Chapter Thirty-Nine The Insect Keeper(1/2)

 Southern Wilderness, Great Everglades, Mosquito Tribe.

The Mosquito Tribe is a small tribe in the Southern Wilderness, with a population of about 500.

Among them, there are more than 80 soldiers above one color and more than 200 ordinary soldiers. The rest are children with weak combat capabilities or no combat capabilities and ordinary tribe members.

The Mosquito Tribe Witch is a thin old woman with no amount of flesh on her arms, only a layer of skin covering her muscles and bones.

Her face, arms, and legs were covered with black totem patterns, and she wore an animal teeth necklace and a large number of bone decorations. She looked mysterious and frightening.

On the shoulder of the mosquito tribe witch, there was a bird-beaked mosquito standing, which was one of the three bird-beaked mosquitoes that escaped from the vine tribe.

She has a mysterious way of communicating directly with the bird beak mosquito, and she learned from the bird beak mosquito what happened in the vine tribe.

She got some scattered information from the beak mosquito: a tribe, huge dragonflies, vines, and everyone was dead.

Through these news, the mosquito tribe witch knew about what happened and summoned important figures in the tribe to discuss what to do next.

After receiving the news, the Mosquito Tribe witch fed a small piece of raw meat to the bird beak mosquito on her shoulder, and her expression was not obvious.

"The hunting team led by Tiger Mosquito, all 50 soldiers were killed by a strange tribe. Let's talk about what should we do?"

There are five hunting teams in the Mosquito tribe, with the largest number of people having seventy or eighty, and the fewest number of people having only twenty or thirty. The hunting team led by Tiger Mosquito is just one of them.

These hunting teams will take the place where the tribe is located as the origin and go to jungles and swamps in different directions to hunt, so as to obtain enough meat for the tribe.

Children with weak strength, women and children are responsible for collecting edible plants near the tribe.

Every few years, when the food available nearby becomes less, they migrate once to ensure that hunter and gathering can obtain enough food.

This time, they had just migrated here and encountered the destruction of a whole hunting team, which made the people of the Mosquito Tribe very angry.

A hunting leader stood up first and shouted angrily: "Find this tribe, kill them all, and avenge their tribe!"

"Yes, kill them all!"

"Snatch all their stuff back!"

...

The mosquito tribe, which did not have the idea of ​​capturing slaves, did not have the idea of ​​capturing slaves even if they were caught, they could not afford to raise them. It would be better to kill them all and grab some practical things back.

Unless the tribe encounters a disaster and many people die, they will find ways to steal some women and children from other tribes to fill the population gap.

"Shut up!"

At this moment, the leader of the Mosquito Tribe roared and suppressed the voices of others.

The four leaders were very awe of the leaders, and they closed their mouths and sat down again.

The leader of the Mosquito tribe is tall and fierce, and has four horizontal lines on his face, which means he is a powerful four-color warrior.

The four-color warrior means that he can hunt the giant-toothed tiger alone and has extremely strong combat power.

As for the five-colored warriors who hunted the barbarian bears alone, it is almost impossible for them to appear in small tribes, at least in medium tribes.

After the leader of the Mosquito tribe suppressed the others, he lowered his voice and looked at the witch.

"Witch, since this strange tribe can kill all the hunting teams led by tiger mosquitoes, even the bird-beak mosquitoes will only come back three, which means that their strength is not weak."

In fact, it is not just not weak. What the leader of the Mosquito tribe wants to say is that this tribe is very strong, at least not weaker than the Mosquito tribe.

Tiger mosquito is a three-color warrior. The bird-beak mosquito is flying very fast, and even ordinary birds cannot catch up with it.

But tiger mosquitoes died, and most of the bird beak mosquitoes were also killed. It is easy to imagine how strong this strange tribe has.

The witch nodded and said, "The leader is right."

The leader of the Mosquito tribe continued: "If we attack this tribe rashly, even if we can fight, we will lose a lot of warriors. What should we do if other tribes come to fight?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the four leaders immediately closed their mouths tighter.

None of them are idiots, real idiots don't live long in dangerous jungles.

I was passionate and yelled to take revenge, but now I wake up and immediately know how stupid my words were.

They are not the only tribe near this swamp.

There are at least two tribes around the mosquito tribe that are not weaker than them, and the distance is not particularly far. They occasionally encounter them during hunting, and some minor frictions have also occurred.

