Chapter 187 The unexpected discovery of glutinous rice balls
In the afternoon, everyone from the Shangui Tribe landed ashore far away from their original place of residence.
They were tired and hungry, and everyone was in a very low mood.
Because they escaped in such a hurry, they didn't have time to take away the tribe's food and various supplies, thus giving the Bird Tribe an advantage in vain.
"Chief, what should we do now?"
The warriors of the Shangui tribe gathered around Shanjia, hoping that Shanjia could come up with an idea.
"All warriors of one color and above will go out to hunt. The ordinary warriors will stay here to build temporary shelters. Let's get through tonight first."
Shanjia waved his hand, and the warriors of the Shangui tribe dragged their tired bodies to hunt because they had no food left with them.
The ordinary soldiers who stayed in place picked up dead trees on the ground and built temporary shelters.
Because they have neither time nor strength to cut down trees anymore.
As time goes by, the sun gradually sets in the west, and under the reflection of the sunset, the ground seems to be covered with a layer of dark red gauze.
Shanjia and Wu were sitting in the temporary shelter that had just been built. They looked at the fire that had just been lit and felt sad.
Their place of residence has been destroyed by the Bird Tribe, and their food supplies are gone. What should they do next?
The last time they were attacked by the Crow Tribe, although they escaped, they were not too panicked because the Turtle God could continue to make sneak attacks, making it impossible for the Crow Tribe to survive.
But the Bird Tribe is different. They are a medium-sized tribe, and the Bird God is far more powerful than that crow.
If the Turtle God goes to make a sneak attack, if he is blocked by the Bird God, he may not be able to come back.
"Wu, where should we go tomorrow?"
The mountain beetle was also confused and even wanted to clean the blood on his face.
Wu pondered for a long time and said: "Didn't you unite the Vine Tribe, the Que Tribe, and the One-Horn Tribe two days ago? Counting the time, it's time for the Vine Tribe to set off."
Shanjia said in shock: "But our Mountain Turtle Tribe has become like this, do we still want to continue to attack the Bird Tribe with them?"
"It is precisely because it has become like this that we have to join them in attacking the Bird Tribe."
Although the witch looks very old, his eyes are still bright and clear. At this critical moment of life and death, he is calmer than the mountain eagle.
"Our Shangui tribe has nothing left. If we move to other places, we will definitely have a very difficult life."
"But if we win this battle, we will not only get back what we lost, but we will even gain more!"
After hearing what the witch said, the mountain armor also reacted.
If they had a choice before, now that they are forced into a desperate situation, they actually have no choice anymore.
Once they escape, the Mountain Turtle Tribe will inevitably weaken or even perish.
Staying to attack the Raptor Tribe may seem dangerous, but it also contains the opportunity to make a quick comeback.
"Wu, I understand!"
The mountain turtle rubbed his face and ordered himself to cheer up, not to be depressed by this blow.
He is the leader of the Mountain Turtle Tribe. If even he becomes depressed, those warriors will only become more desperate.
"I'll go out and see if I can catch some fish or tiger frogs by the water's edge."
The mountain beetle stood up and walked outside with his spear. He first went to a puddle on the edge of the swamp and washed the dried blood on his face and hands with water.
The cool water refreshed him, he cleaned the spear again, and then walked to the edge of the swamp with the last light of the evening, hoping to add some food for his dinner.
…
In the forest, more than 1,500 warriors of the Vine Tribe rode on their mounts and advanced slowly.
They have already walked for a day, and they will reach the mushroom forest after another day of walking.
According to the previously discussed plan, the Vine Tribe, the Bird Tribe, and the One-Horned Tribe will all meet up at the Mountain Turtle Tribe, and then attack the Bird Tribe together.
The Mountain Turtle Tribe is about three days' journey from the Bird Tribe. If you have mounts, the time can be shortened to more than one day.
Considering that the Bird Tribe and the One-Horned Tribe do not have mounts, the Vine Tribe sets out early so that there will be more time.
"I don't know if the Bird Tribe and the One-Horn Tribe have set off."
In front of the team, Jiang Xuan rode Yue Ya to clear the way, envisioning various methods of joint operations in his mind.
A joint battle between multiple tribes is much more complicated than a battle by the Vine tribe on its own.
Because he couldn't be sure how other tribes would behave after the battle started.
For example, when the two sides are fighting, a tribe suddenly runs away, which will have a great impact on the battle situation.
If the Bird Tribe wasn't too powerful, Jiang Xuan wouldn't want to unite with other tribes at all.
After half a day, Jiang Xuan came to a relatively familiar forest. After walking for such a long time, everyone was hungry and tired.
Jiang Xuan asked Yue Ya to look back, and then shouted loudly: "Rest where you are!"
