Chapter 320 The Fifth Subordinate Tribe
Vine tribe, reception room.
Lu Zhu, the leader of the Otter Tribe, stood awkwardly in the reception room. Everything in front of him made him feel uncomfortable. He was even afraid of dirtying the floor by walking.
That’s right, the reception room of the Teng tribe has a floor. It is not made of wooden boards, but thick ceramic tiles. It is laid very flat and swept clean.
This reception room is a typical mud brick and tile structure, but the interior and exterior walls are painted with a layer of lime, making it very white.
There was a large rectangular table and two rows of chairs in the room. On the table were many dried meats, nuts, seasonal wild fruits and other foods, all placed in beautifully painted pottery basins.
There are several large wooden shelves against the wall, on which are placed various golden bronze wares, weapons, as well as huge animal teeth, animal skins and other handicrafts.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Compared with the Teng Tribe, Lu Zhu suddenly felt that the place where he lived was almost like a den of wild beasts.
"Chief Luzhu, why are you standing? Sit down and eat."
After Jiang Xuan walked in from outside, he sat down in the main seat in the reception room very naturally, and then asked Lu Zhu to sit down.
Lu Zhu sat on the stool uncomfortably. The stools in the Teng tribe were relatively high, which made him uncomfortable. However, he did not want to show it too obviously, so he could only move his butt from time to time.
"Eat, why are you being so polite? Chief Luzhu has come all the way here, so he must be hungry. Try some food from our Teng tribe."
At Jiang Xuan's invitation, Lu Zhu took a piece of dried meat and tasted it. It tasted really good, and the most important thing was that the dried meat had salt in it.
However, although the jerky was delicious, he had no appetite to eat it now and stopped after taking two bites.
"Chief Xuan, I came here this time because I have something important to discuss with you."
"Just tell me what you have to say." Jiang Xuan picked up a wild fruit and took a bite, looking very relaxed.
Lu Zhu thought for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Chief Xuan, our Otter Tribe wants to become a subsidiary tribe of the Teng Tribe. We hope the Teng Tribe can accept us."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan quickly finished eating the wild fruit in his hand and asked seriously, "Is this your own decision, or your Otter God's decision?"
Lu Zhu said: "This is a joint decision between Wu and I, and the Otter God also agrees."
"In that case, Chief Luzhu, please wait here for a moment. I will go to discuss this with Teng Shen and Wu."
Jiang Xuan left the meeting room and went to the bamboo forest to find Chishao first. Then he and Chishao went to the altar in the center of the tribe to discuss with Shen Teng.
The divine vine was like a towering tree, immense in size. After listening to Jiang Xuan's statement, he only said two words: "Okay!"
Jiang Xuan said: "Since the vine god has agreed, then sister, please go with me to the otter tribe, accept their surrender, and draw the totem pattern."
Chishao nodded and said, "No problem."
“Buzz!”
At this moment, a emerald green seed slowly fell from the divine vine, and divine power surged like water waves.
The grand voice of the vine god rang in Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao's ears: "Give this seed to the otter god, it knows what to do."
"I will obey the oracle."
Chishao held the seed in both hands, and saw that the light on the seed quickly dimmed and gradually became the same as an ordinary seed.
Jiang Xuan said: "Let's go, let's go meet Lu Zhu, the leader of the Otter Tribe."
Chishao nodded, then carefully put away the seed and followed Jiang Xuan to the living room.
In the living room, Lu Zhu was waiting anxiously. Even though the food was delicious, he had no appetite at all.
After witnessing the strength and prosperity of the Teng tribe with his own eyes, he had his first intuitive understanding of the huge gap between the two tribes.
Therefore, what he originally thought was a sure thing has now become uncertain.
Just when Lu Zhu was getting restless, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao finally walked in together.
Lu Zhu immediately stood up, saluted Chi Shao first, and then asked Jiang Xuan: "Chief Xuan, how did you guys discuss the matter just mentioned?"
Jiang Xuan said: "The Vine God agreed, and Wu and I also agreed to let the Otter Tribe become the fifth affiliated tribe of the Vine Tribe."
