Jiang Xuan brought Feng Chao back to the Vine Tribe and led her to Chi Shao’s house.
Subsequently, he gathered Gou Teng, Shi Qiu, and Nan Xing, but did not summon the other leaders.
In the house, Feng Chao stood by the fire pit, her head slightly lowered, sowhat nervous.
Jiang Xuan first explained Feng Chao’s thod of using food to bribe wanderers, letting everyone understand the situation clearly.
Then, he solemnly said, "Intelligence is very important to a tribe. If we can grasp the various conditions and movents of hostile tribes, we can take the initiative and seize the advantage."
"Therefore, I have decided to form a brand new team, nad Thorny Vine, specifically responsible for gathering intelligence for the tribe."
"The leader of Thorny Vine will be Feng Chao."
"Because Thorny Vine’s missions are quite special, we cannot announce this publicly. Other than the five of us, no one else should know."
"So, Feng Chao, I’m afraid you will have to endure this for now."
After saying this, Jiang Xuan looked at Feng Chao with apologetic eyes.
To be a leader in the tribe is usually a matter of great honor, but now she must conceal her position and cannot openly have the sa status as other leaders, which is truly unfair to her.
Feng Chao shook her head and said, "Leader, I am not wronged."
Jiang Xuan added, "Feng Chao, the mbers of Thorny Vine will be selected by you. Whether they are ordinary tribespeople or warriors in the tribe, or tribespeople from outside, as long as you choose them, and they are willing to join, they can be included in Thorny Vine."
The work of gathering intelligence has always been clandestine, and various thods will inevitably be used, so Jiang Xuan gave Feng Chao the authority to choose her people.
"Gou Teng, Shi Qiu, Nan Xing."
"As long as it does not harm the tribe’s interests, you may provide Thorny Vine with so convenience if necessary."
"Yes, Leader."
The three agreed one after another.
"Alright, Feng Chao, all I can give you for now is this much. What Thorny Vine can develop into depends entirely on you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, perhaps needing food or other supplies, co directly to ."
"Thank you, Leader."
After the brief eting concluded, Gou Teng and the others left, and Feng Chao went off confidently to assemble Thorny Vine.
In the room, only Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao remained.
After a mont of silence, Chi Shao said, "Letting Feng Chao randomly select people from within and outside the tribe, isn’t that a bit rash?"
Jiang Xuan looked up and said, "Sister, are you worried about loyalty issues?"
Chi Shao nodded slightly.
"Thorny Vine is different from any other team we currently have; it is engaged in the work of intelligence gathering, which is very important and complex, requiring the use of all available resources or people."
Jiang Xuan patiently explained, "Just like Feng Chao bribing those wanderers, those wanderers are indeed weak, but they have a special advantage in intelligence gathering that our tribe mbers do not possess."
"Therefore, I let Feng Chao choose her people and even gave her so power to use benefits to entice outsiders to work for us."
After listening, Chi Shao sighed softly after a while and said, "Xuan, sotis I find it increasingly difficult to understand you."
Jiang Xuan said, "Sister, trust , whatever I do, it is surely for the good of the tribe."
Chi Shao nodded, throwing away the ssy thoughts in her mind.
...
Southern Wilderness, Mountain Turtle Tribe.
"Gah gah gah..."
A flock of fierce birds ran past from the distant forest, and the leader of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, Shan Jia, sat on the back of a giant turtle, full of worry.
"Leader, the Fierce Bird Tribe is becoming more and more excessive. We’re almost losing all our hunting grounds; if it continues like this, we might all starve to death."
Beside the giant turtle, a warrior complained to Shan Jia; they had no more room to retreat.
Shan Jia took a deep breath and exhaled long, trying to ease the anxiety in his heart.
"Stop the nonsense and go hunting first."
Although the hunting grounds in the forest were being seized, the Mountain Turtle Tribe still relied on the nurous mountain turtles for hunting in the Great Swamp, barely sustaining themselves.
"Splash..."
One by one, the giant turtles entered the water, carrying the Mountain Turtle Tribe’s warriors into the Great Swamp.
The Great Swamp is the Mountain Turtle Tribe’s last hunting ground; the Fierce Bird Tribe cannot enter.
However, by relying on the Great Swamp, the Mountain Turtle Tribe can only barely fill their stomachs; living like before is out of the question.
Moreover, nearly all of the nearby small tribes have been wiped out by the Fierce Bird Tribe. Except for the Vine Tribe, there are no other tribes to trade with, making their days extrely difficult.
On June 10th, the Fierce Bird Tribe attempted to enter the Mushroom Forest once more.
They started from the outskirts, using tools such as arrows, spears, and stone knives, destroying one giant mushroom after another, preventing those with offensive capabilities from attacking them.
"Gah gah gah..."
A large group of fierce birds ran along the outskirts of the Mushroom Forest. When they found a giant mushroom without offensive capabilities, they rushed forward and pecked it apart.
"Kill those useless poisonous mushrooms, and pick all the other mushrooms for !"
The witch of the Fierce Bird Tribe, a man in his thirties, with various feathers stuck in his hair and wearing clothes made of feathers, rode on a fierce bird, responsible for directing operations outside.
This spring, they discovered this Mushroom Forest and intended to claim it for themselves.
