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

Chapter 128 The Power of the Wind Totem!
As the sun rose again, an exploration team, led by Lipa and assisted by Usa, Daka, and Yezi, consisting of fifteen armed team members and more than forty outsiders, set out to find the location of the Wind Tribe.

Armed forces are there to have the ability to deal with sudden dangers, but do not include the remaining wolf tribes.

If they encounter other wolf tribes, they will need these forty-odd outsiders to hold the line.

We must find those Wind Tribe members that the leaves sensed.

This is not only to give Ye Zi an explanation, but also because if so many people with totem abilities like Ye Zi can be used by the Xia tribe, their strength will be enhanced to an epic degree.

We have to take risks, and risks could lead to deaths. If people do die, we can't let the Xia tribe die.

Because of their fear of the Xia tribe chief, these people obediently walked to the front of the group.

The wooden boxes, made overnight, were strung together like prayer beads and hung around Xia Minghao's neck.

Each one contained a totem stone, all spoils taken from the bodies of the slain wolf tribesmen.

The four or five-pound bear teeth were already enough to weigh down his neck, and now there was this string of wooden boxes containing totem stones. Xia Minghao finally understood what it meant to "if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight".

The ruins have been mostly cleared. At the same time, Xia Minghao also had the outsiders and the Da tribe form an exploration team to check whether there were any remaining forces of the Wolf Tribe in the vicinity.

As for the Xia tribe, under Xima's organization, they also began to resume production.

With the wartime state of affairs about to end completely, the Xia tribe will enter a period of rapid development, quickly advancing its technology and enriching its material life as much as possible.

As for the Da clan, Xia Minghao is not planning to let them go back immediately.

Instead, they were to stay in the Xia tribe for some education before letting them go back.

Those who returned were no longer simply members of the Da clan, but included members of the Xia tribe from various clans and other outsiders.

At the same time, Xia Minghao also planned to appoint Chi Wei as the security captain of the Da clan to counterbalance the Da clan's original strength and to act as his informant.

As for those outsiders who have not yet been selected to enter the Xia tribe, Xia Minghao plans to send them all back.

If these unambitious and complacent people are left in the Xia tribe, they will undoubtedly hold the Xia tribe back.

Let them return to their former tribal locations, which will allow them to control the resources of that region, and then the Xia tribe can easily acquire abundant resources through trade.

"Chief, the wolf tribe has opened their eyes!"

Just as they were making plans, Lipa walked over.

Xia Minghao's eyes lit up; he was finally awake and wanted to ask him something.

Inside the earthen house, Gadan was bound in a spread-eagle position. Realizing his predicament, Gadan began to struggle desperately, trying to activate his totem power, only to find to his surprise that the power had long since vanished.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, the wooden door was pushed open and a figure walked in.

Xia Minghao first checked the measures binding Gadan to ensure that Gadan could not break free without the power of the totem, before he sat down in front of Gadan on a chair with four legs of different heights.

What is Zhua Gen Bao?

Recalling the syllables that Gadan had uttered, Xia Minghao asked.

However, Gadan, who was bound, did not respond and continued to try to break free, but to no avail.

Finally, Gadan looked at Xia Minghao with bloodshot eyes, opened his mouth, but did not answer. Instead, he spoke in a hoarse voice.

“You will die. The Wolf King will come with countless wolf tribesmen. The shaman will crush your eggs and make you watch her eat them with your eyes open.”

Upon hearing this unexpected answer, Xia Minghao's eyes widened instantly.

It turns out this wasn't all the wolf tribe members; there was also a wolf king, and apparently, there were even more people!
The relief that came after defeating the ferocious and bloodthirsty wolf tribe was instantly replaced by anxiety.

Just as he was about to ask a question, Xia Minghao changed his mind and immediately adopted a contemptuous posture.

“If your wolf king comes, your entire wolf tribe will die, just like you.”

"No!"

These words clearly enraged Gadan, who roared and even made the earthen house tremble a few times.

"The wolf king will lead his men to kill you, you bunch of two-legged sheep."

Seeing that Gadan was completely enraged, Xia Minghao continued his mockery without stopping.

The contempt made Gadan feel that the dignity of his wolf tribe had been insulted. The fact of defeat and the provocation of his words made him completely lose his mind.

Xia Minghao seized the opportunity to ask the question he wanted to know, and got the answer he was looking for.

The real wolf tribe was much larger than the current population of everyone in Salt Spring Mountain.

If Ganden didn't exaggerate his strength, then there were probably around a thousand people.

Xia Minghao grew increasingly alarmed as he listened. If the wolf king really came, with the current strength of the Xia tribe, even if they unlocked the iron-smelting technique and relied on the treacherous Yanquan Mountain, they probably wouldn't be able to defend it at all.

After a moment's thought, Xia Minghao asked again.

But at this moment, Gadan calmed down and finally saw through Xia Minghao's purpose, and kept silent.

