Chapter 317: Dredging the River
It was extremely rare for the four gods to gather in the Teng Tribe. People from other tribes and tourists in the trading area suddenly became panic-stricken, fearing that they would be suddenly dragged into the war.
Even the members of the Teng tribe were confused, but they were not afraid. Some warmongers were even excited and couldn't wait to know where the enemy was.
Beside the riverbank, Jiang Xuan and Chishao stood side by side. He looked at the four totem gods and felt a strange sense of accomplishment.
Jiang Xuan turned to face Shen Teng: "Shen Teng, we can start now."
“Buzz…”
The huge divine vine released terrifying fluctuations of divine power, and rays of emerald green divine light fell on the Turtle God, Giant Claw God, Frog God and Otter God, causing them to tremble all over.
“Let’s get started!”
The voice of Shen Teng was as loud as thunder, echoing throughout the entire Teng tribe.
The Turtle God nodded first, then walked to the upper reaches of the Flying Fish River. His body quickly grew larger until it formed a flesh dam, blocking the entire river, and the flow of the downstream was directly cut off.
“Whoosh!”
After the river stopped flowing, the Giant Claw God took the lead and dived into the river. Using its sharp claws, it directly cut up the large rocks on the riverbed with great efficiency.
The Otter God reluctantly followed the Giant Claw God to clear the silt at the bottom of the river and widen the narrow river channel.
“Quack…”
The Frog God was at the end, and his webbed feet became very large, so that he could act like a bulldozer, pushing the reefs and silt cleared by the Giant Claw God and the Otter God onto the shore.
The four totem gods worked together with amazing efficiency and quickly cleared the river within the territory of the Teng tribe. Not only did they clear away those annoying reefs, they also expanded the depth and width of the river.
What happened in the river shocked and stunned everyone who witnessed it.
"This...is this the solution the leader mentioned?"
Jingjie stood beside the river, looking at the four totem gods working hard, and felt that his brain was not enough.
Normally, totem gods are highly respected in every tribe. Why would they do such hard labor?
Jing Jie turned to look at Jiang Xuan, who was still calm, and swallowed hard: "A leader is a leader. Who among the ordinary tribesmen would dare to think of ordering the totem gods of other tribes to clean up the river?" When the four totem gods began to clean up the river outside the territory of the Teng tribe, more outsiders and tourists saw this scene.
“Is this… the Great Tribe?”
Huo Meng, the leader of the Frog Tribe, stood not far from the river, watching the frog god of his tribe working with other totem gods, and his mood was extremely complicated.
On the one hand, he was very glad that the Frog Tribe could rely on such a powerful Vine Tribe and made the right choice so far.
But on the other hand, the totem god of the tribe felt more or less uncomfortable being driven to do such hard labor.
However, he soon felt relieved because the totem gods of other tribes were also working, so the Frog Tribe had nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Besides, if it weren’t for Jiang Xuan, the Frog Tribe wouldn’t even have a totem god, and it would be a big question whether they could survive, let alone dignity.
In this primitive era, only strength can bring dignity. For a tribe that cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing, it is easy to starve to death if you talk about dignity.
“Boom…”
In the river, the four gods' cleansing is still going on.
"I can't hold on any longer, you guys go ashore first!"
Upstream, after being intercepted by the Turtle God, the water level rose rapidly, and as time went on, it was about to overflow.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
The Otter God, the Giant Claw God, and the Frog God immediately left the river and ran to the shore.
"roar!"
The Turtle God roared towards the sky, and a green water wave shield appeared on his body. Then he flew into the sky under the huge water pressure.
“Clatter…”
The water accumulated in the Feiyu River suddenly rushed downstream, washing away all the small reefs, mud and sand. The scene was very spectacular.
After the river water returns to normal level, the turtle god goes into the water again to act as a dam to block the water, while other totem gods continue to work in the river, and this cycle repeats.
Since the river is very long, it is obviously unrealistic to clean up the entire river section from the vines to the middle.
It is impossible that these tribes have always been without the protection of totem gods.
Therefore, according to Shen Teng's request, they only needed to clean up the river between the Teng Tribe and the Otter Tribe.
As the Otter Tribe continues to move towards the central part, the river will gradually become larger and deeper, and the possibility of large ships running aground on reefs will be reduced accordingly.
In the next half month, the four totem gods worked diligently to clean the river. Such a spectacular miracle attracted many people from other tribes to stop and watch.
At the same time, the reputation of the Teng tribe spread through word of mouth after being blessed by miracles, and resounded throughout all the nearby tribes.
So when the members of the Teng tribe go out, as long as they have the totem pattern of the Teng tribe on their bodies, people from other tribes will not dare to provoke them easily.
Half a month later, the entire river channel from the Teng Tribe to the Otter Tribe was cleared. Not only were the reefs and silt removed, but even the more winding river channels were straightened, greatly reducing the difficulty of navigation.
The four totem gods finally ended their days of hard labor day and night and returned to their respective tribes.
…
Southern Wilderness, Otter Tribe.
"roar!"
In the river bend, the otter god rushed out of the water, growled, and then rushed into the forest, gnawing at the big trees frantically.
“Boom boom boom…”
One after another, large trees fell quickly under the sharp teeth of the otter god, and the animals on the trees screamed and fled.
Giant otters are very good at gnawing trees. As a totem god, the otter god is naturally even more powerful. Before long, all the trees in a forest have been gnawing down by it, leaving only fresh tree stumps.
In the Otter Tribe, the Otter Tribe leader Lu Zhu and the Otter Tribe witch watched this scene and wanted to say something, but in the end they wisely kept their mouths shut.
They knew very well that the reason why the Otter God was venting his anger like this was because he had been forced by the Vine Tribe to do hard labor for so long, and he inevitably felt aggrieved.
At times like this, it’s better not to get into trouble.
In the forest, after venting his anger, the otter god finally calmed down a little. He crawled back to the river, dived into the water with a "splash", and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“It’s finally over.”
Lu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the members of the Otter Tribe to drag back the fallen trees.
Wood is also a very important thing for the tribal people. Whether it is used to make tools, build houses, or as firewood, it can play a big role.
So many trees cannot be wasted.
However, just when Lu Zhu thought that the matter was over, a few days later, the fleet of the Teng tribe came down the river in a mighty manner.
Along with the fleet came hundreds of soldiers from the fishing team and more than 2,000 soldiers from the second hunting team! (End of this chapter)
