Proofreader: The Eunuch

Yan Mo originally wanted to ask for Yuan Diao’s help so he can find useful things such as herbs, but he decided to suspend the plan after seeing Yuan Shan’s attitude after seeing the wood plate he painted.

For the next three days, Yan Mo was very low-key and only stayed in the tent to take care of his wounds and didn’t attract any limelight. He Tu came to him every day and brought him some food every single time.

The food brought by He Tu was more abundant than the ones given by Cao Ting. In addition to meet some wild fruits and some kind of fruit that is similar to red dates would be occasionally given.

Although Yan Mo did not walk out of the tent, it never meant he didn’t carry out things inside the tent.

In order to have a better life and leave an escape route in the future, he tried outlining the topographical map that spread around Salt Mountain tribe according to the memories left by the body.

There were several large and small tribes near the Salt Mountain people. The details of the tribes weren’t clear in his memories. He only remembered a few famous ones such as the Zhi (swine) tribe, the Snake charmer tribe and the Sun Worshipper tribe.

In addition to mining salt, the salt mountain land also has a good surrounding environment, and it can basically be self-sufficient. This was probably one of the reasons why The Zhi people attacked them.

The original land legends said that The Zhi people were the most wretched, causing the people to be particularly fearful of them. Both men and women in that tribe can be warriors. When necessary, they will feed on the weak members of the family to keep the strong ones.

The Snake Charmer people were said to live in a very good valley; not cold in winter and not hot in summer. The valley is rich in production with plenty of clean groundwater not to mention their land is better compared to nearby tribes. Their tribe is also very popular with the serpents. The snake tribe are good at utilizing snakes; they are adept at making poisons, and are capable of doing things in a whole other level. Once they attacked, the entire race will not be spared causing the average person to be wary of provoking them.

The Sun Worshipper people live in the grasslands. They breed strong horses that allow them to come and go like the wind. Aside from horse breeding, they are also good at hunting and unlike the Yuan Ji Tribe, the Sun Worshippers does not have a fixed living place. They move around while chasing all kinds of cattle and flocks, running all over the place all year round. This tribe is also one of the largest customers of the Salt Mountain people.

From the things mentioned about and added together with the memories of the young man, the migration of the tribes and his general understanding of Yuan tribes, Yan Mo speculated that these tribes should be living in the middle of the continent. Base on the dry climate and the difference in temperature between morning and evening, this land should be a far away from the ocean with high mountain ranges acting as barriers in the middle.

He didn’t know if the place belongs to the temperate continental climate, or regarded as a plateau continental climate. To be certain, he has to go out and see the plants and animals here. If it belongs to plateau continental climate, the vegetation distribution will be very poor, but if it belongs to temperate continental climate, then the vegetation will be dominated by grasslands and deserts.

Yan Mo does not intend to stay in Yuan tribe long not only because he will become a slave here, but also because, in his opinion, the environment here is not suitable for tribal development. If he wants to live a better life, he must find another place.

This is a good thing in the primitive society. The local area is large yet the population is small. There is a lot of free land; however, he is only one person. If he wants to leave, he must be prepared; otherwise, any beasts and savage along the way will be able to smash him into nothing. It is best to lie to a few high-powered people and encourage them to join him.

Hunting, building a house, finding resources, occupying a land, protecting yourself; everything that were mentioned require manpower. No one person can live alone and well in a primitive society, unless... he is god.

To find the right person, he must hurry to walk on his own.

For this, Yan Mo is not worried at all. His bones were mended in just four days, and on the fifth day, his wounds healed to the point of only showing an irregular red mark.

He asked Cao Ting whether people of Yuan Ji, who had been slightly injured, always heal very quickly. As long as the big injury does not lead to someone dying, the healing period of the broken bone usually requires half a month. The two weeks of healing meant the bones are strong enough for one to run and jump at will. On the other hand, serious injuries like the one Yan Mo got will usually lead to amputations. In these cases, few of the injured were worth saving. In the slim chance of success, the healing time will take longer and can still lead to death afterwards.

After understanding this, Yan Mo tested his legs and found that he could clearly walk down the ground. Though this was the case, he didn’t remove the wooden splint and still relied on Cao Ting to move back and forth.

1].... Asshole

2) Well...he is a banished scum after all.

Yan Mo doesn't believe that his body’s quick recovery or fast healing ability is a gift bestowed to him by the God. He believes God simply did not want him to waste time healing his injuries. In short, the purpose of his quick healing is — to let him make a good reformation of this land he is on.

"Little Mo! The hunting team is back! Your master is coming back!" The excitement from Cao Ting rolled outside the tent.

Yan Mo responded by taking three of the gold needles from the Guide’s reward list and inserting them into the animal skin on his left wristband. It is too troublesome to call the reward list of the page every single time. He still had to bite his finger before the desired item can be called and removed.

Yan Mo hasn’t found a way to verify it a few times, which made someone's heart extremely unscrupulous. It‘s so troublesome to use the Guide. If he is in a hurry to save his own life with a golden needle, then how can he still have time to bite the finger and write on the Guide?

The Guide can't be relied on. He can only rely on himself and so Yan Mo made himself a wristband that has secret compartments where he can easily insert the gold needles.

This animal skin wristband was made by him in these past two days. Because there is no suitable holes he did not use the needle, instead, he used a stone cone to poke through a row of four holes with a total of twelve rows of holes on the animal skin. The leather ropes made of animal skins pass through these small holes and finally closed on both ends.

Yan Mo hopes this wristband will not attract attention.

Yan Mo looked left and right and felt a little uneasy. A slave with a wristband that has such a beautiful and protective effect makes him too eye-catching.

