This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 522 - 326: Drawing Pie
Capítulo 522: Chapter 326: Drawing Pie
After the Ape Tribe submitted, the Vine God planted a seed within the Ape God to prevent future betrayal.
With Chi Shao absent, Jiang Xuan had to act on his own, using paint to draw the Vine Tribe’s totem pattern on a huge stone in front of the Vine Tribe’s residential area.
From then on, the Ape Tribe became another subsidiary tribe of the Vine Tribe.
“Starting today, both the Ape Tribe and the Rat Tribe are subsidiary tribes of our Vine Tribe. There shall be no more wars between us, nor intentional provocations, understand?”
In the Ape Tribe residential area, Hui Shu sat with the Ape Tribe leader, and both reluctantly nodded, their expressions very complex.
Even though they were extremely unwilling, they had now submitted to the Vine Tribe, and Jiang Xuan’s words represented the will of the Vine Tribe, which they could not ignore.
“I know there have been grudges between you, but given the complexity of the situation in the Central Land now, only cooperation can ensure better survival. Infighting will lead to quick demise and allow other tribes to take advantage.”
Hui Shu and the Ape Tribe leader remained silent, clearly not absorbing Jiang Xuan’s reasonable words.
Jiang Xuan glanced at both of them, naturally knowing what they were thinking.
“The reason you’ve been fighting is mainly because of the scarcity of food and resources. Once the Vine Tribe’s trading team arrives here, they’ll prioritize supplying you.”
Upon hearing this, the Ape Tribe leader finally raised his head and cautiously asked, “Leader Xuan, will the Vine Tribe’s trading team really come? Do you have salt and pottery?”
To the Ape Tribe leader, salt and pottery seemed excellent trading items.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, “Salt and pottery are just basic commodities. Look at this.”
Jiang Xuan drew out a bronze knife and placed it in front of the Ape Tribe leader.
The bronze knife was newly forged, entirely golden, shining brilliantly under the hearth’s firelight, very beautiful.
“What a beautiful knife!”
The Ape Tribe leader widened his eyes, having never seen such a beautiful knife, more dazzling than even polished stone knives made from gemstones.
At the side, Hui Shu glanced at the Ape Tribe leader with a look of disdain, feeling an unexplained sense of pride because he also possessed a bronze knife, albeit duller due to longer use.
“Can I… can I touch it?” The Ape Tribe leader was very excited.
“Of course.”
Jiang Xuan generously handed him the bronze knife.
“It’s so beautiful.”
The Ape Tribe leader gingerly took the bronze knife, repeatedly examining it, simply unable to put it down.
“Do you like it?”
“Li… like it.”
Jiang Xuan, magnanimously, waved his hand, “If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”
“Is this… is this real?”
“Of course, it’s just a knife; our Vine Tribe has plenty.”
“Thank you, Leader Xuan, thank you…”
The Ape Tribe leader held the knife with delight, scratching his ears and cheeks as if a monkey had turned into a spirit.
At the side, Hui Shu again curled his lip and simultaneously pressed the bronze knife hidden at his waist.
The Rat Tribe naturally exercised caution; even in such a situation, he did not show off his bronze knife, often wrapping it in beast hide and keeping it secure beneath his clothing.
Subsequently, Jiang Xuan had a pleasant chat with the two about the tribe’s development and future, painting several big promises to ignite their fighting spirit.
During this process, Jiang Xuan inadvertently flaunted the items he had.
The abundance of fine items he possessed, from beast hide clothing to the bronze weapons in hand, and even the beast tooth necklace, belt, and beast hide backpack, were styles the Ape Tribe leader and Hui Shu hadn’t seen before.
The people in the tribe were relatively simple, having been exposed to fewer people and fooled less frequently. Coupled with seeing so many fine items, they naturally imagined the Vine Tribe as a super prosperous tribe and swallowed the promises Jiang Xuan painted.
Confronted with enough profit, the Ape Tribe and Rat Tribe finally decided to set aside their prejudices temporarily, following in the Vine Tribe’s footsteps, and claim their place on this Central Land.
The issues with the Ape Tribe were resolved, but issues with the Rat Tribe remained, so after gifting some fine items to the Ape Tribe’s leader and Witch, Jiang Xuan took Hui Shu, riding Tang Yuan back to the Rat Tribe.
