Chapter 143 The Mountain Turtle Tribe has been waiting for an opportunity for many years
"Eer..."
The purple dumplings fell on the outskirts of the mountain turtle tribe. The giant mountain turtles looked up and then continued to crawl forward slowly.
Jiang Xuan got off Tangyuan's back, told it to wait there, and then walked towards the gate of the Mountain Turtle Tribe's fence.
"Chief Xuan of the Teng tribe is here."
"Go and report to the leader."
When the soldier in charge of guarding the gate saw the glutinous rice balls fall to the ground, he immediately sent one of them to report to the pangolin.
When Jiang Xuan walked to the gate, Shanjia also came to meet him.
"Hahaha, Chief Xuan, I haven't seen you for a whole winter. You have grown taller and taller."
Shanjia smiled brightly and gave Jiang Xuan a bear hug.
In this life, Jiang Xuan is only sixteen years old this year and is still growing taller. He is no longer as thin as before and is becoming stronger and stronger.
"The pangolin leader also looks good." Jiang Xuan responded with a smile.
"To be honest, Chief Xuan, the food and supplies we obtained from defeating the Crow Tribe last year helped our Mountain Turtle Tribe get through the entire winter safely. No one in our tribe starved to death or froze to death. Hahahaha..."
There was a smug look on the pangolin's face. Apparently, no one starved to death or froze to death throughout the winter, which was something he was very proud of.
In fact, it is indeed something to be proud of.
Most tribes were in a state of chronic hunger; there was never enough food to eat and not enough animal skins to wear.
Not starving to death is the greatest hope of many tribesmen. It would be even better if they could have warm animal skin clothes to wear and airtight houses to live in.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "The Crow Tribe did have a good harvest, but our Teng Tribe has basically eaten up all the food, and we are worried."
"It's similar for our Mountain Turtle Tribe. But it's a good thing to survive the winter. We can always get food by digging wild vegetables and hunting more."
"Come on, come on, let's talk inside."
Shanjia enthusiastically brought Jiang Xuan into the tribe and into the relatively spacious wooden house.
"The snow has just melted, and the mushrooms in the mushroom forest haven't grown yet. Otherwise, I could treat you to mushroom barbecue and mushroom stew."
Shanjia put some plant tubers and some animal meat into the pottery tripod and said, "This is all we can eat now. We just hunted it today."
"At a time like this, it's good enough to have something to eat. Who dares to be picky?"
"That's true."
The pangolin became happy again, took out a small can of salt, carefully sprinkled a little into the pot, and then put it away carefully.
After finishing, while waiting for the food to cook, the two finally started talking about business.
"Actually, I came here this time to discuss something important with the leader of the mountain eagles."
"Chief Xuan, please go ahead."
"I wonder if the leader of the pangolins is interested in doing something big and snatching some more food and supplies for his people?"
Shanjia's heart moved, and he sat up straighter, staring at Jiang Xuan.
"Who to rob?"
"The Jackal Tribe."
"Is it the Jackal Tribe that has been fighting the Crow Tribe for a long time?"
"Yes, what do you think of this goal, Chief Panic?"
Shanjia did not reply immediately. His little eyes narrowed slightly, and he was obviously weighing the pros and cons of the matter.
Jiang Xuan used a wooden stick to poke the burning wood a few times to make the flame burn more vigorously.
"Leader of the Panthers, the Jackal Tribe and the Crow Tribe have been fighting for so long and have endured a whole winter. Now is the time when they are at their weakest. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to defeat them in the future."
"What's more, the Jackal Tribe is more brutal than the Crow Tribe. Almost all the tribes near them have been wiped out. When they become strong again, they will definitely attack tribes farther away. Our Vine Tribe and your Mountain Turtle Tribe will not be spared."
"Now is the best time. You know the strength of our Vine Tribe. Together with your Mountain Turtle Tribe, we will definitely be able to defeat the Jackal Tribe in one fell swoop and eliminate the threat forever!"
The pangolin still didn't speak.
If it were in the past, he would even directly reject Jiang Xuan, because the Mountain Turtle Tribe does not like taking risks, never has, they prefer to stick to their own little piece of land.
But last year's attack on the Crow Tribe brought them a taste of success.
In just one day, they obtained a large amount of food and supplies.
Plundering is addictive because resources come too quickly.
Shan Jia thought for a long time and said, "I need to consult with Wu. Chief Xuan, please wait a moment."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Jiang Xuan knew that as long as Shanjia went to find the witch, the mission would be half successful.
He believed that as the person with the most information and the smartest in the tribe, he would definitely know what to do to make the most advantageous choice.
The pangolin left the house and headed straight for the center of the tribe.
The totem god of the Mountain Turtle Tribe lives in the center of the tribe. The witch of the Mountain Turtle Tribe naturally lives not far from the totem god and guards the god day and night.
When Shan Jia found Wu and told him Jiang Xuan's words, Wu thought silently for a moment, and then said, "Promise him!"
"Are we really going to attack the Jackal Tribe?"
The pangolin asked cautiously, hoping to get a positive answer.
"That's right, just like he said, the Vine Tribe plus the Mountain Turtle Tribe will definitely be able to take down the Jackal Tribe. In that case, why don't we go?"
The Mountain Turtle Tribe witch said with burning eyes: "We in the Mountain Turtle Tribe have lived here for many years. Although we rely on the mushroom forest and have a pretty good life, we haven't made much progress."
"This is a great opportunity. I have a feeling that the Teng Tribe will rise, and we can rise with them!"
"If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we will be able to rise again as a mountain turtle tribe."
