This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 190 - 135 Joint Attack on the Crow Tribe_2

The previous times they met, Shan Jia always wore a heavy turtle shell, making him look like a humanoid giant turtle, somewhat comical.

But today, he only wore beast hide clothing.

"Turtle shell is very heavy, it’s more comfortable to wear beast hide clothing when not going out."

"That’s true."

Laughing and chatting, the two entered the Mountain Turtle Tribe and went to Shan Jia’s large house.

"Xuan leader, the weather has turned cold, and mushrooms aren’t growing, so we can’t have bone marrow skewers today. But no worries, we can have dried mushroom stew."

Shan Jia cleaned a pottery cauldron, which was traded from the Vine Tribe.

Then, he put beast meat, dried mushrooms, and water into the cauldron, covered it, and let it simmer.

After doing all this, Shan Jia asked, "Xuan leader, what brings you to the Mountain Turtle Tribe today?"

Jiang Xuan had come alone and didn’t bring any goods, clearly not here for trading.

Jiang Xuan calmly took out a small bag of salt from a beast hide bag and handed it to Shan Jia, saying, "New salt, a gift for you to try."

Shan Jia opened the bag and found it was filled with salt; he exclaimed in surprise, "This... this is too valuable."

"It’s okay, we’re friends, just accept it."

Shan Jia wanted to refuse but Jiang Xuan had given so much salt that he instinctively accepted it, unable to refuse.

"Well then... thank you, Xuan leader."

After Shan Jia accepted the salt, the smile on his face became more sincere.

After giving the gift, Jiang Xuan finally broached the main topic.

"Actually, I came here to discuss something important with Leader Shan Jia."

"Xuan leader, feel free to speak, if I can help, I certainly will."

Shan Jia, not being foolish, didn’t agree immediately just because he had received the gift.

Jiang Xuan got straight to the point, "How about attacking the Crow Tribe, is Leader Shan Jia interested?"

"What? Attack the Crow Tribe?"

Shan Jia was so surprised, he thought he might have misheard.

"That’s right, the Crow Tribe and the Jackal Tribe have been fighting for so long, right now they are weakened. If the Vine Tribe, Mountain Turtle Tribe, and perhaps even the Beaver Tribe, join forces, we can definitely defeat the Crow Tribe!"

Shan Jia didn’t respond immediately; he was naturally cautious, needing to think carefully about such a significant matter.

Jiang Xuan continued, "If we don’t attack now, after winter, the Crow Tribe will become strong again, perhaps even stronger than before. At that time, whether it’s the Vine Tribe or other tribes around the Great Swamp, they might be attacked by the Crow Tribe again."

Shan Jia was silent for a moment and said, "Xuan leader, this matter is too big, I need to discuss it with the Witch."

"That’s only right." Jiang Xuan expressed understanding.

Shan Jia asked Jiang Xuan to wait while he hurriedly went to find the Witch of the Mountain Turtle Tribe and asked the Witch to consult the Totem God’s opinion.

After a long time, Shan Jia returned to Jiang Xuan.

With a solemn expression, he said, "Xuan leader, a joint attack on the Crow Tribe is possible, but our Mountain Turtle Tribe will only assist, not lead the charge."

Shan Jia added, "That’s the Turtle God’s intention."

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, but once the battle begins, you can’t just watch. You must join the attack."

"Naturally, our Mountain Turtle Tribe won’t sit by and watch the warriors of the Vine Tribe fight desperately."

"Great, then it’s settled, in three days we will unite to attack the Crow Tribe!"

The two finalized the matter and established a verbal agreement.

Jiang Xuan then said, "By the way, I remember the Beaver Tribe had quite a few grievances with the Crow Tribe too; I want to visit them to invite them to attack the Crow Tribe together. Can Leader Shan Jia take me there?"

Shan Jia shook his head and said, "I advise Xuan leader not to go; the Beaver Tribe is very timid and won’t join us in attacking the Crow Tribe."

Jiang Xuan was surprised and asked, "Why? The Crow Tribe poses a significant threat to them as well."

Shan Jia smiled wryly and said, "The Beaver Tribe is different from other tribes; they are used to hiding underground and never taking the initiative to attack."

"Is that really the case?"

