Chapter 131 Frame-up
"Er..."
In the sky southwest of Teng Tribe, Tangyuan was chirping excitedly and flying very fast.
In the sunlight, Tangyuan's purple feathers sparkle and are very beautiful.
On Tangyuan's back, Jiang Xuan felt the wind whistling in his ears and was surprised to find that Tangyuan's flying speed was not inferior to that of the giant eagle.
What kind of bird of prey is this? It can fly so fast before it reaches adulthood. Once it reaches adulthood, won't it be able to fly faster than most birds?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan felt like he had picked up a treasure.
Half a day later, after a period of searching, Jiang Xuan finally found the new residence of the Jackal Tribe.
He let Tangyuan land on the top of a mountain near the forest, then went down the mountain alone, hid near the jackal tribe, and observed them from a distance.
Jiang Xuan discovered that the Jackal Tribe had cut down a large number of trees and built hundreds of simple wooden houses for the tribesmen and the jackals to live in.
There is a huge wooden house in the center, which should be where the jackal god lives.
At the same time, the Jackal Tribe was building a fence to enclose the entire tribe to protect its members.
The structure of the palisade is simple. It is like a large fence and is easy to build.
Of course, only the stronger tribes are qualified to build fences. The weaker tribes simply cannot spare so much manpower and time to build fences.
"Hey, there is a totem pattern here."
Jiang Xuan walked around the Jackal Tribe and observed it for a while, and found a big tree with the totem pattern of the Jackal Tribe carved on it.
The totem pattern of the Jackal Tribe is red and looks like a jackal that is painted in a relatively abstract way, with two fangs and eyes that are particularly prominent.
"Write it down first, maybe it will be useful later."
Jiang Xuan carefully memorized the totem pattern and even took out a piece of black charcoal from his animal skin bag and copied the totem pattern onto a piece of animal skin.
After memorizing the totem pattern, Jiang Xuan squatted on different trees, carefully observed the situation of the jackal tribe, and finally left quietly.
After returning to the top of the mountain, Jiang Xuan ate something first, then rode Tangyuan and set off again.
The Crow Tribe is easier to find because their new residence is right where the Mosquito Tribe used to live.
Jiang Xuan rode Tangyuan to the Great Swamp. When he was still some distance away from the Crow Tribe, Jiang Xuan let Tangyuan land on a hill and chose to walk.
Because there are a large number of crows flying around in the Crow Tribe, if you fly over there riding on the dumplings, you will definitely be discovered.
Jiang Xuan said: "You wait for me here, or you can go catch some prey to eat, but don't run too far, understand?"
Tangyuan nodded to show that he understood.
Jiang Xuan held the bone spear, turned around and walked down the mountain, and soon merged into the vast primeval forest.
Tangyuan tilted his head and thought for a while, then flapped his wings and flew into the sky to look for food nearby.
Jiang Xuan walked quickly through the forest. His footsteps were so light that he left almost no traces on the ground.
"Mah, mah, mah..."
As we approached the Crow Tribe, we began to hear large crows flying across the sky from time to time, making unpleasant noises.
Jiang Xuan was more careful to hide. He did not walk on the ground anymore, but climbed up a tree, like a monkey, and occasionally used branches to swing to another tree.
Because of the obstruction of dense leaves, although this method will make some noise, it will not attract people's attention.
Because there were so many animals crawling around in the trees, most soldiers were used to it.
Finally, Jiang Xuan came to a low hill next to the Crow Tribe and saw the settlement of the entire Crow Tribe.
The Jackal Tribe likes to cut down trees to build houses. The Crow Tribe also cuts down trees, but not in a dense manner because they need to leave enough big trees for the big crows to build their nests on.
At the same time, the Crow Tribe would also build some tree houses on the thick branches of big trees where they could sleep at night.
“It was built pretty quickly.”
Jiang Xuan hid in a big tree, carefully observed the situation of the entire Crow Tribe, and then thought about what method to use if he wanted to attack the Crow Tribe.
The first thing he thought of was fire attack.
Wooden houses and tree houses like those will become dry over time. You just need to sneak in and light a few fires. It won’t take long before a huge fire will break out and burn the entire crow tribe to ashes.
But there are dense forests around here. If a fire breaks out, more than one Crow tribe will suffer. Who knows how far this fire will spread? Once a fire starts, unless it encounters a river or rains, it will continue to spread, and it is possible that several or even dozens of tribes will suffer.
Because of this, in wars between tribes, there were almost no fire attacks, because they did not dare to do so, and neither did Jiang Xuan.
