In the Western Wilderness, the Great Rift Valley continues to divide.
"Rumble..."
As the ground continued to split, almost all the animals along the way fled, and terrifying boulders continued to fall into the bottomless rift valley.
Disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and climate abnormalities are like heavy clouds that have long shrouded the land of the Western Wilderness.
Various disasters and extreme weather have made the living environment in the Western Wilderness extremely harsh. Coupled with large-scale land desertification, it is even more difficult to survive in such a place.
Under such circumstances, tribes that were originally reluctant to leave their homeland were forced to embark on a migration path in order to survive.
Among them are some large tribes that were still gritting their teeth before.
The migration of large tribes is more troublesome than that of small tribes, because they have a larger population and consume more resources. There is almost no possibility of peaceful migration.
Once they embark on the migration path, it means grabbing a large enough territory in other places.
The question is, how much space is there that can accommodate large tribes? Will the indigenous people agree?
…
Southern Wasteland, Vine Tribe.
A glowing vine bridge extends from the stone mountain to Feiyu River.
"Crash..."
One after another giant water flies appeared, they rushed out of the water, and then climbed up along the vine bridge.
The annual introduction ceremony has begun again.
In a few days, these giant waterhoppers will turn into giant dragonflies, catching bugs for the Vine Tribe and fighting for the Vine Tribe as they did in previous years.
"There are a lot more giant water flies this year than in previous years."
Jiang Xuan looked at the giant water clovers on the vine bridge. He didn't need to count them carefully to feel that there were obviously more than in previous years.
After all the water flies climbed up, the red peony root on the side said: "There are one hundred and eight in total."
Jiang Xuan sighed: "One hundred and eight giant dragonflies? Nearly twice as many as last year!"
Giant dragonflies metamorphose at different times and in different numbers every day, and there are especially many of them this year.
Perhaps it is because after the Vine Tribe settled here, they caught a lot of big fish, which reduced competition from giant waterhoppers in the Feiyu River and improved their survival rate.
"Buzz..."
After all the giant water flies climbed up, the vine bridge began to retract until it re-wrapped around the huge stone mountain.
Those giant water flies just lay on the vines. After finding their respective positions, they stopped moving, as if they were petrified.
The fog covered the stone mountain again, making it difficult to see the true appearance of Shen Teng.
"Okay, let's go back to work."
Jiang Xuan shouted, and the tribesmen watching by the Feiyu River dispersed, walking in twos and threes to where they were working, while excitedly discussing the giant dragonfly.
Jiang Xuan also returned to his house.
Summer has arrived, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. After being outside in the sun for so long, I am already sweating profusely.
"Eat some kimchi to relieve the heat."
Jiang Xuan thought of the snow-water kimchi he made last winter, and his saliva secretion speeded up unknowingly.
Last winter, Jiang Xuan made two jars of kimchi with snow water. He had already shared one jar with Chi Shao and others, and there was another jar that Jiang Xuan was reluctant to eat.
The heat is unbearable right now, so eating some sour pickles can help relieve the heat.
Jiang Xuan washed a long-handled spoon, then walked to the corner of the room with a pottery bowl, opened the lid of the kimchi jar, and a refreshing sour smell suddenly hit his nostrils.
Jiang Xuan scooped half a bowl of kimchi from the jar with a long-handled spoon, and then put the lid back on the jar.
He returned to the table, put the earthenware bowl and spoon on the table, and picked up a pair of chopsticks.
In the pottery bowl, the beans, colored peppers, radishes, etc. all showed a golden color, which was very beautiful.
Jiang Xuan picked up a string bean with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He felt a sour taste that hit Tianling Gai. The sourness can only be experienced after eating it.
In fact, these vegetables are not the same variety as the beans, radishes and other vegetables that Jiang Xuan had seen in his previous life, but they just look a bit similar.
But the sour and refreshing taste after they are made into kimchi is similar.
Jiang Xuan ate half a bowl of kimchi and felt his teeth softened: "It's so sour. It must have been soaked for too long."
The taste of kimchi is best when it is just soaked. It is not particularly sour and has a very crisp and delicious bite.
Jiang Xuan's jar of kimchi has been soaked for more than half a year. It is too sour and not crispy enough to taste. It is too soft.
After eating kimchi, Jiang Xuan cleaned the pottery bowl, chopsticks, and spoons, and then went to work in the yard.
He grows a lot of vegetables in the yard, and often needs to do some work such as weeding, fertilizing, and cultivating soil.
He carried the hoe, walked to the yard, and patiently weeded the vegetables.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong."
"Who?"
"Leader, it's me, Feng Cao."
Jiang Xuan looked around and saw that Tang Yuan, who was usually responsible for opening the door, was not there, and Yue Ya had gone out to eat, so he had to put down his hoe and go to open the door himself.
