In the shipyard, Jiang Xuanzang sent more than two hundred trustworthy soldiers to work together, just to build more ships.
"Ding, ding, ding..."
Jiang Xuan personally wielded the bronze hammer and hammered nails into the wooden ship. His hands were very steady, and the pyramid-shaped bronze nails were driven into the thick wooden boards one by one.
The wooden boat is one of the escape routes prepared by Jiang Xuan for the Teng tribe.
However, he did not build wooden boats to cross the river, but to allow more tribesmen to take wooden boats to go down the river to farther places when necessary.
To deal with other tribes, you may be able to rely on the natural barrier of Feiyu River, but against the Black Snake Tribe, this natural barrier will definitely be ineffective.
Because most snakes can swim, they will cross the water and continue the pursuit.
Therefore, when he had to, Jiang Xuan would let his tribesmen escape by boat. Even if the Black Snake Tribe people pursued them, they would not pursue them too far, because they were still migrating and there were many ordinary tribesmen who needed protection.
"Chief, Fengcao wants to see you."
Just as Jiang Xuan was smashing the nails, a soldier hurried in to report to him.
The shipyard is a confidential place, and no one is allowed to enter except for those who work in the shipyard, as well as Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Jiang Xuan still smashed the last few nails in a hurry, then put down the bronze hammer and walked outside the shipyard.
Feng Cao was waiting anxiously. When he saw Jiang Xuan coming out, he immediately walked over.
"Chief, the Black Snake Tribe has arrived near the Great Swamp."
"So fast?"
Jiang Xuan frowned slightly and said, "How about the Mountain Turtle Tribe?"
"The Mountain Turtle tribe has entered the swamp and taken everything away, leaving only empty houses."
"That's good."
Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they entered the Great Swamp, the Mountain Turtle Tribe would be safe because they were very familiar with the Great Swamp.
"Chief, I rode a big-horned deer back at full speed. Calculating the time, the Black Snake Tribe will be here in two days at most. We need to prepare early."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "We really need to make preparations early. You Thorn Vine should work hard and continue to keep an eye on the Black Snake Tribe's whereabouts."
"yes!"
After Feng Cao delivered the information, he left in a hurry.
Jiang Xuan returned to the tribe's residential area and ordered the trading area to be temporarily closed. No one was allowed to go out at will, and he was fully prepared for war.
All kinds of food and other supplies are packed in bags to ensure that they can be transported in the shortest possible time when the situation is critical.
Shipyards and weapons workshops are working day and night to manufacture more ships and weapons to prepare for war.
Time passed bit by bit, the time interval between thorn vines sending information back became shorter and shorter, and the steps of the Black Snake Tribe were getting closer and closer.
Two days later, the Black Snake Tribe appeared outside the territory of the Vine Tribe!
Although the Mountain Turtle Tribe, the Bird Tribe and the One-Horned Tribe received information from the Vine Tribe in advance, they avoided the Black Snake Tribe.
But these few tribes are not the only ones near the Great Swamp. There are also many small tribes who don't even know that the Black Snake Tribe is coming.
Without exception, these small tribes became food supply points for the Black Snake Tribe, and their fate was very miserable.
However, the Black Snake Tribe's appetite doesn't stop there.
Through questioning, they learned from the small tribe members that the most powerful nearby was the Teng tribe, so they went directly to kill the Teng tribe.
"Hiss..."
Outside Thunder Mountain, a black snake as big as a bucket emerged from the bushes. Its cold eyes looked at the living creatures moving around, and its forked snakes kept swallowing.
Immediately afterwards, more snakes appeared, large and small, with different colors, crawling on the ground or scuttling through the trees. This scene really made people feel scalp numb.
"Woooooooo..."
"Shashasha..."
Immediately afterwards, there was a whistling sound and the sound of dense footsteps from the tribesmen hunting in the forest.
The warriors of the Black Snake Tribe appear!
They were armed with all kinds of weapons, and their faces were painted with a totem pattern composed of black snakes. Some of them had poisonous snakes wrapped around their bodies, which was very eye-catching.
"Go back quickly!"
In the forest not far away, after seeing this scene, the Vine tribe warrior who was in charge of sentry immediately climbed down from the tree, got into the hole in the ground, and ran back quickly.
When they ran out of the hole, they were outside the vine wall.
They hurried to the gate again, then passed through the gate and returned to the Vine Tribe.
Near the gate, Jiang Xuan, Chi Shao and others were already holding weapons, waiting nervously.
A soldier ran up to Jiang Xuan and said breathlessly: "The leader... the leader is here."
Jiang Xuan clenched his bronze war spear and shouted loudly: "Check the weapons and prepare to fight!"
"Crash..."
More than two thousand Teng tribe warriors immediately began to check their weapons and then waited for the battle.
