Primitive Tribes: Starting with the Name Daji

"what!"

The scream of Daji rang in my ears.

Su Che couldn't help but open his eyes.

The scene was filled with Daji, Tamamo-no-Mae, and Ahri, all huddled around him, and all three of them had been awakened by the collapse of the bamboo bed.

Ahri, still half-asleep, said after regaining consciousness:

"The bamboo bed has fallen apart."

Tamamo-no-Mae also regained consciousness:

"How did the bamboo bed fall apart?"

Su Che rubbed his forehead and said:

"Weren't you sleeping on the floor last night? When did you come up here?"

Daji then wagged her tail and said:

“I saw you sleeping alone on the bamboo bed last night, and I was worried you were cold, so I came up here.”

Ahri and Tamamo-no-Mae both gave the same answer.

Su Che smiled and reached out to pat the heads of the three of them.

"You three are so thoughtful! The bamboo bed we worked so hard to make has collapsed like this!"

Daji and the other two heard what was said.

Its tail and ears were drooping.

Looking at the three of them, Su Che couldn't help but laugh:

"I'm not blaming you, this bamboo bed is indeed not very sturdy."

"I'll just make another one later."

"But the three of you will have to help!"

The three fox-eared girls smiled brightly once again.

The bamboo bed collapsed.

I definitely can't sleep anymore.

Su Che got up and, after eating the meat Ah Li had grilled, called Zhiya over.

Zhiya has fully recovered from her injuries and now lives with Sparrow.

I'm already familiar with this place.

Moreover, he learned to use a bow and arrow from the deer and even went hunting with the deer.

She had already seen all the amazing things in the tribe.

When Su Che called him over.

Zhiya asked:

"I wonder what business Lord Wu has with me?"

Su Che said directly:

"Does your leopard tribe have a shaman?"

"Yes, but I've never seen one! In our tribe, ordinary hunting teams like ours never see a shaman."

"A regular hunting team? What? Does your tribe have special hunting teams?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhiya decided to tell her what had happened.

“You said before that I didn’t have the pride of the leopard clan, that’s because I’m not a leopard with pure blood.”

Su Che was taken aback, somewhat confused.

Orimee continued to explain:

“Our tribe is divided into four ranks. The first is the shaman, the second is the leopard tribe who have inherited the shaman’s legacy, the third is the leopard tribe with pure blood, and the fourth is the leopard tribe like me with impure blood and other races.”

After hearing this, Su Che stroked his chin:

"So, you mean your tribe is also a mixed tribe?"

The bud nods:

"Yes! Our leopard clan is very rare, so there aren't many leopards with pure bloodlines. In addition, leopards believe that their bloodline is extremely noble and they would never reproduce with other races."

"But there are always unexpected events. When female leopards enter their breeding season, they have a strong desire to reproduce. The pain of this process is much more severe than that of other species."

"If there are no purebred male leopards around, female leopards will have no choice but to choose other beasts to reproduce with in order to alleviate their suffering."

"But if the tribe's shaman and the upper-class leopard clan find out, the male beastman will be executed, while the female leopard clan member will be spared, but she will be marginalized."

"The leopard clan will not recognize the bloodline of female leopards and will arrange for them to live with other beastmen, no longer enjoying the privileges that the leopard clan originally deserved."

At this point, Zhiya's ears drooped noticeably.

His face was full of sadness.

"I don't know what race my father belongs to, but after my mother gave birth to me, she endured the pain of reproduction and refused to reproduce with other beastmen."

“Her actions angered the shaman and the other leopards, who believed that since my mother had already gone too far, she should continue to reproduce new life for the tribe.”

"Because my mother has already been stripped of her leopard bloodline, she will not be punished if she reproduces with other beastmen."

"However, my mother never had any more children besides me, so she was sent to the Bear Tribe by the shaman."

· ······Request flowers·· ···

Su Che was taken aback:

"Give it to the Bear Tribe? I remember you said before that your hunting party was killed by the Bear Tribe, right?"

The bud nods:

"Yes, because our Leopard Clan and Lion Clan just finished a tribal war, and the Bear Clan wants to take advantage of the situation to start another war with our tribe and then occupy our tribe."

"To avoid such a war, our leopard tribe sent my mother, along with nearly a hundred other female members of the tribe, to the bear tribe."

"That was many years ago. It was just to avoid war at the time, but if we met in the wild, our leopard clan and bear clan would definitely fight each other."

“Our hunting team consisted of ten people: I was a female leopard, there were three other females from other tribes, and the rest were males.”

"That time, when we encountered the bear tribe, all the male members were killed. They originally wanted to keep the female members to take back for reproduction, but they knew they would die anyway, so they fought the bear tribe to the death."

"In the end, they all died in battle, and I was lucky enough to escape. If I had been captured, I would definitely have been taken to the Bear Clan to reproduce."

After saying that, Zhiya felt only pain and sadness on her face.

"I imagine Mother's life in the Bear Clan must have been difficult... Perhaps, she's already..."

Listening to Zhiya's story, Su Che's heart stirred slightly.

Even in civilized society.

Things that make people angry often happen.

Not to mention this barbaric and cruel primitive world.

Su Che unconsciously reached out and patted Zhiya's head.

"I believe your mother will be alright. Perhaps she's doing quite well now."

Although, it's somewhat self-deceptive.

But we can't be too harsh in our words.

Zhiya was taken aback and looked up at Su Che.

His smile made Zhiya somewhat lost in thought.

She didn't know what this feeling was, but she felt that the shaman in front of her was trustworthy.

Su Che withdrew his hand and continued to ask:

"Although you've never met the shaman of your tribe, do you know what special abilities the shaman of your tribe possesses?"

The bud nods:

"Yes, it is said that he can conjure fire out of thin air, so our tribe has never lacked fire, and... it is said that his fire can kill people."

Su Che squinted slightly and muttered softly:

....... ....... ...

"Fire? The supernatural ability to control the element of fire?"

Su Che seems to have obtained some very important information.

Zhiya's doubts:

"What did you say?"

Su Che shook his head:

"It's alright, thank you for your answer. I now have a better understanding of your tribe. There's one more thing: can you communicate with leopards?"
