The farming industry of the Teng tribe started again, Dajiao was in high spirits, and began to cultivate a large number of worms, and then used these worms, plus wild vegetables, aquatic plants, small shrimps, crabs and snails to feed chickens and ducks.
Under Jiang Xuan's instructions, the hunting team brought back many animals such as bamboo rats, gray-haired rabbits, and bighorn sheep, and let Bighorn continue to domesticate them.
To this end, the breeding areas of the Veng tribe have built many pens with sturdy wood to tame those animals that are relatively large and do not dig burrows.
In the future, Jiang Xuan also intends to breed larger mammals such as wild boars and bison. If he can successfully domesticate them, Jiang Xuan will consider getting the Quyuan plow out and using cattle to plough the fields.
Compared with manpower digging, the speed of cows turning over the ground is many times faster, not to mention that the cows in this world are large and powerful enough.
After only a month, the entire Vine tribe became orderly again.
The houses were all built, the totem poles were erected again, and after the cauldron was fired, it was placed on the altar again.
Even the rhythmic pounding sound of the hydraulic device deep in the bamboo forest was restored.
During this period, several babies were added to the tribe, which made the tribe more dynamic.
Jiang Xuan specially asked people to add nutritious food to these mothers, and also sent some soft animal skins and other daily necessities, and allowed them to cultivate for a period of time, so that they could raise their children with peace of mind.
The days seemed to have returned to peace, and everyone performed their own duties and worked together for the growth of the tribe.
However, it is clear to all that the calm now is just the calm before the storm.
There must be a battle between the Vine Tribe and the Mosquito Tribe, and this battle is coming soon.
If you rely on the current soldier, there is no chance of winning against the Mosquito tribe.
But after seeing the scene of Shenteng's tribulation, the people of the Vine tribe are very confident in the victory of this war.
June tenth.
Jiang Xuan called all the clansmen together to discuss the search for magical plants.
"The Vine God has made a breakthrough, but it still takes a while to cultivate. We can't just rely on the Vine God, we must try our best to improve our strength."
"I decided to lead a hunting team to the Mountain Turtle Tribe to see if I could trade some more vigorous mushrooms or other mushrooms that could improve their strength."
"At the same time, we will also try to find the fruits of some magical plants along the way."
Jiang Xuan added: "This time, Wu will go with us."
In fact, Jiang Xuan didn't want Chi Shao to go with him if there was another way, because the leader and Wu left the tribe at the same time, and it was difficult for others to hold back those tourists.
Once something happens to the tribe, it will be a catastrophe.
Fortunately, the Vine Tribe still has Shen Teng, which is like a sefixing needle, so there is no need to worry about making a big mess.
The reason why Chishao was asked to go together is because only Chishao knows enough magical plants. If Jiang Xuan brought people there by himself, he would probably miss the magical plants as well.
Jiang Xuan ordered twelve warriors with the strongest fighting ability, and arranged the affairs in the tribe, and then began to prepare to go to the mountain turtle tribe to trade things.
At this time, the animal bones and teeth left by the old witch came in great use. They were all very popular trading items for the tribesmen.
After everything was ready, the next morning, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao took twelve warriors, as well as some animal bones and teeth, and set foot on the road to the mountain turtle tribe.
Jiang Xuan had never been to the Mountain Turtle Tribe, but he knew where the Mushroom Forest was.
Given the importance the Mountain Turtle Tribe attaches to the Mushroom Forest, as long as the Mushroom Forest is found, the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe should be found.
"jijiji..."
In the hot weather, the dense virgin jungle, all kinds of bugs hide on the branches or leaves and sing wildly.
The Vine tribe has been walking in the jungle for most of the day.
They have dark green totems painted on their faces, weapons in their hands, and they carefully observe their surroundings, guarding against possible dangers that may appear suddenly.
Chishao asked Jiang Xuan, "How far is it from the mushroom forest?"
Jiang Xuan replied, "I should be able to arrive before dark tomorrow."
From the vine tribe to the mushroom forest, plus the overnight time, it takes about two days. If you go fast, the time can be shortened a little.
"Then we'll find a place later, ready to spend the night."
It is dangerous to spend the night in the jungle, you must find a safe place in advance, you need to build shelter and make a fire.
Without fire and shelter, it could easily be eaten as dinner by predators in the jungle.
"What..."
A group of bighorn sheep were eating grass in front of them, and a mountain leopard suddenly rushed out of the bushes next to it. It bit a bighorn sheep by the neck like lightning, and then dragged the bighorn sheep away.
