Chapter 161 Finally arrived in the Southern Wilderness!

Half a month later, the Teng tribe finally settled more than 1,500 captives.

Although food was in short supply, at least they could eat half full and have energy to work.

Neat rows of wooden houses appeared in the forest south of the Teng tribe. Although they were rather rough, they were all built with big trees, so they were very sturdy and relatively spacious, and could provide complete shelter from wind and rain.

The next step is to open up more land.

The Teng tribe urgently manufactured a large number of farm tools for the captives to use in reclaiming wasteland.

During the land reclamation process, wild vegetables, insects, and edible plant tubers were all collected and became food for the captives.

Afterwards, batches of fast-growing vegetable seeds were sown on the newly reclaimed wasteland.

It won't be long before these wastelands are full of vegetables, providing food for the captives.

If you plant it somewhere else, you will have to worry about insect infestation.

Because there are so many insects in the summer, most leafy vegetables will be bitten by insects and be riddled with holes before they even grow up.

But these newly opened wastelands were not afraid of insects, and the captives even wished there were more insects so that they would have meat to eat.

In the eyes of the tribesmen, insects have always been meat, and few people would dislike them.

“Boom…”

“Clatter…”

Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and strong winds blew, and soon it started to rain heavily.

"Everyone go back to the house!"

Because the rain was too heavy, the Teng tribe warriors guarding the captives had to let them go back to take shelter from the rain.

The prisoners quickly ran back with their tools because the big raindrops were hitting them so hard that they couldn't open their eyes.

After returning to the wooden house, all the prisoners placed their tools against the wall as required, then took off their wet clothes and hung them by the fire to dry.

Wearing wet clothes is not only uncomfortable, but also easy to get sick over time. This is the experience that the tribesmen have gained after being frequently caught in the rain.

After hanging up the clothes, the prisoners either squatted or sat, staring at the heavy rain outside in a daze.

The house was newly built, with the roof covered with several layers of bark and thatch, and it did not leak.

The captives all felt a little uncomfortable because this house was better than the ones they had lived in before in the Jackal Tribe.

Not to mention the fact that they had to sleep in the open air, suffer from hunger, cold, sun and rain during migration.

A young prisoner walked to the door, stretched out his hand, and let the rain dripping from the eaves hit his palm, then slide along the edge of his palm, over the back of his hand, and finally fall to the ground.

He enjoyed this feeling, but at the same time, he felt a little dazed.

He didn't know from when on, but his hostility towards the Teng tribe gradually faded.

However, he didn't dare to say such words out loud and could only keep them in his heart.

Maybe, it was because the Teng Tribe treated them better than they imagined.

When they were first captured, most of them were in despair.

They believed that they would either be killed by the Vine Tribe or eaten as food.

But no one thought that the Teng tribe just let them work, gave them houses to live in, and gave them food to eat. Some people even received medical treatment when they were sick or injured.

It's like a dream, it's hard to believe.

Summer rain comes quickly and goes away quickly.

They rested for about an hour and the rain gradually stopped.

Outside, the warriors of the Teng tribe shouted, "The rain has stopped, come out to work!"

The prisoners took down the almost dried clothes hanging by the fire, put them on, picked up their tools, and walked outside.

Soon, the forest was filled with busy figures again.

…

In May and June, the Teng tribe worked hard for food, supplementing their food consumption by hunting, fishing, and gathering wild vegetables and fruits.

The breeding and planting areas also provided a lot of food, barely enough to fill the stomachs of more than 2,500 people.

During these two months, several small tribes from the Western Wilderness migrated here.

The extremely tall vine wall and the increasingly unfathomable power of the divine vine made these small tribes give up the idea of ​​attacking the vine tribe and instead look for suitable places to live elsewhere.

At the end of June, many vegetables in the fields began to ripen, and there were more wild fruits in the mountains.

It was not until this time that the food pressure on the Teng tribe was relieved.

The food crops planted by the Teng tribe are growing very well. For example, red rice, black beans, round potatoes, bamboo wheat, etc. have begun to bear fruit.

As long as they can hold on for another month or two and wait for the crops to mature, the food crisis of the Teng tribe can be truly resolved.

…

July 15th.

A group of ragged, pale, skinny and scarred tribesmen came from the Western Wilderness and stepped into the lush forest of the Southern Wilderness.

"Finally we've reached the Southern Wilds!"

“Quack…”

Huo Meng knelt on the wet ground, breathing the moist air, looking at the gurgling spring water not far away, and tears instantly flowed down his face.

Behind him, more than 150 members of the Frog Tribe were equally excited.

