This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 94 - 86 Reconstruction

"Crash..."

On the Feiyu River, five bamboo rafts crossed the river together, and the tribesmen on the rafts from the Vine Tribe were feeling extremely excited.

When they once again stepped onto the land on the opposite shore, many felt tears welling up.

"We’ve finally come back!"

Gan Song knelt on the ground, scooping up some soil, feeling a profound sense of reassurance.

"The crops, let’s go see how the crops are doing!"

Gan Song laid down the scoop of soil, then hurriedly ran towards the farmland.

Others couldn’t contain their excitement and began to walk back as well.

When Gan Song rushed into the farmland, he found it wasn’t severely damaged, although plenty of weeds had grown.

Gan Song breathed a sigh of relief, "This is great, the crops are fine, just need to remove the weeds."

With that, Gan Song immediately squatted down and began to pull weeds by hand, very patiently.

By the riverbank, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao were the last to cross. After they crossed, they first dragged the bamboo rafts onto the shore, then headed towards the bamboo forest.

On the way, Jiang Xuan saw Gan Song pulling weeds and smiled. This guy had become a fervent agricultural enthusiast.

He walked a bit further and a plot of land with six plants caught his attention.

"Hmm? The seedlings of the red crystal rice have sprouted!"

Jiang Xuan discovered that the seedlings of the red crystal rice he had planted were already more than a foot tall.

The seedlings looked somewhat like corn, but the stems and leaves were purplish-red, with stout main stems and broad leaves, likely a type of grass family plant.

This was quite a pleasant surprise because earlier Jiang Xuan wasn’t sure which plant bore the red crystal rice fruits.

Seeing its seedlings now, Jiang Xuan felt much more reassured.

The Vine Tribe currently lacks a staple grass species, and if these red crystal rice plants grow successfully and bear fruit, they might become one of the staples of the Vine Tribe in the future.

Jiang Xuan observed for a while longer, then weeded the area around the red crystal rice seedlings before proceeding to the front of the bamboo forest.

More than a hundred people were already gathered in front of the bamboo forest, yet no one spoke loudly, and the atmosphere was very tense.

In front of them lay ruins overgrown with weeds.

Even though they knew beforehand that the Mosquito Tribe had burned down their houses, seeing it firsthand was still hard to accept.

Jiang Xuan’s face turned sombre as he viewed the ruins.

"Mosquito Tribe!"

Jiang Xuan clenched his fists, his heart burning with rage.

Just then, Chi Shao patted Jiang Xuan’s shoulder and said, "Don’t worry about the houses; we hid a lot of things in the underground tunnel."

Upon hearing Chi Shao’s words, Jiang Xuan immediately remembered that they had hidden most of their belongings in an underground tunnel when they left.

Jiang Xuan shouted to the crowd, "Don’t just stand there, find the entrance to the underground tunnel and dig it open to retrieve the items inside."

"Right, our things are still buried underground."

"Quick, check if the food has gone moldy."

...

Jiang Xuan’s shout helped the others regain their senses. They immediately began searching through the ruins for the entrance to the underground tunnel.

Though the houses had been burned to ruins, everyone remembered the tunnel’s location.

Thus, it wasn’t long before someone uncovered the first entrance to an underground tunnel and painstakingly cleared the mud and stones blocking it.

Once the first tunnel was opened, the Vine Tribe Warriors retrieved many tools, pottery, and other items from inside, prompting cheers from the crowd.

The tubers stored inside had only sprouted and were mostly still edible.

Only some food not suited for storage had turned moldy and was inedible when brought out.

This made everyone feel heartache and pity because it was food!

The tribe cherishes food immensely because they often starved in the past, fearing hunger.

More tunnels were opened, and everything inside was moved out.

This included the Large Pottery Cauldron used for cooking, an essential item well hidden.

After moving things out of the tunnels, Jiang Xuan immediately ordered everyone to clean up the ruins and temporarily erect simple shelters on the original site for protection against wind and rain.

Once everything was set up, they would build houses sturdier than before.

While helping to build shelters, Shi Qiu ran over with a worried face, quietly reporting:

"Chief, the Mosquito Tribe damaged the altar, moved away three Large Pottery Cauldrons, and even pushed over the Totem Pole, which is hacked to pieces."

"The Witch seems very sad at the altar..."

Jiang Xuan’s face darkened, "I’ll head there after finishing here, you go busy yourself."

"Okay!"

Shi Qiu responded, then hurriedly left as there was much to do at the moment.

After finishing building a shelter, Jiang Xuan headed into the bamboo forest.

The Mosquito Tribe’s actions were thorough, even the giant stone with the Vine Tribe’s Totem Pattern was defaced beyond recognition.

Step by step, he entered the bamboo forest and found Chi Shao’s bamboo house was burned and his newly made Hydraulic Medicine Grinding Device destroyed.

Jiang Xuan showed no change in his expression, but his fists clenched tighter.

He approached the altar, seeing the empty altar from a distance, the collapsed Totem Pole, and Chi Shao standing motionless in front of the altar like a clay statue.

Jiang Xuan walked up to Chi Shao, following her gaze, seeing the altar’s surface densely covered with knife and axe marks, barely recognizable Totem Patterns.

Jiang Xuan softly asked, "Sister, don’t be too upset, we will restore the altar."

Chi Shao turned her head, her gaze calmer than Jiang Xuan had imagined.

"I’m fine, compared to the despair when the Deer Tribe was wiped out, being able to return here alive is already good, isn’t it?"

Jiang Xuan nodded, "That’s right, being alive is what matters most."

Chi Shao added, "I’ve communicated with the Vine God, it recently broke through and needs time to restore Divine Power."

"Once the Vine God regains full power, it will seek revenge against the Mosquito Tribe!"

"Revenge now?"

Jiang Xuan slightly frowned because the Vine Tribe was too weak; even if all became Tribal Warriors, there would be only about a hundred.

While Jiang Xuan didn’t know the number of the Mosquito Tribe, judging by their current operations, their strength surely surpassed the Vine Tribe’s.

In Jiang Xuan’s view, the current phase should focus on developing agriculture and breeding, securing enough food, expanding population, and only seeking revenge against the Mosquito Tribe when Tribal Warriors’ numbers are sufficient.

Chi Shao seemed to have guessed Jiang Xuan’s thoughts, calmly saying, "By then, the Vine God will accompany us."

Jiang Xuan widened his eyes in surprise, "You mean the Vine God will go with us to seek revenge?"

"Exactly."

Chi Shao confirmed.

From Chi Shao’s words, Jiang Xuan confirmed an incredible fact: after the Vine God’s breakthrough, it could move freely!

This was an astonishing revelation.

Most plants grow in one place and cannot move themselves.

Now, the Divine Vine can move freely, a huge advantage.

If the opposing tribe lacks a living Totem God, under the Divine Vine’s presence, what would they use to fight back?
