Chapter 122: Crow bites turtle
Southern Wilderness, Mountain Turtle Tribe.
In spring, large mushrooms grow in large numbers in the mushroom forest, including various magical mushrooms such as the God mushroom and the Power mushroom.
This is the harvest season for the Mountain Turtle Tribe. Relying on these magical mushrooms, they can trade all kinds of good things from other tribes.
March 6th, early morning.
The pangolin was walking back from the mushroom forest with more than a hundred warriors and two big mountain turtles.
There was a look of joy on everyone's face, and it was obvious that last night's harvest was quite good.
"Chief, we have picked a lot of night-shining mushrooms this time. Can we trade some frozen lotus roots with the Otter Tribe?"
The Otter Tribe is also a small tribe in the Great Swamp, with a population of about 600 people. They regard the otter as their totem god, and there are a large number of otters living in their territory.
The frozen lotus root is a specialty of the Otter Tribe.
The frozen lotus root is dug out by giant otters who dive into deep water. It is as transparent as crystal and tastes sweet, cool, crisp and refreshing.
In hot weather, if you can eat a piece of frozen lotus root, you will feel cool all over.
The most important thing is that this kind of ice lotus root is good for improving the strength of warriors, which is the main reason why warriors have always been thinking about it.
For the tribesmen who usually live in poverty, something that can both improve their strength and make them feel happy is too attractive.
Shanjia was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, when the people from the Otter Tribe come, we will trade with them for the frozen lotus root."
The soldiers were all laughing foolishly, and some of them had already begun to miss the taste of the frozen lotus root.
"Mah, mah, mah..."
When they came near the Mountain Turtle Tribe, Shanjia suddenly heard the crows calling and the sounds of chaotic fighting.
The pangolin's face changed and he quickly climbed up the tallest tree nearby.
Soon, he saw countless crows and people from strange tribes attacking the Mountain Turtle Tribe! "Not good!"
In desperation, the pangolin jumped down from the treetops, as nimbly as a monkey, grabbed a few branches and swung to the ground.
"The tribe is under siege, go back quickly!"
After Shanjia finished shouting, he ran towards the tribe first.
The faces of the more than one hundred soldiers also changed drastically, and they immediately ran after the pangolin.
The most surprising thing was the two big mountain tortoises. They were carrying a large amount of mushrooms and they ran very fast, even catching up with the pangolins.
When the pangolin rushed to the Mountain Turtle Tribe with more than a hundred warriors, countless mountain turtles were already carrying members of the Turtle Tribe and fighting with the warriors of the Crow Tribe.
"Mah, mah, mah..."
Countless crows were circling overhead, and from time to time they would find the right opportunity to swoop down and give a fierce peck or a claw to someone.
When the pangolin approached, a big crow immediately swooped down at him and grabbed him fiercely with its sharp claws!
However, the big crow would never have thought that the pangolin would just squat down.
The pangolin wears a thick tortoise shell, which has a dorsal carapace and a thoracic armor, and usually looks quite funny.
But now, this seemingly funny big turtle shell has played its real role! After the pangolin squatted down, the whole person instantly shrank into the big turtle shell, and even the head, hands and feet could not be seen.
“Scratch…”
The crow's claw directly grabbed the turtle's shell, leaving only a few inconspicuous scratches on the turtle's shell, but the pangolin was not hurt at all.
Just when the crow missed its target and was about to fly away, the pangolin suddenly stood up again, holding a spear and stabbed the crow hard! "Dumb..."
The big crow let out a scream, its entire body pierced by the spear, and it was obviously dying.
The pangolin drew back his spear and continued to charge forward.
At this time, the two big mountain turtles also came to his side, like two small hills, moving forward with the pangolin.
The Crow Tribe warriors in front could not withstand the charge of a four-color warrior and two giant mountain turtles, and they were knocked over in an instant.
With the leader and two giant mountain turtles leading the way, the more than one hundred soldiers behind them felt much more relaxed and only needed to follow the charge.
Soon, they broke through the encirclement and rushed into the Mountain Turtle Tribe at the fastest speed.
In fact, the war between the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Crow Tribe had just begun, and there were not many casualties on both sides.
The Mountain Turtle Tribe is relatively small, with only more than 800 people, while the Crow Tribe has more than 3,000 people. In this battle, the Crow Tribe is full of confidence and believes that they can definitely win.
But after they actually started the attack, they realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.
The reason is that there are a lot of mountain turtles in the mountain turtle tribe who usually look lazy!
The fighting power of these mountain turtles far exceeded the imagination of the Crow Tribe.
