I am a Primitive Man

Two people from the Green Sparrow Tribe, who had been pulled to the ground by the rope, quickly got up after falling. One of them rushed toward the Semi-Farming tribe member who had been thrown down and battered badly, while the other grabbed the rope tied to the beast's head, pulling hard to prevent it from breaking free. The rest of the Green Sparrow Tribe members also rushed over rapidly…

This skirmish between the Green Sparrow Tribe and the Semi-Farming tribe did not last long before it ended.

With the Green Sparrow Tribe's advantage in numbers, weapons, and morale, the six Semi-Farming tribe members were utterly wiped out.

Among them, two who arrows and spears had struck were already dead. The other four were tied up hand and foot, piled together.

These beasts, bigger than deer and rideable, were captured—five of them. One had escaped, and Shang led a group of five or six people in pursuit.

For the Green Sparrow Tribe members who deeply understood the usefulness of draft animals, letting such a large beast escape was a serious offense.

Several women and children carried over the badly beaten man from the Sheep Tribe from the Sheep Tribe.

Some from the Sheep Tribe wept upon seeing him, while others, furious, clawed and beat the remaining four Semi-Farming tribe captives relentlessly.

They all believed these guys deserved to be beaten.

If it weren't for the prior instructions from the Divine Child and the presence of slaves in the tribe to handle such matters, the eldest senior brother and others might have taken matters into their own hands and killed these captives themselves.

"#￥5!"

One Sheep Tribe member roared while furiously beating the captives.

He was asking about the whereabouts of their leader.

However, due to the language barrier, his questioning was largely ineffective.

Those previously arrogant captives now showed fear under the blows from Sheep Tribe women and children, their earlier swagger completely gone.

The eldest senior brother and others were not paying attention to the Semi-Farming captives at this moment. Instead, their focus was on the beasts, their faces filled with excitement.

These beasts had been tamed and were not particularly afraid of humans. After the battle ended and the area quieted down, the beasts quickly calmed.

Now, they lowered their heads, nibbling on the grass with large flat teeth.

These beasts, larger than deer, were an unexpected gain, far more critical in the minds of the eldest senior brother and others than the four captured Semi-Farming tribe members.

"All right, stop beating them. Quickly pack up and follow us out.

This tribe is quite strong. We killed some of their people here; they will surely come back for revenge. You won't be able to stop them here.

Only by relying on a strong wall can we better deal with them.

With a wise Divine Child around, we can get the whereabouts of your leader from them…"

Mao, the merchant and foreign language expert, had also come along. His primary task was to communicate with the members of the Sheep Tribe.

Now, at the eldest senior brother's signal, he was conveying these messages to the Sheep Tribe.

If they had not encountered those six Semi-Farming tribe members earlier, the Sheep Tribe might have hesitated after hearing Mao's words. But now, after this incident, all hesitation vanished.

The previously dissatisfied elder primitive man had now become a staunch supporter of joining the Green Sparrow Tribe.

Without needing much urging from the eldest senior brother, the elder man began mobilizing the tribe with great enthusiasm.

Initially, when they set out, Han Cheng had instructed the eldest senior brother on some tougher methods to use if the Sheep Tribe refused to join. However, all those plans were now unnecessary.

As the Sheep Tribe began packing up, Shang and several others returned, leading the runaway beast.

Tamed beasts are hard to control when frightened, but once the panic subsides, they become easier to handle.

For example, this beast had run wildly for a while before stopping on its own. It lowered its head to graze, and Shang quietly approached, leading it back by the rope.

Watching the eldest senior brother and others happily feeding the beasts grass and stroking their fur, the four battered Semi-Farming tribe captives, bruised and aching all over, looked on with suspicion.

They didn't understand why these people were not afraid of this type of beast, which they were seeing for the first time.

Not only were they not afraid, but they seemed very familiar with it.

Had they known this would be the case, they would have run regardless.

Some of them wanted to inform their wise female shaman and strong leader of the situation, but unfortunately, they no longer had the chance…

Smoke rose from the Sheep Tribe cave area, a funeral for the Sheep Tribe person, who was clutching a Semi-Farming tribe member's leg.

Also buried were the Sheep Tribe's former days.

The Sheep Tribe members, herding their sheep and supporting the old and young, followed the eldest senior brother and others toward the Green Sparrow Tribe.

They often glanced back, looking at the place they had lived for so long, at the familiar plants, at the rising smoke…

Everything here would gradually fade, like the smoke, dissolving into the air.

In this brief skirmish, the Green Sparrow Tribe was undoubtedly the biggest winner.

They captured four members of the Semi-Farming tribe and gained six beasts.

The half-ruined Sheep Tribe also moved toward the Green Sparrow Tribe after the battle.

Unlike the previously impoverished tribes who had joined, these sheep herders were quite wealthy.

With these sheep, the Green Sparrow Tribe would not suffer food shortages by absorbing them.

On the outer walls of the Green Sparrow Tribe, Han Cheng looked eastward into the distance, worried for the eldest senior brother and others who had gone out.

Though he knew the odds of danger were low, his heart could not help but be anxious.

During this wait, a large group appeared far off to the east, with a tall flag raised among them, and surrounded by a white mass of sheep.

Han Cheng smiled…

"What the? Are those donkeys?!"

Standing at the courtyard gate, Han Cheng stared wide-eyed at the six beasts, which were much larger than deer.
