Chapter 320: Chapter 193: Chi Shao Awakens, Successfully Breaks Through
After returning to the Vine Tribe, Jiang Xuan, following the Vine God’s instruction, placed Chi Shao on the altar.
Chi Shao still showed no signs of life, but the good news was that on the way back, her body did not exhibit any changes.
“Sister, you’re too tired, have a good sleep here, I’ll take care of the tribe.”
Jiang Xuan held Chi Shao’s cold hand, gazing at her for a long ti before reluctantly stepping down from the altar.
Once he and Gou Teng left the altar, many verdant vines erged from the ground, climbing up the altar and wrapping around Chi Shao layer by layer, resembling a green cocoon.
Jiang Xuan eagerly anticipated Chi Shao’s early return from the cocoon.
After leaving the altar, Jiang Xuan headed to the Vine Tribe’s warehouse.
Frog Tribe leader Huo ng stood before the towering warehouse of the Vine Tribe, peering through the door at the heaps of food and other supplies inside, feeling quite envious.
This ti, destroying the Fierce Bird Tribe, the Frog Tribe played a minor role since their warriors were too few, only a few dozen went.
Nonetheless, Jiang Xuan decided to share so of the spoils with them.
One mustn’t be too stingy with subordinate tribes, or they won’t wholeheartedly carry out tasks for the Vine Tribe in the future.
“Chief Huo ng, thank you for waiting.”
Adjusting his mood, Jiang Xuan greeted Huo ng with a smile.
“No, no, Chief Xuan, is your Witch okay?”
Whether it was witnessing the Vine Tribe’s strength or Jiang Xuan breaking through to beco a Five-Color Warrior, Huo ng appeared more reserved before Jiang Xuan than before.
“With the Vine God, all is well.”
“That’s good, that’s good…”
Jiang Xuan continued, “Your Frog Tribe fought bravely this ti, so I’ve decided to allocate a portion of the spoils to your Frog Tribe. I’ve had everything prepared.”
“Thank you, Chief Xuan.”
An expression of surprise appeared on Huo ng’s face, he hadn’t expected the Vine Tribe to share the spoils, because the so-called “brave combat” was rely following behind and shooting blow darts, joining others in throwing spears.
“Follow .”
Jiang Xuan led Huo ng into the warehouse and found Dong Kui, responsible for counting the spoils.
“Dong Kui, have the Frog Tribe’s share of the spoils been set aside?”
“Chief, it’s set aside.”
Dong Kui pointed to two piles of spoils nearby: “They are all here.”
Among these piles, one was food, and the other consisted of weapons, tools, and other items seized, amounting to a significant quantity.
Jiang Xuan nodded: “Chief Huo ng, find soone to carry these spoils back.”
Seeing the two piles of spoils, Huo ng rejoiced greatly: “Thank you, Chief Xuan, I’ll go find people now.”
Huo ng swiftly returned to the Frog Tribe, called upon ten warriors, then went back to the Vine Tribe’s warehouse, making several trips to carry back all the allocated spoils.
Before going to battle, the Frog Tribe people were actually unwilling, but once these spoils were carried back, they were instantly elated.
Their resistance to being a subordinate tribe and needing to help the Vine Tribe fight diminished greatly, with many even beginning to look forward to the next battle.
Only benefits can solidify the relations between a sovereign tribe and its subordinate tribes.
…
After eliminating the Fierce Bird Tribe, the Vine Tribe beca even more renowned around the Great Swamp, the most noticeable change being the increasing number of small tribes coming to trade with the Vine Tribe.
These small tribes could often obtain the goods they needed from the Vine Tribe, and the Vine Tribe could earn various resources through trade.
This was a win-win situation.
With the threat of the Fierce Bird Tribe gone, the Vine Tribe returned to peaceful days, and everything was back on track.
On July 9th, a towering green light appeared atop the Vine Tribe’s altar, the aura of life surging.
Jiang Xuan rushed from the courtyard to the front of the altar at once, nervously and excitedly staring at the altar above.
