Chapter 99 Harvest
"Boom!"
After killing the bloody bird-beaked mosquito, the divine vine became even more violent.
All its vines and roots attacked at the same time, quickly killing the bird-billed mosquitoes and mosquito tribe warriors.
The Mosquito Tribe warriors ran and cried, but they could not escape the fate of death.
The green light of the divine vine became stronger and stronger, because it absorbed countless nutrients, and its strength became even more terrifying.
With the joint efforts of the divine vine, giant dragonflies and vine tribe warriors, it didn't take long before the huge mosquito tribe was almost completely wiped out.
However, the people imprisoned in the pens outside the Mosquito Tribe managed to survive. The Shen Teng did not touch them, and the warriors of the Teng Tribe did not touch them either.
Because they are not from the Mosquito Tribe.
When everything was over, the roots of the divine vine quickly shrank and flew back into the sky.
The giant dragonflies also had a full meal and stopped on the big tree outside the mosquito tribe to rest.
The entire Mosquito Tribe has turned into a ruin covered with bones, and the name Mosquito Tribe will also become a history of the Southern Wilderness.
Jiang Xuan led his men into the Mosquito Tribe. Looking at the countless bones, he actually felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he was not a real native.
But this is the cruel primitive world. If you want to survive, you must fight for your life.
Fight against the weather, fight against people, fight against ferocious beasts, poisonous snakes and insects, and various dangerous plants.
If you are not ruthless enough, the person who will die may be yourself and everyone around you.
Jiang Xuan had no doubt that if the Teng Tribe was conquered, the people of the Mosquito Tribe would be even more brutal.
This was confirmed when he walked into a house that had not yet collapsed.
He saw an arm in the house, which was roasted over the fire. It was burnt and there was an unpleasant burnt smell in the air.
Next to the fire pit, there were a lot of human bones, with traces of chopping and teeth marks on them.
When Jiang Xuan saw all this, he felt horrified and at the same time felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
"A tribe of cannibals!"
Jiang Xuan ran out of the house. When he looked at those bones again, the reluctance in his heart disappeared without a trace.
This was the first time he saw a real cannibal tribe. The triple shock of vision, smell and thought made his stomach churn and he almost vomited.
In his opinion, people who eat their own kind are no longer human, but beasts in human form.
Soon, other warriors also came out from the houses. Their faces also looked a little unnatural, but much better than Jiang Xuan's. After all, they had not received civilized education.
Jiang Xuan said: "Take away everything that can be eaten and used, and be quick."
Jiang Xuan didn't want to stay here.
"Yes, Chief."
All the warriors of the Vine Tribe immediately took action and quickly swept through the things in the Mosquito Tribe.
Except for those things that are unacceptable, pack up everything else and take them away.
Because the Mosquito Tribe had previously looted several small tribes, they had a lot of supplies including animal skins, bones, teeth, stones, stone tools, bone tools, food, etc.
Jiang Xuan asked the soldiers to collect these supplies and then pile them up in the open space outside the Mosquito Tribe according to categories.
Jiang Xuan was counting the supplies when a soldier ran over in a hurry.
"Chief, a group of captives were found outside the Mosquito Tribe. They must have been captured from other tribes."
"Take me to see it."
Jiang Xuan followed the warrior to the outskirts of the Mosquito Tribe. In the pen where the captives were held, he saw a group of pale and thin people who hardly looked like humans.
When these people saw the warriors of the Teng tribe, they all huddled together with terrified looks in their eyes, obviously afraid of being killed.
The hunting team 2 led by Shi Qiu is in charge here, and Shi Qiu is also standing outside the enclosure.
Shi Qiu asked Jiang Xuan: "Leader, what should we do with these people?"
Jiang Xuan frowned slightly, because these people were so thin that they looked like humans and were in very bad condition.
After wiping out the Mosquito Tribe, the Vine Tribe obtained a large amount of supplies. In fact, now is the time to expand the population.
But these people look so frail that it’s not certain whether they can walk two or three days to bring the food back to the Teng tribe.
But if we leave them here, given their condition, there is a high probability that they will die.
Jiang Xuan is not a person who is indifferent to life, and the Teng tribe also needs population.
He thought for a moment, looked up at the sky, and came up with an idea.
Jiang Xuan said to Shi Qiu, "Go find the witch."
"good."
