Vol 2 Chapter 278 desert invasion

To the northwest of the Teng tribe, the site of the Yanyang tribe. “Ei’er…”

A bird song resounded in the sky, and a huge purple ominous bird fell on the open space of the original residential area of ​​the Yanyang Tribe Ruins.

Jiang Xuan took a soldier down from the back of the dumplings and looked at this familiar and unfamiliar mountain. “Huhu…”

At this time, a gust of wind blew through, and a lot of dust was blown on the ground at the foot of the mountain, and even the wind was dyed khaki.

“There are fewer plants in this place than before.”

Jiang Xuan looked at the many dead plants on the mountain, and felt a little sad in his heart.

The place where the blue sheep tribe is located, because it is relatively close to the Western Wilderness, is itself relatively dry and the plants are relatively sparse.

But now, under the influence of the drought, the few vegetation has died in a large amount, and it looks even more desolate.

The warrior who followed Jiang Xuan was Ophiopogon japonicus, a member of the original Yanyang tribe, who is now responsible for the management of the wax trees and wax worms planted by the Vine tribe, as well as the processing of insect wax by Zhizao.

Ophiopogon swiftly walked to the center of the ruins, and the sight in front of him greatly disappointed him. “The stream has stopped flowing.”

Ophiopogon was in a very bad mood when he looked at the spring that had turned into a small puddle in front of him and the dried up creek.

This mountain spring has always had a relatively large flow of water. After the spring water flows out of the spring, a small stream is formed for the people of the former Yanyang tribe and many blue sheep to drink.

But now, there is no more water coming out of the spring, the stream has dried up directly, and the leaves of the nearby plants have all withered and yellowed, and they are about to die.

Jiang Xuan also walked over. After taking a few glances, he shook his head and said, “Let’s go to the wax forest.”

The wax forest is located in the south of the site of the Yanyang tribe. The original spring water flowed from the spring, flowed through the residential area, and then followed the winding stream into the wax forest, watering the wax trees.

But now that the stream has stopped flowing, can the wax forest still survive?

Jiang Xuan and Ophiopogon swiftly walked to the wax forest, the once lush wax trees are now no longer green, and some of them have even begun to turn yellow.

The wax worms on the tree have only shed their skin once, and it is when they need a lot of food. Now that the wax tree has become like this, the fate of these wax worms can also be predicted.

Jiang Xuan picked a wilted leaf and said, “If it doesn’t rain again, this year’s insect wax production will be greatly reduced.”

Ophiopogon japonicus was even more distressed about the state of those wax trees, but it was too far here, and it was impossible to artificially water them, so they could only grow naturally.

Jiang Xuan patted Ophiopogon on the shoulder and wanted to say something of comfort, but in the end he didn’t say anything, because he knew that these wax trees and wax worms have special feelings for Ophiopogon, which can’t be comforted by a few words.

“Look elsewhere.”

Jiang Xuan took Ophiopogon to leave the wax forest, and continued to fly to the West Wasteland on a glutinous rice ball. After flying for less than half a day, his heart was half cold.

At this time, the Western Wasteland, due to the lack of rain for a long time, has turned more than half of it into a desert, and the expansion of the desert is astonishingly fast.

A gust of wind blew through the sky, and the air was so dry that it made people feel very uncomfortable.

If this continues, it won’t be long before the entire Western Wilderness becomes a desert, and the Vine Tribe not far from the Western Wilderness will definitely be greatly affected.

Jiang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, “The power of nature is too terrifying, it cannot be resisted by manpower.”

Who would have thought that the West Wasteland, which was originally vast and covered by virgin forests, would become what it is today?

Jiang Xuan realized that the Vine tribe must respond as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when the desert really invades the territory of the Veng tribe.

Behind Jiang Xuan, Ophiopogon sat on the back of the dumplings, and he was greatly shocked when he looked down at this land filled with yellow sand from a high altitude.

Compared with the great changes in the Western Wilderness, the rise and fall of the wax forest on the site of the Yanyang tribe is simply insignificant.

At this moment, his mentality has quietly undergone some changes, and the whole person’s vision and mind have been improved.

The glutinous rice **** carried them around in Xihuang.

At this time, the wave of migration has passed, and the entire Western Wasteland has become very desolate. The blazing sunshine, the yellow sand everywhere, and the dead trees everywhere convey a sad atmosphere.

However, there are always exceptions to everything.

Jiang Xuan found that there are several relatively large rivers, and there are still rivers flowing, and the plants on both sides can survive tenaciously.

There are also several places that originally had large lakes, which have formed oases in the desert, and the lush vegetation and the yellow sand form a sharp contrast.

Most of the tribes who stayed in the Western Wilderness lived in these oases.

Because the scope of the oasis is relatively small, and the tribesmen mainly hunt, so a small oasis alone cannot support many people.

When food is increasingly scarce, it is difficult for these small tribes to survive, and even if they can survive, there will not be many people.

“Come on, go back.”

After Jiang Xuan had a general look at the situation in Xihuang, he made the dumplings turn around and return to the Veng tribe.

A day later, Jiang Xuan returned to the Vine tribe, and immediately summoned all the leaders of the Vine tribe to have a meeting in the conference hall.

