No golden finger, no system—just sweat, tools, and determination.
He clears...
Chapter 214: The Divine Vine
Overcomes the Tribulation After the old witch came over, the crowd made way for him to walk to the front.
"What kind of ship is that?" asked the old witch puzzledly.
"The chief said that it's called a sailboat, and it can sail with the help of the wind."
The warrior at the side answered the old witch enthusiastically, and at the same time felt proud of the Teng tribe's new means of water transportation.
"A sailing ship that can sail with the help of wind..."
The old witch repeated it again, and his eyes became more complicated.
There are so many new and good things in Teng Tribe, and they are endless.
Coupled with the extremely powerful totem gods and the brave and fearless warriors, the old witch seemed to have seen a large tribe gradually taking shape in this remote place.
If all these new things from the Vine Tribe could be brought back to the Eagle Tribe, what changes would happen to the Eagle Tribe?
The old witch suddenly thought of this question and was very excited.
However, when he thought about how to achieve it, he became discouraged.
Because there are so many new things in the Teng Tribe, and whether it is planting, breeding, clothing, shipbuilding, making knife coins, etc., they all require rich experience and technology.
Although the old witch had stayed in the Vine Tribe for a long time, the only things he could bring back to the Eagle Tribe were probably some superficial things.
It is very difficult to truly let the Eagle Tribe master these new technologies and new things, unless all the people in the Vine Tribe who possess these technologies and experiences are tied back to the Eagle Tribe.
But that is impossible. If the old witch dares to take action, the divine vine will directly use him and the giant eagle as food.
What's more, the old witch has been here for so long and has developed feelings for the place, so he doesn't want to do something that would cause a break in relations.
"Well, I'm no longer a witch of the Eagle Tribe. Why should I think so much? It's already good enough that I can finish carving the Great Wilderness Hundred Herbs Map."
The old witch shook his head, stopped looking at the boats on the river, and turned back. His pace was much slower than usual, and his back was even more hunched...
…
On the fifteenth of June, the scorching sun was burning the earth. There were only a few scattered white clouds in the sky, which could not provide any shade for the forest below.
Jiang Xuan sat under the eaves. Not far away was the pond in the yard. The lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom.
The ice lotus root has completely survived in the Teng Tribe. Although it is not as sweet and transparent as the ice lotus root previously grown in the Otter Tribe, its taste is much better than that of ordinary lotus root and it tastes cool.
In this hot summer, eating a few pieces of frozen lotus root is like eating frozen watermelon, which makes people feel very refreshed.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, blocking the sunlight.
“Boom…”
In an instant, the light dimmed, thunder rumbled, and silver snakes danced wildly.
“It’s going to rain!”
Jiang Xuan hurriedly got up and went to the yard to collect the clothes.
Summer is like this, it rains when it says it will, without any warning and without any humanity. In the blink of an eye, you will be soaked all over, and the clothes hung outside to dry will also be soaked.
However, after Jiang Xuan took the clothes back into the house and waited for a long time, not a drop of rain fell, but the sky became increasingly gloomy and the thunder became louder and louder.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Xuan looked at the dark sky and felt uneasy.
“Buzz!”
At this moment, the fog on the stone mountain suddenly dissipated, and a new vine grew towards the sky, emitting a sparkling green light.
Immediately afterwards, all the giant dragonflies flew up. Instead of flying around the stone mountain as usual, they flew to the east coast, away from the stone mountain.
"Oracle, everyone stay away from the sacred mountain..."
Chishao ran out of the yard, shouting as he ran.
Those witch doctor apprentices and a large number of soldiers from the guard team all left the bamboo forest. Even those who approached the bamboo forest were all driven away.
"roar……"
The Black Wind Rhino Yueya was running with Jiang Xuan on its back, and Tangyuan didn't even fly anymore. Instead, it was hopping and swaying as it ran, looking quite funny.
When they ran to the wide farmland, Jiang Xuan finally had time to ask Chi Shao: "Sister, what's going on?"
Chishao took a few breaths and said, "The Vine God is about to pass the tribulation."
"Overcoming the tribulation?" Jiang Xuan opened his eyes wide and thought of a possibility.
"Yes, it's just as you think. Once you cross it, the vine god will have the power of a totem god of a large tribe."
“That’s great!”
Jiang Xuan was very excited because the stronger the Vine God was, the safer the Vine Tribe would be, and they would be able to develop without any worries in the future.