Shi Qiu immediately ran to find Chi Shao, and after finding her, brought her to Jiang Xuan.
"Chief, what do you want to talk to me about?"
When there were outsiders around, Chishao would usually call Jiang Xuan "chief", and Jiang Xuan would also call Chishao "witch".
"Wu, please communicate with the God of Teng and see if you can use your divine power to strengthen the physique of these people. If possible, I want to take them back."
Chishao nodded, then closed his eyes and communicated with the Shen Teng.
After a moment, Chishao opened his eyes and said, "Teng Shen agreed."
Jiang Xuan looked at the divine vine in the sky and said, "Thank you for the mercy of the vine god!"
In the sky, the divine vine stretched out a green vine, which quickly extended above the enclosure and swayed gently.
The green liquid fell like drizzle, and then quickly merged into the bodies of the captives.
The condition of these captives improved visibly. Their eyes were no longer empty, their skin became shiny, and their muscles became strong.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!"
A prisoner with a broken arm suddenly found that he could lift his hand and regained strength in his body.
He shouted excitedly, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the divine vine in the sky.
The other prisoners also gradually found that their physical strength had returned and their injuries had miraculously healed.
"Thank God for His grace."
“Thank God!”
…
All the captives knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the divine vine in the sky.
Jiang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
The divine vine performed miracles, not only healing the captives' injuries and improving their physical conditions, but also making them grateful to the divine vine.
Similarly, they will initially establish trust and goodwill towards the Teng Tribe, which will be very beneficial for Jiang Xuan to bring them back to the tribe.
When the divine vine retracted its branches, the captives were no longer weak and they regained normal physical strength.
After Jiang Xuan waited for them to stop bowing, he said to the captives, "We are from the Teng Tribe. We have already wiped out the Mosquito Tribe."
"Now, I give you two choices. One is to go back to the Teng Tribe with us, and the other is to stay here."
"But I want to remind you that many of those ferocious bird-beaked mosquitoes have escaped. They dare not come out when the vine god is here. Once the vine god leaves, they will definitely come back here."
"If you stay here and encounter those bird-beaked mosquitoes who have lost their tribe, I don't need to tell you the consequences, right?"
Upon hearing this, the captives shuddered involuntarily. It was obvious that the bird-beaked mosquitoes had left them with psychological trauma.
Among the captives, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen was the first to stand up. She mustered up her courage, looked at Jiang Xuan, and said, "If we go to the Teng Tribe, will we be kept in captivity and used as food like we are now?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "You can rest assured about this. We in the Teng tribe never eat people."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Then will you lock us up?"
"Of course not. I brought you back to the tribe to help the tribe. If you perform well in the future, you can even join the Teng Tribe and become a member of the Teng Tribe."
The girl was overjoyed and said decisively: "I will go with you. I am not afraid of hardship and I can do a lot of work."
Jiang Xuan looked at the girl.
She was wearing a very old grass skirt and was dirty. She was not tall and very thin, but her eyes were very determined, which made her different from the other captives.
Jiang Xuan asked: "What's your name?"
"My name is Dong Kui."
"Okay, Dongkui, come back with us."
Jiang Xuan looked at the other captives and asked, "What about you? Will you go with us, or stay in the mosquito tribe and wait for revenge from the bird-beaked mosquitoes?"
When the captives thought of the horror of the bird-billed mosquito, they immediately agreed to follow the Teng tribe without hesitation.
"Okay, then come out, Hunting Team 2, and untie the ropes on them."
The hands and feet of these captives were tied with strong bark or straw ropes, which were equivalent to primitive shackles, preventing them from escaping.
Shi Qiu led the soldiers of the second hunting team forward and untied all the ropes on the captives.
The captives who regained their freedom all had tears in their eyes. If it weren't for the arrival of the Vine Tribe, they would all end up becoming food for the Mosquito Tribe.
"Shiqiu, let them line up and count the number of people."
Shi Qiu brought several soldiers with him, lined up the prisoners into several rows, and then counted them one by one.
After counting twice, Shi Qiu reported to Jiang Xuan: "Leader, there are eighty-nine people in total."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said to the captives, "Okay, continue to collect supplies and take them back to the tribe after the search."
The warriors of the Teng tribe quickly took action again, and the captives were not idle either, and joined the ranks of collecting supplies.
