Chapter 221: Pig Killing Banquet
Once the giant wild boars were dispersed, they lost the advantage of the wild boar cavalry in large-scale combat and were eventually defeated one by one.
"It's over. Everything is over."
The boar tribe leader ran to the river, his mount having died in the battle.
He looked at the soldiers behind him who were either captured or killed, and there was a look of despair in his eyes.
The warriors of the Teng tribe have already surrounded them, led by Jiang Xuan.
"Even if I die, I won't die in your hands!"
The leader of the wild boar tribe gritted his teeth, jumped directly, and jumped into the river with a "splash".
“Clatter…”
Soon, countless giant water scorpions swarmed in, bit the leader of the wild boar tribe to death, and dragged him into the water...
Jiang Xuan watched this scene without much change in his expression.
He was not a compassionate person, because he knew clearly that if the Teng God had not revived today, the people of the Teng tribe would have suffered the same fate.
"Eer..."
On the other side, the witch of the wild boar tribe wanted to commit suicide, but was discovered by the circling Tangyuan.
Tangyuan swooped down from the sky, grabbed the witch of the wild boar tribe with his huge claws, brought him up to the sky, and then threw him down again.
The witch of the Wild Boar Tribe fell from a high altitude, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and died.
After the death of the leader and the witch, the battle ended quickly.
One third of the Wild Boar Tribe's warriors were captured, and those who resisted were killed.
More than 3,000 giant wild boars were killed, and a small number were captured alive to become ingredients for the large pig-killing banquet of the Teng tribe.
"boom……"
Behind the altar, the wild boar god that had been sucked dry fell heavily to the ground, and was then wrapped by countless roots.
The sacred vine took root again, and the ground of the entire tribe was shaking slightly.
After breaking through to become a great god, the roots of the divine vine became thicker and covered a wider area.
At the same time, the main stem of the divine vine became extremely thick, like a twisted towering tree.
Most of the time, vine plants need to rely on other objects to grow, such as rocks, trees, etc.
No one knows how many years the divine vine has grown. Its body is very large, but it still needs to rely on a stone mountain to grow.
This time when he was transcending the tribulation, the huge stone mountain was split into pieces, and the previous body was gone.
As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. After the divine vine passed the tribulation, its stems and leaves all grew again. Once again, it strengthened the main stem and no longer needed to rely on any object.
The wild boar god was dragged by the roots to the bottom of the sacred vine and was completely wrapped by the roots.
It will become the nourishment of the divine vine. Whether it is flesh, fur, or even bones, it will slowly be absorbed by the divine vine.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
After the divine vine grew firmly, more than a hundred giant dragonflies flew around it several times, and then landed on the vines one after another.
After the giant dragonfly landed, mist rose around the divine vine, covering itself and the giant dragonfly. From the outside, only some vines could be seen, which looked very mysterious.
Seeing the god Teng return to take charge of the tribe, the members of the Teng tribe finally felt relieved.
Next comes processing the spoils.
Jiang Xuan distributed all the weapons, animal skins and other items to the Frog Tribe and the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
Among them, the Mountain Turtle Tribe accounted for the largest share, because the Mountain Turtle Tribe had many warriors and dispatched totem gods.
Although the warriors of the Frog Tribe performed well, they were few in number and their role was limited.
As for the Teng tribe, they actually didn't really need those animal skin clothes and weapons because they had better ones.
Since they can't be used, they might as well go with the flow and do a big favor to the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Frog Tribe. In the future, the relationship between them and the Vine Tribe will definitely be closer.
Next up are the giant wild boars.
Those giant wild boars of huge size are treasures to the tribesmen.
Its fur can be made into hides, its fangs can be sharpened into weapons, its meat can be eaten, and its bones can be ground into various tools.
More than three thousand giant wild boars, this is a huge fortune.
After discussion, the Vine Tribe received 2,500 heads, the Mountain Turtle Tribe received 400 heads, and the Frog Tribe received more than 100 heads.
It seems like the Teng tribe got a great advantage, but that's not the case.
Because Jiang Xuan promised to help them deal with these giant wild boars.
The weather is hot now, and most of these giant wild boars have been killed. If they are not processed as soon as possible, the meat will quickly go bad. Such a result is totally unacceptable to the tribesmen.
