Chapter 214 Shen Teng overcomes the tribulation
After the old witch came, the crowd made way for the old witch to go to the front.
"What kind of ship is that?" the old witch asked doubtfully.
"The leader said that it is called a sailboat, and it can sail with the help of the wind."
The warrior on the side answered the old witch enthusiastically, and at the same time he was proud of the new water vehicle of the Vine Tribe.
"A sailing ship that can sail with the help of wind..."
The old witch chanted again, and his eyes became more complicated.
There are so many new and good things in the Vine Tribe, and they appear in endlessly.
Coupled with the extremely powerful totem god and the brave and fearless warriors, the old witch seemed to have seen a large tribe gradually taking shape in this remote place.
If these new things from the Vine Tribe can be brought back to the Eagle Tribe, what changes will happen to the Eagle Tribe?
The old witch suddenly thought of this problem and was very moved.
However, when he thought about how to achieve it, he became discouraged.
Because there are so many new things in the Vine Tribe, and whether it is planting, breeding, clothing, shipbuilding, making swords and coins, etc., they all require rich experience and technology.
Although the old witch has stayed in the Vine Tribe for a long time, the only things he can really bring back to the Eagle Tribe are some furry things.
It is very difficult to really let the Eagle Tribe master these new technologies and new things, unless all the people from the Vine Tribe who have these technologies and experience are tied back to the Eagle Tribe.
But that is impossible. If the old witch dares to take action, Shen Teng will directly use him and the giant eagle as nourishment.
What's more, the old witch has been here for so long and has feelings for him, so he is unwilling to do such a face-breaking thing.
"Well, anyway, I am no longer a shaman from the Eagle Tribe. Why do I want to do so much? If I can complete the sketch of the Great Wilderness, it is already very good."
The old witch shook his head and stopped looking at the sailboat on the river. He turned and walked back. His pace was much slower than usual, and his back was even more stooped...
…
On June 15th, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and there were only a few scattered white clouds in the sky, which could not provide any cover to the forest below.
Jiang Xuan was sitting under the eaves. Not far away was the pond in the yard. The lotus flowers in the pond were already in full bloom.
The ice lotus root has finally come to life in the Teng tribe. Although it is not as sweet and transparent as the ice lotus root grown by the Otter tribe before, the taste is much better than the ordinary lotus root, and it tastes cool.
In this hot summer day, eating a few pieces of ice lotus root is like eating frozen watermelon, which makes people feel very refreshed.
"Huhuhu..."
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, blocking the sun.
"Rumble..."
In an instant, the light dimmed, thunder rolled, and silver snakes danced wildly.
"It is going to rain!"
Jiang Xuan hurriedly got up and went to the yard to collect clothes.
Summer is like this, it rains when it says it will rain, without any warning and without any human touch. It can make people soaked in the blink of an eye, and it is inevitable that clothes exposed to the sun outside will be soaked.
However, after Jiang Xuan took his clothes back into the house, after waiting for a long time, not a drop of rain fell, but the sky became darker and darker, and the thunder became louder and louder.
"what happened?"
Jiang Xuan looked at the dark sky and felt panicked.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, on the stone mountain, the fog suddenly dissipated, and a new vine grew toward the sky, glowing green.
Immediately afterwards, all the giant dragonflies flew up. They did not fly around the stone mountain as usual, but flew to the east coast, away from the stone mountain.
"Oracle, everyone stay away from the sacred mountain..."
Chi Shao ran out of the yard, shouting as she ran.
The witch doctor disciples, as well as a large number of soldiers from the guard team, all left the bamboo forest, and even those who were close to the bamboo forest were driven away.
"Roar……"
Black Wind Rhino Crescent Moon ran with Jiang Xuan on his back, and the glutinous rice balls stopped flying. Instead, they jumped and swayed along, which looked quite funny.
When they ran into the wide crop field, Jiang Xuan finally had time to ask Chi Shao: "Sister, what's going on?"
Chi Shao took a few breaths and said, "The Vine God is about to survive the tribulation."
"Overcoming the tribulation?" Jiang Xuan opened his eyes wide, thinking of some possibility.
"That's right, it's just what you think. Once it is over, the Vine God will have the ability of the totem god of the big tribe."
"That's great!"
Jiang Xuan was very excited, because the stronger the Vine God, the safer the Vine Tribe would be, and they would be able to develop without any scruples in the future.
However, Chi Shao was not that excited, and even had a hint of worry in his eyes, because the Great Divine Tribulation was not so easy to overcome, otherwise, the totem god of the Black Snake Tribe would not be so fearful.
