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

Chapter 155 The Unexpected Great Lake Tribe

"Huh? I haven't even made a move yet, how come they're already like this?"

The enormous werewolf body easily blocked all the stone spears.

Actually, not many shots hit the body. Even though the high-angle shot was powerful, it was still difficult to hit accurately.

Originally, I was thinking of launching an attack to see if I could suppress this group of people with a wave of violence.

After all, in the primitive era, Xia Minghao discovered that sometimes barbaric methods are the best way to solve problems.

But I didn't expect it to be so effective. Without killing even one or two people, these people actually backed down?

He watched as the crowd laid down their weapons on the treehouse and began to worship him, even the children who had been hiding inside came out.

Xia Minghao then gathered everyone together.

I asked around and found out that it wasn't anything else, but her own skin.

This group of people has an ingrained fear of yellow skin.

That fear had been buried for a long time, which is why they finally had the courage to launch the first attack on themselves.

But when he revealed his terrifying werewolf form, which they could not comprehend, that long-buried fear resurfaced.

That is why he was able to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Although he gained an advantage, Xia Minghao also considered his Xia tribe.

Except for the Da clan, all the Xia tribes share a fear of the Fire tribe.

This fear was also ingrained in their very bones. If they got close to the Fire Tribe, the people of their own Xia Tribe might feel the same way, which would be a real problem.

At this moment, all the men, women and children came down, and the number was quite large, about two hundred people if you don't include the minors.

Moreover, Xia Minghao also discovered that the way they gathered together was something he had never seen anywhere else; it wasn't just families, but clans.

The larger families have more than twenty members, while the smaller ones have at least ten.

Being able to find such a huge gathering place near the lake in one go, coupled with the fact that these people were born with a fear of him, Xia Minghao felt extremely comfortable.

I originally thought that it would be good enough if these two sisters could lead me to find a dozen or twenty survivors.

It now seems we've reached a major gathering point for survivors.

"Who is your leader? Or rather, the shaman?"

After mentioning the chief, Xia Minghao thought of what Adi had said before, that there seemed to be a shaman in this kind of tribe.

After a long while, an old man stood up. His face was covered with wrinkles, and it was impossible to tell how old he was.

"I...I am a witch. Please forgive us, please."

“I will not harm you. I am here to help you so that you can drive away those hairy people.”

"See, I haven't hurt any of you, have I?"

The fact that Wu immediately begged for mercy was certainly not what Xia Minghao wanted to see.

Xia Minghao needs these people to be of use to him, not just to succumb to the so-called fear of people with yellow skin.

"You didn't hurt anyone..."

Upon hearing this, Wu suddenly raised his head, but after seeing the expression on Xia Minghao's face, he quickly lowered his head again.

The others kneeling also began to look at each other in bewilderment.

Yes, this yellow-skinned person didn't hurt himself!
However, when it transformed into that terrifying form, it could easily tear off any person's limbs or smash anyone's head, just like four or five hairy men.

Thinking of this, everyone became tense again.

Seeing that he still hadn't achieved the desired effect, Xia Minghao simply revealed his identity.

"I am the chief of the Xia tribe. I am here to help you and get rid of the hairy people. Then you can join the Xia tribe and have a good life."

After saying that, Xia Minghao opened the backpack next to him and took out all the fine jerky he was carrying.

This is the greatest sincerity of the primitive era: dried meat with added red salt.

"Adi, Anan, distribute them to me."

"Yes, Father."

After receiving a large pile of dried meat, Adi and Anan clearly showed a hint of longing on their faces, but instead of stealing any for themselves, they obediently prepared to share it with the people who had abandoned the two sisters.

Meanwhile, upon hearing the two sisters address Xia Minghao, several figures began to tremble slightly.

They looked up in fear at Xia Minghao, who was standing in front of them, and swallowed hard.

“Anan.”

When the food was distributed to one of the people, Adi suddenly looked at her younger sister and gave her a wink.

Then the two of them looked at the men, the ones who were trembling all over, because they had bullied them and driven them out of the tribe.

Now that the two sisters have the right to divide the meat, they naturally think of using this limited power to "take revenge" on themselves, which is to not give any to these men.

Ah-Nan understood and prepared to ignore these people.

But unexpectedly, I suddenly felt my ankle being grabbed with great force.

