“Shaman, do we need to inform the Warriors about this in advance?” Yan Jiao asked.

Since he would definitely need to arrange the Warriors’ upcoming work, and given that the trip to the Hunting Ground had been cancelled, he would certainly have to explain the reason to those Warriors.

Otherwise, if those Warriors could no longer go to the Hunting Ground they had been longing for, they would surely start wondering what was going on.

“Just tell them directly. Say it’s my arrangement, and mention that they’ll have new work coming up.” Su Bai said.

He had originally wanted the entire Tribe to know about this arrangement anyway, so there was no need to be secretive about it at this moment.

Moreover, there were indeed a fixed number of Warriors who would go to the Hunting Ground every few days.

Today was also the day they were preparing to head to the Hunting Ground, so since the hunting trip had been cancelled, they naturally needed to be informed as to the reason why.

“Shaman, they probably won’t say anything, but suddenly cancelling something they’ve been doing regularly will make them feel a bit odd.” Yan Jiao said.

“Just have them continue training every day. I’ll have new tasks arranged for them soon enough, though I’m still thinking about it now.” Su Bai said calmly.

He was preparing to make a grand plan next.

Although before planning out exactly how he should start, he could let those Warriors continue hunting. However, the Hunting Ground was full of dangers, and new perils would appear with each visit. Not everyone was one hundred percent lucky. As the saying goes, how can one walk by the river without getting wet shoes?

Each trip to the Hunting Ground represented another chance of encountering danger, so preventing accidents before they occurred was the right approach.

“Understood. Then I’ll have them train the Warrior Trainees going forwards. I believe they should be happy to do this work as well,” Yan Jiao said.

The Totem Warriors’ position in the Tribe was naturally high, as they bore the responsibility of protecting the entire Tribe.

So, their opinions mattered. They needed to pay attention to what the Warriors were thinking.

Otherwise, it would be like some Tribes in the past that frequently undervalued their Warriors and occasionally disrespected them, which led to those Warriors betraying their original Tribes.

These Warriors knew their own Tribes inside out. If they betrayed their Tribe and went to another Large Tribe, it was hard not to worry about those traitors leading that Large Tribe back to bite them.

This kind of ingrate existed in every era, and Yan Jiao did not want such a situation to occur.

“Change the upcoming training. Have them take the Warrior Trainees to train in the forest beside us,” Su Bai arranged.

He no longer wanted the Warrior Trainees to be limited to training within the Tribe. Practising the same fixed things every day would make progress limited.

“Is the Shaman thinking of having the Warrior Trainees train in the dense forest?” Yan Jiao asked.

He was actually somewhat surprised, because previously only Totem Warriors underwent such training.

Even if a few Warrior Trainees trained this way, it was only a few, and only if their strength was sufficiently formidable, like Yan Hua, Sha Lan and others.

“Yes. This way they won’t need to go to the Hunting Ground. They can train in the forest around us, which will greatly improve their own strength,” Su Bai nodded.

The grand plan he was preparing in his mind could not be separated from the Warrior Trainees, so before then, he had to make them strengthen their abilities quickly.

“I understand, Shaman, but I’m still worried about one problem,” Yan Jiao suddenly said.

“Speak.” Su Bai’s thick black eyebrows raised slightly.

“Shaman makes Shaman Bone Tablets every day, and making Shaman Bone Tablets definitely requires top-quality Ferocious Beast Bones. If the Warriors don’t go to the Hunting Ground, I’m afraid the Shaman won’t be able to get good Ferocious Beast Bones in future.” Yan Jiao said worriedly.

Shaman Bone Tablets were also extremely important to the Warriors, as they concerned the Warriors’ personal safety as well as their chances of victory in battle.

If the Shaman Bone Tablets were of very good quality, the strength they could exert would naturally be strong.

For instance, if one encountered a Ferocious Beast attack and suffered serious injuries, a good Healing Shaman Bone Tablet could make wounds recover quickly, while an ordinary Healing Shaman Bone Tablet’s recovery speed would be much slower.

Slow recovery speed naturally meant enduring suffering for longer, and if one encountered other Ferocious Beasts at that time, it would probably be rather difficult to handle.

Another example was using Divination Shaman and Blessing Shaman Bone Tablets in warfare. The quality could also determine victory in battle.

“The Central Market should be able to obtain some good Ferocious Beast Bones every day. Those can temporarily suffice for now…” Su Bai took another sip of tea and continued, “Plus, during the last eternal night, we also stored quite a few good Ferocious Beast Bones, which can also be used for some time.”

He was thinking that with the bones currently stored, plus the bones obtained daily from the Central Market, they could last until the next eternal night.

After the eternal night ended, there would be another large batch of good Ferocious Beast Bones. Not long after that would be the annual hunting event, which would be another large inflow.

This was something he had considered when thinking about abolishing hunting activities, and it was also why he could make up his mind to abolish them.

“Since the Shaman has arranged things so well, it truly puts my mind at ease.” Yan Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

“By the way, you need to keep a close watch on the Central Market. Next time someone trades Shaman Bone Tablets, you must promptly identify which Tribe they’re from,” Su Bai instructed.

His ambition now was not merely satisfied with his own Skills. If he could possess Shaman Bone Tablets from other Tribes, that would also be good.

Just like the Floating Shaman Bone Tablet and Corrosion Shaman Bone Tablet from last time, both were excellent Shaman Bone Tablets.

They were extremely useful for helping achieve victory in warfare, which was why he had researched acids some time ago.

He had just been thinking about replacing that Corrosion Shaman Bone Tablet, though it was still under research.

“Don’t worry, Shaman. There are now very many people planted in the Central Market. Next time, we must definitely promptly secure the intelligence.” Yan Jiao immediately said.

He was also very curious about those two Tribes. The Floating Shaman Bone Tablet could be considered extremely formidable, while the Corrosion Shaman Bone Tablet was relatively ordinary to him.

Because there were quite a few corrosive plants in the Hunting Ground area, he had seen these many times before, so what he was more curious about was that Floating Shaman Bone Tablet.

“Good. How is the training situation for the Warrior Trainees? Will their strength be higher than the previous batch of Warrior Trainees?” Su Bai asked.

He wanted to know whether, after he took over the Tribe and after letting the Tribesmen eat their fill, the awakened Warrior Trainees were any different.

“Their strength will be higher than the previous batch.” Yan Jiao said without hesitation.