Accompanying them on their return was the recently awe-inspiring Vine God.
As they returned, it transformed back into a tiny vine, like a weed, lying harmlessly on Tang Yuan’s head.
“Yi-er…”
Tang Yuan spread its wings, circled in the sky for a few loops, and then flew towards the Rat Tribe.
Upon returning to the Rat Tribe, Jiang Xuan began dealing with the tribe’s issues.
The primary problem of the Rat Tribe was leaderlessness and scattered hearts.
Without a true Totem God or a Witch to act as a spiritual leader, the tribe only gathered together to survive, effectively a disorganized crowd.
Hui Shu, although possessing the strength of a Five-Color Warrior, had no experience managing a tribe and couldn’t handle slightly complex issues.
Thus, the first task was to find a spiritual leader and competent manager for the Rat Tribe to truly unify everyone.
This candidate could not be found within the Rat Tribe, so Jiang Xuan directly asked the Vine God to communicate with Chi Shao from afar, allowing her to select a capable Witch Doctor to be trained and sent to the Rat Tribe to act as their Witch.
After training, this person would set out with the fleet, heading down the Feiyu River, directly to the Crocodile Tribe, and then Jiang Xuan would ride Tang Yuan to bring them to the Rat Tribe.
Over at the Vine Tribe, upon receiving the news, Chi Shao immediately selected a trustworthy and capable Witch Doctor, giving her short-term training to qualify for the position of Witch.
This matter required time and could not be rushed, thus after instructing Chi Shao through the Vine God, Jiang Xuan temporarily set this matter aside.
The Rat Tribe urgently needed to resolve their second major issue, the most pressing one, which was the matter of food.
It’s important to know, the Rat Tribe’s constant stealing from others was due to their overall weakness, finding hunting and gathering insufficient to sustain themselves, thus resorting to their innate talent for stealing food and resources.
Such behavior resulted in the Rat Tribe being universally hated in the Central Land, with nearby tribes even wanting to annihilate the Rat Tribe to avoid expending much effort defending against thieves.
Within the wooden house, Jiang Xuan introduced the two warriors he brought with him to Hui Shu, saying:
“To have enough food, you have to manage on your own; relying on stealing isn’t viable. This time, I’ve specifically brought a warrior from the Planting Team and a warrior from the Breeding Team. They will teach you how to cultivate crops and vegetables and how to tame various wild beasts.”
“As long as you work hard, combined with our Vine Tribe’s technology and seeds, I assure you, before the next winter arrives, the Rat Tribe won’t lack for food!”
Hui Shu looked at the confident warriors and solemnly said, “As long as it prevents our people from hunger, we’ll do whatever Leader Xuan says.”
“Alright, immediately summon the tribesmen and Demigod Giant Rats, and let’s first start clearing some land!”
Under Jiang Xuan’s guidance, Hui Shu promptly gathered all the able-bodied tribesmen and Demigod Giant Rats.
In other tribes, Jiang Xuan would certainly have them first manufacture Bone Plows, Stone Axes, Stone Sickles, and other tools for land clearing.
But in the Rat Tribe, due to the presence of those giant rats, clearing land became easier.
Jiang Xuan selected a relatively flat and fertile plot of land in the Rat Tribe’s territory, instructing those giant rats to gnaw away all vegetation on the surface and loosen the soil.
Soon, two Demigod Giant Rats led dozens of giant rats in working.
“Click, click…”
Their teeth were incredibly sharp, rapidly cutting down grasses and trees, which the Rat Tribe’s tribesmen then dragged aside.
Thanks to the efforts of two Demigod Giant Rats and dozens of ordinary giant rats, a bare patch of land quickly appeared.
Subsequently, they closely tunneled through the soil, swiftly loosening it, all grass roots, tree roots, stones, and other debris collected by the Rat Tribe’s tribesmen.
Jiang Xuan sighed, “The efficiency of these giant rats in land clearing is phenomenal, at this rate, it won’t be long before the Rat Tribe can engage in large-scale farming!”
Jiang Xuan believed that previously, the Rat Tribe utilizing these giant rats for tunneling to steal from others was a waste of their abilities, using them for land clearing was the most efficient way to maximize benefits.
