Jiang Xuan took Fengcao back to the Teng tribe and brought her to Chishao's house.
Then, he summoned Uncaria, Stone Loach and Nan Xing, but did not summon the other leaders.
In the room, Feng Cao stood by the fire pit, head slightly lowered, a little nervous.
Jiang Xuan first told Feng Cao about buying tourists with food, so that they could understand the situation clearly.
Then, he solemnly said: "Intelligence is very important for a tribe. If we can grasp the various situations of the enemy tribe and their movements, then we can take the initiative and seize the opportunity."
"So, I decided to set up a brand new team called Thorn Vine, which is responsible for gathering intelligence for the tribe."
"The leader of the thorn vines is Wind Grass."
"Because the mission of Thorn Vine is quite special, it cannot be announced to the outside world. Apart from the five of us, no one else can know about it."
"So, Feng Cao, I can only wrong you."
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Feng Cao with apologetic eyes.
Being a leader was originally a very honorable thing among the tribesmen, but now it has to be secretive and cannot openly give her the same status as other leaders. It is really wronging her.
Feng Cao shook his head and said: "Chief, I am not wronged."
Jiang Xuan added: "It's up to you to select the personnel of Fengcao and Thornvine. Whether they are ordinary people in the tribe, warriors, or people outside the tribe, as long as you like them and they are willing to join, you can
Incorporated into the thorn vine.”
The work of collecting intelligence has always been shady, and it will inevitably use many methods, so Jiang Xuan gave Feng Cao the power to choose his own people.
"Uncaria, stone loach, and southern star."
"As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the tribe, you can give Thorn Vine some convenience when necessary."
"Yes, leader."
The three of them agreed one after another.
"Okay, Feng Cao, there is only so much I can give you at the moment. How the Thorn Vine can develop is entirely up to you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, or you may need supplies such as food, just come to me directly."
"Thank you, chief."
After the brief meeting, Uncaria and others left, and Fengcao went to form Thorn Vine with confidence.
Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao were left in the room.
Chi Shao was silent for a moment and said, "Isn't it a little too hasty for you to let Feng Cao pick people randomly within and outside the tribe?"
Jiang Xuan raised his head and said, "Sister, are you worried about loyalty?"
Chi Shao nodded.
"Thorn Vine is different from any of our current teams. It is engaged in the work of collecting intelligence. This work is very important and complex. It requires the use of all available resources or people."
Jiang Xuan explained patiently: "It's just like Feng Cao bribed those tourists. Those tourists are indeed weak, but they have special advantages in gathering information. The people in our tribe do not have this advantage."
"So, I let Feng Cao choose people by herself, and even gave her some power so that she can use benefits to induce people from other tribes to work for us."
After Chi Shao listened, it took a while before she sighed slightly and said, "Xuan, sometimes I find that I can't understand you more and more."
Jiang Xuandao: "Sister, believe me, no matter what I do, it will definitely be for the good of the tribe."
Chi Shao nodded and put away the messy thoughts in his mind.
…
Southern Wilderness, Mountain Turtle Tribe.
"Quack quack..."
A group of fierce birds ran through the forest in the distance. Shanjia, the leader of the mountain turtle tribe, sat on the back of the giant turtle with a sad look on his face.
"Chief, the Bird Tribe is going too far. Our hunting grounds are almost being robbed. If this continues, I'm afraid we will all starve to death."
Next to the giant turtle, a soldier complained to the mountain turtle that they had no retreat.
The mountain turtle took a deep breath and let it out for a long time, trying to use this method to relieve the anxiety in his heart.
"Stop talking nonsense and go hunting first."
Although the hunting grounds in the forest have been robbed, the mountain turtle tribe can barely survive by relying on the large number of mountain turtles to hunt in the swamp.
"Crash..."
One after another, giant turtles entered the water and swam toward the swamp with the warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
The Great Swamp is the last hunting ground of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, and the Bird of Prey Tribe cannot enter.
However, relying on the large swamp, the Mountain Turtle tribe can barely fill their stomachs, and they can't even think about living like before.
Moreover, almost all the nearby small tribes were wiped out by the Bird Tribe. Except for the Vine Tribe, no other tribes traded with them, making life very difficult.
On June 10th, the Bird Tribe tried to enter the Mushroom Forest again.
