Chapter 209 Snake-Repelling Herbs
After returning from the Frog Tribe, Jiang Xuan went straight to find Chi Shao to inquire about the special abilities that Great Tribe Warriors could obtain.
"What the Frog Tribe said is true."
Chi Shao gave Jiang Xuan a confirmed response.
"The Old Witch mentioned that once a Totem God breaks through to the Great God Realm, many changes will occur."
"One change is the ability to directly communicate with all living beings, including human speech, animal language, bird language, etc."
"Another change is that the warriors of our tribe can be granted some abilities that belong to the gods, such as the night vision and swift abilities gained by the Black Snake Tribe warriors."
"As for other changes, the Old Witch didn't say, perhaps only the gods know."
After listening to Chi Shao, Jiang Xuan asked curiously, "If the Vine God breaks through to the Great God Realm, what abilities will we gain?"
Chi Shao thought for a moment and said, "Probably more resilient vitality and faster wound healing ability."
Jiang Xuan asked in surprise, "No ability to control vine plants?"
Chi Shao laughed, "Xuan, that belongs to the Witch's powers, and let me correct you, we don't control vine plants, we ask them for help."
"Oh, right, right, ask for help."
Jiang Xuan recalled the Vine God was not far away and quickly corrected his wording.
Some things still need to be noted, otherwise if the Vine God were petty-minded, wouldn't he find a chance to deal with him upon hearing this?
"The Black Snake Tribe's warriors have special abilities, while our Vine Tribe warriors don't have any, and their numbers far exceed ours. How are we supposed to fight this battle?"
Jiang Xuan was very troubled. Previously, dealing with smaller tribes could rely on the Vine God's power to crush them, and dealing with medium-sized tribes could be by forming alliances with other tribes and strategizing, but what about against a Great Tribe?
In the face of overwhelming power, all strategies seem pale and weak.
At this time, Chi Shao said, "It's not entirely without solutions."
Jiang Xuan's eyes brightened and he asked, "Sister, have you thought of a good solution?"
Chi Shao said, "Actually, we don't necessarily have to fight the Black Snake Tribe, they won't choose to settle here, so all we need to do is avoid them until they leave."
Jiang Xuan said dejectedly, "That's easier said than done, but with so many from our Vine Tribe, where can we hide?"
Chi Shao smiled slightly, "We're not going anywhere, just staying in the tribe."
"If we stay in the tribe, the Black Snake Tribe will definitely come to plunder. Any tribe migrating to the Southern Wilderness would be raiding everywhere, let alone a tribe as large as the Black Snake Tribe needing food."
Jiang Xuan knew very well that the current Vine Tribe was like a big piece of juicy meat. Once discovered, everyone would want a bite because they had too much food.
"What if we plant snake-repelling herbs around the tribe?"
"What?"
Jiang Xuan looked at Chi Shao, hoping she would explain in detail.
Chi Shao continued, "Soon after the Mosquito Tribe attacked, I thought of this. If we had planted mosquito-repelling herbs around the tribe, those giant mosquitoes wouldn't have gotten near."
"It's the same for the Black Snake Tribe. Their most formidable aren't those warriors but countless snakes, including their Totem God."
"If we plant snake-repelling herbs around the tribe, those snakes would detour far away upon smelling the scent."
"Tribal people have a habit of trusting their war pets' judgments. Areas avoided by snakes are places warriors of the Black Snake Tribe would perceive as dangerous, thus steering clear."
In terms of vision, Chi Shao might be inferior to Jiang Xuan, but in terms of experience and understanding of the tribal people, Chi Shao is undoubtedly much stronger than Jiang Xuan.
So, after hearing Chi Shao's words, Jiang Xuan immediately nodded.
"But the Black Snake Tribe will be coming soon. Where can we find so many snake-repelling herbs? Plus, they have to be planted and survive."
Chi Shao smiled and said, "The Vine God can help."
"Of course!"
Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered the scene of the Divine Vine controlling various magical plants to defeat enemies before. As a powerful Totem God, it can control not only vine plants.
Chi Shao added, "Xuan, you should now dispatch as many people as possible to the nearby forests to find snake-repelling herbs and plant them outside the Vine Wall. Then the Vine God will enable them to grow massively."
"Alright, I'll arrange it right away."
Jiang Xuan hurriedly left Chi Shao's courtyard, then gathered all the leaders, asking them to take warriors to the nearby forests to search for snake-repelling herbs.
The tribal people, having lived in the Primitive Forest for a long time, are familiar with snake-repelling herbs. Most know one or two types, carrying powders made of these herbs while hunting outside.
Therefore, after Jiang Xuan gave the order, aside from the Guard Team and ordinary tribesmen without combat ability, other warriors ventured into the forests to search for snake-repelling herbs.
Upon hearing the news, the Frog Tribe also started searching, as they feared the Black Snake Tribe more than the Vine Tribe.
Two days later, almost all snake-repelling herbs in the surrounding forests were dug up and planted around the Vine Tribe.
On the third morning, under Chi Shao's prayers, the thin fog over the Stone Mountain dissipated again.
"Buzz!"
The Divine Vine emitted endless green divine light, horrifying divine power surged, making all surrounding creatures tremble in fear.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"
Countless green vines grew rapidly, like huge green dragons, stretching out around the Vine Tribe.
