Chapter 187: Surprise
"What a powerful tribe!"
In the Teng Tribe, Ye looked at the tall stone mountains, the long vine walls, and the Teng Tribe members working in the fields, and he was greatly shocked.
Everything in the Teng tribe was new to him, such as the neatly arranged farmland, various strange tools, tall houses, wooden boats and bamboo rafts...
When he was in the Que Tribe, he thought the Mountain Turtle Tribe was very powerful, but after coming to the Teng Tribe, he found that the Mountain Turtle Tribe was nothing at all.
Most of the people from other tribes were pale and thin, wearing tattered animal skins or even grass skirts.
In the Teng tribe, almost everyone looks strong, and their clothes have few holes and look relatively new.
This was what surprised Ye the most, because it showed that the Teng tribe was very wealthy and could provide its people with enough food and clothing every day.
Not even the Raptor Tribe can do that.
"Chief Ye, how about our Teng tribe? Is it worthy of fighting side by side?"
Jiang Xuan took Ye, the leader of the Que tribe, for a walk and then asked him questions.
Ye gave a thumbs up and said, "The Teng Tribe is indeed powerful. Chief Xuan, don't worry, the Que Tribe will definitely join you in attacking the Raptor Tribe."
Jiang Xuan and Shanjia looked at each other, and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They finally won over the Que tribe.
"Chief Ye, you must be hungry after walking for so long. Let's go to my place and have something to eat first."
Ye said embarrassedly: "I am really a little hungry."
"Come on, the food is ready."
Jiang Xuan took Ye and Shanjia back to his yard, where soldiers had already prepared food.
The three of them ate and talked, and set the date for attacking the Raptor Tribe to be ten days later.
The reason why it takes so many days is that the three tribes are quite far apart, and it takes ten days to gather near the Raptor Tribe.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Xuan rode Tangyuan again and sent Shanjia and Ye back to their respective tribes.
Jiang Xuan went to the Unicorn Tribe again, told them the time of the attack, and asked them to prepare in advance.
Afterwards, Jiang Xuan returned to the Teng tribe and began to gather people to prepare for battle.
It takes about eight days to travel from the Vine Tribe to the Raptor Tribe, but the warriors of the Vine Tribe all have mounts, so their marching speed is much faster than walking.
A day later, Jiang Xuan gathered more than 1,500 soldiers, about half of whom were prisoners with good performance.
Jiang Xuan dispersed them into different teams and asked the warriors of the Teng tribe to supervise them.
And he promised them that if they performed well in this battle, they could officially join the Teng tribe and become members of the Teng tribe.
As for the remaining captives, most of them were ordinary people with little fighting ability. Jiang Xuan left behind thirty soldiers to guard them. If anyone dared to take the opportunity to cause trouble, they would be killed directly.
Jiang Xuan sent someone to notify the Frog Tribe.
As a subordinate tribe of the Teng Tribe, they need to send at least half of their warriors to assist the Teng Tribe in fighting. This is one of the costs of being a subordinate tribe.
The Frog Tribe was very reluctant because their population was less than two hundred and they needed a long time to recuperate.
However, Huo Meng knew very well that they had to join the war, otherwise they would lose the trust of the Teng tribe.
In the end, the Frog Tribe sent out eighty warriors to fight along with the Vine Tribe's army.
On the night of June 18th, Jiang Xuan gathered all the warriors of the Teng tribe who were above three colors, including the leaders, to Chishao's yard and took out the bronze weapons that had been camouflaged with paint.
"These new weapons are the biggest secret of our Teng tribe. You should hide them after you get them and use them in battle. If you leak the secrets, you will be severely punished. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Okay, now come here and choose the appropriate weapons."
On the ground, there are a large number of bronze weapons that have been painted grayish white, including bronze axes, bronze daggers, wooden-handled spears, feather arrows, etc.
Everyone selected their favorite weapon, wrapped it in animal skins, and took it back to their homes.
On the morning of June 19th, the Vine Tribe and the Frog Tribe were ready and set out on the expedition.
Outside the Teng tribe, more than 1,500 warriors gathered, with two people riding on a mount, carrying weapons, dry food, medicine and other things.
The tourists nearby and people from outside the tribe were terrified and hid further away.
“Boom!”
Above the stone mountain, the fog quickly dissipated, and the divine vine rose from the ground, floating in the air, emitting thousands of green lights. The terrifying divine power fluctuations were vast and powerful, and it was very scary.
Then, an even more shocking scene appeared.
“Ka-ka-ka…”
The tall vine wall grew rapidly, with the vines intertwining with each other, closing the gates on all four sides.
If it were usual, after the four gates were closed, Shen Teng would set off.
But today there are new changes.
