Chapter 89 Glowing Mushrooms

The breeding industry of the Teng tribe has restarted. Da Jiao is full of energy and starts to cultivate a large number of insects. He then uses these insects, wild vegetables, water plants, small shrimps, crabs, snails, and shellfish to feed chickens and ducks.

Under Jiang Xuan's instructions, the hunting team captured many large bamboo rats, gray rabbits, bighorn sheep and other animals for Dajiao to continue to domesticate.

To this end, the breeding area of ​​the Teng tribe built many pens with thick wood to domesticate animals that are larger in size and cannot dig holes.

In the future, Jiang Xuan also plans to raise larger mammals such as wild boars and bison. If they can be domesticated successfully, Jiang Xuan will consider making a curved plow and using cattle to plow the fields.

Compared to digging with human power, cows turn the soil many times faster, not to mention that the cows in this world are large in size and strong enough.

After only one month, the entire Teng tribe became well organized again.

All the houses were rebuilt, the totem poles were re-erected, the large cauldron was fired and placed back on the altar, and even the rhythmic sound of pounding medicine from the hydraulic device deep in the bamboo forest was restored.

During this period, several babies were added to the tribe, which made the tribe more vibrant.

Jiang Xuan specifically ordered people to provide these mothers with more nutritious food, as well as some soft animal skins and other daily necessities. He also allowed them to recuperate for a period of time so that they could raise their children with peace of mind.

Life seemed to have returned to normal, with everyone doing their job and working together to make the tribe stronger.

However, everyone knows that the current calm is just the calm before the storm.

There will definitely be a war between the Vine Tribe and the Mosquito Tribe, and this war is coming soon.

If we rely on the current number of warriors, we will have no chance of winning against the Mosquito Tribe.

But after seeing the scene of the divine vine overcoming the tribulation, everyone in the Teng tribe was very confident of victory in this war.

June 10th.

Jiang Xuan gathered all the tribesmen together to discuss the search for the magical plant.

"Teng Shen has made a breakthrough, but he still needs to recuperate for a while. We can't just rely on Teng Shen, we must do everything we can to improve our own strength."

"I decided to lead a hunting team to the Mountain Turtle Tribe to see if I can trade some more Power Mushrooms or other mushrooms that can increase strength."

“At the same time, we will also try to find the fruits of some magical plants along the way.”

Jiang Xuan added: "This time, Wu will go with us."

In fact, if there was any other way, Jiang Xuan didn't want to let Chishao go with him, because if the leader and the witch left the tribe at the same time, it would be difficult for others to control those tourists.

If anything happens to the tribe, it will be a disaster.

Fortunately, the Teng tribe still has the existence of the divine vine, which is like a stabilizing force, so there is no need to worry about any major chaos.

The reason why Chishao was asked to go together was because only Chishao knew enough magical plants. If Jiang Xuan took people there alone, he would probably miss out on the magical plants even if he encountered them.

Jiang Xuan selected the twelve most powerful warriors, arranged the affairs of the tribe, and then began to prepare to go to the Mountain Turtle Tribe to trade.

At times like this, the animal bones and fangs left by the old witch came in handy. They were very popular trading items among the tribesmen.

After everything was ready, the next morning, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao, along with twelve warriors and some animal bones and tusks, set out for the Mountain Turtle Tribe.

Jiang Xuan had never been to the Mountain Turtle Tribe, but he knew the location of the Mushroom Forest.

Considering how much importance the Mountain Turtle Tribe places on the Mushroom Forest, as long as we find the Mushroom Forest, we should be able to find people from the Mountain Turtle Tribe.

“Chichichi…”

In the hot weather and dense primeval jungle, all kinds of insects are hiding on branches or leaves and chirping wildly.

The people of the Teng tribe had been walking in the jungle for most of the day.

They had dark green totem patterns painted on their faces, held weapons in their hands, and carefully observed their surroundings, guarding against possible dangers that might suddenly arise.

Chishao asked Jiang Xuan, "How far is it to the mushroom forest?"

Jiang Xuan replied: "We should be able to arrive before dark tomorrow."

It takes about two days to get from the Vine Village to the Mushroom Forest, including the time spent overnight. If you walk faster, the time can be shortened.

"Then we need to find a place to spend the night."

It is dangerous to spend the night in the jungle. You must find a safe place in advance, build a shelter and make a fire.

Without fire and shelter, you're an easy target for jungle predators to eat.

"Meh..."

