Chapter 389 Integration
After getting the confirmation from the Ox Totem, the people of the Snake Tribe finally got the recognition from the Fire Tribe and finally settled in the Fire City.
During the construction period of the Fire City, Diwu Xuan considered the issue of expansion, so there were many reserved open spaces. The next generation of Wu Teng of the Snake Tribe chose the open space in the north as the permanent residence of the Snake Tribe.
"Snakes always like cool places."
Moon Totem said with a pout.
She didn't have a good impression of the Snake Tribe. According to Sun Totem, this was because her tribe was suppressed by a Snake Tribe in its early development.
There are always tribes emerging on the earth, and there are countless similar tribes.
Diwu Xuan was too lazy to care about the grievances between the two totems. Instead, he was quite curious about the war of destruction described by Teng.
According to Teng, the more evil side in the War of Destruction has the ability to grow trees infinitely, which is the same ability as the tree swallowed by the Fifth Xuan.
However, when the Fifth Xuan asked for more details, Teng could not give an answer.
The Snake Tribe was not a powerful tribe before that war, and was even a little ignorant.
Moreover, that war was too long ago, and the Snake Tribe has gone through many ups and downs. Today's totems are all transformed from the earliest totem fire of the Snake Tribe, which shows how serious their changes are.
With so many experiences and ups and downs, the Snake Tribe doesn't know much about that period of history, but according to him, the Ox Tribe, as a participant, should be very clear about what happened at that time.
So the totems who were curious about that period of history turned their eyes to the innocent-looking Bull Totem. After they used various threats and inducements, the Bull Totem still showed that he remembered nothing.
Diwu Xuan had no choice but to believe this guy in the end, because with his cowardly character, it was impossible for him to withstand so many tortures.
When looking at Baxia, Diwu Xuan seriously suspected that the Bull Totem had become like this because Baxia had eaten his body, but this was something that could not be proven.
In addition to gaining more knowledge about ancient things, Diwu Xuan also received a piece of news from Teng: there was another Tao tribe on the way.
According to Teng, the Snake Tribe had more than 2,000 people at the beginning, and the Tao Tribe also followed. This was a choice made by the Tao Tribe at the suggestion of the Snake Tribe. After all, compared with the Snake Tribe, the Tao Tribe's fighting ability is really not commendable.
On the way to the north, the Tao Tribe was moving slowly because the whole tribe was moving. Teng couldn't wait, so he left a thousand warriors to help guard and went ahead.
At the beginning, there was still contact between the two tribes, but later because of the heavy wind and snow, the contact between the tribes was slowly cut off.
In other words, now he doesn't know where the Tao Tribe and the remaining 1,000 Snake Tribe warriors are.
After understanding the ability of the Tao Tribe, Diwu Xuan is quite looking forward to this tribe.
Craftsmen are popular everywhere, especially in this era.
"Where could the Tao tribe and your warriors be?"
asked the Fifth Xuanwen.
"Our original plan was to go all the way north, find the river that Shi mentioned, and then go east to look for the Fire Tribe."
Teng recounted their original plan, thinking it was reliable. After all, in this snowy world without satellite navigation, it was difficult to find a tribe like the Fire Tribe, which was not particularly large.
"After losing contact with them and searching in vain, I decided to pass through the center of the continent. This will help us understand the situation here and bring news to the Fire Tribe."
The plan of the witch of the Snake Tribe was to take advantage of the fact that the Fire Tribe had not developed yet and defect to it, so as to gain benefits in the process of expansion. Teng adhered to this principle and wanted to serve the Fire Tribe as soon as possible, so he made such a decision.
"After entering this area, we heard that the Fire Tribe had moved here, so we came here directly."
"Among the tribes you contacted, what do those tribes think of the Sword Tribe and the Fire Tribe?"
Since Teng didn't know the whereabouts of the Tao Tribe, Diwu Xuan put this matter aside and began to pay attention to the news that Teng had found out.
"Most small tribes think that this is a struggle for hegemony and has nothing to do with them. They don't have much recognition for the Sword Tribe. Some old small tribes even look down on the Sword Tribe and call them traitors who betrayed the Dragon Tribe behind their backs."
Diwu Xuan nodded in the totem. This was similar to the news he had received. Some small tribes around him also had such a cognition.
"What about the Fire Tribe?"
"They know almost nothing about the Fire Tribe. They just know that it was the Fire Tribe that drove the Dragon Tribe away in the end."
It was hard to say whether the answer Teng gave was good or bad, but Diwu Xuan was still quite satisfied.
As long as they didn't have malicious intentions, they would be able to slowly improve their understanding after conquering the Sword Tribe.
After the Snake Tribe moved into the Fire Tribe, they actively participated in the life of the Fire Tribe, whether it was hunting or patrolling and defending the Fire City.
Although Teng was active, the Eighth Generation Shaman did not give them more authority except for allowing them to participate in hunting.
The Eighth Generation Shaman was a cautious person who adhered to the principle of being cautious, and Diwu Xuan quite agreed with this point.