The warriors of the Vine Tribe stopped one after another, got off their mounts, and sat in twos and threes under the big tree, resting and eating the food they had brought.
If they see wild vegetables nearby, they will also pick them. If they can eat them raw, they will eat them. If they cannot eat them raw, they will bring them with them and roast them when the fire is lighted at night.
"Hey..."
The team rested, and Tangyuan also took this opportunity to hover over the nearby forest, hoping to catch a prey and have a full meal.
Because of the arrival of the Vine Tribe army, there was so much noise that the animals in the nearby forest were scared away.
The glutinous rice balls flew around for several times without seeing the target, so they could only fly farther away.
It flew into a very far forest, relied on its strong strength and excellent eyesight to find a big python wrapped around a tree, and quickly swooped down, grabbed the big python, and pulled it up into the sky.
"Hey..."
Tangyuan was very happy. Its favorite food was snakes.
The python's head was pecked through, but the snake's body was still twisting in its claws.
Tangyuan didn't care and flew back with the big python in his hand.
Because it was so happy, it didn't fly in a straight line. It grabbed the big python, left and right, and made a lot of noise.
However, when it was halfway through the flight, its sharp eagle eyes discovered something unusual on the ground.
Tangyuan slowed down its flight speed and approached the ground with abnormal conditions.
Soon, it saw the turtle god who was as huge as a hill, as well as a large number of giant turtles and warriors from the mountain turtle tribe next to the turtle god.
Tang Yuan has been to the Mountain Turtle Tribe many times, so he naturally recognizes these big mountain turtles.
On the ground, the people of the Shangui tribe also saw Tangyuan, and they knew it was Jiang Xuan's mount.
The mountain beetle excitedly waved to the sky and shouted: "We are here!"
However, after waving for a long time, he saw the glutinous rice balls spinning and flying to other places.
"Chief, why did it fly away?"
The mountain turtle tribe warrior next to him asked in confusion.
The mountain armor was also very depressed and said: "How do I know? Leader Xuan doesn't seem to be on its back. Let's keep walking."
The people from the Mountain Turtle Tribe appeared here because they wanted to meet up with the people from the Teng Tribe on the way.
Otherwise, if the people of the Vine Tribe went directly to the former residence of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, they would definitely run into the people of the Bird Tribe.
After the glutinous rice balls flew away, the Mountain Turtle Tribe continued to move forward, and they had to wait to meet up on the only road that the Teng Tribe must pass.
On the other side, Tangyuan grabbed the big python and flew all the way back to the forest where Jiang Xuan and others were resting.
It fell down in the open space, first used its sharp beak to peck the python's skin to pieces, then tore off the snake's meat piece by piece and ate it.
After hastily filling his stomach, Tangyuan waddled up to Jiang Xuan and barked at him a few times.
"Tangyuan, what happened?"
Jiang Xuan lives with Tangyuan day and night and knows it very well. He knows that its behavior means it has something to tell him.
Tangyuan shook its head and motioned Jiang Xuan to get on its back.
Jiang Xuan thought for a while and said to Chi Shao on the side: "Wu, Tangyuan must have discovered a special situation. I will go over with it to have a look first, and you can rest here for a while."
Chi Shao nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Jiang Xuan picked up the bronze war spear and climbed on Tang Yuan's back. Tang Yuan ran to the open space with two long legs, then flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
Not long after, Tangyuan and Jiang Xuan found the Shangui tribe members again.
When Jiang Xuan saw the Turtle God, he thought he had seen it wrong.
"What's going on? Why did the Mountain Turtle Tribe come here?"
With doubts, Jiang Xuan let the glutinous rice balls fall to the ground.
On the ground, the warriors of the Shangui Tribe looked up at the landing glutinous rice balls.
"Chief, that purple fierce bird is here again."
"Hey, there seems to be someone on its back."
After hearing the discussion of the soldiers next to him, the mountain armor hurriedly looked up to the sky.
This time, he saw clearly that there was indeed a person on the dumpling's back.
"Huhu..."
"Boom!"
The dumpling landed near the Shangui tribe, and its wings stirred up a strong wind.
As soon as Jiang Xuan got off Tangyuan's back, he saw Shanjia and dozens of warriors from the Shangui tribe running over.
"Chief Xuan, it's really you!"
After Shanjia saw Jiang Xuan, he had mixed feelings in his heart and his eyes were sore.
Jiang Xuan held the bronze war spear upside down and asked in confusion: "Chief Shanjia, why are you here?"
Hearing Jiang Xuan's question, Shan Jia's eyes turned red and he almost cried.
"Leader Xuan, we...we were attacked by the Bird Tribe..."
Later, Shanjia told Jiang Xuan what happened two days ago.
"So that's it."