She could only pray that Fujigami could survive this disaster smoothly.
At this time, on the stone mountain, Shen Teng has fully awakened, his whole body is full of divine light, and the terrifying divine power is surging like a vast ocean, which is very terrifying.
At this moment, all the creatures nearby were trembling with fear, like a leaf in the vast ocean, worried that they would be swept away by the waves at any time.
"Crack!"
After brewing for a long time, a thick bolt of lightning finally struck down and fell on the divine vine, breaking the top vines and causing the entire stone mountain to shake.
"Crack, crackle..."
Immediately afterwards, lightning struck down one after another. These lightning bolts were so terrifying and so thick that with each strike, a section of the vine must be broken off and burned black.
"Rumble..."
The tops of the stone mountains were shattered by lightning, and rocks rolled down one after another. Fortunately, the people from the Vine tribe had already evacuated, otherwise they would have been injured by these falling rocks.
Every time it is struck by lightning, the divine vine will be chopped off and part of the vine will be scorched. The divine light will become weaker and weaker, and the stone mountain will become shorter and shorter.
"We must succeed, Fujigami!"
Chi Shao and others looked up at Shen Teng Dujie, and everyone was very nervous.
If Shen Teng successfully overcomes the tribulation, the Teng tribe will grow rapidly and may even become a large tribe in a short period of time.
But if Shen Teng fails to overcome the tribulation, the Teng tribe will lose the protection of Shen Teng, and the consequences can be imagined.
Above the sky, dark clouds are still gathering and getting thicker and thicker.
It was clearly a sunny day, but the ground was getting darker and darker, like night.
Bolts of lightning flashed through the darkness from time to time and landed on the stone mountain.
"boom!"
Finally, the stone mountain could not bear it any longer, and everything above halfway collapsed, and huge boulders rolled down.
This tall stone mountain had stood there for who knows how many years, but today it collapsed under the thunder.
After the stone mountain collapsed, sections of the divine vine were cut off, the jasper-like branches and leaves were burnt black, and the divine light became weaker and weaker.
In front of the bamboo house, the old witch stared in the direction of the stone mountain, frowning: "Can't I survive it after all?"
It is inherently more difficult for plant creatures to become gods than animals, because except for those magical plants, most plants can only stay in one place.
For a vine to become a god, it needs to survive countless years and encounter great opportunities.
After finally becoming a powerful totem god, it would be a pity if he fell into a thunderstorm like this.
"Rumble..."
"Crack..."
The lightning disaster continued, and Shendou struggled to guide part of the lightning power into the ground through the vines and roots.
But the thunder tribulation was so terrifying. The thick lightning struck down one after another, giving Shen Teng no chance to breathe.
Gradually, the towering stone mountains were chopped shorter and shorter, and the huge divine vines were also chopped shorter and shorter. The charred vines and gravel were mixed together and fell to the ground.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the dark clouds in the sky finally gradually dissipated, and the sunshine fell on the earth again.
The people of the Vine Tribe also breathed a sigh of relief. The scene just now was too terrifying. Most of the people could only cover their ears with their hands and squat on the ground, waiting for the end of the thunder disaster.
However, when they looked in the direction of the stone mountain, they were horrified to find that the towering stone mountain had been chopped down to only one big stone, and only half of the huge divine vine was left with its charred main stem, which was still smoking.
Could it be that Shen Teng failed to cross the tribulation and was hacked to death?
Everyone's faces became very pale, and no one could accept this result.
"Teng Shen..."
Chi Shao was the first to react. She turned pale and stumbled towards the half-charred divine vine.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xuan hurriedly followed, followed closely by other tribesmen.
There were piles of rocks on the ground, making it difficult to pass. Jiang Xuan immediately led the soldiers to move the rocks away, and carefully put away the broken and burnt vines.
Even though it was burnt black, even if only half of it was left, the divine vine was still huge, and there were still sporadic flames burning in some places.
Chi Shao knelt in front of Shen Teng and called Shen Teng over and over again. However, she received no response.
Jiang Xuan stood behind Chi Shao, his heart sinking continuously.
I originally thought that the Vine Tribe would take off soon, but no one expected that this would happen.
Once they lose the protection of the totem god, any small tribe can pose a threat to the Vine Tribe.
Not only that, the people of the Vine tribe will also become confused.
Because the Vine Tribe has developed so fast, the current population comes from many tribes, many of which are converted from members of hostile tribes, and there are still many conflicts between them.
