In Jiang Xuan's yard, Shanjia saw the huge glutinous rice balls and crescent moon, and felt great pressure.
These two are truly ferocious beasts.
In terms of combat effectiveness alone, two mountain beetles tied together would definitely not be able to defeat them.
"Chief Shanjia, come in!"
In the house, Jiang Xuan put the burning firewood under two pottery cauldrons. One stewed meat and vegetables, and the other boiled red crystal rice without the shell.
Then, he took out a lot of dried fruits and dried meats and placed them on the table, which was very rich.
"Coming."
The mountain beetle stopped looking at Jiang Xuan's yard, walked into the house, and sat on a big stool made of tree stumps.
Jiang Xuan greeted: "Are you hungry? Come on, let's eat some dried meat first, and I'll give you a taste of our Vine tribe's delicacies later."
Jiang Xuan stuffed two pieces of dried meat into the golin. The golin was not polite and put it directly into his mouth, bit a piece, and chewed it slowly.
The dried meat in Jiang Xuan's house is marinated with salt and spices for a day, then hung above the fire pit, wrapped in a wide leaf, and slowly smoked and dried.
Not only is it salty and delicious, but its appearance is also clean. Unlike other tribes, not only does it have no salt, but it also has a dark appearance and needs to be washed before eating.
The golin's eyes lit up after just chewing a few times. While chewing, he praised vaguely: "It's delicious!"
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "If it tastes good, eat more. It doesn't matter."
The tribesmen have very good teeth. It didn't take long for the mountain turtle to eat most of a piece of dried meat. He then took the pottery bowl handed over by Jiang Xuan and took a big sip of tea.
There are several bags of "tea" in Jiang Xuan's house, but they are not filled with tea leaves, but with leaves of a kind of herbal medicine.
After the leaves of this herb are dried and then soaked in hot water, they will emit a very fragrant smell. After drinking, there will be a sweet taste.
After Jiang Xuan discovered this property, he asked red peony root again and determined that the water soaked in the leaves was good for people, so he used it as tea.
After drinking the tea, the mountain beetle was full of praise.
After eating an entire piece of dried meat and drinking a large bowl of tea, the goblin finally relieved its hunger.
It's time to get down to business.
Shanjia said seriously: "Chief Xuan, I came to your Teng tribe this time because I have a very important matter to discuss with you."
"Chief Shanjia, please speak."
Shanjia organized his words in his mind, and then asked: "Chief Xuan, do you know about the Bird Tribe?"
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "I know, you told me before that the Otter tribe was driven away by the Bird tribe."
Shanjia nodded and said: "Yes, the Bird Tribe is a medium-sized tribe. As soon as they arrived, the Otter Tribe quickly moved to other places."
"But now it's not just the Otter tribe, there are several small tribes near the Great Swamp, and they have all been wiped out by the Bird tribe."
"Even the hunting grounds of our Mountain Turtle Tribe have been snatched away by them. If we hadn't been able to hunt in the swamp, all the members of our Mountain Turtle Tribe would have starved to death."
Jiang Xuan's expression became solemn. If the Mountain Turtle Tribe really couldn't survive, they would probably migrate like the Otter Tribe, or be wiped out by the Bird Tribe.
This is a situation that the Vine Tribe absolutely does not want to see.
Because the Mountain Turtle Tribe is only about three days away from the Vine Tribe, once the Mountain Turtle Tribe is gone, with the expansion speed of the Bird Tribe, they will soon target the Vine Tribe.
A medium-sized tribe, with a population of more than 5,000, needs a very large territory to support itself due to extremely backward planting and breeding technology.
What's more, the territory currently occupied by the Raptor Tribe is mostly steep mountains and hills, and the environment is relatively harsh.
Unlike the Mountain Turtle Tribe, they can enter the swamps for hunting, so they can only continue to expand their territory to feed their large number of tribesmen.
Jiang Xuan had no doubt that once the Vine Tribe was targeted with such a fat piece of meat, the Bird Tribe would definitely pounce on it and take a bite, or even swallow it whole.
In fact, Jiang Xuan had already noticed the Bird Tribe.
Because there are many tourists around the Vine Tribe, their previous tribe was wiped out by the Bird Tribe.
After the intelligence organization Thorn Vine was established, Feng Cao bribed many tourists and obtained a lot of information about the Bird Tribe from their mouths.
Even if the mountain armor didn't come today, Jiang Xuan had already become more vigilant towards the Bird Tribe.
"You just said that almost all of your hunting grounds were taken away by the Bird of Prey tribe. What about the Mushroom Forest?"
