The giant claw tribe's residence, in the wooden house.
"Leader Uncaria, you eat some wild fruits first, and I'll grill you some skewers of meat."
Although Shi Shovel was the leader, he was still a little panicked when facing Undo, the leader of the Vine tribe's hunting team, and could only cover up his inner panic with busyness.
Uncaria didn't care either. He sat on a tree stump by the firepit and looked at the decorations and appliances in the wooden house.
Stone shovel's wooden house looks very simple, there is no table or chairs, and except for a few animal skins hanging on the wall, there is almost nothing of high value in sight.
Is the Giant Claw tribe so poor? Uncaria is very confused about this.
You know, the Giant Claw Tribe controls the gold veins. Logically speaking, as the leader of the Giant Claw Tribe, Stone Shovel should not be so poor.
Although the Giant Claw Tribe pays tribute to the Vine Tribe with some gold every month, the Vine Tribe does not treat the Giant Claw Tribe badly and will give back a large amount of salt, pottery and other materials every time.
In addition, the Giant Claw tribe can often dig out some rare stones and medicinal materials underground, so their life should be more nourishing than that of ordinary small tribes.
Uncaria pondered for a moment and asked Shi Shovel, "Chief Shi Shovel, why don't you put a pottery cauldron in your fire pit for cooking?"
Shi Tu said awkwardly: "I don't have a pottery tripod here."
"Impossible? I remember that the Vine Tribe gave you two pottery tripods as gifts before, right?"
Shi Shi was even more embarrassed. He concealed it awkwardly: "I don't like stewed food, so I gave the pottery tripod to the witch."
"So that's it."
Uncaria nodded and did not prick it.
In fact, due to the existence of thorn vines, the Vine Tribe had long known that Shi Shovel, the leader promoted by the Vine Tribe, was having a hard time in the Giant Claw Tribe, but no one expected that he would have such a miserable life.
This situation may be caused on the one hand because the witches of the Giant Claw tribe are relatively strong and have the resources and hearts of the entire tribe in their hands. On the other hand, it also shows that Shi Shovel's ability is relatively poor. Although he has the status of leader, he has little ability.
No benefits can be gained.
However, there are always two sides to things.
For the Vine Tribe, it is a good thing for someone like Stone Shovel to be the leader of the Giant Claw Tribe, because he has no ability or ambition, and there is basically no need to worry that the Giant Claw Tribe will suddenly rebel one day and bring big trouble to the Vine Tribe.
However, the current situation is that Stone Shovel cannot control the tribe at all. The power of the entire tribe is in the hands of the giant claw tribe shaman, and the giant claw tribe shaman hates the vine tribe.
When the Vine Tribe is strong, the Giant Claw Tribe Witch may lie dormant honestly, but once there is an accident or signs of weakness in the Vine Tribe, he may immediately lead the entire Giant Claw Tribe to rebel, or even attack with the hostile forces.
This hidden danger must be solved as soon as possible!
Undo glanced at the two warrior lines on Shi Shovel's face, and pondered for a moment. He believed that a large part of the reason why Shi Shovel could not control the Giant Claw tribe was because his own strength was too low.
Tribal people respect the strong, and a two-color warrior as the leader will definitely not be able to convince the crowd.
Undo moved his position, got closer to the stone shovel, and then asked mysteriously: "Leader of the stone shovel, do you want to improve your strength?"
Shi Shou was stunned for a moment, and then nodded decisively: "Of course I want to!"
"But what's the use of thinking? I've worked hard for so long, but I'm still a two-color warrior."
Shi Shovel's expression is a bit bitter. Soldiers also have talents. Those with good talents will improve their strength quickly if they work hard. Those with poor talents will improve more slowly even if they put in the same effort.
Stone shovel belongs to the type of person with relatively poor talent, so he is only a two-color warrior despite his hard work, and he is still far away from becoming a three-color warrior.
As for other small tribes, the leader is at least a three-color warrior, otherwise why would the other warriors in the tribe obey you?
Uncaria hooked Shi Shovel's shoulder affectionately: "The Vine tribe can help you."
Shi Shou was stunned for a moment: "How can I help?"
Uncaria leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Do you know the Mountain Turtle Tribe? They have a kind of mushroom that can enhance the strength of warriors, such as the Power Mushroom, the Swift Mushroom, etc. As long as you eat it, you can quickly grow yourself
Strength."
"By the way, there is also a kind of ice lotus root, which is now in the hands of the Otter tribe. Eating it can also increase your strength."
"As long as you have enough magic mushrooms and ice lotus roots, you can quickly become a three-color warrior."
After listening to Uncaria's words, Shi Shovel's breathing became rapid.
He dreams of becoming stronger and then taking real power, letting those who look down on him take a good look at who is the leader of the Giant Claw Tribe.