For the next whole day, all the members of the Vine Tribe, as well as the warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the members of the Frog Tribe, were all dealing with those giant wild boars.
To this end, the Teng tribe provided a large amount of firewood, spices, and the most important salt.
Marinating wild boar meat with spices and salt can help preserve its freshness. If it is then smoked dry over firewood, it can be stored for a long time.
As we all know, salt is a very precious thing among the tribes.
Therefore, the Vine Tribe used salt and spices to help the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Frog Tribe process the wild boar meat, which touched the two tribes very much.
That night, Jiang Xuan took out hundreds of giant wild boars from the portion of giant wild boars that the Teng Tribe was entitled to, and prepared a pig-killing banquet to entertain the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Frog Tribe to thank them for coming to help in the battle.
“Crackle, crackle…”
In the open space in front of the altar, hundreds of bonfires lit up the night.
All the members of the Vine Tribe, the warriors of the Frog Tribe and the Mountain Turtle Tribe gathered around the campfire, eating the pig-killing dishes, singing and dancing, and they were very happy.
Today's pig-killing dishes are particularly rich, including stewed pork bones, roasted pork, pork liver and intestines soup, seasonal fruits and vegetables, fish, shrimp, crabs, etc.
Even the members of the Vine Tribe seldom ate so much. The warriors from the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Frog Tribe were like starving ghosts, stuffing food into their stomachs desperately until they could eat no more.
Next to a bonfire in the middle, Jiang Xuan, Chi Shao, Lao Wu, Shan Jia and Huo Meng sat around a wooden table.
The wooden table is made of wooden boards with mortise and tenon structures and bronze nails. It is a bit rough, but it is sturdy.
Various dishes were placed on the wooden table, and each person also had an exquisite pottery bowl, a pair of exquisite chopsticks made of animal teeth, and a spoon made of animal bones.
There were several soldiers standing by to help them cook, serve food, grill meat, roast bones, etc.
"Chief Pancake, Chief Fire Fierce, come, come, try the red crystal rice from our Teng tribe."
Jiang Xuan greeted them warmly and served each of them a large bowl of red crystal rice.
The red crystal rice is the size of a red date, each one is crystal clear and has a fragrant aroma.
Shanjia smelled the charming aroma, rubbed his hands, and said, "Then I won't be polite."
He first picked up the chopsticks like Jiang Xuan, but after using them for a few times, he felt uncomfortable. Then he switched to a spoon, which was indeed much more convenient.
The pangolin put a spoonful of red crystal rice into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and his eating speed increased significantly.
He puffed his cheeks, gave Jiang Xuan a thumbs up, and said incoherently, "It's delicious, really delicious!"
"Hahaha, if it's delicious, eat more. All you can eat!"
"Come on, come on, don't be polite, let's eat together."
Under Jiang Xuan's warm invitation, several people started eating.
Such a table of food and these tablewares are too luxurious for people from other tribes.
Even the old witch, after comparing the Eagle Tribe and the Vine Tribe, had to admit that in terms of food, the East Wilderness Eagle Tribe was far inferior to the Vine Tribe.
After a hearty meal, the pangolin filled his stomach and finally had time to talk.
He said to Jiang Xuan with envy: "Chief Xuan, the vine god has become a great god, and you will soon be able to become a great tribe."
Hearing the word "big tribe", Huo Meng's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "That means we have become a subsidiary tribe of the big tribe!"
Given the small size of the Frog Tribe, being able to become a subsidiary tribe of a larger tribe is a huge blessing for them.
Jiang Xuan heard Shan Jia's words, but waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no... Our Teng tribe has a population of less than 3,000. It is a small tribe, and there is a big gap between it and a medium-sized tribe."
After hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Shanjia and Huo Meng felt complicated.
Who has ever seen a small tribe with a great god? Who has ever seen a small tribe that can make a big tribe retreat and defeat two medium-sized tribes in succession? If the Vine Tribe is still a small tribe, then aren't the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Frog Tribe small tribes? Even the old witch glanced at Jiang Xuan. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.
But Jiang Xuan pretended not to see their looks. No matter who asked, he would tell them that the Teng tribe was a small tribe.
Many times, the harm caused by false fame far outweighs the benefits.
