Su Bai watched the two figures disappear behind the door flap and asked in his mind, [System, can I become a Totem Warrior?]
[Ding! Yes, as long as you have enough Qi, you can awaken as a Totem Warrior.] the System responded.
[What counts as enough Qi?] Su Bai asked with a frown.
[Ding! The Host currently has no Qi.]
[Why don’t I have enough Qi?] Su Bai pressed on to ask.
[Ding! Qi requires a Physique three times that of an ordinary person to be refined] the System listed the information.
“…” Su Bai helplessly rolled his eyes, realising he was just a fragile ‘Mage’.
He continued to ask. [What are the requirements for awakening a Totem? How much Qi is needed to awaken as a Totem Warrior?]
[Ding! Ten strands of Qi are enough to awaken] the System replied.
[What are the specific stats of a Totem Warrior?] Su Bai took this chance to learn more about Totem Warriors.
The System’s mechanical voice sounded, [Ding! A Totem Warrior needs at least five times the Physique of an ordinary person, with fifty strands of Qi.]
[To be both a Shaman and a Warrior, there’s no escaping physical training…] Su Bai sighed.
His current Physique was only twice that of an ordinary person. Meanwhile, his Mental Energy was ten times that of an ordinary person. Moreover, Shaman Power was clearly harder to refine than Qi. However, their output power was far more formidable. Shamans were more mysterious than Totem Warriors, and harder to deal with.
[Well, let’s develop the Tribe first, then slowly train my body.] Su Bai shook his head.
He felt a bit overwhelmed just thinking about the series of problems the Tribe was facing now. He did not like the Tribe’s current location. It was too remote. The surrounding resources were too scarce.
“Shaman, here’s some water,” Yu Ying came over with water.
Su Bai took the cup and casually asked. “Xiao Yu, do you know much about the Tribe’s Ancestral Land?”
“I know most of the area,” Yu Ying softly said.
“Is there a water source near the Ancestral Land?” Su Bai wanted to understand the situation of the Flame Dragon Ancestral Land.
If it was worse than imagined, even if he defeated the Black Snake Tribe, he would not move everyone back to the Ancestral Land. He would only send some people to occupy it as an outpost. Meanwhile, the rest would find a new location to establish themselves and develop.
For a Tribe to develop, besides trading with other Tribes, it also needed abundant mineral and plant resources to sustain continuous development.
“Yes, there’s a big river near the Ancestral Land,” Yu Ying’s fox ears twitched.
“Is it very big?” Su Bai’s black eyes brightened slightly. Having a river was a good thing.
“Very big. You can’t see the other side at a glance,” Yu Ying said seriously.
[It might be at least a river over ten kilometres wide…] Su Bai estimated in his heart, satisfied with the presence of a river at the Ancestral Land.
He continued to ask. “Are there a lot of game around the Ancestral Land?”
“There are many wild animals, and lots of berries too.” Yu Ying’s pink eyes flickered with memories as she said. “Yan Hua, Sha Lan, and other Warrior Trainees could always hunt wild chickens and rabbits. Everyone could eat lots of berries.”
“Not many Ferocious Beasts?” Su Bai asked about the key point.
“There are no Ferocious Beasts near the Ancestral Land, they were all driven away by the Totem Warriors,” Yu Ying softly said.
“Then are there many Tribes around the Ancestral Land?” Su Bai had a general impression of the Ancestral Land’s resources. Now, it was questions about social proximity.
Yu Ying hesitated for a moment before answering. “There are probably seven or eight Tribes.”
She had not been out of the Tribe much. Most of what she knew came from friends and Elders.
“How’s their strength?” This was what Su Bai cared most about.
Yu Ying thought carefully before answering: “Many Tribes are weaker than ours. Only three Tribes have strength similar to our Flame Dragon Tribe.”
“Is one of them the Black Snake Tribe?” Su Bai asked in a deep voice.
“No, no they’re not.” Yu Ying quickly shook her head, her voice indignant. “The Black Snake Tribe isn’t from near the Ancestral Land. They come from another region.”
“Oh? The Black Snake Tribe isn’t even close to the Ancestral Land?” Su Bai asked in surprise.
“The Black Snake Tribe is a wandering Tribe. They don’t really settle,” Yu Ying said, pursing her lips.
“How long do they stay in one place?” Su Bai really had not expected the Black Snake Tribe to be a migratory Tribe.
Yu Ying searched through her memories and said: “It varies. Sometimes, they stay for over a hundred days. Sometimes, for two or three years.”
“I see,” Su Bai nodded and began to analyse. The Black Snake Tribe was a bandit-like Tribe that did not produce anything. They only survived by plundering resources from other Tribes.
“…” Yu Ying stood beside him, tilting her head. Her fox ears twitching as she secretly studied the Shaman’s face, finding him more and more handsome.
Su Bai temporarily forgot about the fox eared girl, rapidly deducing in his mind. [The resources at the Flame Dragon Tribe’s Ancestral Land is certainly not scarce. The Black Snake Tribe would most likely stay for a long time. They would only move to plunder the surrounding Tribes when their resources are nearly depleted. No, they might already be preparing to plunder. Once the resources in an area get consumed, they will migrate again.]
[In other words, even if we find a new place to settle, we’ll eventually get targeted by the Black Snake Tribe again,] Su Bai mused, planning ahead and muttering. “Our development will definitely be slower than the Black Snake Tribe. Plunder-style development is faster than sustainable development. Just in terms of population, we’re already several steps behind.”
He took a sip from his water cup, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said. “But, if their plundering gets interrupted, the Black Snake Tribe will be done for. Seems like we can start from this point.”
“…” Yu Ying heard his last sentence, her pink eyes widening. She believe that the Shaman was already planning on how to deal with the Black Snake Tribe.
