After coming out of the gold mine cave, it was already dark outside.
Jiang Xuan could only let the warriors of the Vine Tribe spend one night in the Giant Claw Tribe. For this reason, the people of the Giant Claw Tribe were very worried, fearing that their little food would be eaten up.
However, they were obviously overly worried. The warriors of the Vine Tribe did not ask for food from the Giant Claw Tribe. Instead, they ate the prey they hunted on the road and the dry food they carried.
As the two most powerful hunting teams of the Vine Tribe, as long as there are prey nearby, they will not go hungry.
That night, Shi Tuo and Jiang Xuan sat next to the campfire. While he was grilling meat, he said worriedly: "Chief Xuan, I am just a two-color warrior. If you ask me to be the leader, the tribesmen in the tribe will definitely not be convinced."
"When you were here, the clansmen did not dare to say anything. After you leave, I am afraid that my position as leader will not be secure."
Shi Shovel's worries were not groundless. He had noticed that the warriors in the tribe who were stronger than him looked at him with disdain and even hatred in their eyes.
Most of the Giant Claw tribe members believe that the Stone Shovel was the cause of the Vine Tribe and that the old leader was also killed by the Stone Shovel. He is the culprit.
How can such a person be a leader?
Stone Shovel is worried that once the Vine Tribe leaves, he will immediately be pushed out of his position as leader by the Giant Claw Tribe members, or even killed directly.
Jiang Xuan thought for a while, secretly communicated with Shen Teng, and asked Shen Teng to order the Giant Claw God to support Shi Shovel as the leader.
The divine vine glowed slightly, apparently using its soul to communicate with the Giant Claw God. "Rumble..."
After a while, the giant claw god reluctantly crawled out of the ground, opened his mouth and sprayed out a stream of divine power towards the stone shovel.
The divine power instantly enveloped Shi Tuo's entire body and slowly integrated into his body. "Ah..."
The muscles on Stone Shovel's body quickly became stronger, the muscles and bones became tougher, and the whole person's momentum continued to rise.
When the divine light disappeared, Shi Shovel's strength had been forcibly upgraded to a four-color warrior!
At the same time, the shaman of the Giant Claw tribe obviously received instructions from God. He walked to Shi Shovel and announced to all the tribesmen: "Oracle, from today on, Stone Shovel is the leader of our Giant Claw tribe, and no one who orders him can Shall not be violated."
"How could this happen? Why should Shi Shou be the leader? Stop talking, this is God's decision..."
The people of the Giant Claw tribe were talking a lot, especially the stronger warriors, who were very unconvinced.
The giant claw tribe shaman's face darkened and he said, "Are you questioning God's will?"
As soon as these words came out, and the Giant Claw God was right in front of them, staring at them coldly, no one in the Giant Claw tribe dared to speak anymore.
"God has made a will, and this matter has been decided. Anyone who opposes it will be expelled from the tribe immediately!"
The words of the giant claw tribe witch were so harsh that even if others were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say another word and could only lower their heads.
The giant claw tribe shaman glanced at Jiang Xuan, then turned around and went back. The giant claw god also climbed back into the cave and continued to sulk.
Beside the campfire, Shi Shovel felt the majestic power in his body, and felt as if he was dreaming.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "With the support of the giant claw god and the witch, your strength has been improved again. Now you can be the leader with peace of mind, right?"
Shi Tu said without hesitation: "Chief Xuan, from now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will always be loyal to the Teng Tribe."
"Hahaha, okay, I will remember your words. I hope you will keep your promise in the future. When the meat is cooked, come, come, eat meat, eat meat."
Jiang Xuan is very happy. The totem god of the Giant Claw Tribe has been charged, and the leader of the Giant Claw Tribe has also expressed his loyalty to him. This tribe has been firmly captured by the Vine Tribe.
Everyone had a great time that night, and some warriors from the Vine tribe even had some indescribable stories with the women from the Giant Claw tribe.
The next morning, Jiang Xuan painted the totem pattern of the Vine Tribe on a large stone in the center of the Giant Claw Tribe's residence, and then led two hunting teams back to the Vine Tribe with a large amount of gold.
On March 18th, the weather was already very warm, humid and rainy, and various plants also ushered in a period of rapid growth.
Gan Song, the planting captain, excitedly called Jiang Xuan to a vegetable field and asked him to see the new vegetable varieties just planted this year.
This is a fertile vegetable land that has been planted for many years. Some of the vegetable seeds Jiang Xuan brought back from the Black Tooth Tribe last year were sown here.
Now, these seeds have taken root, sprouted, and begun to grow.
"Chief, look, this vegetable is already as high as the knees before it grows up. At first, its leaves spread out, just like other vegetables, but later, its leaves actually closed up. , turned into a ball."
Amid Gan Song's excited introduction, Jiang Xuan looked at the vegetable, his eyes widened. "Chinese cabbage!"
Jiang Xuan looked at the familiar leaves and thought he had made a mistake. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes. "Yes, it's Chinese cabbage, and it's Chinese cabbage with balls!"
