Chapter 312 Dilemma
The people of the Fire Tribe were not unaware that the jungle was growing towards their settlement, and this was not something that had just started.
It was just that over the past year, it seemed to be growing more rapidly than before.
However, the management team, consisting of the eighth-generation shaman, the third-generation herb shaman, and the music shaman, handled the situation well, and they did not show any signs of nervousness or panic, so they thought the problem was not a big deal.
The mood in the tribe did not change after the three shamans met the Wolf Shaman, and even when the remaining people of the Wolf Tribe joined the felling team, they did not feel that the problem was developing in an uncontrollable direction.
This mood continued for more than two months, and there were no problems in the jungle, and everything was developing in a good direction. At this time, something happened that shocked everyone.
The people of the Earth Tribe ran away.
It wasn't just one or two people who ran away, but the entire tribe, led by the Earth Shaman, who fled without a single person left, including the totem stone.
They did not choose to walk through the jungle, but to leave on the ice.
"Before the Earth Shaman left, he sent a message to the sixth generation leader that they were going back to their hometown."
The Wolf Shaman spoke slowly, her voice revealing her depressed mood.
There had been misunderstandings and many disputes between the Earth Shaman and the Wolf Shaman.
In the conflict between the two, the Wolf Shaman was mostly the humble party. What she didn't expect was that the Earth Shaman actually led the Earth Tribe away from the Fire Tribe, and at this difficult time.
If she had known the result earlier, she would not have chosen to be humble.
Life has worn down this once high-spirited and heroic woman, and she has become old and haggard. There is not much fire left in her heart, but this incident still makes her angry, and then helpless.
"Old place?"
The sound witch's doubtful voice sounded. He knew relatively little about the Fire Tribe.
"When migrating east, the resident land of the Sword Tribe once belonged to the Earth Tribe."
The third generation of the Herb Witch explained for him.
"What is the mood of the tribe members?"
The Wolf Witch suppressed the deep hatred and helplessness in his heart, took a breath, and asked.
"Everyone is very dissatisfied and wants to catch up to ask for an explanation."
The eighth generation witch said.
"No, at this time, the warriors cannot leave the tribe."
The Wolf Witch said in an affirmative tone.
The three witches plus Liao all nodded. They had the same idea, but now the warriors were very excited, especially the warriors of the Wolf Tribe.
Among the Fire Tribe’s garrisons at this time, the Wolf Tribe had the most totem warriors. If they got emotional, it would be difficult for the three witches to control them.
"Is it Lie?"
The Wolf witch turned her head so that her face was facing Liao.
Lie was the Wolf Tribe warrior who was most likely to become the next generation leader of the Wolf Tribe.
"Yes."
Liao replied.
"Alas."
The Wolf witch sighed for Lie's unwise decision.
He might be a good warrior, but not necessarily a good leader.
"Gather the warriors, I'll go and take a look, I should be able to convince them."
The Wolf witch stretched out her hand, and Liao immediately came over to help her up.
When she stood up, her legs were shaking, and she needed someone to help her walk.
"Don't laugh at me. When I was young, I also fought on a giant wolf."
The wolf witch said to the three witches with a smile. The three witches quickly said they didn't dare. They had heard about the wolf witch's bravery in the past.
It is said that when the spiritual tribe of the Dragon Tribe attacked, it was the wolf witch who led the investigation personally. Many people also said that she was infertile because of the injuries she suffered in the battle that year.
Looking at the wolf witch trembling and moving forward, the three witches did not dare to show disrespect and followed behind her step by step.
Liao helped the wolf witch out of the door. Not long after the group walked out, a warrior ran over from a distance.
"Witch, it's the warriors from the Wolf Tribe." Liao reminded in a low voice.
The wolf witch nodded: "What's the matter."
"The Earth Tribe is back." The warrior said hurriedly.
"Be more specific." said the wolf witch.
"The people of the Earth Tribe said that they were attacked by a ferocious beast that rushed out of the sea on the ice. The Earth Witch fell into the sea and his life or death is unknown. The leader of the Earth Tribe escaped with the rest of the people."
The warrior finished speaking in one breath and stopped to catch his breath.
The Wolf Witch thought for a moment and asked, "How many people escaped?"
"Less than a hundred." The warrior hurriedly replied.
"Has the Earth Totem returned?"
"He returned."
The three eighth-generation witches looked at each other in the back, and were shocked by the twists and turns of the process and didn't know what to say.
"All the people of the Earth Tribe have been detained, and the totem stone has been temporarily placed on the high platform. This matter will be dealt with when the sixth-generation leader returns."
The Wolf Witch thought calmly, patted the beast beside him, and asked him to help him walk back to the room.
"Let Lie come over."
The wolf witch's attitude clearly showed that she was going to take charge of the overall situation temporarily. She was experienced and of high status, so the three witches followed her and waited for her arrangements.
Soon Lie also came into the room. He was a strong warrior with fierce eyes, but he looked at the wolf witch with respect.
"There is no way out."
The wolf witch said bluntly as they gathered.
Lie looked at Liao with some confusion. He had a good relationship with Liao.
Liao shook his head, meaning that he didn't understand what the witch meant
either. However, the eighth-generation witch and the third-generation herb witch looked at each other and saw from each other's eyes that the other had understood what the wolf witch meant. The wolf witch didn't let everyone guess and directly gave the answer.
"The road on the sea is blocked. The jungle is densely populated with ferocious beasts. It is definitely impossible to get through with the elderly and the weak. The Fire Tribe can only stay here. There is no way out. The crazy growth of the jungle must be curbed."
Liao only understood what the wolf witch meant at this time, and the others nodded to show their understanding.
"Lie, I can understand that you didn't pay attention to the tree felling in the past few months, but starting today, you must fully cooperate with the actions of the eighth-generation witch, the herb witch and the music witch. Do you understand what I mean?"
The wolf witch said to Liao.
Her voice was serious, without any room for negotiation.
The wolf looked at the three witches with dissatisfaction, but finally nodded and succumbed to the pressure of the wolf witch.
With the cooperation of the wolf tribe warriors, the three witches began to expand the scale of logging, and the tribesmen were busy logging every day.
The tribesmen also realized the seriousness of the problem, which started with the escape of the earth tribe, but the wolf witch stepped out in time and used the pressure of the sixth generation leader to prevent the fire tribe from panicking.
However, such days had problems again two months later, that is, the growth rate of the trees was faster, and the speed of logging could not keep up with their growth rate.
"Don't leave any more warriors behind, everyone, regardless of age, go to cut trees."
The wolf witch gave the order decisively, and all members of the entire tribe joined in the work of cutting trees.
The spread of the jungle to the settlement was suppressed again, but there were still great risks in such days.
Everyone had no better way but to hope that the Fire Totem would return soon.
