Northwest of the Teng tribe, ruins of the Yanyang tribe. "Er..."
A bird song resounded through the sky, and a huge purple bird landed in the open space of the original residential area of the Yanyang tribe ruins.
Jiang Xuan led a soldier off Tangyuan's back and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar mountain. "Huhu..."
At this time, a strong wind blew by, blowing a lot of dust on the ground at the foot of the mountain, and even the wind was dyed khaki.
"There are fewer plants in this place than before."
Jiang Xuan looked at the many dead plants on the mountain and felt a little sad.
The place where the Blue Sheep tribe is located, because it is relatively close to the Western Wilderness, is relatively dry and has sparse plants.
But now, under the influence of drought, the small vegetation has died in large quantities, making it look even more desolate.
The warrior who followed Jiang Xuan was Ophiopogon japonicus, a member of the original Blue Sheep tribe. Now he is responsible for the management of wax trees and wax insects planted by the Vine tribe, as well as the processing of insect wax.
Maidong quickly walked to the center of the ruins, and the scene in front of him disappointed him. "The stream has stopped flowing."
Ophiopogon japonicus looked at the spring that had turned into a small puddle and the dry stream in front of her, feeling very bad.
The water flow of this mountain spring has always been relatively large. After the spring water flows out of the spring, it forms a small stream for drinking by the former tribesmen of the blue sheep tribe and the numerous blue sheep.
But now, the spring no longer flows out, the creek has dried up, and the leaves of the nearby plants have withered and turned yellow, and they are about to die.
Jiang Xuan also walked over. After taking a few glances, he shook his head and said, "Let's go to the wax forest and have a look."
The wax forest is located to the south of the Yanyang tribe's ruins. Originally, the spring water flowed from the spring, flowed through the residential area, and then followed the winding stream into the wax forest, watering the wax trees.
But now, the stream has stopped flowing, can the wax forest still survive?
Jiang Xuan and Ophiopogon japonicus walked quickly to the wax forest. Those wax trees that were once lush and lush, now even the leaves are no longer green, and some have even begun to turn yellow.
The waxworms on the tree have only shed their skin once, and it is the time when they need to eat a lot. Now that the wax tree is like this, the fate of these waxworms can be expected.
Jiang Xuan picked a wilted leaf and said: "If it doesn't rain again, this year's insect wax production will be greatly reduced."
Ophiopogon japonicus is very sad about the state of those wax trees, but it is too far here, and artificial watering is impossible, and they can only rely on their natural growth.
Jiang Xuan patted Ophiopogon japonicus on the shoulder and wanted to say something to comfort him, but in the end he did not say it because he knew that these wax trees and wax worms had special feelings for Ophiopogon japonicus and could not be comforted by just a few words. p>
"Go and have a look elsewhere."
Jiang Xuan left the wax forest with Ophiopogon japonicus and continued flying to the Western Wilderness on glutinous rice balls. After flying for less than half a day, his heart felt cold.
At this time, due to the lack of rain for a long time, most of the Western Wasteland has turned into a desert, and the desert is expanding at an alarming rate.
A strong wind blows, and the dust is flying all over the sky. The air is so dry that it makes people feel very uncomfortable.
If this continues, it won't be long before the entire Western Wilderness is likely to turn into a desert, and the Vine Tribe not far from the Western Wilderness will definitely be greatly affected.
Jiang Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "The natural power of heaven and earth is really terrible and cannot be resisted by human beings."
Who could have imagined that the Western Wilderness, which was originally vast and covered by primeval forests, would become what it is today?
Jiang Xuan realized that the Vine Tribe must respond as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late by the time the desert really invades the Vine Tribe's territory.
Behind Jiang Xuan, Ophiopogon japonicus was also sitting on the back of glutinous rice balls. He looked down at the yellow sand-filled land from a high altitude, and his mind was greatly shocked.
Compared with the great changes in the Western Wilderness, the rise and fall of the wax forest at the site of the Blue Sheep Tribe is simply insignificant.
At this moment, his mentality quietly changed, and his vision and mind were improved.
Tangyuan took them around the Western Wasteland.
At this time, the wave of migration has passed, and the entire Western Wilderness has become very desolate. The blazing sunshine, the yellow sand everywhere, and the dead trees everywhere convey a sad atmosphere.
However, there are always exceptions to everything.
Jiang Xuan discovered that there were several relatively large rivers that were still flowing, and the plants on both sides were able to survive tenaciously.
There are also several places that originally had large lakes, which have become oases in the desert. The lush vegetation forms a sharp contrast with the yellow sand in the sky.
Most of the tribes who stayed in the Western Wilderness lived on these oases.
Because the scope of the oasis is relatively small, and the tribesmen mainly focus on hunting, a small oasis alone cannot support many people.
When food becomes increasingly scarce, it will be difficult for these small tribes to survive. Even if they can survive, the number of people will not be very large.
"Let's go back."
After Jiang Xuan took a general look at the situation in Xihuang, he asked Tangyuan to turn around and return to the Teng tribe.
One day later, Jiang Xuan returned to the Vine Tribe and immediately summoned all the leaders of the Vine Tribe to have a meeting in the meeting hall.
