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

Jiang Ning went to a secluded spot and asked the others to help guard it.

She channeled her magical power and began to meditate.

The place where the shaman resides must be the place with the strongest shamanic power in the entire tribe. As long as you find this place, you can find the shaman.

Jiang Ning carefully sensed the surrounding atmosphere. The area was filled with white light spots. Following the light spots, she discovered a particularly bright spot nearby.

She opened her eyes and led the group quickly toward that place.

Sure enough, the shaman of the clam tribe was performing a blessing here, empowering the tribe's warriors. He was chanting incantations, and the surrounding air seemed to be drawn in by his magical power.

Several soldiers were guarding the side.

She rushed towards the shaman, unleashing her magical power. A powerful surge of energy erupted from within her, interrupting his blessing.

The shaman sensed the threat posed by this energy, and he quickly turned around, releasing his shamanic power to defend himself.

Jiang Ning spoke up, "Clam Witch, tell your people to stop. I have something to say."

The shaman of the clam tribe sneered, "Stop? Stop and wait to die?"

“If you stop now, the Clam Tribe can still survive. But if the fighting continues, things might not be so good!” Jiang Ning waved his hand, signaling the others to rush forward and subdue the warriors next to the Clam Witch.

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle. Seeing that he still refused to let the people of the Clam Tribe stop, Jiang Ning continued, "You can see clearly from here that the Clam Tribe is no match for our Sky Wolf Tribe. Do you want to watch your people die in front of you?"

Most of those following Jiang Ning were level two warriors. The attack was sudden, and only a few warriors gathered around the clam witch. They were quickly captured by the people of the Sky Wolf tribe.

"I'll say it one last time: tell your people to stop, or the Clam Tribe will perish in your hands today. You should know that even if you don't want to, as long as I bring you before them, they will have no choice but to stop. If they stop then, your fate will be very different!"

Although her voice wasn't loud, it carried an undeniable power. The surrounding soldiers were awestruck by her presence and dared not show the slightest disrespect.

The clam shaman looked at Jiang Ning, a flicker of fear in his eyes. He didn't know when such a young shaman had appeared in the Sky Wolf tribe, but he knew what she said was true. If they continued to resist, the clam tribe might face annihilation.

He struggled for a moment, then said weakly, "I agree to your request, and I'll make my people stop."

Hongyue instructed the others to watch over the warriors of the clam tribe, while she herself stayed by the clam shaman's side.

He walked to an open area, a high platform from which he could clearly overlook the battle below.

As he stood on the high platform, looking down at the battlefield, a pang of pain welled up in his heart. He saw his people fighting fiercely against the enemy; they were skilled in water combat, yet they were facing the Sky Wolf tribe.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and wondered if his decision was right or wrong. Would a massacre follow if his tribe stopped fighting?

Finally, he used his magical powers and shouted, "People of the Clam Tribe, stop immediately!"

His voice echoed in the air, clear and powerful. His people heard his voice, and although they were full of doubt about the clam shaman's command, their instinct for shamanism made them stop their attacks and look up at him on the high platform.

Following the actions of the Clam Tribe, the Sirius Tribe seized the opportunity to capture them.

Jiang Ning stepped forward. "Let's go downstairs and talk."

Upon arriving at the lake, Jiang Ning looked around. Fortunately, the Tianlang tribe had sent a large number of people this time, and only some had suffered minor injuries, which relieved her somewhat.

Clam Witch was led to the lakeside by Red Moon, and Jiang Ning spoke up, "Tell me, why did you attack the Sirius Tribe?"

By this time, the Clam Tribe had no way out. The Clam Shaman decisively said, "I am a diviner. In the spring, I foresaw that your Sirius Tribe would make a big move that would plunge our Clam Tribe into crisis. Rather than waiting to die, we should strike first."

Jiang Ning was completely baffled by this reason. Neither she, the shaman, nor the chieftain had ever considered attacking the surrounding tribes.

The pig rushed to the clam shaman, filled with grief and indignation, and demanded, "Just for this? You killed my father? With the strength of your clam tribe, would you have dared to act without the involvement of other tribes?"

The warriors of the nearby clam tribe wanted to rebuke the pig for daring to disrespect their clam shaman, but were firmly held down by the warriors of the Sky Wolf.

"If it were you, would you just watch other tribes grow stronger and do nothing but stay in your tribe and wait to die?" the clam shaman shouted.

“Without anyone else, my Clam Tribe is about to perish, and I would not lie to you for anyone else. Our people are excellent swimmers. I once had someone swim all the way from the Clam River to your tribe. Even your Sky Wolf could not smell the scent in the water. Even if there was any movement in the water, you would only think that the river beasts were fighting.”

Jiang Ning remained silent upon hearing this. Indeed, the Tianlang tribe had never considered the Tianlang River in their defenses, and such a huge loophole had to be plugged.

“I knew your hunting party only had thirty people, so I arranged for more than fifty people to attack, just to wipe out your hunting party one by one. But now it seems they are all dead, aren’t they?” As he said this, the clam shaman’s voice trembled slightly.

Jiang Ning said without any mercy, "That's right, since you dared to come, you should know the price of failure!"

The people of the Clam Tribe were unaware that the hunting party was gone, and they became agitated, attempting to attack Jiang Ning. Unfortunately, the warriors of the Sky Wolf had already disarmed them and aimed their weapons at their vital points.

Jiang Ning looked at them, then turned to the clam shaman, "You're not convinced? You dared to offend the Sky Wolf Tribe, this is your fate! Clam shaman, all of this is your fault! I'm telling you all this now to give you a choice: pledge allegiance to our Sky Wolf Tribe, or the clam tribe will perish here today. Clam shaman, don't worry, as a fellow shaman, I'll give you some face and personally give you a quick death."

Upon hearing the words "It's all your fault," the clam shaman's already gloomy face turned even paler. He was a diviner who had always been divining and making decisions about the tribe's future.

In the end, after all the divination, it turned out that he himself had led the clam tribe to such a state!

He seemed to have aged considerably in an instant, his back hunched, and his eyes had lost their former sparkle.

He looked at his people, some wounded, some weary; it should have been a peaceful day.

After a long while, he knelt on one knee before Jiang Ning, bowed to her, and begged her to spare his people. "You are right, it is my fault. I have offended the Tianlang tribe. I am willing to pay with my life, only asking for your forgiveness. I am willing to offer up the witch seal. From now on, the Clam tribe will be loyal to the Tianlang tribe and fight together against foreign enemies."

The people of the Clam Tribe were heartbroken, yet they were powerless to stop it. This was their shaman, who had humbled himself to such an extent for their sake.

“Alright.” Jiang Ning nodded. “But you and your people must understand that this is the last time. If you dare to do anything to harm the Sky Wolf Tribe again, the Clam Tribe will have no chance of survival.”

The clam spirit bowed her head deeply, "Yes!"

Seeing that the shaman had already bowed his head, the members of the clam tribe had no choice but to accept their fate and follow the clam shaman in bowing as well.
