Chapter 83: Disaster is imminent

At the foot of the stone mountain, in the yard outside the bamboo house, Chishao was planting herbs.

Since she got the hydraulic medicine pounding device, she no longer has to spend time and effort pounding the medicine every day, and has more time to do other things.

A medicinal field has been opened up in the yard. The bamboo roots, tree roots and gravel in the soil have been cleared. Chishao plans to plant some rare herbs in the field so that they can be used easily when necessary.

Suddenly, Chishao felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

"The old witch said that after gaining witch power, one can sometimes predict good and bad luck. Is a disaster about to happen?"

The more Chishao thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She put down the hoe and hurried into the bamboo house.

She stood by the fire pit, facing the dancing flames, and solemnly began to chant the ancient spell: "ㄓㄌㄡㄤㄞ..."

This is the divination spell that the old witch taught her when she was teaching her witchcraft. Through divination, she can more accurately predict the good or bad of certain things.

As the spell was chanted, the flames in the fire pit rose significantly higher and began to dance in an indescribable rhythm.

Most of the magic power in Chishao's body was gathered in her eyes. If someone was present, they would definitely see that her eyes were like colored glaze, emitting a faint light.

After the spell was chanted, Chishao stared at the flame without blinking, and saw a moving picture in the flame.

It was a group of ferocious bird-billed mosquitoes, and behind them were many warriors from the mosquito tribe.

When Chishao wanted to see more clearly, the picture in the flames disappeared. She groaned and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Although the art of divination can predict good or bad luck, it will also backfire on itself. The bigger the matter, the more serious the backlash will be.

The old witch once sternly warned her not to easily predict important events such as the future of the tribe.

Chishao didn't care about so many things at this moment. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then hurriedly ran out of the bamboo house to find Jiang Xuan.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan was leading people to dig ditches. After they were dug, they could be used to irrigate the fields during droughts and quickly drain water during heavy rains. It was an indispensable project for growing crops.

"Chief, Chief..."

Chishao hurriedly ran to Jiang Xuan, who was digging at the moment and was covered in mud.

"What happened?"

Jiang Xuan rarely saw Chishao so flustered. She was always calmer than ordinary people.

"The Mosquito Tribe is here again, and there are so many of them!"

Chi Shao's words made everyone nervous, including Jiang Xuan.

The sacred vine had fallen asleep, and the old witch had left. If the mosquito tribe launched a massive attack, how could they resist? Jiang Xuan jumped up from the half-dug ditch and shouted, "Everyone return to the bamboo house immediately!"

For a moment, the entire Teng tribe, whether it was the warriors or the tourists, no matter what they were doing, all put down their work, carrying their tools and hurried back.

Jiang Xuan washed his hands casually, then took the bone hoe and followed Chi Shao back, asking, "What happened?"

Chishao has not left the tribe during this period, the warriors responsible for guarding the tribe did not issue any warning, and the bird-beaked mosquitoes of the Mosquito Tribe did not appear. How did Chishao know that the Mosquito Tribe was coming?

Of course, Jiang Xuan knew very well that Chishao would not joke about such a big thing.

Chishao said hurriedly: "I learned divination from the old witch. Today, when I was working, I suddenly felt palpitations, so I tried to use fire to divine."

"I saw the bird-beaked mosquitoes of the mosquito tribe and a large number of warriors rushing towards this side in the flames."

Flame divination is an extremely ancient and mysterious divination method. In addition, there are water pattern divination, bone burning divination, tortoise shell divination and so on.

Jiang Xuan didn't know how credible this divination method was, but the Teng tribe had now lost the protection of the divine vine and was very vulnerable.

Even if this was just a false alarm, Jiang Xuan had to prepare a foolproof plan because the Teng tribe couldn't afford to take the risk.

What should I do? Jiang Xuan thought hard about the countermeasures while walking.

The current situation is very difficult. With only a few warriors from the Vine Tribe, even if all of them die in battle, they will not be able to withstand the attack from the Mosquito Tribe.