When everyone arrived, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao sat side by side at the main seats. Then, Jiang Xuan began to talk about the ruins of the Yanyang tribe and the changes in the Western Wilderness.
"Over at Yanyang Mountain, the springs have stopped flowing and the wax trees are about to dry up. I'm afraid this year's insect wax production will be much reduced."
"Over there in the Western Wilderness, the desert is expanding rapidly on a large scale. If this continues, it won't be long before it invades our side. We must respond as soon as possible."
Chi Shao asked: "Then how should we deal with it?"
Jiang Xuan said categorically: "To expand to the Great Swamp, except for the territory of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, other places must be in our hands!"
The Great Swamp is the largest water source on the edge of the Southern Wilderness. It covers a very vast area and is extremely rich in water resources. Even if there is a severe drought, it will not be greatly affected.
Under the threat of desert invasion, such a place will become a treasure land in the future. As the saying goes, in its position, seek its own government.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Since Jiang Xuan sits in the position of leader of the Vine Tribe, he has to be responsible for thousands or even more people in the tribe. He cannot be soft-hearted or hesitant.
If you don't fight for territory or expand because you are soft-hearted, and keep guarding your own three-thirds of an acre, there is no guarantee that it will not be wiped out by other stronger tribes in the future, or it will become weak due to the continuous invasion of the desert.
This is something Jiang Xuan absolutely cannot accept. Jiang Xuan is bound to win the Great Swamp and nearby areas!
In fact, in the past two years, the hunting team of the Vine Tribe has begun to open hunting routes to the Great Swamp.
Not long ago, Jiang Xuan led people to accept the Stinging Fly Tribe near the Great Swamp as a subordinate tribe.
Now, what Jiang Xuan has to do is to expand the planting industry there and turn the fertile land around the great swamp into the future large granary of the Vine Tribe!
During Jiang Xuan's proposal, everyone began to discuss it and finally unanimously supported the proposal. Jiang Xuan immediately began to assign tasks:
"Hunting Team 1 and Hunting Team 2, starting from today, you are responsible for clearing the obstacles on the road from the Vine Tribe to the Great Swamp. Whether they are ferocious beasts or other threatening things, eradicate them all!"
"Yes! Leave it to us!" Uncaria and Stone Loach stood up and took over the task.
"Engineering team, I will assign five hundred young men to you and build the road to the great swamp!"
"Yes!" Hongtu also stood up, his eyes very determined.
"Planting team, I will send the second guard team to provide you with protection. Wherever the engineering team's roads are built, you will open up wasteland and turn all the land suitable for planting into crop land for our Vine tribe!"
"Yes!"
Gan Song also stood up, his face a little solemn, because large-scale land reclamation is not an easy task, this task is very heavy.
Of course, he did not flinch, and his eyes even ignited with fighting spirit. He hoped that one day, he could turn the vast swamp surroundings into a Vine Tribe planting area!
"Breeding team, you will expand with the planting team to raise more livestock for the tribe and ensure the supply of meat!"
"Yes!"
Dajiao's face was very excited, and he could not wait to build livestock sheds and pens.
"Other teams are responsible for logistical support. All materials needed by the hunting team, engineering team, and planting team to open up new territories must be supplied!"
"Okay, let's go to work!"
Jiang Xuan waved his hand, and all the leaders got up and left their seats to carry out their respective tasks. Soon, only Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao were left in the spacious conference room.
Chi Shao looked a little dazed, because the Teng tribe had developed so fast in the past few years, beyond her imagination.
Now, Jiang Xuan continues to expand rapidly, which makes it difficult for her to adapt. After everyone left, she finally couldn't help but express the questions in her heart.
"Xuan, wouldn't it be better if we live here and expand to the surrounding area bit by bit?"
"Sister, I used to think so too, but now, the environment is changing too fast and we can't allow us to expand slowly."
"Do you remember how the Frog Tribe got here? If it wasn't for Fierce's fierce determination to migrate to the Southern Wilderness at all costs, I'm afraid the Frog Tribe would have been submerged by the yellow sand."
Jiang Xuan sighed and described to Chi Shao what he had seen and learned about the Frog Tribe before.
Then, he told Chi Shao what he had seen in the Western Wilderness and the central part of the Southern Wilderness in the past two days.
After saying this, Jiang Xuan said helplessly: "Whether it is the drastic changes in the Western Wilderness or the dangers in the central part of the Southern Wilderness, we must be strong enough to be able to deal with it."
"The Vine God has become a great god, but the population of our Vine tribe is not even comparable to that of the powerful medium-sized tribes, let alone those large tribes."
"Once a crisis strikes, what can we do to resist it? We can't place our hopes on Fujigami every time, right?"
"So, we must take over the Great Swamp and become a truly big tribe as soon as possible!" After hearing this, Chi Shao fell into a long silence.
Except for the initial establishment of the tribe and the tribal wars, Red Shao actually stayed in the Teng tribe.
Although this has played a role in stabilizing people's hearts, it also limits her knowledge.
However, Red Shao has one advantage, that is, it listens to others' advice and has complete trust in Jiang Xuan.
"Xuan, I don't understand some things very well, but I believe in you. Since you think we must win the Great Swamp, then we will work hard to win it!"
Jiang Xuan nodded, with a relieved smile on his face. Chi Shao's support was still very important to him...
