Under the protection of the Vine tribe warriors, the Frog tribe members took all their belongings and the giant frogs and slowly walked towards the direction of the Vine tribe.
Because the frog tribe members could only walk on foot and walked relatively slowly, the vine tribe warriors could only slow down their mounts.
On the third day, they were stared at by a tribe that had just migrated from the Western Wilderness.
This is a relatively powerful tribe with about three thousand people. The totem god is a big scorpion.
They planned to plunder the warriors of the Vine Tribe and the Frog Tribe together.
"Er, err..."
Before the Scorpion Tribe could get close, they were spotted by Tangyuan hovering in the sky, which made a continuous, sharp chirping sound.
"No, prepare to meet the enemy!"
Jiang Xuan, who was walking at the front of the team, shouted, and everyone immediately went on alert and looked around nervously.
"roar!"
Crescent Moon, which had grown very tall, let out a low roar, and a faint vine tribe totem pattern appeared on its forehead, obviously ready for battle.
"Shashasha..."
There were dense sounds from the surrounding forest, and then, a red scorpion the size of a millstone emerged first.
Immediately afterwards, countless large black, red, or brown scorpions came out, with two large pincers opened, and their highly poisonous tail needles hung upside down, looking indifferently at the people of the Vine Tribe and the Frog Tribe.
"Woooooooo..."
After the big scorpion appeared, thousands of scorpion tribe warriors also appeared.
They made hunting whistling sounds from their mouths, holding various weapons in their hands, and surrounded the people of the Vine Tribe and the Frog Tribe.
"Kakaka..."
A huge black scorpion also appeared. It was twenty to thirty meters long, and its pincers could easily cut off large trees. It exuded terrifying divine power fluctuations.
It is the totem god of the Scorpion tribe.
Among the Scorpion tribe, one person shouted loudly: "Hand over everything, or I will kill you all!"
"Woooooooo..."
The warriors of the Scorpion Tribe all shouted excitedly, and those big scorpions were also eager to kill people.
"Chief, what should I do?"
Everyone was panicking. If only the warriors of the Scorpion Tribe came, they could still kill them directly with the fast speed of the cavalry.
But facing a tribal totem god, it was impossible for them to defeat him.
The members of the Frog Tribe were even more panicked, and Huo Meng even felt a sense of despair. They had traveled such a vast Western Wilderness and traveled such a long distance, but were they going to be exterminated here today?
Huo Meng also walked to Jiang Xuan. Now the only one he can rely on is the Teng tribe.
Compared to other warriors, Jiang Xuan is obviously much calmer.
Because he had long expected that such a situation might occur on the road, and asked Shendou for a life-saving means in advance.
This life-saving method can not only save his own life, but also the lives of everyone accompanying him.
Jiang Xuan raised his right hand high and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, the Vine God is here!"
Everyone looked at Jiang Xuan's right arm and saw an emerald green vine wrapped around his arm. It was not noticeable before, but now it began to glow with green light.
"Buzz!"
The vines untwisted from Jiang Xuan's right arm in circles, then rose above everyone's heads, and became larger and larger, like a green dragon twisting in the air.
At the same time, among the vine tribe far away by the Feiyu River, the divine vines on the stone mountain suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura, making all living creatures in the territory feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
There is a mysterious connection across space between the divine vines on the stone mountain and the vines in the distance.
In the distant forest, the Scorpion tribe warriors who were shouting excitedly saw the sudden appearance of huge vines and realized that things had changed, so they stopped shouting.
"Kakaka..."
Even the giant scorpion god stared at the huge vine and felt a lot of pressure.
"It's the Vine God, the Vine God is protecting us!"
The warriors of the Vine Tribe cheered one after another. After seeing the Totem God, the fear in their hearts disappeared and they became very excited.
"This is the patron saint of the Vine Tribe!"
Huo Meng was also a little excited. The totem god of the Vine tribe looked very powerful and could definitely protect them.
Just then, the vines in the sky moved.
It straightened up instantly, and then fiercely whipped towards the giant scorpion god.
"Crack!"
The speed of the vine was so fast, like a green lightning bolt, that by the time the giant scorpion god could react, he had already been hit.
"Crack, click, click..."
The giant scorpion god was sent flying directly, breaking several large trees, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Fortunately, its shell is hard enough, otherwise it would have been seriously injured.
"Pa bang bang..."
Then, the huge vines twitched wildly, and the large trees broke in half. The giant scorpions and the scorpion tribe warriors were beaten until they howled like ghosts and fled in all directions. How could they still retain the majesty they had just now?
