Chapter 314 The Fourth Subordinate Tribe
Teng tribe, meeting room.
"After our Mountain Turtle Tribe became a subordinate tribe of the Teng Tribe, we only had one request, which was to follow the Teng Tribe back to the central region."
"If we can return to our ancestral land and gain a foothold in the central region, it will also be beneficial to the Teng Tribe. After all, we have some friends in the central region who can help the Teng Tribe do a lot of things."
"I'm done..."
In the meeting room, Shanjia spoke sincerely about the demands of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, and then looked at the people of the Teng Tribe with trepidation.
Jiang Xuan asked Chi Shao, "Wu, let's ask Teng Shen for his opinion on this matter first."
Chishao nodded, then closed his eyes and communicated with the divine vine with his soul.
Everyone looked at Chishao nervously, and Shanjia was even more restless, because Tengshen's answer was related to the future of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
After a moment, Chishao slowly opened his eyes: "The Teng God agrees that the Mountain Turtle Tribe will become the fourth affiliated tribe of the Teng Tribe."
Jiang Xuan then asked the others, "If you have any other opinions, please speak up."
Gou Teng and others exchanged glances and then shook their heads.
Jiang Xuan stood up and announced loudly:
"Okay, in that case, I declare that after the Vine God and the Turtle God sign the contract, the Mountain Turtle Tribe will be the fourth affiliated tribe of our Vine Tribe. From now on, we will share honor and disgrace and stand together through thick and thin!"
"Very good!"
The pangolin breathed a sigh of relief, and a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.
The leaders of the Teng tribe warmly congratulated Shanjia.
After the meeting, all the leaders returned to their respective posts.
After Shanjia and the others left, they whispered to Jiang Xuan, "Chief Xuan, now we are a subordinate tribe of the Teng Tribe. Can our Shangui Tribe learn the technology of planting and taming prey?"
In the past, the relationship between the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Vine Tribe was good, but it was not that solid after all. If the Mountain Turtle Tribe wanted to learn technology, they could only rely on their own observation, and there was very little they could learn.
Now that the relationship between the two sides has become solid, Shanjia's mind has become more active.
He knew that the Frog Tribe had developed so fast because they had learned a lot of technology from the Vine Tribe. The same was true for the Thornfly Tribe and the Giant Claw Tribe.
Solving the food problem is also one of the important reasons why the Mountain Turtle Tribe is willing to become a subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe.
Jiang Xuan readily agreed: "Of course, I will select two people from the planting team and the breeding team to go to your Mountain Turtle Tribe to teach you the technology."
Shanjia was overjoyed: "That's great, thank you Chief Xuan."
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "You're welcome. Let's learn from each other. Come on, I'll treat you to some wine and meat in the trading area."
The two of them walked arm in arm towards the inn in the trading area...
…
Two days later, Shen Teng sent out an avatar to follow Chi Shao, Jiang Xuan and others to the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
After arriving, the two sides had friendly exchanges and determined the subordinate relationship between the Shangui Tribe and the Teng Tribe.
Afterwards, Fuji God began to conclude a soul contract with Turtle God.
“Buzz!”
Above the Mountain Turtle Tribe, an extremely large divine vine bloomed with endless green light, even dyeing the clouds in the sky green. The powerful breath of life and vast divine power surged wildly.
"roar!"
In the center of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, a giant turtle as big as a hill stepped on the waves and flew to the side of the sacred vine. It was the totem god of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
Below, the people of the two tribes bowed down one after another, the giant mountain tortoises all crawled on the ground, and even all the birds, beasts, fish and insects nearby were all trembling with fear.
"Contract signed!"
The vine god made an extremely loud sound, like rolling thunder.
“Clatter…”
Green vines and branches wrapped around the Turtle God. The Turtle God glanced at his tribesmen below, then slowly lowered his head.
Mysterious lines were imprinted on the turtle god's head, back, and limbs, and were immersed in them.
This is a soul contract. Once signed, unless the Turtle God dies or a totem god more powerful than the Vine God forcibly breaks the contract, the Turtle God will never betray the Vine Tribe.
Without this soul contract, the subordinate tribes could betray at any time, which would be too risky. After a long time, the grand voice of the vine god sounded again in the sky: "The contract is completed!"
All the vines that were wrapped around the Turtle God were quickly retracted, and the divine vines returned to the size of ordinary vines and fell to the ground.
“Clatter…”
The Turtle God rode the waves and returned to the small lake in the center of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
Below, the expressions of the tribesmen of the Mountain Turtle Tribe were very complicated. On the one hand, they could obtain various benefits from the Vine Tribe in the future, and even have the opportunity to return to the central region, and the safety of the tribe would be better guaranteed.
But on the other hand, becoming a subordinate tribe means that they lose some of their autonomy and freedom, which is also a price they must pay.
“Boom!”
Six strong warriors carried a huge, polished stone and erected it in the open space in front of the Mountain Turtle Tribe's residential area.
The witch from the Mountain Turtle Tribe leaned on a cane and bent over to Chishao and said, "Witch from the Vine Tribe, please!"
Chishao nodded, then walked to the huge rock, took out a hair brush and prepared paint, and began to draw the totem pattern of the Teng tribe.
It had done this countless times, and soon, a huge green totem pattern appeared on the boulder.
This is a symbol of the Teng tribe and a declaration of sovereignty, and it is of great significance.
Chishao turned to face everyone and announced loudly: "From now on, the Mountain Turtle Tribe will be protected by the Teng Tribe. Anyone who attacks the Mountain Turtle Tribe is equivalent to attacking our Teng Tribe!"
After the announcement, the ceremony was over. Whether people were willing or not, they had to accept this fact.
After the ceremony, Jiang Xuan immediately fulfilled his promise and left two experienced planting team soldiers and two breeding team soldiers in the Shangui tribe.
They will live in the Mountain Turtle Tribe for a long time until they teach the tribe how to plant and raise livestock.
…
The fifth day of the fourth month, the eighth year of the Teng tribe.
Jiang Xuan and Maidong once again rode Tangyuan to the ruins of the Blue Sheep Tribe.
The wax tree forest, which should have been lush and green, is now dry. When the wind blows, dust and fallen leaves fly all over the sky.
As a former member of the blue sheep tribe and now the owner of a worm wax workshop, Maidong felt so sad when he saw this situation that his eyes became moist.
The area where the mountain goat tribe lives is already relatively dry. After the Great Rift Valley spread to this area, the drought became more serious, and desertification even began to occur in many places.
Now should be the day when waxworms hatch. In previous years, Jiang Xuan and Maidong would come over to make some worm bags, put the collected eggs in them, and then place them in places with many leaves to increase the survival rate of the small waxworms.
But now, even the wax trees have dried up, how can the wax worms survive?
Maidong knelt on the ground, grabbed a handful of dry soil, looked at the dried wax tree forest, and said sadly: "This wax tree forest is over..."
Jiang Xuan patted Mai Dong on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. Although this wax tree forest has dried up, the wax trees we transplanted from here to the vicinity of the tribe are still there, and the waxworms are still there, and they are even breeding more than here. They have not disappeared, they just moved to a new place to grow."
Jiang Xuan's words eased Mai Dong's sadness a little, and he stood up again.
"The leader is right. They didn't disappear. They just grew in a new place."
Maidong walked around in the wax tree forest and looked at the ruins of the mountain goat tribe where he once lived. He knew that he probably would not come to this place often in the future.
The withering of the wax forest also means the complete disappearance of the former mountain goat tribe. Everything is buried in the past, buried in this piece of yellow earth and sand.