I can no longer rely on external forces because I have no power to borrow from now and I can only rely on myself.

He couldn't hide in the cave for long, because the last time he escaped from the cave, he was discovered by the people of the Mosquito Tribe.

Those bird-billed mosquitoes are extremely sensitive to human smell and heat sources, and the warriors of the mosquito tribe are no pushovers either.

Jiang Xuan's heart sank little by little. The entire Teng tribe was suddenly standing on the edge of a cliff. As long as someone gave a slight push, the entire Teng tribe would be smashed to pieces and there would be no recovery.

Could it be that the tribe that had just gotten on the right track was going to be destroyed so easily? Jiang Xuan simply couldn't accept that the tribe he had worked so hard to build had to face such a result.

In fact, Jiang Xuan could also abandon the tribe and run away with only Chishao, Uncaria, Shiqiu and Nanxing. They are all two-color warriors. Now the people from the Mosquito Tribe have not arrived yet, so the chances of them running away are very high.

But if that happened, everyone else would die, and everything the Vine Tribe had would be taken away by the Mosquito Tribe, and Jiang Xuan and his men themselves might also be caught up.

Is there a way to keep everyone alive and minimize the losses? Jiang Xuan couldn't think of a way, and Chi Shao couldn't think of one either, and the others could only worry.

Soon, everyone ran back to the bamboo house. Jiang Xuan gathered everyone to the open space, feeling very confused.

"The Mosquito Tribe is coming!"

Jiang Xuan's words caused everyone to be shocked.

Including Gan Song and others, they had also heard about the feud between the Vine Tribe and the Mosquito Tribe, and had even seen the skeletons hanging on the trees.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Now, everyone, hide all the food, tools, and important things in the cave, and then block the entrance to the cave as quickly as possible and hide them well."

Gan Song couldn't help but ask, "Chief, what happens after we hide?"

Jiang Xuan looked at Gan Song, gritted his teeth, and said, "Run!"

Gan Song said anxiously: "Then...then the things we planted..."

"I can't care about that anymore!" Jiang Xuan said, "Let's save our lives first. Besides, the crops haven't borne fruit yet, so the people of the Mosquito Tribe may not touch them."

Gan Song clenched his only fist, and veins on his arm bulged.

Those crops were the result of his hard work, and he now wished he could stay and fight the Mosquito Tribe.

Dajiao, who was in charge of the breeding, asked anxiously, "Chief, can we take the animals we breed with us?"

Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "If we take those animals with us, we won't be able to escape."

Da Jiao was silent, he felt his heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do.

Jiang Xuan consoled him, "Whether it's crops or animals, we can plant them again and raise them again, but if people are gone, then everything is gone."

This sentence is both a comfort to others and a comfort to oneself.

However, Jiang Xuan didn't say one more thing, which is that with so many people, it is still unknown how many of them can escape.

"Okay, there's no time left. Let's go hide our things. Remember to hide the entrance to the cave, and then run."

Even though everyone was extremely reluctant and aggrieved, there was nothing they could do but follow Jiang Xuan's instructions and hide all the important things in the cave as quickly as possible, then block the entrance to the cave and hide it with miscellaneous items.

As for whether the people of the Mosquito Tribe can find the cave, dig it up and take away the things inside, I can’t care less about that.

Before long, most everything that could be hidden was hidden.

Da Jiao gritted his teeth, and after asking Jiang Xuan, he actually released all the animals that had not yet been successfully tamed.

Da Jiao would rather these animals return to the mountains and forests than be snatched away by the people of the Mosquito Tribe!

Everyone simply took some food and weapons, then gathered together again and prepared to escape.

Until this moment, Jiang Xuan was still thinking hard about how to save everyone, and his headache was splitting.

He had a hunch that there must be a way to overcome this crisis, but he had not thought of such a way in such a short time.

Thanks to the book friend "Hutu Tingting" for the reward.
