Starting With A Space Battleship - Chapter 454
Chapter 454: The acting clan leader
Translator: 549690339
The clan leader ye tengge woke up, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Shanhai and Shanhe took the lead and entered the cave to check on the condition of their clan leader.
!!
The rest of the people could only wait outside the cave to see what was going on. While they were waiting, it didn’t stop them from glaring at li xiaonian.
No matter how thick li xiaonian’s skin was, he could only turn his head to the other side and ignore the group’s anger when he was being stared at by a group of natives.
“I’ll endure it. After my injuries recover, I’ll leave. Do you really think I want to stay here?”
forget it … Since I’ve received help from the Wildwind tribe, I’ll leave them some wealth as a reward.
These days, li xiaonian had personally experienced the life of a Savage. It was hard for him not to have a deep impression of it.
Putting everything else aside, salt and iron alone were the two most crucial problems.
&Nbsp; without enough salt, one would not have enough strength. The salt that the tribe used was from the salt mine that they had picked up from the outside. It was a gray stone with white crystals on it.
&Nbsp; if one wanted to eat salt, they had to lick it with their tongue. The 36 people of the tribe took turns to lick a stone covered in mud. Just thinking about it made one feel disgusted.
Salt was a problem, and the iron mine was also an important problem. The hunting teams in the tribe only used spikes as weapons, and they were very precious. As long as there was enough food, the fighting power of the tribe would definitely soar.
Of course, li xiaonian had a way to solve these two problems. Moreover, it was very easy to solve. As for the edible salt, it could be dissolved, filtered, and then steamed again. As for smelting iron, the only way was to find an iron ore and make a primitive wind furnace. By raising the temperature of the flame, the iron ore could be smelted. Although the pig iron produced could not be compared to steel, it was definitely a qualitative leap for primitive people.
Just as li xiaonian was considering whether he should look for the clan leader and propose a plan.
Shanhai walked out of the cave with a sullen face. He stared at li xiaonian unhappily.”The chief is calling for you.”
“Oh.”
Li xiaonian responded and went into the cave under everyone’s gaze.
Ye tengge’s wrinkled face was pale, as if he was about to die at any moment. Li xiaonian said worriedly,”Chief, are you alright?”
“He won’t die for now,” ye tengge waved his hand and said with all his might. After taking two deep breaths, ye tengge continued, as you can see, I’ve used up a lot of my life force to treat the wounded. So, I’ll fall into a deep sleep for the next few months to let my body heal itself …
“……”
Li xiaonian was slightly taken aback, but he went along with the other party’s words.”Tribe leader, don’t worry. While you’re asleep, I’ll cooperate with Captain Shanhai and listen to his commands. Even though I’ve only recovered a small part of my injuries, I should still be able to contribute to the tribe.”
Sleep for a few months? It seemed … The clan leader’s life spell had taken a lot of damage, and the price he had paid was high.
“No,” she said.
Ye tengge waved his hand and said with a serious face, I didn’t call you over to ask you to do these things. I hope … That while I’m asleep, you can take my place and take care of my people. Most of the people in my tribe are foolish and have no opinions of their own, but you’re different. You’ve definitely received higher education. I hope that you … Can lead the tribe to continue living. In addition … The tribe has to move as soon as possible. There are signs of spatial tears in the surrounding space. Once the Dragon race discovers this, they will definitely send out a large number of dragonmen to investigate. The wild wind tribe will also be destroyed. Previously, we did not have enough food and would die of hunger if we move rashly. But now, we have enough food …”
After saying that, ye tengge couldn’t hold on any longer. He slowly closed his eyes … And fell into a deep sleep.
“……”
Li xiaonian’s face stiffened, and he was a little confused.
Letting a stranger like me be the clan leader? I haven’t agreed to take care of a group of illiterate natives yet. You fell into a deep sleep too suddenly.
Li xiaonian had reason to believe that the old man had fallen asleep on purpose.
Ye tengge was unconscious, so li xiaonian didn’t even have the right to refuse, but he also knew very well that the spatial crack the old patriarch had mentioned had something to do with his appearance.
In other words, his appearance had caused an anomaly in the space, and it would attract the dragon clan’s experts to investigate.
After all, the dragon clan had been sealed here for God knows how many years, isolated from the world. They couldn’t absorb star power or use any space items. Under such circumstances, it was extremely difficult for the dragon clan to improve their overall strength. They could only eat and wait for death.
Under such circumstances, it would take more than a day or two for the Dragon Tribe to escape. Any spatial fluctuations were a major event for the Dragon Tribe. They could not miss a single detail.
Forget it … He could only swallow the bitter fruit that he had caused.