There was a group of bighorn sheep eating grass ahead. Suddenly, a leopard rushed out from the bushes nearby. It bit the neck of a bighorn sheep with lightning speed and then dragged the sheep away.

The flock of sheep scattered and the bighorn sheep became food for the leopard.

This type of leopard is very fast and has a wide range of diets, and sometimes humans are also its prey.

Not long after Jiang Xuan and his companions walked, they encountered a giant python coiled on a tree. When they passed under the tree, the python tried to attack them, but Jiang Xuan discovered it in advance and killed it.

The tough snake skin has many uses after being peeled off.

The snake body was also cut into several pieces and brought to the camping site for the night to be roasted and eaten at night.

Similar dangers are very common in the jungle, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life.

Because of this, the casualty rate of hunting teams in each tribe is actually very high.

The casualty rate of the hunting team of the Teng tribe is relatively lower, because the Teng tribe has relatively sufficient food and they don't have to fight so hard.

Before the sun set, they found a large stone wall, built a temporary shelter against it, and started a fire.

At night, Jiang Xuan and others roasted the giant python's meat and ate it.

While Jiang Xuan was tearing the snake meat and stuffing it into his mouth, he said to Chi Shao, "Plants that can improve strength are really hard to find. We have been walking for a whole day and haven't encountered a single one."

Chishao said, "That's because people in each tribe need plants that can improve their strength. Once they come across them, they will often pick them all, or even dig up the trees. Over time, these plants will become less and less."

Jiang Xuan asked: "If we find a place that no one has ever been to, is it possible to get a lot of these plants?"

Chishao was stunned and said, "Maybe, but such a place should be hard to find."

The Southern Wilderness is very large, and the number of tribal people is actually not that large, but the tribal people continue to live and migrate from generation to generation.

A place may be sparsely populated now, but a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years ago, it may have been inhabited by many tribes.

Nothing special happened that night.

The next day, everyone continued on their journey. Chishao found some relatively rare herbs on the road, which was an unexpected gain.

Before dark, they finally reached the outskirts of the magical mushroom forest.

"Hey, it's summer already, and there are still so many giant mushrooms?"

Jiang Xuan was very surprised when he saw that the mushroom forest was almost the same as the last time he saw it.

The lifespan of ordinary mushrooms is very short. From growth to withering, some last only a few days, while others can last up to one or two months.

Unless it is a special mushroom like Ganoderma lucidum, its growth period will be longer.

Obviously, the various giant mushrooms in this mushroom forest are also magical plants, and their growth cycles are different from those of ordinary mushrooms.

Chishao said: "Since these mushrooms are still there, the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe should come here more often. We will negotiate with them then."

"It's getting dark now, let's find a place to stay for the night."

The group found a relatively safe place on the outskirts of the mushroom forest, built a shelter, and made a fire for the night.

It was getting dark and everyone was grilling meat and some plant tubers. Suddenly, Uncaria rhynchophylla, who was sitting on guard in a tree, let out a cry of surprise.

Jiang Xuan immediately stood up and asked the tree, "Uncle Teng, what's wrong with you?"

Uncaria's voice was a little excited: "Chief, come up and take a look."

"What are you looking at?"

"Mushrooms, glowing mushrooms!"

After hearing what Uncaria said, Jiang Xuan immediately climbed up the tree and looked towards the mushroom forest.

This sight shocked him so much that he was speechless.

In the vast mushroom forest, many mushrooms emitted a faint fluorescence as night fell, just like night lights.

These glowing mushrooms are red, green, and blue. The entire mushroom forest is flashing with colorful lights, which is so beautiful that it is unbelievable.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"There are actually... glowing mushrooms!"

“So beautiful!”

Jiang Xuan and Gou Teng's admiration made others unable to hold back.

They all climbed up the nearby trees and saw this shocking scene.

Jiang Xuan was fine. After all, he had seen too many night scenes in his previous life, and he just felt that these glowing mushrooms were novel and beautiful.

But for the tribesmen who had never seen electric lights and rarely saw any other light at night except firelight and moonlight, the visual impact of this luminous mushroom was too strong.

Many people, including Chishao, were mesmerized by the sight.

Jiang Xuan was thinking, if this kind of glowing mushroom can exist for a long time and can be transplanted, then can't it be used as a light bulb at night? Of course, these mushrooms emit a relatively weak fluorescence, and it is not realistic to rely on a few mushrooms to light up the house.

But even so, it would be a pleasant sight if the tribe could have some glowing mushrooms.