The mosquito tribe witch nodded again and said, "What the leader said is exactly what I am worried about. Our tribe has just migrated here, and we don't know this place as well as other tribes. If we start a war rashly, we will suffer a great loss."

"Witch, can you just forget it?" A leader asked in a low voice, his tone very unwilling.

"Of course I can't just let it go!"

The leader of the Mosquito Tribe said: "But we must first figure out the situation of that tribe, and wait until we gain a foothold here, and then find a chance to take revenge!"

"The leader is right." The mosquito tribe witch agreed with the leader's words.

The witch and the leader's opinions were unified, and things were basically a foregone conclusion. It was hard for others to say anything, so they could only agree.

However, this matter is not over.

When one day the mosquito tribe discovers the truth about the vine tribe, they will definitely fight to avenge Tiger Mosquito and others.

...

Vine Tribe.

A few days after the hunting team of the mosquito tribe wiped out, in order to save their lives, Jiang Xuan and his men set up a large number of traps in the forests around the tribe.

In addition to being an early warning and blocking effect, these traps can also capture some prey and add food to the vine tribe.

Another tunnel was also dug out in a few days with everyone's efforts, and the rest was to widen and deepen.

In the future, Jiang Xuan decided to dig out more authenticity in his free time.

For example, when you have nothing to do in winter, the ground is frozen hard and difficult to dig, but the ground is warmer and dry, making it very suitable for digging tunnels.

These tunnels can not only hide and save lives at critical moments, but can even expand several cellars and can be used to store tuber-like grains in winter.

Jiang Xuan held a torch and walked through the newly dug tunnel. When he encountered a place that was prone to collapse, he would write it down and remind the person who dug the tunnel to reinforce it.

After coming out of the tunnel, Jiang Xuan muttered with a weird look: "A good vine tribe, digging so many tunnels, it almost turned into a bamboo rat tribe..."

However, there is nothing we can do about this, who makes the Vine Tribe so weak?

It’s not very good to be meticulous when you often drill on the tunnel, just save your life.

In the future, when the tribe becomes stronger, there is no need to hide all day long.

Before the tribe is strong, it is better to be a little more vulgar than to be destroyed.

After checking the tunnel, Jiang Xuan walked outside the bamboo house, but found someone digging a hole on the hillside not far from the bamboo house. He walked over curiously.

"What are you busy with?"

This person Jiang Xuan knew. His name was Dajiao. He was a young man in his twenties. He looked ordinary and was usually taciturn. He worked very hard.

Dajiao heard Jiang Xuan's voice and hurriedly turned around and said uneasy: "Captain, I'm not lazy. I just finished my meal and everyone hasn't started working."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. I didn't say you're lazy. I just came over to see what you're doing."

Dajiao felt relieved, pointed to the hole that had been dug half a meter deep, and said, "I want to dig a big hole here."

"What are you doing to dig a hole?"

Big Kok hesitated for a moment, mustered up the courage, and said, "I want to use it to raise insects."

"Raising bugs?"

Jiang Xuan was quite surprised by Dajiao’s statement.

"Yes, I want to raise some big worms that can be eaten. When I come back from work, I will throw some leaves and give them the tender grass."

The more Dajiao spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became a little excited: "I have observed that some insects like wet places, so I plan to dig a big hole and keep these insects in it."

"The bugs are easy to feed, and you don't have to spend a lot of time to care about them. If it goes well, it won't take long before the tribe can eat the bugs I raise."

After hearing Dajiao's words, Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up. This guy's idea is OK!

In fact, what Jiang Xuan always thought was that after the planting was successful, the tribe would have more food and then start the breeding industry.

Because even if you raise a rabbit, you need to eat a lot of plants every day.

Just cutting grass near the tribe can't feed many animals.

Only by carrying out large-scale planting, and then relying on the planted vegetable leaves, rhizomes, etc., which some people do not eat, and the plants on the mountain, can we supply the needs for breeding.

However, Dajiao provided Jiang Xuan with a new idea, which was to raise insects.

The insects eat mixed food and are hungry, which is easy to support.

The most important thing is that the insects in this world are very large, have a lot of meat, and are reproductive at a very fast speed.

If it can be successfully cultivated, the vine tribe will soon have a large number of edible meat insects!

When Jiang Xuan thought of this, he had a bright smile on his face.

"Big Kok, you have a good idea, very good!"

"Really?" Big Kou was still a little nervous when he didn't say anything.

"Of course it's true."