"Squeak..."
The courtyard door opened, and Feng Cao hurriedly walked in, with a very serious face and anxiety in his eyes.
"Fengcao, what happened?"
"Chief, there is a large tribe in the Western Wilderness that is migrating here, and many small tribes have been wiped out along the way."
After listening to Feng Cao's words, Jiang Xuan's expression changed and he said, "Is the news accurate? Is it really a big tribe?"
"It's absolutely accurate, because some tourists from the exterminated tribes have already fled to our area."
"That would be troublesome." Jiang Xuan frowned.
A large tribe has a population of at least 10,000 and is very powerful in combat.
The most important thing is that every totem god of a large tribe is a very terrifying existence.
They can stand out from numerous small and medium-sized tribes and gradually grow into totem gods of large tribes. Their strength is definitely beyond doubt.
The Vine tribe, combined with other allied tribes, can defeat the medium-sized tribe, but can it defeat the large tribe?
Jiang Xuan didn't feel confident at all, and was even a little panicked.
"Find out which big tribe in the Western Wilderness it is?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "According to those tourists, this tribe raised a large number of snakes. I asked the tribes who migrated to the Western Wilderness and found out about the large number of snakes raised in the Western Wilderness.
There is only one tribe, and that is the Black Snake Tribe."
"The Black Snake Tribe...is this tribe very powerful?"
Feng Cao said with a very serious face: "According to the people from the Xihuang tribe, the Black Snake tribe is very powerful."
"Trouble..."
Jiang Xuan closed his eyes. He originally thought that after dealing with the Bird Tribe, he would be able to develop stably for at least a while. Unexpectedly, another more powerful tribe came.
After a long time, Jiang Xuan opened his eyes again and said: "Let's go find out more information and try to find out the situation of the Black Snake Tribe as clearly as possible."
"yes!"
Feng Cao retreated, and she wanted to lead Thorn Vine to continue to inquire for information.
Jiang Xuan stood in the yard for a while, picked up the hoe and continued weeding, but after working for a while he felt distracted, so he simply put the hoe aside temporarily.
He sat by the pool. The ice lotus root in the pool had grown two disc-shaped leaves, with a few water droplets rolling along with the water waves from time to time.
Jiang Xuan stared at the lotus leaves on the water for a moment and said to himself: "Lotus leaves, frogs, frog tribe!"
"Yes, why did I forget about the Frog Tribe? They should know more about the situation in the Western Wilderness."
Jiang Xuan immediately stood up, washed his hands, and then headed to the Frog Tribe.
He left the vine wall, rejected the suggestion of the guardsmen to follow him, and headed to the Frog Tribe alone.
The Frog Tribe is not far from the Vine Tribe. Go out from the south gate of the vine wall and walk southeast for a while.
Because he is quite busy during this period, Jiang Xuan has not been to the Frog Tribe for a long time, although the distance is not far.
Today, after he walked into the territory of the Frog Tribe, he obviously discovered many changes.
First of all, the number of houses in the Frog Tribe has increased a lot, which can be clearly seen at a glance.
Secondly, the Frog tribe began to dig ponds and open up wasteland, imitating the practices of the Teng tribe.
Finally, there are the number of giant frogs.
When they first migrated here, there were only twenty or thirty giant frogs left in the frog tribe, which was very pitiful.
But just over a year later, Jiang Xuan was surprised to find that the territory of the frog tribe was full of half-sized giant frogs, and there were a lot of them.
"The reproductive ability of frogs is really strong!"
Jiang Xuan was very moved when he saw the giant frogs jumping around.
At this rate, within a few years, the giant frog population of the Frog Tribe will recover and even exceed the number when they lived in the Western Wilderness.
Because the Southern Wilderness is obviously more suitable for these giant frogs to survive than the increasingly arid Western Wilderness.
However, Jiang Xuan was not in the mood to carefully observe the changes in the Frog Tribe today. He took a casual look and then went straight into the Frog Tribe's residential area to find Huo Meng.
The warriors of the Frog Tribe all knew Jiang Xuan, so when they found out about Jiang Xuan's arrival, someone immediately went to the tribe to report the news.
After a while, the frog tribe shaman, surrounded by a group of frog tribe warriors, came out to greet Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan exchanged polite words with Wu, and then was welcomed into the best wooden house in the tribe.
"Isn't Leader Huo Meng in the tribe?" Jiang Xuan asked.
"Chief Huo Meng took the soldiers of the hunting team out for hunting. If Chief Xuan wants to find him, he may have to wait until he comes back to find him."
"Since Chief Huo Meng has gone hunting, the same goes for hunting for witches."
"If you have anything to do, Chief Xuan, just give me your instructions."
