Chapter 114 Migration Wave
Ever since Tangyuan was able to carry people to fly, Jiang Xuan would take it with him when he went out hunting.
Tangyuan can not only help them drive away prey, but also conduct aerial reconnaissance and detect dangers around them in time.
Soon, Tangyuan was welcomed by everyone in the hunting team.
At the same time, the busy spring farming season in the Teng tribe officially began.
After two years of planting, the Teng tribe already has a large amount of grain seeds. If everything goes well, the grain output of the Teng tribe this year will be several times that of previous years.
This also means that the Teng tribe can feed more people and can increase its population with confidence.
On the breeding team's side, the breeding results of long-tailed rabbits, unicorns, colorful ducks, giant bamboo rats, and colorful pheasants are remarkable, and the number of livestock is increasing.
These farmed livestock can provide the tribe with a large amount of meat, which is much more stable than hunting.
Everyone performs their duties, and the entire Teng tribe is thriving.
…
Southern Wilderness, Crow Tribe.
In mid-February, the weather turns warmer.
After more than a month of preparation, the Crow Tribe finally began to migrate.
"Mah, mah, mah..."
Countless crows were circling in the sky above the woods, forming a large black mass like a swirling dark cloud, making chaotic and harsh calls that made people feel uncomfortable.
In the giant crow's nest in the center of the Crow Tribe, a terrifying black giant crow opened its eyes. Two blood-red rays of light emanated from its eyes, illuminating the entire crow's nest.
Under the big tree, the Crow Tribe witch knelt on the ground and said, "Please ask the Crow God to lead the tribe to find a new place to live!"
Behind the witch of the Crow Tribe, more than 3,000 members of the Crow Tribe knelt in a large black mass. The scene was solemn and eerie, and even the children did not dare to cry.
In the old crow's nest, the giant black crow slowly walked to the edge of the nest, first glanced at the crow tribe members kneeling on the ground, and then flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
"Mah, mah, mah..."
All the black crows were in a state of excitement. They flew around the giant crow and kept calling with hoarse and ugly voices.
All the birds and animals nearby were scared away, and even the insects dared not chirp.
The Crow Tribe witch stood up and said to the Crow Tribe leader beside him: "Let's go!"
The leader of the Crow Tribe also stood up and shouted to all the tribesmen: "Let's go!"
More than 3,000 members of the Crow Tribe immediately got up, took food and tools, followed the crows in the sky, and embarked on the migration journey.
…
At the same time, with the frequent occurrence of disasters such as earthquakes, droughts, and hail, the tribes in the Western Wilderness could no longer bear it and began to migrate to other places.
The Eastern and Southern Wilds are the first choices for migration. The environment in the Northern Wilds is relatively cold and harsh, and most of the Western Wilds tribes will not migrate there.
With such a large-scale migration, the struggles among the tribes were extremely fierce, and countless blood was shed along the way.
Among them, the Jackal Tribe is the one closest to the Southern Wilderness and has the strongest combat power.
The Jackal Tribe had more than 3,000 people, and they were also the first tribe to migrate.
“Ouch…”
In the jackal tribe, a huge jackal let out a shocking howl, and then countless jackals also howled towards the sky, scaring all the animals in the nearby mountains and forests into fleeing madly.
Jackals in the wild are relatively small, but the jackals in the Jackal Tribe are particularly large. They can carry warriors while running and fighting, and they are very powerful.
This is also one of the reasons why the Jackal Tribe is so powerful.
"Let's go to the Southern Wilderness to grab a new territory!"
The leader of the Jackal tribe rode on the back of a tall jackal. He just shouted and then led thousands of warriors riding jackals to clear the way.
These primitive cavalrymen would plunder all the tribes they could defeat along the way in order to replenish the astonishing food consumption during the migration.
When the Jackal Tribe entered the Southern Wilderness, the first to suffer unlucky fate was the Mountain Sheep Tribe located at the border between the Southern Wilderness and the Western Wilderness.
At this time, the poor mountain goat tribe was completely unaware of the danger, and their witch was still recalling the scene he saw after eating the magic mushroom.
…
Southern Wilderness, Teng Tribe.
“Dig deeper and wider.”
On the other side of the Feiyu River, Jiang Xuan was digging a tunnel in the mountain with the tribe’s warriors, holding the newly made bone hoe.
There is more rain in the southern wilderness, so digging tunnels is difficult because water can easily seep out while digging.
