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

Chapter 77 Dali's Longing for Fluffy Items
Xia Minghao's eyes immediately fell on Dali's chest.

The small beaver pelt was clearly not enough; it could only cover the core area, leaving a large, white patch exposed.

Oh... this is so tight, it might affect development.

Then Xia Minghao looked at the girl's face.

Several lines were drawn on the sides of his face, seemingly with the juice of some fruit, presumably to intimidate and frighten the enemy.

Of course, with that face, the intimidating effect is hard to say, and it might even be a little cute.

Furthermore, Xia Minghao also noticed something: the color of the skin.

It was quite white, almost indistinguishable from the leaves...

Leaf belongs to a totem tribe, which has higher productivity than other tribes, making it easier for them to obtain food.

There was no need for them to toil like ordinary primitive people, enduring the scorching sun to preserve their skin color.

The Wind Tribe even developed music, something that would have been considered a luxury in primitive times.

But the Da tribe is a completely primitive tribe...

"Daly, come here."

Damon, who was standing in front of him, also saw his daughter, who was still thinking of walking towards the wolves, and immediately scolded her.

Hearing her father's roar, Dali shrank back and obediently walked over.

But she couldn't help turning back to look at the little wolf cub.

She never participated in any hunting or even any labor.

It's impossible to have a fear of wolves naturally; it's just an innate fondness for furry things.

As Damon's only daughter, Daly enjoyed the "pampered life" of primitive times under limited conditions.

When she was little, she wanted to keep furry creatures because they felt so comfortable to touch.

I once caught a beaver, but when I tried to keep it as a pet, it bit me hard.

Her father, Damon, forbade her from ever doing anything like that again.

Then she now wraps the beaver around her chest.

Now, seeing the fluffy wolf cubs, Dali is even more delighted.

Even after reaching Damon, Daly was still persistent and boldly spoke up.

"Father, I want that."

Damon frowned, wanting to take Daly away.

Hearing this, Xia Minghao finally found the answer to his doubts.

It turns out that because of this relationship, and because the Da tribe already had sufficient consumer resources and social structure, this girl was able to enjoy "privileged pampering".

Instead of having their doubts answered, people became curious about the Da tribe.

I'll just have to wait until the day after tomorrow to go to the Da tribe and see for myself what level of development the Da tribe has reached.

It was just a minor incident, and Dali disappeared back into the crowd.

But those eyes still kept glancing at the wolf den, unable to resist looking.

Xia Minghao also discovered Dali's obsession and found it quite interesting.

He secretly wondered if, in a decade or two, this girl's obsession might lead the Da tribe to develop the concept of animal husbandry, thus bringing this primitive tribe a step closer to civilization.

Unfortunately, even if that were true, now that I've arrived, I no longer have the chance to let these primitive people slowly develop.

We must keep running forward with ourselves and move towards civilization!
All matters were discussed and resolved, the crisis caused by the salt spring was successfully resolved, and contact was established with the Da tribe.

The people of the Da tribe quickly arrived at the riverbank from the newly opened cave and left the Xia tribe.

Only Daka and his men stayed behind, gathering together, looking very uncomfortable.

Xia Minghao followed him out of the cave and noticed that the cave walls, like those of another cave, were quite smooth.

Just then, a gust of wind blew through the mountains, and Xia Minghao looked behind him.

Then it suddenly dawned on me that this cave and another cave were perfectly aligned!
This is too much of a coincidence.

Xia Minghao couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

It looks like a real tunnel; the wonders of nature are truly astounding.

The Da tribe disappeared into the dense forest. Xia Minghao followed the river but could not find any trace of them. He took out his binoculars and finally saw an old tree trunk on the river.

As expected, the most primitive way to cross the river was by bridge. However, once shipping was developed, this bridge became an obstacle.

It's fine in the early stages, but once we've made sufficient preparations to meet the totem tribe, we'll definitely have to travel along the river to the floodplains and begin a true agricultural era.

Moreover, river transport to Yanquan must absolutely not be stopped, as the salt from Yanquan is of paramount importance in addition to forestry resources.

Bridges must also be designed to allow boats to pass, such as arch bridges.

It is undoubtedly a huge project, but there is no rush.

What Xia Minghao wants to do now is to quickly climb to the top of the mountain and figure out the map of the surrounding area.

Looking out from a high vantage point, you might not see people, but you can see the smoke rising from fires. This is the best landmark, making it very easy to find the location of other tribes.

This allowed them to quickly establish connections with other small tribes.

Perhaps we can discover a wealth of important resources from those small tribes, whether it be plants that ushered in the agricultural era or malachite that ushered in the Bronze Age.

Once back inside the mountain, Xia Minghao began to observe the situation inside, trying to figure out the most convenient way to build the path leading to the summit.

Hima then began to arrange for the stunned Daka and the others to go and knock down the tree.

The women of the Wu clan also returned carrying pottery vessels filled with water.

Seeing the opened cave and the river outside, his eyes were filled with surprise.

It was only after hearing everyone's explanations that I understood.

Upon hearing that their chief was able to move an entire boulder, she was utterly astonished, her mouth agape in disbelief.

……

……

……

"Daly, you want a wolf? I can go and catch one for you."

Walking in the group, Wolfskin spoke to Dali, but he was clearly a little guilty.

Dali merely glanced at the wolf pelt without replying.

Seeing Dallie's reaction, Wolfskin didn't dare to say anything more, but instead began to look around, as if he really wanted to find a wolf cub.

"Wise one, blackfish, can you really help us move this boulder?"

Walking through the dense forest along the riverbank, someone couldn't help but ask.

The wise man valued the pottery more, Damon valued the red, non-bitter salt more, and most of the others were more concerned with the blackfish.

It's not just because it's meat, but also because of the miraculous effects claimed by the Xia tribe chief.

Damon also looked over, still skeptical.

Then he saw the wise man nod and then shake his head.

"Fish, indeed. But what they give is not strength, but wisdom."

"The chief of the Xia tribe pushed aside the boulder with wisdom, not strength."

wisdom!

The Da tribe has become what it is today because of the wisdom of its wise men!

Hearing this, everyone's eyes gleamed with even greater longing for the blackfish.

The person holding the stone tool specifically for stabbing fish even had an urge to stab a few blackfish right now.

But now it's getting dark, and before, the blackfish could only be barely seen when the sun was high in the sky.

And then he thought of his companion who had fallen into the river, and swallowed hard.

The "five for one" price, which had previously surprised them, suddenly seemed much more reasonable to everyone.

It even gives you a feeling of getting a good deal, like throwing a taro into water and immediately growing a blackfish that can make you wise.

"Father, why is it that blackfish grants wisdom, and how much should one eat?"

But this time, the wise man did not respond.

The idea that eating fish can bring wisdom is something the wise man heard when he was a child, before he migrated, while staying near the totem tribe. It originated from the totem tribe.

And that is why the wise man now recalls that scene, which seems etched in his mind and cannot be forgotten, and thus remains silent...
