This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 215 - 146 Vine Tribe Can’t Be That Strong_2

"It’s alright if it takes long, no rush. Our cattle haven’t grown up yet. Just work on it when you have time."

Jiang Xuan paused, then asked: "Can this plow handle be made?"

The plow handle is a carpenter’s task, but Jiang Xuan had seen Elder Blackstone make wooden handles for weapons, so he believed Elder Blackstone could handle some carpentry.

Indeed, Elder Blackstone nodded and said: "No problem."

"That’s wonderful!"

Jiang Xuan beamed with joy, feeling like he had found a treasure.

"Later, I’ll have Da Jiao deliver a freshly killed Unihorn Bird to you, for a taste of the novelty."

Jiang Xuan understood that for such skilled stone artifact masters, offering them some privileges was very necessary.

Elder Blackstone did not refuse. He worked based on his skills, accepting whatever the tribe provided him, without demanding extras or being picky.

"By the way."

Jiang Xuan sat close to Elder Blackstone and asked: "Have you considered taking on apprentices? Such exquisite craftsmanship, it’d be a shame if it’s not passed on."

Elder Blackstone was silent for a moment, then said: "I once had two apprentices, but they died in battle when the tribe was annihilated."

Speaking of these two apprentices, Elder Blackstone’s eyes were somewhat somber and melancholic, showing he had deep feelings.

Jiang Xuan comforted him: "They have gone to accompany the Totem God you had before."

Elder Blackstone nodded, then focused on grinding his stone tools, producing a "scrrrr" sound.

"I’m open to accepting apprentices, but I’ll choose the individuals myself."

"No problem, please feel free to pick. If you find suitable candidates, I’ll certainly have them become your apprentices. It’d be best to take on several; our tribe is growing, and we’re increasingly short of stone tools."

"Alright."

After agreeing, Elder Blackstone stopped talking, burying himself in polishing the stone tools.

He was not a talkative person.

Having resolved two concerns, Jiang Xuan didn’t linger and left Elder Blackstone’s place after saying goodbye.

He first went to the breeding area, instructing Da Jiao to select a plump Unihorn Bird, clean it, and deliver it to Elder Blackstone.

Then, he checked the growth of several wild cattle calves.

The shoulder height of the calves had reached about one meter, with horns growing approximately thirty centimeters long, making them look very robust overall.

These calves were tamed by the Vine God, being very docile, and obedient without needing nose rings.

However, for the next generation of calves, nose rings would be needed because it’s not possible for the Vine God to do this all the time; ultimately, they must handle it themselves.

Calves without nose rings are hard to control and can become very temperamental. Once grown up, even ordinary warriors struggle to control them.

"Once these calves have matured, the curved plow should also be almost ready to be used for farming."

Jiang Xuan felt relieved. Farming without cattle isn’t complete and is too inefficient.

With the addition of cattle, the productivity of the Vine Tribe will greatly increase, allowing them to sustain more people through agriculture.

"Screee..."

Just as Jiang Xuan was inspecting the breeding area, suddenly, sharp bird cries echoed from the sky.

Jiang Xuan looked up, seeing twelve large black birds flying towards the Vine Tribe from afar.

Tang Yuan, who was scavenging from afar, quickly flew back upon seeing the situation, standing watchfully by Stone Mountain, keeping an eye on those black birds.

The giant eagle remained calm, still sprawled in the giant eagle nest, resting with its eyes closed.

The newly joined warriors of the Vine Tribe thought it was an invasion from other tribes, nervously gripping their weapons.

"No need to be tense. They aren’t enemies; it’s the travelling team from the Black Teeth Tribe."

Jiang Xuan asked everyone to put down their weapons, avoiding being mocked by the people of the Black Teeth Tribe.

The traveling team from the Black Teeth Tribe is a group specifically for trade, riding on giant Black-toothed Birds, traversing the Southern Wilderness to buy and sell goods, acting as primitive merchants.

Before long, the twelve Black-toothed Birds landed one after another.

Since the fields hadn’t been planted yet, these Black-toothed Birds landed on the spacious farmland.

"Is this the Vine Tribe? We haven’t come to the wrong place, have we?"

The leader of the traveling team, Wu Yu, dismounted from the Black-toothed Bird. Seeing the orderly rows of houses, ponds, farmland, and many clan members of the Vine Tribe, he felt incredulous.

He opened a Beast Skin Scroll, which had some lines and various totem patterns from different tribes.

