Chapter 175 They might become food for the wolf
The young females followed suit, and the valley was filled with their cheerful laughter and conversation.
"Oh, this sweet potato is so big!" A female exclaimed in surprise, holding up a round sweet potato.
"Haha, we will definitely gain a lot today." Another female responded excitedly.
After digging for a while, the sweet potatoes had piled up into a small hill.
Nan Qiao stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "We have to find a way to bring these sweet potatoes back."
Everyone started discussing it.
A clever female said, "We can make a net with vines so we can carry the sweet potatoes back home."
So everyone took action, weaving a net with tough vines and carrying it on their backs.
Although it was a bit heavy, everyone's face was filled with a satisfied smile.
The Stone Tribe.
Ulan, Bater and others returned to the Stone Tribe exhausted.
Wulan walked in front with a hint of pride on her face, as if she had accomplished something great.
"Everyone come quickly and get the items we exchanged!" Ulan shouted loudly, and her voice sounded like she was the captain of the entire team.
Wulan has a graceful figure and long, shiny black hair, with a few colorful feathers interspersed in her hair as decoration.
She had a standard oval face, healthy wheat-colored skin, and rosy lips, the corners of which were always slightly raised, with a hint of pride.
She wore a short top carefully cut from animal skin, and a short skirt made of the same material, showing off her good figure anytime and anywhere.
Bater is tall and strong, like a moving mountain. His skin is bronze and there is a noticeable scar on his face, which makes him look scary.
The males in the tribe stopped what they were doing and gathered around, their eyes full of anticipation.
Bartel and several other males put the packages they were carrying on the ground and started to get things out.
"Look, this is a beautiful feather headdress, and these colorful stone beads can be strung together to make a necklace!" Ulan showed it excitedly.
However, as everyone looked at these things, disappointment gradually appeared on their faces.
An older tribesman frowned and complained, "What are these?"
"These are all things for female grooming. What we need most right now is not these. What we need are things that can help us survive, such as better tools and more food. These things are completely useless."
Wulan was speechless. Of course you think these are useless. I exchanged these for myself. Otherwise, how could I dress myself up and make myself more outstanding?
However, she still smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do. The Big Tree Tribe is too cunning."
"We wanted to exchange our meat for something useful, but they refused. We have no chance to exchange for those useful things unless we can participate in the Hundred Departments Conference, where we will have more exchange qualifications."
At this moment, a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of a male tribesman: "Fortunately, we can all participate in the Hundred Divisions Conference in the future."
Ulan and Bater looked at him strangely, their faces full of disbelief.
Wulan sneered, "Participate in the Hundred Tribes Conference? What are you talking about? With the current state of our Stone Tribe, how can we possibly participate in the Hundred Tribes Conference?"
Bater also nodded: "Yes, our tribe is so short of even basic supplies, let alone fire, and we are still participating in the Hundred Tribes Conference, don't joke."
The male immediately retorted, "We have a Chosen One who is willing to live in our tribe. He found fire and brought us unprecedented changes."
"With the fire, we can certainly participate in the Hundred Divisions Conference."
When Wulan heard this, his heart moved. He thought to himself, "Lord Chosen One? If I can become the Lord Chosen One's partner, my status in the tribe will be even higher. Who would dare to say anything bad about me then?"
But before she could continue her fantasy, another male said with a smile: "The Chosen One is much more beautiful than Wulan. His skin is so white, just like the moon in the sky."
Wulan was immediately surprised and asked uncertainly, "Is the Chosen One a female?"
Everyone nodded and replied, "Yes, she is a very powerful and beautiful female."
Bater was a little bit unconvinced. The chosen one means the strong one, and the strong ones are always males, so how could they be females?
He frowned and asked, "Where is the person? I want to see what kind of person he is."
Someone replied, "The Chosen One has taken the females of the tribe to the valley ahead to dig sweet potatoes."
Bater looked puzzled: "What is a sweet potato?"
Wulan didn't care what the sweet potato was. She said with a gloating look on her face, "When we came back, we saw a group of brutal blood-fang wolves running towards the other side of the valley."
"I was wondering what they were in such a hurry to do. Turns out they were busy hunting."
"I'm afraid that the Chosen One you mentioned will become food for the brutal Bloodfang Wolves along with the females of our tribe."
Kamu, who was standing by, heard this and turned pale. He said anxiously, "Oh no! The Chosen One and the females are in danger. We have to go save them."
Seeing this, Wulan immediately walked over and wanted to snuggle into Kamu's arms, saying coquettishly, "It's too late. It was quite a while ago that we saw the wolves passing through the valley. By now, they should have been eaten to the bone."
"Kamu, I've been gone for so many days, don't you miss me?"
Kamu easily dodged Wulan and said with a stern face, "Even so, we have to bring their remains back. The Chosen One has done a favor for our tribe, and we can't just leave them alone."
The other males also responded: "Yes, we can't give up, and the female is also our partner."
Gru said, "Didn't you say that the female was very powerful? She could kill a brutal blood-fang wolf by herself, so she should be able to kill a group of them. Why panic?"
He said this, but his face showed a gloating expression, as if he had already seen Nan Qiao and a group of females die at the hands of the wolf.
Wulan was ignored by Kamu, and stood there with a red face and some anger.
She bit her lip, secretly hoping that the blood-fang wolves had already killed Nan Qiao, so that no one could threaten her position in the tribe.
"Hmph, if you want to go, go ahead, but don't lose your life." Wulan said sarcastically.
Bater glanced at Wulan, then said to Kamu, "Let's go and see what's left of them."
Nan Qiao and the females were walking back to the tribe, carrying loads of sweet potatoes, talking and laughing.
Before they left the valley, suddenly, a low roar came from the woods ahead, and then a group of ferocious blood-fang wolves appeared in their sight.
