Chapter 339: Tribal Inclusion, Oracle Servant
Chapter 339: Tribal Inclusion, Oracle Servant
Currently known tribal information:
First, the War Emperor had problems and imprisoned himself in the Tower of Swords;
War broke out between the second and third apostles and the third and fourth apostles;
Third, the World United Government is gathering troops and heading towards the tribes.
The two-faced turtle was unhappy when he found out, and the mongoose felt the same way. After a while, the two-faced turtle turned to Chi Ping and said, "Mr. Chi, can we take Chief Mongoose with us? He's a very nice guy."
"Do you want to take him back to the tribe?" Chi Ping asked.
The two-faced turtle nodded: "Although the tribe is in civil strife, his people need him."
Chi Ping pondered silently, wondering why the tribe members who had been mummified by the Second Apostle would appear here. After all, this place was still a long way from the tribe's territory.
Even if you take a mountain vulture, it will take five or six days to fly.
Seeing that Chi Ping didn't say anything, the two-faced turtle thought that Chi Ping was too bothersome. After all, in terms of battle, no one could cause them trouble except God himself.
The mongoose, a big and rough creature, is only good at fighting.
So, the two-faced turtle said quickly: "I will take good care of Chief Mongoose along the way and will definitely not cause any trouble to anyone.
"Also, I can help everyone with things like cooking and washing dishes."
The two-faced turtle was very humble when asking for help, and its big eyes were bright and shining with light floating in them.
"It's okay." Chi Ping rubbed her head.
So, the two-faced turtle pulled the bitter mongoose and hurriedly thanked him. After thanking Chi Ping, the bitter mongoose bowed deeply to the two-faced turtle:
"You are a great prophet."
"No, nothing." The two-faced turtle was flustered by the sudden thanks.
At this point, another member joined the tribe.
However, the atmosphere in the small team was a bit strange at this time. Huoba and Xiaoyun were happily talking about Chi Ping becoming the chief regent or the commander-in-chief.
Every time Huoba got excited while talking, he would look back at Chi Ping with a smile on his face and say something that left the latter puzzled:
"This boy has the potential to be a leader!"
Ikehira objected, but his objection was ineffective.
As for the two-faced turtle's bitter mongoose, the two chatted and laughed and cried. When it came to the key point, the two-faced turtle said to Chi Ping with tears in his eyes:
"With your arrival, there is hope for the tribe!"
In short, Chi Ping couldn't get involved in the conversation on either side, making him seem like a superfluous person.
After four or five days, the group finally reached the edge of the tribal territory. Looking down from above, they could occasionally see rising smoke and wildfires.
If one had a better vision, one could see people fleeing in all directions on the ground. Most of them were the elderly, the weak, women, and children, carrying large and small bags, desperately trying to get into the border of the World United Government.
The mongoose saw this and his face turned gloomy. His eyes shifted, as if he was in a state of turmoil and torment.
The two-faced turtle's performance was even more obvious. She pulled at her clothes, wanting to ask Chi Ping for help, but she didn't know how to start.
After enduring for a while, she finally saw a familiar figure below and cried out, "Ah!" She hurriedly ran towards Chi Ping, the strong wind at high altitude making her steps a little shaky.
"Mr. Chi, can you stop for a moment?
"Can you save my people?"
Chi Ping glanced at the pursed-lipped little girl, then at the fleeing crowd on the ground—about a hundred people. Behind them, a group of tribal soldiers were chasing them.
He frowned slightly. Saving these people was not a problem, but the problem was that there were more than a hundred people. He couldn't bring them all with him, right?
"Rescue."
Chi Ping continued to speak. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yun's power caused numerous sandworms to emerge from the ground, dividing and surrounding the pursuing soldiers, devouring them one by one, and then burrowing back into the ground.
For those who fled, they only saw many indescribable strange creatures emerging from the ground and devouring their pursuers.
So they panicked even more.
Some people ran away in all directions, but fortunately the two-faced turtle appeared in time, and the prophet's reputation was still useful at this moment.
After the first person recognized the two-faced turtle, many people stopped fleeing one after another and slowly gathered around the two-faced turtle.
Then, a strong wind blew up and the vulture landed on the ground.
The leader of the fleeing group was a tribal elder, a man in his forties, also as muscular as the mongoose.
The tribal elders are actually candidates for the chieftain. Unlike feudal societies, tribes need older and more mature leaders to lead the tribe.
Therefore, within tribes, the only way to replace a chief is through abdication, where the capable person takes the position, rather than relying on bloodline inheritance. Young or underage chiefs are unable to lead the tribe to prosperity.
"Prophet." The elder was a tall and strong man, but he was as helpless as a 200-pound child in front of the two-faced turtle.
After hearing the explanation and introduction given by the two-faced turtle to both parties, Chi Ping decided to take this group of people to a safer place first.
Then we'll discuss what comes next.
The tribal territories were not entirely primitive, as some places had built cities. The most common type was a rammed earth wall that surrounded the entire settlement, and the people inside used rammed earth to build houses.
Although it is simple, it has strong cohesion.
Chi Ping and others found an abandoned village and temporarily settled the refugees.
Under the current circumstances, it was unrealistic for Chi Ping to take these people to solve the problem of the War Emperor. Chi Ping's initial idea was to ask Xiao Yun to send a few decent beasts here to protect them.
After the War Emperor's matter was resolved, these people would be resettled by the War Emperor himself. All Chi Ping provided them with was a few days of food and a safe living environment.
After thinking it over, Chi Ping gave Xiaoyun instructions and went to find the two-faced turtle. After arriving here, the two-faced turtle played the role of a prophet and took the initiative to comfort the fleeing tribesmen.
This group of people were placed in the innermost house of the abandoned village. When Chi Ping went there, he saw more than a hundred people kneeling in a large crowd, kowtowing to the two-faced turtle.
The two-faced turtle was caught off guard and was in a panic.
After trying for a long time, they couldn't help anyone get up. The elders even suggested that in times of crisis, the prophet should also serve as the chief to lead everyone through the difficulties.
The two-faced turtle man was numb. He looked at the pairs of eyes full of hope, and then looked at their tattered clothes and their panic-stricken and embarrassed appearance.
Finally, with the encouragement of Elder Mongoose, the Two-Faced Turtle nodded in agreement.
At this point, Turtle went from being a prophet to a chief prophet.
Chi Ping, who had been waiting outside, saw that things were almost done inside, so he planned to call the two-faced turtle out to discuss it.
After all, sheltering a hundred or so people and supplying them with food and drinking water are big problems.
Just when Chi Ping thought that the current situation had reached its peak, Xiao Yun, through a talking mynah bird, told Chi Ping:
"The tribal leader is here!"
The person who came was the tribe's oracle servant, who was specifically responsible for conveying oracles. He was a big figure in the tribe second only to the four apostles.
There is one more chapter, which I originally wanted to connect together, but I will post some of it first in order to catch up with the full attendance.
