Chapter 218 The Wild Boar is Coming

On the fourth day of August, in the middle of the night, Jiang Xuan had just laid down when he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Leader, it's me, Fengcao."

"Wait a moment."

When Jiang Xuan heard Feng Cao's voice, he knew that she must have something urgent, so he immediately put on his clothes and shoes, and opened the door.

Outside the house, Fengcao was holding a torch, looking very anxious.

"Chief, the Wild Boar Tribe is coming. They have already arrived outside Wild Boar Mountain. They are coming in a fierce force and are obviously targeting our Teng Tribe."

“You came so quickly!”

Jiang Xuan's face grew solemn. He had long known that the Wild Boar Tribe, including several small tribes nearby, were ready to make a move, but he did not expect that the Wild Boar Tribe would attack so quickly.

"Chief, what should we do now?"

Fengcao was a little panicked. As the leader of the thorn vines, she knew much more information than ordinary members of the tribe.

Because of this, she knew that the situation of the Teng tribe was extremely dangerous, and if they were not careful, they might be doomed.

"Don't panic. I'll let Tangyuan go with you. Keep an eye on the movements of the Wild Boar Tribe. I'll take care of the arrangements on the tribe side."

"yes!"

Jiang Xuan walked out of the door, went to Tangyuan’s giant bird’s nest, and said a few words to it.

Tangyuan has a very high IQ. After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, he nodded, walked out of the bird's nest, squatted on the ground, and stretched out one wing.

"Go up, and come back and report if anything happens."

"yes!"

Fengcao climbed onto Tangyuan's broad back with a nervous and excited mood.

Tangyuan staggered to the open space outside, took a few running steps, and quickly flew into the sky with the wind grass, then flew towards the Wild Boar Mountain north of the tribe.

Jiang Xuan washed his face with cold water, forced himself to calm down, then went to find Chishao and explained the situation.

Chishao was surprised: "It's here so soon, what should we do?"

The Wild Boar Tribe is a medium-sized tribe. The wild boar cavalry are extremely fierce, not to mention the existence of totem gods, making them very difficult to deal with.

Jiang Xuan asked, "How is Teng Shen's condition?"

"The vine god still hasn't responded, but the vines are growing very fast and are already wrapping around the boulder."

Jiang Xuan frowned and said, "If Teng Shen can't wake up in time, there will be big trouble."

He thought for a moment and said, "Sister, we have to make preparations for both situations."

"On the one hand, you continue to communicate with the Vine God, and I will have the warriors of the tribe prepare to fight against the Wild Boar Tribe."

"On the other hand, we will transport food supplies to the other side of the river tonight. If the situation becomes the worst, we will have no choice but to leave the tribe by boat."

In fact, Jiang Xuan was not sure whether there would be enough time to leave by boat at that time, and whether the Wild Boar God would chase him.

If the Wild Boar God gives chase, none of the Vine Tribe’s ships may be able to escape.

But he couldn't say these words, otherwise it would be too demoralizing.

After discussing with Chishao, Jiang Xuan immediately ordered the soldiers to blow the assembly horn.

“Woo… woo…”

The loud sound of the horn echoed over the Teng tribe, and all the members of the Teng tribe were awakened.

Whether they were sleeping or not, or even those who were exploring the origin of life, they all immediately got up, picked up their weapons, lit torches, and hurried outside.

Torches were lit up in various places in the Teng Tribe. Looking from the sky, one could clearly see that these torches were like fire dragons, quickly converging on the open space in front of the altar of the Teng Tribe.

When everyone who could come had arrived, Jiang Xuan faced all the tribesmen and shouted loudly: "The reason why we woke everyone up at midnight today is because the tribe's enemies have appeared!"

"The Wild Boar Tribe appeared outside Wild Boar Mountain and may attack us tomorrow."

Jiang Xuan's words were like a big stone thrown into a well, splashing huge water.

The faces of the Vine Tribe members changed one after another, because many people knew that the Wild Boar Tribe was a powerful medium-sized tribe. Given the current situation of the Vine Tribe, could it deal with the Wild Boar Tribe?

Jiang Xuan didn't care about their reactions and directly issued a series of orders.

First, all warriors of the same color or more, bring their weapons and go to the north of the tribe to set up fortifications and various traps.

Secondly, all ordinary tribesmen immediately packed up the tribe’s food and other supplies, shipped them to the east coast, and temporarily stored them in the shipyard.

After the arrangements were made, the leaders of each team immediately took their people to work.

Jiang Xuan, together with Chishao, hopes to awaken the vine god.

Under the night sky, tiny dots of fire kept moving inside the vine tribe, like busy fireflies.