Compared to false fame, Jiang Xuan values the continued expansion of the basic strength of the Teng tribe more, because they cannot rely on the Teng God forever.
The biggest problem of the Teng tribe is that it has developed too quickly and for too short a time, and it has an insufficient population and a weak foundation.
Food and various supplies can still be solved by finding ways, but problems such as insufficient population and weak warriors must be accumulated over a period of time.
Of course, the population can be expanded rapidly through plundering, but the people of each tribe have different living habits, beliefs, and even accents, and they are not very loyal to the new tribe.
These things can only be solved bit by bit over time, and you can't do it faster.
Without considering the Teng God, the Teng tribe is just a small tribe, and it is a small tribe with many problems and a relatively weak foundation.
Jiang Xuan has a very clear understanding of this.
If you think that the Teng tribe is really a big tribe just because you are lucky, have won a few battles and have been praised by others, then you are a complete fool.
In the Teng tribe, the carnival is still going on. These warriors who have been walking between life and death for years rarely enjoy such indulgence. Everyone hopes that this night can last a little longer.
In the middle of the night, Nanxing was ordered to take a group of warriors who were very loyal to the Teng tribe, and transport a batch of food similar to the pig-killing banquet, and followed Fengcao to deliver it to the outside through the secret passage in the vine wall.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's put it here. Chief Nanxing, go back and thank the leader on our behalf."
Nanxing nodded. He knew something about Fengcao's work, and because of that, he respected Fengcao very much.
"Eat more. If it's not enough, just shout at the gate and we'll send more."
Feng Cao felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Okay!"
"Let's go back."
Nanxing waved his hand and led the soldiers back through the secret passage.
After Fengcao waited for them to leave, he held up the torch and looked around, saying, "Come out, everyone."
Soon, hundreds of members of the Thorn Vine team came out from everywhere.
They looked at the piles of food and smelled the aroma, and everyone was drooling.
Usually, they disguise themselves as tourists and travel around to collect intelligence. It is very hard and dangerous, and they eat and wear very poorly.
However, in order for the Teng tribe to develop better, someone must make such sacrifices.
After everyone gathered around, Fengcao said to them, "Today, the tribe has survived a crisis, and everyone inside is celebrating."
"The leader specifically instructed me to take out a portion of each type of food and give it to our members of the Thorn Vine to eat."
“Brothers and sisters, even though we can’t celebrate with everyone inside, the leader hasn’t forgotten us, and the tribe hasn’t forgotten us!”
"We have all the food that other warriors have. Today, we are celebrating here. Everyone can eat as much as they can. You just heard that if there is not enough food, the tribe will send us more!"
After hearing Fengcao's words, many members of the Thorn Vine team had tears in their eyes.
People like them, who have been wandering around for a long time, are very afraid of being forgotten by the tribe.
Fortunately, the leader was thinking about them, and the tribe didn’t forget them!
Fengcao opened all the food, lit a few bonfires on the ground, and called out, "Come, come, everyone, come and eat."
The members of the Thorn Vine team gathered around, listening to the laughter and singing coming from the tribe from time to time, and happily enjoying the food.
Everyone in the tribe and outside was happy.
…
The next morning, the frog tribe warriors returned to the tribe with rich spoils.
When the Frog Tribe wizard saw the large piles of weapons, animal skins, and the one hundred giant wild boars, he was silent for a moment, then turned around and returned to his house.
Huo Meng has proved through many practical actions that under his leadership, the Frog Tribe has developed better than before.
The witch can rest assured and focus all his energy on training the next witch.
Not long after the Frog Tribe settled here, he selected a girl named Green Clothes from the tribe to train as his heir.
Green Clothes has a gentle personality, is smart, and has good talents. He believes that Green Clothes will be a good wizard in the future.
Huo Meng looked at Wu's back, sighed slightly, and then asked his tribesmen to immediately pack up the spoils and put them properly.
Especially the wild boar meat, which comes in large quantities and can be stored as food for the winter.
At noon, the Mountain Turtle Tribe finished packing up, left the Vine Tribe, and returned to the Big Swamp.
This time, the Mountain Turtle Tribe received a lot of spoils and wild boars. With these things, their population can be greatly increased in the future.
