After being summoned, Cang Shi stepped towards the Main Teepee and asked, “Shaman, may I come in?”

“Come in,” Su Bai tidied up the Animal Hide on the table.

Cang Shi lifted the door flap, walked in with his head slightly lowered, and asked, “Shaman, do you have any arrangements for me?”

“There’s something I want the Hunting Team to do,” Su Bai nodded.

“Shaman, please instruct,” Cang Shi immediately said.

Su Bai picked up the Animal Hide he had just drawn on and instructed, “When you go out hunting, help me look for this.”

Cang Shi received the Animal Hide with both hands, looked at the drawing on it, and asked, puzzledly, “Shaman, what is this?”

“It’s a plant called Dog Tail Grass, also known as Wolf Tail Grass. It should be easy to recognize. Have you seen it during your previous hunts?” Su Bai asked.

The reason it was also called Wolf Tail Grass was because a Dog’s tail droops, while a Wolf’s tail stands upright.

Wolf Tail Grass stands upright when green, only drooping when it turns yellow.

Cang Shi narrowed his eyes into slits, carefully looking at the drawing on the Animal Hide, and shook his head, “I don’t have any impression of it. This is the first time I’ve heard of this name.”

“You should have seen it before at least once. It grows over a wide range. Think carefully.” Su Bai reminded. Though he said that, he was not really sure if Wolf Tail Grass existed in this primitive era.

Still, this plant has advantages such as drought resistance, salt tolerance, wet tolerance, and hardly get affected by disease. It does not have strict requirements in terms of soil conditions and grows rapidly.

Moreover, the primitive era environment was not bad for this plant’s growth. It was unlikely that this plant did not exist.

Because they had even found plants similar to Ramie before, Wolf Tail Grass, which was resilient and quick to grow, should exist as well.

Cang Shi’s purple eyes kept moving, trying to recall the plants he had encountered in the forest during his previous hunts. He frowned and mumbled, “I only saw some berries and some vines… The Shaman said I’ve seen it before. It does look familiar…”

“Familiar is good. Ask the Hunting Team to pay attention to such plants. Bring back anything similar for me to see,” Su Bai instructed.

“Yes, Shaman, we will pay attention.” Cang Shi immediately agreed, then curiously asked, “Shaman, may I ask, what are we going to do with this plant once we find it?”

“You’ll know when you bring it back. This plant has many uses. If we can find it, it will be of great help to the Tribe’s development,” Su Bai stated.

He did not want to explain too clearly. Otherwise, with Team Leader Cang Shi’s personality, he would just focus on finding the plant and forget about his main job, just like last time.

“Yes, Shaman, rest assured. We will definitely find this plant for you.” Cang Shi immediately became serious when he heard it was for the Tribe’s development.

“This time, we can’t have what happened last time to happen again. Hunting is the priority. Finding Wolf Tail Grass is secondary. You’re not allowed to only focus on finding plants. Still focus on hunting.” Su Bai sternly instructed.

Cang Shi scratched his head awkwardly and nodded, “What happened last time will definitely not happen again.”

“Good. By the way, how are those new Totem Warriors doing?” Su Bai remembered the Wanderers.

“They are all quite skilled. There are three people with exceptional reflexes,” Cang Shi said excitedly, continuing, “The others are all Strength Type Totem Warriors. When it comes to transporting prey, these people should be able to provide a lot of assistance.”

When Ye Jiu, Shou Ya, and others joined the Hunting Team, he was initially wary.

Unexpectedly, they were open and aboveboard, gave their all during training. They really held no bad intentions towards the Tribe.

All these things inevitably made Cang Shi put aside his prejudices and start trying to integrate them into the Tribe.

“Oh? So it seems like you’re getting along quite well with them?” Su Bai was pleased to see this development.

“Yes. There haven’t been any problems so far, they all obey my orders.” Cang Shi said, satisfied with their behaviour and attitude.

Su Bai took a sip of water and continued to ask, “How about their young adults? Are there any with good aptitude?”

“There are quite a few. With more training, it’s only a matter of time before they become Totem Warriors.” Cang Shi smiled.

“Very good, set a goal for them. People need goals to be motivated,” Su Bai tapped his fingers lightly on the table and continued, “Let them first work towards becoming Warrior Trainees.”

“Yes, Shaman, I will have them train with Qing Mu, Chi Tu, and the other Warrior Trainees,” Cang Shi said seriously.

Su Bai blinked his black eyes and asked, “By the way, who has the best aptitude among their Totem Warriors?”

“It’s a girl called Ye Jiu. Her skills are really good. She seems to be a Peak Early-Stage Totem Warrior,” Cang Shi said without hesitation.

“Ye Jiu?” Su Bai remembered the cool and but concerned girl with wolf ears, and instructed, “When you come back from hunting tomorrow, ask her to come see me. I have something to arrange for her.”

Cang Shi looked surprised and shook his head repeatedly, “Shaman, that is too dangerous. We can’t let her get close to you.”

Although she performed excellently during the hunts, when it came to the Shaman’s safety, this matter could not be taken lightly.

“Don’t worry, if she wanted to harm me, she would have done it on the way back from the Spotted Deer Market. Why would she take the risk when there are so many people in the Tribe?” Su Bai sat up straight and continued, “Right now, her people are all relying on us for support. She won’t be that foolish.”

Su Bai shook his head and thought, [They just want to be part of a Tribe and want to be led by a Shaman. Their needs are the simplest. They just want to survive. Have enough to eat and drink. Now that these problems have been solved, it is even less likely for her to have any other thoughts…]

Cang Shi thought carefully for a moment and responded in a serious tone, “Yes, Shaman. But when she comes, please let me stay by your side.”

“No problem.” Su Bai said with a smile. [Well, it is only with this that Cang Shi can feel at ease.]

“Yes, Shaman. Please wait, I’ll bring her to you when she returns tomorrow.” Cang Shi immediately agreed and turned to leave the Teepee.

Yan Hua looked at the still swaying door flap and said, “Shaman, I don’t think she’s a bad person.”

“I don’t think so either,” Su Bai smiled gently.