Shanjia was surprised and asked, "Wu, are the Teng tribe really that powerful?"
The witch looked at the pangolin and said, "Their warriors are nothing, but do you know how powerful their totem gods are? Even the turtle god feels scary!"
"Only medium-sized tribes can have totem gods!"
At this moment, Shanjia was completely shocked. He never thought that the Teng tribe actually had such a powerful totem god.
"So, we will definitely win this battle?"
The witch of the Mountain Turtle Tribe nodded and said, "That's right. The crow can't beat the vine, and the jackal can't beat the vine either. Plus our powerful turtle god, what can the jackal tribe use to resist?"
"Okay, in that case, go and reply to him right away."
Shanjia walked out of the witch's house with excitement on his face. The words the witch had just said kept echoing in his mind, making him in a state of excitement.
The witch of the Mountain Turtle Tribe walked outside, looked at the huge turtle god, and whispered: "The opportunity for our Mountain Turtle Tribe to rise up that we have been waiting for for many years is coming soon!"
The sleeping Turtle God suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the Jackal Tribe.
On the other side, Shan Jia returned to the house, looked at Jiang Xuan with burning eyes, and said: "Chief Xuan, our Shangui tribe is willing to attack those jackals together with the Teng tribe!"
Jiang Xuan stood up: "I knew that the leader of the pangolins would make the most correct choice."
"After defeating the Jackal Tribe, we will follow the old rules and split the food and supplies between our two tribes in half."
"good!"
Shanjia nodded heavily, because he knew that the totem god of the Teng tribe was very powerful. At this moment he even felt that he had taken advantage of it.
“Gulp gulp…”
The food in the pot kept rolling and exuding fragrance.
Shan Jia greeted Jiang Xuan warmly: "Chief Xuan, come, come, sit down and eat. Nothing is more important than eating."
"Haha, that's right, eating is the most important thing."
The two of them sat by the fire, chatting happily while scooping food from the pottery tripod and eating together.
After eating and drinking, the two men agreed on the date of attacking the Jackal Tribe, the place where the two sides would meet, and some specific combat details.
After everything was finalized, Jiang Xuan didn't delay any longer. He said goodbye immediately and rode Tangyuan back to Teng Tribe.
As for the Otter Tribe, since they refused to attack the Crow Tribe last time, Jiang Xuan was too lazy to ask them this time.
After Jiang Xuan left, the Mountain Turtle Tribe immediately began to prepare for battle. Food, weapons and other items for the road were necessary, and the tribesmen who had no combat capability also needed to be settled.
On the other side of the Great Swamp, the Otter Tribe was working hard to repair some of the houses that had collapsed due to the snow, and to look for food in the Great Swamp.
…
South of the Teng tribe, there is Thunder Mountain.
Three scouts from the Jackal Tribe approached Thunder Mountain cautiously. They rode on the backs of the jackals, whose padded paws made almost no sound when they landed on the ground.
One of the spies took a look at the totem pattern of the Vine Tribe on the huge rock in front of them.
"The vine tribe is ahead. Let's spread out first. Be careful and don't get discovered."
The other two nodded, then dispersed to hide their bodies.
Soon, they entered the forest of Thunder Mountain.
This place is quite close to the Teng Tribe, and they are very careful to guard against possible Teng Tribe warriors.
However, strangely, they entered the forest smoothly and no Vine Tribe warrior appeared.
They thought that the Teng Tribe did not pay enough attention to defense, and they were quite happy about it. They felt that they could successfully complete the task of investigating the Teng Tribe.
However, they did not know that there were two pairs of eyes in the dark, watching their every move since they entered the forest.
Maidong was hiding in a secret sentry pit, which was connected to a tunnel. There was also a warrior from the Teng tribe beside him.
Maidong didn't say anything, but gestured to the warrior, asking him to go back to the tribe through the tunnel to report the news.
The warrior nodded, then immediately went into the tunnel and quickly returned to the Teng tribe.
Maidong continued to stare at the three warriors from the Jackal Tribe.
The pit where he was was covered with thorns and branches, and it would have been difficult to find him if one didn't know there were people here.
Gradually, a warrior from the Jackal Tribe approached the area where the cage vines grew.
Dangerous plants such as cage vines, whip trees, biting flowers, and thunder trees form the first line of defense of the Vine Tribe.
Among them, the Thunder Tree and the Whip Tree need time to grow and are not yet powerful.
There are not many of the Euphorbia obesa plants growing at the moment, and they are planted on the Wild Boar Mountain in the north.
Currently, only the fast-growing cage vine can play a defensive role.
As luck would have it, this Jackal tribe warrior happened to enter the area where the cage vines grew.
On the surface, there is nothing special about this area except that there are a lot of vines on the ground, and there are no traps to be seen.
This Jackal tribe warrior rode slowly on the jackal while observing his surroundings, and stepped on a vine on the ground.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
Suddenly, the cage vines on the ground rose up quickly, like a big net, immediately trapping the warrior and the jackal inside.
"What is this thing..."
The soldier panicked and took out a bone knife, then kept chopping at the cage vines.
“Ah…”
The jackal also bit the cage vines frantically, hoping to bite off these strange vines.
However, all this was in vain, the cage vines were extremely hard and could not be cut by the bone knife, and the jackal's teeth naturally could not bite through them for a while.
Not only that, thorny vines were entwined around them.
"ah……"
The warrior screamed as the thorns on the vine pierced his arm, and he soon felt his strength rapidly draining away.
The same thing happened to the jackal after it was stabbed.
Not long after, the man and the wolf collapsed in the cage vines, calling for help desperately, but unable to move.