Starting from the outside, they used arrows, spears, stone knives and other tools to destroy the giant mushrooms one by one, so that the aggressive mushrooms could no longer attack them.
"Quack quack..."
A large group of raptors are running around the outskirts of the mushroom forest. When they find a giant mushroom that is not offensive, they will swarm up and peck the giant mushroom to pieces.
"Kill those useless poisonous mushrooms and pick all the other mushrooms back for me!"
The shaman of the Bird Tribe is a man in his thirties. He has various feathers on his head and clothes made of feathers. He rides a bird of prey and is responsible for commanding outside.
This spring, they discovered this mushroom forest and planned to make it their own.
However, the mushroom forest is not so easy to break into. After the warriors of the Bird Tribe entered, they were attacked by various mushrooms and died quickly.
But the Raptor Tribe did not give up, especially when they knew there were a lot of magic mushrooms inside, they became even more crazy.
Now, they plan to use the stupidest method to clean it in bit by bit from the outside.
As for whether this move would bring disaster to the Mushroom Forest, they didn't care at all.
In the forest not far from the Mushroom Forest, dozens of members of the Mountain Turtle Tribe happened to see this scene. They were so angry that they wanted to rush out and fight with the Bird Tribe.
"Let's go back and tell the witch and the leader!"
The hunting captain was relatively calm. He suppressed his anger, quietly left with the soldiers, and then quickly rushed to the tribe.
After returning to the tribe, they immediately found the shaman and the leader and told them about the Bird Tribe's destruction of the mushroom forest.
"Damn the Bird Tribe, they will destroy the Mushroom Forest!"
After hearing the news, the mountain beetle roared angrily.
Afterwards, he immediately went to find the shaman of the Shangui tribe and discussed countermeasures with the shaman.
"Witch, we can't bear it any longer. The hunting ground has been robbed, the mushroom forest has been destroyed by them, and the deal can't be done. It won't be long before we, even if they don't attack, we won't be able to survive."
The shaman of the Shangui Tribe was sitting by the fire pond, his face very ugly, but he did not speak immediately, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
"witch!"
The mountain armor barked again. He urgently needed the witch to make an idea, even to show his attitude.
After a long time, Wu raised his head. Although his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were bright and his gaze was still breathtaking.
"Chief, we only have two ways now."
"Which two?"
"First, like the otter tribe, migrate to other places to avoid the bird tribe."
"No, no, then won't our mushroom forest be surrendered to the Bird Tribe?"
Shanjia shook his head. It was because of the mushroom forest that the Shanjia tribe could live a good life relying on those magic mushrooms. Without the mushroom forest, it would be very difficult for them to move to other places.
Wu seemed to have guessed what Shanjia would say, and his expression remained very calm.
"The second way is to unite with the Vine Tribe and other surrounding tribes that have not been wiped out to attack the Bird Tribe and destroy them!"
When Wu said these words, his expression finally changed, and his eyes became very sharp.
"Destroy... destroy the Bird Tribe?"
Wu's words made Shanjia stunned. You must know that the Bird Tribe is a powerful medium-sized tribe. Can several small tribes really destroy the medium-sized tribe if they unite?
To be honest, Goblin has no confidence at all.
His most daring idea was just to drive away the Bird Tribe.
Shanjia hesitated for a long time and asked, "Witch, is this really possible?"
The shaman of the Mountain Turtle Tribe said calmly: "The Turtle God said that the patron saint of the Vine Tribe is no weaker than the fierce bird of the Fierce Bird Tribe."
"Wha...what?"
Shanjia was completely shocked. He guessed that the Vine tribe was stronger, but he never thought that the Vine tribe was so strong.
If their totem god is really that strong, doesn't it mean that they are equivalent to a relatively weak medium-sized tribe?
But judging from the two previous battles together, there are not many warriors in the Vine tribe, and their combat effectiveness is not particularly strong. What is going on?
"Witch, did the Turtle God really say that?"
The Shanjia tribe shaman looked up at Shanjia: "Of course."
After getting the affirmative answer, Golin still had an incredible feeling.
The shaman of the Mountain Turtle Tribe continued: "Although the guardian spirit of the Vine Tribe is very strong, we don't know what is going on with the Vine Tribe."
"Let's do this, you immediately take dozens of warriors to the Vine Tribe to find out the situation of the Vine Tribe, and then consider whether to join forces with them to attack the Bird Tribe."