Chishao pressed his hands on the small vine wall, controlling the vines to open a gap.

Then, the two of them walked into the vine wall, holding torches and saw the divine vine wrapped around the boulder.

Just as Chishao said, the sacred vine grew very fast and had already wrapped around all the rocks, with lush green leaves.

However, there was no divine light on the leaves, nor the previous sense of oppression. Some leaves even had holes bitten by insects.

Chishao walked forward, looked through the leaves that had bugs on them, and caught the bugs one by one.

Jiang Xuan stared at the divine vine for a while and sighed slightly.

Judging from this situation, Shen Teng can no longer be relied upon for the time being.

Chishao did not give up. After catching the insects, he stuck the torch into the ground, sat cross-legged, and chanted witchcraft in an attempt to wake up the divine vine.

That night, everyone in the Teng tribe spent it in tension and busyness.

After daybreak, the leaders of each team came to report that all preparations for the battle had been made.

Tangyuan also came back twice with Fengcao. The second time he came back was just after dawn, and he told Jiang Xuan that the Wild Boar Tribe was already heading this way.

Jiang Xuan asked them to each guard their own positions, and then looked at the divine vine again.

Chishao had been sitting cross-legged on the ground all night. The sound of the witch spells almost never stopped, and his voice became hoarse.

Disappointingly, the sacred vine still did not respond. However, after a night, it grew several branches and the main stem became much thicker.

Jiang Xuan patted Chishao and said, "It seems that the vine god will not wake up so quickly. Sister, forget it. The wild boar tribe is coming soon."

Chishao opened his bloodshot eyes and said, "Xuan, go over and join the soldiers first. I'll try harder."

Jiang Xuan looked at the stubborn Chi Shao, sighed slightly, then turned and walked outside.

At this time, a ray of sunlight appeared in the east. It penetrated the clouds and dyed the white clouds into red.

“Tick…”

A dewdrop rolled a few times on the leaf of the sacred vine, then fell to the ground along the tip of the leaf and merged into the soil.

Suddenly, a faint green light appeared on the leaves at the end of the sacred vine, flickering like a firefly.

Before long, there were more and more glowing leaves, and the divine light became stronger and stronger.

“Buzz!”

Jiang Xuan had not taken a few steps when he suddenly felt the ground shaking a few times. He looked back and saw a green divine light starting from the tail of the divine vine and spreading rapidly downwards along the stems and leaves.

Soon, the entire vine was glowing with divine light, and all the branches and leaves became crystal clear, as if they were carved from jade.

Jiang Xuan never expected that hope would appear when he had given up hope.

"Fuji...Fuji God has awakened!"

Chishao looked at the scene in front of her and her voice choked with excitement.

After the divine light bloomed, the divine vine began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The main stem became thicker and thicker, and the branches became more and more numerous. Before long, the boulder was no longer large enough for it to wrap around.

The main stem of the sacred vine continued to grow upward, and would soon be taller than the surrounding vine walls.

Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of something, ran over quickly, and whispered: "God of Teng, don't grow so fast!"

The growing divine vine temporarily stopped moving, and the vine at the tail end extended in front of Jiang Xuan.

At the same time, a voice sounded in Jiang Xuan's mind: "What bad idea are you planning again?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hearing Shen Teng's voice again, Jiang Xuan was refreshed. He could finally confirm that Shen Teng was still alive.

Chishao also cast a puzzled look at Jiang Xuan. Obviously, he couldn't understand why Jiang Xuan didn't let the divine vine continue to grow after it had finally awakened.

Jiang Xuan did not answer directly, but asked: "God Teng, after you passed the tribulation, has your strength... changed in any way?"

This is the issue that Jiang Xuan is most concerned about. If the strength of the divine vine decreases after it has passed the tribulation, then they will have to be prepared to escape after the Wild Boar Tribe arrives.

Shindou replied in a calm tone, "A little stronger than before I fell asleep."

"Excuse me, if it's a little stronger, how much is it?"

Jiang Xuan gritted his teeth and got to the bottom of the matter, because he had to know the true strength of the divine vine so that he could find a way to deal with the situation that would follow.

“If I encounter that black snake again, I won’t need to resort to snake repellent or the Heavenly Tribulation.”

When Jiang Xuan heard this, he finally felt relieved.

This means that, although the divine vine seemed to have been struck badly by the thunder and its stems and leaves were all burned, it actually survived the thunder successfully.

In other words, the Teng tribe now has a great god! "Teng God, it's like this..."

Jiang Xuan told Shen Teng in detail about the current situation of the Teng tribe, including some problems that had broken out within the tribe and the upcoming Wild Boar Tribe.

