We made you the chief, and now you've become the world's chief?

Chapter 26 Welcome Party
"How many people from the Wa tribe, which was annexed, are in the Li tribe? And what about the other tribe?"

“The Wa tribe has more people than one hand, but not as many as two hands. The other tribe is the same.”

Upon hearing Wamu's words, Xia Minghao frowned slightly.

What do you mean by "one hand" and "two hands"? It's a bit of a problem that these primitive people can't count.

Now that the problem of survival has been solved, it seems necessary to put improving the knowledge of this group of primitive people on the agenda.

The cognition of this group of primitive people must be brought to a level that at least meets the needs of current practice.

Otherwise, it will inevitably hinder subsequent development.

However, it can be roughly determined that the two tribes together have less than twenty people.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Minghao asked again.

How many people are in the Nali tribe?

This time, Wamu didn't answer immediately after hearing this, but instead looked at his fingers and toes and fell into thought.

Well, judging from the situation, the number of people in the Li tribe is definitely far more than twenty. Considering that the bald man had more than a dozen people with him, not to mention the women and children.

Such a large scale is already considered enormous under the production model of gathering and hunting.

This naturally made Xia Minghao a little envious. If he had so many people and formed an exploration team, he might have already discovered malachite.

But they also knew very well that the people they could truly win over in a short time were not the entire Li tribe, but only less than twenty people from the Wa tribe and another tribe.

If we could really add nearly twenty more laborers, that would be enough; that's almost the same number of women in the Xi tribe now...

But what to do?

fighting?

Looking at the spear thrower, Xia Minghao immediately rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.

The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans; the next best is to disrupt their alliances; and the next best is to attack their army.

Besides, the other side has so many people.

But aside from force, there really aren't any good solutions for the time being.

We can only wait for productivity to gradually develop before taking any countermeasures.

However, one thing is certain: the Li tribe has now become its own "talent pool," and it's only a matter of time before those less than twenty women are "liberated."

Looking at Wamu again, Xia Minghao thought to himself.

I don't know whether to call this woman brave or foolish, wanting to take her daughter out alone.

Perhaps this is the meaning of "women are inherently gentle, but become strong when they become mothers".

In any case, we still need to stabilize Wam first.

After all, having joined the tribe, the spear-throwing weapon was definitely not going to be kept secret.

If she were to act rashly and actually go to the Li tribe with a javelin thrower and spears, it wouldn't just be a matter of sending someone to their death.

Once the secret of the spear thrower is discovered, although it is difficult to imitate, it is also difficult to make with such a low-quality tool as a stone knife.

But once it takes shape, and given the sheer number of its opponents, it poses a significant threat to the Xi tribe.

“I will find a way to get you back with your daughter, but you can’t do what you just said.”

"Chief, are you willing to help me?"

"Of course I will help you, because you are now a member of the Xi tribe."

Upon hearing Xia Minghao's words, Wamu's eyes widened suddenly, his cloudy pupils looking as if sparks from a campfire had fallen into them.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he knelt down with a thud.

She knew perfectly well that if the chief was willing to help her, it would be more likely that she could reunite with her daughter than if she did it alone.

"I'll do whatever the chief says... as long as I can see Aya..."

Upon seeing this scene, apart from Ye Zi, the other three women all looked like they wanted to say something but couldn't.

They also want to reunite with their families!

If the chief can reunite Wam with her daughter, they also wish to pray that he can reunite with his own family.

Just then, a pair of glowing eyes appeared in the distance in a woman's peripheral vision. The sense of impending doom made her temporarily forget her longing for her family, and she quickly turned her head to look.

It was a wolf!

Wolves were the danger they feared most during their gathering process; they were a nightmare.

"Wolves! It's wolves!"

Once she realized what was happening, the woman immediately screamed.

When Ye Zi saw the wolf approaching, her reaction was more intense than the other four women.

As Ye Zi watched the lame wolf approach, the memory of her own people being eaten caused her to hallucinate.

It seemed as if the people walking towards them were from a wolf tribe!
Her petite body trembled in panic and quickly retreated backward, almost disappearing into the campfire.

The starlight in his eyes flashed by in a moment of panic, and a gust of wind swept in, causing the campfire to flicker violently.

The women from the Xi tribe nearby quickly pulled Yezi back to prevent her from being burned by the campfire.

Seeing Ye Zi's panicked appearance, as if she had encountered a pack of wolves, her face was deathly pale even in the light of the campfire, and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat.

The woman immediately smiled and explained.

"It is also a member of the Xi tribe, and the chief named it Wangcai."

Are wolves also from the Xi tribe?

Panting heavily, Ye Zi finally calmed down after hearing this and looked at the harmless Wangcai.

Wangcai was so frightened by the women's reactions that he could barely walk on his three legs. He quickly quickened his pace and staggered over to Xia Minghao's side with a wronged expression.

(Below is Wangcai's expression at this moment)

Then, acting very arrogantly, he howled twice at the woman who was making a fuss, earning him two angry slaps on the head from Xia Minghao.

Since the last warning of the crisis, the lame wolf has been accepted by the women and children of the Xi tribe, and it could even be said that he has become a member of the Xi tribe.

Now, every time it's mealtime, it runs back, wagging its tail frantically, waiting for Xia Minghao to feed it.

Moreover, they even sleep at the entrance of the cave, which further reduces the difference between them and dogs.

Xia Minghao was also happy about this, as having the lame wolf was equivalent to adding a new layer of defense to the tribe's security.

They also gave the lame wolf a rather "dog-like" name: Wangcai.

The reason for this name is simple: it expresses Xia Minghao's homesickness...

The new women were clearly afraid of Wangcai, especially Yezi, because Wangcai's wolfish face always reminded him of those terrifying scenes from his memory.

However, this fear quickly subsided as the women of the Xi tribe resumed their "dance" and the little ones played freely.

"The Xi tribe is amazing. The women can throw wooden spears so far, and the chief can even tame a wolf..."

Yezi's face finally regained its color, and her fear was gradually replaced by curiosity.

She recalled what the chief of the Xi tribe had said to the poor mother, Wamu, not long ago.

He then glanced at Wangcai, who was lying next to Xia Minghao.

The chief is so powerful, can I also pray to him to find my people and reunite with them?

……

As the weather grew hotter, and being near a campfire, Xia Minghao, dressed in full outdoor gear, inevitably felt a bit hot.

But worried about being bitten by insects, and not feeling unbearably hot, she didn't take it off.

At the same time, Xia Minghao recalled the cool feeling when the gust of wind blew by earlier, which was truly refreshing.

"wind……"

The women reacted so strongly just now that I didn't have time to think it through.

Now that I think about it again, something doesn't seem quite right.

Looking at the dark forest, the tree shadows were like sculptures, and the clouds in the night sky were motionless.

Where did that strong wind come from?
