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

Jiang Ning stayed with the shaman to learn about herbs, while Bai Ya secretly approached the black wolf. The black wolf was its father, but Bai Ya had been sealed away by the shaman for many years. The black wolf sniffed at Bai Ya, as if recognizing it, and took steps towards it. Bai Ya was a little scared.

Black Wolf is already a ferocious beast with strange bones. Although it is not emitting any aura now, its very existence is a danger, let alone Bai Ya, who is just a cub.

The black wolf stopped, stood for a moment, howled at the cave, and then turned and ran out of the tribe.

Baiya looked at its back and seemed a little disappointed. It quickly wagged its tail and ran to Jiang Ning's side, following her step by step.

Jiang Ning was learning to identify herbs from the shaman and didn't notice what was happening between them. The shaman smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Jiang Ning looked at the animal skin scroll in her hand. The drawing skills on it were obviously not very good, even a bit rough. However, for some reason, she could clearly "see" the shapes of the herbs, as if they were right in front of her.

The shaman seemed to sense her confusion and explained, "These are shamanic scrolls I created with my magical power. The things written on them possess special energy. They are not merely pictures, but contain the essence and properties of herbs."

Jiang Ning suddenly realized that these seemingly ordinary paintings contained deeper levels of knowledge and mysteries.

She could sense the mysterious aura emanating from the animal skin scrolls, as if a force was guiding her to understand and master this knowledge.

The shaman smiled at her, seemingly knowing what she was thinking. He gently patted Jiang Ning's shoulder and said, "The shaman's power can be used in many ways; what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. There are countless wonderful things in this world waiting for you to discover and learn."

"Yes, I will study hard."

Jiang Ning was completely absorbed in learning from Wu, losing track of time. At that moment, she felt as if she had entered a whole new world, and every piece of knowledge filled her with novelty and excitement.

Suddenly, however, a cry of alarm came from the direction of the foot of the mountain. The sound grew louder and clearer until it shattered the tranquility of the mountains.

"Black Wolf is back!" someone shouted.

Jiang Ning and Wu were immediately startled, and their gazes turned to the tribe below the mountain. The black wolf was running uphill, and it seemed to be carrying something in its mouth.

Even from afar, one could sense the terrifying aura emanating from the black wolf, that of a ferocious beast with skeletal bones, as if a chilling storm was about to erupt. An indescribable sense of oppression permeated its body, like a beast just returned from battle, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Its fur was as black as an abyss in the dead of night, and every hair exuded a dangerous aura. Its eyes, like two cold stones, revealed a sharp light that seemed capable of piercing one's soul.

The prey it was carrying in its mouth, though already on its last legs, was still struggling stubbornly, refusing to give in.

The black wolf exuded a powerful aura, making its presence impossible to ignore. Jiang Ning felt a chill run down her spine. The black wolf approached Bai Ya, who, though frightened by its presence, bravely stood before Jiang Ning. The black wolf put down its prey and howled.

Wu smiled and said, "Jiang Ning, accept this. It's a gift from Black Wolf to Bai Ya."

"What is this?" Jiang Ning looked at the prey on the ground. It looked like a deer, covered in brown fur, with a pair of bony antlers on its head, and had a menacing aura.

Curious, she walked forward to observe the prey, which had many wounds on its body, some of which were still bleeding.

"This is a forest deer. They live in forests and feed on tender branches and leaves of plants. Their flesh and blood have a nourishing effect, making them perfect for raising cubs. Although forest deer are gentle in nature, they are extremely fast runners. Moreover, this is a strange-boned ferocious beast. It must have taken Black Wolf a lot of effort to catch it. We have also sent hunting teams to try to capture forest deer to raise as war pets for the tribe, but it is difficult for warriors and ordinary wolves to catch them. The strange-boned wolves also need to take turns staying behind to guard the tribe. So the tribe can only catch one or two forest deer occasionally by sheer luck."

“Take the forest deer back, cut its meat into jerky, and then each time you take…” The shaman looked around for a reference point, and finally picked up a stone the size of an egg, “take a piece of meat the size of this every day and mix it into Baiya’s food so that he can eat it.”

"Yes." Jiang Ning thought to himself, it seems that we will have to standardize weights and measures in the future, another task has been added.

"Its blood is also a good thing. Although there may not be much left now, collect it and mix it into Baiya's drinking water every day. These antlers are the hardest part of the forest deer and its best weapon. Have your father make a bone knife for you from them. You can give the strange bones to Baiya to eat later when Baiya's body can withstand them."

"Although they are called bones, they are not just simple bones. They are the source of power in the bodies of strange beasts, containing great power and special abilities. The value of strange bones far exceeds that of ordinary medicinal materials."

"As for the rest, you can handle it yourself."

"Yes."

The shaman looked at the black wolf again, a special emotion surfacing in his deep eyes. He slowly spoke: "The Heavenly Wolf is loyal to only one mate throughout its life. Baiya's mother sacrificed herself in battle many years ago to protect her master. Baiya is its only offspring."

Jiang Ning picked up Baiya and walked to the black wolf's side, put Baiya on the ground, and looked at it tenderly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Baiya, raise it, and protect it."

"I will do my best to take care of Baiya."

Black Wolf lowered his head and gently touched Jiang Ning's shoulder. He looked at Jiang Ning with his cold eyes.

Its eyes seemed to hold some complex emotions that were difficult to understand. However, Jiang Ning could sense its trust, because she was the chosen one of the witch.

Baiya slowly walked to the black wolf's feet and carefully licked its fur. Compared to the black wolf's over five-meter-long body, Baiya appeared petite and fragile.

The black wolf lowered its head and gently touched Baiya with its nose. Although the black wolf looked fierce, its eyes were full of affection for Baiya.

It licked Baiya's fur and gently touched it with its nose; these were all signs of the black wolf's care and concern for Baiya.

Baiya was also very attached to Black Wolf. It rubbed against Black Wolf, as if expressing its love and gratitude.

Jiang Ning looked at the father and son, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that this kind of kinship and trust transcended species and was one of the most beautiful things in the world.
