, and after thinking, said, “Everyone, relax. No need to be so tense. I chose to come with you because I’m confident I can protect myself.”
After hearing the Shaman speak, everyone’s tense nerves began to gradually relax.
“You know my power. I’m not that easy to defeat.” Su Bai’s expression was no longer as relaxed as when they first entered the forest. Instead, he became rather serious. “You should have seen the changes in the Tribe, and what I can do. I decided to come with you because I’m confident.”
He originally did not want to say this, but seeing how tense the Hunting Team members were, he had to give them a confidence boost. Otherwise, being too cautious might actually cause problems.
“…” The Hunting Team members continued watching the Shaman.
“You all know the power of the Shaman Bone Tablet I gave you. When I use Shaman Techniques on myself, it’s much more powerful than what the tablets can do.”
Su Bai blinked his black eyes, continuing, “Moreover, I know more than just that one Healing Shaman Technique.”
Only by speaking this way would the Hunting Team members feel at ease, because in Primitive Tribes, Shaman Technique were seen as the strongest force.
Even Totem Warriors could not defeat a Shaman in combat. Su Bai revealed he knew more than one Shaman Technique to reassure everyone.
Cang Shi seemed encouraged, nodding heavily. “I understand, Shaman.”
“We all understand.” The other Hunting Team members responded in unison.
Yan Hua blinked her red eyes watching Su Bai, again seeing his imposing manner.
The last time he was was during the attack on the Black Snake Tribe. That was when she felt how extraordinary Su Bai was.
This time, the cow horned girl had this feeling again. It was even stronger, and somewhat different.
As for what was different, she could not quite say, but it made one want to look at the Shaman twice.
The cat eared girl beside her naturally felt this too, so when Su Bai was speaking, she kept watching with her blue eyes.
After finishing his speech, Su Bai returned to his relaxed state, smiling slightly. “Let’s continue moving.”
