I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 782, Taking the Plunge

Qin slowly walked out from the hot air balloon’s basket, her delicate face bathed in moonlight.

She walked before her people and said, “I’m back. Don’t be afraid.”

The young woman could feel her people were extremely frightened, their faces showing undisguised terror.

“Ah, how did you come out of that strange thing?” Asked Alib, who was at the front.

He was the leader of this group of Wanderers. However, he was neither a Totem Warrior nor a Warrior Trainee. He was just an ordinary person. He became a leader because of his leadership skills, and his age, which makes him the oldest.

So everyone rather respected him and naturally listened to his words, gradually making him their leader.

“This is called a hot air balloon. It’s the Flame Dragon Tribe’s transportation vehicle.” Qin immediately explained.

Alib also saw the people behind the young woman, and his expression became even more terrified.

He was stunned for quite a while before asking, “Have you already been captured by another Tribe? Are you here now to capture us and take us back?”

This kind of thing had happened before. Fortunately, at that time, those Tribe members had taken a liking to a young woman amongst this group.

After thinking it over, those Tribe members used that young woman as compensation.

Although this was extremely unfair to that young woman, it was still worthwhile to save the lives of over one hundred people.

Moreover, those people also felt this might not necessarily be a bad thing. After all, she would no longer have to endure hunger with them here. She need not continue living such a dangerous life together with them.

“No, Grandfather, I’ve come to lead you all to Flame Dragon Tribe, to let you live good lives,” Qin immediately said.

Seeing everyone’s terrified expressions, she quickly understood what they feared.

Because they had encountered this kind of situation before, and in just a few short months, they had encountered it many times.

“Flame Dragon Tribe? What kind of Tribe is that? Why would you take us there?” Alib asked curiously.

His gaze studied that hot air balloon very seriously, feeling this Tribe seemed too extraordinary.

He was afraid that Tribe might not be a good one, then making all of them become slaves.

“I’ve come to take you all to live good lives. Flame Dragon Tribe will give us food to eat,” Qin immediately said.

She could not understand why Grandfather was now somewhat conflicted. Hadn’t he always been anticipating this moment?

“Qin, you absolutely cannot be deceived by another Tribe. What if they want to take us back to be slaves? That would be horrendous.” Alib said with great concern.

Perhaps because he had encountered bad Tribes several times, he was now a bit frightened, afraid of returning to that previous state.

“It won’t happen. The Flame Dragon Tribe could not possibly deceive us. Their Shaman promised me that as long as we’re willing to work, they’ll give us food to eat and give us places to live.” Qin stepped forward, continuing to say, “They’re different from other Tribes. They definitely won’t deceive us.”

She actually did not understand Flame Dragon Tribe either, but she truly felt this way from her heart.

“You’ve only been gone for how long, and you’ve already been completely brainwashed by this so-called Flame Dragon Tribe?” Alib frowned.

Perhaps because of many previous failures, plus the fact they descended from the sky this time, he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

He always felt this group of people had come to trick them into becoming slaves. It could not be that suddenly pies were falling from the sky.

“That’s right, that’s right. We’d rather starve to death in the Wilderness than become slaves,” someone in the crowd shouted.

“But, I think it should be true. They don’t look like people who would do such things,” a different voice sounded in the crowd.

“I also agree with what you said. Qin has been with us for so long. She absolutely would not betray us now.” Another person also chimed in.

“She had many opportunities before to go to other Tribes and live good lives, but she gave them all up for us.” Another woman also said.

“Although you all say so, it doesn’t rule out that she’s changed her mind now, does it?” Another middle-aged man was worried.

At once, chirping sounds arose in the forest. Everyone was discussing whether the people brought were safe.

However, what worried and puzzled them most was why this group of people descended from the sky.

Logically, shouldn’t they have come through the forest? Perhaps because of this, they were relatively worried.

“I went to find food for you all as usual…” Qin began recounting the course of events.

She felt that directly persuading them now would definitely be useless. She had to let them know what actually happened.

“So you encountered that kind of situation. We shouldn’t have misunderstood you,” Alib felt somewhat guilty.

Other people in the crowd also responded one after another. They all felt they should not have speculated about others this way.

Sha Hong and Mai Mang had been standing silently behind them all along. They said nothing, just silently watched them.

Sha Hong knew this matter could not possibly go so smoothly, so she had anticipated this scene early on.

“I only want you all to be better off,” Qin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she could persuade them, that was better than anything.

However, she greatly admired Sha Hong internally, because she had already predicted this before they even arrived.

“Will we really have food and shelter when we go to that Tribe?” Alib still wanted to ask again.

He was just afraid that after taking everyone there now, everyone would not be able to eat or live in a proper Teepee. That would be horrendous.

“Yes, Grandfather. The Flame Dragon Tribe absolutely could not possibly deceive us. Even if they wanted to deceive us, we have nothing worth deceiving them for.” Her tone was particularly excited. She continued, “Most importantly, we won’t need to continue avoiding those dangers outside. We can live good lives.”

She was more excited than she had been at any time in the past. The life lived previously had always been difficult and tough. Especially after becoming Wanderers, life became even worse. Now suddenly being able to obtain a stable life, her mood was naturally different.

“All right, then we’ll rest well tonight, and tomorrow we’ll go with you to Flame Dragon Tribe,” Alib also wanted to take a gamble.

Although he was the leader of this group of people, his age was already very advanced.

Most importantly, he was not a Totem Warrior himself and had no ability to protect this group of people.

If not for the few Totem Warriors helping to hunt food, they probably would have starved to death long ago.

“No need to rest for a night. We can depart right now.” Sha Hong finally spoke.

According to the time, the ship should have simultaneously arrived at the nearby river with them.

What needed to be done now was to quickly rush towards the riverside, then board the ship and head to Flame Dragon Tribe.