The stone shovel grabbed Uncaria's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
"As long as it allows me to break through to the three-color warrior, I can do anything!"
Uncaria's face twitched, and then he naturally opened Shi Shovel's hand. With the strength of his five-color warrior, Shi Shovel couldn't grab it even if he tried his best.
"Don't worry, as I said just now, we are here to help you. As long as you are loyal to the Vine Tribe, there will be magic mushrooms and ice lotus roots, and nothing that belongs to you can escape."
"Magic mushrooms and ice lotus roots will be sent to you in a while. Now I will help you deal with the disobedient people in the Giant Claw tribe."
When Stone Shovel heard this, he suddenly became nervous: "You want to kill them?"
Undo shook his head: "Why kill people? Our Fuji tribe will not kill people for no reason."
"As long as you don't kill people." Shi Shou breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "How does the leader of Uncaria want to deal with them?"
Uncaria said slowly: "You know about our Vine tribe going to the central part to open up wasteland, right?"
Shi Tu nodded: "Of course I know. I heard that people from the Mountain Turtle Tribe and Frog Tribe also went."
Goudo said: "Yes, people from the Mountain Turtle Tribe and Frog Tribe also went, but the manpower was still not enough, so the leader asked me to go to each affiliated tribe to recruit thirty warriors and thirty war beasts.
Let’s go to the central government to help.”
"Think about it, if all the warriors who are stronger than you and those who oppose you are transferred to the central part of the Southern Wilderness, and your strength is upgraded to a three-color warrior, wouldn't it be much easier to control the Giant Claw tribe in the future?
?”
Shi Shovel nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong, and quickly shook his head: "Leader Uncaria, our Giant Claw tribe is already relatively weak. If the thirty strongest warriors are transferred away, the strength of the tribe will be reduced."
Even weaker, no, no, no..."
Seeing Shi Shovel's reaction, Undo immediately darkened his face: "I'm not negotiating with you. The order comes from Leader Xuan. As a subordinate tribe, you must obey unconditionally, unless the Giant Claw Tribe wants to betray the Vine Tribe!"
Shi Tuo was frightened by Undo's face and tone. He took two steps back with a pale face, his lips trembled a few times, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
Seeing that the stone shovel couldn't hold up the wall with mud, Undou suddenly felt that there was no point in scaring him.
"In short, whether you are willing or not, I will definitely take away thirty warriors and thirty giant clawed beasts today. This matter will also be of great benefit to you, unless you want to be a useless leader for the rest of your life."
After listening to Uncaria's words, Shi Tuo's face turned blue and white. He was obviously stimulated. If there was a choice, who would want to be a loser for the rest of his life?
Stone Shovel stood there, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he said in a trembling voice: "I...I will help you choose warriors and giant claw beasts."
A smile appeared on Uncaria's face. He patted the stone shovel and said, "That's right. Let's go, take me to find the witch from your Giant Claw tribe."
The stone shovel nodded and mustered up the courage to take Uncaria into a hole in the corner of the wooden house.
The two of them crawled around in a maze-like underground cave. Many places were dark. Only the Giant Claw tribesmen who were very familiar with these caves would not get lost.
I don’t know how long I drilled, but a wide cave hall appeared in front of me. In addition to the firelight, there was also natural light leaking from the ground.
Uncaria looked up curiously and found that natural light leaked from a natural rock crack above. It was quite cleverly designed to match this underground cave with a drainage system.
Then, Uncaria looked at the entire cave hall again.
He found that this place was much better than the wooden house built with stone shovels.
Various animal skins are hung on the walls and decorated with animal horns. There are two pottery tripods in the fire pit. Next to the fire pit are tables and stools that are obviously imitations of those made by the rattan tribe, and the tables and chairs are also covered with animal skins.
There were several painted pottery soup basins and a pile of exquisite pottery bowls on the table. Uncaria even saw two bronze knives and coins with very sharp edges, which were obviously often used as knives.
It can also be seen from these details that the good things of the Giant Claw tribe have indeed been taken over by witches, and the leader of the Stone Shovel has been very miserable.
"Welcome Uncaria leader to the Giant Claw tribe."
The giant claw tribe shaman was quite dissatisfied with Uncaria's behavior of looking around, but due to the other party's identity, it was difficult to blame him, so he had to use greetings to attract Uncaria's attention.
As expected, Uncaria retracted her gaze and saluted, "I have seen the giant claw tribe shaman."
No matter what you think in your heart, you still have to show the respect you deserve when facing a tribal shaman.
Seeing this scene, the giant claw tribe shaman's inner dissatisfaction was slightly relieved, so he asked Uncaria to sit down by the fire pit.
"I wonder if the leader of Undo suddenly came to see me for something important?"