Therefore, when digging a tunnel, it is best to find a higher and drier place, and at the same time dig drainage ditches and ventilation holes.
Even so, except in winter, the tunnel is still wet most of the time and can only be used as a temporary shelter, and it is impossible to live in it for a long time.
If you live in a relatively dry place, such as the high mountains where the Blue Sheep Tribe lives, you can even live in caves instead of building houses.
For example, the witch of the Mountain Sheep Tribe has always lived in a cave in the mountains.
In order to cope with future situations, the Teng Tribe prepared three barriers.
The first barrier is naturally the Vine God, and it is also the most important barrier. If the Vine God can't hold on, the people of the Vine tribe can only flee for their lives.
The second barrier is the Flying Fish River.
The people of the Teng tribe can make bamboo rafts to cross the river, but most tribes cannot. If the situation is critical, they can use the bamboo rafts to cross the river.
The third barrier, and the final barrier, is the tunnel that Jiang Xuan and his team are digging.
Originally, Jiang Xuan planned to dig more tunnels under the stone mountain, but then he changed his mind and thought that if the Vine God couldn't protect them, the tunnels would be of very limited use.
So, he simply found a mountain on the other side of the Feiyu River, dug a large number of tunnels, and used it as the last barrier.
In case the Teng God cannot stop the enemy and the Feiyu River cannot stop the enemy, the Teng tribe can finally get into the tunnel of this mountain and use the tunnel to fight the enemy.
Of course, if that time really comes, it will be a fight to the death. Even if the Teng tribe can survive, it will be seriously damaged.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is much better for the entire tribe to escape together than to fight to the death.
“Boom!”
A soldier was digging when suddenly the hoe sank into the soil with a muffled sound.
The warrior pulled out the bone hoe with all his strength, and quickly dug away the dirt around it, then exclaimed, "Chief, there's a hole here!"
He saw a pitch-black hole appear in front of him.
Jiang Xuan and the nearby soldiers ran over immediately.
"Light a torch and throw it in to see."
Soon, a soldier quickly made a torch, lit it in the cooking fire, then ran to the entrance of the cave and threw it inside.
The firelight illuminated the scene inside the cave, which turned out to be a natural cave!
There are many rocky mountains in the Southern Wilderness, with a large number of natural caves, but there are none near the rocky mountains where the Teng tribe lives.
Jiang Xuan didn't expect that there was a cave in this mountain.
"Dig it wider!"
At Jiang Xuan's command, the soldiers stepped forward and quickly widened the cave entrance.
When they dug away all the soil and loose rocks near the entrance, the entrance was expanded to allow an adult to enter by bending over.
"Make some durable torches and go in and take a look."
Jiang Xuan was a little excited. If this cave was deep enough, perhaps they wouldn't have to spend time and effort digging a tunnel.
What tunnel can compare to the criss-crossing underground caves?
Of course, this kind of undeveloped underground cave is very dangerous. People who enter it may get lost or encounter unknown underground beasts.
If Jiang Xuan hadn't relied on his current strong strength and night vision ability, he would definitely not dare to go in with just a few fires.
Soon, the warriors of the Teng tribe made more than a dozen fire-resistant torches made of a mixture of bamboo, resin, etc., lit four of them, and then followed Jiang Xuan into this unfamiliar underground cave.
People are always full of fear of unknown environments. The soldiers followed Jiang Xuan closely, always alert to their surroundings.
Jiang Xuan asked them to carve a mark on the wall with a stone every time they walked a short distance, so that they would not get lost easily.
At first, the cave was quite narrow, but after walking for a while, it became wider and some branches appeared.
At the same time, they found that there were a large number of stalagmites hanging from the ceiling of the cave, shining brightly under the light of the fire, which was very beautiful.
When the torch was half burned, the cave had not yet reached the end. Jiang Xuan did not continue exploring, but asked the soldiers to return the same way.
After returning to the ground, the soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief. Although the cave was beautiful, they always felt nervous when walking inside.
Jiang Xuan said to everyone, "Let's not dig the tunnel yet. You guys stay here and I'll go back."
Jiang Xuan hurried down the mountain, then took a bamboo raft across the river, entered the bamboo forest, and looked for Chishao.
The soldiers who stayed behind looked at each other. They didn't know what Jiang Xuan wanted to do, so they could only guard the cave entrance and wait patiently.
