In the middle of the night on the fourth day of August, Jiang Xuan had just laid down when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Leader, it's me, Feng Cao."
"Wait a minute."
When Jiang Xuan heard Feng Cao's voice, he knew that she must be in a hurry, so he immediately put on his clothes and shoes and opened the door.
Outside the house, Feng Cao held a torch and looked very anxious.
"Chief, the Wild Boar Tribe is here. It has already arrived outside the Wild Boar Mountain. It is coming in a menacing manner. It is obviously coming towards our Vine Tribe."
"It came so quickly!"
Jiang Xuan's face became serious. He had long known that the wild boar tribe, including several nearby small tribes, were ready to attack, but he did not expect that the wild boar tribe would attack so quickly.
"Chief, what should we do now?"
Feng Cao was a little panicked. As the leader of Thorn Vine, she knew much more information than ordinary tribesmen.
Because of this, she knew that the situation of the Vine Tribe was very dangerous, and if you were not careful, you might be in doom.
"Don't panic. I'll ask Tangyuan to go with you. Keep an eye on the movements of the wild boar tribe. I'll make arrangements for the tribe."
"Yes!"
Jiang Xuan walked out of the door, walked to the giant bird's nest of glutinous rice balls, and said a few words to it.
Tangyuan has a very high IQ. After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, he nodded, walked out of the nest, squatted on the ground, and stretched out one wing.
"Go up and report back anytime if anything happens."
"Yes!"
Fengcao climbed onto Tangyuan's broad back with nervousness and excitement.
Tangyuan waddled to the open space outside, took a few steps, quickly flew into the sky with the wind and grass, and flew towards the Wild Boar Mountain to the north of the tribe.
Jiang Xuanze washed his face with cold water, forced himself to calm down, then went to find Chishao and explained the situation.
Chi Shao was surprised: "It's here so soon, what should we do?"
The Wild Boar Tribe is a medium-sized tribe. The Wild Boar Cavalry is extremely fierce, not to mention the existence of the Totem God, which is very difficult to deal with.
Jiang Xuan asked: "How is the situation of Teng Shen?"
"The vine god still didn't respond, but the vines grew very fast and were already wrapping around the boulder."
Jiang Xuan frowned and said: "If the Teng Shen cannot wake up in time, we will be in big trouble."
He thought for a moment and said, "Sister, we have to be prepared."
"On the one hand, you continue to communicate with the Vine God, and I will prepare the warriors of the tribe to fight against the wild boar tribe."
"On the other hand, we will transport food supplies to the other side of the river tonight. If the situation comes to the worst, we will have to leave the tribe by boat first."
In fact, Jiang Xuan is not sure whether there will be enough time to leave by boat by that time, and whether the wild boar god will pursue him.
If the Wild Boar God pursues them, none of the Vine Tribe’s ships may be able to escape.
But he couldn't say these words, otherwise it would be too demoralizing.
After discussing with Chi Shao, Jiang Xuan immediately asked the soldiers to blow the rally horn.
"Woo...Woo..."
The loud horn sound echoed over the Vine Tribe, and all the people in the Vine Tribe were awakened.
Whether they were sleeping, not sleeping, or even exploring the origin of life, they all immediately got up, picked up weapons, lit torches, and hurried outside.
Torches were lit up everywhere in the Vine Tribe. From the sky, you can clearly see that these torches are like fire dragons, quickly converging towards the open space in front of the Vine Tribe's altar.
When all the people who could rush over arrived, Jiang Xuan faced all the tribesmen and shouted loudly: "Today, the reason why I woke everyone up overnight is because the enemies of the tribe have appeared!"
"The Wild Boar Tribe appears outside Wild Boar Mountain and may attack us tomorrow."
Jiang Xuan's words were like a big stone thrown into a well, causing large splashes of water.
The expressions of the people of the Vine Tribe have changed, because many people know that the Wild Boar Tribe is a powerful medium-sized tribe. Can the Vine Tribe cope with the Wild Boar Tribe in its current situation?
Jiang Xuan didn't care what their reactions were and directly issued a series of orders.
First, all warriors of one color or above should bring their weapons and go to the north of the tribe to lay out fortifications and various traps.
Secondly, all ordinary tribesmen immediately packed up the tribe's food and other supplies, packed them all and transported them to the east coast, where they were temporarily piled in the shipyard.
After the arrangements were made, the leaders of each team immediately took their people to work.
Jiang Xuan, together with Chi Shao, hopes to awaken the Vine God.
Under the night, dots of firelight are constantly moving in the vine tribe, just like busy fireflies.