Undo didn't mince words, and directly stated his purpose: "Leader Xuan asked me to go to each tribe to select the thirty most powerful warriors and thirty war beasts, and send them to the central part to help the Teng tribe open up the wilderness."
The face of the giant claw tribe witch suddenly turned ugly. This was simply unacceptable to him.
"Leader Uncaria, our Giant Claw tribe is weak and not very popular. We have to send thirty warriors and thirty war beasts at once. I'm afraid we won't be able to do it..."
Uncaria's eyes turned cold, and he stared at the Giant Claw Tribe's shaman and said: "This is the order of Leader Xuan. The Stinging Fly Tribe and the Otter Tribe are very cooperative. Does the Giant Claw Tribe intend to disobey the order? Or are you already planning to betray the Vine Tribe?"
"
As soon as the big hat of betrayal was removed, the giant claw tribe witch's face suddenly couldn't bear it, and cold sweat instantly flowed down.
If they were really found guilty of betrayal, with the strength of the Vine Tribe, the Giant Claw Tribe would probably be wiped out in an instant, leaving no room for resistance.
"No... Leader Undo, you have misunderstood. I did not say that I would disobey orders. It's just that we really don't have many warriors from the Giant Claw tribe... Do you think you can recruit a few less?"
Goudo said resolutely: "No, Leader Xuan said thirty warriors, which means thirty warriors, and they must be the strongest group of warriors!"
"this……"
The giant claw tribe shaman struggled in his heart for a while, and after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he finally reluctantly accepted the order.
"Okay, Shi Shovel, you take the leader of Uncaria to select thirty warriors and thirty giant claw beasts, and ask them to go to the Vine tribe to help. I am not feeling well, so I won't go with you."
Stone Shovel nodded like he was pecking at rice. He had no confidence at all in front of the powerful witch and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Before leaving, Goudou turned back and said: "Our leader Xuan admires the ability of leader Shi Shovel very much. I believe that the Giant Claw tribe will get better and better under the leadership of leader Shi Shovel and Wu."
After saying that, Undo left the cave hall with Shi Shovel without looking back.
In the cave hall, the giant claw tribe shaman stared at Uncaria's back, his face turned livid, and there was a rage in his heart that shot straight towards Tianling Gai.
Undo's words obviously meant that he should delegate power to Shi Shovel, which was unacceptable to him.
But after calming down a little, he felt very weak again.
The Vine Tribe is so strong that small tribes like the Giant Claw Tribe have no chance of resisting, and they even have to rely on the Vine Tribe to survive.
Now that the people of the Vine Tribe have spoken, no matter how reluctant they are and how much they hate Stone Shovel, he can no longer hold all the power in his own hands like before.

…
On the other side, after receiving the authorization from the witch, Shi Shovel successfully summoned all the warriors and giant claw beasts from the entire tribe, and selected the thirty strongest warriors and thirty giant claw beasts to follow.
Uncaria returns to the Vine Tribe.
Although these Giant Claw tribe warriors were extremely reluctant, under the gaze of more than a hundred wolf-like Vine tribe hunting team warriors, no one dared to stand up and object.
Uncaria said to the thirty giant claw tribe warriors: "I know most of you don't want to leave the giant claw tribe, but I want to tell you that going to the central part this time is a very rare opportunity for you.
"
"Without this opportunity, you would have been stuck wandering around in the northern forests all your life, and you would never have been able to see the wider world!"
"The central part is far more fertile than you think. There is endless food, endless prey, and all kinds of magical fruits that can enhance your strength."
"When you get there, if you are lucky, maybe four-color warriors or even five-color warriors will be born among you, and there will be beauties from various tribes to choose from."
"Believe me, when that time comes, even if you are asked to return to this small place, you may not be willing to come back."
Strength, food and women are the three things that tribesmen value most.
Although the thirty giant claw tribe warriors were dubious about the cake drawn by Uncaria, their resistance was indeed reduced a lot.
If the central part of the Southern Wilderness is really as good as Uncaria says, living there doesn't seem to be unacceptable.
"I will tell you the specific situation in detail later. Set off now and get to the Vine Tribe as soon as possible!"
Uncaring did not allow them to think too much, and directly ordered these warriors to ride giant claw beasts to the Vine tribe, and sent more than thirty warriors from the hunting team to accompany them.
As for himself, he took the rest of the Vine tribe warriors and rode a giant dragonfly to the next affiliated tribe.
"Buzz buzz..."
Giant dragonflies rose into the sky one after another, and not long after, they disappeared from the horizon with the hunting team of the Vine Tribe.
Stone Shovel watched the giant dragonfly disappear, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart. However, thinking of Uncaria's promise, his heart surged, and he wished he could immediately improve his strength and become the true leader of the tribe.
