This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 205 - 142: The Opportunity the Mountain Turtle Tribe Has Been Waiting for Years

Chapter 205: Chapter 142: The Opportunity the Mountain Turtle Tribe Has Been Waiting for Years

"Ee-er..."

The purple Tang Yuan landed on the outskirts of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, and the giant mountain turtles looked up and then slowly continued to crawl forward.

Jiang Xuan got off Tang Yuan’s back, instructed it to wait in place, and then walked toward the gate of the Mountain Turtle Tribe’s fence.

"The Vine Tribe’s leader Xuan has arrived."

"Quick, go report to the leader."

Upon seeing Tang Yuan land, the warrior guarding the gate immediately sent someone to report to Shan Jia.

When Jiang Xuan reached the gate, Shan Jia also happened to meet him there.

"Hahaha, leader Xuan, I haven’t seen you for a winter, and you’ve grown taller!"

Shan Jia laughed heartily and gave Jiang Xuan a bear hug.

This body of Jiang Xuan, only sixteen this year, was still growing taller and had become increasingly strong, unlike the frail self of the past.

"Leader Shan Jia is looking quite well too," Jiang Xuan replied with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, leader Xuan, after we fought the Crow Tribe last year and obtained those grains and supplies, our Mountain Turtle Tribe survived the whole winter without losing a single tribe member to hunger or cold, hahaha..."

Shan Jia had a proud look on his face. Clearly, having no deaths from hunger or cold through a winter was a source of great pride for him.

Indeed, it was something worth being proud of.

Most tribes exist in a state of perpetual hunger, with never enough food to eat or beast hide clothing to wear.

Not dying of hunger is the greatest hope for many tribe members, and if they have warm beast hide clothing and windproof houses, that would be even better.

Jiang Xuan laughed and said, "Indeed, fighting the Crow Tribe was quite rewarding, but we’ve nearly eaten up all the food in our Vine Tribe and are worried about it."

"Our Mountain Turtle Tribe is in a similar situation, but surviving the winter is a good thing. Digging up wild vegetables and hunting more can always get us food."

"Come on, let’s talk inside."

With enthusiasm, Shan Jia led Jiang Xuan into the tribe, entering a relatively spacious wooden hut.

"The snow has just melted, and the mushrooms in the Mushroom Forest haven’t grown yet, or I could treat you to mushroom barbecue or mushroom stew."

Shan Jia put some plant tubers and some beast meat into the pottery cauldron and said, "For now, this is all we have to eat, freshly brought back today."

"At times like these, having food is a blessing; who dares to be picky?"

"That’s true!"

A smile returned to Shan Jia’s face, and he carefully sprinkled a little salt from a small jar into the pot and then put it away with care.

After that, while waiting for the food to cook, they finally began discussing serious matters.

"Actually, I came this time to discuss something important with leader Shan Jia."

"Leader Xuan, please speak freely."

"I wonder if leader Shan Jia is interested in a big move to seize more food and supplies for the tribe?"

Shan Jia’s heart was stirred, and his posture straightened as he stared intently at Jiang Xuan.

"Who would we target?"

"The Jackal Tribe."

"Is that the Jackal Tribe that’s been fighting the Crow Tribe for so long?"

"That’s right. What does leader Shan Jia think of this target?"

Shan Jia didn’t reply immediately, his small eyes narrowing as he weighed the pros and cons of the matter.

Jiang Xuan used a stick to poke at the burning wood, making the flames burn more vigorously.

"Leader Shan Jia, the Jackal Tribe has been fighting the Crow Tribe for so long and just endured a winter; they are at their weakest now. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to attack them in the future."

"Moreover, the Jackal Tribe is more ruthless than the Crow Tribe. The nearby tribes have almost been wiped out by them. Once they regain their strength, they will definitely attack further tribes. Our Vine Tribe and your Mountain Turtle Tribe will not be spared."

"Now is the best time. You know the strength of our Vine Tribe, and with your Mountain Turtle Tribe, we can certainly take down the Jackal Tribe, eliminating future threats!"

Shan Jia still didn’t speak.

In the past, he might have directly refused Jiang Xuan, as the Mountain Turtle Tribe did not like taking risks. They never did; they preferred to guard their small piece of land.

However, attacking the Crow Tribe last year gave them a taste of the benefits.

In just one day, they gained a large amount of food and supplies.

Pillaging can be addictive because resources come so quickly.

Shan Jia thought for a long time and said, "I need to discuss this with the Witch. Leader Xuan, please wait."

"Alright, I’ll wait here for you."

Jiang Xuan knew that asking Shan Jia to consult the Witch meant the matter was halfway to success.

He believed that as the person in a tribe with the most information and wisdom, the Witch would know what choice would be most advantageous.

Shan Jia left the house, heading straight for the center of the tribe.

The totem god of the Mountain Turtle Tribe resided in the center of the tribe, and naturally, the Witch of the Mountain Turtle Tribe lived not far from the totem god, watching over the god day and night.

When Shan Jia found the Witch and conveyed Jiang Xuan’s words, the Witch pondered for a moment and then said decisively, "Agree to it!"

"Are we really going to attack the Jackal Tribe?"

Shan Jia cautiously asked, seeking a definite answer.

"That’s right, just as he said. The Vine Tribe plus the Mountain Turtle Tribe can surely take down the Jackal Tribe. Why shouldn’t we go?"

The eyes of the Mountain Turtle Tribe’s Witch were blazing as he said, "Our Mountain Turtle Tribe has lived here for many years. Although relying on the Mushroom Forest, life is fairly good, there’s never been much development."

"The current situation is a great opportunity, and I have a feeling the Vine Tribe will rise, and we can rise with them!"