"Kakaka..."
The giant scorpion god got up. After suffering such a big loss, it was very angry. Its huge pincers kept opening and closing, trying to kill all the warriors of the Vine tribe to vent its anger.
However, at this moment, it felt that a terrifying existence was locked in the direction of the Vine Tribe.
As long as it dares to kill someone, that existence will definitely kill it directly.
The Giant Scorpion God looked at the vines in the air, and then at the warriors of the Vine Tribe. Finally, he refrained from taking action, and instead turned around and left.
"Retreat, retreat!"
As soon as the giant scorpion god left, the leader of the scorpion tribe shouted, and the warriors and the giant scorpions fled in panic, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye.
The members of the Frog Tribe, who had been in despair just now, suddenly found that all the enemies had withdrawn, and were at a loss for a moment.
The frog tribe wizard looked up at the huge vine and murmured to himself: "What a powerful patron saint. Maybe Huo Meng's choice is right..."
Witnessing the power of the totem god of the Vine Tribe with his own eyes, the ideas of the Frog Tribe shaman finally changed.
After the people of the Scorpion Tribe retreated, the huge vines in the sky shrank again, and then wrapped around Jiang Xuan's right arm again.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xuan with even more awe, after all, even the totem god was hanging on him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jiang Xuan did not expect that a vine could have such terrifying power.
He realized that after successively devouring the totem gods of several small tribes and a large number of flesh and blood sacrifices, Shen Teng's strength had become unfathomable, far exceeding that of ordinary totem gods of small tribes.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan became more confident.
"keep going!"
Jiang Xuan took the lead and rode forward on Yueya. The warriors of the Vine Tribe and the tribesmen of the Frog Tribe hurriedly followed, leaving only a forest destroyed by the divine vines.
The divine vines far away in the vine tribe also fell silent again, all the light was restrained, and mist enveloped the stone mountain.
During the subsequent journey, Jiang Xuan and others did not encounter any danger. Ten days later, they successfully brought the members of the Frog Tribe outside the tall vine wall of the Vine Tribe.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the territory of the Vine Tribe.
The next step is to settle the frog tribe.
According to the previous agreement, the Frog Tribe can choose a place to live in the forest south of the Vine Tribe.
Of course, this residence cannot be too far away from the Vine Tribe, otherwise it will be difficult to get the protection of the Vine Tribe.
Huo Meng and the Frog Tribe Shaman walked in the forest south of the Vine Tribe for two days, and finally decided to settle in the lower reaches of the Feiyu River, next to the Vine Tribe's territory.
After choosing the location, the frog tribe members immediately started building houses.
Because the Frog Tribe is the first affiliated tribe of the Vine Tribe, Jiang Xuan is more concerned about it.
So a group of soldiers with construction experience were sent over to help them cut down trees and build houses so that they could settle down as soon as possible.
At the same time, Chi Shao also made a trip to the Frog Tribe’s new residence, and used mineral pigments to draw the totem patterns of the Vine Tribe in several conspicuous places outside their residence.
The function of these totem patterns is to declare to other tribes that the Frog Tribe is protected by the Vine Tribe. If you want to do something to the Frog Tribe, you'd better first consider whether you can withstand the anger of the Vine Tribe.
Soon, the Frog Tribe settled in their new settlement with the help of the Vine Tribe.
There are more prey and various edible plants near the new settlement, and the population of the frog tribe is relatively small, so they no longer need to go hungry.
Not only that, they can also go to the trading area of the Vine Tribe and get what they need through trading.
Soon, the members of the Frog Tribe no longer resisted becoming a subordinate tribe, because after their tribe moved here, they gained tangible benefits.
The giant frogs of the Frog Tribe have also regained an environment suitable for their survival. As long as everything develops normally and with the reproductive capabilities of the giant frogs, in less than two years, the Frog Tribe will once again have a large number of giant frogs that can help with hunting and fighting.
…
In March, the weather becomes warmer and warmer, the plants in the forest are growing wildly, and various animals have entered the breeding season.
No matter the tribesmen or tourists, they no longer have to worry about starving to death.
On March 5, a tourist wrapped a special item with some vines and leaves and walked into the trading area of the Vine Tribe.
He walked straight to the shop where grain and salt were traded, carefully looked around, and then placed the things on the table made of giant wood.
Magnolia was in charge of the grain and salt shop. After a period of hard work, she became more and more capable.
Dong Kui looked at the tightly wrapped things on the table and acted relatively calmly, because she had experienced this kind of thing a lot.
