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

The incident with the Green Witch also served as a reminder to Jiang Ning that she would have to properly educate her witch disciples in the future.

The shaman's talent can only be sensed by using shamanic power to probe within the body. The Sirius tribe currently only has Jiang Ning as a shaman, and the shamans of the other tribes do not have the courage to investigate the people of the Sirius tribe.

Therefore, so far, apart from Jiang Ning, no one knows that the Sirius tribe, or rather, the Jiang tribe's shaman disciples, have appeared.

Showa Meigetsu didn't receive any special treatment in the Jiang tribe. The two of them were just like ordinary children, cared for by their tribe members and growing up slowly.

Hua Rong gave a wry smile: "Jiang Wu is the real young man."

Jiang Ning asked curiously, "How could the Black Scale Witch feel comfortable sending her disciples here? For safety's sake, shouldn't the disciples always stay in the tribe?"

Hua Rong didn't intend to hide it from her, after all, many people who had been to the Black Scale Tribe knew the reason: "Not to mention the affiliated tribes, our Black Scale Tribe alone has more than 8,000 people, and there are three shaman disciples. They will take turns going out to train with the tribesmen from time to time, because there will only be one Black Scale Shaman in the future, and we need to know who is the most suitable person."

Thinking about the future of the Jiang clan, Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask, "What if the previous shaman disciple is still alive, and the next shaman disciple appears?"

Hua Rong looked at her and said, word by word, "There will be no previous shaman disciple."

Jiang Ning was stunned: "What?"

Hua Rong said, "If an accident occurs to the shaman and a new shaman disciple has not yet appeared, the shaman seal will be inherited by the shaman disciple who lost the competition with him. When the next shaman disciple appears, in order to maintain stability, the tribe will not have the previous shaman disciple."

After saying this, Hua Rong bid farewell to Jiang Ning and hurried off to catch up with the Black Scale Tribe's group.

Jiang Ning was horrified. She had never imagined such a possibility. The tribe’s respect for the shaman seemed to be ingrained in their bones. How could they possibly execute a shaman’s disciple who had failed?

Considering the bloodshed and turmoil brought about by the succession of imperial power throughout history, this seems to be a good solution.

There must have been a considerable amount of time between the two generations of sorcerer disciples, and their strength, popularity, and prestige were bound to be vastly different. If the previous sorcerer disciple wanted to do something, the new sorcerer disciple would be powerless to resist.

He was just one step away from that position. Would the previous shaman disciple really be willing to die?

The system mentioned that large tribes have very intense internal struggles. Could this be the reason?

A large tribe has hundreds of thousands of people. Even if newborns are highly valued, it is impossible for the shaman and his disciples to personally examine every pregnant woman.

If a shaman discovers a clansman with shamanic talent first, and knows that a new shaman will appear, he will die.

In this situation, will new shaman disciples be born into the tribe?

Jiang Ning finally had time to have a good chat with Bo Lao Wu. After such a long delay, Lian Wu had already given Bo Lao Wu a detailed introduction to the Jiang tribe.

While in the sky, the shaman had already observed everything in the Jiang tribe. Everything was in good order, the stone houses were built in an unusually neat manner, and the fields in the distance were full of food. Presumably, the people of the Jiang tribe would rarely go hungry.

The Jiang people I met along the way were all busy with their own things and were not disturbed by the arrival of outsiders, which shows that their leader is a clear-headed person and has a good way of managing the tribe.

After listening to Lianwu's explanation, it became clear that although there were many rules, they were beneficial to the tribespeople, so Bo Laowu was completely relieved.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning approach, the shaman, Bo Lao, trembling, was helped to his feet by a shaman disciple sitting beside him. He then slowly bowed down and said, "I am willing to offer my shaman seal and lead the Bo Lao tribe to join the Jiang tribe. I only ask that the shaman Jiang protect Bo Lao."

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow. This person made a decision so quickly?

He seemed to be walking with such a brisk pace just a moment ago? How could his health deteriorate so quickly?

However, a complete tribe is much easier to control than those without a leader. As long as their shaman is controlled, the others won't be able to cause any trouble.

Jiang Ning stepped forward to accept the gift, which then allowed the shrike to get up.

"Where did this Shrike Witch come from?"

“Our Shrike tribe lives in the lower reaches of the Nu River. The river there is much more turbulent than here. The water roars as it is pounded, and you can hear it from a great distance. Only those who have been there know why this river is called the Nu River.”

The shaman seemed to be a very talkative person, and began to ramble on about the shaman tribe.

He spoke slowly and unhurriedly: "The waters over there are swift, the beasts are ferocious, and the tribes living there are all powerful. But you should know that once a tribe starts to decline, it can never stop."

“Our tribe used to be quite strong, and we could barely establish ourselves there. The surrounding tribes didn’t dare to do anything to us. But a few years ago, our tribe’s strongest hunting team encountered a powerful beast and perished. Our tribe’s strength has been getting weaker and weaker, so we have to find a new way out.”

At this point, the Shrike seemed unable to continue and stopped.

That's true. If they weren't desperate to survive, who would want their tribe to depend on someone else?

If they misjudge someone or follow the wrong person, the tribe might just disappear.

The shaman disciple next to him continued, "The Blackscale Tribe also frequently comes to our tribe to trade. During this migration, we happened to run into Captain Huarong. Captain Huarong told us that there is a tribal alliance here, where each tribe does not interfere with the others, and everyone can live peacefully here. That's why we followed the Blackscale Tribe here."

"After arriving in the Jiang tribe, everything we saw was indeed as Captain Hua Rong had said. People from different tribes could live together harmoniously here. The Lian Wu just introduced us to the rules of the Jiang tribe, which we are willing to abide by. As long as the Jiang tribe treats our people well, we are willing to give our lives for the Jiang tribe."

Jiang Ning's expression softened further: "I still don't know how to address this person?"

The man hurriedly replied, "I am a disciple of the shaman of the Shrike tribe. Shaman Jiang can call me Gray Feather."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "So you're a Grey Witch. Welcome to the Jiang Clan."

"Grey Witch" is an honorific title, and it's not unusual for Jiang Ning, given his status, to directly call a disciple of a subordinate tribe by his name.

Huiyu said respectfully, "Jiang Wu is too kind. It is a blessing for the shrike that the Jiang tribe is willing to take it in."

Jiang Ning changed the subject and asked how many people were in the Boluo Boluo tribe.

Gray Feather said, "The Shrike Tribe currently has 371 people and over 800 shrikes. There are 17 level 3 warriors and 15 pure bone shrikes."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "The Boluo tribe is indeed very strong."

Gray Feather glanced at Jiang Ning's expression and explained, "Jiang Wu, please don't take offense. It's not that we're unwilling to use the shrike to bring those unclaimed people over, but the shrike is fierce and warlike. It only allows its own people to approach, and it will attack any outsiders who get close. We've kept our distance from the Blackscale Tribe all this way."
