Chapter 35 The Mosquito Tribe is Coming
The bird-billed mosquito flew all the way south and finally arrived near the swamp.
On an open space next to the swamp, more than fifty hunting team warriors of the Mosquito Tribe built a temporary shelter against a big tree and lit a bonfire.
The roof of the shelter was made of the giant shield made by Jiang Xuan.
Among these Mosquito Tribe hunting team warriors, the leader is a middle-aged man. He is the leader of the Mosquito Tribe hunting team, named Tiger Mosquito.
The tiger mosquito is not tall, but it has a strong aura and fierce eyes, giving people a sense of danger.
On his face, in addition to the totem pattern of the Mosquito Tribe, there were three horizontal lines painted in green, red and yellow respectively.
This means that he is a powerful three-color warrior!
“Buzz…”
The huge bird-beaked mosquito flew back and landed on the tiger mosquito's shoulder.
"Did you find anything?"
Tiger Mosquito's voice is a bit rough and hoarse, which makes him look more ferocious.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
The bird-billed mosquito's wings made a special sound and flew up, flew a short distance to the south, and then flew back to the tiger mosquito's shoulder.
This is a very unique way of communication that can only be understood by the Mosquito Tribe members who have been in contact with bird-billed mosquitoes for a long time.
Tiger Mosquito glanced at the jungle to the south, then glanced at the giant shield above his head, and said, "There really are other tribes in this forest."
A person nearby asked, "Leader, should we go there?"
Tiger Mosquito said in a deep voice: "No hurry, we are not familiar with this forest. We will go to explore this tribe after daybreak."
"Listen to the leader."
The fifty or so soldiers echoed the sentiment, and then quietly roasted food on the campfire.
Some of their food was prey hunted during the day, some was wild vegetables dug up nearby, and some wild fruits.
In the woods around them, there are more than a dozen bird-billed mosquitoes foraging for food. When they are tired, they stop on the branches to rest. When encountering dangerous situations, these bird-billed mosquitoes will also issue warnings.
After eating, they left two people to keep watch while the others lay down beside the campfire to rest.
There are more than a dozen bird-billed mosquitoes guarding the campfire. Ordinary mosquitoes dare not approach it at all, or if they approach they will be eaten by the bird-billed mosquitoes as food.
Therefore, these mosquito tribe members do not have to worry about being bitten by mosquitoes and can sleep peacefully in the jungle.
It rained heavily that night, but because the roof was built in advance, the hunting team's campfire was not extinguished.
The next day, led by Bird-Billed Mosquito, the Mosquito Tribe hunting team quietly moved towards the direction of the Vine Tribe.
But the people of Teng tribe had no idea that danger was approaching!
…
May 15th, the first year since the establishment of the Teng Tribe, was a sunny day.
“It’s a nice day today!”
Jiang Xuan came out of the bamboo house. At this time, the sky was blue and the sky in the east was just beginning to turn pale.
It rained heavily last night, washing the forest clean and making the air much fresher.
Jiang Xuan walked to the open space in front of the bamboo house and found that the leaves of the fan grass had stretched out again. They were like small fans, swaying slightly in the wind, which was very beautiful.
He walked to the pond again. It rained heavily last night and the water level in the pond was very high. Water was still flowing out of the outlet.
"Luckily, we blocked the water inlet last night, otherwise the water would have flooded the pond embankment and all the fish would have escaped."
After several months of hard work, Teng Tribe now has three ponds.
The first pond is in front of the bamboo house, the second pond is in the middle of the cultivated land, and the third pond is at the end of the cultivated land.
These ponds are not only used to raise fish, but the water in the ponds can also be used to irrigate crops in the fields when the weather is dry.
Not only that, there are also a large number of frogs, toads and other species breeding in the pond, which eat a lot of insects every night.
Jiang Xuan walked not far when he found someone squatting on the ground busying himself. He had actually gotten up earlier than him.
Jiang Xuan walked over curiously and found that the person was Gan Song.