We must understand the wolf tribe's situation as thoroughly as possible in order to know ourselves and our enemy.

Xia Minghao glanced coldly at Gadan, a sneer in his heart.

Do you really think that just because you have a mouth, you can say whatever you want and not say whatever you want?
All that's missing are some tools...

Xia Minghao's favorite show back then was "Torture of Japanese Female Spies." Although Gadan was a man, the torture methods didn't discriminate based on gender.

As he got up to leave, Xia Minghao suddenly noticed that Gadan had a string of things in his hand.

When someone took them down and handed them to me, I saw that these small stones were like walnut kernels, and each one had a yellowish sheen...

Could this be a totem stone? What an unexpected find!
This is likely the spoils of Gadan's massacre of the Wind Tribe, taken from the Wind Tribe members.

Xia Minghao thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and tried to touch one of the beads.

In an instant, I felt a cool sensation in my mind, as if a sixth sense had appeared in addition to my five senses.

Moreover, it's a directional feeling, as if a connection has been established with some distant place.

Then that connection was projected back, becoming clearer from a vague feeling.

It's a special sensation, a sensation of gases in the air!

This is the power of the wind totem!

However, after several attempts and trying various methods, Xia Minghao was unable to control any airflow at all.

Feeling he couldn't hold it in any longer, Xia Minghao let out a helpless sigh. Just as he was considering whether to waste another bead, he was surprised to find that the wind totem stone not only didn't turn into dust like the wolf totem stone, but also that this special feeling persisted as long as he touched it.

It's different from the wolf totem stone!
Upon realizing the difference, Xia Minghao put the string of beads on his wrist.

The beads were strung together with some kind of elastic material that was extremely flexible, causing all the beads to come into contact at the same time.

That sixth sense became increasingly obvious, even allowing Xia Minghao to clearly sense the approximate location of something that had some connection with him.

It's in the direction of the waterfall, but it's very far away, much farther than the waterfall itself.

This enhancement finally gave Xia Minghao the ability to control airflow.

A gust of wind swept over me, with a force not much different from the wind that leaves can create.

As he tried, Xia Minghao's feelings became clearer and clearer.

It's as if you're sending a signal to something through a totem stone, and after receiving that signal, that thing will help you control the airflow...

Is this the principle behind wind totem stones?

What about the wolf totem stone?

What is the source of this power? And what is its nature?
From Ye Zi, Xia Minghao learned that the Wind Tribe had a custom of prayer. Could it be a belief?

But I don't believe in any random gods at all.

Countless questions arose one after another, but Xia Minghao was completely baffled and had no way of finding out the truth behind it all.

"Chief, we're back, and...and the Leaf Clan is with us."

Lipa came over at this moment. Xia Minghao looked at Lipa and then at the totem stone in his hand.

"Never mind, I'll study it slowly later."

Since the wind totem stone wouldn't be damaged, Xia Minghao simply put the bracelet on his wrist and then left the earthen house without looking back.

Ganden's eyes were filled with disbelief as he recalled everything he had just witnessed.

"The power of the dragonborn... So this is what the shaman meant by the power of the dragonborn..."

……

……

……

"I am one of your people, can you hear me?"

After dispersing the crowd, Xia Minghao saw more than twenty naked women and an anxious Ye Zi.

No matter what Ye Zi said, the women remained silent, some with their eyes closed, others staring blankly at the ground.

Xia Minghao squatted down and touched a woman's forehead, instantly feeling its intense heat.

They'll probably all get high fevers...

They are all highly productive talents like Ye Zi, so using a few paracetamol tablets wouldn't be a problem.

He went back to his room, took out the first-aid kit from the tent, and took out two paracetamol tablets.

Because of his previous experience treating the wise man, Xia Minghao did not use too much medicine.

The pills were crushed, put into warm water, and Ye Zi fed them to the group.

Xia Minghao then found the people in charge of bronzes and began to have them make models.

In addition to several instruments of torture, Xia Minghao also drew a nail.

"For this last one, make one hundred. You know how much one hundred is, right?"

"One hundred? Yes, Chief."

Seeing the other party's slight surprise, Xia Minghao nodded and did not linger, waiting for the other party to make the mold first.

One hundred nails, of course, weren't for use as instruments of torture, but for building ships!
They're building big ships!

With Xia Minghao's unprofessional knowledge of mortise and tenon joints, it was completely impossible for him to build a ship big enough.

Therefore, nails must be used.

The purpose of building large ships was, of course, for migration, to set sail towards the floodplains!

Although he didn't have a concrete understanding of how powerful the wolf tribe was, Xia Minghao realized, based on the few words Gadan had given him, that the migration plan had to be brought forward.

Only by reaching the flood plains could the Xia tribe continue to expand and the development of civilization be accelerated. This was the only way out in the face of the threat from the wolf tribe!
Migration is inevitable!