The flock fled, and the big horn sheep became the food of the mountain leopard.
This mountain leopard is very fast and has a wide range of diets. Sometimes people are also their prey objects.
Not long after Jiang Xuan and the others walked, they encountered another giant python entrenched in the tree. When they passed under the tree, the giant python tried to attack them, but Jiang Xuan discovered it in advance and beheaded it.
The tough snake skin is peeled off and has many uses.
The snake body was also cut into several pieces and brought to the place where they camped at night, where they could be roasted and eaten at night.
Similar dangers are very common in the jungle. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
Because of this, in fact, the hunting teams of various tribes have a high casualty rate.
The casualty rate of the hunting team of the Vine Tribe is relatively low, because the Vine Tribe has relatively abundant food, so they don't have to work so hard.
Before the sun went down, they found a large stone wall, built a temporary shelter on the stone wall, and raised a fire.
At night, Jiang Xuan and others roasted the meat of the giant python.
Jiang Xuan tore the snake meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said to Chi Shao: "It's really hard to find plants that can improve their strength. We've been walking for a day, and we haven't encountered a single one."
Chishao said: "That's because people from all tribes need plants that can improve their strength. Once they encounter them, they tend to pick them up, and even dig up trees. Over time, these plants will become less and less. "
Jiang Xuandao: "Then if you find a place where no one has been before, is it possible to get a lot of these plants?"
Chi Shao was stunned for a moment and said, "Maybe, but such a place should be hard to find."
The Southern Wilderness is very large, and the number of tribal people is actually not large, but it is impossible for the tribe to continue from generation to generation and migrate from generation to generation.
A place that may be inaccessible now, but a few years, decades, hundreds of years ago, it may have been inhabited by many tribes.
Nothing special happened that night.
The next day, everyone continued on their way, and Chishao found some rare herbs on the way, which was an unexpected gain.
Before dark, they finally arrived at the periphery of the magical mushroom forest.
"Hey, it's summer now, and there are still so many giant mushrooms?"
When Jiang Xuan saw that the mushroom forest was almost unchanged from what he saw last time, he was very surprised.
General mushroom life is very short, from growth to withering, some only a few days, some longer can reach one or two months.
Unless it is a special mushroom such as wood ganoderma, the growth period will be longer.
Obviously, the various giant mushrooms in this mushroom forest are also magical plants, and their growth cycle is not the same as ordinary mushrooms.
Chi Shao said: "Since these mushrooms are still there, people from the Mountain Turtle Tribe should come here often, and we will negotiate with them when the time comes."
"It's getting dark now, let's find a place to spend the night first."
The group found a safer place outside the mushroom forest, built a shelter, and built a fire for the night.
It was getting dark, and everyone was roasting meat and eating some plant tubers. Uncaria, who was in charge of sitting on the tree and sentry, suddenly exclaimed.
Jiang Xuan immediately stood up and asked the tree, "Uncaria, what's wrong with you?"
Uncaria's voice was a little excited: "Boss, come and see."
"Look at what?"
"Mushrooms, mushrooms that glow!"
Hearing the words of Uncaria, Jiang Xuan immediately climbed the tree and looked towards the mushroom forest.
Seeing this, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
I saw that in the huge mushroom forest, there are many mushrooms that emit faint fluorescence as night falls, just like night lights.
These glowing mushrooms are red, green, and blue, and the whole mushroom forest shimmers with colorful light, which is unbelievable.
"Actually...there really are mushrooms that emit light!"
"beautiful!"
The admiration of Jiang Xuan and Uncaria made the others unable to bear it.
They all climbed the nearby trees, and then they all saw this shocking scene.
Jiang Xuan is okay, after all, he has seen too many night scenes in his previous life, and he just feels novel and beautiful about these glowing mushrooms.
But for those tribesmen who have never seen electric lights and rarely see other lights except fire and moonlight at night, this kind of glowing mushroom has a very strong visual impact.
Including Chi Shao, many people are crazy.
But Jiang Xuan wondered, if this glowing mushroom can exist for a long time and can be transplanted, then can it be used as a light bulb at night?
Of course, these mushrooms emit relatively weak fluorescence, and it is not realistic to rely on a few mushrooms to light up the house.
But even so, it would be a pleasure to have some glowing mushrooms in the tribe.
At this time, in the mushroom forest, more than 100 warriors from the mountain turtle tribe were bringing two giant mountain turtles to collect a very precious mushroom with the help of the light emitted by these mushrooms.