Teng did not express dissatisfaction with this, but actively cooperated with the work assigned by the eighth generation witch and performed very actively in hunting.
After a month of peace, Teng finally put forward his own idea: to learn the Fire Tribe's writing.
The eighth generation witch did not make things difficult for Teng, but allocated 300 people to the Snake Tribe. Teng was very grateful for this and said that he would persist in hunting.
When the Fifth Xuan knew about this, he felt that Teng was just talking. After all, learning is still quite difficult for primitive people, and it is even more difficult to take care of hunting.
But the performance of Teng and the Snake Tribe warriors did make the Fifth Xuan feel amazing.
They divided the team into three groups, two of which went out hunting, and one group studied writing in the tribe, and they rotated every ten days.
It is said that the hunting team would gather together every night to study writing after hunting, including Teng, the most distinguished of these warriors, who also participated in the rotation.
When everyone thought that the Snake Tribe would learn very slowly, the reality was the opposite of what everyone imagined.
The Snake Tribe not only did not learn slowly, but it was faster than one could imagine. Even the Fire Tribe did not have any advantage over them.
"If all the people in this tribe were like this, they would occupy a very high position in the Fire Tribe Alliance."
The Fifth Xuan said in a communication with the Eighth Generation Shaman.
"Do we need to suppress them?"
This was a separate communication, and the Fifth Xuan even blocked the senses of other totems for this.
"No, the capable ones will rise and the weak ones will fall. Internal struggles will only consume one's own strength. Just grasp the peak of power and the succession of promotion."
The Fifth Xuan taught the Eighth Generation Shaman. He found that a great advantage of the Eighth Generation Shaman was that this child was very studious.
All the witches and leaders in the past, including the fourth generation, were not as eager to learn as the eighth generation.
He not only learned from himself, but also from other witches and leaders. He was quite like the teacher of "there is always someone to learn from".
The weather was getting colder and colder, which was a sign of the winter entering the ice age. Another year was coming to an end. Diwu Xuan looked back and felt that this was the year when the Fire Tribe made the most moves.
There was no big war, but whether it was the establishment of the Fire Capital, the spread of writing or the construction of the academy, they were all very long-term plans for the Fire Tribe.
The Sword Tribe's probing had never stopped, but the Fire Tribe's hunting team was very cautious and did not let them take advantage.
Teng once suggested luring a wave of enemies, but was rejected by the eighth generation witch.
"There is no need to intensify the conflict before Chief Shi comes back."
The eighth generation witch has also realized that there is no one in the tribe who can lead an army, so he is quite patient and restrained.
The winter during the ice age is particularly cold, and the beasts that should have returned to hibernation have already hidden away, which makes hunting extremely difficult. Many times, the teams that go out cannot bring back any decent prey. Fortunately, there are
still enough frozen fish in the Fire Tribe, so the Fifth Xuan simply reduced the number of hunters on a large scale and began to popularize writing with all his strength.
This is definitely the worst news for the people of the Fire Tribe this winter. They would rather wake up to find the army of the Sword Tribe in front of the Fire City than hear this news.
But the Fifth Xuan's will is quite firm, and the Tapir Witch is very cruel when it comes to imparting knowledge.
Therefore, for many tribesmen, this cold winter turned into a hungry winter. They had to eat ice and snow to satisfy their hunger, and the people of the Ox Tribe were the first.
After a cold winter, they seemed to have experienced a long time. Everyone in the tribe lost weight. Every day, the Ox Totem looked at these "stupid savages" with wet eyes - this is the name he gave to his own people.
In fact, the Ox Totem is also the stupidest totem in the Bagua space, but no one told him.
When the weather gradually warms up, it proves that the cold winter will pass and spring is coming.
Unlike the wind and snow in autumn and winter, spring and summer will be warmer even in the cold winter, at least there will be less wind and snow.
Three days after the heavy snow stopped, Diwu Xuan got the news from the Hammer Totem that the 1,000 warriors from the Tao Tribe and the Snake Tribe were found by the Hammer Witch. At this time, they were resting in the Hammer Tribe, preparing to go south after the weather was better.
Diwu Xuan told Teng the news immediately, which made Teng, who had been studying characters all day long, throw away the animal skin scroll and run over to ask excitedly.
In fact, he was also worried about his own people. After all, they were guarding a tribe that was not good at fighting, which would seriously hinder them.
He asked Diwu Xuan about the situation of the Snake Tribe warriors, and was relieved when he learned that there were no casualties.
"They will arrive later this year. You can prepare some food and shelter for them in advance."
Diwu Xuan kindly reminded.
Teng thanked him and left to prepare to build a house, while the Eighth Generation Wu was left alone by Diwu Xuan.
"We will prepare the houses for the Tao tribe, but we only need to prepare a prototype. The details need to be built by them. Their station should be located in the south and planned in advance."
The Tao tribe is different from the Snake tribe. This technical tribe should be treated preferentially.