"If Xuan leader doesn’t believe it, I’ll take you to the Beaver Tribe."

Since he had come all this way, Jiang Xuan was unwilling to give up on the Beaver Tribe as an ally, so he prepared to persuade them.

After the meal, Shan Jia put on a thick turtle shell, took a dozen warriors, mounted the mountain turtle, and set off through the water route together with Jiang Xuan to the Beaver Tribe.

Jiang Xuan and Shan Jia sat on the same giant turtle, with Tang Yuan flying above as a lookout.

The distance between the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Beaver Tribe wasn’t very far; after a few hours, Jiang Xuan saw buildings by the water.

Unlike other tribes’ buildings, the Beaver Tribe’s houses were half submerged, appearing to float on the water.

Moreover, these houses weren’t ordinary houses; from a distance, they looked more like giant nests built from woven trees and reeds.

Seeing Jiang Xuan’s surprised expression, Shan Jia laughed, "It’s odd, right? I also found it strange when I first saw the Beaver Tribe’s houses; these houses were built by the large otters."

Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered scenes from his past life of beavers building dams with branches, incredibly impressive, sometimes even blocking small rivers.

These houses might be constructed based on the dams.

Shan Jia approached Jiang Xuan mysteriously, whispered, "The place where the Beaver Tribe lives is dug with many tunnels, and the entrances are all underwater. If they encounter danger, they’ll dive into the tunnels together with the large otters to hide."

Looking at the Beaver Tribe’s buildings, Jiang Xuan thought to himself: Truly, there’s nothing unusual in the vast world

As they got closer to the strange houses of the Beaver Tribe, members of the Beaver Tribe had already seen the mountain turtle and rode large otters to greet them.

The Beaver Tribe leader Lu Zhu was also among them; upon seeing Shan Jia and Jiang Xuan together, he was quite surprised, internally speculating about their visit.

"Leader Shan Jia, Leader Xuan, welcome to the Beaver Tribe."

Lu Zhu invited Shan Jia and Jiang Xuan, and the warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, into the Beaver Tribe’s peculiar houses, while the giant mountain turtles would bypass the buildings and rest on the shore.

The oval roof, numerous passageways, and thick walls made from woven wood and reeds made Jiang Xuan feel like he was inside a giant nest, a truly unique experience.

Lu Zhu led them winding inside, and along the way, Jiang Xuan saw many large otters.

Finally reaching a spacious room, Lu Zhu stopped and invited everyone to sit wherever they liked.

Though there were no chairs, the floor was covered with several layers of reeds, making it quite comfortable to sit.

"Come, Leader Shan Jia, Leader Xuan, try some ice lotus dug up a few days ago."

A warrior brought over some clean ice lotus, and Lu Zhu invited everyone to taste.

Jiang Xuan was given a piece about the thickness of an arm; biting into it, he felt a cool sensation and a refreshing sweetness in his mouth.

Compared to the ice lotus he had grown in his garden, the ice lotus from the Beaver Tribe had a far superior taste.

Perhaps this is the allure of the original habitat.

After enjoying the ice lotus, Lu Zhu invited them to eat some fish and beast meat, as well as various wild fruits.

After a satisfying meal, the three began discussing serious matters.

Jiang Xuan explained the plan to jointly attack the Crow Tribe, emphasizing the threat they posed to the Beaver Tribe.

However, after hearing Jiang Xuan’s words, Lu Zhu shook his head.

"Our Beaver Tribe is too weak, we have few warriors, even if we join the attack, we won’t be of much help..."

Lu Zhu said much, but in essence, the Beaver Tribe did not want to be involved in the attack on the Crow Tribe.

As expected, the Beaver Tribe liked to hide in their domain, unwilling to take action even when knowing the Crow Tribe was a threat.

Jiang Xuan felt a bit disappointed; he had hoped to persuade the Beaver Tribe to join the fight, but since they were unwilling, he’d have to proceed without them.

After the talk, Jiang Xuan didn’t linger at the Beaver Tribe but left with Shan Jia, riding the giant mountain turtles.

Perhaps out of courtesy, before they left, Lu Zhu gave Jiang Xuan and Shan Jia each some precious ice lotus, ensuring their trip wasn’t in vain.