"Gansong!" Jiang Xuan shouted.
"leader."
Gan Song turned around and found it was Jiang Xuan. He quickly stood up and greeted him. He was holding a small stone hoe in his hand, which was covered with mud.
"What are you doing here so early?"
"Chief, it rained heavily last night and was windy, and the bamboo grass and clapping flowers that we just planted yesterday were blown down. I propped them up and added some soil."
Jiang Xuan walked over to take a look and saw that indeed, quite a few insect-eating plants had been torn crooked by the heavy rain and strong wind. Some of them had been propped up by sweet pine and a lot of soil had been piled up along the roots.
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "It's rare that you care about these plants. Thank you for your hard work."
Gan Song immediately shook his head and said, "It's not hard. This is what I should do."
Jiang Xuan patted his thick shoulders and said, "I have seen everything you have done for the tribe, Gan Song. The tribe will not treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, Chief."
Gan Song grinned, revealing a row of neat teeth. To be recognized by the leader was a spiritual encouragement to him, which made him more motivated.
Since losing an arm, he has become stronger than before and more eager for recognition from others. He doesn't want to be looked down upon by others.
This is also the reason why he worked so hard after arriving at the Teng Tribe.
Jiang Xuan squatted down and worked with Gan Song to straighten the leaning plants and add soil, then they went back to the bamboo house to have breakfast.
After dinner, Jiang Xuan continued to polish a hard leg bone of a bighorn sheep.
He had been grinding this leg bone for several days, and the end was very sharp.
After grinding it, he used a bark rope to tie the leg bone tightly to a spear shaft made of purple blood tree, and coated it with highly sticky fish bladder glue to prevent it from falling off.
After everything was done, a solid bone spear was ready.
“Hoohoo!”
Jiang Xuan waved the newly made bone spear a few times and felt it was very handy, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"The bamboo spear is too light and too powerful, so it's not easy to use. The bone spear is better."
Jiang Xuan used to use a bamboo spear. As his strength grew, his power became several times greater than before, and the light bamboo spear was obviously no longer suitable.
Because of this, he used the hard leg bones of bighorn sheep to grind a bone spear. Although it took a lot of time, it was still worth it.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
Just when Jiang Xuan had made the bone spear and was about to go into the mountains to hunt, he suddenly heard the buzzing sound of insect wings flapping.
The buzzing sound was not as loud as that made by the giant dragonfly, but it was very dense, obviously there was more than one.
At this moment, Gan Song, who was working in the distance, shouted, "It's the giant mosquito, the mosquito tribe is coming!"
This loud roar alarmed everyone in the Teng tribe.
Those tourists had witnessed the brutality of the Mosquito Tribe, and they screamed and ran towards the bamboo house, trying to seek shelter from the warriors of the Vine Tribe.
Jiang Xuan, Chishao, Uncaria, Shiqiu and Nanxing immediately picked up their spears, short spears, bows and arrows and prepared to fight the enemy.
When leaving, Chishao grabbed Jiang Xuan and said seriously, "Xuan, if there are too many people coming, you should run first and hide at the foot of the stone mountain. I will buy time for you."
Jiang Xuan said anxiously: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? I am the leader of the tribe!"
After saying this, Jiang Xuan was about to break free from Chishao and continue running forward.
Chishao held Jiang Xuan tightly and said, "Xuan, listen to me!"
Jiang Xuan's eyes turned slightly red and he turned around and stared at Chishao.
Chishao looked into Jiang Xuan's eyes and said, "Listen to me, our Teng tribe is too small. There are only a few of us. If the leader is gone, then everything will be gone."
"It doesn't matter if I die. As long as you are still here, the tribe will be here."
Chishao reached out and stroked Jiang Xuan's face, and said gently: "You are my only relative, I will never let anything happen to you, understand?"
Jiang Xuan's eyes instantly turned red. He nodded with difficulty, then rushed out resolutely. Chi Shao followed closely behind him, running in front of him with all his strength.
