Chapter 355 I am here to help you

In the wooden house where the Giant Claw tribe lives.

"Captain Uncaria, eat some wild fruits first, and I'll grill some meat for you."

Although Shichan was the leader, he was still a little panicked when facing Gou Teng, the leader of the Teng tribe hunting team, and could only use busyness to cover up his inner panic.

Gou Teng didn't care. He sat on a tree stump beside the fire pit and looked around the decorations and utensils in the wooden house.

Shishao's wooden house looked very simple. It didn't even have a table or chair. Apart from a few animal skins hanging on the wall, there was almost nothing of value to be seen.

Is the Giant Claw Tribe so poor? Uncaria was very confused about this.

You know, the Giant Claw Tribe controls the gold mines. Logically speaking, Stone Shovel, as the leader of the Giant Claw Tribe, should not be so poor.

Although the Giant Claw Tribe had to pay some gold as tribute to the Vine Tribe every month, the Vine Tribe did not treat the Giant Claw Tribe unfairly and would give back large amounts of salt, pottery and other supplies every time.

In addition, the Giant Claw Tribe can often dig up some rare stones and medicinal herbs underground, so their lives should be more comfortable than those of ordinary small tribes.

Uncaria pondered for a moment and asked Shichan, "Chief Shichan, why don't you put a pottery tripod in your fire pit to cook food?"

Shi Chan said awkwardly: "I don't have a pottery tripod here."

"That's impossible. I remember that the Teng tribe gave you two pottery tripods as a gift before."

Shi Chan was even more embarrassed. He tried to cover it up clumsily, "I don't like stewed food, so I gave the pottery tripod to Wu."

"So that's how it is."

Uncaria nodded but didn't expose it.

In fact, due to the existence of the thorn vine, the Vine Tribe had long known that Stone Chan, the leader pushed up by the Vine Tribe, would have a hard time in the Giant Claw Tribe, but no one expected that he would end up in such a miserable state.

This situation may be caused, on the one hand, by the fact that the witch of the Giant Claw tribe is relatively powerful and holds the resources and hearts of the entire tribe in his hands. On the other hand, it also shows that Shishao's ability is relatively poor. Although he has the status of a leader, he cannot get any benefits at all.

However, there are always two sides to every coin.

For the Vine Tribe, it is a good thing to have someone like Shi Chan as the leader of the Giant Claw Tribe, because he has no ability and no ambition, so 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's shaman, and the Giant Claw Tribe's shaman has hatred towards the Vine Tribe.

When the Vine Tribe is strong, the Giant Claw Tribe witch might lie dormant obediently, but once the Vine Tribe shows signs of an accident or weakness, he will probably lead the entire Giant Claw Tribe in rebellion at the first opportunity, or even attack together with the hostile forces.

This hidden danger must be solved as soon as possible! Uncaria took a look at the three warrior patterns on Shichan's face and pondered for a moment. He believed that the reason why Shichan could not control the Giant Claw Tribe was largely because his own strength was too low.

The tribesmen admire the strong. If it is an ordinary small tribe, it is okay for a three-color warrior to be the leader, but Shi Chan was chosen by the Vine Tribe, and even the strength of the three-color was forcibly enhanced by the Giant Claw God, which is far from enough to convince the others.

Uncaria moved closer to Stone Shovel, then asked mysteriously, "Chief Stone Shovel, do you want to improve your strength?"

Shi Chan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course I do!"

"But what's the point of thinking? I've worked so hard for so long, but I'm still a two-color warrior."

Shichan's expression was a bit bitter. Warriors also have different talents. Those with good talents will improve their strength quickly through hard work and diligence. Those with poor talents will improve their strength more slowly even if they put in the same effort.

Shichan is one of those people with relatively poor talent, so despite his efforts he is only a three-color warrior until now, and it is still a long way to go for him to become a four-color warrior.

In this situation, Shi Chan's desire for strength is extremely strong.

Uncaria hooked Shichan's shoulder affectionately: "The Teng tribe can help you."

Shichan 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, like the Power Mushroom and the Swift Mushroom. As long as you eat it, you can quickly increase your strength."

"Oh, by the way, there is another kind of frozen 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 become a four-color warrior in no time."

After hearing what Uncaria Rhododendron said, Shichan's breathing became rapid.

He dreams of becoming stronger and gaining real power, so that those who look down on him can see clearly who is the leader of the Giant Claw Tribe.