However, Chishao was not so excited, and there was even a hint of worry in his eyes, because the great divine calamity was not so easy to overcome, otherwise, the totem god of the Black Snake Tribe would not have been so fearful that day.
She could only pray that Fujin Shen could survive this disaster.
At this time, on the stone mountain, the divine vine had fully awakened. Its entire body was glowing with divine light, and its terrifying divine power was surging like an ocean. It was extremely terrifying.
At this moment, all the living 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 landed on the divine vine, breaking the vines at the top, and the entire stone mountain was shaking.
“Crackle, crackle…”
Immediately afterwards, lightning struck one after another. These lightnings were so terrifying and frighteningly thick that every time they struck, a section of the vine would be cut off and burned black.
“Boom…”
The top of the stone mountain was shattered by lightning, and rocks rolled down one after another. Fortunately, the people of the Teng tribe had evacuated long ago, otherwise they would have been injured by the falling rocks.
Every time the divine vine was struck by lightning, it would be broken and part of the vine would be burnt. The divine light would become weaker and weaker, and the stone mountain would become shorter and shorter.
"You must succeed, Fujigami!"
Chishao and the others looked up at the divine vine transcending the tribulation, and everyone felt very nervous.
If the divine vine successfully survives the tribulation, the vine tribe will be able to grow rapidly, and may even become a large tribe in a very short time.
But if the divine vine fails to survive the tribulation, the vine tribe will lose the protection of the divine vine, and the consequences can be imagined.
Above the sky, dark clouds are still gathering and becoming thicker and thicker.
It was a sunny day, but the ground was getting darker and darker, just like night.
Flashes of lightning occasionally streaked through the darkness and landed on the stone mountains.
"boom!"
Finally, the stone mountain could not bear the weight anymore, and everything above the halfway point collapsed, with huge rocks rolling down.
It is unknown how many years this tall stone mountain has stood, but today it collapsed under a thunderstorm.
After the stone mountain collapsed, the divine vine was also cut into pieces, the jade-like branches and leaves were burned black, and the divine light became weaker and weaker.
In front of the bamboo house, the old witch stared at the direction of the stone mountain, frowning: "Can't we make it through?"
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.
If a vine wants to become a god, it needs to endure countless years and also encounter a great opportunity.
It would be such a pity if he finally became a powerful totem god and died in a thunder tribulation.
“Boom…”
“Crack…”
The thunderstorm continued, and the divine vine struggled to channel part of the lightning's power into the ground through its vines and roots.
But the thunder tribulation was too terrifying. Thick lightning bolts struck down one after another, leaving the divine vine no chance to breathe.
Gradually, the towering stone mountain was chopped down lower and lower, and the huge divine vine was chopped down shorter and shorter. The charred vines and rubble mixed together and fell to the ground.
I don’t know how long it took, but the dark clouds in the sky finally dissipated gradually, and the sun shone on the earth again.
The members of the Teng tribe also breathed a sigh of relief. The scene just now was too terrifying. Most of them could only cover their ears with their hands, squat on the ground, and wait tremblingly for the thunder tribulation to end.
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 into only a large stone, and only half of the charred main stem of the huge divine vine was left, still smoking.
Could it be that the divine vine failed to survive the tribulation and was struck to death?
Everyone's faces turned pale, and no one could accept this result.
"Teng Shen..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Chishao was the first to react. Her face turned pale and she stumbled towards the half-charred divine vine.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xuan also hurriedly followed, and the other tribesmen followed closely behind.
There were piles of rocks on the ground, making it difficult to pass through. Jiang Xuan immediately led the soldiers to move the rocks away, and also carefully put away the broken and burnt vines.
Even though it was burnt black and only half of it was left, the divine vine was still huge, with sporadic flames still burning in some places.
Chishao knelt in front of the divine vine and called out to it over and over again, but received no response.
Jiang Xuan stood behind Chishao, his heart sinking.
Originally it was thought that the Teng Tribe was about to take off, but no one expected this situation to occur.
Once the protection of the totem god is lost, any small tribe can pose a threat to the Teng tribe.
Not only that, the people of the Teng tribe will also be in chaos.
Because the Teng tribe developed so rapidly, the current population came from many tribes, many of whom were converted from hostile tribes, and there are still many conflicts between them.