"Okay, I'll go get some help right away."
"Wait a moment!"
Shanjia turned around and asked doubtfully: "Witch, do you have any other instructions?"
The shaman of the Mountain Turtle Tribe slowly took out an ancient tortoise shell and said, "Let me help you divine whether this trip will go well."
Shanjia sat down again and looked at Wu slightly nervously.
The shaman of the Mountain Turtle Tribe grabbed the tortoise shell with his bare hands, stretched it out onto the fire pit, then closed his eyes and began to recite ancient divination witchcraft.
"Shanza ah..."
"Huhuhu..."
As the divination spell sounded, the flames in the fire pit suddenly shot up and enveloped the tortoise shell.
A layer of light green light appeared on the hands of the shaman of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, protecting his hands from being burned by the flames.
"Crack..."
Under the burning of the flames, many cracks soon appeared on the ancient tortoise shell.
After the mountain turtle tribe shaman finished reciting the divination spell, the high flame fell down again. He opened his eyes and took the turtle shell back for closer inspection.
After a while, the Shangui tribe shaman said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Good luck!"
Shanjia was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, witch. I'll take people to the Teng tribe right away."
At noon, Shan Jia summoned more than thirty warriors from the Mountain Turtle Tribe and rode fifteen giant turtles toward the direction of the Vine Tribe.
The Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Vine Tribe have done many transactions. They know where the Vine Tribe is. Jiang Xuan also told them the route to the Vine Tribe and the scenery they will encounter on the way.
…
Southern Wilderness, Frog Tribe.
Since becoming a subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe, the Frog Tribe no longer has to worry about being exterminated. In addition, there is plenty of prey and food here, and life has gradually become easier.
They imitated the vine tribe and dug a pond next to the tribe.
Huo Meng stood by the pond, looking at the big tadpoles swimming in the water, with a long-lost smile on his face.
"When these tadpoles grow up, there will be more giant frogs in our frog tribe."
Afterwards, Huo Meng looked at other parts of the frog tribe.
To the left of the Frog Tribe, not far away is a tall vine wall, which belongs to the territory of the Vine Tribe.
There is a vast forest to the right of the Frog Tribe. Huo Meng is a smart man. When he saw the large-scale planting of the Vine Tribe, he also imitated the Vine Tribe, reclaimed a piece of wasteland, and asked the Vine Tribe for advice on how to plant.
Since they are a subordinate tribe, it is appropriate to give them some benefits.
Jiang Xuan sent two members of the planting team to teach the people of the Frog tribe how to farm. Now the wasteland has been planted with wild vegetables and edible root plants.
In front of the Frog Tribe is the rushing Feiyu River. The Frog Tribe warriors can catch some fish and shrimps by the river with the help of giant swimming frogs.
Behind the Frog tribe, there is also a vast forest. They can hunt in this forest. If they harvest more, they can also take some animal skins, teeth and other things to trade in the Vine tribe's trading area.
In the middle of the Frog Tribe, Huo Meng imitated the practices of the Vine Tribe and built several rows of wooden houses neatly, dug some drainage ditches, and simply built two relatively smooth roads.
Huo Meng stood by the pond, looking at everything in the frog tribe, and felt very comfortable.
He once again confirmed that migrating from the Western Wilderness to the Southern Wilderness was a very correct choice.
"Chief, those rats are here to steal food again!"
In the distance, a frog tribe warrior shouted angrily.
Huo Meng's anger rose instantly, and he strode over there with his spear in hand.
"Damn rats, you come here to steal food every day, I will kill you!"
Since they started growing vegetables, the Frog Tribe's vegetable plot has also seen the same situation that the Vine Tribe encountered, that is, various animals come to eat.
Large animals are nothing, but if they are really coming, the warriors of the frog tribe will be even more excited because they can be caught and eaten.
But those small animals are a real headache.
For example, various small birds will fly over to eat vegetables without paying attention, and when people run over, they will fly away quickly, which is very annoying.
Another example is mice. They are very numerous and small in size. They often sneak up and dig holes easily to eat the tubers or root plants that the frog tribe has worked so hard to grow.
In order to deal with these mice, Huo Meng thought of many ways, such as making traps, digging mouse holes, etc. However, the mice multiplied too fast and were very smart, giving Huo Meng a huge headache.
