Chapter 311 The Mountain Turtle Tribe’s Decision
After the sacrifice was completed, the overall strength of the Teng tribe was greatly improved, and it officially became a truly large tribe.
This change had a profound impact on the Teng tribe and the surrounding tribes.
The attitudes of various tribes towards the Teng Tribe have undergone great changes.
In the Mountain Turtle Tribe, Shanjia, who had just returned from a grand sacrifice, immediately found the witch and talked to her about a major event that would affect the entire Mountain Turtle Tribe.
"Wu, the Teng tribe has announced that it has become a large tribe."
"It's as expected. The Teng Tribe already has this strength."
The Shaman of the Mountain Turtle Tribe was not at all surprised by this, but his mood was still a little complicated.
In just a few years, the Teng tribe developed rapidly from a small tribe to a large tribe, and they have lived there ever since and have never migrated.
This is an amazing miracle, it can even be called a miracle.
If it were other tribes, the food problem alone would greatly restrict the development of the tribal population.
But the Teng tribe relies on unique planting and breeding methods to feed tens of thousands of people with limited land.
After Shanjia said that, he fell into a long silence. He looked at the flames in the fire pit that kept jumping. He was very conflicted and didn't know whether he should say what he was thinking.
Wu raised his eyelids and said, "There are only two of us here, just say whatever you want to say."
Shanjia took a deep breath, raised his head slightly and looked at Wu's face, and said, "Wu, I think the Vine Tribe will definitely go to the central region in the future. I want... I want our Mountain Turtle Tribe to go with them."
When Wu heard the word "central", a strange light appeared in his eyes, but soon the light dimmed.
"Of course I also want to go to the central region. That is the ancestral land of our Mountain Turtle Tribe. The remains of the old turtle god are still there. But with the current strength of our Mountain Turtle Tribe, we cannot survive in the central region. Don't forget that the Red Ant Tribe is still there."
The Red Ant Tribe was the culprit that caused the Old Turtle God to fall and the Mountain Turtle Tribe to be forced to migrate. They were also the number one enemy of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
With the strength of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, how can they fight against the Red Ant Tribe? Shanjia hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "What if we become a subsidiary tribe of the Vine Tribe?"
"Become a subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe?"
Wu looked at the pangolin in astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief and difficulty in accepting.
"Panora, do you know what you are talking about?"
Becoming a subordinate tribe means losing freedom and autonomy, which is difficult for any tribe to accept.
It was hard for Wu to imagine what kind of stimulation Shanjia had received in the Teng tribe that led him to have such an idea.
"Wu, of course I know what I'm talking about."
After speaking out what was in his heart, the pangolin became calm instead.
"Wu, you know the Frog Tribe, right? They migrated all the way here from the far west wilderness, specifically to join the Vine Tribe. They are also the first affiliated tribe of the Vine Tribe."
"When they first migrated here, there were only about a hundred people left. There was no guardian deity, and there were only a few giant frogs in the tribe."
"But after the Frog Tribe became a subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe, they gained a safe territory and learned how to farm and domesticate animals, as well as make various tools from the Vine Tribe. The Vine Tribe even found a patron saint for them!"
"In just a few years, the Frog Tribe has grown from a population of over a hundred to 700 to 800. And because it is close to the trading area of the Vine Tribe, it has gained a lot of benefits and lives a prosperous life."
"It can be said that if the Frog Tribe had not chosen to become a subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe, they might have been wiped out long ago. How could they have the life they have today?"
After listening to Shanjia's words, Wu remained silent for a long time. Obviously, he had heard about the affairs of the Frog Tribe a long time ago, but he had never thought deeply about the changes in the Frog Tribe.
Shanjia said again: "Witch, take a look at our Mountain Turtle Tribe. Before the Vine Tribe appeared, we lived here for hundreds of years, but the population of the tribe has not developed much. If it weren't for guarding the mushroom forest, I'm afraid our life would be even more difficult."
“But after the Vine Tribe showed up, our Mountain Turtle Tribe joined them and defeated several powerful tribes. We obtained a large amount of spoils of war. The strength of the tribe increased very quickly, and the Turtle God also successfully broke through.”
"If, I mean if, one day the Teng tribe really moves to the central region, and we still stay here, how long will it take for us to develop and become a large tribe? How long will it take for us to take revenge, and how long will it take for us to welcome back the remains of the old turtle god?"
"I think becoming a subsidiary tribe of the Vine Tribe might be an option. At least we can grow faster and return to the central region faster to seek revenge on the Red Ant Tribe and bring back the remains of the old turtle god."
After Shanjia finished saying all this in one breath, he felt both relieved and a little uneasy, because these words were too bold. If it were normal times, he would never speak like this in front of the witch.
Wu became even more silent. He really wanted to refute Shanjia's words, but after thinking for a long time, he still didn't know how to refute.
Finally, Wu said with difficulty: "You...go back first, let me think about it."
Shanjia stood up, bowed respectfully to Wu, and said, "Wu, I may have been a little too impulsive just now, please forgive me."
Wu waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
"Then I'll go back first."
Shanjia turned and left the witch's house. The witch was left alone. He faced the fire pit and fell into deep thought. The firelight reflected on his face, making it bright and dark.
…
In early October, heavy snow began to fall in the northwest of the Southern Wilderness. The thick snow will freeze the land for most of the winter, and all things will try to hide.
On the ninth day of October, a violent earthquake suddenly occurred near the Teng tribe. At the same time, there were lightning and thunder in the sky.
“Boom…”
The ground was shaking continuously, the snow on the trees was falling down, and some loose rocks were also breaking away from the mountain and rolling down.
With such a terrible earthquake, the Teng tribe would naturally be affected.
“Buzz!”
At the critical moment, the divine vine woke up in time and propped up a huge shield-shaped barrier for the entire vine tribe. At the same time, it used all its roots to stabilize the ground so that the ground would not crack in the earthquake.
Under the protection of the sacred vine, most of the houses of the vine tribe were preserved. Only some houses that were not very solid to begin with collapsed, killing and injuring several tribesmen.
"Why would there be an earthquake suddenly?"
Jiang Xuan put on his animal skin coat and ran outside. The huge purple snake sculpture Tangyuan and the black wind rhinoceros Yueya both ran to his side, lying on the ground and shivering.
“Crack!”
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck in the sky, and the dazzling light illuminated the gray sky.
"Xuan, are you okay?"
Chishao also ran out from the yard, quickly ran to Jiang Xuan, and looked at him nervously.
"I'm fine. Fortunately, I'm protected by the God of Fuji. Otherwise, such a severe earthquake would have collapsed the entire house."
Chishao looked at Jiang Xuan's whole body and found that he was indeed not injured, and he immediately felt relieved.
The two of them stood in the snow, and when the frequency of the earthquakes decreased, they immediately went to various parts of the tribe, organizing witch doctors from the witch hospital to treat the affected people, and checking the losses caused by the earthquake.
Until the next day, the ground was still shaking from time to time. If it weren't for the divine vine that had been protecting the tribe, the Teng tribe would probably have suffered heavy losses this time.
On the third day, the earthquake finally subsided, but the sky in the north was covered with dark clouds, and loud noises were heard from time to time, which made people feel nervous.
Jiang Xuan looked towards the north and said to himself, "Something must have happened over there. Once the tribe is settled, I have to go over and see what's going on."
Jiang Xuan had a hunch that this huge change might have a huge and far-reaching impact.