"Do you know the Black Snake Tribe?"
When Jiang Xuan said the words "Black Snake Tribe", he clearly saw the frog tribe shaman tremble all over and his expression became unnatural.
"Of course I know. The Black Snake Tribe is one of the big tribes in the Western Wilderness. Who doesn't know that?"
When the frog tribe shaman said this, his tone was a little mocking and helpless.
Jiang Xuan was keenly aware of the changes in his expression and tone, so he asked: "Does your Frog Tribe have a grudge against the Black Snake Tribe?"
The Frog Tribe Witch was silent for a long time before nodding: "There is indeed a grudge. If it weren't for the Black Snake Tribe, the Frog God wouldn't be so quick..."
Although the frog tribe shaman didn't finish speaking, Jiang Xuan already understood what he meant.
Snakes have a wide range of diets, and frogs are one of them.
Jiang Xuan believed that the Frog Tribe must have been bullied by the Black Snake Tribe when they were in the Western Wilderness, and the bullying was quite severe, otherwise the Frog Tribe witches would not be so hostile to the Black Snake Tribe.
Jiang Xuan said seriously: "If the Frog Tribe has a grudge against them, then you must be careful."
"What do you mean?" The frog tribe wizard looked at Jiang Xuan.
"The Black Snake Tribe is migrating here."
"What?"
The Frog Tribe was confused, and then said angrily: "It took us so long, so many people died, and we finally moved to the Southern Wilderness. How come the ghosts of the Black Snake Tribe are still there!"
Jiang Xuandao: "It's useless to talk about this now. Please tell me the situation of the Black Snake Tribe in detail, and we will find a solution together."
The frog tribe shaman nodded helplessly, and then gave Jiang Xuan a detailed introduction to the Black Snake tribe.
The Black Snake Tribe is one of the major tribes in the Western Wilderness. It lives in the hinterland of the Western Wilderness, has a population of more than 10,000, and occupies a very vast territory.
Although the Black Snake Tribe has also mastered some technologies for growing fruit trees, food, and domesticating wild beasts, the technology is very primitive and the yield is extremely low.
They had to rely on hunting and gathering, as well as plundering, to maintain the tribe's consumption of food, clothing, weapons and other resources.
Moreover, the living habits of most snakes do not require water all the time like giant frogs, but they also prefer a moist environment.
When the hinterland of the Western Wilderness became dry and rainless, and the land became desertified, the snakes, like the giant frogs, could not stand such an environment.
Because of this, the Black Snake tribe can only migrate to the southern wilderness, otherwise it will face the threat of large-scale famine and water shortage.
After listening to the introduction by the shaman of the Frog Tribe, Jiang Xuan asked again: "What are the warriors of the Black Snake Tribe good at? Do they have any special abilities?"
The frog tribe shaman thought for a while and said: "The black snake tribe warriors are good at using poison and ambushes. They are very powerful."
"Our frog tribe usually quenches poison on our weapons and uses blow darts, but the black snake tribe can directly release venomous snakes to bite people, making it impossible to prevent them."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Also, the Black Snake Tribe can move at night. The Snake Tribe's totem god has given them night vision and agility, and they are very fast when fighting."
"You mean, the totem god of the Snake Tribe can bestow special abilities on warriors?"
The shaman of the frog tribe nodded and said: "Yes, each totem god of the big tribe can bestow one or several special abilities on the warriors. This is in the animal skin scroll I left behind in the third generation shaman of the frog tribe.
Seen.”
"No wonder the big tribe is so strong, it turns out to be like this."
Jiang Xuan suddenly realized.
In every tribe that has a totem god, the witch will get part of the totem god's abilities. For example, red peony root gives her the ability to make plants grow quickly, wither and regenerate.
But every warrior can obtain the ability of the totem god, which is terrifying. It is equivalent to the entire tribe, and all warriors have been collectively strengthened.
Neither the totem gods of small tribes nor medium-sized tribes could do this. Before this, Jiang Xuan had never even heard of such a thing.
From this point of view, the Black Snake Tribe is much stronger than Jiang Xuan imagined. This is a very bad thing for the Vine Tribe, the Frog Tribe, and all the tribes in the places where the Black Snake Tribe passes.
"So, it is almost impossible for us to defeat the Black Snake Tribe?"
The Frog Tribe Wu looked at Jiang Xuan in astonishment and said, "Leader Xuan, you actually want to defeat the Black Snake Tribe?"
"Is there a problem? If the Black Snake tribe wants to rob us, we can't just sit back and wait for death, right?"
"No... no problem..."
The Frog Tribe Witch stopped talking. Whether it was Huo Meng or Jiang Xuan, their ideas were too crazy and completely irrational in the eyes of the Frog Tribe Witch.
