Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 143 - 143 142 Reward!_1

143: Chapter 142: Reward!_1 143: Chapter 142: Reward!_1 Half an hour later, Xiao Chen was wandering through the tribe.

He found it hard to face those who had lost their children, husbands, and fathers.

Their sobbing was deafeningly piercing.

Such was the gap between life and death.

Only those who have truly experienced it could understand the pain.

The arrangement of the many tribal soldiers and the accounting of the battle resources were all handled by the Grand Elder and others of the Tribe.

Xiao Chen returned to the Stone Tower, pushed open the stone gate, took a deep breath, and stepped in.

The current Xiao Chen was more composed than when he first set foot on this continent, and had lost a bit of his former confusion.

The savagery of the Great Wasteland had made him more understanding of the real meaning of survival, something the age of technology in his previous life could not give him.

Although a year wasn’t long, Xiao Chen felt as if he had experienced endless ages.

It seemed that the world he once lived in was an illusion, a mere dream.

He feared that one day he would forget who he was.

The first time he killed on this continent, the first time he held the great power over thousands of lives and deaths, shouldering the responsibility of making life-or-death decisions for tens of thousands, this brought him a tremendously heavy burden.

After a moment of thought, Xiao Chen sighed, sat back down on the stone bed, after all, the battlefield was not a place to heal injuries.

That was out of necessity.

Now that he was back in the tribe, the treatment of his physical injuries had to be prioritized.

If not taken care of in time, it could damage his Martial Arts foundation, causing irreparable damage to his future Martial Arts.

Originally in Xiao Chen’s plan, after defeating the alliance of Xuan She Kui Shui Tribes, he would dispatch troops in several directions while he would personally go to the Elemental Stone Vein for exploration.

He had never expected that the Kui Shui Tribe would invite the Grand Elder of the Bao Xiang Tribe.

Furthermore, in order to defeat the strong enemy and consolidate the existing victory, Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate to fight with his life, inflicting heavy damage on the enemy but also seriously wounding himself.

He had to return to the tribe first to heal, then plan for the other matters.

Such are the whims of time and fate!

Soon, Xiao Chen had closed his eyes and immersed himself in the surging flow of his vital energy and blood.

The hasty treatment on the battlefield didn’t fully refine the medicinal power in his body.

At the moment, there was still a large amount of unrefined medicinal power in his veins and flesh.

For these medicinal forces, Xiao Chen did not plan to use them to break through the Martial Realm.

After all, in this short year, he had broken through from the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm to the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm, even breaking through a major realm, at such a terrifying speed, it was almost unheard of except for those monstrous geniuses.

Such rapid progress would only result in an unstable foundation for his Martial Arts, and when he attempts to break through to a higher realm in the future, the difficulty would multiply.

A slight deviation can lead to significant errors.

For Xiao Chen, who is pursuing higher realms in Martial Arts, how could he make such mistakes?

He planned to refine these medicinal forces into the organs of his body, making his physical body more robust and his organs more condensed.

The fact that Xiao Chen was able to take this risky move, disregard his internal injuries, forcefully take the healing medicine, and keep his body in peak condition, if his physical body were not strong and his organs weak, he would have exploded and died long ago.

At this moment, a dark green light bloomed from Xiao Chen’s body.

Under his skin, crystal clear patterns emerged like solid figures.

You could see how many elixirs he had taken and how strong their medicinal powers were from earlier.

These Dao patterns looked like a layer of decayed tree bark, rough and mixed with vicissitudes, emanating an aura of passing time.

While Xiao Chen was busy refining the medicinal power in his body and healing his injuries, the Gu Yuan Tribe was in a scene of devastation, with people scattered about.

Tribal warriors returned from the expedition, and some were crying tears of joy with their surviving relatives, while others could only hold a big wooden urn and shed silent tears.

Under the arrangement of the Grand Elder and third elder, Xiao Tan, these returning tribal soldiers did not return to their homes to share the joy of surviving the disaster with their families.

Not only them, but those who had lost their family members also gathered together.

Of the more than one thousand six hundred people sent on the expedition, less than one thousand returned.

The ashes of these fallen warriors were now held in the arms of their loved ones.

They were slowly heading towards the hills in the back of the tribe, to be buried in the ancestral tombs of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Several hours later, the dust settled.

Five hundred and thirteen heroic spirits were buried in the tribal land.

The area was covered with evergreen pines and cypresses, an honorable resting place for the loyal souls.

As tribal elders, Tie Wen and Xiao Tan were incredibly busy after Xiao Chen’s return, calming the tribe members, sorting out the spoils of war, and guiding the emotional state of the people in the tribe.

“Qing Er pays her respects to the two elders.”

Upon hearing Mu Qing’s voice, the two elders, who were busy arranging for the tribal people to sort out the spoils of war, looked up at the newcomer.

For this sensible woman, Tie Wen and Xiao Tan liked her very much.

They never imagined that the little girl who used to play around at their knees was now more powerful than them, these two old men, which brought a sense of nostalgia for the relentless passage of time.

“Qing Er is here, how are Brother Xiao’s injuries?” Upon seeing Mu Qing, Tie Wen and Xiao Tan asked about Xiao Chen’s injuries.

His condition was of great concern to the hearts of thousands in the tribe.

“Brother Xiao’s injuries are not serious.

Qing Er came this time because Brother Xiao has a task that needs Qing Er to relay to the two elders.”

Upon hearing this, Tie Wen and Xiao Tan showed a look of confusion.

“It’s like this, Brother Xiao said that in today’s battle, many brave warriors of our Gu Yuan Tribe fought bravely to the death.

Hence, each tribal soldier can keep three layers of the spoils of war for personal use, and submit seven layers to the tribe.

Meanwhile, the armor of the tribal soldiers who died for the tribe should be returned to their relatives as a memento.

At the same time, three layers of the total spoils of war should be given to the families of the deceased tribal soldiers to comfort the heroic spirits in heaven.

From today onwards, this measure will become a tradition of our Gu Yuan Tribe!”

Mu Qing’s words were not solely addressed to the two elders.

She didn’t avoid other tribe people who were sorting the spoils of war at the scene.

Everyone present heard this decision at that moment and immediately exclaimed in surprise, kneeling towards the stone tower in the center of the tribe.

As a tribe’s collective entity, in the past, all gains from tribe hunting or wars would be handed over to the tribe for unified distribution.

Now that Xiao Chen has changed this rule, it greatly enhanced the enthusiasm of the tribe members.

Aragon and Xiao Tan had no objection to Xiao Chen’s arrangement.

These two old men are dedicated to the development of the tribe, and will do their utmost to promote any measures conducive to the development of the tribe.

They can clearly see the benefits of what Xiao Chen proposed.

This not only comforted the hearts of tribal members who had lost loved ones on the battlefield but also greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the remaining tribal soldiers.

Moreover, these seized financial resources were originally used for tribal development, and now they were just changed to a reward method.

Why not do it?
