This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 254 - 163 Crossing the River with the Vine Wall_2
Chapter 254: Chapter 163 Crossing the River with the Vine Wall_2
Around the altar, countless roots burst from the ground, rising upward to envelop the entire altar, except for the spot where Chi Shao stood, where the roots deftly avoided.
Soon after, the roots retracted underground once more, and all the offerings and beast blood on the altar vanished, leaving only fragments of bone and bone powder.
Those participating in the ritual for the first time were stunned to the point where they couldn’t close their mouths.
After the Divine Vine enjoyed the offerings, Chi Shao began chanting the Blessing Spell once more.
"Ssshhh..."
Countless vines extended overhead above the Vine Tribe members, showering them with droplets of vibrant green Divine Liquid.
The green Divine Liquid was quickly absorbed upon contact with the people, benefiting all members of the Vine Tribe.
Those who hadn’t become warriors found some of them transforming into warriors.
Those already warriors found their strength growing stronger.
The mood of all the tribe members was uplifted, especially those who had just joined the Vine Tribe, who felt like shouting out to express their joy.
Among them, separate thick vines dangled down above Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao to enhance their power.
On the altar, with the infusion of Divine Power, Chi Shao’s eyes became even more captivating, and her entire aura underwent a significant transformation, commanding instant awe from anyone who laid eyes on her.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuan’s body was fortified with Divine Power, his strength now incredibly close to that of a Five-Color Warrior, ready to break through at any moment.
With the vines retracting, Jiang Xuan clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying strength now hidden within him!
Soon, all the vines retreated back to Stone Mountain.
This ritual gave the Vine Tribe over a hundred warriors, enhancing the tribe’s overall strength.
However, the Divine Vine’s blessings were not yet complete.
"Rumble..."
Underground, the roots of the Divine Vine crazily spread, almost covering the entire territory of the Vine Tribe.
"Swish, swish..."
Countless roots wrapped around the pests like snakes, insects, and rodents within the Vine Tribe, absorbing them as nutrients.
This ensured that the tribe’s houses would be free of insect damage and more durable, and that the tribe’s food would be safe from rodents or insects.
This was not all.
On the outskirts of the Vine Tribe, the towering Vine Wall was again infused with copious amounts of Divine Power, reviving all the thick vines.
"Rumble..."
The walls of vines extended eastward, spanning the Feiyu River, rooting on the opposite bank and continuing to grow forward.
"Oh my..."
In the fields, all the captives witnessing the awe-inspiring sight exclaimed in shock.
The ten-meter-high vine wall radiated green light, with its new roots plunging deep into the earth to absorb nutrients while quickly spreading forward, ultimately encircling the edge of the Vine Tribe’s secondary settlement.
From a bird’s-eye view, the vine wall resembled a green fortress wall, connecting end to end in a giant circle, encompassing the entire territory of the Vine Tribe within.
Even the Old Witch, standing by and observing, exclaimed in wonder, "Truly spectacular."
The Old Witch harboured a tinge of envy for the Vine Tribe, knowing full well how many enemies such a towering vine wall could fend off and how many troubles it could prevent.
For tribal people, what matters most?
A sense of security!
Undoubtedly, this massive vine wall provided a strong sense of security to the members of the Vine Tribe.
"Thank the Vine God."
On the altar, Chi Shao led the thankfulness to the Vine God.
"Thank the Vine God."
All the members of the Vine Tribe knelt toward the Vine God in heartfelt gratitude.
On Stone Mountain, the Divine Vine swayed gently, gradually withdrawing its Divine Power.
On the towering vine wall, doorways appeared to the east, south, west, and north.
These doorways were for the Vine Tribe members to enter and exit.
In the future, the Vine Tribe could concentrate its defensive forces near the doorways and patrol the rest in regular intervals.
With this, the Great High Priest ritual concluded, and on Stone Mountain, the Divine Vine’s green divine light withdrew, leaving a mist that shrouded the mountain once more, its full form obscured.
After the Great High Priest ritual ended, the captives were returned to their original housing.
Meanwhile, those who had shed their captive status and even become warriors could move to new houses, enjoying the same treatment as other Vine Tribe members from that point forward.