After Shen Teng heard this, he asked again: "So, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Xuan said: "I would like to ask the Vine God not to expose his strength for the time being, and first use this crisis to find out those people in the tribe who are not firm in their will or even have bad intentions."

"When the tribe is really in crisis, you, old Fujin, can take action. This way, you can not only shock the nearby tribes, but also catch the pests in the tribe. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, Shen Teng and Chishao finally understood what he was planning.

"Well, I'll do as you say."

The vines of the divine vine retracted, and even the vines that were originally very long and thick became smaller. The green divine light on the branches and leaves was all retracted, and it looked no different from ordinary vines.

At this time, the sound of horns was heard outside, which meant that the people from the Wild Boar Tribe were approaching.

"Sister, let's go together."

Jiang Xuan helped Chishao up, and the two walked towards the north gate of the tribe together.

Before Shen Teng woke up, when they faced the wild boar tribe, they thought of running away if they couldn't defeat them. Now, the two are much calmer.

Frog tribe.

"Chief, the wild boar tribe is coming, what should we do?"

From the Frog Tribe, a warrior hurriedly ran over from the direction of the Vine Tribe and asked Huo Meng breathlessly.

At this time, all the members of the Frog Tribe were looking at Huo Meng, hoping that he could come up with an idea.

Huo Meng looked at the witch, who waved his hand hastily and said, "I've told you that you will make all the decisions about the tribe from now on."

Huo Meng retracted his gaze, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "All warriors, bring the giant frog and follow me, we will go to help the Teng tribe fight!"

The frog tribe warriors put their hands to their mouths to make a trumpet shape and imitated the sound of frogs.

“Quack, quack, quack…”

In the frog tribe, hundreds of adult giant frogs jumped out from ponds, rivers, and forests, and then jumped to the sides of familiar warriors.

Since these giant frogs came to the Southern Wilds, they have become much larger in size than in the Western Wilds due to the abundant food and water resources, and their colors are also much brighter than in the Western Wilds.

The frog tribe warriors placed the sharp parts of their weapons, such as spearheads, arrowheads, and blowpipes, on the backs of the most colorful giant frogs and rubbed them gently a few times.

The mucus secreted by these giant frogs is highly toxic. Once weapons are stained with the poison, as long as they inflict a wound on the enemy, they may be poisoned to death by the giant frog's toxins.

The reason why it is possible to poison people to death, but not certain to do so, is because the tribesmen have lived in the primitive jungle for a long time and have rich experience in dealing with various poisons. They also often carry antidotes with them.

As long as the wound is treated in time and the antidote is taken, death will not necessarily occur.

Even so, poisoned weapons are still very scary, especially on the battlefield. As long as the poison affects the enemy's combat effectiveness, there is a chance to kill the enemy.

Venom is time-limited. Fresh venom is the most effective. After a long time, the toxicity will gradually weaken.

Because of this, the warriors of the Frog Tribe would poison their weapons before setting out, rather than doing so in advance.

Huo Meng carefully coated his weapon with poison and then put it away. After all the soldiers were ready, he waved his hand and shouted, "Follow me!"

More than 200 warriors, plus more than 100 giant frogs, ran towards the south gate of the Teng Tribe. They had to pass through the south gate, across the Teng Tribe’s residence, and reach the north gate to meet up with the warriors of the Teng Tribe.

When Jiang Xuan learned that the Frog Tribe decided to join the war, he was greatly surprised, because apart from him and Chishao, no one knew that the Divine Vine had awakened.

It is touching in every way that the Frog Tribe can come at this time.

"Let them come over!"

"yes!"

The soldiers of the guard team ran back in a hurry and notified the South Gate to let them pass.

Soon, Huo Meng led the warriors of the Frog Tribe and the giant frogs to the outside of the north gate and met up with Jiang Xuan.

"Chief Teng, we are coming!"

Huo Meng ran to Jiang Xuan with a giant frog. He was holding a bone spear in his hand and was breathing heavily because he was running too fast.

Jiang Xuan looked at the tall Huo Meng and couldn't help asking, "Leader Huo Meng, do you know what kind of situation we are facing now?"

"Know."

"Aren't you afraid of getting the frog tribe involved?"

"I believe in Chief Xuan, and I believe in the Teng Tribe."

"Hahaha, good, Leader Huo Meng is courageous!"

Jiang Xuan laughed loudly. He was really happy. No matter what the Frog Tribe's considerations were, the fact that they dared to come to help at this time showed that they were trustworthy.

Thanks to the hall master "Hao Qingtian" for the reward of 1,500 book coins.
