Chapter 39 Scamming Other Tribes of Supplies

The Black Goose tribe originally relied mainly on kidnapping people. The core reason why this tribe was able to grow from nothing to its current size was mainly due to its simple and brutal method of kidnapping.

Since Xu Que defeated Sao Nan Ba ​​Han at the last Primitive Barter Conference, the reputation of the Black Goose Tribe among the upstream, midstream, and downstream tribes has plummeted, and its ranking has also dropped drastically.

Bahan and Ji have been keeping a low profile in the tribe lately, not daring to show off at all!

That day, Bahan had no women to fight over, so he got bored and left the tribe to wander around outside.

Suddenly he realized that all the tribes in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the river were talking about Xu Que when they gathered together. The next most talked-about topics were the Black Stone Tribe and the Giant Deer Tribe. Now the two tribes had merged and were renamed the Black Deer Tribe.

Bahan secretly plotted in his heart: "Since everyone believes in and likes the Black Deer Tribe so much, I'll first lure some people over to this tribe to strengthen my Black Deer Tribe!"

He only told the chief about this idea, and Ji, the chief of the Black Goose tribe, fully supported him in doing so! After all, the Black Goose tribe's culture is primarily based on strength.

Bahan thought to himself, "Since everyone likes the Black Deer Tribe so much, what can I do to pique everyone's interest?"

After much deliberation, Bahan finally had a clue.

After finalizing his idea, he decided to test the waters with a smaller tribe upstream first.

Bahan acted immediately, packing some essential supplies and setting off with his animal-hide food bag on his back.

The first tribe he was to persuade was so small that it didn't even have a name, with only a little over a hundred people! It was even smaller than the Black Stone Tribe he had encountered before.

When the tribal chief saw Bahan brazenly trespassing into their territory, he rallied all the tribe members, who grabbed weapons such as sticks, stones, and large animal thigh bones, preparing to attack the trespasser.

Bahan remained completely calm upon seeing this scene; instead, he walked straight into the tribe's cave.

Just as all the tribe members were puzzled, Bahan took his animal-hide food bag off his shoulder, placed it on a rock in front of him, and reached into his bag to pull out the grand prize he had won when he kidnapped women from other tribes: five pearls taken from clam shells!

The tribal chief only truly believed Bahan after seeing the things he carried with him!

"I'm sure everyone knows who I am! I don't want to go into any further details, okay?"

"Yes! Yes!" The tribal chief and his members nodded repeatedly.

"Alright! I'll get straight to the point!"

"The main reason I came to your tribe this time is to convey the spirit of the Black Deer Tribe! The Black Deer Tribe is currently recruiting a lot of people! I wonder if anyone in your tribe is willing to join them? If so, you can come to me to sign up now! I will give you a rough registration here!" As Bahan spoke, he took out a thin stone from his animal skin food bag, took out a pen made from a tree branch, dipped it in animal blood to write, and looked like he was always writing records for the members of the tribe.

"I'll count!"

"I'll count myself!"

“I don’t think you need to keep track! Our tribe only has about a hundred people in total! Every single one of us wants to go to the Black Deer Tribe! We dream about going! If we’re going, we’ll all go! If we’re not going, none of us will go! It’s not like a few will go and a few will stay! Or that all the strong and healthy males in our tribe will be taken away, leaving only the old, weak, sick, and disabled! If that’s the case, we will absolutely not agree to it!”

“How could that be! Among all the primitive tribes in this land, the Black Deer Tribe has the best reputation and is the most trustworthy, without exception! Their tribe would never do such a thing!” As Bahan spoke, he put all the thin stone tablets and twig pens he had prepared into the animal skin food bag.

Bahan deliberately said this, which completely dispelled the doubts of the tribal chief and members.

He continued, "Since you've all decided to integrate into the Black Deer tribe, all your tribe's supplies must be sent to the Black Deer tribe for registration beforehand! Only after registration can tribe members go! Are you willing?"

"Yes! Yes! Of course we're willing!" The tribal chief and members nodded repeatedly, feeling as if they had received some rare and precious treasure.

"Alright! It's settled then! I'll go back now and tell the Black Deer tribe leader all the details about your tribe! Then their tribe will send people to take your tribe's supplies away!" Bahan nodded seriously after saying this, then bid farewell to the tribal chief and members and went to the next small tribe to continue his deception.

Bahan used the same methods he used to persuade the previous tribe, and quickly won the unanimous approval of the chief and the tribe members!

Bahan felt that if he could swindle supplies from two small tribes each day, he would consider his mission accomplished.

After leaving the second tribe, he didn't go to the third small tribe, but went straight towards the Black Goose tribe.

As Bahan walked towards his tribe, he hummed a little tune all the way, and seemed to be in a very good mood!

He returned to the Black Goose tribe and told Chief Ji the whole story of the two incidents.

Ji thought this was a good way to plunder resources, so she immediately sent out a team of dozens of people to follow Bahan to transfer resources from the two tribes they had just met!

Upon arriving at the entrance of the first tribal cave they had just been tricked into visiting, Bahan knocked on their tribal gate stone! When the chief and the tribal members opened the door, Xu Que quickly went to greet them and explained the situation to them in detail.

With the consent of the chief and all tribal members, Bahan then ordered everyone to transfer all the tribe's resources to the Black Goose tribe, leaving none behind.

After the first tribe was relocated, they moved on to the second tribe that believed in Bahan.

The first tribal chief asked Bahan with great doubt, "How long after our tribe's supplies are transferred to the Black Deer tribe will all our tribe members be able to go there? If this waiting time is too long, I think it's better not to move all our supplies! At least leave some for the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled in our tribe! What if they transfer all our supplies without notifying us to go to the new tribe?"

"I think we should keep some supplies for ourselves! Otherwise, if we don't receive any notification to enter the Black Deer tribe, won't we starve to death?"

"How could anyone starve to death! Given the current situation of the Black Deer Tribe, it's impossible for anyone to starve to death! I guarantee it with my own head! I'll take your grass and leave in less than half a day, and the Black Deer Tribe will give you a notice to join the tribe!"