Li xiaonian was a little sullen, but the two brothers, Shanhai and Shanhe, were even more sullen.
Just a moment ago, the two of them were planning to kick li xiaonian out of the clan. However, the next moment, the clan leader actually appointed June, an unfamiliar outsider, as the clan leader.
It was hard for them to accept it, but this was the clan leader’s repeated instructions, so they had to obey.
“Chief…Chieftain.”
The two brothers, Shanhai and Shanhe, bowed to li xiaonian with great difficulty.
Li xiaonian looked at Shanhai curiously,”I’m the clan head. Are you … Going to just accept your fate?” How about … I give you the position of clan leader? After all, I’m an outsider and I’m unfamiliar with everything here. It’s hard for me to convince the masses.”
This was a small tribe with only thirty-odd people. If one had to say who was most likely to be the next tribe leader, it would be Shanhai. This fellow’s strength … It could only be said that he was outstanding within the tribe. He wasn’t slow-witted, but rather shrewd.
Shanhai clenched his fists tightly, his eyes almost spitting fire. But when he recalled the instructions of the old chief, he could only suppress his anger.”Please don’t joke around, clan leader.”
Li xiaonian shrugged. I’m not joking. If you’re willing, I’ll give you the position of clan leader. Then, I’ll leave obediently. Of course, the condition is that I need some food.
He suddenly understood that there was no need for him to be so thick-skinned and stay here. As long as he had enough food, he could find a place, dig a hole, and hide. As long as he had enough time, his injuries would definitely recover.
Although he couldn’t use his star power and his strength had been reduced by many levels, he still felt that he could live freely with his physical strength.
Seeing that li xiaonian wasn’t joking, Shanhai was slightly stunned. He struggled for a moment, but in the end, his firm back softened. With a pleading look, he said,”It was my fault before. Clan leader, please … Lead us to live.”
Migration was a matter of life and death for every member of the tribe. If it was not handled properly, it could lead to the extermination of the tribe. In the past, with the old chief around, he only had to listen to orders. The chief would take care of everything that required thinking.
But now, if he were to lead the tribe to migrate, he suddenly felt afraid.
Li xiaonian was a little surprised. He nodded. it’s not impossible for me to be the next clan leader. As long as I am the next clan leader, my words are orders, and you must obey them. If you obey on the surface but disobey on the inside, I’ll leave on my own.
“Yes.”
Shanhai’s face was filled with bitterness.
……
After walking out of the cave, Shanhai motioned for the tribe members to gather at the entrance.
Shanhai said in a low voice, ” the old chief is trying to heal us. His body can’t support it and he will fall into a long sleep. This time, it may be a month or even a few months. During this time, it will be difficult for the old chief to wake up. Before the chief fell into a deep sleep, he solemnly instructed that we should start now …
&Nbsp; Shanhai raised his hand, ” from now on, the acting chief position will be held by Liuyue. We have to listen to all of her orders and not disobey. Otherwise, we will be expelled from the tribe.
“……”
“……”
“……”
……
More than thirty pairs of eyes looked at li xiaonian in shock. Some of them were angry, some were in disbelief, but most of them were confused and numb.
The natives were used to listening to orders, especially since the words came from Shanhai’s mouth. Therefore, no one present jumped out to object. They just watched quietly.
Li xiaonian stood at the front of the crowd. He had originally wanted to give an inauguration speech, but looking at these people, he lost all interest and waved his hand.”Everyone, just do what you were originally supposed to do.”
Huala ~
The crowd dispersed.
“Are there any salt mines in the surrounding area?” li xiaonian asked, leaving behind the mountains, seas, and rivers.
Salt mine?
The two of them were stunned, not knowing what li xiaonian was talking about.
Helplessly, li xiaonian could only use the native language to say, ” “I’m talking about power crystals.”
Licking the salt mine gave them strength, so these Aboriginals called the salt mine strength crystals.
Before they moved, they had to store enough salt. Otherwise, they would have to travel a long distance. If there was no salt mine along the way and they could not find it, it would be a huge disaster for the entire tribe.
In addition, the temperature during the day was hot and stuffy, so salt was needed to marinate all the tusk elephant meat to prevent it from smelling.
Shanhai was the first to react. He pointed forward and said, ” there’s a small lake 50 miles away. We found the power crystals there. However, there are many ferocious beasts around, so it’s very dangerous and not easy to collect them.
Li xiaonian nodded. let’s rest and recuperate today. Everyone, eat your fill. Tomorrow, we’ll organize a team and go collect them together. Also … Tell the women to weave the bags. We need to collect a large number of power crystals.
