Chapter 13 Reclamation and Farming

 The day after the sacrifice, Jiang Xuan tested his strength in front of the bamboo house.

I saw him holding a large stone in his hands, slowly standing up, and lifting it above his head!

This stone weighs three to four hundred kilograms at least. If it were Jiang Xuan before, he would not be able to move it, let alone hold it, but now he can lift it above his head without shaking his hands.<

/p>

"Boom!"

Jiang Xuan threw the big stone, and a big hole was made in the ground.

Jiang Xuan looked at his hands in great surprise, this is powerful power!

Later, he walked into the bamboo forest to test his speed.

With a "swish" sound, he easily climbed onto a thick bamboo, and jumped back and forth between the bamboos, like an ape, very flexible.

After a while, he landed again and walked to Chi Shao who was standing aside.

"Sister, with my current strength and speed, what kind of warrior can I be?"

When tribesmen in the Southern Wilderness become warriors, they usually draw lines on their faces in five colors to distinguish warriors of different strengths. Warriors of one color are the weakest and warriors of five colors are the strongest.

For example, the Isshiki warrior uses green paint and draws a horizontal line on his face.

For two-color warriors, use green and red to draw two lines on the face; for three-color warriors, use three lines on the face, and so on.

The stronger the strength, the more lines and richer colors are painted on the face.

These lines are also a kind of honor for tribal warriors. People with more lines can get more resources in the tribe and the worship of the tribe.

Jiang Xuan really wants to know how many warriors he can count with his current strength and speed.

Chi Shao said seriously: "Count him as a warrior of one color."

"Talented?" Jiang Xuan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect it to be so low.

Chi Shao nodded and said: "Don't underestimate the one-color warrior. The strongest leader in the deer tribe is only a three-color warrior."

Jiang Xuan asked again: "What about you, sister? What kind of warrior are you now?"

"I am also a warrior of one color."

Chi Shao pointed at Uncaria, Stone Loach and Nan Xing and said: "The five of us are all warriors of the same color."

"That's wrong!" Jiang Xuan asked doubtfully: "Didn't my sister join a hunting team before? I thought she would be much stronger than us."

"I'm not much better than you."

"It is said that when the Deer Tribe was powerful in the past, only those who became a warrior could be qualified to join the hunting team."

"But in recent years, the Deer Tribe has declined. It can't find enough warriors, so the requirements have been lowered and lowered. Later, as long as they are over thirteen years old and have able-bodied tribesmen, they can join the hunting team."

"I only went in last year. I didn't expect that the tribe would be gone after only half a year."

Having said this, Chi Shao's mood was obviously a little low, and Uncaria and others also fell silent. The demise of the Lu tribe was the pain in their hearts.

Jiang Xuandao: "Sister, don't worry, when our Vine Tribe becomes stronger in the future, we will definitely seek revenge from the Crow Tribe!"

"Hmm!"

Chi Shao nodded heavily, and the three teenagers also clenched their fists, with the flame of revenge igniting in their hearts.

Jiang Xuan asked again: "Then how can one become a two-color or even three-color warrior?"

Chi Shao replied: "I heard people in the hunting team say that a one-color warrior only needs to be twice as strong and fast as an ordinary tribesman. If you want to become a two-color warrior, you need to hunt an adult wild boar alone."

"Three-color warriors need to hunt an adult bison alone, and four-color warriors need to hunt a giant toothed tiger alone."

"As for the five-color warrior, you need to hunt a wild bear alone!"

The two-color warrior actually needs to hunt an adult wild boar alone!

Jiang Xuan was shocked by Chi Shao's words.

In other words, a two-color warrior must at least have the strength, speed, reaction ability, and fighting ability to exceed that of an adult wild boar, so that he can hunt an adult wild boar alone.

The wild boar in this world is an extremely dangerous beast. An adult wild boar can weigh more than a thousand kilograms.

Wild boars have sharp tusks, extremely fast running speed, thick fur, and fierce personalities.

Especially when it is injured, it is almost fearless of death, and ordinary beasts will retreat.

Wild boars also like to scratch themselves on pine trees. Their fur is covered with thick pine resin, as if they are wearing soft armor. Ordinary weapons, such as stone spears and bone spears, are difficult to attack unless they pierce the eyes, back yard and other vital organs.

It causes fatal damage.

You can imagine how difficult it is to hunt an adult wild boar alone.

As for the bison, giant tooth tiger, and wild bear, each one is more terrifying than the last. The current Vine tribe does not have the ability to hunt them.

"Then how can we improve our strength?" Jiang Xuan asked again.