Many people even hugged their tribesmen or the giant frog and cried loudly.

They set out from the heart of the Western Wilderness and headed south, which took them a year and a half.

When they set out, they had more than 500 tribesmen and a large number of giant frogs.

But now, there are only about 150 of them and more than 20 giant frogs. It is so tragic.

There were even several times when even Huo Meng felt that he might not be able to go on, let alone others.

Fortunately, they were lucky, and with the help of the terrible frog poison, Huo Meng led them to escape danger time and time again, and finally reached the Southern Wilderness.

After crying for a while, Huo Meng raised his head and wiped his tears.

Because he knew very well that although the most difficult journey had been completed, whether the Frog Tribe could survive in the Southern Wilderness was another huge challenge.

The Frog Tribe wizard looked even older, but his mentality was better than before, at least he was no longer so pessimistic.

"Chief, where should we go now?"

Huo Meng stood up and said to the witch: "The good places should have been occupied by other tribes. Let's find a more remote place that is suitable for giant frogs to survive, settle down first, and take it easy."

Huo Meng paused, and then said: "You can also inquire about the location of the Vine Tribe. If we can get their help, it should be much easier for the Frog Tribe to gain a foothold in the Southern Wilderness."

Wu nodded and said, "This is the only way."

The people of the Frog Tribe rested for a while in the forest, drank some water, and then continued on their way.

This time, they are going to find a suitable place to live.

Previously, they caught a few tourists and through questioning, they found out that this was already the territory of the Southern Wilderness.

After walking further south for a while, they became even more certain of this.

The current environment in the Western Wilderness is generally dry, even the wind is dry.

It is different in the Southern Wilderness. The soil in the forest is moist, and even the air is moist. Even the stones in the forest are covered with thick moss, and you can squeeze out water if you grab a handful of it.

There are streams and springs everywhere you go, and the water resources are extremely abundant.

The giant frogs were so happy that their calls became louder. They liked this humid environment.

The members of the Frog Tribe were also in a good mood, but the long migration journey had taught them a lot.

Faced with the unfamiliar Southern Wilderness, they did not let down their guard, but walked cautiously, always on guard against possible dangers.

Along the way, they also met some people from other tribes, but under the leadership of Huo Meng, they tried their best to avoid them and not to conflict with them.

There are only so many people left in the Frog Tribe, so they must conserve their strength and be cowardly when necessary.

The Frog Tribe walked and stopped like this, bypassing places already occupied by other tribes. It took them seven or eight days to finally find an unowned forest.

This forest is relatively remote and the ground is uneven. The only good thing about it is that there is a pond that is not even a lake and is overgrown with weeds.

For a place like this, any larger tribe would simply look down upon it.

But Huo Meng was quite satisfied with this place.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

A place with a good environment is certainly suitable for living, but the competition is also fierce. With the current strength of the Frog Tribe, what can it use to compete with other tribes? Living in such a place with relatively poor conditions can help avoid conflicts with other tribes as much as possible and recuperate.

That wild pond is useless to other tribes, but it provides a shelter for the remaining twenty or so giant frogs of the frog tribe, where they can survive and reproduce.

Huo Meng stood beside the fire pond, watching the giant frogs jumping into the pond, and said to the witch: "This place is very suitable for the current frog tribe to live in. If the frog tribe can grow stronger in the future, we will go and grab a better place."

The frog tribe witch nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Huo Meng led the members of the Frog Tribe to choose a relatively flat piece of land and began to clear weeds and thorns, cut down trees, and build houses.

…

Southern Wilderness, Teng Tribe.

After several months of living together, most of the more than 1,500 captives obtained from the Giant Lizard Tribe have accepted the reality and are content to work in the Vine Tribe.

Some of them even developed a liking for the Teng Tribe and wanted to join the tribe and become true members of the Teng Tribe.

Over at the second settlement, most of the more than 500 captives captured from the Jackal Tribe have begun to regard the Vine Tribe as their home, because the Vine Tribe has given them the stable life they have always dreamed of.

Except for the Raptor Tribe, all other tribes that migrated from the Western Wilderness were small tribes.

With the existence of the vine wall and the vine god, these small tribes dare not rashly provoke the vine tribe.

The Teng tribe entered a period of relative stability both internally and externally.

Jiang Xuan can finally fulfill his promise.

Before the arrival of the Giant Lizard Tribe, the old witch wanted a relatively large piece of high-quality stone to carve the Great Wilderness Hundred Herbs Map.

But at that time, Jiang Xuan had no time to accompany the old witch to the Rabbit Tribe.

