This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 89 - 81 Divine Vine Slumber_2

Jiang Xuan picked up a sturdy wooden fork and said, "If you need it to stop, just use this fork to prop up the front, preventing the trough from filling with water."

Chi Shao exclaimed, "Xuan, you’re so clever. You always come up with practical things."

Jiang Xuan smiled shyly, thinking that these were all the crystallization of countless ancient people’s wisdom from his previous world; he was merely replicating them.

From this day, rhythmic pounding sounds could be heard from within the depths of the bamboo forest in the Vine Tribe.

Over time, everyone knew it was the chief’s hydraulic medicine grinding device at work.

Everyone admired the chief’s intelligence and ingenuity immensely.

In the following days, Jiang Xuan led people to lay out many bamboo tubes with opened joints, bringing the stream’s water to the front of every bamboo dwelling.

This way, whether cooking or washing things, it became very convenient, with no need to run to the creekside anymore.

Days went by, one after another.

"Boom!"

On the morning of March 15th, when the rising sun shone on Stone Mountain, an enormous Ancient Vine suddenly burst forth with endless green light, emitting a terrifying life force in waves.

Every creature in the Vine Tribe and the surrounding mountains felt a chill in their hearts at this moment.

"What happened to the Vine God?"

Jiang Xuan hurried to the altar, where many had already gathered, with Chi Shao standing at the forefront.

Chi Shao closed her eyes, with a mysterious energy fluctuation on her, which Jiang Xuan knew was Witch Power.

After a long time, Chi Shao opened her eyes, looked at the giant vine coiling around Stone Mountain, and said excitedly, "The Vine God told me it has absorbed the tribe members’ Power of Faith and is about to break through!"

"About to break through?"

Jiang Xuan felt very delighted hearing this.

From the current situation, the stronger the Divine Vine, the safer the tribe, and the stronger the tribal warriors would be.

He had heard from the Old Witch that the Totem Gods are divided into three types: Small Tribe Totem God, Medium Tribe Totem God, and Great Tribe Totem God.

This Divine Vine’s strength was equivalent to a Small Tribe Totem God’s level.

Yet, it was now on the verge of breaking through.

This also meant, if all went well, the Vine Tribe would possess a Totem God as powerful as one of a Medium Tribe.

If tribes whose Totem Gods have long ceased existed got wind of this, they’d likely go mad with envy.

"However, the Vine God also told me it will sleep for a period to accumulate more strength, and during this time, it won’t be able to protect the tribe."

Chi Shao looked at Jiang Xuan and said, "During the Vine God’s sleep, we will have to face the outside dangers on our own."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan suppressed his excitement a bit and said, "Let the Vine God focus on breaking through. During this time, we’ll stay close to the tribe to ensure its safety."

Now it was nearing summer, with plenty of food available, and the Vine Tribe lay beside a river, quietly developing while waiting for the Divine Vine to break through.

Chi Shao nodded and then closed her eyes, relaying Jiang Xuan’s words to the Divine Vine.

"Boom!"

On Stone Mountain, the Divine Vine emitted even more dazzling green light, with all its branches becoming crystalline and translucent like jade carvings.

The overwhelming life force roared, causing many creatures around the Vine Tribe to prostrate on the ground, trembling in fear.

Not long after, the green divine light gradually withdrew, the branches of the giant vine returned to normal, and that terrifying aura slowly dissipated.

Chi Shao opened her eyes and said, "The Divine Vine has begun to sleep."

Jiang Xuan dispersed the crowd and instructed all tribespeople to keep it strictly confidential, not even revealing it to the Wanderers who had been living in the Vine Tribe for some time.

As the crowd dispersed, Jiang Xuan’s excitement gradually calmed down.

He said to Chi Shao, "The Vine God’s breakthrough is a good thing, but with the Old Witch gone and the Vine God now asleep, from today onwards, we can only rely on ourselves."

Chi Shao nodded, feeling a heavy sense of pressure.

"During this period, let’s be as cautious and prudent as possible. As long as the Vine God successfully breaks through, everything will improve."

The two then discussed hunting matters before returning to their bamboo huts.