Chi Shao pressed his hands on the small vine wall and controlled the vines to open a gap.
Later, the two walked into the vine wall, holding torches and saw the divine vines wrapped around the boulders.
Just like Chi Shao said, the divine vine grew very fast and had already entangled all the boulders, with lush green leaves.
However, there is no divine light on the leaves at all, and there is no sense of oppression like in the past. Some leaves even have several holes chewed by insects.
Red peony stepped forward, looked through the leaves with bugs, and caught the bugs one by one.
Jiang Xuan stared at Shen Teng for a while and sighed slightly.
According to this situation, there is no hope for Shinto for the time being.
Chi Shao did not give up. After catching the insects, she stuck a torch on the ground, sat down cross-legged, chanted witchcraft, and tried to wake up the divine vine.
This night, everyone in the Vine Tribe spent their time nervously and busy.
After daybreak, the leaders of each team came over to report that preparations for the war had been made.
Tangyuan also came back twice with wind grass. The second time he came back was when the sky was clear, and told Jiang Xuan that the wild boar tribe was already heading here.
Jiang Xuan asked them to keep their positions, and then looked at Shendou again.
Chi Shao has been sitting cross-legged on the ground all night, and the sound of witchcraft has almost never stopped, and her voice has become hoarse.
Disappointingly, there was still no response from the divine vine. However, as the night passed, it grew several more branches, and the main stem also grew a lot thicker.
Jiang Xuan patted the red peony root and said: "It seems that the Vine God will not wake up so soon. Sister, forget it, the wild boar tribe is coming soon."
Chi Shao opened her bloodshot eyes and said: "Xuan, you go over and join the soldiers first, and I'll try harder."
Jiang Xuan looked at the stubborn Chi Shao, sighed slightly, then turned and walked outside.
At this time, a ray of sunshine appeared in the east. It penetrated the clouds and dyed the white clouds into red clouds.
"Tick..."
On the leaves of the divine vine, a dewdrop rolled a few times, then fell to the ground along the tip of the leaf, blending into the soil.
Suddenly, a faint green light appeared on the leaves at the end of the divine vine, flickering like a firefly.
Before long, more and more glowing leaves appeared, and the divine light became more and more intense.
"Buzz!"
Jiang Xuan had not walked a few steps when he suddenly felt the ground shake several times. He looked back and saw the green light starting from the end of the divine vine and spreading rapidly downward along the stems and leaves.
Soon, the entire vine was blooming with divine light, and all the branches and leaves became as crystal clear as if they were carved from jade.
Jiang Xuan never expected that when he had given up hope, hope would appear instead.
"Teng...Teng Shen is awake!"
Chi Shao looked at the scene in front of her and was so excited that her voice choked up.
After the divine light bloomed, the divine vine grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The main stem became thicker and thicker, and its branches became more and more numerous. It didn't take long for the boulder to be wrapped around it.
The main stem of the divine vine continues to grow upward, and will soon be taller than the surrounding vine walls.
Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of something and ran over quickly, whispering: "Teng Shen, don't grow up so fast yet!"
The growing divine vine temporarily stopped moving, and the vine at the end spread out in front of Jiang Xuan.
At the same time, a voice sounded in Jiang Xuan's mind: "What bad idea are you planning?"
Hearing Shen Teng's voice again, Jiang Xuan was refreshed. He was finally sure that Shen Teng was still alive.
Chi Shao also cast a puzzled look at Jiang Xuan, obviously not understanding why the divine vine finally woke up and why Jiang Xuan didn't let it continue to grow.
Jiang Xuan did not answer directly, but asked: "Teng Shen, after you passed the tribulation, has there been any change in your strength?"
This is the issue that Jiang Xuan is most concerned about. If Shen Teng's strength declines after the tribulation, they will still have to prepare to run away after the wild boar tribe arrives.
Shinto replied in a calm tone: "It's a little stronger than before falling asleep."
"I'll take the liberty to ask again, if it's a little stronger, how much is it?"
Jiang Xuan bit the bullet and got to the bottom of it, because he had to know Shendou's true strength in order to find a way to deal with the next situation.
"If you encounter that black snake again, you shouldn't need to resort to snake repellent and heavenly calamity."
When Jiang Xuan heard these words, he finally felt relieved.
This means that the divine vine seems to have been badly struck by lightning, with all its stems and leaves burned, but in fact it has successfully overcome the tribulation.
In other words, the Vine Tribe now has a great god!
"Fujigami, it's like this..."
Jiang Xuan explained the current situation of the Teng tribe to Shen Teng in detail, including some problems that broke out within the tribe and the upcoming wild boar tribe.