Relying on the fact that their shells were large and hard enough, they unreasonably formed a large circle after the war began, protecting the mountain turtle tribe inside.
As long as someone dares to approach, they will madly attack and bite the enemy at a very fast speed and with amazing bite force.
Long-range attacks have no effect on them at all. They just retreat into their thick shells, and it is difficult to do anything to them, whether it is arrows or spears.
When the big crows faced these huge mountain turtles, they were helpless and didn't know where to start pecking.
Even more perverted is the totem god of the Mountain Turtle Tribe. It stands in the center of the tribe like an iron mountain, allowing the totem god of the Crow Tribe to fly around and even attack with fire, but the effect is so weak that it can be ignored.
The divine power of this old mountain turtle formed a tortoise shell-shaped green protective shield with terrifyingly high defensive power.
Because of this, even though the Mountain Turtle Tribe took away more than a hundred warriors, the Mountain Turtle Tribe still withstood the fierce attack of the Crow Tribe, making the Crow Tribe charge for a long time but to no avail.
"Mah, mah, mah..."
The Crow God flew back and forth in the sky in annoyance. It had never been so hard even when it was fighting with the Jackal God.
"call……"
The Crow God once again spewed out divine fire. The horrifying high temperature caused the air to distort, as if it was going to roast the entire Mountain Turtle Tribe.
"Buzz!"
However, the extremely thick defensive light shield on the Turtle God only rippled a few times like water waves, and the divine fire could not burn below at all.
Not only that, the turtle god slowly stretched his head into a small stream nearby and quickly absorbed water.
The water level of the stream dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally it even dried up for a short time. Even the water in the swamp did not have time to rush in.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
The Turtle God raised his head and sprayed a stream of water at the fire-breathing crow in the sky like a high-pressure water gun, continuously outputting water.
"Mah-mah..."
The Crow God never thought that this old mountain turtle had such means. For a moment, he was forced to fly everywhere by the water column, looking very embarrassed.
The Crow God is very powerful and can dodge it, but the big crows flying in the sky are in big trouble.
Anyone who was hit by the water column was first rushed into the sky in a dizzy manner, and then fell to the ground crookedly with flapping wet wings.
When Shanjia rushed into the tribe, he saw the Turtle God showing his great power and most of the tribesmen were safe and sound. His nervous heart finally calmed down.
"Chief, you are finally back."
The witch from the Mountain Turtle Tribe walked up to the mountain turtle and was relieved to see that he was safe and sound.
"Wu, what's going on?"
"Who knew? This Crow Tribe suddenly appeared and attacked like crazy. If it weren't for the Turtle God and those mountain turtles, we would be in danger."
"What should we do now?" asked the pangolin.
"The Turtle God wants us to rush into the Great Swamp to hide after you come back. They have more people than us and we can't waste time with them."
The Mountain Turtle Tribe has a relatively small population, and although they have managed to hold on for the time being, they can only passively defend. If the Crow Tribe is determined to continue attacking, they will definitely not be able to hold on for long.
Shanjia frowned and asked, "Are you going to give up your territory?"
The witch waved her hands and said, "The turtle god said that it will come back and reoccupy the territory after the people are safe. This crow tribe wants to occupy our territory, but it has no chance."
"Okay, since the Turtle God has made the decision, let the tribesmen pack up and prepare to rush into the Great Swamp."
Shanjia immediately gave an order that all the tribesmen who did not participate in the battle should pack up everything they could take away and prepare to retreat to the swamp.
For a moment, the entire Mountain Turtle Tribe became busy.
They packed up all the food, weapons, tools, clothes and other things and took them away. If they couldn't take them away, they tried to hide them so as not to let the people of the Crow Tribe take advantage of them.
A few hours later, the members of the Mountain Turtle Tribe who had finished their preparations, those who were not able to fight, all climbed onto the Turtle God's extremely broad back with their belongings, while those who were able to fight rode on the big mountain turtles.
"roar!"
The Turtle God let out a dull roar from his throat, and all the mountain turtles immediately gathered around him, carrying the warriors.
“Boom boom boom…”
When all the mountain turtles gathered around him, the Turtle God stretched out his extremely strong thighs and immediately ran towards the swamp. Hundreds of giant mountain turtles followed closely behind him. It was a very spectacular sight.
“Get out of the way!”
When the leader of the Crow Tribe saw this scene, he felt his scalp tingling and immediately shouted to the warriors in front of the Turtle God.
In fact, he didn't need to shout, because the Crow Tribe warriors had already retreated when they saw the Turtle God running over.
But the Turtle God ran too fast. A dozen unlucky guys didn't even have time to run and were either knocked away or trampled into pieces by the Turtle God, dying.