Shishao grabbed Uncaria's hand as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"As long as I can break through to become a four-color warrior, I will do anything!"

Uncaria's face twitched, and then he naturally pried open Shishao's hands. With his strength as a five-color warrior, Shishao could not hold on even if he tried his best.

"Don't worry. I just said that we are here to help you. As long as you are loyal to the Teng Tribe, you will get the magic mushrooms and the ice lotus root. Everything that belongs to you will not escape."

"The magic mushrooms and frozen lotus roots will be delivered to you in a while. Now I will help you deal with those disobedient members of the Giant Claw Tribe."

When Shichan heard this, he suddenly became nervous: "Are you going to kill them?"

Uncaria shook his head: "Why kill people? We in the Teng tribe will never kill people for no reason."

"It's good that they didn't kill anyone." Shi Chan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "How does Leader Gou Teng want to deal with them?"

Uncaria said slowly, "You all know about our Teng tribe going to the central region to open up new land, right?"

Shi Chan nodded: "Of course I know. I heard that people from the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Frog Tribe also went there."

Unclawed Teng said, "Yes, people from the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Frog Tribe also went, but the manpower is still not enough, so the leader asked me to go to each subordinate tribe to recruit thirty warriors and thirty war beasts to help in the central part."

"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 four-color warrior, wouldn't it be much easier to control the Giant Claw Tribe in the future?"

Shi Chan nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong and quickly shook his head: "Chief Hook Teng, our Giant Claw Tribe is already relatively weak. If we transfer the 30 strongest warriors away, the strength of the tribe will be even weaker. No, no..."

Unclaw saw Shishao's reaction, so he immediately frowned: "I am not discussing with you, the order comes from Chief Xuan, as a subordinate tribe, you must obey unconditionally, unless the Giant Claw Tribe wants to betray the Teng Tribe!"

Shichan was frightened by Gouteng's expression and tone. He took two steps back with a pale face. His lips trembled a few times. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

Seeing that Shi Chan was in a hopeless situation, Gou Teng suddenly felt that there was no point in scaring him.

"Anyway, whether you like it or not, I will definitely take away the thirty warriors and thirty giant claw beasts today. This will also be of great benefit to you, unless you want to be a cowardly leader for the rest of your life."

After hearing what Gou Teng said, Shi Chan's face turned pale and blue, and he was obviously irritated. If given a choice, who would be willing to be a loser all his life?

Shi Chan stood there, thinking carefully for a moment, and then said in a trembling voice: "I... I will help you choose the warriors and the giant claw beast."

A smile appeared on Uncaria's face. He patted his shovel and said, "That's right. Come on, take me to find the witch of your Giant Claw Tribe."

Shishao nodded, plucked up the courage, and took the hooked vine into a hole in the corner of the wooden house.

The two of them were drilling in and out of the maze-like underground caves. Many places were pitch black, and only the Giant Claw tribe members 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 light of the fire, there was also natural light leaking in from the ground.

Uncaria raised his head curiously and looked around. He discovered that the natural light was leaking in from a natural rock crack above. Combined with this underground cave hall with a drainage system, the design was quite clever.

Then, Uncaria took another look at the entire cave hall.

He found that this place was much better than the wooden house where Shishovel lived.

The walls were decorated with various animal skins and horns, there were two pottery tripods in the fire pit, and next to the fire pit were tables and stools that were obviously imitations of those made by the Teng tribe, and animal skins were covered on the tables and chairs.

There were several painted pottery soup bowls and a stack of exquisite pottery bowls on the table. Gou Teng even saw two bronze knife coins with very sharp edges, which were obviously often used as knives.

From these details, we can also see that the good things of the Giant Claw Tribe were indeed occupied by the witch, and the leader Stone Shovel was in a very miserable situation.

"Welcome Chief Uncaria to the Giant Claw Tribe."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The witch of the Giant Claw tribe was quite dissatisfied with Uncaria's behavior of looking around everywhere, 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 his gaze and saluted, saying, "Greetings to the witch of the Giant Claw Tribe."

No matter what you think in your heart, you still have to show proper respect to the witch of a tribe.

When the Giant Claw Tribe witch saw this scene, his inner dissatisfaction was slightly relieved, so he invited Uncaria to sit down by the fire.

"I wonder if Chief Uncaria has something important to tell me?"

Uncaria didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly: "Chief 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 wasteland."

