This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 509 - 313: The 4th Affiliated Tribe

Vine Tribe, Hall of Discussion.

"After our Mountain Turtle Tribe becomes a subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe, we have only one request, which is to follow the Vine Tribe back to the central region."

"If we can return to the ancestral land and establish a foothold in the central region, it will be beneficial for the Vine Tribe too. After all, we still have some friends in the central region who can help the Vine Tribe with many things."

"I've finished speaking..."

In the hall of discussion, Shan Jia sincerely expressed the Mountain Turtle Tribe's demands and then looked at the people of the Vine Tribe with nervousness.

Jiang Xuan asked Chi Shao: "Witch, let's consult the opinion of the Vine God on this matter first."

Chi Shao nodded and then closed her eyes, communicating with the Divine Vine through her soul.

Everyone watched Chi Shao nervously, especially Shan Jia, who was restless because the Vine God's answer would determine the future of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.

After a moment, Chi Shao slowly opened her eyes: "The Vine God agrees to let the Mountain Turtle Tribe become the fourth subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe."

Jiang Xuan then asked everyone: "Does anyone have any other opinions? Feel free to speak."

Gou Teng and others exchanged glances and then shook their heads.

Jiang Xuan stood up and announced loudly:

"Alright, since that's the case, I declare that once the contract is signed between the Vine God and Turtle God, the Mountain Turtle Tribe will be the fourth subordinate tribe of our Vine Tribe. From now on, we will share honor and disgrace, stand together through storm and stress!"

"That's great!"

Shan Jia sighed in relief, and the heavy stone hanging in his heart finally fell.

The leaders of the Vine Tribe warmly congratulated Shan Jia.

After the meeting ended, the leaders returned to their respective posts to work.

With fewer people around, Shan Jia whispered to Jiang Xuan: "Leader Xuan, now that we are a subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe, about the technology of planting and taming prey... can we, the Mountain Turtle Tribe, learn it?"

Previously, the Mountain Turtle Tribe's relationship with the Vine Tribe was decent, but not solid. The Mountain Turtle Tribe could only rely on observation to learn technology, gaining very little.

Now the relationship between the two parties has solidified, and Shan Jia's thoughts became more active.

He knew that the Frog Tribe developed so rapidly mainly because they learned many technologies from the Vine Tribe, and the Stinging Fly Tribe and Giant Claw Tribe were the same.

Solving food issues was also one of the important reasons why the Mountain Turtle Tribe wanted to become the Vine Tribe's subordinate tribe.

Jiang Xuan readily agreed: "Of course you can. I'll select two people from both the planting team and the breeding team to specifically go to your Mountain Turtle Tribe to pass on the technology."

Shan Jia was overjoyed: "That's really excellent, thank you, Leader Xuan."

Jiang Xuan said with a smile: "No need to be so polite, it's reciprocal learning. Come, I'll take you to the inn in the trading area for some drinks and meat."

The two of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and headed to the inn in the trading area...

...

Two days later, the Divine Vine sent an avatar to accompany Chi Shao, Jiang Xuan, and others to the Mountain Turtle Tribe.

Upon arrival, after friendly communication, they confirmed the subordinate relationship between the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Vine Tribe.

Subsequently, the Vine God began to sign a Divine Soul Contract with the Turtle God.

"Buzz!"

High above the Mountain Turtle Tribe, a colossal Divine Vine emitted an endless green light, even turning the clouds above the sky green, with powerful life force and vast divine power surging madly.

"Roar!"

In the center of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, a giant turtle as big as a small hill stepped on waves and flew beside the Divine Vine; it is the Totem God of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.

Below, clansmen from both tribes bowed repeatedly, and those huge mountain turtles all lay flat on the ground, trembling along with the surrounding birds and beasts, fish, insects, and worms. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Contract signed!"

The Vine God issued an immense divine sound, akin to thunderous rumblings.

"Whirl..."

Numerous green vine branches wound towards the Turtle God, and the Turtle God looked at the clansmen below before slowly lowering its head.