This mushroom, named Yeming Mushroom, will have the ability to see things at night like a nocturnal animal after eating it.
Having night vision is really important to the tribesmen.
Because tribal people often spend the night in the jungle, but because they cannot see in the dark, they can only use fires to prevent wild beasts from attacking, but they cannot hunt at night.
In fact, the world in which Jiang Xuan lived in his previous life was only after the appearance of portable lighting devices that people could go out at night.
Night mushrooms are more difficult to identify during the day, but they emit a special light at night. Therefore, the people of these mountain turtle tribes will find and collect night mushrooms at night.
"There's one over there!"
The warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe saw a night mushroom and ran over excitedly.
"Let me pick it up."
The leader of the mountain turtle tribe, Shan Jia, still wearing a set of heavy tortoise shells, walked to the spot where he found the luminous mushroom, and then carefully reached out and picked it off.
This is an ordinary-looking mushroom, only the size of a palm. If it is during the day, similar mushrooms are almost everywhere in the mushroom forest.
But in the dark, this luminous mushroom emits a faint green light as a whole, which is very beautiful.
Shan Jia put the Yeming Mushroom carefully into the animal skin bag, and said happily, "Continue to look for it!"
That night, the people of the Vine tribe watched the night scene of mushrooms in the middle of the night outside the mushroom forest, and the people of the mountain turtle tribe also found the night mushrooms in the mushroom forest in the middle of the night.
There are gains for both sides.
The next day, when the morning sun slowly rose, the glowing mushrooms in the mushroom forest gradually dimmed and became indistinguishable from other mushrooms.
If you don't see it with your own eyes and experience it yourself, many people may not believe that there is such a glowing mushroom in the forest.
The next day, Jiang Xuan just woke up and was sitting by the fire, roasting some plant tubers to eat, when the soldier in charge of guarding the tree suddenly shouted.
"Boss, a group of people came out of the mushroom forest, and they also brought two big mountain turtles!"
Jiang Xuan's spirit was shocked, and he said: "It must be someone from the Mountain Turtle Tribe, go and have a look."
Jiang Xuan quickly put the food in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it, then called Chishao and other soldiers, and hurriedly walked to the place where the mountain turtle tribe came out.
The soldier in charge of the sentry also quickly climbed down from the tree. He used a tool to quickly dig the soil, cover the fire, and ensure that the fire was extinguished, and then hurriedly followed.
Outside the Mushroom Forest, the warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe came out one after another, with relaxed smiles on their faces, obviously they had a good harvest last night.
The leader of the mountain turtle tribe and the leader of the hunting team talked and laughed along the way, discussing how much the mushrooms harvested this time could increase the strength of the tribe warriors, and how much can be exchanged for some mushrooms.
Just then, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the woods.
"someone is coming!"
The people of the mountain turtle tribe immediately became nervous, and the mountain armor directed everyone to quickly take advantage of the favorable terrain and two huge mountain turtles to prepare to defend against the enemy.
"Friends of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, don't be nervous, we are from the Vine Tribe, and we have helped you fight against the Mosquito Tribe before!"
Jiang Xuan began to shout from a distance, so as not to be attacked by the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe and cause unnecessary misunderstanding.
"Vine tribe?"
Shan Jia thought about it for a while, and felt a little familiar, but not very impressed.
It was not until Jiang Xuan and the others appeared from the forest, when Shan Jia saw the totem pattern on Jiang Xuan's face~www.mtlnovel.com~ that he finally remembered.
Totem patterns are easier to remember than names.
"It turned out to be a friend of the Vine tribe, why did you come here?"
Although Shan Jia remembered about the Vine tribe, he still did not relax his vigilance, because the mountain tortoise and the Vine tribe only met once, who knows what purpose the other party has.
Jiang Xuandao: "Leader of the mountain armor, we made a special trip to find the mountain turtle tribe to do business, but we couldn't find where your tribe is, so we had to try our luck here.
Jiang Xuan waved his hand and asked the Vine tribe warrior to show the animal bones and teeth that were going to be traded.
"Leader of the mountain armor, you see, we came here to do the deal with sincerity, and we have absolutely no bad intentions."
Shan Jia saw those animal teeth and bones, and immediately believed Jiang Xuan's words by five or six points.
He also saw that there were only fourteen people on the Veng tribe's side, and their strength was not strong, while the Shanjia tribe had more than one hundred warriors, occupying an absolute advantage, and his nervousness finally calmed down a little.
