We made you the chief, and now you've become the world's chief?

Chapter 103 Proposing Marriage?

Led by Damon, the wise man, Dali, and a dozen other men all crossed the log bridge.

They were all carrying large baskets on their backs, and each of them was quite strong. Apart from a few strong men from the former salt-harvesting team, they were members of the hunting team.

This time, however, they brought no weapons, and their baskets were empty.

Because their leader, Damon, told them that they would be bringing back a lot of things this time.

Damon mentally recalled the suitable "price" he had previously come up with.

After confirming several times, they began to worry that the Xia tribe might not have enough supplies to give because of the heavy rain.

For the Da tribe, heavy rain means no productivity and they can only stay indoors.

There's nothing we can do but consume things out of thin air.

Because what they found in that forest, braving the heavy rain, wasn't enough to replenish the energy they had wasted.

Even going to the edge of the swamp to find taro is impossible. Not only does the swamp spread to the shore when heavy rains come, making it difficult to find, but there is also the possibility that swamp insects may take the opportunity to crawl into your body.

It was this impression formed in the Da tribe that led all the people of the Da tribe to believe that the Xia tribe would suffer just as badly as they would after experiencing this heavy rain.

In the dense forest, the raindrops on the leaves had not yet dried, and as you walked, you would occasionally encounter large trees in the forest.

Water droplets cascaded down the leaves of the big tree, creating a small-scale "artificial rain" that gave the group of people from the Da tribe a refreshing shower.

But after the heavy rain, the forest has recovered its vitality and is even more vibrant than before.

The birdsong was even more intense, a constant cacophony that drowned out the wise man's occasional violent coughs.

Just then, something unexpected happened: a pebble flew over from nowhere.

It landed right next to the group of people in the tree.

A little yellow bird fell down and landed right in front of Damon.

"this is mine!"

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the bushes in front of them.

It was Xi Shiji who, after receiving the slingshot as a reward from the chief, went into the forest to hunt birds, just like the other children who had slingshots.

However, Hishiki wanted to catch bigger and more birds, so he didn't stick with the other children but went further away.

Xi Shiji recognized that these were people from the Da tribe, and also knew that the Da tribe and the Xia tribe were not currently fighting.

Only after confirming that these people wouldn't steal his "spoils of war" did he slowly step forward.

Damon picked up the little yellow bird and saw that it was dead beyond any doubt. He also noticed that there were no arrows on Hishi's body.

Just as Damon was wondering how this teenager managed to shoot the bird, he noticed the slingshot in Hishi's hand.

"You're using this to hunt birds?"

Damon asked a question, handing over the little yellow bird he had picked up.

But Xi Shiji didn't answer. He took the bird and ran away.

It was already smaller than an adult and was naturally agile, so it disappeared into the bushes in the blink of an eye.

"Just like the small bow and arrow, it must have been created by the wisdom of the Xia tribe chief."

Accompanied by two coughs, the wise man's somewhat hoarse voice rang out.

He immediately understood the principle of the slingshot, but he was also a little puzzled, because it was indeed incredible for the Da tribe that a child could hit a bird.

"That one."

Upon hearing the wise man's words, Damon's face immediately lit up with joy.

He silently added this to his list of items he wanted to exchange with the Xia tribe. A child could use this to shoot birds; it was far superior to the bows and arrows of the Da tribe.

If the Da tribe had enough slingshots, they could obtain more meat.

“The Xia tribe must be in a worse situation than us when it rains. Now the children have to come out to find food.”

At that moment, a murmur arose from the crowd, and Damon nodded in agreement.

Everyone became even more convinced of this fact, and the Da tribe, who had previously been overshadowed by the Xia tribe, now once again possessed that sense of pride.

Of course, this sense of pride was incredibly short-lived, fleeting as soon as they entered the Salt Spring Mountain.

The group continued onward and soon arrived at the sparse forest area, where they were very close to the riverside cave of Yanquan Mountain.

When they arrived, they found that Xia Minghao was already waiting at the cave entrance.

Just now, Xia Minghao was in the mountains watching the big orange tree bite the fence.

It may seem like he's grinding his teeth, but he's probably actually planning to escape.

Although the fence has been raised again, after a while, the orange cat's jumping ability will probably improve again, making it easy for it to escape.

The people of the Xia tribe were terrified, and Da Ju would breathe on everyone he met.

Except myself.

Not only did it not breathe on me, it was also quite affectionate towards me.

But if I were to raise them myself, I wouldn't have the time...

If you put it in the tent and it gets scratched up, you'll regret it.

Just as he was worrying, he suddenly saw Xi Shi rushing back, saying that the people of the Da tribe had arrived.

And that withered old man, whom the Da tribe called "the wise man," actually came too.
Xia Minghao waited early at the riverbank at the entrance of the cave to see what the Da tribe's arrival was all about.

Upon seeing it, Xia Minghao was even more puzzled.

Because he saw that Dali, who had tied the beaver skin to her chest, had also arrived.

Moreover, he was accompanied by many men, none of whom were carrying weapons, and their baskets were even empty.

What are you here for?
Unlike trade, and unlike the first time, this was not a negotiation with the Xia tribe.

“The wise men and chiefs of the Da tribe, explain your purpose.”

As the crowd approached, Xia Minghao spoke, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.

He noticed that Dali was scrutinizing every part of his body with an extremely intense gaze, which made him feel very uneasy.

"Chief of the Xia tribe, the vines of our Da tribe entwine your great trees, bearing countless fruits together, making the forests of the Xia and Da tribes even more lush."

Xia Minghao was taken aback when he heard this.

What the hell? Are you swearing? What do you mean by "entwined vines"?

Seeing that the wise Xia tribe chief didn't understand, Damon thought for a moment and then changed his approach.

"Chief of the Xia tribe, our tribe grows the most lush trees in the best soil, and we want to take root in your tribe's soil, to be bathed in sunlight and rain together."

What is that? It's rooted in the ground and exposed to wind and rain?
Xia Minghao frowned, opening his mouth to let these Da tribesmen speak their minds.

At this point, Dali finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up directly.

"Chief of the Xia tribe, I want to mate with you... and I will only mate with you from now on..."
