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

Chapter 189 Don’t pick up men on the street

Ling from the Shrike tribe flew back on a shrike and quickly reported: "There's a flock of Firefeather Sparrows ahead. There are only three True Bone Beasts among them, and the rest are of lower level. Do you want them?"

After a moment's thought, Hongfeng made a decision: "Surprise them! You take a team and surround them."

Firefly are small animals, but their meat is delicious and very popular among the tribe.

Moreover, although they have a pair of wings, they can't fly very high and can only glide through the forest. Since we've encountered them, we can't let them go.

Ling quietly left with her people, and Hongfeng followed with the others.

Jiang Ning was overjoyed to finally fight alongside Bai Ya again, and became quite agitated. Seeing this, the giant tiger next to him quietly moved to the side.

The Megalodon was the war pet of the tiger tribe, and it looked quite different from the traditional tiger.

Aside from its distinctive canine teeth, it resembles a leopard more in appearance, with black spots evenly distributed among its brown fur. Like Sirius, the pureboned Megalodon can also fly.

Hongfeng led her men to quietly surround them, while Jiang Ning led Baiya to retreat to the back.

She held a newly acquired bow in her hand. The bow was made from the bones of the mammoth, a ferocious beast, and the bowstring was made from the finest animal sinew.

She also carried a quiver full of arrows on her back. Jiang Ning's original weapons were a fishbone knife made from the fish bones that the Rock King had spat out, and two long swords made from the hardest bone on the Barbarian River Beast. She herself was more skilled at using dual swords in close combat.

But considering that she would inevitably have to fight at high altitudes when she collaborated with Bai Ya in the future, she thought it would be better to practice her archery skills as soon as possible.

The fireflies had been startled by the hunting party, and they scattered in panic, some even spreading their wings and flying into the trees.

Jiang Ning raised Bai Ya to the air, took out a feathered arrow, nocked the arrow, slowly gathered strength in her arm, and drew the bow into a full moon shape, aiming at the fire-feathered sparrow in the tree.

With a "whoosh," the arrow pierced the air. Jiang Ning regretfully took out another arrow from behind her back. She had missed the target earlier. The feeling of shooting at a live animal was indeed different from shooting at a target. She still needed to practice more.

Another arrow was fired, this time Jiang Ning aimed at the Firefeather Sparrow hiding in the bushes on the ground. The bushes provided cover, making the Firefeather Sparrow less agile, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

Before Jiang Ning could even rejoice, a vine as thick as an arm suddenly appeared and quickly snatched away Jiang Ning's prey.

Who could tolerate this? Jiang Ning kicked Bai Ya and immediately chased after him.

Having learned from Jiang Ning's previous experience of being captured, Hongfeng handed the team over to Ling upon seeing Jiang Ning's actions and followed along herself.

The vines dragged the Firefly across the ground, leaving a clear trail. The man and the wolf followed the trail to a magnificent flower.

The flower is two meters in diameter, with numerous petals that are stacked one on top of the other. The petals in the center are light pink, and the color deepens with each layer.

Where the flower's center should be the stamen, this large red flower's center is hollow, like a large sac, somewhat resembling a pitcher plant.

A strong, sweet aroma could be smelled from afar. Jiang Ning cautiously stopped Bai Ya: "Pure Bone Ferocious Plant? Hmm... It can be fought, but it's troublesome. Never mind, I'll let you go this time. Let's go, Bai Ya."

Jiang Ning would rather fight a pack of beasts than a ferocious plant. You have no idea how many branches it has, or how far away it is from its main body.

You might spend ages cutting down a tree, only to find out that those are just aerial roots, and you haven't actually damaged its roots.

Bai Ya grunted twice, then turned around and went back with Jiang Ning on his back.

Turning around, Jiang Ning bumped into Hong Feng, who looked disapproving. Feeling guilty, Jiang Ning touched her nose and obediently followed her back.

The large flower behind it dragged the Firefly to the center of its flower head, then extended a vine to pull out the Firefly's feather arrows, closed its petals, and began to feed.

This True Bone Hunting Team consisted of thirteen level-four warriors, and with the constant blessings from the great shaman Jiang Ning, they quickly dealt with the Firefeather Sparrow flock.

The hunting party caught some other game before returning home with a bountiful harvest.

As they approached the outskirts of Jiang's residence, they suddenly saw a person lying on the roadside.

To make it easier for people from other tribes to come and trade, Jiang cleared the vegetation around the post station so that they could land there.

The people who brought their beasts through the jungle also carved out a path from the forest to the post station. Especially the section of the path near the post station, with more people walking on it, became smoother and smoother.

After entering from the post station, a road was built along the outer river. The stone houses that used to house the slaves were also demolished. People from the outer tribe walked along this road to the edge of Lotus Lake and waited outside the lake for the Jiang tribe to pick them up. Only then could they smoothly enter the trading area.

This person was lying on the road outside the post station. Hunting teams would also take this road for convenience when returning.

Hongfeng frowned. She was in charge of both the trading area and the post station. What was going on with someone lying on the main road?

She didn't call out to anyone else, but instead directed Tianlang to go forward and check.

Lying by the roadside was an adult man, his head turned to the other side, so his face was not visible. His animal skin clothing was tattered, and there appeared to be many wounds on his body, with blood staining the clothing.

Hongfeng jumped off Tianlang's back, carefully nudged the man's head with her bone knife, and turned his head back to face her.

The man's eyes were closed, and his face was pale. It was unclear whether he was unconscious or dead. He did not react at all as Hongfeng roughly slapped his body with the back of his knife.

Hongfeng grew impatient and wanted someone to drag him back to take a look.

Jiang Ning led Bai Ya forward, looked at the man on the ground, and said to Hong Feng, "Don't worry about him, let's go."

Hongfeng was puzzled: "Are we just going to leave him lying there? People will think that someone from our Jiang tribe has done something wrong."

Jiang Ning's voice was undisguised, as if she deliberately wanted someone to hear: "He's still breathing, he's not dead. This isn't a dangerous place, yet he's lying here alone. He must be waiting for someone on purpose. Otherwise, have you ever seen any tribesmen act alone? Even if he's waiting for his tribesmen to rescue him, this place is so close to the post station, how come he hasn't been rescued yet?"

If Hongfeng weren't in charge of the trading area, she wouldn't care about the lives of the outsiders. She responded in a low voice and told the hunting team to continue forward, to hurry back and process the prey while it was still early.

Jiang Ning chuckled to herself. Hong Feng hadn't read those various online novels and didn't know that you shouldn't pick up injured men who were alone on the roadside. Not only were they not ordinary people, but they would also repay kindness with enmity, at best physically and mentally abusing you, and at worst slaughtering your entire family.

After walking a distance, Jiang Ning had Hong Feng lead his men back to secretly keep an eye on the man's movements.