After thinking about it, Yan Mo pulled out the three golden needles and inserted them into his straw belt. If this wristband stand out and someone pays attention, then it will not be too late to plug the needles back.

Cao Ting came in with her expression filled with joy. The return of the hunting team meant Yuan Diao will be given a portion of the fresh meat and fur. As Yuan Diao’s slave, Cao Ting can naturally follow. Since there is not a lot of salt to pickle the dried meat, in the first two days after hunting party returns, everyone will have enough food to eat including the slaves. It is because of this that the return of the hunting tea, is considered as a great event for the entire tribe.

"The hunting team is going to enter the tribe. Everyone is going to the square today. I will go with you. Your master will be very happy to see you!"

Yan Mo didn't want to meet his annoying master, but he wanted to know about the village population distribution, their total number as well as their age and gender, so he did not refuse.

Cao Ting carried Yan Mo along with her and run to the square.

Almost every tent has people running out, and everyone has a smile on their faces.

Yan Mo came out after all these days and heard so many voices and saw so many people for the first time. There were children shouting and running past him, and adults did not pay them attention.

Some people greeted Cao Ting while some people wondered about why Yan Mo was on her back. Everyone rushed to the square, and no one waited to ask Cao Ting.

More and more people gathered in the square, Yan Mo clung on Cao Ting. Yuan Shan and He Tu were also there as well as the two children of Yuan He.

Cao Ting put down Yan Mo and let him stand on his one leg.

Yan Mo bent over and sat with Yuan Diao and the others slaves who were crouching and bending for the ceremony.

He wasn't about to be unobtrusive. Yuan Diao, including He Tu, ignored him.

Yan Mo noticed that there was a big boy sitting near Yuan Shan. The boy's appearance was a little different from that normally seen on Yuan Ji people. The people in Yuan Ji tribe are all tall possessing a deep facial contour, dark eyes, and tanned skin. The boy was thin and effeminate, his skin was white and his eyes were green. Yan Mo can see he is a mix race.

"That is Wen Shang, Da She and Da Shan exchanged four honeydew melons for him." Cao Ting whispered.

It turned out that last time he ate a quarter of a slave price. Yan Mo was silent.

"When Shang doesn't like to talk. His temper is a bit gloomy, but he is very good. You would know when you spend time with him."

Yan Mo nodded to Wen Shang and the latter nodded back. There was a sudden commotion in front of the square, and Yan Mo saw a large team approaching the Horde.

Someone ran back in a mad scream: "Great harvest! Great harvest! A lot of prey!"

 The crowd cheered.

Yan Mo glanced through the crowd and slightly frowned.

There is a greater number of men compared to women and a greater number of adult compared to children. The elderly are surprisingly the least number. These old people, although they have deep wrinkles on their faces, still look healthy. He can only speculate from what he’d seen so far that the priest he saw last time is this tribe’s oldest person?

Such a demographic composition is absolutely unreasonable and unsuitable for development.

"The chief, the priest, and the elders are coming!"  Cao Ting made Yan Mo sit on the ground before bowing her body.

The crowds separated like Moses parting the Red Sea. The chief was placed in the front, the priest was in the middle, and the elders were at the enclosure when the hunting party finally entered the square.

All the slaves kneeled down.

Yan Mo didn’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional when Yuan Diao, Yuan Shan and He Tu blocked Yan Mo from bowing on the ground. Cao Ting and the Wen Shang were bowing on the left and right sides of Yan Mo

When the chief and elders walked by, Cao Ting and the Wen Shang helped Yan Mo to stand up again.

The chief and others stood at the front of the square, and everyone stood behind them. No one dared to cross them, including children who were not sensible.

The huge team came from the distance approaching in moderately fast gait.

Because of the terrain, Yan Mo who stood behind saw the whole picture of the team. 

... Heavens fuck!

This was Yan Mo's first impression of the tribe’s army.

He thought that it would be a group of savage in a leather skirt, carrying a pile of dead prey back. 

But what did he see now? 

He actually saw an army! And it was a rigorous discipline army at that!

The whole army was composed of young men. All of them were wearing leather skirts and holding wooden spears. They didn’t wear shoes and their bodies were large and naked, but anyone who saw them would understand that it wasn’t their spears but their bodies that are the most powerful weapon! 

Sweat made their bronzed and tanned skin shine like oil pit. The solid bulging muscles condensed like stones made Yan Mo suspect that even the beast's claws couldn’t break them. 

Many people have blood and injuries, but no one stopped or showed any pain. Those who were gravely injured won’t come back. Those who can return can walk back to the Horde on their two legs. 

The pace of each warrior seems to be the same size. The entire team of about a thousand people was divided into four squares, guarding the prey in the middle that was carried by the slaves.

If the slaves dared to slow down, the supervisors will immediately whip them and force them to keep moving.

It was obvious that they had reached the confines of their own tribe, specifically, the most central part of residence. However, the momentum of the warriors who were marching towards the square did slacking and each division didn’t even move out of shape. 

Enemies can appear anywhere and anytime. They, not only have to fight with wild beasts, but also fight with all the other tribal warriors who may want to steal their prey along the way; even if they already reached their home, they cannot slack because of the hunters of the other tribes.

Yan Mo subconsciously grabbed his chest. 

Shocking... This is simply too shocking!

He had seen the more powerful army back in his previous life. It never crossed his mind that a primitive tribe can developed such a murderous force. In fact, it isn’t terrible for an army to have murderous force and strength. A single warrior is stronger than a team. 

However, when an army has terrible discipline they would cause fear. In such cases, their individual strength and capabilities cannot be ignored.

Fuck the ancestors, Yan Mo muttered to himself. He is too small to even try to go one on one with these primitive people.
