Vine tribe, high in the northwest mountains.
“Chief, these transplanted wax trees are growing very well, and we should be able to put wax worms on them in two years.
In the new wax forest near the Vine Tribe, Ophiopogon japonicus looked at the hundreds of lush wax saplings with a smile on his face.
After successfully trying to transplant wax saplings last year, this spring, Jiang Xuan led a group of people to the Yanyang tribe site and dug up almost all the small wax trees, hundreds of them in total.
Except for a few trees that failed to survive because their roots were dug out, most of the wax saplings survived transplanting and grew a large number of leaves.
Wax trees grow very quickly, and it only takes two years for them to grow to a large height, and then they can be released with wax worms. In this way, insect wax can be produced within the territory of the Vine Tribe, without having to risk going to the ruins of the Blue Sheep Tribe, or worrying that the insect wax will be destroyed or harvested in advance.
Jiang Xuan stood on a stone, pointed to the surrounding mountains and said: "In the future, we can plant these mountains with wax trees. By then we will have more insect wax than we can use up!"
Listening to Jiang Xuan's bold words, Maidong said excitedly: "I really hope that day comes soon!"
'The day will come, work!'
Jiang Xuan jumped down from the stone. He was full of confidence in the future of the Teng tribe.
Jiang Xuan and Ophiopogon japonicus took stone hoes and shoveled away all the weeds in the wax forest, which was conducive to the growth of wax saplings.
When these wax trees grow lush and leafy, there will no longer be such troublesome weeding. They will block the sunlight themselves and prevent the weeds from growing under the trees.
"Er
Just when they were about to finish weeding, Tangyuan suddenly flew back from a distance and landed outside the wax forest, calling out to Jiang Xuan in a low voice.
"problem occurs!"
Jiang Xuan lives with Tangyuan day and night, and has some understanding of the different sounds of Tangyuan.
Maidong asked hurriedly: "Chief, what happened?"
“I don’t know, stop weeding now and come with me.
Jiang Xuan hurried to the glutinous rice balls, and Maidong hurriedly followed, carrying a hoe.
"Er
Tangyuan stretched out a wing and signaled Jiang Xuan to come up.
Jiang Xuan climbed directly onto Tangyuan's back, and then asked Ophiopogon japonicus to climb up as well.
"Huhu
Tangyuan flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
“Chief, where are Tang Yuan taking us?
“We’ll find out later.
Jiang Xuan knew that something must have happened, otherwise Tangyuan would not behave like this.
You know, Tangyuan's intelligence is not low, he just can't speak.
The glutinous rice balls flew all the way to the northwest. After flying for about ten minutes, they stopped flying forward and hovered in the air at a slightly lower altitude.
Jiang Xuan looked at the ground. After only a moment, he understood what was going on.
"The migrating tribe!"
On the ground, through the sparse forest, you can clearly see a large group of people walking forward. Among this group of people, there is an unusually tall beast that exudes a terrifying aura. It is obviously their totem god.
"Chief, look, there are them over there too." Maidong pointed to the distance.
Jiang Xuan looked in the direction that Ophiopogon was pointing, and saw another tribe, with a large number of people, also migrating towards the southern wilderness. Jiang Xuan's face became serious: "Tangyuan, keep flying forward.
The glutinous rice balls flew forward. Along the way, Jiang Xuan saw more tribes, and they were all moving towards the southern wilderness.
The more tribes he saw, the more Jiang Xuan's heart sank.
Once so many tribes all poured into the Southern Wilderness, they would have an immeasurable impact.
With so many tribes, how much forest must they occupy to feed them?
Can the tribes who originally lived in the Southern Wilderness forest allow them to occupy their own territory?
Anyway, the Vine tribe would never tolerate other tribes occupying the territory they had finally established.
Since you can't tolerate it, you can only fight.
It can be foreseen that if you want to survive in the Southern Wilderness in the future, the competition will be fierce and how difficult it will be.
"Go back!'
Jiang Xuan rode Tangyuan and flew for a certain distance, and then stopped moving forward because it was meaningless.
A great wave of migration has begun.
The Vine Tribe must prepare early. If it can withstand the wave, the Vine Tribe will become even stronger.
If they can't stand it, they will either follow the trend and migrate further south, or they will simply be wiped out.
The glutinous rice balls circled in the sky for half a circle, and then flew towards the direction of the Vine Tribe.
Along the way, Jiang Xuan frowned, looking at the scenery passing by on the ground and the migrating tribes.
Seeing that Jiang Xuan was in a bad mood, Maidong wisely closed his mouth, but his eyes were very worried.
After returning to the tribe, Jiang Xuan immediately summoned all important personnel and told them what he had seen.
In the bamboo house, Jiang Xuan said in a deep voice: "When the Jackal tribe appeared, I knew that this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.'
"We must be ready to fight other tribes at any time!"
"Starting from tomorrow, the two hunting teams will take turns to go hunting. The tribe must have enough warriors to guard it at all times."
"Yes, chief."
Uncaria and Stone Loach agreed one after another.
"Nan Xing, I will add thirty soldiers to your guard team. Place the hidden sentry farther away and pay special attention to the movement in the west. Once you find a tribe migrating over, immediately alert the tribe."
"yes!"
Nan Xing nodded solemnly, feeling the heavy pressure, but he didn't say much.
Jiang Xuan said to Chi Shao again: "Wu, I will send two people to help you. During this time, I will work hard for you to make more healing medicine. If there is a fight with other tribes, many people will be injured."