The Giant Claw Tribe witch's face suddenly turned ugly. This was simply unacceptable to him.

"Captain Hook Teng, our Giant Claw tribe is weak and our population is small. I'm afraid we can't send thirty warriors and thirty war beasts at once..."

Uncaria's eyes turned cold, and he stared at the witch of the Giant Claw Tribe and said, "This is the order of Chief Xuan. The Thornfly Tribe and the Otter Tribe are cooperating very well. Does the Giant Claw Tribe intend to disobey? Or have you already planned to betray the Teng Tribe?"

As soon as the accusation of betrayal was put on him, the Giant Claw Tribe witch's face suddenly looked as if he could not bear it anymore, and cold sweat instantly broke out.

If the charge of treason was really proven, with the strength of the Vine Tribe, the Giant Claw Tribe would probably be destroyed in an instant, without even the chance to resist.

"No... Chief Uncaria, you misunderstood. I didn't say I would disobey orders, but we don't have many warriors in the Giant Claw Tribe... Can you send fewer of them?"

Uncaria said firmly: "No, if Chief Xuan says thirty warriors, then it means thirty warriors, and they must be the strongest group of warriors!"

"this……"

The Giant Claw tribe witch struggled for a long time, and after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he finally accepted the order reluctantly.

"Okay, Shishao, you take Chief Hooked Vine to select thirty warriors and thirty giant claw beasts and have them go to the Vine Tribe to help. I'm not feeling well, so I won't go with you."

Shishao nodded like a chick pecking at rice. He had no confidence in front of the powerful witch and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Gou Teng turned back and said, "Our leader Xuan admires the ability of leader Shi Chan very much. I believe that under the leadership of leader Shi Chan and Wu, the Giant Claw Tribe will surely get better and better."

After saying this, Uncaria left the cave with the stone shovel without looking back.

In the cave hall, the witch of the Giant Claw tribe stared at Uncaria's back, his face turned ashen, and a surge of anger rose to his head.

Gou Teng's words clearly meant that he should share power with Shi Chan, which was unacceptable to him.

But after calming down a little, he felt very powerless again.

The Vine Tribe is too strong, so strong that small tribes like the Giant Claw Tribe have no chance of resistance and even have to rely on the Vine Tribe to survive.

Now that the people of the Teng tribe have spoken, no matter how reluctant he is or how much he hates Shi Chan, he can no longer hold all the power in his own hands as he did before.

Otherwise, the Vine Tribe would have plenty of ways to deal with the Giant Claw Tribe, and even his position as a witch might not be secure.

…

On the other side, after obtaining authorization from the witch, Shi Chan successfully gathered all the warriors and giant claw beasts of the entire tribe, and selected the thirty strongest warriors and thirty giant claw beasts, and asked them to follow Gouteng back to the Teng tribe.

Although these Giant Claw Tribe warriors were extremely reluctant, under the watchful eyes of more than a hundred ferocious Vine Tribe hunting team warriors, no one dared to stand up and object.

Uncaria said to the thirty Giant Claw warriors: "I know most of you don't want to leave the Giant Claw tribe, but I want to tell you that this trip to the central region is a very rare opportunity for you."

"If you don't have this opportunity, you will only be able to wander around in the northern forests for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to see the wider world!"

"The Central Region is far richer than you think. There is endless food, endless prey, and all kinds of magical fruits that can enhance your strength."

"Once you get there, if you're lucky, maybe one of you will become a four-color warrior, or even a five-color warrior. There will also be beauties from every tribe for you 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 the tribesmen value most.

Although the thirty Giant Claw tribe warriors were skeptical about what Uncaria had promised, their resistance had indeed decreased a lot.

If the central part of the Southern Wilderness is really as good as Uncaria Rhododendron said, living there doesn't seem to be unacceptable.

"I'll tell you the details later. Let's set off now and get to the Teng Tribe as soon as possible!"

Gouteng did not give them time to think and directly ordered these warriors to ride on the giant claw beasts to the Teng tribe, and sent more than 30 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 subordinate tribe.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

Giant dragonflies took off into the air, and soon disappeared into the horizon with the hunting team of the Teng tribe.

Shi Chan watched the giant dragonfly disappear and felt a sense of loss in his heart. However, when he thought of Uncaria's promise, his heart was filled with excitement and he wished he could improve his strength immediately and become the real leader of the tribe.