"If we miss this opportunity, who knows how long it will take for our Mountain Turtle Tribe to rise again."

Shocked, Shan Jia asked, "Witch, is the Vine Tribe really that powerful?"

The Witch looked at Shan Jia and said, "Their warriors may not be much, but do you know how powerful their Totem God is? Even the Turtle God feels threatened!"

"That is a Totem God that only medium-sized tribes can possess!"

At this moment, Shan Jia was utterly shocked. He never imagined that the Vine Tribe would possess such a powerful Totem God.

"Does that mean we’re sure to win this battle?"

The Witch of the Mountain Turtle Tribe nodded and said, "That’s right, the crow can’t overcome that vine, the jackal likewise can’t defeat that vine, and with our powerful Turtle God, what does the Jackal Tribe have to counter?"

"Great, if that’s the case, let’s immediately give them a reply."

Shan Jia walked out of the Witch’s house with great excitement, the words spoken by the Witch kept echoing in his heart, making him feel elated.

Meanwhile, the Witch of the Mountain Turtle Tribe walked outside, gazing at the immense Turtle God, whispering, "The opportunity for the rise we’ve waited for many years is about to arrive for the Mountain Turtle Tribe!"

The sleeping Turtle God suddenly opened its eyes, looking in the direction of the Jackal Tribe.

On the other side, Shan Jia returned to the house, staring at Jiang Xuan with burning eyes, saying, "Chief Xuan, our Mountain Turtle Tribe is willing to join the Vine Tribe to attack those Jackals!"

Jiang Xuan stood up: "I knew Chief Shan Jia would make the right choice."

"After defeating the Jackal Tribe, as usual, we’ll split food and supplies equally between our two tribes."

"Good!"

Shan Jia nodded heavily, feeling as if he had gained an advantage, knowing the Vine Tribe’s Totem God was strong.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

The food in the pot kept boiling, releasing an aroma.

Shan Jia warmly invited Jiang Xuan, "Chief Xuan, come, sit down and eat, nothing is more important than eating."

"Haha, indeed, eating is the most important."

The two sat by the hearth, enjoying pleasant conversation, and scooping food from the pottery cauldron to eat.

After eating and drinking to their fill, the two further agreed on the date to attack the Jackal Tribe, the meeting place, and some specific battle details.

Once everything was settled, Jiang Xuan didn’t linger, immediately bid farewell, riding Tang Yuan back to the Vine Tribe.

As for the Beaver Tribe, since they refused to attack the Crow Tribe last time, Jiang Xuan didn’t bother to ask them this time.

After Jiang Xuan left, the Mountain Turtle Tribe immediately began preparing for battle, food and weapons for the journey were necessary, and those without combat ability needed to be properly settled.

On the other side of the Great Swamp, the Beaver Tribe were diligently repairing parts of their houses flattened by the snowfall and searching for food in the Great Swamp.

...

South of the Vine Tribe, Thunder Mountain.

Three spies from the Jackal Tribe cautiously approached Thunder Mountain, riding jackals whose padded paws made almost no sound on the ground.

One of the spies glanced at the Totem Pattern of the Vine Tribe on a large rock ahead.

"Right ahead is the Vine Tribe. Let’s spread out first, be careful, don’t get discovered."

The other two nodded, then each split off, making it easier to hide.

Soon, they walked into the forest of Thunder Mountain.

This place was quite close to the Vine Tribe, and they were very cautious to guard against any Vine Tribe Warriors that might appear.

However, strangely, they walked smoothly into the forest without encountering any Vine Tribe Warriors.

They thought the Vine Tribe was negligent in defense, which made them quite happy, feeling optimistic about completing their mission to scout the Vine Tribe.

Yet, they didn’t know that two pairs of eyes had been observing their every move from the shadows since they entered the forest.

Mai Dong was hiding in a camouflaged pit connected to a tunnel, alongside another Vine Tribe Warrior.

Mai Dong didn’t speak, but gestured to the Warrior beside him, signaling him to return to the Tribe via the tunnel and report.

The warrior nodded and immediately slipped into the tunnel, swiftly returning to the Vine Tribe.

Mai Dong continued to watch the three Jackal Tribe Warriors.

The pit he was in was covered with thorns and branches, making it hard to discover unless someone knew he was there.

Gradually, one Jackal Tribe Warrior approached the area where the Cage Vine grew.

Cage Vine, Whip Tree, Head-Biting Flower, and Thunder Tree formed the first line of defense for the Vine Tribe.

Among them, Thunder Tree and Whip Tree required time to grow and were temporarily powerless.

The Head-Biting Flower was not numerous yet and was planted on the northern side near Wild Boar Mountain.

Currently, only the rapidly growing Cage Vine could exercise its defensive role.

And the Jackal Tribe Warrior unwittingly entered the Cage Vine area.

On the surface, this area seemed normal except for the abundance of vines and lacked apparent traps.

The Jackal Tribe Warrior, observing around, rode the jackal, walking slowly and stepped onto the vines on the ground.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Suddenly, Cage Vines erupted from the ground, forming a net and instantly trapping both the warrior and the jackal together inside.

"What is this..."

The warrior panicked, drawing a bone knife, frantically hacking at the Cage Vines.

"Howl..."

The jackal also wildly bit the Cage Vines, hoping to break the strange vines.

However, all efforts were in vain. The Cage Vines were incredibly tough, impossible to cut with the bone knife, and the jackal’s teeth couldn’t bite through them quickly.

Moreover, thorny vines began wrapping around them.

"Ah..."

The warrior screamed as thorns pierced his arm, soon feeling his strength rapidly slipping away.

The jackal, similarly pricked, was also losing strength.

Before long, one person and one jackal lay weakly in the Cage Vines, calling out in despair, unable to move.