During this Great High Priest ritual, even the captives witnessed the Divine Vine’s miracles firsthand, prompting subtle changes in their mindset.
Their former beliefs had long since crumbled, though they had been unwilling to admit it.
Now, many have witnessed the power of the Vine God and have seen some captives transform through their own efforts to become members of the Vine Tribe, living a good life.
Their resistance to the Vine Tribe gradually dissipated.
Who wants to remain a captive forever? Who doesn’t want to live well?
Although they didn’t speak it out loud, by the end of today, many captives already had the idea of working hard to join the Vine Tribe.
Everyone has a tendency to follow the crowd. As more people desire to join the Vine Tribe, they will eventually abandon their inner resistance and integrate into the Vine Tribe.
September 20th.
The weather is getting colder, the chilly wind starts to whistle, and winter will arrive soon.
The Hunting Team has begun to venture out more frequently to secure more prey.
Meanwhile, those tribes migrating from the Western Wilderness are also hunting crazily, stockpiling food for winter.
Some tribes’ hunting teams had encounters with the Vine Tribe’s hunting team in the forest, and inevitably, conflicts arose over prey.
After a few skirmishes between the Vine Tribe’s hunting team and other tribes’ hunting teams, some warriors were injured or killed.
Jiang Xuan decided to personally lead two hunting teams to go hunting, so as not to be at a disadvantage when encountering other tribes.
In the dense forest, Jiang Xuan rode on Moonlight, moving slowly.
It was now late autumn, and occasionally, withered yellow leaves would whirl down from the trees.
Behind him, over two hundred tribal warriors of the Vine Tribe followed closely on various mounts.
Additionally, there were a dozen tribal warriors responsible for scouting ahead and searching for prey.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Not long after, a warrior ran back quickly to report to Jiang Xuan.
"Chief, there’s a herd of wild oxen ahead."
Jiang Xuan perked up and waved his hand behind him, saying, "Spread out and encircle them from both sides."
Behind him, Gou Teng and Shi Qiu nodded and each led a group of warriors to the left and right.
Jiang Xuan still rode on Moonlight, leading thirty heavy cavalry riding Black Wind Rhinoceroses, moving forward slowly.
The Black Wind Rhinoceroses were large and noisy; they couldn’t advance too far ahead, or the prey would flee upon sensing them.
Therefore, when they got close to where the prey was, Jiang Xuan and the warriors with him dismounted from the Black Wind Rhinoceroses, leaving them to wait in place.
They each took their weapons and silently moved to encircle the herd of wild oxen.
The wild oxen were very alert, grazing while listening to the surroundings, occasionally lifting their heads to check for any disturbances.
"Moo!"
Suddenly, one of the wild oxen sensed something amiss and bellowed.
"Thud, thud, thud..."
The herd of wild oxen immediately stopped grazing and started running.
"Woo, woo, woo..."
From both sides of the forest, the Vine Tribe’s two hunting teams charged out, some shooting arrows, some throwing spears, and in the blink of an eye, five wild oxen toppled over.
Under the siege of over two hundred warriors, the wild oxen couldn’t escape, falling one after another.
"Bang!"
Jiang Xuan rushed at one of the wild oxen and surprisingly toppled the massive creature, pressing down its head as a stone knife made of fine materials pierced into its neck.
The wild oxen struggled frantically, but couldn’t break free from Jiang Xuan’s restraint, eventually losing its life.
"Phew..."
Jiang Xuan stood up, wiping the blood off himself, and said to the other warriors, "Tie up all these wild oxen and we’ll have the Black Wind Rhinoceroses carry them back later."
The paths in the forest are hard to traverse, and if the warriors carried the game themselves, they’d move very slowly. With the Black Wind Rhinoceroses’ help, it would be much faster.
"Yes!"
Gou Teng and the others immediately took out ropes to bind the wild oxen.
"Eeyah!"
At this moment, a loud bird cry suddenly echoed from the sky; it was Tang Yuan, who had come out with Jiang Xuan, warning him.
"Whoosh!"
Before Jiang Xuan could warn the others, an arrow shot through the air, aiming at him.
Jiang Xuan reacted swiftly, immediately dodging the arrow, while shouting loudly.
"Take cover!"
The Vine Tribe’s warriors, hearing the shout, quickly found places to hide.