At this time, in the mushroom forest, more than one hundred warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, with two big mountain turtles, were collecting a very precious mushroom with the help of the light emitted by these mushrooms.

This mushroom is called Night-shining Mushroom. After people eat it, they will have the ability to see at night like nocturnal animals.

Having night vision ability is extremely important for the tribesmen.

Because the tribesmen often spend the night in the jungle, but cannot see in the dark, they can only use fires to prevent attacks from wild beasts, but cannot hunt at night.

In fact, in the world where Jiang Xuan lived in his previous life, people could only go out at night after the emergence of portable lighting devices.

The night-shining mushroom is difficult to identify during the day, but it emits a special light at night. Therefore, the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe will look for and collect the night-shining mushroom at night.

"There's one over there!"

The warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe saw a night-shining mushroom and ran over excitedly.

"Let me pick it."

Shanjia, the leader of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, was still wearing a thick tortoise shell. He walked to the place where the night-shining mushroom was found, then carefully reached out and picked it off.

This is an ordinary-looking mushroom, only the size of a palm. If it were daytime, similar mushrooms would be everywhere in the mushroom forest.

But in the dark, this night-shining mushroom emits a faint green light as a whole, which is very beautiful.

Shanjia carefully put the night-shining mushroom into the animal skin bag, and then said happily: "Keep looking!"

That night, the people of the Vine Tribe spent most of the night watching the mushroom night view outside the mushroom forest, and the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe spent most of the night looking for night-shining mushrooms inside the mushroom forest.

Both sides benefited.

The next day, as the sun slowly rose, the glowing mushrooms in the mushroom forest gradually dimmed and became no different from other mushrooms.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes or experienced it personally, many people might not have believed that there were such glowing mushrooms in the forest.

The next day, Jiang Xuan had just woken up and was sitting next to the fire, roasting some plant tubers to eat, when the soldier on guard in the tree suddenly shouted.

"Chief, a group of people came out of the mushroom forest, and they brought two huge mountain turtles with them!"

Jiang Xuan was shocked and said, "They must be from the Mountain Turtle Tribe. Let's go and take a look."

Jiang Xuan quickly stuffed the food in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it, then called Chi Shao and other warriors and hurried to the place where the Mountain Turtle Tribe came out.

The soldier on sentry duty also quickly climbed down from the tree. He used tools to quickly dig the soil, covered the fire, made sure the fire was extinguished, and then hurriedly followed.

Outside the mushroom forest, warriors from the Mountain Turtle Tribe walked out one after another, all with relaxed smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they had a good harvest last night.

The leader of the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the leader of the hunting team were talking and laughing all the way, discussing how much strength the mushrooms harvested this time could add to the tribal warriors and how much they could get in exchange for some of the mushrooms.

Just then, footsteps suddenly were heard in the woods.

“Someone is coming!”

The people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe immediately became nervous. Shanjia commanded everyone to quickly use the favorable terrain and the two giant mountain turtles to prepare to fight the enemy.

"Friends from the Mountain Turtle Tribe, don't be nervous. We are from the Vine Tribe. We have helped you fight the Mosquito Tribe before!"

Jiang Xuan started shouting from a distance to avoid being attacked by the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe and causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Ivy tribe?"

Shanjia thought about it and felt that it sounded a little familiar, but he didn't have a deep impression.

It was not until Jiang Xuan and others emerged from the forest that Shanjia finally remembered when he saw the totem pattern on Jiang Xuan's face.

Totem patterns are much easier to remember than names.

"So you are friends from the Teng tribe. Why are you here?"

Although Shanjia remembered what happened to the Teng Tribe, he still did not let down his guard, because the Shangui Tribe and the Teng Tribe had only met once, and who knew what the other party's purpose was.

Jiang Xuan said: "Leader Shanjia, we came here specifically to do business with the Mountain Turtle Tribe, but we couldn't find where your tribe was, so we had to try our luck here. We didn't expect to meet you by chance."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and asked the warriors of the Teng tribe to display the animal bones and tusks prepared for trading.

"Leader Panther, look, we are here to do business sincerely, and we have absolutely no bad intentions."

When the pangolin saw the animal teeth and bones, he immediately believed Jiang Xuan's words about 50%.

He also saw that there were only fourteen people on the Teng tribe side, and none of them were very strong, while the Shanjia tribe had more than a hundred warriors, which gave them an absolute advantage. His nervous mood finally calmed down a little.
