Chapter 526: The Great Chief 44
This time, the one who answered Yan Shuangshuang wasn't Yu, but Ben who was beside her, "The warrior's strength is stored in the body on usual days, and during battles, you can guide the strength out of the body and infuse it into the weapon in your hand."
"The power's strength is determined by the warrior's own ability. For example, your father and I are just the most ordinary warriors. Our power can only be used once and it's gone, but you awakened as an Advanced Warrior, your internal power should be usable several times, and its might is greater than both of ours."
"The warrior's power will grow in the body on its own, just some grow fast and some slow. When the power grows to an extreme limit, it will automatically open the body's barrier and level up to Second-level Warrior. The bodily quality of Second-level Warriors will improve significantly, even the strength of their attacks will also be a lot stronger."
Yu said from aside with some yearning, it's said that in the Power Tribe's most prosperous time, there were even Level 4 Warriors, but unfortunately, not even Second-level Warriors have been seen for years now. Thinking of this, Yu looked at Yan Shuangshuang with eyes that grew fiery and full of hope.
Yan Shuangshuang awakened directly as an Advanced Warrior, truly a Divine Favored. Perhaps in the future, she might become a Third Level or even a Level 4 Warrior. Even Level 4 Warriors are extremely rare in Great Tribes. If the Power Tribe could have a Level 4 Warrior, Yu felt she would have no regrets even if she died.
Upon hearing the explanation, Yan Shuangshuang was dumbfounded. Is that all? The power usage method is so simple and crude, there's no cultivation secret, no growth method, just guide the power out of the body and use it directly! Even the warrior's level is just waiting for it to rise on its own, so when will it become strong?
Although knowing this is the Primitive World where human wisdom is just sprouting, not understanding things like Martial Arts secrets is normal, Yan Shuangshuang did not expect to have any cultivation technique secrets. But not having even the point of where to guide the power out of the body disappointed her.
However, disappointment is useless, Yu's own witch power usage is also about inputting it from her body into others' bodies, and solely relying on the witch power's instinct to wander in the human body, heal, and then retrieve it, of other methods she also doesn't know.
No wonder every time Yu treated her illness, the witch power had to run a lap inside her body, Yan Shuangshuang used to think it was her body being too weak, needing Yu to use witch power to go around her whole body, turns out it's just the way Yu knows to treat.
Anyway, the witch's treatment method is just like that, having witch power enter the body and make a lap around, if it can heal then it heals, if not then just accept fate.
Ben and Mang Mountain came over this time, one reason was to check on Yan Shuangshuang, but more importantly to discuss with her the matter of merging Lanshan Tribe and Power Tribe.
After the hyena pack attack, Lanshan Tribe lost many warriors and has sustained severe damages, even its stored grains have been almost entirely ravaged by those hyenas. Without outside help, many people in Lanshan Tribe might die during this cold season.
Just as well, Power Tribe doesn't lack food, this time there's also plenty of hyena meat from the hunt, and the Earth King Beast serving as a big security guard outside the caves, safety and nourishment are no longer issues, capable of supporting the remaining two hundred plus people from Lanshan Tribe, Ben intends for Lanshan Tribe to also join Power Tribe and live together with them.
Considering that the abundance of Earth King Beast and various foods are all brought by Yan Shuangshuang, and the merger of the two tribes is a small issue, given Yan Shuangshuang's current status in the tribe, Ben and Yu naturally want to seek her opinion.
Yan Shuangshuang naturally won't oppose this, she was worried about the slow development due to Power Tribe's small population and low childbirth and infant survival rates in this world, difficult to rely on. Now with Lanshan Tribe willing to join, it's like a pillow delivered for her drowsiness, just what Yan Shuangshuang wants.
Lanshan Tribe originally had more than three hundred people, now only two hundred seventy-four remain, whereas Power Tribe only has thirty-five people, now with Lanshan Tribe joining, the total population is three hundred and nine. Among them, there are seven older people who look middle-aged, these people are from Lanshan Tribe, a small tribe like Power Tribe doesn't have people able to live this long.
Additionally, there are twenty-one children, including the two children from Power Tribe, counting Yan Shuangshuang herself within this number.
Three hundred plus people, only twenty-one children, shows how rare children are, not simply due to primitive low reproductive ability, but more due to this world's harsh lifestyle making it difficult for children to survive into adulthood without dying prematurely.
The world is unfriendly to children, with cold season's chill, hot season's heat, various diseases, and even slightly ferocious prey targeting them, leading to many children dying prematurely, births cannot catch up to deaths, thus children become rare.
What makes Yan Shuangshuang happiest is that there are seven pregnant women in Lanshan Tribe, which means the population may soon increase by at least seven. Yan Shuangshuang takes this very seriously.
To ensure these noticeably malnourished pregnant women can safely give birth, Yan Shuangshuang specially allocates each pregnant woman half a fish extra per day, whether to grill or cook as soup, but forbids storing or giving it to others. If Yan Shuangshuang finds out any such thing, she will cancel this privilege.
Yan Shuangshuang gave this privilege for the future of the tribe, but if anyone hypocritically disobeys her order, she won't care whether that one or two children can be born healthy, she's not so charitable to worry about children not cherished by their own family.
This privilege wasn't given only to these pregnant women, she outright announced that all pregnant women would have extra food distribution in the future to supplement nutrition and ensure healthy childbirth.
Regarding Yan Shuangshuang's decision, although not everyone understands, Power Tribe people always unconditionally obey Yan Shuangshuang, Lanshan Tribe people benefiting would hardly oppose.
Moreover, they've looked over the food storage and know that distributing a little more won't starve everyone, at most eating less meat a few times, sparing some to care for pregnant women, these people don't object, as long as they are fed it doesn't matter whether it's meat.
Ben and Yu have always been unconditionally supportive of Yan Shuangshuang's decisions, as for Mang Mountain, the beneficiaries are Lanshan Tribe's pregnant women, why would he oppose, Zhi and Yun are Yu's father and mother, in this way, all decision-making powers fall to Yan Shuangshuang whom everyone will not oppose.
Though Lanshan Tribe ultimately isn't Power Tribe's people, not everyone naturally listens to Yan Shuangshuang's words.