Jiang Xuan gathered all the Vine Tribe warriors to announce that from today onwards, they would only hunt and gather in the nearby forests, avoiding traveling to far places to prevent unexpected trouble.

At the same time, they continued making bamboo rafts and fishing spears, with some warriors starting to learn swimming and fishing.

The warriors of the Vine Tribe all agreed. While they regretted not being able to hunt far away, fortunately, the Vine Tribe was near a river, making fishing quite challenging.

After arranging these tasks, Jiang Xuan, accompanied by Shi Qiu, went to the forests on both sides of the tribe to inspect the previously planted supernatural plants.

"The inserted Cage Vine has sprouted!"

Jiang Xuan came to the southern forest of the tribe and was pleasantly surprised to find that over half of the Cage Vine cuttings inserted two months prior had successfully taken root and sprouted, with only a few drying out.

Indeed, the tenacity of vine species was outstanding, making cutting propagation a viable method.

It was good news, indicating that the plant line of defense Jiang Xuan built had taken a step towards success. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"The seed of the Whip Tree has also sprouted seedlings."

The previous year, Jiang Xuan collected many fruits of the Whip Tree, a miraculous plant whose fruit, when consumed, could increase one’s strength.

Holding an experimental mindset, Jiang Xuan planted the leftover seeds in the intended plant line of defense area.

Unexpectedly, they successfully sprouted.

Though these Whip Tree seedlings didn’t yet possess formidable offensive power, in a few years, when they grew into big trees, they would not only provide the Vine Tribe with plenty of fruit but also protect the tribe with their incredible attack power.

Subsequently, Jiang Xuan went to the northern forest of the tribe, where he had planted a row of Head-Biting Flowers, resembling a plant from a casual game Jiang Xuan played in his previous life.

Each Head-Biting Flower had a massive red blossom.

Their colors were vibrant, and usually, they stayed motionless like other flowers, with a fragrant nectar in the stamens, luring various insects and small animals.

However, when these bugs or small animals tried to eat the nectar, the Head-Biting Flower would suddenly transform into a huge mouth, killing and digesting these greedy intruders.

It’s said that once a tribesman got too close to such a giant flower and lost his head to a bite, hence its ferocious name.

This miraculous plant was also found by Jiang Xuan during a hunt, and he transplanted some seedlings, which had now mostly survived.

Of course, not all supernatural plants were successfully transplanted; some were hard to keep alive, and they withered shortly after transplanting, possibly due to not adapting to the environment.

Peaceful days always passed quickly, and before long, half a month had gone by.

At the beginning of April, the weather began to heat up.

Everything grew wildly, and thunderstorms were frequent, marking the onset of summer in the Southern Wilderness.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

In Thunder Mountain, south of the Vine Tribe, a swarm of Bird-beaked Mosquitoes was flying swiftly, followed by a Mosquito Tribe Hunting Team.

After entering summer, Bird-beaked Mosquitoes began rapid breeding, with their numbers and attack power surpassing other seasons.

Over nearly a year, the Mosquito Tribe had firmly established themselves in the Great Swamp, even wiping out two weaker small tribes, rapidly increasing their strength and population.

The surge in Bird-beaked Mosquitoes and the number of tribal warriors made everything look great for the Mosquito Tribe, quickly fueling their ambition.

The Mosquito Tribe’s activity range was expanding, and they hadn’t forgotten about the hunting team they lost near the Vine Tribe.

So, after a period of patience, they decided to investigate the Vine Tribe’s situation again, determined to uncover the tribe’s details this time and avoid being easily frightened off.

"Rustle..."

In the woods, the Mosquito Tribe’s Hunting Team advanced swiftly.

With Bird-beaked Mosquitoes scouting ahead, they had no fear of suddenly encountering danger.

This hunting team comprised about eighty people, led by Hua Wen, a powerful Three-Color Warrior who was both cunning and vicious.

"We’re nearing the tribe. Spread out and be cautious," Hua Wen ordered as they approached the Vine Tribe. Instantly, over eighty warriors spread out and continued to stealthily advance under the guidance of the Bird-beaked Mosquitoes.