Apart from fire attacks, the only other means of combat are sneak attacks.
"Let the Jackal Tribe fight."
Jiang Xuan searched for a while on the outskirts of the Crow Tribe and found a carving of the Crow Tribe's totem pattern.
Many tribes like to carve totem patterns everywhere where they live to declare the tribe’s ownership of the territory.
Therefore, Jiang Xuan easily obtained the totem pattern of the Crow Tribe.
He still used charcoal to copy the totem patterns of the Crow Tribe on animal skins.
Then, he started his own series of operations.
“Scratch, scratch, scratch…”
Jiang Xuan took out a stone knife and scraped the totem pattern of the Crow Tribe, scratching it.
Then, he spread out the animal skin and painted the totem pattern of the Jackal Tribe that he had copied earlier next to the totem pattern of the Crow Tribe.
He found many places and performed the same operation, making people mistakenly believe that people from the Jackal Tribe had been there.
You know, totem patterns are very sacred to the tribesmen.
Who could tolerate someone scratching off their tribe's totem pattern on their territory and carving other tribe's totem pattern on it? However, in order to ensure that the two tribes could fight, Jiang Xuan needed to make the Crow Tribe even more angry.
He took some time to find two Crow Tribe warriors who were collecting wild vegetables in the forest. Then, holding a stone knife, he quietly approached them from the tree.
When he reached the top of one of them, Jiang Xuan slowly climbed down from the tree, making almost no sound.
Then, holding the stone knife, he quietly came behind the Crow Tribe warrior.
Jiang Xuan covered his mouth with one hand, and then the stone knife instantly cut his throat.
"puff!"
Blood gushed out instantly, and this time, Jiang Xuan did not show any signs of discomfort.
The Crow Tribe warrior opened his eyes wide, struggled frantically for a moment, and then gradually lost his strength.
Jiang Xuan gently put the warrior down and walked towards another person.
The two soldiers were digging wild vegetables together, not far from each other.
"Why does it smell like blood?"
The Crow Tribe warrior had a very sensitive nose. He was digging wild vegetables when he smelled a strong smell of blood. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he looked back.
However, when he turned around, it was too late. Jiang Xuan had just come behind him, and when he saw him turning around, he rushed over, pressed him to the ground, covered his mouth, and then cut his neck.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
This Crow tribe warrior never thought before his death that he would be killed in the relatively safe vicinity of the tribe.
Jiang Xuan was able to remain calm after killing two people in a row, which was something he had never thought of before.
Perhaps, this is the change that the environment brings to people.
Afterwards, Jiang Xuan used the blood of the two men to draw two totem patterns of the Jackal Tribe on the tree next to the place where the two men were killed.
"This should make the Crow Tribe angry enough, right?"
After Jiang Xuan finished drawing the totem pattern, he wiped the blood off his fingers and quickly disappeared.
Not long after, a team of patrolling Crow Tribe warriors discovered the scratched totem pattern on the tree, as well as the Jackal Tribe totem pattern painted next to it.
"Damn it! Someone from the Jackal Tribe has been here. Find him!"
The Crow Tribe warriors gnashed their teeth and searched for the Jackal Tribe people in the forest.
However, they did not find any members of the Jackal Tribe, but they did find the bodies of two members of the tribe and a Jackal Tribe totem pattern painted in blood on a tree.
"Quick, report to the leader!"
Members of the tribe were killed, and they were killed around the tribe. This is an extremely serious matter.
The warriors of the Crow Tribe were not only very angry, but also felt an unspeakable fear, because no one knew how many people from the Jackal Tribe had come.
Soon, the leader of the Crow Tribe rushed to the forest with a large number of warriors and saw the corpses on the ground.
"Damn the Jackal Tribe!"
The leader of the Crow Tribe was extremely angry. He shouted, "Take the giant crows and find the people. I want to chop them up and roast them!"
"Mah, mah, mah..."
From the Crow Tribe, countless big crows came out, and they led the Crow Tribe warriors to search desperately in the nearby forest, but it was destined to be fruitless.
Because Jiang Xuan had already flown away on Tangyuan.
But he did not return to the Vine Tribe. Instead, he went to the Jackal Tribe again and almost copied the operations in the Crow Tribe.
Moreover, this time he also killed two ferocious jackals.
After he finished drawing the totem pattern of the Crow Tribe with blood, he muttered, "The two tribes won't verify the truth of this matter, right?"