Mysterious patterns were imprinted on the Turtle God's head, back, and limbs, becoming embedded within.

This is a Divine Soul Contract; once signed, unless the Turtle God dies or a more powerful Totem God than the Vine God breaks the contract, the Turtle God can never betray the Vine Tribe.

Without such a Divine Soul Contract, a subordinate tribe could betray at any time, which poses too much risk.

After a long time, the voice of the Vine God once again echoed in the sky: "Contract complete!"

All the vines wrapped around the Turtle God quickly retracted, and the Divine Vine returned to the size of ordinary vines, descending towards the ground.

"Whirl..."

The Turtle God stepped on waves and returned to the small lake in the center of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.

Below, the expressions of the Mountain Turtle Tribe's clansmen were very complex; on one hand, they could gain various benefits from the Vine Tribe in the future, even having a chance to return to the central region, enhancing the tribe's security.

However, on the other hand, becoming a subordinate tribe means losing some autonomy and freedom, which is the necessary price to pay.

"Boom!"

Six strong warriors carried a polished giant stone and erected it on the open space in front of the Mountain Turtle Tribe's residential area.

The witch of the Mountain Turtle Tribe leaning on a cane bent down toward Chi Shao: "Witch of the Vine Tribe, please!"

Chi Shao nodded, then walked to the giant stone, took out a beast hair brush and prepared paint, and started drawing the Vine Tribe's totem pattern.

Having done this countless times before, soon a huge green totem pattern appeared on the giant stone.

This is a symbol of the Vine Tribe, a declaration of sovereignty, and holds significant meaning.

Chi Shao turned to face everyone and loudly announced: "From now on, the Mountain Turtle Tribe will be under the protection of the Vine Tribe. Anyone attacking the Mountain Turtle Tribe is tantamount to attacking our Vine Tribe!"

After the announcement, the ceremony was complete. Regardless of those willing or unwilling, they had no choice but to accept this reality.

After the ceremony, Jiang Xuan immediately fulfilled his promise, leaving two planting team warriors and two breeding team warriors, both rich in experience, at the Mountain Turtle Tribe.

They will reside within the Mountain Turtle Tribe for a long time until they have taught the Mountain Turtle Tribe how to plant and breed.

...

Year eight of the Mang Tribe, April fifth.

Jiang Xuan and Mai Dong once again rode Tang Yuan to the ruins of the Rock Sheep Tribe.

The Wax Tree Forest, which should have been lush, was now withered, and as the wind blew, dust and fallen leaves flew all over the sky.

As a former clansman of the Rock Sheep Tribe and the current Insect Wax Workshop Master, Mai Dong couldn't help but feel sorrowful when he saw this situation, his eyes turning moist.

The place where the Rock Sheep Tribe lived was originally quite arid, and after the Great Rift Valley spread here, the drought worsened greatly, with many areas even beginning to desertify.

At this time, it should have been the day for wax worms to hatch; in previous years, Jiang Xuan and Mai Dong would come to make some insect bags, placing collected insect eggs in them, then settle them in areas with more leaves to improve the survival rate of young wax worms.

But now, even the wax trees have withered, how could the wax worms survive?

Mai Dong knelt down, grabbed a handful of dry soil, and looking at the withered Wax Tree Forest, said sorrowfully: "This Wax Tree Forest is finished..."

Jiang Xuan patted Mai Dong's shoulder, saying: "Do not be sad. Though this Wax Tree Forest has dried up, the wax trees we transplanted near the tribe are still there, and those wax worms are also surviving, even reproducing more than they did here. They haven't disappeared; they've just moved to a different place to grow."

Mai Dong nodded, stood up again, walked around the Wax Tree Forest, and looked at the ruins of the former Rock Sheep Tribe where he once lived. He knew that in the future, he probably wouldn't come here frequently anymore.

The decimation of the Wax Tree Forest also signifies the complete disappearance of the former Rock Sheep Tribe, with everything buried in the past, buried in this yellow earth and dust.
