I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Chapter 175: Even Wild Birds Dislike It

*Whoosh, whoosh…* Shu Feng led Cheng Shi and Ai’er. They flew through the sky, and had set out from the Tribe early this morning.

“Brother Shu Feng, where are we going to search today?” Ai’er asked, blinking her purple eyes.

Cheng Shi playfully did a mid-air spin and suggested, “Why don’t we try somewhere further away? We might find something there.”

“Yes, we’ve been searching this area for two days. Let’s try somewhere else,” Shu Feng agreed with the proposal.

If there was anything to be found nearby, they would have discovered it by now. The three of them had searched for a full two days without any new findings.

“Great! Let’s go somewhere further!” Cheng Shi was the most excited. He still had a strong desire for adventure. He wanted to try everything. Thus, all sorts of new and interesting things could catch his attention. As Su Bai would say, ‘he is our little adventurer’.

“Going further also means increased danger. No matter what, you both need to be careful.” Shu Feng cautioned.

“Understood.” Cheng Shi and Ai’er responded in unison.

Shu Feng blinked his brown eyes, flapping his large brown wings, with his face full of concern. He thought for a moment and still felt uneasy, so he continued to warn them. “Remember not to land on the ground. When flying at low altitudes, always observe left, right, front, and back. If there is any danger, immediately run away. Don’t take any risk.”

Ai’er flapped her purple butterfly wings and mischievously said. “That’s right, we can take care of ourselves.”

“Good that you know. Don’t be careless.” Shu Feng, though appearing gentle, relaxed and refined, was always vigilant. In his eyes, the Warrior Trainees in the Tribe were all children. That was why he could not help but worry for those who had not awakened their Totem Mark when out in the Wilderness.

Although Warrior Trainees had stronger Physique than ordinary people, they were still powerless against Ferocious Beasts.

*Whoosh, whoosh…* The three flew towards a more distant forest. Their brown, purple, and black wings, under the sunlight, seemed to be coated with a layer of golden flakes.

Four hours later, they flew to a more distant place. The forest here was more lush and verdant, and the trees overall seemed much taller.

Cheng Shi also noticed this change. He looked back at the forest behind them, then turned to look at the forest ahead. He opened his mouth in amazement and exclaimed, “Brother Shu Feng, the trees here are all so much taller!”

“The more lush the forest, the more dangerous it is. We cannot be careless here.” Shu Feng feared the two might cause trouble.

Cheng Shi blinked his sharp black eyes, looking at the vast forest, and remarked. “Such a large forest must be very difficult to search through.”

“Difficult or not, we have to search. Especially for you Cheng Shi, don’t cause trouble for the Tribe,” Ai’er, though playful, was cautious when she needed to be.

“I won’t cause trouble,” Cheng Shi said, flapping his wings and doing a turn. He happily said, “Brother Shu Feng, I’ll go look over there and come back to find you later.”

“Don’t go too far. We’ll meet here at lunchtime.” Shu Feng really could not do anything about him.

“Got it.” Cheng Shi flew away without looking back.

Ai’er sighed and said helplessly, “In that case, Brother Shu Feng, I’ll go search on the other side.”

“Alright, remember to meet here at lunchtime, and make sure you are careful.” Shu Feng said softly.

Ai’er nodded heavily and flew towards the right, flapping her butterfly wings.

Shu Feng also flapped his wings and flew towards the front, his brown eyes constantly fixed on the ground. He began to lower his flight speed and altitude, slowly descending to a distance close to the forest canopy.

Soon, he lowered his flight altitude again, starting to enter the forest. His brown wings looked particularly beautiful against the backdrop of green leaves and sunlight.

Shu Feng began to fold his huge brown wings to avoid the messy branches. Although there were many branches in the forest, making it a bit tiring to dodge, his brown eyes did not miss anything on the ground.

“This place gives an uncomfortable feeling that I can’t shake off…” Shu Feng frowned and muttered to himself.

After flying for more than ten minutes, he stopped on a large tree, vigilantly scanning the surrounding environment.

Shu Feng’s brown eyes fell on a large tree in the distance ahead, noticing many brownish fruits on it.

He suddenly became excited and curiously said, “What’s that? New fruits? How come I’ve never seen them before?”

Shu Feng paused for a moment, then flapped his wings and flew away from the big tree, heading towards the tree in front.

He vigilantly looked around, then landed on a branch of the big tree, staring directly at the brownish fruits.

He looked for a while and muttered, “What is this? It doesn’t smell very good.”

He was about to reach out to pick one, but thought better of it and withdrew his hand. Nevertheless, he continued to stare at the dark brown fruits.

He suddenly remembered the Old Shaman’s warning that whenever they saw something new and strange, they should not curiously touch it. They should observe carefully, or let wild animals eat it first. Only after ensuring there were no problems should they reach out to touch it.

“How… how is it dripping water?” Shu Feng was surprised by the brownish fruits. They were constantly seeping out some yellow water droplets, though it took a long time for one droplet to form and slowly slide down.

Shu Feng smelled the brownish fruits from afar and found that these fruits had a strange odour, a smell he had never encountered before.

He pinched his nose and shook his head, muttering, “Are they even edible? They don’t look very tasty.”

Shu Feng observed for quite a while but did not notice anything unusual. Moreover, the wild birds flying around seemed to disdain this fruit.

Let alone stopping to eat them, the birds completely ignored them, flying past the tree.

“Don’t wild birds love to eat fruits?” Shu Feng, seeing the birds’ disdain, suddenly realised, “It seems like they are not edible.”

Just as he was about to flap his wings and leave to continue searching, he had a thought – [Perhaps the Shaman might know about them? Maybe they can be used to make Shaman Bone Tablets or for some other purposes?]

Thinking of this, Shu Feng folded his wings and looked up at the fruits at the treetop, occasionally avoiding the falling yellow droplets.

He reached out to pick many large leaves from the neighbouring big tree, layering them together.

Shu Feng did not dare to directly touch these fruits, always wrapping them in leaves when picking them.