Jiang Xuan said to Chi Shao again: "Please ask the Teng Shen to close the door!"
Chi Shao nodded, closed her eyes and communicated with Teng Shen for a moment.
The divine vines on the stone mountain bloomed with green light, and the vine walls surrounding the vine tribe also moved.
"Kakaka..."
I saw those vines growing rapidly and intertwining with each other, sealing the doors on all sides.
"Get to the outpost!"
Jiang Xuan walked to the vine wall and climbed up the towering sentry tower, followed closely by Chi Shao.
The sentry tower is a high platform built by the vine tribe against the vine wall in order to monitor the surrounding enemies.
In order to see the surrounding situation more clearly, Jiang Xuan even ordered the trees around the gate to be cut down to clear an open space.
After boarding the sentry post, Jiang Xuan saw a huge black snake heading this way in the forest ahead.
This black snake is not crawling close to the ground, but floating above the tree canopy. From a distance, it looks like there is a black snake crawling above a green curtain, which is very conspicuous.
"This should be the totem god of the Black Snake Tribe, so powerful!"
Jiang Xuan looked at the huge black snake and felt tremendous pressure. After all, this was the totem god of the big tribe!
"The Vine God will protect us."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chi Shao also looked a little nervous, but she trusted Shen Teng more than Jiang Xuan, and believed that Shen Teng could protect the Teng tribe as well as before.
"Shashasha..."
In the primeval forest, countless snakes are still moving in the direction of the Vine Tribe.
But at a certain moment, the big snake crawling at the front suddenly stopped, swallowed its scarlet tongue a few times, and stiffened as it felt an extremely unpleasant smell.
That's the smell of snake repellent herbs!
The big snake stopped moving forward. It crawled twice in the same spot, staring ahead, but refused to continue crawling forward.
The same goes for other snakes. When they noticed that there were a lot of snake repellent herbs in front of them, they also stopped and swam around in place, but did not move forward.
The Black Snake tribe warriors who were rushing at the front also stopped one after another. The abnormal behavior of those snakes made them dare not move forward easily.
"What's going on?"
When the leader of the Snake Tribe saw that the charging team had stopped, he rode a big snake to the front of the team and asked the soldiers.
A soldier replied: "Chief, there may be danger ahead, and all the snakes dare not go forward."
The leader of the snake tribe glanced at the snakes spinning in circles, sniffed the unpleasant smell in the air, and said with an ugly face: "It's a snake repellent herb, a lot of snake repellent herb."
The leader of the Snake Tribe was very depressed because this was the first time they had encountered this situation. They had successfully attacked other small tribes before.
The soldier next to him asked: "Chief, what should we do now?"
The leader of the snake tribe said: "Wait until the snake god and the shaman come over."
"yes!"
The snake tribe warriors could only stay where they were and wait for the snake gods and witches from behind to come over.
It didn't take long for the huge snake god to swim ahead. When it smelled the smell of the snake-repellent herbs, it stopped suddenly and stopped crawling forward.
"Buzz!"
On top of the stone mountain, the divine vines bloomed with terrifying divine light, and more than a hundred giant dragonflies flew up one after another, circling around the stone mountain with great momentum.
The vast green divine light enveloped the entire Vine Tribe and covered the snake-repelling herbs around the Vine Tribe.
A miraculous scene occurred.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
I saw those snake-repelling herbs growing crazily, and many snake-repelling herbs even grew as tall as trees.
Not only that, when these snake-repelling herbs grow taller, they will form flower buds together, and then bloom into various flowers.
When all the snake repelling plants bloom together, the smell they emit that is disgusting to snakes suddenly becomes dozens or hundreds of times stronger. Even the warriors in the Vine tribe find it pungent.
"Hiss..."
Those big snakes swallowed a few words, and then their faces turned green and they all fled back.
The warriors of the Black Snake Tribe could not withstand it and kept retreating.
Even the huge black snake felt as if it had eaten a sulfur stone. It turned around and ran back for a while, then turned and stared at the divine vine on the stone mountain.
“It’s so disgusting to grow so many snake repellents!”
On the ground, the witch from the Black Snake Tribe was so angry that he almost cursed.
The current situation is as uncomfortable as seeing a plate of exquisite dishes on a table not far away, but the dishes are covered with flies.
"Wu, what should we do now?"
The leader of the Black Snake tribe also felt disgusted, but he was really unwilling to let the tribe go like this.
The black snake witch raised his head and looked at the huge snake body twisting in the sky, and said: "Don't worry, the snake god has great powers and will definitely find a way."
The leader of the Black Snake Tribe nodded. There is no doubt about the power of the snake god. If they can't solve the problem, it doesn't mean that the snake god can't solve it either.
Above the forest, the big black snake kept swimming back and forth, staring in the direction of the stone mountain, while trying to hold its breath to avoid smelling the disgusting smell.