The divine vine sprinkled a large amount of divine liquid along the vine wall, like rain.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
All the vines began to grow wildly again. They intertwined with each other, grew taller and thicker, and converged towards the center of the tribe.
Finally, an extremely large vine cover appeared and covered the entire vine tribe!
The members of the Teng tribe who stayed behind, as well as the captives, all looked up at the dense vines in the sky, too shocked to speak.
Fortunately, the vines were too thick and not intertwined very tightly, leaving plenty of gaps through which light could pass.
Otherwise, the Teng tribe would become dark and it would be hard to tell the difference between day and night.
However, with the protection of this huge vine cover, the tribesmen who stayed behind in the Vine Tribe would be very safe. They would not have to worry about anyone climbing in along the vine wall and taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, nor would they have to worry about the captives escaping.
"It seems Fuji God has become stronger again."
Outside the tribe, Jiang Xuan looked at the huge vine cover and his mouth opened in shock.
Chishao on the side nodded and said, "Tengshen is indeed stronger than before."
All the warriors outside the Teng tribe became more fanatical in their worship of the divine vine, while the captives were completely shocked. Even if they had some little thoughts before, they had to give them up at this moment.
After the vine cover was completed, the size of the divine vine quickly shrank and then flew over the heads of Jiang Xuan and others.
Jiang Xuan was in high spirits and shouted, "Let's go!"
"roar!"
Yueya raised her head and let out a roar that shook the mountains and forests, then led Jiang Xuan forward, followed closely by thirty rhinos, countless mountain sheep, and giant deer carrying the Teng tribe warriors.
"Eer..."
In the sky, Tangyuan flew forward to explore the way for the people of Teng tribe.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
More than sixty giant dragonflies formed a flying group, flying slowly over the forest.
“Quack…”
At the back of the team, Huo Meng set out with eighty frog tribe warriors and a group of giant frogs.
Because there are few giant frogs, Huo Meng and his companions can only ride on the mounts of the Vine Tribe warriors, so that they don't have to worry about falling behind.
…
Southern Wilderness, Mountain Turtle Tribe.
After Shanjia returned from the Teng Tribe, he immediately mobilized the warriors of the entire tribe to prepare for a decisive battle with the Raptor Tribe.
However, the next day after he returned, an accident happened.
…
Not long ago, the Raptor Tribe seized the Mushroom Forest from the Mountain Turtle Tribe, hoping to obtain the large amount of magical mushrooms contained therein.
However, they underestimated the horror of the mushroom forest.
Even though the warriors of the Raptor Tribe started the destruction from the outside, many people were still killed by various aggressive or poisonous mushrooms.
For example, they once found a large round gray mushroom and used stones to hit it from a distance, trying to smash it into pieces.
However, just as they threw a few stones over, the big gray mushroom burst directly, and a thick black smoke sprayed out from the broken place, covering more than a dozen warriors of the Raptor Tribe.
This thick black smoke was highly poisonous. When it dissipated, the dozen or so warriors from the Raptor Tribe were already dead.
There is also a kind of mushroom hidden underground. Once someone steps on it, it will suddenly spray out a large number of spores.
Once these spores get on human skin, that area of skin will immediately become extremely itchy. Some unlucky Raptor tribe warriors even scratched their skin.
After suffering several heavy losses, the Raptor Tribe finally couldn't hold on any longer. The young witch angrily called everyone back and temporarily stopped forcibly destroying the Mushroom Forest.
"Wu, what should we do now?"
The leader of the Raptor Tribe looked at the corpse not far away and felt fear for the Mushroom Forest.
The witch of the Raptor Tribe had a gloomy expression. After thinking for a moment, he said viciously, "Didn't you say that the Mountain Turtle Tribe can go in? Go and destroy the Mountain Turtle Tribe, capture them, and bring us in!"
The leader of the Raptor Tribe's eyes lit up and he said, "That's right, why don't we just catch them?"
The leader of the Raptor Tribe felt a little regretful. If they had not been so arrogant before and thought that they could conquer the Mushroom Forest by force, so many warriors would not have died.
"Let's go back first!"
They did not dare to attack the Mountain Turtle Tribe directly because the Mountain Turtle Tribe had a totem god.
But when they can go back and ask the totem god of the Raptor Tribe to go with them, the Mountain Turtle Tribe will definitely not be able to resist! At noon the day after Shan Jia returned from the Vine Tribe, the army of the Raptor Tribe also arrived.
"quack……"
Outside the Mountain Turtle Tribe, a terrifying bird cry suddenly sounded, shaking the mountains and forests.
“Ga ga ga…”
“Go!”
Then, a large number of Raptor Tribe warriors appeared riding on Raptors! "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The warriors who were responsible for guarding the outer perimeter of the Mountain Turtle Tribe started yelling wildly, and then the entire Mountain Turtle Tribe was in an uproar.