"give it to me.'
Chi Shao's expression was much calmer than the others.
"Old Blackstone, add ten more people to make more weapons.
"In the clothing workshop, we will also add ten more people to produce more clothing and animal skin backpacks as soon as possible.'
"A third of the breeding team and planting team will go to the other side of Feiyu River to develop planting and breeding. With the natural danger of Feiyu River, that side will be much safer than here in the future.'
"The fishing team is responsible for building more wooden boats and bamboo rafts to ensure that everyone in the tribe can quickly cross the river in case of an accident."
Under Jiang Xuan's series of orders, the entire Vine Tribe sped up, and everyone felt a sense of urgency.
After everyone left, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao were left in the room.
Chi Shao stayed behind on purpose because she knew that Jiang Xuan was under a lot of pressure.
This pressure, in other tribes, should have been borne by witches.
But in the Teng tribe, Jiang Xuan is the person with the highest say in the tribe, and everyone obeys him
Chi Shao walked up to Jiang Xuan, patted his back and said, "Xuan, don't worry too much, the Vine God will protect the tribe and keep it safe.'
Jiang Xuan raised his head and smiled at Chi Shao, but said nothing.
The Fujigami is certainly powerful, but in this wave of migration, who can guarantee that there won’t be a being more powerful than the Fujigami?
At that time, how can the Vine Tribe protect itself?
Chi Shao seemed to know Jiang Xuan's worries, but as a witch, she couldn't say that the Vine God might not be able to protect the tribe.
She could only sit with Jiang Xuan for a while, hoping to relieve his nervousness through this silent companionship.
After a while, Jiang Xuan stood up, his eyes becoming firm again.
He figured out that since he couldn't decide what would happen in the future, he should try his best to do what he should do and use his best condition to meet future challenges.
It's good to win, but even if you lose, you tried your best and won't regret it.
"Sister, it's time for me to go to work, thank you.
"What else can I say to my sister about thanking you? Just tell me whatever you need from me in the future."
"good."
Jiang Xuan stood up and left the bamboo house with Chi Shao.
Chi Shao needs to go back to make more medicine, while Jiang Xuan needs to deploy manpower and supervise the implementation of the orders just now.
To the south of the Western Wasteland, next to a mountain stream.
"Quack
A giant frog jumped into the water with a "pop", swam happily for a distance, and then returned to the shore.
This mountain stream is relatively shallow and the water is very clear. You can see the bottom at a glance.
"Boom!"
Huo Meng used his spear as a harpoon, accurately stabbed a big fish in the water, and then picked it up to the shore with quick eyes and hands.
Many of the warriors of the Frog Tribe are also spearing fish in the mountain streams like fire meng, while others are collecting various edible wild vegetables nearby.
More than a year has passed since the Frog Tribe embarked on their migration. Over the past year, they have encountered countless dangers, including nearly being wiped out several times.
Fortunately, the Frog Tribe survived and are getting closer and closer to the Southern Wilderness.
Of course, this doesn't come without a price.
The number of members of the Frog Tribe has increased from more than 500 at the beginning to less than 200, with more than half of them being casualties.
There are only about fifty giant frogs left that migrated with them.
Fortunately, the leader of the frog tribe, Huo Meng, and the shaman of the frog tribe are still alive.
As long as they're here, the frog tribe can stay together.
Otherwise, without totem gods, witches, and leaders, these frog tribe members would have dispersed long ago. Every time the frog tribe makes repairs on the way, they will choose a place with water.
Not only do the tribesmen need to drink water, but the giant frogs also need to soak their bodies with water, and then absorb the water into their bodies through their special skin.
"Snapped!"
Huo Meng smashed the big fish that had been stabbed to death, then washed and peeled it clean, impaled it with wooden sticks, and grilled it.
The migration journey was so difficult that they no longer had pottery to cook food with, so no matter what food they had, they could only eat it raw or roasted.
The frog tribe shaman sits next to a freshly lit fire
After the hardships along the way, he looks older on the outside, but he is still in good spirits.
During the migration, Wu suggested to Huo Meng more than once that he find a good place to settle down instead of traveling long distances, but Huo Meng insisted on going to the Southern Wilderness.
Now, the frog tribe wizard has given up the idea of settling in the Western Wilderness, because he knows that Huo Meng's goal has always been the Southern Wilderness and will not change.
The frog tribe shaman watched Huo Meng place the big fish next to the fire and asked him: "Chief, are we almost reaching the Southern Wilderness?" "It's almost there. We are already close to the Southern Wilderness. If we keep walking for a while, we should be there." .
Huo Meng captured another tourist not long ago. Through questioning, he learned that this place was not very far from the Southern Wilderness. No one knew how long it would take to travel.
At the same time, he noticed that there was a migrating tribe nearby, also heading towards the southern wilderness.
This gave Huo Meng a lot of confidence, because this tribe must not have gone as far as the Frog tribe, and they should know where the Southern Wilderness is.
"That's good, that's good,
The frog tribe witch breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of leaving. He wished he could go to the southern wilderness as soon as possible and find a place to stay.
Dusk fell quickly, and the people of the Frog tribe roasted the various foods they found and ate them among themselves.
Those giant frogs hunt all kinds of bugs next to mountain streams and in nearby forests.
After eating, Huo Meng asked some people to take turns keeping watch, while others quickly fell asleep in the temporary shelter built next to the fire.
Tomorrow, they will continue on their way until they reach Southern Wasteland or are killed on the way.
