I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 980, Cang Shi About to Breakthrough

Translator: Silavin

Ever since Ban Ye arrived at the Flame Dragon Tribe, his entire demeanour had changed considerably.

Originally, he was not particularly talkative, always keeping to himself, but after coming to the Tribe, he suddenly became much more conversational.

In any case, he greeted everyone he met, and with acquaintances he would pull them aside to chat.

This led some people who did not know him to wonder if there was something wrong with him.

“Life at the Flame Dragon Tribe is truly wonderful.” Ban Ye stood in the rain, letting it wash over him.

Previously, the rainy season was dangerous to him, even fatal, but now it was no different from any ordinary day.

His daily routine now consisted of training, eating after training, sleeping after eating, and training after waking. Although training was painful, it was far better than fleeing through the forest.

“Ever since the Ferocious Beast Crystal was removed, I feel as if I’ve come back to life.” Ban Ye continued practising his punches in the rain, enjoying the sensation of rainwater streaming down his body.

In the past, he would never have dared do this. His chest had constantly ached with a dull pain, and avoiding such activities had been paramount, let alone standing in the rain.

“You seem to be in excellent condition.” Cang Shi strode over. He too had grown accustomed to the rain and was no longer using an umbrella or wearing a raincoat.

“Doesn’t the Team Leader need to take the Team on patrol?” Ban Ye stopped his punching movements.

He was now under Sha Hong’s management, which meant he belonged to the Special Forces Department.

Moreover, he was a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior. Although he had reached this level through the forced enhancement of a Ferocious Beast Crystal, he was still somewhat stronger than ordinary Totem Warriors.

“I’ve already delegated the tasks to others. Now is my rest time. I was heading back when I happened to see you in the rain.” Cang Shi swept his rain-soaked hair back, his massive muscles continuously washed by the falling water.

He was on the verge of breaking through to become a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior himself. He merely lacked the right opportunity.

Therefore, the current Cang Shi appeared exceptionally powerful and imposing, giving others a profound sense of pressure.

Even though Ban Ye was a Totem Warrior, he could still sense the distinct difference.

“I simply love the Tribe’s way of life too much, so I came out to let off some steam. I won’t disturb Team Leader’s rest any longer.” After speaking, Ban Ye prepared to leave.

He had recently decided to restrain himself somewhat. He had indeed been overly active.

Although this rain meant nothing to them, no one else was practising their combat forms in the rain for no reason.

If one wanted to train, one should go to the training grounds. Training randomly in any location was indeed somewhat peculiar.

“It doesn’t matter. Your future is boundless. Train well, and you’ll soon catch up with the greatest Totem Warriors.” Cang Shi laughed heartily. He always had high regard for exceptionally strong Totem Warriors.

Moreover, Ban Ye’s strength ranking within the Flame Dragon Tribe was indeed quite high. Initially, Cang Shi had arranged for people to monitor him. After all, in this era, not everyone could be trusted. Especially not a wanderer, particularly one with such considerable strength. One had to maintain vigilance.

But facts proved that Cang Shi had been overly cautious. As the days passed, Ban Ye clearly exhibited no suspicious behaviour. He was extremely curious about everything in the Flame Dragon Tribe, but he always knew when to stop.

Ban Ye was no fool. He knew which things he could ask about and which things he could not. If something was highly classified, somewhere he should not even look, he absolutely would not take a single step there.

The Flame Dragon Tribe had numerous workshops and various technologies, yet Ban Ye had never enquired about any of them.

Far from asking others about them, he had never even sneaked a glance.

The only things Ban Ye was curious about were the cement houses and cement roads, but this remained limited to mere curiosity and amazement.

He knew he had no right to enquire about anything, much less any right to know. Being able to stay at the Flame Dragon Tribe for training and eat well every day was already enough for him. Most importantly, the physical discomfort that had constantly troubled him had been resolved by Su Bai.

This was the true turning point that made Ban Ye genuinely commit to the Flame Dragon Tribe. Naturally, he understood what his proper role should be.

“If it weren’t for the rainy season arriving, Team Leader should have already broken through to become a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior.” Ban Ye felt regret on the other’s behalf.

He thought that if the Tribe’s Hunting Team were still operating, the breakthrough would likely have already occurred.

“I know what you’re thinking, but your concern isn’t entirely correct.” Cang Shi smiled again.

“What do you mean?” Ban Ye looked utterly confused.

“Even if the Hunting Team is still active, I wouldn’t necessarily have broken through immediately. The reason I’m now so close to breakthrough has a great deal to do with the Shaman.”

Cang Shi began striding towards his quarters. “If the Shaman hadn’t consistently allocated me large quantities of Ferocious Beast Meat and Blood, as well as enough grain, I couldn’t possibly have progressed this quickly.”

Although the Hunting Team sought food for the Tribe, the food they brought back each time could barely sustain the Tribe’s people.

Eating one’s fill was impossible. Although they, as Totem Warriors, could eat somewhat more, the most important principle was still to keep the entire Tribe fed. Compared to now, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Now they did not need to worry about food at all. The previously stored Ferocious Beast Meat and Blood remained, sufficient for the Warriors’ daily needs.

“True enough. Tribes like ours where everyone can eat their fill daily are relatively rare, especially since we’re not a Large Tribe.”

Ban Ye thought about the number of Totem Warriors in the Tribe. It was not as many as other Tribes of comparable size.

Obtaining food must be comparatively difficult, let alone ensuring everyone ate their fill with surplus remaining.

“If you continue staying in the Tribe for a while longer, you’ll understand. The Flame Dragon Tribe is a Tribe worth protecting with your life.” Cang Shi smiled happily again.

He did not wish to explain too much. He was not someone who liked talking excessively. In any case, one would understand everything simply by experiencing it themselves.

“I understand.” Ban Ye followed for a while before stopping.

He had indeed been won over by the Flame Dragon Tribe, especially by those unknown cold weapons.

The unknown grain crops, the unknown management methods, and so on. But it was precisely these unknown things that filled him with amazement.

“If Big Sister were here now, she would certainly be amazed by the Flame Dragon Tribe too.” Ban Ye murmured to himself.

He raised his head, allowing the rainwater to wash over his face. After a while, he lowered his head and walked towards the training grounds.

All along the way, many people greeted him. Clearly, he had already integrated completely with the Flame Dragon Tribe.

[I’m going to find the strongest Totem Warrior for a sparring match!] Thinking this, Ban Ye accelerated, taking three steps at once.
