Chapter 26 Giant Dragonfly

April 16, the first year of the establishment of the Vine Tribe.

“Boom…”

“Crack…”

The sky was covered with dark clouds, thick lightning was striking wildly, the wind was howling, and heavy rain was pouring down.

In the bamboo house, Gan Song squatted at the door with a bowl of rice in his hand, watching the rain water from the eaves flow down the gutter at the door, then looking at the roof that was not leaking, feeling very complicated.

"When the tribe was still around, we never lived in such a nice house..."

Ever since he broke his arm, Gan Song has been very pessimistic and has no hope for the future.

Because for a warrior, a broken arm means being unable to participate in hunting.

Unable to participate in hunting, they won’t get much food and can only collect some wild vegetables to survive. If they encounter winter, it will really be a nightmare.

But now, they came to the Vine Tribe.

Here, they don't need to go into the forest to fight those ferocious beasts, nor do they need to eat grass roots and tree bark. They just need to do some work that seems very simple to Gan Song.

They lived in watertight bamboo houses, had enough food and warm clothes, and lived better than in the previous tribe! Gan Song looked down at the pottery bowl. Only the Teng tribe would give such good things to tourists.

Gan Song clamped the ceramic bowl between his legs, then clumsily grabbed the chopsticks and took a bite. A faint salty taste mixed with the aroma of food filled his mouth.

“This is precious salt!”

Gan Song held the rice in his mouth for a long time before he swallowed it reluctantly.

The Teng tribe was so kind to them that Gansong felt like he was dreaming.

"If this is a dream, I hope this dream will last forever."

Gan Song was eating his meal while watching the heavy rain. He felt that the suppressed pessimism in his heart seemed to be diluted a lot by the rain.

Summer rain comes quickly and goes away quickly.

An hour later, the rain stopped, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sun shone on the earth again.

Gan Song cleaned his bowl and chopsticks and put them away carefully. Then he picked up the bone hoe and shouted to other tourists: "The rain has stopped, it's time to work!"

The tourists in the bamboo house stood up one after another, picked up their tools, and walked towards the farmland.

Everyone is very motivated because they have seen the benefits of the Teng Tribe and want to stay there permanently.

If you want to stay in the Teng tribe, you must work hard.

Because the leader said that those who perform well can become true members of the Teng tribe, and those who cheat and act slyly may be expelled from the tribe! What they have to do today is to dig deep drainage ditches in the cultivated land.

As summer arrives, rainfall becomes heavier. If the drainage ditches are too shallow and cannot drain water, the crops in the fields will easily be flooded.

Gan Song held the bone hoe in one hand and started working immediately after arriving at the field.

Although he only has one hand, he is a warrior after all. He is much stronger than ordinary people and can work just as well as others.

Other tourists also started to work. No one complained about the mud after the rain because they had experienced more difficult conditions.

…

Jiang Xuan walked out of the bamboo house. The air after the rain was particularly fresh, carrying the unique fragrance of grass and trees, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Nearby, Chishao and the stone loach were inspecting the pond, checking the rattan net at the outlet to ensure that the fish in the pond could not escape.

In the distance, the tourists were working hard to dig drainage ditches, talking and laughing, working very enthusiastically.

Jiang Xuan also had a smile on his face. Such a vibrant life, even if it was a little hard and tiring, made people full of hope for the future.

"Hey, what is that?"

Jiang Xuan was just about to go to the field to take a look when suddenly, he saw a huge insect flying towards him in the distance. The sound of its flapping wings was very loud, like the sound of a helicopter flying.

"Is this... a dragonfly?"

Jiang Xuan looked at the huge monster in the sky, his eyes almost popped out.

In the air was a giant dragonfly with a wingspan of at least six meters and a body length of four meters. Its two sets of transparent wings flapped so quickly that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of the introduction of a prehistoric giant dragonfly that he had seen in his previous life:

Its big eyes are like a 360-degree camera with no blind spots, and its black lower jaw teeth are like large pliers that can easily crush the bones of animals.

Its six long legs are all covered with thorns, which can easily catch prey. Each of its wings can be controlled individually, allowing it to fly freely in the forest.

This giant dragonfly is a tyrant of the sky that is no less powerful than ordinary birds and is extremely terrifying.

This description is very similar to the giant dragonfly that Jiang Xuan is seeing now, but this giant dragonfly is larger and more terrifying.

Although he had seen all kinds of huge insects, including half-meter-long centipedes, spiders as big as pumpkins, etc.

But this giant dragonfly shocked him even more, because it was like a small fighter plane!

When the giant dragonfly flew over, Jiang Xuan felt its horror at a closer distance.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When it flew over Jiang Xuan's head, Jiang Xuan could clearly feel a strong wind blowing on the ground, and the bamboo forest was rustling.

“Too big!”

Jiang Xuan kept looking at the sky until the giant dragonfly flew over the bamboo forest, landed halfway up the stone mountain, and grabbed the huge ancient vine.

Jiang Xuan felt nervous. He was really afraid that the ancient vine would whip the giant dragonfly to death just like it had whipped the giant bird to death before.

That would be a pity. After all, it was the first time he had seen such a large dragonfly, and he couldn't find any information about this giant dragonfly in his memory.

Fortunately, the ancient vine did not move, and seemed to have no objection to the giant dragonfly landing on it.

Chishao, Uncaria and others also came over.

"Sister, have you ever seen this kind of dragonfly?"

Chishao shook her head and said, "I've never seen one that big."

"That's strange. Could it have flown here from somewhere else?"

Jiang Xuan was puzzled, but it did not stop him from yearning for this giant dragonfly.

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, this is just a small helicopter! If it can be tamed, can't it be ridden and flown everywhere? Thinking of the scene of riding a giant dragonfly and flying everywhere, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but be fascinated.

However, it is easy to tame birds, but it is difficult to tame insects, and no one can tell whether they can be tamed successfully.

Moreover, such a giant dragonfly has strong attack power and flies very fast. It is difficult to catch it, let alone tame it.

"It would be great if we could find its larvae. It's easier to raise them from the larvae."

But where to find its larvae? Jiang Xuan had no idea at the moment. This dragonfly flew so fast that it was impossible to track it.

Jiang Xuan could only ponder and observe the giant dragonfly.

What was surprising was that in the next few days, the giant dragonfly did not leave. It foraged for food nearby during the day and stayed on the stone mountain at night, keeping company with the ancient vine.

This made Jiang Xuan quite happy. As long as the giant dragonfly did not leave, the chance of approaching it or finding its larvae would increase.

As time passed, the people of the Teng tribe gradually got used to the existence of this giant dragonfly.

This giant dragonfly did not attack people, but only caught some giant insects to eat, and lived in peace with the Vine Tribe.
