Chapter 1412 The Chief (1/2)
Sadisram did not let the situation become worse. When Hakatulama came up to push away Li Du and his men, he and his nephew stood in the way and insisted, ”This is the tribe's guest of honor!”
Hakatulama said stiffly, ”You know the tribe's rules. The tribe doesn't accept white and black guests!”
”But Mr. Li is yellow, not white or black,” replied Sadisram forcefully.
While there were many different phenotypes among Native American nations, they all had a distinctive appearance, very different from that of the European Caucasoid invaders who eventually conquered their lands.
Although there was naturally much assimilation over the centuries, with the Native American gene pool blending with the European one, most tribes were still fiercely proud of their identity.
The Mohicans were a traditional tribe that maintained its purity of descent, and most of the villagers looked as though they didn't have a single drop of European blood in their veins.
It was a big issue if outsiders came into the tribe. After someone informed the chief, he came with his men.
The chief, who was probably in his forties, was bare-chested and muscular, with a design in red and green paint on his forehead, like two leaves holding a flame.
Seeing him coming, Hakatulama and Sadisram stopped arguing and stood aside.
The chief looked at them sternly and asked, ”What's going on here?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Hakatulama immediately said, ”Chief, Sadisram, and Catulom have not brought back the supplies dropped by the white evil government, but they came back with some outsiders instead. Look what they have done!”
Sadisram did not speak and looked coldly at his opponent's performance.
Li Du said nothing, and the situation made him a little sick. He had thought that the mountain tribes were friendlier, but he was evidently mistaken.
Either way, he had no intention of staying, and if the chief wished to drive them away, he decided to turn back and leave Sadisram and his nephew alone.
The chief did not speak. He looked at Sadisram, who stepped forward and said, ”Chief, this is what happened…”
He told all about how he followed the helicopter to the distant mountains, found no supplies, and met a copperhead snake. As a result, Catulom was bitten and Sadisram was bitten too when he was trying to get the snake away from his nephew.
Then came the story of Li Du's arrival and the appearance of Ah Ow, the holy wolf who found them and rescued them…
Hearing this, the chief's expression changed.
Hakatulama shouted, ”Don't talk nonsense, it's not a holy wolf, it's just a beast!”
”We've tried to raise wolves before, too. Can those demons be tamed?” Sadisram asked. ”Do you remember what happened when they became adults? Wolves cannot be domesticated!”
Hakatulama stood firm. ”Who knows what these outsiders did? Maybe they've invented some drugs to control animals or something…”