“That’s great!”
Lu Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his worries.
The human mind is very strange.
Before coming to the Teng tribe, Lu Zhu was not very enthusiastic about submitting to the Teng tribe, and was even a little disgusted.
Becoming a subordinate tribe means that the Otter Tribe will lose its independent power and will need to seek the opinion of the Vine Tribe before doing anything major.
But after coming to the Teng Tribe, he witnessed with his own eyes the power and prosperity of the Teng Tribe. All kinds of new things that he had never heard of and seen before made him dazzled and had a great impact on his soul.
Not only that, he also found out that the Vine Tribe already had four subordinate tribes, including the Mountain Turtle Tribe, which had a good relationship with the Otter Tribe.
Luzhu's mentality gradually changed greatly, from being reluctant to being willing. He was even afraid that the Teng tribe would despise him and was unwilling to accept the Otter tribe.
Because Lu Zhu knew very well that with the strength of the Teng tribe, the Otter tribe would definitely gain a lot of benefits after surrendering, and might even find an opportunity to rise.
Leading the tribe to rise is the wish of every tribal leader, and Luzhu is no exception.
In the next half day, Jiang Xuan explained the affairs of the tribe to the various leaders. Afterwards, he took Chishao and some soldiers of the guard team and boarded a large ship to the Otter Tribe.
Originally, Jiang Xuan also invited Lu Zhu to take a boat ride, but Lu Zhu declined on the grounds that he was not used to riding. He rode on a giant otter and followed the fleet.
Because they were moving downstream and with the help of sails, the fleet was moving very quickly.
The next morning, the fleet docked at the ship dock in front of the Otter Tribe.
The simultaneous arrival of the leader and witch of the Vine Tribe had already alarmed all the members of the Otter Tribe. The witch of the Otter Tribe hurried out to greet them and asked people to bring out the best food to entertain them.
Chishao politely ate something and said to the witch of the Otter Tribe, "Our Vine God has something for me to bring to the Otter God. I would like to see him."
The Otter Tribe witch did not dare to delay and immediately contacted the Otter God.
Soon, the otter god reluctantly emerged from the underwater cave and crawled onto the river beach.
Chishao, Jiang Xuan and others also came to the riverbank. Chishao walked forward alone, held up the seed with both hands, and said to the Otter God: "This is what the Vine God asked me to bring. Please accept it, Otter God."
“Buzz…”
The seed seemed to have consciousness. After seeing the Otter God, it immediately emitted a soft green divine light and flew towards the Otter God.
The otter god's eyes were full of reluctance, even fear.
But when the seed flew in front of it, the otter god opened its mouth helplessly and swallowed the seed.
After the seed fell into the otter god's belly, it quickly took root and sprouted, taking root in its body.
This is a means of control used by the Vine God. If the Otter God has any bad intentions in the future, the little divine vine in its body can take its life at any time.
This is also the price that must be paid to become a subordinate tribe. Otherwise, why would the Vine Tribe trust the Otter Tribe? "Plop..."
The otter god was obviously in a very unhappy mood. After swallowing the seeds, he dived into the river without looking back and swam back to his cave along the river.
The next step was easy. The Otter Tribe moved a huge stone with one side polished and placed it in the open space in front of the tribe. Chi Shao carefully painted the totem pattern of the Vine Tribe on it.
Afterwards, Jiang Xuan announced to all the members of the Otter Tribe: "From today on, the Otter Tribe will be officially protected by the Vine Tribe. In addition, the Vine Tribe will also teach planting and breeding techniques for free, so that the members of the Otter Tribe will have enough food to eat in the future!"
After hearing Jiang Xuan's words, the members of the Otter Tribe were still not very interested, but Lu Zhu was very excited because he had seen with his own eyes how powerful the techniques of the Teng Tribe were.
"Thank you, Chief Xuan and the Teng tribe witch."
Lu Zhu expressed his sincere gratitude and invited them to eat in the unique house of the Otter Tribe again.
At this point, the Otter Tribe officially became the fifth subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe.
