I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 858, Mounts

After completing training, Yan Hua and Sha Lan returned to the Restful Night Building for lunch.

Recently they had been exceptionally diligent, rising extraordinarily early, hastily finishing breakfast before rushing to the training grounds.

Their current responsibilities were substantial: besides maintaining their own training, they supervised soldier training.

Soldier training vastly differed from initial selection phases. Now soldiers’ physical conditioning gradually matched Warrior Trainees.

Having completed all obstacle courses and various exercises within the Tribe, their current training ground was the forest outside the Tribe.

The dense primitive forest proved extremely dangerous. But precisely because of this, the forest became the most natural training ground.

Yan Hua completed her own training early before supervising soldier training.

Previously, soldiers commenced physical training independently; various weight-bearing exercises.

Entering the dense forest represented aerobic training, more exhausting than weight exercises.

“Shaman, we’re back.” Yan Hua released her long black hair.

During training she always tied her hair up, as loose hair proved obstructive.

“Shaman, we’ve washed our hands. May we have lunch now?” Sha Lan swayed her cat tail expectantly.

Sha Lan no longer felt as restrained initially, interacting comfortably with Su Bai while maintaining respectfulness.

“Perfect. Lunch has just been cooked.” Su Bai had already seated himself at the dining table.

“Yay!” Yan Hua grinned.

Everyone gathered around the dining table, feasting heartily, occasionally producing cheerful laughter.

Outsiders observing this scene might startle. How could Shaman Priestesses and the Chieftain’s Daughter sit so close to the Shaman?

Actually daring to gather at one table for meals. This was completely unprecedented.

Yet this also inspired envy. Envy of their close relationship with the Shaman.

To others, the Shaman represented supremely noble existence. They couldn’t imagine sharing meals with him.

Half an hour later, everyone finished lunch. A delicious roasted meat feast.

Yu Ying’s primary daily responsibility involved conceiving new menus, avoiding repetitive dishes within short periods.

Though Su Bai never demanded this, Yu Ying wanted to excel at this task.

“Shaman, I heard Six Eyed Red Birds appeared near our Tribe.” Sha Lan mentioned suddenly.

She had heard this from Sha Hong, who had learned from other members of other Tribes.

Because the Flame Dragon Tribe operated the Central Market, various people from other Tribes visited daily.

These visitors brought news from surrounding forest regions, entering casual conversation while eating or trading.

Flame Dragon Tribe Warriors responsible for Central Market and security inevitably overheard these conversations.

“Six Eyed Red Birds normally avoid Tribe areas. Why did they suddenly appear near our Tribe?” Yu Ying asked while collecting dishes.

“I don’t know either. Mother also heard from them.” Sha Lan shook her head.

Her hands rested satisfied on her stomach. Lunch featured particularly abundant roasted meat, especially eaten with lettuce.

This consumption method was Sha Lan’s first experience. She’d immediately fallen for this meat-vegetable combination.

“Six Eyed Red Birds? The ones Ye Jiu hunted previously?” Su Bai asked. The name sounded somewhat familiar.

Hardly surprising, since Transmigrating here, he had heard countless Ferocious Beast names each day

Sometimes during Bone Tablet creation, he’d also hear various Ferocious Beast names.

“Yes, Shaman. That’s the one. Will their sudden appearance near our Tribe threaten us?” Sha Lan worried.

“Shaman, let me go. I’ll hunt these Six Eyed Red Birds for consumption.” Yan Hua stood immediately.

“No. I have uses for these Ferocious Beasts. Capturing them alive would be even better.” Su Bai smiled suddenly.

When first encountering this Ferocious Beast type, this idea had emerged in his mind.

“Shaman, why capture living Six Eyed Red Birds? These Ferocious Beasts run extraordinarily fast. Capturing them alive would be impossible.” Sha Lan asked curiously.

“Shaman, even hunting these Ferocious Beasts and returning their carcass won’t affect our consumption.” Yan Hua also seemed puzzled.

“It is not for consumption. We’re raising these Ferocious Beasts.” Su Bai explained mysteriously.

“Shaman, why raise them? Besides their daily food consumption, their speed alone is something we can’t keep up with.” Yan Hua questioned.

These Ferocious Beasts’ running speed was universally known amongst all Tribes. Upon encountering them, immediate escape was advisable. Escape up, that was.

Otherwise, once targeted escape would be impossible unless one reached a higher ground.

“Raising them helps our Tribe, particularly in combat.” Su Bai explained.

Upon first learning these Ferocious Beasts’ characteristics, he had already conceived of a utility for them.

“Does Shaman want Six Eyed Red Birds to fight alongside us? But their advantage is merely speed. Their lethality may not help much.” Sha Lan questioned.

“I value them precisely for their speed. If we could ride Six Eyed Red Birds into battle, would that help?” Su Bai asked calmly.

Exactly, his concept involved using Six Eyed Red Birds as mounts, similar to Earth’s cavalry.

Cavalry damage vastly exceeded infantry, particularly with these exceptionally fast Ferocious Beasts.

Battlefields would amplify their advantages. Superior speed meant enemies couldn’t match your pace, increasing victory probability.

“Shaman is brilliant! If Six Eyed Red Birds can be ridden, attacking other Tribes or defending would make them really useful.” Sha Lan’s clear blue eyes brightened instantly.

“Riding Six Eyed Red Birds into combat? That sounds wonderful.” Yan Hua shared equal anticipation.

“Moreover, I previously created numerous Taming Shaman Bone Tablets. The opportunity is now before us.” Su Bai’s lips curved slightly upward.

“Great! Let’s proceed as the Shaman suggests.” Yan Hua nodded repeatedly.

“Remember, safety first.” Su Bai cautioned.
