I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 597, The Eve

Translator: Silavin

As time passed, the Flame Dragon Tribe welcomed the final day before the snow season ended.

Everyone in the Tribe had made their preparations, ready to welcome the approaching eternal night.

However, this time, everyone felt slightly more at ease. They were not as anxious and worried as before.

Su Bai was sitting in the living room with the girls, eating lunch. Once tomorrow arrived, it would be the eternal night, and everyone’s state of mind was different.

“Shaman, will all the poison and gunpowder we’ve made really be useful?” Co Co asked.

Co Co had been hiding away in the laboratory conducting experiments throughout and was completely unaware of many matters.

She understood the explosive packages, as their lethality was obvious to see, and everyone knew they were for dealing with Ferocious Beasts.

“You’ve seen the power of the explosive packages already, but it depends on how well the Warriors coordinate with each other. If they coordinate well, they will have a great effect.” Su Bai said, picking up his teacup and continuing, “The poison goes without saying. It can be applied directly onto the arrowheads. As long as those Ferocious Beasts do not have an extremely thick hide, it should take them down without issue.”

This was the best thing he could do for the Tribe. Apart from developing poison and explosive packages, there were also the firearms. He believed the Flame Dragon Tribe would definitely be able to get through the eternal night peacefully.

“Seems like you really need to come out and walk around. So many things have happened in the Tribe and you don’t know about any of them.” Yan Hua said while chewing on a dried fish.

These dried fish had been prepared before the snow season. They were sprinkled with salt and other seasonings, making them taste fragrant and crispy.

They were caught thanks to a net Su Bai had made after the rainy season.

Large fishes were used to make preserved meat or eaten directly, while the small fish were not something the Tribe were willing to release, as they had worked hard to catch them.

After all, in their eyes, even ants were meat – as long as something was edible, they would never let it go.

So, Su Bai came up with this idea. On Earth, people often made small fish into dried fish or small snacks. Furthermore, when the snow season arrived, there would not be as much fresh food available. So, being able to make some small snacks would add to the variety of food.

“Exactly, you’ve spent too long in the laboratory. You don’t know about anything that happens in the Tribe.” Sha Lan immediately added.

Co Co gently shook her head. After a month or two, her hair had slowly grown a bit longer. She softly said, “During all three meals each day, when I eat with all of you, I can hear you talking about different things, so I know about them to some extent.”

Co Co was focused on developing more useful products for the Shaman, so she could reclaim her own Tribe as soon as possible.

Because only when the Flame Dragon Tribe further develops would they have sufficient strength to take back her Tribe.

Moreover, the Flame Dragon Tribe was preparing to set up a salt field by the sea. When the time came to reclaim her Tribe, her people would have work to do.

Then, her Tribe, with the support of the Flame Dragon Tribe, would also improve. They would also not worry about invasion from other Tribes.

“Although that may be true, staying in the Yong’an Building every day without going out is very boring.” Yu Ying said.

Although Yu Ying was a Shaman Priestess, if she were made to stay in the Yong’an Building every day, she would definitely go mad from boredom. Her greatest daily expectation was putting on her cloak and going to the greenhouses to look at the flowers and plants. Either that, or weeding those crops, catching insects, and harvesting crops to take back for their meals.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll go out when spring comes. Right now, there are still many things I need to research, so I still can’t relax.” Co Co gently shook her head.

Ever since Co Co began doing research, she had been immersed in it. Although sometimes she would go several days without any leads, causing frustration, she still wanted to continue researching.

“When the eternal night comes, you can go to the edge of the Tribe and see how your research has contributed to the Tribe.” Su Bai said.

The reason he wanted to do this was to encourage Co Co. The greatest sense of achievement for someone doing research was nothing more than seeing their own creations being widely used.

Su Bai was not trying to keep her tied to the Tribe forever. He just wanted her to understand her own value, to let her know that what she did every day was very meaningful.

“Alright, I will,” Co Co said with some excitement. She did want to see what her experiments had done for the Tribe.

“Shaman, all the Tribe’s affairs have been arranged. We just need to wait for the eternal night to arrive.” Sha Lan suddenly said.

All recent affairs had been arranged by Sha Lan, all according to Su Bai’s instructions.

For example, checking weapons or setting up the explosive packages in advance, and even the arrangements for the firearm teams.

Not only that, but also the rotating guard duties during the three days of the eternal night, as well as responses to sudden incidents. All of such matters were done according to Su Bai’s instructions.

“Great. I believe the Tribe will get through eternal night safely.” Su Bai said.

He could now completely relax, even holding onto a little excitement.

Before the firearms were developed, he had definitely been worried. The development of firearms gave him a great confidence boost.

The reason for his excitement was seeing how the Flame Dragon Tribe would get through the eternal night under his leadership.

“Our Tribe will definitely get through the eternal night safely, but it’s hard to say about the other Tribes.” Yan Hua began to recall those Tribes she had visited.

Although those Tribes had high wooden walls and many Warriors, they did not have advanced weapons like they did. To deal with Ferocious Beasts, they could only rely on brute force.