As soon as the mushroom forest was mentioned, the mountain beetle's face suddenly turned uglier.
"The Mushroom Forest has also been robbed by the Bird Tribe, but they won't be able to pick useful mushrooms in it for a while."
"But... when I came, those damn birds were already wreaking havoc on the mushroom forest. If they are allowed to continue their destruction, it won't take long for the mushroom forest to be destroyed."
Having said this, the mountain beetle clenched its fists and gritted its teeth.
The mushroom forest is the most important resource of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
With the Mushroom Forest, the Mountain Turtle Tribe can use various magical mushrooms to trade with other tribes in exchange for a large amount of materials.
But if the mushroom forest is lost, the advantages of the Mountain Turtle tribe will be gone. From now on, they can only survive by hunting and gathering like other tribes.
Jiang Xuan asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Shanjia looked at Jiang Xuan and said seriously: "When we came here, our shaman said that the Shangui Tribe could join forces with the Vine Tribe to destroy this damn Bird Tribe!"
"Destroy the Bird Tribe?" Jiang Xuan looked at Shanjia in surprise.
"That's right, just like when we joined forces to destroy the Crow Tribe and the Jackal Tribe."
"But the Bird Tribe is a medium-sized tribe, much more powerful than the Crow Tribe and Jackal Tribe."
Shanjia asked tentatively: "Chief Xuan, isn't your Teng tribe also a medium-sized tribe?"
"No, no, no, Chief Shanjia, you think too highly of us."
Jiang Xuan waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Our Vine Tribe is just a small tribe, and we are still far from a medium-sized tribe."
"Leader Xuan, please don't hide it from me. The Turtle God said that your Vine God is no weaker than that fierce bird. Let me tell you, even the fierce bird tribe is not as powerful as you."
Shanjia had an expression that said, "I've seen through you a long time ago." Apparently he felt that he was too modest to meet Jiang Xuan.
"Chief Shanjia, our Vine Gods may indeed be stronger, but our Vine Tribe has only been established a few years ago, and there are not many warriors in the tribe. The gap between us and the medium-sized tribe is too big."
Jiang Xuandu said this, and Shanjia cannot forcefully attach the title of "medium-sized tribe" to the Vine tribe.
He said helplessly: "Chief Xuan, regardless of whether your Vine Tribe is a medium-sized tribe or not, I hope you can think carefully about attacking the Bird Tribe. The sooner this scourge can be eliminated, the better."
At this time, the food in the two pottery cauldrons in the fire pit was almost cooked, and the aroma of the food came.
Jiang Xuandao: "Come on, leader of Shanjia, let's fill our stomachs first. Today I specially cooked red crystal rice. You can't get such good food elsewhere!"
Although Shanjia was very anxious, Jiang Xuan had said so, so he could only endure it and eat with Jiang Xuan first.
Jiang Xuan first removed the firewood from under the pottery tripod, then took out a pottery basin and filled it with two pots of meat and vegetables. He also took out two large pottery bowls and filled a bowl of red crystal rice for himself and the mountain goat.
After being cooked, the red crystal rice, which is as big as red dates, is plump and exudes an alluring aroma.
Jiang Xuan thoughtfully brought a pair of chopsticks and a spoon to Shanjia, while he only took a pair of chopsticks.
"Leader Gogo, don't be polite, eat."
After saying that, Jiang Xuan picked up his chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of meat, put them on top of the red crystal rice, and ate them with the red crystal rice. It was so delicious.
Although Shanjia was not in a good mood, the food cooked by Jiang Xuan was indeed tempting. He also imitated Jiang Xuan and picked up the chopsticks, but after picking it up several times, he could not pick up a piece of meat.
"Chief Goblin, use a spoon. It's easy to scoop it up."
At Jiang Xuan's reminder, Shanjia gave up the chopsticks and scooped out the meat and rice with a spoon, which really made it much easier.
After the mountain turtle took a few mouthfuls of rice and meat, he felt that except for mushroom barbecue, he had never eaten such delicious food.
“So delicious.”
The mountain beetle sighed in admiration, then put aside those troubles for the time being and concentrated on eating.
Both are powerful warriors with great strength and large appetites.
They ate bowl after bowl, and soon they had wiped out all the food in the two pottery cauldrons, not even the soup was left.
"belch……"
After putting down the pottery bowl, Shan Jia burped and then glanced at Jiang Xuan sheepishly.
Jiang Xuan also touched his belly and said, "Chief Shanjia, is the red crystal rice from our Teng tribe delicious?"
“Delicious, so delicious.”