The Vine Tribe’s totem pattern was drawn on it, albeit in a relatively smaller size.

This Beast Skin Scroll is the Black Teeth Tribe’s most primitive map.

Of course, this map does not show any mountains, rivers, or lakes; it simply uses lines to connect the tribes on the ground, distinguishing them with totem patterns.

The Black Teeth Tribe visited in the spring of the Vine Tribe’s second year, and now it is the fourth spring, so only two years have passed.

In Wu Yu’s impression, the Vine Tribe was a very small tribe with only over a hundred members and not many houses.

If it were any other tribe, regardless of whether two years or more passed, there wouldn’t be much change.

However, the Vine Tribe has grown several times larger, which is indeed shocking.

"Leader Wu Yu, long time no see."

Jiang Xuan, accompanied by some warriors from the Vine Tribe, walked confidently to Wu Yu.

"You’re... the leader of the Vine Tribe?"

"That’s right, I’m the leader of the Vine Tribe, Xuan."

Seeing Jiang Xuan, Wu Yu had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Two years since last seen, Jiang Xuan had grown taller and more robust, and most striking were the four Warrior Patterns on his face!

Wu Yu had a strong impression of the Vine Tribe because this small tribe was where he managed to sell two pieces of Spider Silk Clothing.

If his memory served correctly, Jiang Xuan was only a Two-Color Warrior two years ago.

Now, Wu Yu was still a Three-Color Warrior, yet Jiang Xuan had become a Four-Color Warrior, which Wu Yu found unacceptable.

He knew very well that despite riding the Black-toothed Birds every day for trading and consuming numerous exotic fruits, his strength barely improved.

Wu Yu felt his mindset collapsing.

Wu Yu couldn’t help but ask: "Leader Xuan, your Vine Tribe seems to have changed quite a bit."

Jiang Xuan replied casually: "For the past two years, other tribes have frequently tried to invade us, so we had to fight back, never expecting to win each time."

Wu Yu knew things couldn’t be so simple; since this pertained to the Vine Tribe’s secret, he wisely refrained from asking more.

As a primitive merchant, he had learned not to ask unnecessary questions, minimizing trouble.

"Leader Wu Yu must have brought many goods this time? Come, come, let’s rest in my yard first."

Jiang Xuan warmly invited Wu Yu to his courtyard, as the Vine Tribe currently lacked dedicated accommodations for visitors from other tribes.

Upon entering the bamboo forest, Wu Yu first glanced upwards at the Divine Vine on Stone Mountain.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but looking at the Divine Vine gave him a sense of unease and a terrifying feeling he couldn’t quite describe.

This vine had become even more formidable; this was Wu Yu’s instinct.

He dared not continue observing, obediently following Jiang Xuan.

Once inside Jiang Xuan’s yard, Wu Yu spotted a purple bird of prey crouching in the tall bamboo shed, watching them vigilantly.

Due to Tang Yuan’s growing size, the bamboo shed had been remodeled several times, growing taller each time, and Jiang Xuan’s yard had been expanded several times as well.

Wu Yu stared at Tang Yuan for quite a while, exclaiming in surprise: "Is this... the rare Purple Snake Eagle?"

Jiang Xuan asked: "Leader Wu Yu, have you come across this bird before?"

Jiang Xuan had long been puzzled about what kind of bird of prey Tang Yuan belonged to; if Wu Yu could enlighten him, it would be great.

"I’ve seen Snake Eagles of other colors that look similar, but this one, with fully purple feathers, I’m seeing for the first time."

"However, I’ve heard an elder in my tribe say that there exists a Purple Snake Eagle, larger and fiercer than ordinary Snake Eagles, yet never seen; unexpectedly, I’ve seen one here in your Vine Tribe today."

Wu Yu expressed his amazement, feeling a small Vine Tribe had given him many surprises.

Jiang Xuan suddenly understood why Tang Yuan had been adept at catching snakes and enjoyed eating them since childhood—it was in its nature.

Wu Yu asked: "Leader Xuan, where did this Purple Snake Eagle come from? If there were other Purple Snake Eagle chicks, I would exchange precious items."

Jiang Xuan said: "I stumbled upon it while hunting; I haven’t found any other chicks."

"That’s truly unfortunate."

Wu Yu expressed deep regret; if more chicks could be found, selling them to large tribes would exchange for many valuable goods and earn high profits.