Jiang Xuan was very pleasantly surprised. He originally thought that in this primitive world, it would be good to see loose-leaf cabbage.
Who would have thought that there is something like Chinese cabbage here. Jiang Xuan asked: "Have you eaten it to feed the animals?"
"I've eaten pigs, cows, big-horned deer, one-horned birds, long-tailed rabbits, colorful pheasants, and colorful ducks. There's nothing wrong with them, and I really like them."
"Okay, okay... great!"
Jiang Xuan was even happier. He squatted down, carefully tore off half of a cabbage leaf, selected the clean part, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
The taste of this kind of balled cabbage is unexpectedly good, with a faint sweetness that makes Jiang Xuan's eyes light up.
"Good stuff, really good stuff!"
Jiang Xuan is very satisfied with the cabbage. It tastes good and is big. It has already reached the height of an adult's knees before it has grown. Once it is fully grown, it is estimated to be as tall as half a person.
This is a truly high-quality vegetable, better than the vegetables currently available in the Vine Tribe!
"Take good care of these Chinese cabbages and wait for them to set seeds. Leave more seeds and try to make them available to the people of our tribe in two or three years."
"Don't worry, chief, I have planted insect-eating plants around the area and erected fences, which will definitely allow these cabbages to grow up smoothly!"
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "I believe you."
Gan Song's trust in Jiang Xuan was very useful, and at the same time he secretly vowed that he would not let down his leader's trust.
"Let's go and see other things."
Jiang Xuan walked to the other side of the vegetable field, and he saw a very strange plant.
The leaves of this plant are disc-shaped, with a straight rod in the middle connecting the disc-shaped leaves, which is very magical.
"What kind of plant is this?" Jiang Xuan asked curiously.
"This is also a seed that the leader brought back from the central region. It looks a bit like a rabbit head." Gan Song reminded Jiang Xuan.
This plant is called rabbit head fruit. Wu Yu from the Black Tooth Tribe specially introduced it to him at that time. It is a food-type herbaceous plant.
"It's interesting, but I don't know if the yield is high and whether it can be used as a staple food."
Jiang Xuan likes staple food, because enough staple food can help the Teng tribe get rid of the problem of food and clothing and increase its population.
In addition to Chinese cabbage and rabbit heads, there are many other vegetables or food crops in this vegetable field, most of which are new varieties, and Jiang Xuan cannot recognize them.
Some of these new varieties can adapt to the environment of the rattan tribe, while others cannot. Their growth conditions may be good or bad, and it is unknown how much they can produce.
However, Jiang Xuan believes that with so many varieties of grains and vegetables, some will adapt to the environment of the Teng tribe and become new foods on the tables of the Teng tribe people.
Later, Gan Song took him to another vegetable field, where Jiang Xuan saw another familiar plant.
"This is...corn?"
When Jiang Xuan saw this corn-like plant, he was very happy.
The stems of this plant are very tall, a bit like green sugarcane, and the leaves are broad, slender, and green, almost exactly like the leaves of corn.
When he was in the Black Tooth Tribe, one of the seeds he traded was a purple seed that was similar to a corn cob, except that it was very big and the seeds were purple.
The plants he sees now should be those grown from purple seeds.
If this thing is really corn, or a food crop similar to corn, then it may become the new staple food of the Vine Tribe!
"Pay more attention to these plants. If they bear fruit, tell me immediately. Yes!"
Gan Song kept this in mind and decided to take more care of the crops that the leader paid special attention to.
In addition to plants that look like corn, Jiang Xuan also saw a plant that the Vine Tribe has been growing for two years, called red cabbage.
The whole plant is purple-red, about half a person tall, and looks a bit like a small tree, but it is actually a herbaceous plant and a vegetable.
The whole plant of red cabbage is edible, including the stems, leaves, flowers and roots. It has a relatively high sugar content and is sweet when cooked.
At first, Jiang Xuan was also very happy, thinking that he could use this red cabbage to boil sugar, so that the Teng tribe would have a lot of sugar to eat.
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Red cabbage may not be adapted to the soil and climate here in the Vine Tribe, and its growth is very poor. Two years have passed, and the planting scale is still pitifully small.
Because of this, Jiang Xuan removed the hope of producing sugar from red cabbage and instead focused on honey leaf trees and honey bugs.
He hoped that when the honey leaf trees were planted on a large scale, the honey worms would produce enough sugar for everyone in the Vine tribe to eat, and it could even be used as important goods to trade with other tribes. p>
After checking out the vegetable fields, Jiang Xuan went to the depression next to the pond.
At this time, fish scale fruits have been planted in some muddy areas that have accumulated water all year round, and judging from the current situation, the growth is relatively good.
These fish scale fruits were brought back by Jiang Xuan from the crocodile tribe and are one of the staple foods of the crocodile tribe.
Although it can grow in the vine tribe, it is still unknown whether it will bear fruit and whether the yield will be as high as in the crocodile tribe.
However, the Vine Tribe already has many varieties of food crops. Generally speaking, the planting industry is booming, and the output is increasing every year, providing necessary food for the development of the Vine Tribe.