"Training, hunting, and eating more meat can slowly improve your strength. However, I heard that if you can eat the meat of some exotic animals or the fruits of some strange plants, your strength can be improved faster."

"Also, like yesterday, receiving gifts from gods during sacrifices can also quickly increase your strength."

Jiang Xuan kept in mind what Chi Shao said, especially about the methods to improve his strength.

Jiang Xuan knows very well that the stronger you are, the longer you have the chance to live in this dangerous world, and the longer you live, the more time you have to develop and grow the Vine Tribe.

After figuring this out, Jiang Xuan started busy with other things.

It is spring at this time, which is a good time for spring plowing!

Jiang Xuan plans to open up a piece of wasteland in front of the bamboo house to try to grow food and vegetables.

Planting and breeding are more stable and more effective ways to obtain food than hunting and gathering.

Jiang Xuan plans to start with farming. If everything goes well, he will develop breeding in the future to increase the tribe's food source.

Jiang Xuan went back to the house, picked up the bones, called Chi Shao and others, and walked to an open space in front of the bamboo forest.

Jiang Xuandao: "Knock down all these weeds and burn them all later."

"Okay, leader, it's up to us."

The three young men have just become Isshiki warriors and are looking for opportunities to show off. They are not afraid of hard work at all.

They waved the bones with great force, sweeping up all the dry weeds in the open space, beating and stamping them all, and pressed them all to the ground.

Later, under Jiang Xuan's command, they shoveled out a fire break around the area to prevent it from igniting other areas when burning weeds.

Finally, Jiang Xuan went back to the bamboo house to get a burning firewood and lit the weeds on fire.

"Crack, crackle, crackle..."

The flames burned quickly because the weeds were pressed to the ground, fire breaks were laid out in advance, and there was no strong wind. As long as you watched carefully, they would not burn to other places.

"Chief, why are you burning these weeds?" Uncaria asked curiously.

Jiang Xuan replied: "Open up wasteland and cultivate land."

"Oh, I understand."

Tribal people also farm, but they are still in the most primitive slash-and-burn stage.

They will choose a large area, burn the grass and trees, then use the grass and tree ash as fertilizer, dig a hole with a razor blade or other tools, bury the seeds, and then basically ignore it, waiting until autumn to mature before harvesting.

The yield of this kind of planting method is appallingly low, but the advantage is that it doesn’t take much time and effort. After all, the majority of tribal people’s food sources are hunting and gathering.

Uncaria and the others thought that Jiang Xuan also wanted to use this method to farm the land. However, they soon realized that they were wrong.

Half an hour later, all the weeds and small shrubs in the open space were burned away, and there was a thick layer of plant ash on the ground.

This vacant land covers an area of ​​about one hundred square meters, neither big nor small. Jiang Xuan plans to open it up and plant edible wild or tuber plants.

"Chi..."

Jiang Xuan stepped on the crossbar, easily stepped the old shovel into the soil, turned over a piece of soil, and then continued to dig the next piece of soil.

Uncaria couldn't help but asked again: "Chief, after burning, can't you just dig a small hole and bury the seeds?"

Jiang Xuandao: "Turn over the soil to loosen it, so that the things we plant will grow better and yield more."

Uncaria also wanted to ask why loosening the soil could make the things he planted grow better. The red peony root on the side glared at him and said: "There are so many problems, just do what the leader says."

"Oh..."

Uncaria immediately shut up. Red peony root was too strong, and the three teenagers were a little afraid of red peony root.

Shi Loach and Nan Xing also shrank their necks and followed the land reclamation obediently.

The soil in the wasteland is very tight, and there are many grass roots, tree roots, and stones. The bones in their hands are not sharp enough, so it is very hard to do this kind of work.

Fortunately, the tribesmen were relatively strong to begin with, and these five people had just become Isse warriors, so their strength was much greater than that of ordinary people, so the speed of clearing wasteland was quite acceptable.

Half a day later, with the efforts of five people, this piece of wasteland of about 100 square meters was finally opened up.

The grass roots, tree roots, and stones in the wasteland were all cleaned up and piled in the open space aside.

Jiang Xuan looked at the newly opened farmland and felt that some instincts hidden deep in his mind were awakened.

He said excitedly: "This is the first piece of cultivated land for our Vine Tribe, and there will be second, third, and even countless pieces in the future!"

Chi Shao and the three teenagers were not so excited, because in their impression, the harvest from farming was too little, and it was not as good as hunting and gathering.

Jiang Xuan didn't care. When crops are planted on this land and a bumper harvest is achieved, they will know the benefits of farming.
