Chapter 1014, The Wild Fox Tribe’s Plan

Translator: Silavin

 

Rain continued to fall ceaselessly, as if a great hole had been torn in the sky. The people of the Wild Fox Tribe were quite comfortable though, because their Tribe was located on a high slope.

 

No matter how high the rain water accumulated in the forest, it did not matter. It couldn’t affect the lives of the Wild Fox Tribe people at all.

 

Ye Tu was currently leading the Totem Warriors on patrol around the Tribe’s perimeter. Even during the rainy season, such duties could not be neglected.

 

He had originally been the Team Leader who led Warriors to various Tribes to trade, but due to the rainy season, he was temporarily serving as the Patrol Leader.

 

Just because they were situated on high ground, danger still existed everywhere. Although the danger of being flooded was eliminated, the danger from Ferocious Beasts still existed.

 

Indeed, the Ferocious Beasts in the flood water repeatedly attempted to come ashore. There was no other reason than they needed to find food.

 

Food in the water that could be eaten had mostly been consumed. What remained were things they could not consume, or were beasts even more ferocious than themselves.

 

Ye Tu’s daily work was to drive away these Ferocious Beasts. This was also their main food source during the rainy season.

 

That was right. The large quantities of food prepared before the rainy season still weren’t enough to feed everyone in the entire Tribe. One must know that the Wild Fox Tribe was a Large Tribe with several tens of thousands of people. There were only a few hundred Warriors. Even if they worked day and night, the food they hunted could not feed so many people.

 

Many people could only eat one meal a day, or one meal every two or three days, just to avoid starving to death. But the rainy season gave them a breathing opportunity. The Ferocious Beasts in the accumulated water could completely solve this problem.

 

Even if the meat did not taste good, it was at least food. They could at least fill their stomachs. When facing hunger, the taste of food was hardly of grave importance. Even if a Ferocious Beast had been dead for a long time, those starving people would not mind.

 

“What a tedious life. Every day is the same, and the food doesn’t even taste good.” Ye Tu could not help complaining, feeling it was rather joyless.

 

“Leader, I also really want the rainy season to end quickly. That way we can go to the Spotted Deer Tribe.” Huang Ji seemed to be full of longing.

 

He was Ye Tu’s devoted follower, and also a Warrior of considerable strength. He was close to breaking through from Low-Grade to become a Mid Grade Warrior.

 

However, it had already been one or two years, and he still hadn’t broken through. Originally the Tribe had wanted to focus on cultivating him.

 

Unfortunately, they kept waiting for his moment to shine. The Tribe gradually lost patience.

 

From the moment they gave up, they stopped allocating excessive resources to him and gave him no special treatment. He became just like the other ordinary Warriors.

 

Originally having no opportunity to break through, without the enhancement of these  resources, he had even less chance to break through. So, it has remained this way.

 

“Who doesn’t want that? This kind of life is tedious and harsh. Leaving the Tribe to go adventuring outside is the best.” Ye Tu said helplessly. To be honest, recently when sleeping at night, he had been dreaming of leaving the Tribe to go outside.

 

Did this mean he did not like the Tribe? No, he loved the Wild Fox Tribe, due to its size and status.

 

But that was all. He only loved that the Tribe was large, something other Tribes lacked. As for the life he wanted, the Wild Fox Tribe could not give him that. Compared to staying inside the Tribe, Ye Tu wanted more to go outside and see the world.

 

“Why don’t we go out during the rainy season? The Tribe has so many Warriors. In any case, plenty of people can patrol. We won’t be missed.” Huang Ji immediately urged him on. The smile across his face showed this wasn’t the first day he had thought this way.

 

The reason Ye Tu could be liked by so many Warriors and could lead a team of twelve people to other Tribes to exchange goods was undoubtedly because his thinking aligned with those Warriors’ thinking. Everyone was that kind of unrestrained person.

 

“Leave the Tribe during the rainy season?” Ye Tu suspected his ears had heard incorrectly.

 

“Yes. Look. If we go out to exchange goods in advance, when the rainy season ends we can return. Wouldn’t this save quite a bit of time?” Huang Ji immediately explained.

 

Each time, the Warriors would only leave the Tribe when the rainy season ended. Going back and forth took approximately ten days or so.

 

“Are you mad? When did you have this idea?” Ye Tu could hardly believe it after hearing this.

 

“I’m really serious. In any case, we don’t have much to do in the Tribe, and our tasks aren’t irreplaceable. At most, people can substitute for us.” Huang Ji had no intention of restraining himself. “In any case, we’ve already gone out so many times. We’re already very familiar with the forest. We can manage fine for our own safety.”

 

“So what are you thinking of doing?” Ye Tu asked.

 

“In any case, the accumulated water is full of Ferocious Beasts. As long as we don’t move through the water, we’ll be fine. We can move between trees.”

 

Huang Ji surveyed their surroundings. “We don’t need to take so many people out this time. In any case, there are only about ten days left in the rainy season. We can completely spend the remaining days at other Tribes.” When he spoke these words, there was not any hesitation. His thoughts were also very clear.

 

One could imagine he had truly thought about this for a long time. Otherwise, there was absolutely no way he could have such clear reasoning.

 

“It’s not impossible to consider, but you need to know that during the rainy season, all the Market Tribes won’t be open.” Ye Tu suddenly thought of this point.

 

Leaving the Wild Fox Tribe was not difficult at all. The key point was whether there would be things to trade after reaching other Tribes.

 

“We definitely won’t go to the Tribes we’ve been to before. Leader should have heard of the Flame Dragon Tribe, right?” Huang Ji asked with a beaming smile.

 

That was right. He had already made enquiries about this Tribe before. He had long been very interested in this Tribe.

 

“Of course I’ve heard of it. I’ve heard this Tribe is very good, with everything you could want inside.” Ye Tu answered without hesitation.

 

He had just discussed this matter with the Chieftain last time, but hadn’t thought about going to have a look. After all, it was a newly risen Tribe. Everything was rather uncertain. They didn’t dare take risks with Tribes whose backgrounds were unknown.

 

“Exactly. So why don’t we go there?” Huang Ji struck while the iron was hot.

 

“Do you have detailed information about this Tribe? I want to understand more.” Ye Tu was clearly tempted.

 

However, he still reminded himself internally that he must understand more about this Tribe and definitely couldn’t take risks carelessly.

 

No one knew what the Flame Dragon Tribe actually had. Not a single person from the Wild Fox Tribe had been there. Being cautious was always correct.

 

“I also heard about it from others. I heard this Tribe is newly risen and receives people during the rainy season.” Huang Ji was not too certain either. These were all things he had heard about.

 

“…” Ye Tu thought pensively.
