I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 850, The Muttering Ban Ye

The boy had finally waited for the rain to stop and was very fortunate to find an injured wild rabbit.

This timely discovery helped him recover some stamina. Otherwise, he might truly have starved to death.

Just eating those berries was useless. Berries didn’t have as much energy as meat.

Eating berries every day would lead to malnutrition. Most importantly, it provided no Stamina.

People must supplement carbohydrates. Without carbohydrates, there was no vitality, let alone the ability to fight those Ferocious Beasts.

So, this injured wild rabbit was the perfect supplement for him. Otherwise, if he encountered a Ferocious Beast again, he could only obediently submit to his fate.

“This rain really came at a bad time. It made me search for ages without finding any dry firewood,” the boy kept muttering.

The wild rabbit in his hands had been eaten down to just bones. The oil stains all over his mouth showed he had eaten very hastily.

After all, he hadn’t eaten meat for so long. Now that a wild rabbit was finally before his eyes, if he didn’t eat quickly, what if it disappeared?

“However, I can’t continue like this. Sooner or later, I’ll be eaten by Ferocious Beasts,” the boy said bitterly.

He scanned the surroundings in a circle, only settling down after confirming there were no problems.

The boy had been nervous for a long period. Entering the primitive forest couldn’t be helped.

Even the most rational person would be unable to endure it after a day or two, because the dangers in the primitive forest were truly too great.

One had to watch out not only for those man-eating Ferocious Beasts, but also for those very small animals.

Not just these creatures, he also had to be extra careful with those plants. Besides that, there were the traps set by people.

“I must find a Tribe, otherwise no matter how capable I am, I can’t hold on,” the boy gritted his teeth and stood up.

The boy’s name was Ban Ye. From childhood to now, he had always been part of the Wandering Tribes.

However, he was talented. Though only in his teens, he was already a Mid-Grade Totem Warrior. He could be called a rare genius.

It was precisely relying on this powerful talent that he had never pledged allegiance to any Tribe.

However, what made him change his mind now was mainly that a few days ago, the Wandering Tribe he had been following all died in one night.

Ban Ye didn’t show any particularly sorrowful expression, because for him this was already habitual.

From childhood to now, he had joined too many Wandering Tribes and witnessed the demise of many Wandering Tribes.

His parents had been people of a Wandering Tribe. Born and raised in such an environment, whether he wanted to get used to it or not, he had to get used to it.

Even though Ban Ye’s strength was powerful, without a team beside him, he still couldn’t hold on alone.

“But I’ve walked for so many days and still haven’t discovered a Wandering Tribe. Aren’t Wandering Tribes usually composed of a ton of people?” Ban Ye had become accustomed to muttering to himself.

Even when he was in a Wandering Tribe, he was the type who didn’t like to talk much.

Because he felt no one could understand him, and he didn’t want to understand others. With this personality, naturally no one was willing to communicate with him.

So he had developed the habit of constantly talking to himself. He actually felt this was quite good.

“If I can’t find one soon, I won’t be able to hold on either,” Ban Ye said bitterly.

That was right. These past days, he had been searching the forest for Wandering Tribe people, wanting to pledge allegiance to a Wandering Tribe again.

However, this was not an easy matter. Otherwise, he would not have ended up in his current state.

In the first few days of searching, the boy had still managed quite well. He did not need to worry too much about the Ferocious Beasts that appeared.

Those he could deal with, he naturally hunted and ate. Those he could not deal with, he had sufficient Stamina to escape from.

However, the current boy no longer had his previous stamina. He had to find a Wandering Tribe to rest properly for a while.

“If there’s really no choice, I’ll have to go to a Tribe? But those Tribes have too many rules…” Ban Ye entered self-question-and-answer mode.

He had considered going to Tribes with Shamans and knew those Tribes would definitely take him in.

After all, he was a Mid Grade Totem Warrior. No Tribe would want to pass up such a good combatant.

But when he thought about how those Tribes would have so many rules, he couldn’t help feeling a bit resistant.

“Forget it, I’ll search for Wandering Tribes first. If there’s really no other way, I’ll go to those Tribes with many rules,” Ban Ye pursed his lips.

He still felt a bit unsatisfied. Clearly that wild rabbit hadn’t filled his stomach.

*Gurgle gurgle…* Ban Ye reached out to touch his stomach and said, “Let’s climb up a tree to see if there are any bird eggs. If I’m lucky, I might find more.”

The boy slung the spear across his back, casually ate the berries he had just picked from nearby, and began climbing tree branches to search for bird nests.

He had spent quite some time filling his stomach this way. There were very many birds in the forest.

The birds in the primitive forest weren’t all very small in size. There were also those with exceptionally large bodies. The eggs they laid would naturally be larger.

*Rustle rustle…*

Ban Ye climbed up a tree he considered relatively tall and began gazing into the distance.

He planned to search for the next destination. He had to choose carefully, otherwise he might select an area with very many Ferocious Beasts again.

The boy did not know if it was bad luck or what, but every time he agonised over choosing a route, that place would often have plenty of Ferocious Beasts.

“I feel I can’t waste time like this anymore. I need to find those Small Tribes. The rainy season is about to arrive.” Ban Ye frowned, continuing, “I must enter a Tribe before the rainy season, otherwise I’ll die in the forest.”

The rainy season was a period everyone worried about, even for a boy who didn’t like being restricted.

If he still couldn’t find a suitable Wandering Tribe before the rainy season arrived, Ban Ye would decide to go to a Small Tribe.

“Small Tribes shouldn’t have that many rules, right? Once the rainy season ends, I’ll leave,” Ban Ye muttered to himself with satisfaction.

He felt this was most appropriate. Small Tribes were much easier to deal with than Large Tribes.

*Rustle rustle…*

Ban Ye simply gave up searching for bird eggs and began heading in the direction he thought a Tribe would be.

He planned to first find a Tribe as a backup option, then continue searching for those Wandering Tribes.

If there was really no other way, he would go to the backup target. But the prerequisite was that the backup target had to have meat to eat.

This was also something Ban Ye would consider. He couldn’t very well go to a Tribe that didn’t even have meat to eat, could he?

So the boy would observe a Tribe’s situation from afar. If it was not suitable, he would immediately search for the next backup target.

“I’m really too clever,” Ban Ye couldn’t help but let his lips curve slightly upward.
