Chapter 197 – Observing the sky and praying for rain (2/2)

The weather changed very quickly here, so only part of the common knowledge of his past life could be applied. Shao Xuan often failed to predict the weather, for the clouds sometimes changed very fast. It was difficult to predict the weather a long time in advance.

“Observe the sky? Maybe.” Yang Sui said, “The reason why I was the first candidate for shaman was that I was the first to succeed in praying for rain.”

While speaking of “succeed in praying for rain”, Yang Sui spoke with a little bit of guilt.

A long time ago, the shaman of the Rain tribe could pray for rain at any time. Even during the dry season, the shaman could let drops of rain fall. Later, this ability was lost.

It was said that the first shaman who failed to pray for rain was burned to death. He had irritated the god of sky, so the totem couldn’t work to bring them rain. But later, the second, third, and even more still failed to do so. At the beginning, everyone panicked, but they had now become indifferent to it. All means had been tried, but there was no way. A new rule was made so the candidate must travel around to find a solution. But over the past many years, no shaman of the Rain tribe succeeded in praying for rain, but this rule was still imposed until now.

Therefore, when Yang Sui “succeeded in praying for rain”, many were stunned in the tribe. But in fact. Yang Sui only observed the sky and forecast the rain, but the others in the tribe misunderstood him. Yang Sui had intended to explain to them, but he gave up when he saw the response of those in the tribe and the sparkling eyes of the chief. He thought if he had explained to them, he would have been burned to death in the fire pit by the chief.

“Oh!” Yang Sui could not help but sigh.

The thought of praying for rain made Yang Sui feel pain in his body as if he was burned. He hoped that he wouldn’t have to tell the truth when returning to the tribe.

Not in every tribe did the shaman have the highest status . If he was powerful and also good at deceiving the others, he enjoyed the highest status. However, if not, he would be burned to death or be punished in the tribe, like the Rain tribe.

Yang Sui didn’t talk much about the Rain tribe, so Shao Xuan could only guess the situation of that tribe based on his words. But could anyone succeed in praying for rain? That sounded amazing.

As Yang Sui said, the rain kept falling until the night.

The next day, it was sunny again. The sun was shining on the earth and drove away the coolness of late autumn.

“When we reach the Longboat tribe, it may snow, right?” Yang Sui said. Because of the matter of praying for rain, Yang Sui paid attention to the climate and weather changes in every place he arrived. He inquired about the climate of previous years, and then according to the information he got, he predicted the weather. He just made some predictions in advance and only when he got there could he reach any conclusion.

Having packed up, Shao Xuan gestured for Chacha to come down.

Looking at Chacha, Yang Sui was excited. And so when Shao Xuan jumped up, he also followed him to climb up.

However, Chacha flew up when Shao Xuan jumped on his back.

“Hey?” Ready to lift his leg up to climb up, Yang Sui was shocked.

Chacha flew in a circle, and then flew down to grab Yang Sui.

“Hey?!!” Seeing the eagle claw, Yang Sui wanted to run back at once.

He ran, but the eagle was faster than him. He was caught before he could run far enough.

Yang Sui, when hiding in the woods, saw Chacha kill the men of the Wan Shi tribe with its claw. At this time, the thought of this bloody picture came to his mind. He closed his eyes as he felt he was about to die.

But soon, he felt something different. The strength of the eagle claw was not as great as he imagined, and he wasn’t scratched.

Opening his eyes, Yang Sui saw he was leaving the ground rapidly .

For the first time, he was brought into such a height in the air.

“AAAaaaahhh~~!!”

Early in the morning, a scream was heard over the forest and startled a group of birds which was looking for food.

After a while of having screamed his lungs out, Yang Sui became quiet. He saw a tribe beneath his feet.

Chacha deliberately flew over the Wan Shi tribe and dropped some feces along the way. Then it turned around, and flew towards the direction which Shao Xuan pointed at .

The Longboat tribe also lived in the central region, but not close to the center. The tribe lived next to a wide river. Undoubtedly, the widest river in the central region was way narrower than that one in front of the Flaming Horns tribe. That river was as wide as an ocean.

While traveling with the team of the Pu tribe, Shao Xuan heard someone in the team say that the traveling team of the Pu tribe had been to the Longboat tribe before. But for some reasons, the team changed the route later. Shao Xuan got all the information about the Longboat tribe from the travelers.

Those in the Longboat tribe were good at shipbuilding. It was said that the tribe made the first boat in the central region, and later this tribe developed a fleet. Owning a fleet was also the characteristics of this tribe.

How could they make useful and strong boats mentioned by the travelers without metal?