It stared at Shen Teng for a while, and then decided to test it.
"puff!"
The big black snake sprayed out a black poisonous mist in the direction of the Vine Tribe. Wherever the poisonous mist passed, all the vegetation withered instantly.
"Buzz..."
On the stone mountain, the divine vines became more and more brilliant. Under the divine light, every leaf and flower of the snake-repelling herbs shone brightly, and the poisonous mist could not harm them at all!
In fact, many snake-repelling herbs can not only repel snakes, but also detoxify them. Coupled with the protection of the Vine God, they can survive the poisonous mist of the Snake God.
Seeing that the poisonous mist was ineffective, the big black snake twisted its body, raised its long tail, and then smashed hard in the direction of the Vine Tribe.
"boom!"
The huge snake's tail smashed down to the ground, and the big trees in the forest were smashed in pieces. The sound was extremely terrifying.
However, just when the snake's tail was about to hit the snake-repelling herbs, countless vines suddenly intertwined into a large net, blocking the snake-repelling herbs.
The hard snake tail collided with the soft vine net, but failed to break the tough vine net. The snake tail could only be retracted.
After two unsuccessful attempts, the big black snake became angry. Just when it was about to go berserk, suddenly, the divine vines on the stone mountain gradually floated up, and exuded a terrifying aura.
"Boom!"
Above the sky, suddenly dark clouds gathered and thunder rolled.
The big black snake looked at the sky and then at the divine vine on the stone mountain. Its pupils shrank sharply and it did not dare to attack again.
Because that divine vine seems to be going through a catastrophe!
On the ground, even Jiang Xuan was stunned with shock.
Shen Teng is now a medium-sized tribal totem god. Once he survives the tribulation, won't he become a great god?
But why did it go through the tribulation at this time? Jiang Xuan was very puzzled.
In the Vine Tribe, the old witch stood at the door, looking up at the divine vines above the stone mountain, and then at the increasingly thick dark clouds. He felt very shocked.
"What is the origin of this divine vine? In just a few years, it has transformed from a small tribal totem god to a medium-sized tribal totem god, and now it is going to become a large tribal totem god. How did you do it?"
The old witch couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, and he had never heard of such a thing.
Just then, something even more shocking happened.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the dark clouds gathered to a certain extent, Shen Teng suddenly restrained his terrifying aura, and the divine light also dimmed, floating quietly in the air.
"Rumble..."
The thunder in the sky kept making muffled sounds, but it seemed to lose sight and finally dispersed quickly.
"This... giving up the breakthrough?"
The old witch rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen something wrong.
Is there such an operation?
The totem god of the snake tribe opposite was also puzzled. What on earth did this sacred vine want to do?
However, Shinto has not made a breakthrough, which is good news for it.
"Hiss..."
The snake god flicked its tail and swam quickly towards the divine vine. Although it was disgusted by the smell of snake-repelling herbs, it was not as inaccessible as ordinary snakes.
"Boom!"
When the snake god was about to approach the vine tribe, the divine vine released a terrifying aura again, and the entire plant erupted into thousands of divine lights. Dark clouds gathered in the sky again, and the silver snakes danced wildly.
The snake god was frightened. Once it was pulled into the catastrophe, even if it was a great god, it would be chopped into smoke.
"Whoosh!"
The snake god turned around and ran away, away from the scope of the natural disaster.
However, after it ran away, Shen Teng quickly restrained his aura, the divine power no longer surged, and the dark clouds dispersed again.
"Shen Teng is using thunder to ward off the enemy!"
In the Vine Tribe, the old witch finally understood and could only sigh that the Divine Vine was a good trick, because as long as it moved a little slower, the lightning would strike down, and then it would be necessary to overcome the disaster even if it didn't want to.
This is similar to dancing on the tip of a knife, requiring strong control over one's own divine power.
After several rounds, the snake god apparently understood Shen Teng's strategy. It kept wandering around the Vine tribe, but in the end it did not dare to force it. If Shen Teng pulled it through the disaster, it would be seriously injured even if it didn't die.
"Hiss..."
Finally, the snake god ordered the warriors of the Black Snake tribe to attack.
Although the snakes couldn't get in, the warriors were limited by the snake-repelling medicine, so they could still kill them.
"Kill..."
The more than 6,000 warriors of the Black Snake Tribe all attacked the Teng Tribe with great momentum.
However, when they approached the woods surrounding the Vine Tribe, the sacred vines bloomed with divine light again, and countless vines extended towards the southern forest.
"Tick..."
A vine floated on the top of a big tree and sprinkled a few drops of green divine liquid, which was absorbed by the tree.
Not long after, a pair of eyes suddenly grew on the thick tree trunk and opened suddenly!
Under the inspiration of the divine vine, this big tree turned into a tree man!