When Fujigami is around, these conflicts can be suppressed and everyone works together for a better life.
Once Fujigami is gone, all kinds of conflicts will gradually erupt.
By that time, under internal and external troubles, the Teng tribe would most likely fall apart.
This is a result that Jiang Xuan absolutely cannot accept.
Jiang Xuan glanced at the crowd with the corner of his eyes and found that the expressions of some of the tribesmen were not right.
This made Jiang Xuan feel even more depressed. If the life or death of the vine god had not been determined, some people would have started to riot, right? Chi Shao knelt in front of the charred half of the vine, trying various methods to call on the vine god, and even chanted the incantation in a low voice.
The result made her very desperate. Tengshen still didn't respond at all. Chishao was so anxious that tears fell from her eyes.
For a witch, nothing is more devastating than losing his totem god.
At this moment, a passage was made in the crowd and the old witch slowly walked over.
Jiang Xuan hurried forward and whispered, "Old witch, you are knowledgeable, please help me check the status of the vine god."
The old witch nodded, said nothing, and walked to the front of the charred divine vine.
When Chishao saw the old witch coming, she wiped her tears and made way for her.
The old witch soothed him, "Chishao, don't worry, let me take a look."
Chishao nodded, then looked at the old witch with tearful eyes, hoping for a miracle to happen.
The old witch took a deep breath, then placed one hand on the charred divine vine and slowly closed his eyes.
Soon, the vast magical power flowed along his palm towards the charred divine vine. The sporadic flames on the divine vine were extinguished instantly after touching the magical power.
After a long time, the old witch opened his eyes again and took back his witch power.
He glanced at everyone but did not announce the answer directly. Instead, he patted Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao, motioning them to follow him.
Jiang Xuan's heart sank again, and this time, he really hit rock bottom.
The two followed the old witch into the bamboo forest and walked into Jiang Xuan's yard.
Chishao's yard had been smashed into pieces by the flying rocks. Jiang Xuan's yard was far away from the rocky mountain, so it did not suffer much damage. Only a few smaller pieces of rubble fell in the yard.
Jiang Xuan asked: "Old witch, how is the vine god now?"
Chishao also stared at the old witch with an anxious look.
"Based on the situations of other totem gods, your vine god should have failed in his tribulation."
The old witch's words were like a bolt from the blue. Chi Shao, who still held out hope, felt dizzy before her eyes. She staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
Jiang Xuan quickly supported Chishao and comforted her, "Sister, don't worry, listen to what the old witch has to say."
"That's right, Chishao, don't be impatient."
The old witch pondered for a while and said, "If it was a totem god from another tribe, I dare say he would definitely die if he encountered this situation, but your vine god is different."
"Its main stem and branches were indeed killed, but the roots deeply rooted in the earth are still there and are not completely dead."
Jiang Xuan suddenly realized and said, "Just like when my sister was bewitched, she looked dead on the surface, but actually she was able to come back to life?"
The old witch nodded and said, "If there are no accidents, it should be possible."
“That’s great!”
After hearing the old witch's words, Chishao's eyes lit up again, and Jiang Xuan's heart, which had fallen to the bottom, also rose a little.
"But I want to remind you."
The old witch's expression turned serious: "Whether your vine god can come back to life, when he will come back to life, and whether his strength will become stronger or weaker after he comes back to life, no one knows."
"So, you must find a way to stabilize all the members of the Teng tribe and deter the outsiders, otherwise..."
The old witch didn't say the rest, but Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao both understood.
They must be prepared that the vine 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, we will tell everyone that the Teng God is only sleeping temporarily and will wake up soon to protect the Teng tribe again."
The old witch nodded, this method could temporarily calm people's hearts.
Jiang Xuan said to Chi Shao again: "Sister, cheer up, the tribe needs you now."
"When the Deer Tribe was destroyed, we were able to survive and established the Vine Tribe, which is larger than the Deer Tribe. Now, our situation is much better than before, and we will definitely get through this difficult time!"
After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, Chishao's emotional collapse slowly dissipated and she gradually regained her rationality.
She said seriously: "Xuan, don't worry, I won't hold you back."
"I trust you!"
Jiang Xuan hugged Chishao for a while, patted her back gently, and then let go.
"Let's go, our tribe is still waiting for us."
Jiang Xuan straightened his clothes, then straightened his back and walked outside with his head held high.
