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

Shi Wu didn't know what pottery was, but Jiang Ning did.

If the pottery that Shi Wu mentioned is the same pottery that Jiang Ning knows, then it shouldn't be difficult to make.

Jiang Ning felt that pottery was fragile, and these primitive people were incredibly strong and their lifestyles were not very refined. He thought that sturdy and durable stone tools and readily available wooden products were more suitable for their current living habits, so he never thought about making pottery.

As a powerful and large tribe, the Tao tribe, being named after pottery, must have possessed excellent pottery-making skills.

The warrior named Wuji was wearing woven clothing, which suggests that the Tao tribe may have been involved in more than just pottery making, but also in textiles or other handicrafts.

This means they have moved beyond basic living needs and are now pursuing a higher quality of life.

The clam shaman couldn't wait to ask, "Shaman, isn't the Rock King at Rock Lake? The Tao tribe didn't seem to have found him just now?"

Jiang Ning glanced at him and said, "You could have noticed it when you first arrived. The Rock King has his own way of concealing his presence. When I sensed the presence of the Tao tribe, I hid it at the bottom of the lake to avoid attracting their attention."

Lianwu said, "Fortunately, Tianlangwu discovered it in time, otherwise, if the Tao tribe had seen the Rock King, there might have been another incident."

This team is so powerful that even the Rock King would probably be no match for them.

Once the Tao tribe discovers that the Jiang tribe possesses a Rock King whose strength far surpasses that of the alliance, they will inevitably suspect that there is something fishy going on within the Jiang tribe.

The Great Horned Deer Shaman nodded: "I wonder what they're looking for?"

Jiang Ning said, "I guess they're looking for me."

The others had a general idea, but they didn't say it outright. After all, they were all in the same boat, and Jiang Ning's life was closely tied to theirs.

If Jiang Ning is taken away by the Tao tribe, the others will not fare well either.

Lianwu asked worriedly, "In that case, should we hide?"

Bamboo Witch: "We are the only alliance around here; there are no other tribes. If the Tao tribe wants to find something here, they must remember us well. Even if that warrior named Wu Ji told us to move, where could we move to?"

Everyone in the council hall looked over. Jiang Ning shook his head: "If the person they are looking for is really me, then there is no need to worry too much. I did not leave any traces when I attacked the black ape, and there is nothing unusual about me. They will not be able to find me. If we really move away, it will arouse suspicion. After all, no tribe will easily give up its place of residence."

When the system gave Jiang Ning the beast teeth, it stated that no one would be able to detect anything unusual about them.

It is perfectly normal for people here to wear animal tooth ornaments, and the Tao tribe has no reason to doubt a weak alliance.

During the battle with the black ape, Jiang Ning only attacked the black ape. Even the trees and grass around him were not affected by the power of the Ancestral Witch. No abnormal battle traces were left at the scene. At most, there were traces of the warriors fighting. After so many days, there should be nothing left.

The others didn't want to move either; they had all experienced difficult escapes and paid a heavy price in their search for a safe haven.

Now, things are slowly getting better in the alliance, and life is beginning to look hopeful. They are unwilling to face the fear of losing their homes again.

Jiang Ning said, "The Tao tribe might come again. You need to manage your own people and not anger them. There's no need to teach them what to say; just let things take their course. The power we see is insignificant in the eyes of the Tao tribe. If we give a unified account, it will only arouse their suspicion."

Just like the story of the little horse crossing the river, the squirrel thought the river was very deep and dangerous, while the ox thought the water only reached his calves and was not worth worrying about.

The black apes that were terrifying to the Jiang tribe were nothing to the Tao tribe. Based on their different strengths and perspectives, they had different understandings and judgments about power.

No matter how much the Jiang tribe people praise Jiang Ning, the Tao tribe, once they know that her opponents are a group of ferocious spirit beasts, will most likely think that this is just a common way for the tribe people to flatter and deify their shaman.

The relationship between the tribespeople and the shaman is somewhat similar to that between an ant colony and its queen. The queen is the most important member of the colony, responsible for reproduction and maintaining order, while the colony is responsible for finding food, protecting the nest, and performing other tasks.

The presence of the queen ant is crucial to the survival of the colony, while the other members of the colony rely on the queen and cooperation among themselves to maintain the survival and development of the entire group.

The members of the tribe are like worker ants and soldier ants in an ant colony, each performing their own duties to maintain the harmony and stability of the tribe.

There may be conflicts between members of the tribe, but they will never betray the shaman and the tribe. Every member works hard for the benefit of the whole group.

Jiang Ning is a figure above the Queen Ant in the Alliance.

In general, the relationship between tribal people and shamans is a close and complex one. This relationship is not only the foundation for the survival and development of the tribe, but also the guarantee for the inheritance of tribal culture and traditions.

Everyone readily agreed: "Yes!"

After everyone had left, Jiang Ning sat alone in the council hall for a long time, her thoughts wandering, lost in thought.

The system couldn't bear to watch any longer and comforted Jiang Ning, saying, "You don't need to worry too much. There are no Ancestral Witches in this world. In a sense, you are the strongest."

Jiang Ning snapped out of her reverie. Hearing the system's words, she wasn't particularly pleased, but simply smiled and said, "Do you know that we have a card game where we're from, a common way to play it is called Dou Dizhu?"

As a science popularization-based poverty alleviation system, the system naturally knew: "I know, you want to play?"

Jiang Ning said, "I don't know how many enemies we will have in the future, but we only have four uses of the Ancestral Witch Power left. We can't always have others play a pair of threes while I play the Royal Flush."

After all, there are many tribes in this world, and there are bound to be many aggressive tribes as well.

Unless this territory is never discovered by anyone else, conflicts are bound to arise due to disputes.

The system fell silent; it could only do so much, and there were many things it was powerless to do.

Jiang Ning quickly cheered up. As a tribal leader, she not only had to protect her people, but also had to learn how to survive in this competitive and conflict-ridden world.

"I will lead my people to work hard to develop our alliance." Jiang Ning's eyes gleamed. "We will let other tribes know that the Jiang tribe is not to be trifled with. We have courage, wisdom, and strength, and we are not afraid of any challenge or conflict! I will make sure they never dare to trespass into our territory again!"