When the sun was setting, all the edible and usable supplies of the Mosquito Tribe were collected by the Vine Tribe and piled into several small hills.
The results of this battle were extremely fruitful. The warriors of the Teng tribe were all smiling, and even the captives were happy.
Jiang Xuan didn't plan to spend the night in the Mosquito Tribe because he felt very uncomfortable staying there.
"Divide these things, each person takes a portion, and then return to the tribe."
More than one hundred warriors of the Teng tribe, plus eighty-nine captives, each stepped forward, either being carried or on shoulders, to help carry part of the spoils.
Even the giant dragonflies were captured by Jiang Xuan, who gave them orders through the magic vine to help transport some of the spoils.
Then they set out on their return journey with the spoils.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
In the sky, thirty-six giant dragonflies carrying spoils of war flapped their wings and flew towards the direction of the Teng tribe.
The Vine God became smaller again, hovering above the Vine Tribe's team, flying slowly.
With the presence of the Vine God, those ferocious beasts did not dare to come over, and the Vine tribe's team was able to return smoothly.
Three days later, everyone finally returned to the Teng tribe carrying a lot of spoils.
“Boom!”
The divine vine returned to the stone mountain. Its roots re-steered into the ground and then quickly grew larger, like a giant dragon, circling around the stone mountain.
Those giant dragonflies had already flown back to the Vine Tribe. After the Vine Tribe warriors unloaded the spoils from their backs, they excitedly flew into the sky, circled a few times, and then flew back to the stone mountain and landed on the sacred vine to rest.
The women and children who were hiding in the caves came out. When they saw the mountains of spoils, their eyes widened and they only regretted that they did not participate in the battle in person.
However, they soon got involved in sorting out the spoils and enjoyed it very much.
The people of the Teng tribe were very happy because they won this tribal war with almost no casualties, which was almost impossible in other tribes.
The eighty-nine former captives were somewhat at a loss after arriving at the Teng Tribe, and even felt a sense of absurdity.
Because the Teng tribe is too small, there are not many houses and few people.
But it was this tribe that destroyed the powerful and brutal Mosquito Tribe.
However, now that they were here, they had no other choice but to settle down here and help the Teng tribe with their work.
The young girl Dongkui was very satisfied with the Teng Tribe, or rather, she was already content to be able to survive and did not ask for more.
Jiang Xuan sent half of his soldiers to help the eighty-nine people build a temporary shelter, and then led them to clean up the spoils.
The cleaning of the spoils lasted a full five days, because they not only had to count them, but also sort them into different categories and then store them.
When all the spoils were dealt with, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at the spoils piled up in the house and felt unprecedented satisfaction.
These things are all theirs!
…
August 7th, the second year since the establishment of the Teng Tribe, sunny.
"The red crystal rice has borne fruit."
In the fields, Jiang Xuan and Gan Song looked at the heavy fruits of the tall red crystal rice trees.
The stems and leaves of red crystal rice are purple-red, and look a bit like corn, but are much taller than corn. Each plant is three or four meters tall and very sturdy, almost like a small tree.
But the fruits it bears are like those of cereals, shaped like ears of wheat, with three or four ears, each of which is large and heavy.
The unripe red crystal rice was light red in color, and each one was the size of a finger. Judging from the red crystal rice seeds that Jiang Xuan had obtained before, they should be the size of pigeon eggs when they grow up.
Some time ago, everyone was busy fighting and counting supplies, and Gan Song had no time to look at his precious crops.
Unexpectedly, when I came over this morning, I saw that the red crystal rice had actually borne fruit.
So he immediately told Jiang Xuan the good news.
Jiang Xuan looked at the tall red crystal rice and said in surprise: "It seems that the yield of this thing is much higher than we expected. If it can be successfully planted in large quantities, red crystal rice can become a staple food in the future!"
Gan Song smiled naively and said, "Chief, then we don't have to worry about going hungry anymore, right?"
Jiang Xuan said: "If there is no disaster, the red crystal rice, together with the stone eggs, round potatoes, yams, and those vegetables, will not only keep us from going hungry, but we may even have a lot of food left!"
"Store food!"
When Gan Song heard these people, he became very excited, because he had never seen much stored food in all his years.
Jiang Xuan's words made him imagine the day when the Teng tribe would have stored up mountains of food and everyone would have enough to eat.