Now, he finally had time, so he planned to accompany the old witch on a trip.

Jiang Xuan explained the affairs of the tribe to Chishao and others.

Then goods such as salt and pottery were prepared.

Because the high-quality stone was very heavy, Jiang Xuan did not ride Tangyuan, but instead rode a giant eagle to the Rabbit Tribe with the old witch.

"Cry!"

The giant eagle carried the old witch and Jiang Xuan, flapped its wings and flew into the sky, then flew towards the direction of the rabbit tribe.

If you walk from the Vine Tribe to the Rabbit Tribe, it will take six or seven days even if you walk fast. However, riding a giant eagle, you can fly in a straight line in the sky, which is much faster.

But because they had never been to the Rabbit Tribe before, it took them three days of wandering around before they finally found the Rabbit Tribe.

Tuling has rolling hills and lush vegetation.

"Cry!"

When the giant eagle flew over Rabbit Ridge, the large number of giant rabbits on the mountain, as well as the members of the Rabbit Tribe, all crawled into the nearest holes and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go down to the foot of the mountain."

Under the command of the old witch, the giant eagle landed at the foot of the main peak of Rabbit Ridge.

Jiang Xuan jumped down from the giant eagle's back and saw at a glance a big tree with the totem pattern of the Rabbit Tribe carved on it.

The totem pattern of the Rabbit Tribe is in the shape of a rabbit head, with very large eyes, very long ears, a three-lobed mouth, a beard, and two large front teeth. Its features are very obvious.

"Finally found the Rabbit Tribe."

Jiang Xuan looked up at the mountain. With his strength, he could naturally feel many prying eyes.

The people of the Rabbit Tribe are rather timid, and they certainly wouldn't dare to come out if such a huge eagle flew down.

After the old witch came over, Jiang Xuan shouted to the mountain: "I am the leader of the Teng tribe, Xuan. The leader Shanfeng invited me to come as a guest last time. How come no one came to greet me when I came?"

The warriors of the Rabbit Tribe had a deep impression of the Vine Tribe because the salt they now eat and the pottery they use were traded from the Vine Tribe.

Therefore, these soldiers did not dare to delay and immediately went to find their leader Shanfeng to explain the situation to him.

When Shanfeng heard that the leader of the Teng tribe had arrived, he hurried down the mountain with a dozen warriors to greet him.

Jiang Xuan and the old witch waited for a while at the foot of the mountain, admiring the scenery around them.

After a while, the mountain breeze brought people running down in a hurry.

"Chief Xuan, I have finally got you here."

Shanfeng walked quickly to Jiang Xuan, his face full of enthusiasm, his cleft lip split open from smiling. If you didn't know, you would have thought they had a very good relationship.

Jiang Xuan knew very well that this guy must have hidden himself when he saw the giant eagle just now, and was now trying to cover up his embarrassment.

"I've been very busy recently. I finally got some free time, so I came to your Rabbit Tribe."

"Haha, welcome, Chief Xuan."

Shan Feng looked at the old witch again and asked, "Who is this?"

The old witch said calmly: "Eastern Wild Eagle Tribe, Ze."

"So you are my friend from the Eastern Wasteland. Welcome, welcome."

Shanfeng said welcome, but it was obvious that he was not that enthusiastic.

One reason is that the Eastern Wilderness is too far away, and Shanfeng has never heard of the Eagle Tribe.

Another reason is that the people of the rabbit tribe don’t like eagles because eagles are one of the natural enemies of rabbits.

The old wizard was very experienced and could tell what Shanfeng was thinking at a glance, but he didn't care. As long as he could get large pieces of high-quality stone, it would be enough.

"Chief Xuan, come on, come on, come to our tribe. It's not easy for you to come here, so we must entertain you well."

"Wait a minute, the goods haven't been picked up yet."

Jiang Xuan climbed onto the giant eagle's back and unloaded the goods. Shan Feng wanted to go over to help, but when he saw the huge giant eagle, he became frightened and ultimately did not dare to go over.

After Jiang Xuan carried the goods to one side, Shan Feng hurriedly asked the warriors of the Rabbit Tribe to help Jiang Xuan carry the goods up the mountain.

Jiang Xuan did not refuse. He was not afraid that the people from the Rabbit Tribe would run away with the goods. With someone to help him, he could feel more relaxed.

The group walked slowly up the mountain.

It was a rare occasion for outsiders to visit the Rabbit Tribe, so many giant rabbits and tribesmen of the Rabbit Tribe poked their heads out of their holes to watch, which looked quite funny.
