On the night when the Rat Tribe returned to their ancestral land, Jiang Xuan received news from the Teng Shen.
"I didn't expect that a warrior from the Rat Tribe who he had conquered at random actually reunited the scattered Rat Tribe."
Jiang Xuan stood in front of the altar with a very surprised expression, because this kind of thing involves more luck.
"So, from now on we will have an affiliated tribe in the central part of the Southern Wilderness?"
"Yes." Shinto's voice was joyless and very calm.
Jiang Xuan thought carefully and said, "Teng Shen, I have a suggestion."
"explain."
Jiang Xuandao: "Vine God, you see, although our Vine tribe is developing very fast, it still takes a certain amount of time if we want to enter the central part of the country forcefully and not be afraid of pressure from other tribes. The Rat tribe is hated by everyone in the central part. Tribes are easily targeted by other tribes.”
"Although the Fuji God is powerful and can help defend the Rat Tribe, other tribes will also feel disgusted with us because of the Rat Tribe in the future."
"So, I think it's best to give them a patron saint like the Frog Tribe did, so that they can protect themselves, and prevent the Rat Tribe from exposing their relationship with our Vine Tribe. This will help us enter the club in the middle of the Southern Wilderness in the future."
Shen Teng said: "You mean, let me help them find a patron saint?"
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, just like the Frog God, as long as we control the patron saint of the rat tribe, we are not afraid that they will have other thoughts in the future."
"Just do as you say."
Shen Teng thought what Jiang Xuan said made sense and agreed with his idea.
Jiang Xuan said again: "Then...where should we find a patron saint for the Rat Tribe? How about going to Blackwater Lake again?"
The Frog God of the Frog Tribe was found in the Blackwater Swamp in the middle. That vast swamp is very mysterious, and there must be other god-level creatures in it.
However, the journey to Heishui Ze is long, and it is autumn now. Neither Jiang Xuan nor Teng Shen can leave the Teng Tribe. To go to Heishui Ze, they can only wait until the heavy snow in winter closes the mountain.
Shen Teng said: "Don't bother, just choose a giant rat with the best talent in the rat tribe and let it become a god."
Jiang Xuan asked doubtfully: "Does it take a long time to cultivate a god? Can the Rat Tribe afford it?"
"It won't take long. Doesn't the rat tribe have many enemies? Just choose two weaker enemy tribes, kill their gods, and then slowly infuse the soul and power into the giant rat."
Is there such an operation?
After Jiang Xuan heard about Shen Teng, he felt that everyone was stupid. Is it so easy to create a god?
Shen Teng seemed to know what Jiang Xuan was thinking: "Of course it's not that easy. This giant rat must be a descendant of the Rat God, and it must be extremely talented. Otherwise, if a large amount of divine power and soul are poured into it, if it cannot transform quickly..."
"What will happen?" Jiang Xuan asked curiously.
Shinto said calmly: "It will explode."
When Jiang Xuan heard the word "explosion", the scene where a giant rat was injected with a large amount of divine power and then exploded into pieces with a "boom" suddenly appeared in his mind, and his scalp felt numb.
Sure enough, quick fixes are unreliable and the risks are too great.
Jiang Xuan gave up the idea of letting Teng Shen turn the glutinous rice balls and crescent moon into gods, because if it failed, the glutinous rice balls and crescent moon would be gone.
Moreover, taking shortcuts may lead to temporary strength, but the achievements will definitely not be as high as those achieved through hard work.
After discussing some matters about the rat tribe with Shendeng, Jiang Xuan left the altar and returned to his yard.
It is already autumn, and there are many kinds of grains and vegetables in the vegetable garden, which look very pleasant.
Jiang Xuan walked into the vegetable garden, picked the ripe fruits and vegetables, then selected some of the good ones and sent them to Chishao's yard.
"Sister, these vegetables were picked from my yard and put here for you."
Jiang Xuan put the fruits and vegetables in a rattan basket in the house.
"good."
Chi Shao was picking herbs in the yard. After hearing Jiang Xuan's voice, she raised her head and showed him a gentle smile.
"Let me help you."
Jiang Xuan walked beside Chi Shao naturally, then rolled up his sleeves, helped pick leaves of an herb, and told Chi Shao some things inside and outside the tribe, as well as about the Central Rat Tribe.
After Chi Shao listened carefully, he looked up at Jiang Xuan and asked, "Xuan, will our Teng tribe move to the central part of the country in the future?"
As a witch of a tribe, she knew very well that the central region had more resources and was more suitable for the survival of the tribe.
But as a person, she has deep feelings for this territory that she has worked so hard to build, and she doesn't want to leave here and go to a strange place.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "If we can live here forever, of course we don't have to move to the middle, but we must develop to the middle, do you understand?"
Chi Shao frowned slightly and shook her head. She was just an indigenous tribesman and her vision was not that far-term.
Jiang Xuan continued to explain: "Sister, have you ever thought that as the population of our Vine tribe increases and the demand becomes greater, various supplies may not be enough in the future?"
Chi Shao looked at him and seemed to understand a little, but said nothing.
"A large tribe, especially a large tribe that can provide all the tribesmen with enough food, clothing, houses to live in, and all kinds of supplies, needs a huge amount of supplies."
"Compared to the central part, our side has more mountains, less flat land, and a cold climate. If we rely on hunting and gathering, we simply can't support a large tribe."
"We have opened up countless lands and vigorously developed planting, breeding, hunting, fishing, etc., and we have also made deals with various tribes to prevent our people from living a decent life."
"But as the number of our tribe increases, and now various natural disasters have increased, it will be difficult for our tribe to live a decent life with what we currently have in our territory."
"Therefore, we have formed a fleet, and in the future we will also form a long-distance trading team like the Black Tooth Tribe to obtain more resources from other places, so that the strength of our Vine Tribe will continue to grow, and our people will live a good life. .”
"So, do you understand?"
Jiang Xuan looked at Chi Shao. This was the first time he told her the tribe's future plan in detail.
Chi Shao thought carefully for a moment, then nodded and said, "In other words, we can always live here, but we have to go to the central part to grab more things."
Jiang Xuandao: "You want to say that...that's fine...but we try not to rob, but to get what we need through transactions."
"After all, relying on plunder will not last long. Relying on trading and exchanging what is needed is a better choice."
Chi Shao asked again: "What if those big tribes are unwilling to trade with us, and even robbed our goods?"
For tribal people, robbery is the lowest cost and the fastest way to obtain resources. Chi Shao knows this very well.
Jiang Xuan said calmly: "Then beat them until they dare not rob, beat them until they voluntarily make a deal with us!"
Jiang Xuan's voice was not loud, but he had an absolute domineering air.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Chi Shao was also ignited by Jiang Xuan's words. Although she usually behaves very quietly, don't forget that in addition to being a witch, she is also a powerful warrior.
She was not good at things like planning the future, and she was never afraid of fighting.
