Hearing Lan Shao's words, Li Mo, who had always cherished his life, immediately grasped the small bones tightly, not daring to lose them. At the same time, Li Mo muttered in his heart, "Oh my god, you tribe people just kill people when they say they want to. Can you be more peaceful?"
Lan Shao then handed Li Mo an animal skin coat. Judging from the quality of the coat, it was many times better than the uncovered animal skin Li Mo was wearing.
"From now on, you are a member of our Shadow Leopard Tribe. You have to practice hard. As long as your cultivation level is high enough and you are loyal enough to the tribe, the benefits will inevitably come to you. But... if you have second thoughts... "
After saying that, Lan Shao picked up another bone on the stone table. Then Lan Shao clenched his hand into a fist, and heard a clicking sound. As Lan Shao opened his hand, the bones turned into pieces of powder. If Li Mo had second thoughts about the tribe, Lan Shao would crush Li Mo to ashes without anyone else.
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Li Mo immediately bowed down and said with a pale face. But at this moment, Li Mo couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Loyalty? I, Li Mo, am only loyal to myself."
"good"
Of course Lan Shao didn't know what Li Mo was thinking. Seeing Li Mo's worried look, Lan Shao said with satisfaction. Then Lan Shao dug out a piece of sheepskin on the messy stone table, and a map was carved on the sheepskin.
"The hundreds of thousands of miles on the map are under the control of our Shadow Leopard Tribe. Choose a fiefdom for your tribe. The fiefdom you choose now is only a few acres of land, but if you can join the Shadow Leopard Tribe and other tribes in the future, If you perform meritorious service in the tribe’s battle, the tribe will reward you with a larger fiefdom.”
Lan Shao said as he handed the map in his hand to Li Mo. Hearing Lan Shao's words, Li Mo couldn't help but feel happy. There are less than twenty people in their tribe now. If they can grow grains on a few acres of land and go hunting often, their life will be quite comfortable.
Li Mo took the map and found that there were many black and red dots on the map. Li Mo couldn't help but asked doubtfully
"What is the difference between the fiefdoms marked by the black dots and the red dots?"
"The red dots are fiefs that have been granted to other tribes, and the black dots are those that have not yet been granted, so you can't choose the red dots," Lan Shao explained.
"oh"
Li Mo responded and searched the map carefully. Finally, Li Mo pointed to a black spot on the map and said
“That’s it”
Looking at the black spots on Li Mo's fingers, Lan Shao couldn't help but reveal a playful smile. The fiefdom where the black spot pointed to by Li Mo could be considered a fiefdom far away from their Shadow Leopard tribe. It seems that Li Mo also knows that the Shadow Leopard Tribe gave fiefdoms to subordinate tribes for the purpose of keeping them under guard.
This fiefdom is far away from the base camp of the Shadow Leopard Tribe, so it is easy to escape if something happens. But how could Lan Shao not see this trick? But Lan Shao didn't care at all. A tribe that was as small as it could be and didn't even have a strong person in the spirit-guiding realm wanted to run away from the jurisdiction of the Shadow Leopard Tribe? Where can I run to
"Okay, I will order someone to take your tribe members to the fiefdom here later, so you don't have to go. I will now arrange your future affairs in the tribe for you."
Lan Shao put away the sheepskin map and said.
"yes"
Li Mo responded and immediately followed Lan Shao out of the house.
Lan Shao first stopped a big man and asked them to lead Duan Long to the fiefdom. Then Lan Shao said while walking with Li Mo
"The Shadow Leopard Tribe has accepted many warriors from other small tribes over the years, so there are many surnames in the tribe. But in the tribe, there are three major surnames that are the main surnames of the Shadow Leopard Tribe, which you cannot mess with. The first one is The surname is Leopard, and the surname Leopard was the first to enshrine Master Yingbao as a totem. The position of clan leader has always been held by clan members with the surname Bao, and the ancestor of the Shadow Leopard Tribe who led the Great Perfection of Spirits was also surnamed Bao.
The second surname is my surname, Lan. Although the surname Lan joined the Shadow Leopard tribe later. However, the Lan surname is now the largest group of people in the Shadow Leopard Tribe, and there are also many strong men with the Lan surname serving as elders in the tribe. Moreover, the Lan tribe has always been united. If you offend one Lan tribe member, you offend all the Lan tribe members. The third surname, Wei, is a tribe that has good relations with the Bao surname... "
Although Lan Shao didn't say it clearly, Li Mo understood it. The rise of the Wei surname must be secretly supported by the Bao surname, because the Bao surname will not allow the Lan surname who later entered the Shadow Leopard tribe to become bigger and bigger.
Then Li Mo couldn't help but be a little speechless. He didn't expect that there would be such distinct factions in this tribe. In contrast, Li Mo missed Grandpa, Atu and the others a little. Although the living conditions of Li Mo's former tribe were very poor, the people were very simple. They are as simple as a clear spring, which can be seen clearly at a glance.
While Lan Shao and Li Mo were talking and walking, the two came to the Shadow Leopard Tribe's martial arts training ground. Simple weapons were lined up on both sides. Although these weapons looked a little rough, they were much better than those of Li Mo's former tribe.
Even some people who seemed to have extraordinary status already had weapons made of iron in their hands. But looking at the roughness, it seems that the forging method is not high.
"Hey! Ha!"
The martial arts training ground is very large, with hundreds of people practicing here. The older ones are in their thirties, and the younger ones are as young as thirteen or fourteen years old.
"The Shadow Leopard Tribe has two hunting teams, and this is one of them. From now on, you can practice here and hunt with them."
Watching the men of the Shadow Leopard Tribe practicing sweat and sweat, Lan Shao had a satisfied smile on his face. The two large hunting teams of the Shadow Leopard Tribe, with nearly three hundred people, do not need to work like farming or fishing. But the daily mission of these two hunting teams is to hunt. When the tribe is in danger, they work with the tribe's warriors to protect the tribe. If they were lazy today, they might be killed by wild beasts or spears from the enemy tomorrow.
"Three Elders"
Seeing Lan Shao's clansmen stopped practicing, they bowed to Lan Shao and said. Obviously, Lan Shao is still very prestigious in the tribe.
A big man with a stubble on his face and an arm that was almost as big as Li Mo's arm also immediately ran over and bowed to Lan Shao.
"Third Elder, why are you here?"
"Come and see you, I'll save you guys from being lazy," Lan Shao said jokingly.
"Haha, how dare you"
The big man scratched his head and said with a silly smile. Li Mo could tell that this big man had a relatively straightforward personality. It seemed that this big man should be the captain of their hunting team.
"This boy's name is Li Mo. He is a new member of our tribe and will be left to you from now on."
Lan Shao glanced at Li Mo and introduced him to the big man. Then Lan Shao said to Li Mo again
"This is your future captain, Mo Sang."
As soon as he heard this name, Li Mo knew that the three major surnames of Mo Sang and Shadow Leopard tribe could not compete with him. Li Mo hugged Mo Sang and said politely.
"Please ask Captain Mo Sang to take care of you in the future."
