This Is My Primitive Tribe

Inside the shipyard, Jiang Xuan dispatched over two hundred trustworthy warriors to collaborate, all for the purpose of constructing more ships.

"Ding, ding, ding..."

Jiang Xuan swung the bronze hammer himself, driving nails into the wooden boat. His hand was steady as the pyramid-shaped bronze nails were hammered one by one into the thick wooden planks.

The wooden boats were one of Jiang Xuan's preparations for the Vine Tribe's escape routes.

However, he wasn't building the boats for river crossing; instead, at a critical moment, they would allow more tribesmen to travel downstream to farther places.

Against other tribes, they might rely on the natural barrier of the Feiyu River, but against the Black Snake Tribe, this barrier would definitely fail.

Because most snakes can swim, they would cross the water and continue their pursuit.

Therefore, if necessary, Jiang Xuan would let the tribesmen escape by boat. The Black Snake Tribe members, even if they pursued, wouldn't chase too far because they were still in migration, needing to protect many ordinary tribespeople.

"Chief, Feng Chao requests to see you."

At that moment, while Jiang Xuan was hammering nails, a warrior rushed in to report to him.

The shipyard was a confidential area. Besides the workers inside and Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao, no others were allowed entry.

"Alright, I'll go right away."

Jiang Xuan continued hammering the last few nails steadily, then set down the bronze hammer and stepped outside the shipyard.

Feng Chao was anxiously waiting and immediately approached when he saw Jiang Xuan come out.

"Chief, the Black Snake Tribe is already near the Great Swamp."

"So fast?"

Jiang Xuan slightly frowned and asked, "What about the Mountain Turtle Tribe?"

"The Mountain Turtle Tribe has entered the Great Swamp and taken everything, leaving only empty houses."

"That's good."

Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were in the Great Swamp, the Mountain Turtle Tribe was safe because they were very familiar with the area.

"Chief, I rushed back riding the Great Horned Deer at full speed. Considering the time, the Black Snake Tribe could arrive here in no more than two days; we need to prepare early."

Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Indeed, we should prepare early. You and the Thorny Vine should keep an eye on the Black Snake Tribe's movements."

"Yes!"

After delivering the information, Feng Chao hurriedly left.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xuan returned to the tribe's residential area and ordered the temporary closure of the trading area. Everyone was forbidden from going out freely and were to prepare for battle fully.

All types of grain and other goods were bagged to ensure that when urgency arose, they could be moved out in the shortest time possible.

The shipyard and weapon workshop worked day and night to produce more boats and weapons for wartime needs.

Time passed bit by bit, and the intervals between reports from Thorny Vine grew shorter as the Black Snake Tribe's footsteps drew nearer.

Two days later, the Black Snake Tribe appeared outside the Vine Tribe's territory!

Although the Mountain Turtle Tribe, Sparrow Tribe, and Unihorn Tribe had received intelligence from the Vine Tribe in advance and avoided the Black Snake Tribe.

However, there were more than just these tribes near the Great Swamp; many smaller tribes were completely unaware of the Black Snake Tribe's arrival.

These small tribes, without exception, became food supply points for the Black Snake Tribe, ending in a very tragic fate.

Yet, the Black Snake Tribe's appetite did not stop here.

Through interrogation, they learned from the small tribe members that the strongest nearby was the Vine Tribe, leading them to charge directly toward the Vine Tribe.

"Hiss, hiss..."

Outside Thunder Mountain, a snake as thick as a barrel emerged from the bushes, its cold eyes scanning the moving living beings, its forked tongue continually flickering.

Soon after, more snakes appeared, varying in size and color, crawling on the ground or traversing from the trees, making the scene truly hair-raising.

"Wuwuwu..."

"Shashasha..."

Shortly after, the forest resounded with the hunting cries and dense footsteps of tribal people.

The warriors of the Black Snake Tribe appeared!

They carried various weapons, their faces marked with a totem pattern of a black snake, some wrapped with venomous serpents, exceedingly unsettling.

"Quick, return!"

In the forest not far off, the Vine Tribe warriors tasked with sentry duty witnessed the scene, promptly descended from the tree, and entered the earth tunnels, rushing back swiftly.

Once out of the tunnels, they had arrived outside the Vine Wall.

They hurriedly ran to the gate, then through the gate, returning inside the Vine Tribe.

Near the gate, Jiang Xuan, Chi Shao, and others were each armed, tensely waiting.

A warrior ran to Jiang Xuan, gasping, "Ch... Chief, they're here."

Jiang Xuan tightened his grip around the bronze battle spear and called out loudly, "Check weapons, prepare for battle!"

"Clatter, clatter..."

Over two thousand Vine Tribe warriors immediately began checking their weapons and waited for battle.

Jiang Xuan then said to Chi Shao, "Please have the Vine God seal the gate!"

Chi Shao nodded, closed her eyes, and communicated with the Vine God for a moment.

The Divine Vine on Stone Mountain emitted a green glow, and the Vine Wall surrounding the Vine Tribe began to move.

"Creak, creak, creak..."

The vines rapidly grew and intertwined, sealing all the gates tightly.

"Go up to the watchtower!"

Jiang Xuan moved to the side of the Vine Wall and climbed up the tall watchtower, followed closely by Chi Shao.

The watchtower was built close to the Vine Wall for the purpose of monitoring enemy movements around the Vine Tribe.
