Chapter 188 Tangyuan's unexpected discovery
In the afternoon, the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe went ashore far away from their original residence.
They were tired and hungry, and everyone was in a low mood.
Because they fled in a hurry, they had no time to take away the food and various supplies in the tribe, and they were lost to the Raptor Tribe.
"Chief, what should we do now?"
The warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe surrounded the pangolin, hoping that he could come up with an idea.
"All warriors of the same color or above should go out hunting, and the ordinary warriors should stay here to build a temporary shelter and survive tonight first."
Pangolin waved his hand, and all the warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe dragged their tired bodies to hunt because they had no food left.
The ordinary soldiers who stayed behind picked up dead trees on the ground and built temporary shelters.
Because they don't have the time or the energy to cut down trees anymore.
As time passed, the sun gradually sank. Under the reflection of the sunset, the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of dark red gauze.
Shanjia and Wu sat in the temporary shelter that had just been built. They looked at the fire that had just been lit and felt sad from the bottom of their hearts.
Their place of residence has been destroyed by the Raptor Tribe, and they have run out of food and supplies. What should they do next?
The last time they were attacked by the Crow Tribe, although they escaped, they were not very panicked because the Turtle God could continue to launch sneak attacks, making it impossible for the Crow Tribe to survive.
But the Raptor Tribe is different, they are a medium-sized tribe, and their Raptor God is much more powerful than the crow.
If the Turtle God goes for a sneak attack and is blocked by the Raptor God, he may not be able to come back.
"Wu, where should we go tomorrow?"
The pangolin was also confused and didn't even bother to wash the blood off his face.
Wu pondered for a long time and said, "Didn't you unite the Vine Tribe, the Sparrow Tribe, and the Unicorn Tribe a few days ago? Calculating the time, the Vine Tribe should also set off."
Shanjia said in astonishment: "But our Mountain Turtle Tribe has become like this. Should we continue to attack the Raptor Tribe with them?"
"It is precisely because of this that we have to join them in attacking the Raptor Tribe."
Although Wu looked very old, his eyes were still bright and at this critical moment of life and death, he was calmer than Shanjia.
"We in the Shangui tribe have nothing left. If we migrate to another place, we will have a very difficult life."
"But if we win this battle, we can not only get back what we lost, but we can even get more!"
After hearing the witch's words, the pangolin also reacted.
If they had a choice before, now that they are forced into a desperate situation, they actually have no choice.
Once they escape, the Mountain Turtle Tribe will inevitably decline or even perish.
Staying and attacking the Raptor Tribe may seem dangerous, but it contains an opportunity for a quick turnaround.
"Wu, I understand!"
Shanjia rubbed his face and ordered himself to cheer up and not let himself be discouraged by this blow.
He is the leader of the Mountain Turtle Tribe. If even he is demoralized, those warriors will only become more desperate.
"I'm going to go out and see if I can get to the water and catch a few fish or some tiger frogs."
Panther stood up and walked outside with his spear. He first went to a puddle at the edge of the swamp and used water to wash the dried blood on his face and hands.
The cool water refreshed him, and he cleaned his spear again, then walked to the edge of the swamp in the last light of the evening, hoping to get some food for his dinner.
…
In the forest, more than 1,500 warriors of the Teng tribe rode their mounts and advanced slowly.
They had been walking for a day, and if they walked for another day, they would reach the mushroom forest.
According to the plan previously agreed upon, the Vine Tribe, the Sparrow Tribe and the Unicorn Tribe will all meet at the Mountain Turtle Tribe, and then attack the Raptor Tribe together.
The Mountain Turtle Tribe is about three days' journey from the Raptor Tribe. With a mount, the time can be shortened to more than a day.
Considering that the Sparrow Tribe and the Unicorn Tribe do not have mounts, the Vine Tribe set out early so that they would have more time.
"I don't know if the Sparrow Tribe and the Unicorn Tribe have set out yet."
At the front of the team, Jiang Xuan rode on Yueya to lead the way, and he went over various methods of joint operations in his mind.
The joint operations of multiple tribes were much more complicated than the Teng tribe fighting on its own.
Because he couldn't be sure how other tribes would behave after the battle started.
For example, when two sides are fighting, if one tribe suddenly runs away, it will have a great impact on the battle situation.
If the Raptor Tribe wasn't too powerful, Jiang Xuan wouldn't want to unite with other tribes at all.
Half a day later, Jiang Xuan came to a more familiar forest. After walking for so long, everyone was hungry and tired.
Jiang Xuan asked Yueya to turn back, and then shouted loudly: "Rest where you are!"
The warriors of the Teng tribe stopped one after another, then got off their mounts and sat in groups of three or four under the big trees, resting and eating the food they brought.