After hearing this, Shendou asked again: "So, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Xuandao: "I would like to ask the Vine God not to expose his strength for the time being, and first use this crisis to find out those people in the tribe who are not determined or even have bad intentions."
"When the tribe is really in crisis, you, Fujigami, will take action. In this way, you will not only frighten the nearby tribes, but also pull out the moths in the tribe. Kill two birds with one stone."
After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, Shen Teng and Chi Shao finally understood what he had in mind.
"Okay then, I'll do as you say."
The vines of the divine vine have been retracted, and even the vines that were originally very long and strong have become smaller. The green divine light on the branches and leaves is all restrained, and they look no different from ordinary vines.
At this time, the sound of horns was heard outside, which indicated that the people of the Wild Boar Tribe were approaching.
"Sister, let's go there together."
Jiang Xuan helped Chi Shao up, and the two of them walked towards the north gate of the tribe.
Before Shendou woke up, when they faced the wild boar tribe, they thought of running away if they couldn't beat them. Now, the two of them are much calmer.
Frog Tribe.
"Chief, the wild boar tribe is coming, what should we do?"
Among the Frog Tribe, a warrior hurriedly ran over from the direction of the Vine Tribe, panting and asking Huo Meng.
At this time, all the members of the Frog tribe were looking at Huo Meng, hoping that he would come up with an idea.
Huo Meng looked at Wu, who hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I told you that from now on, you will make the decision about the tribe."
Huo Meng withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said: "All warriors, bring the giant frog and follow me. Let's go fight for the Teng tribe!"
The warriors of the frog tribe put their hands in front of their mouths to make a trumpet shape, and then imitated the sound of frogs.
"Quack quack..."
In the frog tribe, hundreds of adult giant frogs jumped out from ponds, rivers, and forests, and then jumped to various familiar warriors.
Since these giant frogs came to the Southern Wilderness, due to abundant food and water, they have become much larger than when they were in the Western Wilderness, and their colors are much brighter than in the Western Wilderness.
The warriors of the frog tribe put the sharp parts of their weapons such as spearheads, arrowheads, blowgun needles, etc. on the backs of the most colorful giant frogs, and rubbed them gently a few times.
The mucus secreted by these giant frogs is highly toxic. After the weapons are stained with these poisons, as long as they cause wounds to the enemy, they may be poisoned to death by relying on the toxins of the giant frogs.
The reason why it is said that it is possible to poison people to death, but not necessarily to poison people, is because the tribesmen have lived in the primitive jungle for a long time, have rich experience in dealing with various poisons, and often carry detoxification drugs with them. As long as you treat the wound promptly and take the antidote, you may not die.
Even so, poisoned weapons are very terrifying, especially on the battlefield. As long as the toxin affects the enemy's combat effectiveness, there is a chance to kill the enemy.
Venom is time-sensitive, and fresh venom has the strongest effect. Over time, the toxicity will gradually weaken.
Because of this, the warriors of the Frog Tribe will quench the poison on their weapons before setting off, instead of quenching the poison in advance.
Huo Meng carefully coated his weapons with venom and put them away. When all the soldiers were ready, he waved his hand and shouted: "Follow me!"
More than two hundred warriors, plus more than a hundred giant frogs, ran towards the south gate of the Vine Tribe. They had to pass through the south gate, pass through the residence of the Vine Tribe, arrive at the north gate, and meet up with the warriors of the Vine Tribe.<
/p>
When Jiang Xuan learned that the Frog Tribe decided to join the war, he was greatly surprised, because no one except him and Chi Shao knew that Shen Teng had awakened.
The fact that the Frog Tribe can come at such a time is touching in every aspect.
"Let them come over!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers from the guard team hurried back and notified the south gate to let them go.
Soon, Huo Meng led the warriors of the frog tribe and the giant frogs rushed outside the north gate to join Jiang Xuan.
"Chief Teng, we are here!"
Huo Meng ran to Jiang Xuan with a giant frog. He was holding a bone spear in his hand. He was panting slightly because he ran too fast.
Jiang Xuan looked at the tall Huo Meng and couldn't help but ask: "Chief Huo Meng, do you know what kind of situation we are facing now?"
"Know."
"Aren't you afraid of catching up with the Frog Tribe?"
"I believe in Leader Xuan, and I also believe in the Teng tribe."
"Hahaha, okay, the fierce leader is brave!"
Jiang Xuan laughed. He was really happy. No matter what considerations the Frog Tribe had, if they dared to come to help at this time, it meant they were trustworthy.