After everyone arrived, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao sat side by side in the main seat, and then Jiang Xuan began to talk about the ruins of the Yanyang tribe and the changes in the Western Wilderness.

“On the Yanyang Mountain, the spring water has stopped flowing, and the wax trees are about to dry up. I am afraid the production of insect wax this year will be much lower.”

“On the west side, the desert is expanding rapidly on a large scale. If this continues, it will soon invade our side. We must respond as soon as possible.”

Chi Shao asked, “Then how should we deal with it?”

Jiang Xuan said resolutely: “To expand to the Great Swamp, except for the territory of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, other places must be in our hands!”

The Great Swamp is the largest water source on the edge of the Southern Wilderness. It covers a very wide area and is extremely rich in water resources. Even if it is a severe drought, it will not be greatly affected.

Under the threat of desert invasion, such a place will become a treasure land in the future.

Since Jiang Xuan is sitting in the position of the leader of the Vine tribe, he has to be responsible for thousands of people in the tribe, or even more people, and he cannot be soft-hearted or hesitate.

If you don’t fight for territory or expand because of your soft heart, and keep guarding your own three-thirds of an acre of land, there is no guarantee that it will not be destroyed by other stronger tribes in the future, or weakened due to the continuous invasion of the desert.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Jiang Xuan. In the Great Swamp and the surrounding area, Jiang Xuan is bound to win!

In fact, in the past two years, the hunting team of the Vine tribe has begun to open up the hunting route to the big swamp.

Not long ago, Jiang Xuan also led someone to take the Thornflies tribe near the Great Swamp as a subsidiary tribe.

Now, what Jiang Xuan has to do is to expand the planting industry there, and turn the fertile land around the Great Swamp into a big granary for the Veng tribe in the future!

In Jiang Xuan’s proposal, everyone began to discuss, and finally unanimously supported the proposal. Jiang Xuan immediately began to assign tasks:

“Hunting Team 1Hunting Team 2, from today onwards, you are responsible for clearing the obstacles on the road leading to the Great Swamp from the Vine Tribe, whether it is beasts or other threatening things, eradicate them all!”

“Yes!” “Leave it to us!” Uncaria and Loach stood up and took over the task.

“Engineering team, I will arrange five hundred young men for you, and repair the road to the big swamp for me!”

“Yes!” Clay also stood up, his eyes very firm.

“The planting team, I will send the second guard team to provide you with protection. Wherever the road of the engineering team is built, you will open up wasteland and turn all the land suitable for planting into the crops of our vine tribe!”

“Yes!”

Gan Song also stood up, his face a little solemn, because large-scale land reclamation is not an easy task, and this task is very heavy.

Of course, he didn’t back down, his eyes even ignited fighting spirit, he hopes that one day, the surrounding area of ​​the vast swamp can be turned into a vine tribe planting area!

“The breeding team, you will expand with the planting team to raise more livestock for the tribe and ensure the supply of meat!”

“Yes!”

Dajiao’s face was very excited, and he couldn’t wait to build a barn and a barn.

“The other teams are responsible for logistical support. All the materials needed by the hunting team, engineering team and planting team to open up new territories must be supplied!”

“Okay, let’s go to work!”

Jiang Xuan waved his hand, and all the leaders got up and left their seats to perform their respective tasks. Soon, only Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao were left in the spacious conference room.

Chi Shao’s expression was a little dazed, because the development of the Vine Tribe in the past few years was so fast that it was beyond her imagination.

And now, Jiang Xuan has to continue to expand rapidly, which makes it a little difficult for her to adapt. After everyone left, she finally couldn’t help expressing her doubts.

“Xuan, isn’t it better for us to live here and expand to the surrounding area little by little?”

“Sister, I used to think the same way, but now, the environment has changed too fast, and we can’t allow us to expand slowly.”

“Remember how the frog tribe got here? If it wasn’t for the fierce opposition, they would have migrated to the Southern Wilderness at all costs. Now the frog tribe would have been submerged in the yellow sand.”

Jiang Xuan sighed and described to Chi Shao what the frog tribe had seen and learned before.

Afterwards, he also told Chi Shao what he had seen in the Western Wilderness the previous two days, and what he had seen in the middle of the Southern Wilderness.

After saying this, Jiang Xuan said helplessly: “Whether it is the drastic changes in the Western Wilderness or the dangers in the middle of the Southern Wilderness, we must be strong enough to be able to deal with it.”

“The Vine God has become a great god, but the population of our Vine tribe is not even comparable to the powerful medium-sized tribes, let alone those large tribes.”

“Once a crisis comes, what can we do to resist? We can’t always pin our hopes on the Fuji God, right?”

“So, we must take down the Great Swamp and become a real big tribe as soon as possible!” Chi Shao fell into a long silence after hearing this.

Except when the tribe was first established and during the tribal war, Chishao actually stayed in the Vine tribe.

This certainly played a role in stabilizing people’s hearts, but it was also limited to her knowledge.

However, Chishao has an advantage, that is, it listens to people’s persuasion and at the same time completely trusts Jiang Xuan.

“Xuan, I don’t understand some things very well, but I trust you. Since you feel that you must take down the Great Swamp, then we will try our best to take it!”

Jiang Xuan nodded, with a relieved smile on his face, Chishao’s support is still very important to him…