Jiang Xuan thought about it and felt that it was unlikely, because after something like this happened, both parties must be very angry. How could they sit down and discuss calmly after meeting? They would definitely start fighting directly!
"Let's go home."
After Jiang Xuan finished all this, it was almost dark. He rode on Tangyuan and disappeared into the night.
He left, but the Jackal Tribe was in an uproar.
When the Jackal Tribe was in the Western Wilderness, they were the most notorious among the small tribes. They always bullied other small tribes, so how could they have ever been bullied by other small tribes?
What's more, the Crow Tribe had fought a war with them before, and the two sides had long had grudges against each other, which now became even deeper.
The leader of the Jackal tribe shouted, "We must kill all these damn crows!"
The people of the Jackal Tribe were so excited that they wanted to attack and destroy the Crow Tribe overnight.
However, there were many sober people in the Jackal Tribe. They knew that the Crow Tribe was not much weaker than them and it would be impossible to defeat them quickly.
But this vengeance must be avenged, otherwise I will not be able to explain to my tribesmen and the Jackal God.
Therefore, the Jackal Tribe needs to make adequate preparations before fighting another battle with the Crow Tribe.
Little did they know that the Crow Tribe thought the same way.
…
As for Jiang Xuan, after returning to his yard late at night, he ate something but felt no sleepiness at all.
He speculated over and over again about the consequences of what he did.
But the ideal situation is that the Crow Tribe and the Jackal Tribe go to war, with one of the tribes being destroyed and the other severely damaged.
A slightly worse scenario is that the two sides just fight, but the fight ends there and it doesn't have much impact on the tribe.
The worst case scenario is that the Crow Tribe and the Jackal Tribe discover the truth and temporarily join forces to attack the Vine Tribe.
However, Jiang Xuan had already asked the divine vine in advance. Now that the divine vine has the strength of a medium-sized tribal totem pattern, it should be able to block the attacks of these two tribes.
"Alas, it's useless to think too much. Let's go to sleep first."
Speculation is always speculation, because no one knows how many surprises reality will bring you.
The next day, Jiang Xuan got up early in the morning to check the defense situation around the tribe.
The Teng tribe dug a large number of tunnels, which also covered the forests surrounding the tribe.
There are two lines of defense around the Teng Tribe, one is the dangerous plant defense line, and the other is various traps and secret sentries.
Among them, the dangerous plants have begun to bear fruit after more than a year of cultivation.
The fastest growing ones are the cage vine and the biting flower.
The grafted cage vine has grown into a vine network, and its growth speed is astonishing.
These vine nets are usually spread on the ground and coexist with other plants. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly see them.
However, once prey steps into it, the cage vine will instantly bounce up, trapping the prey tightly, and at the same time insert paralyzing thorns into the prey, making the prey lose the ability to resist.
Jiang Xuan had suffered from the cage vine before, so he had the deepest impression of this dangerous plant.
The cage vines covered a large area, but the people of the vine tribe could enter and exit freely. It was not because the cage vines could recognize people, but because they had dug a very long tunnel that went underground where the cage vines grew.
The entrance of the tunnel is relatively hidden and camouflaged, so it is difficult to find it if you are not from the Teng tribe.
Next to the tunnel, there are secret sentries from the Teng tribe. They are responsible for taking turns to guard it every day, and they will blow the horn if there is an emergency.
After Jiang Xuan arrived, a hole suddenly appeared in a place covered with thorns, and two people crawled out from it.
"Hello, Chief."
It turned out that a big pit was dug in this place. A baffle was woven with wooden sticks on the top of the pit and covered with a large number of live thorns. When you need to go out or in, you just need to lift the baffle.
Jiang Xuan asked: "Did you find anything?"
One of the sentries said, "No, except for the occasional animal that breaks in, we haven't seen anyone from other tribes."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. When it rains, we have animal skins to keep out the rain. Food is delivered on time. Everyone is working, but we have to rest here all day. It's embarrassing."
Jiang Xuan said seriously: "You don't have to be embarrassed, because you are protecting the safety of the entire tribe. What you are doing is very important. Once the enemy comes, only you can send a signal to the tribe in time. Remember?"
The two secret sentries nodded hurriedly. After Jiang Xuan's words, they finally understood the meaning of squatting here.
"Okay, you guys keep watching this side, I'll go look somewhere else."
After Jiang Xuan left, the two secret sentries crawled into the pit again, covered themselves with thorns, and blended into the environment. If they didn't know that there were people here, it would be difficult to find this pit.