The pangolin, who was sharpening his weapon, changed his face drastically after hearing the shouting and rushed out immediately.
Then he saw the wooden fence shaking and collapsing quickly, and then countless warriors from the Raptor Tribe rushed into the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
“Prepare for battle!”
The pangolin roared, then climbed onto the back of the nearest giant mountain turtle with his weapon.
All the members of the Mountain Turtle Tribe rushed out with weapons in hand and fought against the Raptor Tribe in panic.
"roar!"
The totem god of the Mountain Turtle Tribe also moved. Its huge body was like a small mountain, ferociously crushing towards the warriors of the Raptor Tribe.
"ah……"
The warriors of the raptor tribe who were rushing in the front were directly knocked away by the huge body of the turtle god, or they were crushed into meat paste together with the raptors.
Screams, exclamations and other sounds merged into one.
“Gah…”
However, at this moment, the totem god of the raptor tribe also appeared. It ran towards the turtle god quickly and pecked at the turtle god frantically, making it unable to hurt other warriors of the raptor tribe.
Soon, the Mountain Turtle Tribe was in chaos, with fighting everywhere.
The pangolin stood on the back of a giant mountain tortoise, covered in blood from the killing.
He never expected that just as they had joined forces with the Vine Tribe, the Sparrow Tribe, and the Unicorn Tribe, the Raptor Tribe attacked first.
Under the current circumstances, the Mountain Turtle Tribe might not be able to survive until the arrival of the coalition forces.
"roar!"
The Turtle God watched helplessly as his tribesmen fell one by one, and let out an angry roar.
“Buzz…”
The divine power of the Turtle God surged wildly, and then its body quickly grew larger, and a layer of translucent turtle shell appeared on its back.
The tortoise shell became bigger and bigger, extending outward with the turtle god as the center, protecting the nearby mountain turtle tribe members under the tortoise shell.
“Gah…”
The bird-of-prey god pecked at the tortoise shell with its sharp beak and tore it with its sharp claws, but the tortoise shell did not move at all.
At this moment, the witch of the Mountain Turtle Tribe received instructions from the Turtle God and shouted loudly: "Everyone retreat to the Turtle God's belly!"
The fighting mountain turtle tribe warriors and the giant mountain turtles, after hearing the order, fought and retreated until they entered the protection range of the turtle shells.
Some warriors from the Raptor Tribe tried to rush in, but were blocked by the translucent turtle shell and could not get in at all.
When all the people in the Mountain Turtle Tribe entered the protection range of the turtle shell, the Mountain Turtle wiped the blood off his face, looked around, and almost cried.
In a very short period of fighting, at least one-third of the members of the Mountain Turtle Tribe died, and a number of giant mountain tortoises also died. The casualties were very heavy.
“Boom boom boom…”
Outside the turtle shell, the raptor god and countless raptor tribe warriors were still frantically attacking the translucent turtle shell.
Even the Turtle God couldn't withstand such an attack for long.
The only one who can do this is the old turtle god who was known to have unparalleled defensive power and could withstand the attacks of the totem gods of the big tribes.
"Wu, what should we do now?"
Shanjia ran to the witch. He was now extremely confused and could only hope that the old witch could give him some advice.
The old witch opened his eyes, apparently having received instructions from the Turtle God: "The Turtle God said, retreat to the Great Swamp."
"Are you giving up the tribe again?"
The pangolin felt very powerless and unwilling.
The last time the Crow Tribe attacked, they were forced to abandon their tribal settlement. They had finally rebuilt it, but now they have to give it up again.
The witch said to Shanjia: "As long as the turtle god is here, the tribe will be here. One day, we will come back!"
The pangolin looked at the countless birds of prey around him and the tribe that was being destroyed, and nodded painfully.
"roar!"
Just then, the Turtle God roared again and began to walk towards the swamp.
The Mountain Turtle Tribe lived right next to the Great Swamp. The Turtle God had grown so large that he could walk into the Great Swamp in just a few steps, and even the Raptor God could not stop him.
“Clatter…”
Giant turtles, carrying a large number of members of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, entered the water and, under the protection of the Turtle God, swam quickly into the swamp.
"They're going to run away!"
On the shore, the witch of the Raptor Tribe was anxious, but the huge turtle god blocked their way, and the warriors of the Raptor Tribe could not shoot arrows or throw spears.
In the end, they could only watch as the giant turtles swam deeper into the swamp. The Turtle God shrank in size and disappeared into the water.
"They ran away! They actually ran away!"
The shaman of the Raptor tribe was so angry that he kicked a dead mountain turtle next to him hard, but he forgot that the turtle shell was as hard as a rock. After the kick, the turtle let out a scream and sat down on the ground.
