Jiujiu secretly released Little White and asked him to set up a barrier to prevent the Tiger-Lion Tribe's people from finding this place. After that, she sat at the entrance of the cave and stared into the distance in a daze.
Jiujiu had always thought that as long as she worked hard, she would definitely be able to lead this tribe to become the happiest tribe. But now, her heart was somewhat cold.
She had been working hard to help them get rid of hunger. She had helped them find a better place to live. She had helped them find new food. She had helped them escape from a massacre that had almost wiped out their entire tribe. But now, she had only killed a traitor for them. They were angry at each other.
Although they didn't speak, Jiujiu knew that part of the reason was because she was a priest and had the ability to predict the future. But more than that, it was because of Sha Qing.
Sha Qing was the strongest beastman in the tribe. Now that Sha Qing was on her side, she had been helping her. They were afraid of Sha Qing's strength, so they didn't dare to do anything to her. However, Jiu Jiu knew that many a little makes a mickle. Now that they were dissatisfied with her, as time passed, their dissatisfaction would become more and more like water droplets. In the end, it would become an ocean.
Moreover, it was true that the people in the tribe loved peace, but they loved peace too much. Because of their love for peace, they couldn't even tell right from wrong. They didn't even know what was good, what was bad, what was decisive, and what was called cowardice.
Their lives had improved, but their thinking was still so low. Jiujiu could change their lives and their physiques, but she couldn't change their thinking.
And what the tribe needed to improve was their thinking. Once their thinking fell behind, they would be beaten. This was a principle that had never changed.
Jiujiu relaxed her body and slowly leaned against the stone wall. Looking at the billowing smoke in the direction of the tribe, Jiujiu lowered her eyes.
The rainy season was coming. If the people of the Tiger-Lion Tribe couldn't find the cave, they would definitely leave soon. But the tribe wouldn't be able to live there.
Moreover, even with Jiujiu's barrier, the people of the Tiger-Lion Tribe had already found the cave to hide from the rainy season. Sooner or later, they would find this place. There were only two ways left for this tribe.
They could either merge with other tribes, or find a new place to build a new tribe.
"Not happy?" Sha Qing saw the disappointment on Jiujiu's face and softly comforted her, "Hu Sheng grew up in this tribe, so it's normal for them to be reluctant. But I killed him, so even if they are unhappy, they can't blame you."
This was an indirect explanation for why so many people pleaded for mercy when Jiujiu ordered Hu Sheng to be killed. It was also a direct way to take all the responsibility.
Jiujiu raised her head and looked into the distance. She pursed her lips and said softly, "But they still pleaded for him when he wanted to kill the entire tribe."
Sha Qing sat down beside Jiujiu and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Jiujiu said faintly, "Our tribe's place has already been discovered by the Tiger-Lion Tribe. When the rainy season is over, we can either go find a new tribe or build a new one."
Jiujiu, on the other hand, was more inclined to build a new tribe.
Seeking refuge with a new tribe seemed to be a wiser choice, but no matter what you did, you would only be seeking refuge. In the eyes of the other side, your arrival would not benefit them in any way. Instead, you would only steal the resources that originally belonged to them. Therefore, to them, you were not compatriots, but invaders. No matter how much you contributed to the other side, it would be useless, because in the bottom of their hearts, they did not treat you as one of their own.
Take herself for example. Even though she had been brought back from a young age, she had clearly stayed in this tribe for so long and made so many contributions to the tribe. The beastmen seemed to have accepted her existence, but because she had let Sha Qing kill Hu Sheng, the people of the tribe glared at her angrily. An outsider would always be an outsider. Even if she had stayed here for a long time, she was still an outsider who had stayed here for a long time.
Jiujiu had sacrificed so much for this tribe and planned so much for the tribe's future, but in the end, this was the end. It would be a lie to say that she was not sad, but the most important thing right now was to get through this difficult time.
Although the people of the tribe had moved to the cave before the Tiger-Lion Tribe arrived, Hu Sheng had left marks along the way. Soon, the people of the Tiger-Lion Tribe found the cave halfway up the mountain.
However, because of Jiujiu's maze and Little White's boundary, the ground in front of the cave was filled with smoke and was as steep as a cliff.
The chief of the Tiger-Lion Tribe looked at the place where the mark had disappeared, and a ruthless and impatient expression appeared on his rough face. He turned to the beastman standing beside him and said, "Are you sure this is where Hu Sheng left the mark?"
"I'm sure."
The beastman who replied had a puzzled expression on his face, "But why did it end up here?"
The appearance of the smoke was clearly a cliff. The people of this tribe were not strong enough. If they wanted to find a cave, they would only find one on a relatively flat path halfway up the mountain. They definitely did not have the ability to dig a cave on a cliff. After all, even the Tiger-Lion Tribe, which was famous for their strength, did not have this ability.
Seeing the puzzled expression on the beastman's face, the corners of the mouth of the chief of the Tiger-Lion Tribe hooked up, revealing a cold smile. He raised his hand and pointed at a beastman, beckoning with his finger, "Come here."
"Chief?" The beastman who was called out happily walked in front of the chief. However, before he could finish speaking, the chief suddenly kicked him off the cliff.
That beastman subconsciously howled, but then he found himself on the ground. He hurriedly stretched out his hand from the fog and happily shouted, "Chief, this is not a cliff."
The chief's deep eyes became even more profound as he motioned for the beastmen in the tribe to walk inside.
Feeling that the barrier had been touched, Jiujiu's body swayed and she hurriedly got up from the ground. She motioned for Whitey to take a look at the entrance of the barrier.
Whitey quickly transformed into a giant beast and rushed toward the entrance of the barrier. As for the people of the Tiger-Lion Tribe, they had almost reached the entrance of the cave.
Whitey suddenly appeared and stomped a beastman of the Tiger-Lion Tribe to death. Then, he faced the sky and let out a long howl. His long and curved fangs flashed with a dense white light.
Whitey's true body was already as big as a small mountain. The scene of him stomping a beastman into a meat paste was particularly shocking. The chief of the Tiger-Lion Tribe, who was originally very confident, panicked the moment he saw Whitey. He hurriedly motioned for the people of the Tiger-Lion Tribe to run.
Seeing that the people of the Tiger-Lion Tribe had run away, Whitey shrunk. In order to fool people, he deliberately changed into the appearance of the little fox that Jiujiu raised. As for the little fox, it had already been sent to the space by Whitey to play with Steamed Bun.