"Mah, mah, mah..."
The Crow God gave chase, but it was of no use. The Turtle God's defense was too abnormal and he had no idea where to attack.
“Clatter…”
Soon, the Turtle God went into the water and entered the swamp.
The huge mountain turtles carrying the warriors followed closely behind, one after another into the water, and swam with the Turtle God into the depths of the swamp.
The Crow God chased for a distance, but finally gave up.
The warriors of the Crow Tribe couldn't get into the water at all. They could only watch the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe leave and shoot a few arrows at their backs to vent their anger.
The Crow Tribe witch stood beside the leader and said, "Although we didn't kill them, they ran away. This territory is ours."
The leader of the Crow Tribe nodded, and his depressed mood felt a little better.
That’s right, although attacking the Mountain Turtle Tribe was much more difficult than imagined, the Mountain Turtle Tribe ran away after all, and their goal of occupying this territory was achieved!
"Walk!"
The leader of the Crow Tribe waved his hand and took nearly three thousand members of the Crow Tribe to live in the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
With so many people moving in, the Mountain Turtle Tribe definitely wouldn't have enough houses, so they quickly built some simple sheds for the tribe members to temporarily live in and would start construction tomorrow.
Looking at this new territory, the leader and witch of the Crow Tribe were quite satisfied. This place was very suitable for living.
On the other side, the Turtle God led a large number of mountain turtles and swam all the way to a small island deep in the swamp.
There are many swamp creatures living on this island, including ferocious birds and water beasts, as well as various poisonous insects and snakes.
But when the Turtle God arrived, these ferocious birds and water beasts, even poisonous insects and snakes, all fled frantically, and did not dare to stay on this island for long.
The Turtle God stood beside the island and let all the members of the Turtle Tribe go down.
All the mountain tortoises also climbed onto the island and took up temporary residence there.
The Turtle God raised his head, communicated with the witch of the Mountain Turtle Tribe for a while, and then left again.
After the turtle god left, Shanjia asked the witch, "What did the turtle god say?"
"The turtle god said that it would go back to the tribe to drive away the crow tribe, and then take us back to live with them after the crow tribe left."
Shanjia nodded, looked at the island again, and said, "Then let's stay here for now."
At this moment, Shanjia organized his people to cut down trees and build houses, put down their belongings, and temporarily live on this small island.
The Turtle God swam all the way back to the territory of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, stayed quietly in the water, and observed the movements on the shore.
At this time, the Crow Tribe was busy preparing to settle here for a long time, and nearly three thousand tribesmen were busy with various things.
Some people cut wood, some people go hunting, some people build houses, some people make fires...
The Crow God was leading a large group of crows to select a new tree, intending to rebuild a huge crow's nest so that they could live more comfortably.
However, the Crow Tribe did not let down their guard.
They also left behind a number of warriors to guard the area, ready to respond to any possible return of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
The turtle god was not in a hurry. It stayed underwater very patiently with only its nostrils slightly exposed above the water.
No one can find it unless you get close.
Gradually, night fell. After working for most of the day, the members of the Crow Tribe finally settled down temporarily in the territory of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
They were happy that they had seized a new territory, and were discussing how many small tribes there were nearby and when they would go and grab some.
Everything seems to be going well.
After nightfall, all the crows flew to the trees. They also needed to rest at night.
The Crow God occupied the largest tree, waiting for dawn to command the crows to weave nests.
Late at night, most of the Crow Tribe members, who had been working hard for a long time, fell into a deep sleep. Only a small number of warriors were responsible for keeping watch, but they were not in the mood because they had been so busy during this period of time.
“Clatter…”
In the big swamp, the turtle god quietly climbed onto the shore. Its movements were relatively light and the sound of the water was not very loud.
But then, it started to make a big move!
“Boom boom boom!”
After the Turtle God came ashore, he spread his four big thick legs and rushed into the tribe so quickly that the ground began to shake.
"Oh no, it's that big turtle!"
"ah……"
Just as the night watch soldier shouted a few words, the Turtle God rushed over. It opened its mouth and bit, and a Crow Tribe warrior was instantly crushed to pieces and eaten by it.
Afterwards, it became extremely ferocious and rushed around, slaughtering the warriors and tribesmen of the Crow Tribe.
"Mah, mah, mah..."
On the big tree, the Crow God flew down in frustration and started fighting with the Turtle God again.
However, the Turtle God did not fight with it. He destroyed everything and then turned around and left, re-entering the swamp, leaving only corpses on the ground.
At this moment, the entire Crow Tribe could no longer sleep. There were cries, curses, and screams all mixed together...
