Chapter 366: 216 Chapter Execution_2
This jar of pickles that Jiang Xuan made has been pickled for half a year, it's too sour, and doesn't have a crisp texture, instead it's quite soft.
After finishing the pickles, Jiang Xuan cleaned the pottery bowl, chopsticks, and spoon, and then went to the yard to work.
He has planted a lot of vegetables in the yard, often needing to do some weeding, fertilizing, and soil cultivation work.
He carried a hoe and walked to the yard, patiently weeding the vegetables.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Knock knock."
"Who is it?"
"Leader, it's me, Feng Chao."
Jiang Xuan looked around, usually responsible for opening the door, Tang Yuan was not there, and Crescent was also out to feed. He had to put down the hoe and personally open the door.
"Creak..."
The yard door opened, Feng Chao hurriedly walked in, his face very serious, with an anxious look in his eyes.
"Feng Chao, what happened?"
"Leader, a large tribe from the Western Wilderness is migrating this way, and has already wiped out many small tribes along the way."
After hearing Feng Chao's words, Jiang Xuan's face changed, and he asked, "Is the news accurate? Is it really a large tribe?"
"Absolutely accurate, because some of the wanderers from the wiped-out tribes have already fled near us."
"That's troublesome." Jiang Xuan frowned.
A large tribe, with a population of at least ten thousand, and very formidable combat strength.
The most important thing is that each Great Tribe Totem God is a very fearsome existence.
They can stand out from numerous small and medium tribes, step by step growing into a Great Tribe Totem God, so their strength is undoubtedly formidable.
The Vine Tribe combined with other allied tribes can defeat a medium-sized tribe, but can they defeat a large tribe?
Jiang Xuan had no confidence at all and was even a little flustered.
"Have we figured out which large tribe from the Western Wilderness it is?"
"According to those wanderers, this tribe raises a large number of snakes. I asked the tribes migrating from the Western Wilderness, and there's only one large tribe in the Western Wilderness that raises snakes, which is the Black Snake Tribe."
"Black Snake Tribe... Is this tribe very strong?"
Feng Chao's expression was very serious as he said, "According to people from the Western Wilderness tribes, the Black Snake Tribe is extremely powerful."
"Trouble is brewing..."
Jiang Xuan closed his eyes, originally thinking that after dealing with the Fierce Bird Tribe, he would at least be able to develop peacefully for a while, unexpectedly, a stronger tribe had arrived.
After a long time, Jiang Xuan reopened his eyes and said, "Go and gather more information, try your best to understand the situation of the Black Snake Tribe."
"Yes!"
Feng Chao retreated to lead Thorny Vine to continue gathering information.
Jiang Xuan stood in the yard for a while, picked up the hoe to continue weeding, but after a while felt upset, so he simply put the hoe aside temporarily.
He sat by the pool, where the Ice Lotus had grown two round leaves, with a few water droplets rolling with the water ripples from time to time.
Jiang Xuan stared at the lotus leaves on the water for a while, muttering to himself, "Lotus leaf, frog, Frog Tribe!"
"Oh right, how could I forget the Frog Tribe? They should know more about the situation in the Western Wilderness."
Jiang Xuan immediately stood up, washed his hands, then went to the Frog Tribe.
He left the Vine Wall, declined the suggestion of the Guard Team Warriors to accompany him, and went to the Frog Tribe alone.
The Frog Tribe is not far from the Vine Tribe. After leaving the south gate of the Vine Wall, walking southeast for a while, you arrive there.
Because he has been busy recently, although the distance is not far, Jiang Xuan hasn't been to the Frog Tribe for a long time.
Today, after he walked into the Frog Tribe's territory, he clearly noticed many changes.
First of all, the number of houses in the Frog Tribe has increased quite a bit, which is obvious at a glance.
Secondly, the Frog Tribe began digging ponds and farming land, all imitating the practices of the Vine Tribe.
Finally, it's the number of giant frogs.
When they first migrated here, the Frog Tribe had only twenty to thirty giant frogs left, very pitiful.
But in just over a year, Jiang Xuan was surprised to find that the Frog Tribe's territory was full of half-grown giant frogs, with a very large number.
"The reproductive ability of frogs is amazingly strong!"
Watching the giant frogs hopping around, Jiang Xuan sighed deeply.