When Fujigami is around, these conflicts can be suppressed and everyone can work together for a better life.
Once Fujigami is gone, all kinds of conflicts will gradually break out.
By that time, the Vine Tribe will probably fall apart due to internal and external troubles.
This is a result that Jiang Xuan absolutely cannot accept.
Jiang Xuan scanned the crowd with the corner of his eyes, and saw that some of the tribesmen's expressions were not quite right.
This made Jiang Xuan feel even heavier. If Teng Shen's life and death hadn't been determined yet, some people might have started to riot, right?
Chi Shao knelt in front of the charred half of the divine vine, and tried various methods to call the vine god, and even chanted the magic spell in a low voice.
The result made her very desperate. Teng Shen still didn't respond at all, and Chi Shao was so anxious that tears fell down.
For a shaman, nothing is more devastating than losing a totem god.
At this moment, a passage opened among the crowd, and the old witch slowly walked over.
Jiang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Old witch, you are well-informed. Please help find out the condition of the Teng Shen."
The old witch nodded without saying anything and walked to the blackened divine vine.
Seeing the old witch approaching, Chi Shao wiped her tears and made way for him.
The old witch comforted him: "Chi Shao, don't be anxious, let me take a look."
Chi Shao nodded, then looked at the old witch with tearful eyes, hoping for a miracle.
The old witch took a deep breath, then placed a hand on the blackened divine vine and slowly closed his eyes.
Soon, the majestic witch power surged toward the charred divine vine along his palm. The sporadic flames on the vine were extinguished instantly after touching the witch power.
After a long time, the old witch opened his eyes again and took back his witch power.
He glanced at the crowd, but did not announce the answer directly. Instead, he patted Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao and motioned for them to follow him.
Jiang Xuan's heart sank again. This time, he really hit rock bottom.
The two followed the old witch into the bamboo forest and walked to Jiang Xuan's yard.
Chi Shao's yard was badly damaged by the flying rocks. Jiang Xuan's yard was far away from the stone mountain, but it did not suffer much damage. Only a few small pieces of gravel fell in the yard.
Jiang Xuan asked: "Old witch, how is Teng Shen doing now?"
Chi Shao also looked at the old witch intently, her eyes very anxious.
"If we look at the situation of other totem gods, your Vine God should have failed to overcome the tribulation."
The old witch's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Chi Shao's eyes darken as he still harbored hope. He staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
Jiang Xuan quickly supported Chi Shao with quick eyes and hands, and said comfortingly: "Sister, don't be anxious, just listen to what the old witch has to say."
"That's right, Chi Shao, don't worry yet."
The old witch pondered for a while and said: "If it were the totem god of other tribes, if it encountered this situation, I dare say that it would definitely be dead, but your totem god is different."
"Its main stem, branches and leaves were indeed chopped to death, but the roots deeply rooted in the earth are still there and are not completely dead."
Jiang Xuan suddenly realized and said: "It's like my sister was possessed by witchcraft. She looked dead on the surface, but can she actually come back to life?"
The old witch nodded and said: "If there are no accidents, it should be possible."
"That's great!"
After listening to the old witch's words, there was light in Chi Shao's eyes again, and Jiang Xuan's heart that had hit rock bottom also improved a little.
"However, I want to remind you."
The old witch's expression became solemn: "No one knows whether or when your Vine God will come back to life. Whether his strength will become stronger or weaker after he comes back to life."
"So, you must find a way to stabilize all the people in the Vine tribe and scare the people from outside the tribe, otherwise..."
The old witch didn't say the next words, but Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao both understood.
They must be prepared that the Fuji God will not be able to protect the tribe for a long time, or even in the future.
Jiang Xuan thought for a while and said: "After we go out later, we will unite and tell everyone that the Vine God is only sleeping temporarily and will wake up soon to protect the Vine Tribe again."
The old witch nodded, this method can temporarily stabilize people's hearts.
Jiang Xuan said to Chi Shao again: "Sister, cheer up, the tribe needs you now."
"When the Deer Tribe was wiped out, we were able to survive and establish a Vine Tribe that was larger than the Deer Tribe. Now, our situation is much better than before, and we will definitely be able to weather the storm!"
After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, Chi Shao's broken emotions slowly dissipated, and her rationality gradually returned.
She said seriously: "Xuan, don't worry, I won't hold you back."
"I trust you!"
Jiang Xuan hugged Chi Shao, patted her back gently, and then let go.
"Let's go, the tribe is still waiting for us."
Jiang Xuan straightened his clothes, then straightened his back and walked outside with his head held high.