If they see wild vegetables nearby, they will pick them and eat them raw if they can be eaten raw. If they cannot be eaten raw, they will take them away and roast them when they make a fire at night.
"Eer..."
While the team was resting, Tangyuan took the opportunity to hover over the nearby forest, hoping to catch some prey and have a good meal.
Because the arrival of the Teng tribe's army made too much noise, all the animals in the nearby forest were scared away.
Tangyuan flew a few circles but didn't see the target, so he could only fly farther away.
It flew to a faraway forest, and relying on its strong strength and excellent eyesight, it found a giant python wrapped around a tree. It swooped down quickly, grabbed the python, and pulled it up into the sky.
"Eer..."
Tangyuan was very happy because his favorite food was snake.
The python's head was pecked through by it, but the snake's body continued to twist in its claws.
Tangyuan didn't care and flew back with the python in his hand.
Because it was very happy, it didn't fly in a straight line. It held the big python and flew left and right, looking very proud.
However, when it was halfway through its flight, its sharp eagle eyes discovered something unusual on the ground.
Tangyuan slowed down its flight and moved closer to the ground where the abnormality was.
Soon, it saw the turtle god who was as big as a mountain, and beside the turtle god there were numerous giant turtles and warriors of the mountain turtle tribe.
Tangyuan has been to the mountain turtle tribe many times, so he naturally recognizes these big mountain turtles.
On the ground, the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe also saw Tangyuan, and they knew that this was Jiang Xuan’s mount.
The pangolin excitedly waved his hands toward the sky and shouted, "We are here!"
However, after waving for a long time, he saw the glutinous rice balls spin and fly away.
"Chief, why did it fly away?"
The Mountain Turtle Tribe warrior nearby asked in confusion.
The pangolin was also very depressed and said, "How should I know? It seems that Chief Xuan is not on its back. Let's keep going."
The reason why the people from the Mountain Turtle Tribe appeared here was because they wanted to meet up with the people from the Vine Tribe halfway.
Otherwise, if the people of the Vine Tribe went directly to the previous residence of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, they would definitely run into people from the Raptor Tribe.
After Tangyuan flew away, the Mountain Turtle Tribe continued to move forward. They had to wait for the reunion with the Teng Tribe on the road that they had to pass through.
On the other side, Tangyuan grabbed the giant python and flew all the way back to the forest where Jiang Xuan and others were resting.
It landed in an open space, first used its sharp beak to peck the python's skin, then tore off strips of the snake's flesh and ate them.
After quickly filling his stomach, Tangyuan staggered to Jiang Xuan's side and called out to him in a low voice a few times.
"Tangyuan, what happened?"
Jiang Xuan spends every day with Tangyuan and knows it very well. He knows that its behavior means it has something to tell him.
Tangyuan shook its head and motioned Jiang Xuan to get on its back.
Jiang Xuan thought for a moment, and said to Chishao beside him: "Wu, Tangyuan must have discovered something special. I will go over with him to take a look first. You guys can rest here for a while."
Chishao nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Jiang Xuan picked up the bronze spear and climbed onto Tangyuan's back. Tangyuan spread his long legs and ran to the open space, then flapped his wings and flew high into the sky.
Not long after, Tangyuan and Jiang Xuan found the members of the Mountain Turtle Tribe again.
When Jiang Xuan saw the Turtle God, he thought he was seeing things.
"What's going on? Why did the Mountain Turtle Tribe come here?"
With doubts, Jiang Xuan let the glutinous rice balls land on the ground.
On the ground, the warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe looked up at the falling Tangyuan.
"Chief, that purple vicious bird is here again."
"Hey, there seems to be someone on its back."
After hearing the discussion of the soldiers next to him, Panjia hurriedly looked up at the sky.
This time, he saw clearly that there was indeed a person on Tangyuan's back.
“Huff…”
“Boom!”
Tang Yuan landed near the Mountain Turtle Tribe, and its wings created a gust of wind.
As soon as Jiang Xuan got off Tangyuan's back, he saw Pantheroma and dozens of warriors from the Mountain Turtle Tribe running towards him.
"Chief Xuan, it's really you!"
When Shanjia saw Jiang Xuan, he felt a mixture of emotions and his eyes became sore.
Jiang Xuan held the bronze spear upside down and asked in confusion, "Leader Shanjia, why are you here?"
When Shanjia heard Jiang Xuan's question, his eyes turned red and he almost cried.
"Chief Xuan, we...we were attacked by the Raptor Tribe..."
Afterwards, Shanjia told Jiang Xuan what had happened in the previous two days.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Xuan frowned. They hadn't attacked the Raptor Tribe yet, but the Mountain Turtle Tribe was conquered first. This was really too bad.
"So what are your plans?" Jiang Xuan asked.