Many warriors from the Vine Tribe gathered around, roughly guessing what the matter was.
“Buzz…”
The altar reverberated slightly, and then, the vines wrapping around Chi Shao began to retract one by one.
Chi Shao reappeared, still wearing the beast hide clothing from before, her deanor serene as if rely asleep.
“Sister…”
Jiang Xuan ran onto the altar, his tense hands slightly trembling.
In no ti, Chi Shao’s right middle finger twitched, her eyelashes fluttered.
Soon after, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Xuan.
“Xuan…”
Upon hearing Chi Shao’s voice again, Jiang Xuan’s eyes grew moist with excitent.
“Sister, you finally woke up, you scared to death.”
Jiang Xuan held Chi Shao’s hand, this ti, her hand was no longer cold but warm.
Chi Shao smiled gently, then struggled a bit, attempting to sit up.
Jiang Xuan quickly stepped forward to help Chi Shao sit up.
“It’s alright now.”
Chi Shao gently embraced Jiang Xuan, patting his solid back, treasuring this familial bond even more after experiencing life and death.
In a mont, Chi Shao let go of Jiang Xuan and slowly stood up, looking at the Vine Tribe mbers below the altar.
“Witch!”
Before the altar, a warrior shouted excitedly.
“Witch, Witch, Witch…”
Others cheered one after another.
Chi Shao smiled heartily, this was the tribe she protected.
Then, Jiang Xuan escorted Chi Shao off the altar, Chi Shao turned to express her gratitude to the Vine God, and then returned to her courtyard amidst the crowd’s support.
This courtyard Jiang Xuan had been cleaning daily, still looking about the sa as when she left, with the hearth still burning.
“Sister, you must be hungry, let make you sothing tasty.”
Jiang Xuan helped Chi Shao sit down, then imdiately started preparing food.
Considering Chi Shao had been asleep for a long ti, he planned to cook so Red Crystal Rice Porridge in the Pottery Cauldron for her to eat, and once she recovered, stew so at.
While Jiang Xuan busied himself, warriors continually delivered various items, such as high-quality ga, fresh fish, freshly picked fruits, and fresh vegetables.
Jiang Xuan accepted them all, these were tokens from the tribe mbers.
Chi Shao felt even warr seeing all these items.
When Jiang Xuan finished his work and the Red Crystal Rice Porridge in the Pottery Cauldron began to simr, they finally had ti to talk.
“Sister, when you were under witchcraft, you really scared , I thought I’d never see you again.”
Chi Shao replied, “It was indeed dangerous at the ti, but I also benefited from the crisis.”
“Benefited from the crisis?” Jiang Xuan looked at Chi Shao puzzled.
“Indeed, see for yourself.”
Chi Shao got up and walked to the doorway, pointing to a rather short herb in the dicine garden.
A peculiar force flowed from her fingertip onto the herb.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
The herb rapidly grew, eventually blooming and bearing fruit within a short ti.
Jiang Xuan watched in amazent: “Sister, have you broken through?”
Chi Shao nodded with a smile, saying, “Indeed, I was in the Minor Witch realm before, after breaking through, I beca a Middle Witch, stronger than before.”
“What’s going on?”
Walking back inside, Chi Shao began explaining to Jiang Xuan, “I am the Witch of the Vine Tribe, my power cos from the Vine God, so I possess so of the Vine God’s abilities.”
“Vines need to experience rooting, germination, branching and spreading leaves, flowering and fruiting, then with the arrival of winter, the process where branches and leaves wither.”
“I have never gone through these, hence I couldn’t break through.”
“Until when attacking the Fierce Bird Tribe, I was hit by powerful witchcraft, life’s vitality within was destroyed like the winter vine, leaves fall, branches wither.”
“But as long as the roots remain, after enduring the winter, it becos stronger. Understand?”
Jiang Xuan roughly understood, interpreting it as, if Chi Shao didn’t undergo a life and death crisis, she might have stayed at the Minor Witch realm unable to break through.
In other words, this life and death crisis was actually a rare opportunity for her.