In a grassland, where there was water, there would definitely be ferocious beasts. This was something that could not be helped.
……
Two hours later, the tusk elephant’s body was finally dismembered.
The elephant’s blood was stored in a mud jar, while the meat of various sizes was moved to the cave and covered with mud.
“Clan … Clan leader, do you want to drink? It’s so good, it’s sticky and a little sweet.” Er ya held up a pool of elephant blood that was about to solidify and handed it to li xiaonian, looking like she was asking for praise.
Li xiaonian shook his head. you can have it. I don’t like it. ”
He turned around and looked at the 30-odd people from the tribe. He was shocked when he saw them.
Over thirty people, with fresh blood on the corners of their mouths, were dancing with excitement. Those who didn’t know better would think that it was a group of zombies dancing wildly.
Li xiaonian shuddered and said to Shanhai,”Shanhai, tell everyone to be careful. The smell of blood can easily attract the beasts to attack us. Our residence can also be easily discovered by the beasts.”
Shanhai was slightly taken aback. clan leader, we have added a Dragon Gem to the blood. Even if there is a bloody smell, there will not be any ferocious beasts coming near.
With Shanhai’s explanation, li xiaonian finally understood that the so-called ‘Dragon Treasure’ was actually the feces of a Dragon. Hearing this, li xiaonian’s stomach started to churn.
Fortunately, he didn’t eat the so-called elephant blood.
In order to eat delicious roasted meat, li xiaonian had no choice but to do it himself. He used a fine fire to slowly roast the dissected elephant meat.
??~~
The elephant meat was being roasted bit by bit.
A group of Aboriginals were either lying on the grass or leaning against each other, trying to catch the fleas in their hair.
To the Aboriginals, eating and drinking to their hearts ‘content was definitely the greatest happiness.
The group of people looked at li xiaonian with curiosity.
“Burp …”
A skinny man with a round stomach burped, ” chief, what are you doing? don’t you use a big fire to roast meat? with such a small fire, How long will you roast it? ”
I don’t know. I feel that the chief is very strange. I don’t know which tribe he came from.
“It should be a large tribe, or perhaps … The wind chimes tribe?”
I don’t know. If we could join the wind chimes tribes … How good would that be? it’s said that the wind chimes tribe has an endless supply of food and high-grade strength crystals. The weapons they use are all made of pure iron.
……
While everyone was discussing, li xiaonian finally finished roasting a piece of meat.
With a light bite, the fresh and tender oil splashed. Li xiaonian’s eyes lit up, and he gobbled it up.
After eating pig feed for more than ten days, his mouth was so bland that it looked like a bird’s.
“Is it good?”
Er ya suddenly appeared beside li xiaonian. She swallowed her saliva and looked at li xiaonian pitifully.
Li xiaonian gobbled up the food and said in a muffled voice, ” “It’s not good.”
“Liar, it’s obviously delicious.”
Then, er ya pouted and muttered, ” “Chief … Chieftain, I’m your Savior.”
The corner of li xiaonian’s mouth twitched. He had no choice but to share a small portion with er ya.”You’ve already eaten so much, eat less.”
&Nbsp; the natives of the tribe had been hungry for too long. Now that they finally had meat, they all madly swallowed it, as if they were afraid that their stomachs wouldn’t be full. If it wasn’t for his orders, he was sure that these stupid natives would have eaten even more.
Er ya took li xiaonian’s roasted meat and took a bite. Her eyes shone, and under everyone’s curiosity, she showed what it meant to gobble up food.
“Chief, when are we moving?” Shanhai could not help but ask.
He remembered the old chief’s words. Now, li xiaonian didn’t seem to have any intention of moving, so he had to step out and remind him.
Li xiaonian turned to look at Shanhai.”What’s the rush? if we want to move, we have to make all kinds of preparations. If everything goes well tomorrow, we’ll move the day after tomorrow.”
“Alright,” he said.
Shanhai replied respectfully.
Suddenly.
Li xiaonian’s sea of consciousness trembled, and a voice appeared in his mind.
brother, what is this place? why did you become the head of the natives? ”
The person who spoke was none other than the abyss Dragon, Tong Tong, who had been sleeping in li xiaonian’s body for decades.
“Tongtong, are you alright?”
Li xiaonian replied excitedly.
yes, she was infected by the soul poison and her soul was injured. I have to say that she is in a deep sleep. Brother, how long has Tong Tong been in a deep sleep? ”
I’m not too sure about the time. ‘ve been asleep. It’s been about twenty years. Li xiaonian replied, ” this is the Dragon field, a sealed land. You were accidentally chased by a Star Lord before and accidentally fell into this area.
