I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

Jiang Ning shook her head violently, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, her voice trembling: "No... I'm not, I'm a disciple of the Witch! You are the Sirius Witch!"

She held Sirius's hand tightly. In her heart, Sirius was irreplaceable. He was her teacher, her guide on her life's journey, and a kind elder who gave her endless courage and strength.

Sirius Witch smiled and said, "I told you long ago that this day would come, and I believe you were prepared."

Jiang Ning remained silent, only shaking her head repeatedly.

He grasped Jiang Ning's hand in return: "Jiang Ning, my time is running out. Take me to see the tribe's new settlement."

Lotus Witch silently summoned her wedge-tailed pterosaur to wait beside her.

Jiang Ning paused, wiped away her tears, and suppressed her grief. She knew this was his last wish, and she was determined to help him fulfill it.

She picked up Sirius Witch, and Lotus Witch took Sirius Witch's staff and followed her onto the back of the Wedge-tailed Pteranodon.

The wedge-tailed pterosaur spread its wings and flew steadily toward the plain.

The bamboo shaman ordered his men to collect the bodies of the various tribes on the battlefield, and then silently followed behind with the others.

Finally, they arrived at the tribe's newly chosen settlement. Sirius Shaman looked around and saw that the place was surrounded by mountains. Warriors could set up sentry posts on the mountains, tribespeople could build stone houses on the plains, dig caves in the mountains, and develop agriculture in the distance.

Aquatic battle pets can also live in this lake. When the giant water lily blooms, this place will surely be very beautiful.

Unfortunately, he won't be able to see it.

The pterosaur led the Sirius Shaman around the area once, and the Sirius Shaman simply said, "Good! Good!"

Finally, the wedge-tailed pterosaur landed on the plain.

Sirius Witch reached out her hand, and Jiang Ning pressed her forehead against it.

A gentle surge of magical power flowed from the Sirius Shaman's palm into Jiang Ning's body. The point of light representing himself in his mind rapidly expanded, while the points of light representing the Sirius tribe orbited around Jiang Ning like satellites. Every move of the tribesmen seemed to be etched into Jiang Ning's mind.

Sirius Shaman passed his Shamanic Seal to Jiang Ning. Lotus Shaman respectfully stepped forward and presented Sirius Shaman's Shamanic Staff with both hands. Sirius Shaman accepted it and handed it to Jiang Ning.

As Jiang Ning accepted the staff, the Sirius Shaman revealed a peaceful smile. He slowly closed his eyes in Jiang Ning's arms, as if he were having a long, beautiful dream from which he would never wake up again.

Jiang Ning held his body and wept bitterly.

The others also knelt down to bid farewell to the former Sirius Wizard and to witness the birth of the new Sirius Wizard.

……

Before the chief could send someone to comfort her, Jiang Ning wiped away her tears and stood up on her own.

She was now a true Sirius witch, and she could not allow herself to wallow in pain.

Her people and her tribe still need her here.

They have just gone through a lot of hardship and need her to settle them down.

Jiang Ning picked up the body of the Sirius Witch, walked to the kneeling chieftain, and handed him over. Turning to the crowd, he saw they were all kneeling in his direction, forming a circle.

Hearing Jiang Ning's commotion, everyone looked up, their faces showing a listless expression.

They finally escaped here, but so many people have died. Now even the shaman is dead, and the surrounding area is so dangerous. What are they going to do now?

Holding his staff, Jiang Ning returned to his previous spot, took a deep breath, and addressed the crowd loudly: "Fellow tribesmen! We have encountered an unprecedented natural disaster, and our previous place is no longer habitable. In order to survive, we have no choice but to leave our former home."

"We've overcome countless hardships and made tremendous efforts and sacrifices along the way. But now, we've finally found a new place to live! This is where we'll start anew!"

"We cannot be defeated by natural disasters. Stand up! Look at your people! They have paid a huge price for our survival. Some were even injured or killed in battle! They didn't even get to see this place!"

"We must not forget their sacrifice. We must live on for them, for all our people. We still have a long way to go, and much to do. For the tribe! For our people! For yourselves! Cheer up!"

People from each tribe stood up, looking at their fellow tribesmen and remembering those who had died on the road. Everything they had experienced along the way seemed to have transformed into endless motivation.

They waved their fists, their faces flushed red, and shouted hoarsely, "For the tribe! For our people! For ourselves!" This impassioned shout seemed to pierce the clouds and shake the earth.

Their voices echoed across the plains, reaching every corner. Everyone who heard them was moved by their steadfastness and perseverance, and an indescribable power welled up within them.

Jiang Ning instructed the people of each tribe to first treat the wounded and bid farewell to the dead, while the others rested.

The specific planning of the settlement needs to be discussed with the shamans of each tribe before a decision is made.

In this battle with the black ape, the Sirius tribe suffered the most injuries because the other tribes didn't have many level-two warriors in total. Even though Jiang Ning distributed some spirit bones to them on the way, their level-two warriors were still few and far between.

Yun Sheng, Da Shi, and others died in battle, while Huo Yun, Pu Ye, Qing Pan, and others were seriously injured and have been treated by the shamans of various tribes.

Meatball and other wolves also suffered many casualties. Jiang Ning instructed the chief to arrange for people to prepare a bonfire to send off the dead tribesmen and wolves.

The flames roared and leaped, illuminating every solemn face.

Jiang Ning stood by the fire, his gaze deep. Through the firelight, he seemed to see the figures of the departing people and wolves, their shadows dancing in the firelight as if telling their stories.

The fire burned brighter and brighter, the flames rose higher and higher, and the stories and lives of those people and those wolves were reduced to ashes in the flames.

The fire on the plains slowly died down at dawn.

Jiang Ning personally crafted stone jars and placed the ashes of her clansmen into them.

The ashes of the others and Tianlang were taken back by their relatives, while the ashes of Tianlang Wu were personally kept by Jiang Ning.

Everyone was exhausted after not sleeping all night.

Now is not the time to rest. The beast teeth can only be used four more times, and there are quite a few ferocious beasts around.

The bamboo witch had someone present the black ape bones that had been collected earlier, which Jiang Ning had deliberately left behind when using the power of the ancestral witch.

Black ape bones can be used to make weapons, and their spirit bones and pure bones are used to enhance the strength of their people.

Jiang Ning distributed all the bones to everyone. He could also share some of the spirit bones, but the pure bones were a bit harder to deal with. There weren't many people who could use pure bones to improve their strength, so giving them away would be a waste, not to mention that there was a true bone among them.

In the end, Jiang Ning kept it for now and would deal with it later.

One hundred and twenty-seven people absorbed the spirit bones together, and the nine shamans dared not slack off, keeping a close eye on the movements of each warrior.

Time passed slowly, and only when about a hundred people successfully broke through did they feel a little relieved.

The once calm lake surface suddenly became turbulent, with ripples spreading out from the center of the lake. Jiang Ning sensed something was wrong and immediately signaled everyone to retreat.

Fortunately, everyone was afraid that some kind of monster might be lurking in the lake, so no one went near it.

Water is only taken from the downstream river, and the aquatic battle pets have not even entered the water yet.