Jiang Xuan frowned. Before they could attack the Bird Tribe, the Mountain Turtle Tribe was defeated first. This was really too bad.
"Then what are your plans?" Jiang Xuan asked.
Shanjia gritted his teeth and said: "Leader Xuan, I plan to follow you to continue attacking the Bird Tribe and make the Bird Tribe pay the price!"
Jiang Xuan was quite surprised. He thought that the Shangui tribe had suffered heavy losses and would give up the attack.
However, the Mountain Turtle Tribe chose to continue the attack, which was also a good thing for the Vine Tribe.
"Okay, Chief Shanjia, our warriors from the Vine Tribe will be here soon. When the time comes, we will definitely make the Bird Tribe pay the price!"
Later, Jiang Xuan comforted the mountain armors and asked them to wait in front, and then rode glutinous rice balls back to the place where the Teng tribe warriors were resting.
After returning to the woods, Jiang Xuan told Chi Shao and the leaders about the situation of the Shangui tribe.
Chi Shao said worriedly: "This will make this battle even more difficult."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "That's right, so we can't fight head-on. We must first find a way to consume the Bird Tribe, at least to reduce their strength to about the same as us."
Uncaria asked: "Chief, how can we consume the Bird Tribe?"
"This requires everyone to think of a solution. While there is still time, everyone should think about it carefully."
After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, everyone began to think hard, hoping to think of a way to consume the strength of the Bird Tribe.
"Okay, let's set off first and meet up with the Mountain Turtle Tribe as soon as possible. Think about it as we go."
Jiang Xuan gave the order and the Teng tribe army set off again.
Half a day later, they successfully reunited with the Mountain Turtle tribe.
When the Turtle God saw the Vine God, he immediately ran over and stretched his neck to communicate with the Vine God's soul.
I don’t know what the two totem gods exchanged. Not long after, the vine god actually landed on the turtle god’s back, and its roots were scattered in the gaps on the turtle’s back, as if they had been growing on it for a long time.
Shan Jia and Jiang Xuan looked at each other in confusion, neither of them could understand what the two totem gods were doing.
However, the warriors of the two tribes have a much harmonious relationship.
Not only because they fought side by side twice, but also because the relationship between the totem gods they believed in seemed particularly harmonious.
Jiang Xuan asked Shanjia: "I made an agreement with the Que Tribe and the Dujiao Tribe before to meet at your Shangui Tribe. Now that the Shangui Tribe has been occupied, where should we meet?"
Shan Jia thought for a while and said: "To the west of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, there is a barren mountain. There is little prey there, and few people from the Bird Tribe go there. We can join the Que Tribe and the One-Horn Tribe there."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "Then follow me to find the Que Tribe and the One-Horn Tribe to prevent them from going to the wrong place."
"good!"
Jiang Xuan explained the situation to Chi Shao and others, and asked the coalition forces of the two tribes to march towards the barren mountain.
Later, Jiang Xuan and Shan Jia rode glutinous rice balls together and flew towards the direction of the Que Tribe.
When they flew to the Que Tribe, the warriors of the Que Tribe had already gathered and were about to set off.
After the dumplings landed, Jiang Xuan said to the leader of the Que tribe: "Chief Ye, the Shangui tribe was attacked. The meeting place was changed to the barren mountain to the west of the Shangui tribe."
Ye frowned and said, "Are the soldiers from the Shangui Tribe seriously injured?"
Shanjia then said: "Some tribesmen died, but when the Bird Tribe attacked, the Turtle God protected us and escaped into the swamp. Now we have joined together with the warriors of the Vine Tribe, and our strength is still there."
Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
What he was most worried about was that the Mountain Turtle Tribe would lose its combat effectiveness as a result. Since the Mountain Turtle Tribe's strength was still there, it wouldn't be a big deal to change the meeting place.
"Then let's meet in that barren mountain."
"Okay, we still need to inform the One-Horned Tribe, so let's go first."
Jiang Xuan and Shanjia climbed on Tangyuan's back again, and Tangyuan spread its wings and flew towards the One-horned Tribe.
Ye watched their figures go away, turned around and shouted to the Que tribe warriors who were ready: "Let's go!"
The totem god of the Bird Tribe came out of the giant nest, led many fighting birds, and all the Bird Tribe warriors to the barren mountain to the west of the Shangui Tribe.
When Tangyuan flew to the Dujiao tribe, the people from the Dujiao tribe had already set off. Jiang Xuan and Shan Jia caught up with the Dujiao tribe's team and informed them of the change of meeting place.
After the leader of the One-horned Tribe learned about the situation, he didn't have any objections. Anyway, they hadn't gone very far yet, so meeting at the barren mountain would save them some distance.
After notifying the One-horned Tribe, Jiang Xuan and Shan Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief and flew back on glutinous rice balls.