Shanjia gnashed his teeth and said, "Chief Xuan, I plan to follow you to attack the Raptor Tribe and make the Raptor Tribe pay the price!"
Jiang Xuan was quite surprised. He thought that the Mountain Turtle Tribe had suffered a heavy blow and would give up the attack.
However, the Mountain Turtle Tribe chose to continue the attack, which was also a good thing for the Vine Tribe.
"Okay, Chief Panther, the warriors from our Vine Tribe will be here soon, and we will make the Raptor Tribe pay the price!"
Afterwards, Jiang Xuan comforted Shanjia, asked them to wait in front, and then rode Tangyuan back to where the warriors of the Teng tribe were resting.
After returning to the woods, Jiang Xuan told Chishao and the other leaders about the situation of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
Chishao said worriedly: "This will make this battle even more difficult."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, so we can't just fight head-on. We must first find a way to consume the Raptor Tribe, or at least reduce their strength to about the same level as ours."
Uncaria asked: "Chief, how can we consume the Raptor Tribe?"
"This requires everyone to come up with a solution. While there is still time, everyone should think about it carefully."
After hearing Jiang Xuan's words, everyone began to think hard, hoping to think of a way to deplete the strength of the Raptor Tribe.
"Okay, let's set off first and reunite with the Mountain Turtle Tribe as soon as possible. We'll figure it out as we go."
At Jiang Xuan's command, the army of Teng tribe set off again.
Half a day later, they successfully reunited with the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
When the Turtle God saw the Fuji God, he immediately ran over happily and tilted his neck to communicate with the Fuji God's soul.
No one knew what the two totem gods communicated with each other, but not long after, the vine god actually landed on the back of the turtle god, with its roots scattered in the cracks of the turtle's back, as if they had been growing on it for a long time.
Shanjia and Jiang Xuan looked at each other, neither of them could understand what the two totem gods were doing.
However, the relationship between the warriors of the two tribes became much more harmonious.
It's not just because they have fought side by side twice, but also because the relationship between the totem gods they believe in seems to be particularly harmonious.
Jiang Xuan asked Shanjia, "We had agreed with the Sparrow Tribe and the Unicorn Tribe to meet up at your Mountain Turtle Tribe. Now that the Mountain Turtle Tribe has been occupied, where are we going to meet up?"
Shanjia thought for a moment and said, "There is a barren mountain to the west of the Mountain Turtle Tribe. There are few prey there, and the people of the Bird of Prey Tribe rarely go there. We can meet up with the Sparrow Tribe and the Unicorn Tribe there."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Then come with me to find the Sparrow Tribe and the Unicorn Tribe, so that they don't go to the wrong place."
"good!"
Jiang Xuan explained the situation to Chishao and others, and ordered the coalition forces of the two tribes to march towards the barren mountain.
Afterwards, Jiang Xuan and Shanjia rode on the glutinous rice balls and flew towards the direction of the Que tribe.
When they flew to the Que tribe, the warriors of the Que tribe had already gathered and were preparing to set off.
After the glutinous rice balls landed, Jiang Xuan said to the leader of the Que tribe: "Leader Ye, the Mountain Turtle Tribe was attacked. The place of reunion has been changed to the barren mountain west of the Mountain Turtle Tribe."
Ye frowned and asked, "Did the Mountain Turtle Tribe suffer serious casualties?"
Shanjia continued, "Some of our tribesmen died, but when the Raptor Tribe attacked, the Turtle God protected us and we escaped into the Great Swamp. Now we have joined forces with the warriors of the Vine Tribe, and our strength is still there."
Ye sighed and said, "That's good."
What he was most worried about was that the Mountain Turtle Tribe would lose its combat effectiveness. Since the Mountain Turtle Tribe still had its strength, changing the rendezvous point would not be a big deal.
"Then let's meet up in that barren mountain."
"Okay, we still have to go inform the One-Horned Tribe, so we'll leave first."
Jiang Xuan and the pangolin climbed onto Tangyuan's back again, and Tangyuan spread his wings and flew towards the Unicorn Tribe.
Ye watched them go away, then turned and shouted to the Que tribe warriors who were ready, "Let's go!"
The totem god of the Sparrow Tribe came out of the giant nest, bringing with him many fighting birds and all the Sparrow Tribe warriors to the barren mountain west of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
When Tangyuan flew to the Unicorn Tribe, the people of the Unicorn Tribe had already set off. Jiang Xuan and Shanjia caught up with the Unicorn Tribe team and informed them about the change of the rendezvous point.
After the leader of the One-Horned Tribe learned about the situation, he had no objection. After all, they had not walked far and could save some distance by meeting up in the barren mountains.
After notifying the Unicorn Tribe, Jiang Xuan and Shanjia finally breathed a sigh of relief and flew back on the Tangyuan.