Tourists are less courageous and do not have much ability to protect themselves.
So every time they find some items that can be used for trading, they will wrap them tightly like this to prevent others from seeing them and snatching them.
Dong Kui followed Jiang Xuan's request and asked politely: "Hello, can you open it and see what's inside?"
The tourist nodded nervously, looked outside again to make sure no one came in, and then opened the rattan and leaves that wrapped the items layer by layer, revealing a piece of stone about the size of a palm, with circles of beautiful green patterns.
.
These green circular markings are very similar to the patterns on the tail feathers of certain birds, and they are very beautiful.
"How much animal meat can this stone be exchanged for?" The tourist looked at the mallow with expectation.
Dong Kui picked up the stone and observed it carefully for a moment. She thought it was very beautiful, but she had never seen it before, so it was difficult to value it.
It happened that at this time, Jiang Xuan went to inspect the trading area. Dong Kui hurried to the door and invited Jiang Xuan in.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Xuan entered the door, first looked at the tourist, and then looked at Dong Kui.
Dong Kui said: "Chief, there is a stone here. It is quite beautiful. This tourist wants to use it in exchange for animal meat. However, I have never seen this kind of stone before, and I don't know if it is useful."
"Oh? Let me take a look."
Jiang Xuan walked to the table and picked up the beautiful green stone under the nervous gaze of the tourist.
He only glanced at it and couldn't look away.
"Eh? This is...malachite!"
Jiang Xuan was taken aback. He turned the stone over and over several times, feeling a little excited.
"Yes, this is malachite!"
In his previous life, Jiang Xuan bought a relatively large malachite pendant, for which he also learned a lot about malachite.
The color of malachite is similar to the green spots on peacock feathers, so it is called malachite.
Malachite is highly recognizable because its color and pattern are unique and difficult to mistake.
In Jiang Xuan's previous life, malachite was mostly sold as an ornamental gemstone.
But the reason why Jiang Xuan was excited was not because of this.
In fact, the texture of malachite is relatively brittle, so it is not suitable for use as stone tools and can only be used as decoration.
Among primitive tribes, stones that can be used for stone tools are good stones, while stones that can only be used for decoration are not of high value.
Jiang Xuan was excited because malachite is actually a type of copper ore and is often associated with other copper ores!
In other words, as long as the origin of this piece of malachite is found, there is a high probability that other copper ores can be found.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jiang Xuan has long wanted to make copperware, but has never discovered copper mines.
In this current situation, there is no place to look for even if you wear iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all!
The reason why we choose to smelt copper instead of iron is that copper has a much lower melting point and smelting requirements than iron.
For example, the melting point of copper is about 1,000 degrees Celsius, while the melting point of iron is above 1,500 degrees Celsius, far exceeding copper.
The difficulty of making copperware is also much easier than that of ironware.
The conditions of the tribesmen were so simple that Jiang Xuan could only choose simple and easy-to-operate things to do first, and then consider making those complex and more difficult things.
Jiang Xuan grabbed the tourist and asked excitedly: "Where did you find this thing?"
"Let me go. I don't want animal meat anymore. This stone is for you..."
The tourist was startled, then shouted and struggled, apparently thinking that Jiang Xuan wanted to snatch the stone.
Jiang Xuan also realized that he was too excited and caused misunderstandings among tourists.
But if he let this tourist go now, he would run away.
In desperation, Jiang Xuan had to hold him down forcefully and said: "Shut up and listen to me!"
Yu Rong was held down by Jiang Xuan and struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so he could only accept his fate pessimistically.
"Don't worry, our Vine Tribe attaches great importance to credibility and will never steal your things in the trading area."
"I just want to tell you that if you can lead us to find more stones like this, I will not only give you a lot of animal meat, but I will even let you join the Vine Tribe directly, so you don't have to be a tourist anymore!"
Jiang Xuan's words finally moved the tourist.
Becoming a member of the Vine Tribe is a great temptation for tourists, because once they join the Vine Tribe, they no longer have to live a life of wandering and precarious life.
"Is everything you said true?" the tourist asked cautiously.
Jiang Xuan replied affirmatively: "Of course it is true. I am the leader of the Vine Tribe. As long as you lead us to find more stones like this, you can become a member of the Vine Tribe."
The tourist mustered up his courage, looked up at Jiang Xuan, and said, "Okay, I'll take you to find the stone!"
"That's right."
A smile appeared on Jiang Xuan's face. He expected this tourist to bring bigger surprises.