At this rate, in a few years, the Frog Tribe's giant frog population would recover, even exceeding the number they had when they lived in the Western Wilderness.
Because the Southern Wilderness obviously suits these giant frogs better than the increasingly arid Western Wilderness.
However, Jiang Xuan was not in the mood to carefully observe the changes in the Frog Tribe today. He glanced casually, then headed straight into the Frog Tribe's residential area to find Huo Meng.
The warriors of the Frog Tribe all knew Jiang Xuan, so when they found out he had arrived, someone immediately went into the tribe to report.
Soon, the Witch of the Frog Tribe came out to welcome Jiang Xuan, surrounded by a group of Frog Tribe warriors.
Jiang Xuan exchanged a few polite words with the Witch, then was led into the best wooden house in the tribe.
"Is Chief Huo Meng not in the tribe?" Jiang Xuan asked.
"Chief Huo Meng has gone hunting with the warriors of the Hunting Team. If Chief Xuan wants to find him, you might have to wait for his return to find him."
"Since Chief Huo Meng is out hunting, talking to the Witch is just as well."
"If Chief Xuan has anything to say, please feel free to instruct."
"Do you know the Black Snake Tribe?"
When Jiang Xuan mentioned the "Black Snake Tribe," he clearly saw the Witch of the Frog Tribe tremble all over, his expression becoming unnatural.
"Of course, the Black Snake Tribe is one of the large tribes in the Western Wilderness. Who doesn't know them?"
The Witch of the Frog Tribe said this with a tone somewhat mocking and somewhat resigned.
Jiang Xuan keenly noticed his change in expression and tone, so he asked, "Does your Frog Tribe hold a grudge against the Black Snake Tribe?"
The Witch of the Frog Tribe fell silent, only nodded after a long time, "We do hold a grudge, if it weren't for the Black Snake Tribe, the Frog God wouldn't have gone so quickly..."
Even though the Witch of the Frog Tribe didn't finish, Jiang Xuan already understood his meaning.
Snakes have a broad diet, and frogs are one of them.
Jiang Xuan thought that when the Frog Tribe was in the Western Wilderness, surely they had been bullied by the Black Snake Tribe, and bullied pretty badly, otherwise, the Witch of the Frog Tribe wouldn't have been so hostile toward the Black Snake Tribe.
Jiang Xuan seriously said, "If the Frog Tribe holds a grudge against them, then you must be careful."
"What do you mean?" The Witch of the Frog Tribe looked at Jiang Xuan.
"The Black Snake Tribe is migrating this way."
"What?"
The Witch of the Frog Tribe was dumbfounded, then furiously said, "We spent so much time, lost so many people, and finally migrated to the Southern Wilderness, why is the Black Snake Tribe still haunting us!"
Jiang Xuan said, "There's no use in talking about it now. Tell me about the Black Snake Tribe's situation in detail, and let's figure out a way to solve this together."
The Witch of the Frog Tribe reluctantly nodded, then explained the situation of the Black Snake Tribe to Jiang Xuan in detail.
The Black Snake Tribe is one of the large tribes in the Western Wilderness, residing in the Western Wilderness, with a population of over ten thousand, occupying a vast territory.
Although the Black Snake Tribe has also mastered some techniques for planting fruit trees, grains, and taming wild animals, the techniques are very primitive and the yield is extremely low.
They must rely on hunting and gathering, plus plundering everywhere, to sustain their consumption of food, clothing, weapons, and other resources.
Furthermore, most snake habits, although not like giant frogs needing water constantly, prefer moist environments.
When the Western Wilderness became arid with little rain and the land desertified, those snakes, like giant frogs, couldn't stand such an environment.
For this reason, the Black Snake Tribe could only migrate to the Southern Wilderness, otherwise, they would face the threat of famine and water shortage on a large scale.
After listening to the Witch of the Frog Tribe's introduction, Jiang Xuan asked again, "What are the Black Snake Tribe warriors good at? Do they have any special skills?"
The Witch of the Frog Tribe thought for a while and said, "Black Snake Tribe warriors are adept at using poison, skilled in ambush, very formidable."
"Our Frog Tribe usually poisons weapons, using blow darts, but the Black Snake Tribe can directly let venomous snakes bite people unawares."
"Moreover, the Black Snake Tribe can act at night, the Snake Tribe Totem God grants them night vision and swift abilities, making them very fast in battle."
