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

The Clam Tribe diverted water from the Tianlang River to their settlement and dug a lake. Some of the tribe's children were rolling around in the lake, practicing their underwater combat skills to prepare for future tribal life and battles.

Looking at them, Jiang Ning realized that she was still a complete landlubber here.

In her past life, she could swim, but after coming here, she was never allowed to go near the water since she was a child. So many years have passed, and she has probably become rusty.

The people of the Sirius tribe are probably all landlubbers. They usually forage in the jungle, and even when they need to be near water, they only stay in shallow water.

Jiang Ning found the Clam Witch: "Does your tribe have anyone who can teach the people of the Sky Wolf Tribe to swim?" They couldn't just hand over the Sky Wolf Tribe's waters to the Clam Tribe for complete control.

"Of course, I'll arrange for someone to accompany you right away," the clam witch agreed without hesitation.

Since joining the Sirius tribe, the clam tribe has also learned to cultivate crops. Although they haven't harvested anything yet, they have learned about many edible things.

This mountain range has never been explored before, and the clam tribe's gathering team has reaped a bountiful harvest, freeing up the hunting team to hunt the strange skeletal beasts.

The Clam Tribe had previously lost a hunting party, which drastically reduced the number of warriors in the tribe, posing a severe challenge to its survival.

Autumn was approaching, and the shaman feared that the tribe's small number of warriors would prevent them from surviving the winter.

Therefore, the shaman became ruthless and ordered the remaining warriors to form two hunting teams. One team went out to hunt ferocious beasts, while the other team stayed behind to guard the tribe.

The two hunting teams took turns, and despite losing several warriors, they did manage to bring back a few ferocious beasts.

Aside from those to be handed over to the Sirius Tribe, the Clam Witch immediately selected several people to consume the Strange Bone and personally protected them during their breakthrough. With three more Level 2 warriors added to the Clam Tribe, he finally felt relieved.

With the prophecy of divination preceding it, and now seeing the strength of the clam tribe gradually increasing, the clam shaman is even more convinced of Jiang Ning's abilities.

Jiang Ning led five warriors from the Clam Tribe back to the riverbank of the Sky Wolf Tribe, but instead of taking them any further, he told them to wait there.

The tribes here rarely allow outsiders to enter their territory. When the Clam Tribe delivers its prey, it simply sends it to the entrance of the Sirius Tribe, and the warriors at the outpost will notify the Sirius people to come and collect it.

Back in the tribe, there was no spring plowing or autumn harvest to do at this time of year, so there was nothing to do and many people were carrying firewood back and forth.

Besides needing a lot of firewood for heating in winter, the tribe also consumes a lot of firewood just for making fires and roasting meat every day. While they have some free time now, the warriors should store up more firewood so that things will be easier in the fall.

Jiang Ning found the chief and told him about arranging for people to learn to swim.

In a tribe, the shaman is like the highest leader, while the chief is like the chief steward. With so many people in the tribe, the chief is responsible for ensuring that everyone is well-fed and clothed, and for preventing anyone from shirking their duties.

The chief naturally didn't want the Sirius tribe's waters to be guarded by others. He thought for a moment and said, "The tribe isn't busy right now, so let one team go and learn first, and then we can take turns later."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Jiang Ning found Hong Yue and took people to learn to swim.

The first hunting team harbored the deepest hatred for the clam tribe. However, the entire hunting team that attacked them had been killed, and the clam tribe had become subservient to the Sky Wolf tribe after pledging allegiance to them. The first hunting team had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Seeing that Jiang Wu had arranged for them to learn to swim from the people of the Clam Tribe, the group secretly vowed to learn to swim better and surpass the people of the Clam Tribe.

The people of the clam tribe stood guard on the shore, and when they saw them coming, they silently walked into the water.

Although the lotus pond of the Sirius tribe has been expanded, the water is not deep. With lotuses planted and fish released, there is really no place for them to learn to swim.

The fish skin clothing worn by the Bang tribe people is processed by them so that it doesn't absorb much water, so they don't need to take off their clothes.

In the hot summer, the Sirius people wear bark clothing. Bark is everywhere in this primeval jungle, and they can harvest a lot of firewood every day just by cutting down trees.

Jiang Ning didn't make them take off their clothes, only their straw sandals, and went into the water with them to avoid seeing any offensive scenes.

The clam shaman is arranging for people to go into the water to drive away the water beasts in the surrounding area, so that they won't be attacked by the water beasts when they learn to swim.

Seeing the commotion from afar, and noticing that the Sirius tribe had arranged for so many people to learn to swim, they sent ten more warriors to help.

The clam tribesmen led the seraphim to a place where the water was just above waist level. Each clam tribesman brought two seraphim to let them get used to the water flow and temperature.

After they got used to it, the people of the clam tribe began to teach them to hold their breath and put their heads in the water. This unfamiliar feeling caused many of the Sirius people to choke on water.

Sometimes the current became strong, and the Sirius warriors lost control of their bodies in the water. This feeling of weightlessness made them feel a rare sense of panic.

Someone couldn't help but look up to find Jiang Ning. With her experience from her previous life, Jiang Ning learned quickly and had already begun practicing treading water under the guidance of the clam tribe people. Seeing this, the person could only continue practicing holding their breath.

Jiang Ning quickly learned to swim, and she moved through the water with ease, as if she were one with the water.

Baiya was also swimming around with several siris wolves. After it grew up, it seemed to have developed a sense of responsibility for its species. When it had nothing to do, it would take the grown-up siris wolves out to practice hunting, just like it used to be led by other siris wolves to hunt.

As if born with the ability to "dog paddle," Tianlang used all four limbs to swim swiftly in the water, occasionally diving down to snatch a small fish and swallowing it whole.

The other Sirius warriors, not to be outdone, were warriors after all and had great control over their bodies, and quickly mastered the swimming techniques.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath and slowly dived underwater. The water here had become murky because of the activities of so many people. She swam to a more distant place to explore this unknown water.

During the underwater swim, various fish and shrimp swam by her from time to time, moving freely in the water. She could also see some clams with their shells open, hunting for food on the riverbed, and occasionally some bold carnivorous fish would try to rush up and take a bite.

Jiang Ning, being a soldier, grabbed the fish, intending to take it back for a meal. The fish was very strong in the water, and its scales were slippery. Jiang Ning had no experience catching fish in the water, so it easily escaped and swam far away with a flick of its tail.

She dared not venture any further. She had only just mastered swimming and was not yet capable of fighting in the water. If she encountered a dangerous water beast and her vehicle capsized, things would get really messy.