"Anan, I shouldn't have driven you away. Don't let your yellow-skinned father kill me." After feeling the strength in her ankle, Anan immediately hugged the dried meat in her arms tightly.

Only after hearing the man's words did she realize that he was begging her.

The same thing happened to Adi, only this time a much larger crowd gathered around her.

Perhaps it was because Ah-di had a strong personality that she sometimes felt she had to retaliate when she was bullied, which led to even more people bullying her.

"I won't let my father kill you."

Having understood the situation, and seeing how humble the people who had bullied her were now, Ah Nan suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. At the same time, she spoke, as if the experience of having something stolen from her after finding it, and the punches she received from these men, were no longer important.

But it was different for Adi. She didn't forgive them at all. Instead, she started kicking away the group of people who wanted to kneel at her feet and beg.

These people bullied me when my mother was alive, causing my sisters and my mother's belongings to be stolen, and I went hungry several times.

He even beat himself up so badly that his mother was worried.

When Adi saw this group of people coming, she could only suppress her desire for revenge, feeling only a sense of satisfaction.

Because I now have a father...

She never had a father, which was the reason she realized from birth: she was bullied in the tribe and couldn't have a good life like others.

But now, she has one. She has a father with yellow skin, and all these people are afraid of her father with yellow skin.

She wanted her father to kill all of these people, to avenge her mother's frequent hunger, and to avenge the bullying she and Anan suffered!
My mother was killed by the Mao people, and it was because of them. Yes, it is absolutely unforgivable.

"Go away!"

Adi kicked harder and harder, but these people, filled with fear, could only pray, even though they were in pain.

Xia Minghao was still observing everyone's reactions after they ate the jerky.

From initial fear to obvious satisfaction after eating the jerky, Xia Minghao knew that the first step was complete.

But I still felt uncertain, because the "power" in this combination of kindness and severity seemed rather inexplicable.

It wasn't something I brought about; rather, I inherently possessed this power.

This always made Xia Minghao feel uneasy...

After all, it came too easily.

It was precisely because of this sense of unease that Xia Minghao began to think of ways to quickly bring all these people back to the Xia tribe for assimilation.

One's own strength is ultimately insignificant; using up all the power of the wolf totem stones would only result in killing everyone here.

The Xia tribe was his true source of power. Behind him stood nearly a thousand Xia tribe members, along with abundant resources and weapons. These were the true assets he could use to exert both kindness and force.

Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly heard a commotion. I turned around and saw that it was the two sisters who seemed to have a problem with dividing the meat.

Is there not enough dried meat?
It shouldn't be.

Xia Minghao touched the totem stone with one hand and walked towards the crowd.

Upon seeing Xia Minghao, the previously chaotic crowd fell silent. They recalled hearing Adi's vicious words about killing them all, and a sense of despair welled up within them.

But he simply didn't have the courage to utter even a single plea to Xia Minghao.

"Dad!"

Upon seeing Xia Minghao approaching, Adi immediately exclaimed in delight.

Having experienced the benefits of recognizing Xia Minghao as her father, Adi's attachment to him has grown even stronger, not only filling the gap in her Oedipus complex.

He then looked at the people begging for his forgiveness, a fierce glint in his eyes, and prepared to speak.

To be honest, Xia Minghao felt awkward when Adi called him that.

He doesn't have this little quirk of having women call him "Dad," and it even feels a bit heavy to him, since a title represents a responsibility.

Just then, the old figure walked over again and spoke once more.

"Chief of the Xia tribe, please don't kill them. Without them, we will no longer be able to kill the Mao people."

"If there are too many hairy people, we will have to leave here and go to the depths of the great lake."

The shaman had been observing the situation for some time, and then immediately came out to pray to Xia Minghao.

"Kill the hairy people?"

Xia Minghao, who was originally about to ask Adi what she wanted to say, was immediately drawn to Wu's words.

Something felt different. It didn't seem like what I'd learned from the herding tribe—that these people were barely surviving under the threat of the hairy people.

On the contrary, it seemed to be evenly matched with the Mao people, or even slightly superior...

Xia Minghao didn't dwell on the earlier commotion. Instead, he let the two sisters continue distributing dried meat while he talked to Wu to find out what was going on.

In the back-and-forth questioning, the shaman spoke clearly and accurately, with remarkably clear logic.

Xia Minghao quickly learned the situation and was somewhat shocked.

Damn it, I was totally fooled by those cowardly herding tribesmen!
