This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 102 - 90: The Nighttime Great Swamp

After the trade was completed, Jiang Xuan immediately ate the Luminous Mushroom because Shan Jia reminded him that the fresher the Luminous Mushroom, the better the effect when consumed.

He first tried tearing off a small piece and putting it in his mouth without swallowing, to see if there would be any toxic reactions or other abnormalities.

It’s always right to be a bit cautious.

Although Jiang Xuan felt that all the items to be traded were done, and the Mountain Turtle Tribe had no motive to poison him, he still habitually tested for poison.

After a while, Jiang Xuan didn’t find anything abnormal, and only then did he eat the whole Luminous Mushroom.

Besides glowing, the Luminous Mushroom looked quite ordinary, but it tasted really good, giving Jiang Xuan the feeling of eating crab meat—very fresh, with a hint of sweetness.

"What a pity, it’s a bit too little."

Jiang Xuan smacked his lips, feeling a bit unsatisfied.

Although the taste was good, after eating the Luminous Mushroom, Jiang Xuan’s body didn’t exhibit any obvious changes, which made him a bit uneasy.

Could the Mountain Turtle Tribe be deceiving him?

With this doubt, he consulted Shan Jia.

Shan Jia chuckled, "Xuan leader, don’t worry, you have to digest it first, right?"

"You’re right, I’m being too impatient."

Jiang Xuan laughed awkwardly, noting that only potent medicine could produce immediate effects upon consumption.

Due to the travel during the day and the transaction, it was already late, and since the Vine Tribe was unfamiliar with the Great Swamp, Jiang Xuan and his party decided to stay overnight at the Mountain Turtle Tribe.

The Mountain Turtle Tribe was quite hospitable to their guests, and Shan Jia gladly offered them lodging.

Moreover, the Mountain Turtle Tribe wasn’t afraid of outsiders taking advantage because they had a living Totem God!

It was an old mountain turtle, as large as a small hill, whose exact age was unknown, having outlasted the Totem Gods of nearby tribes.

If not for the presence of this old mountain turtle, the Turtle Tribe wouldn’t be thriving so well.

After nightfall, Jiang Xuan finally noticed his eyesight changing from usual.

In the past, after nightfall, Jiang Xuan relied mainly on moonlight and firelight to see things clearly.

But now it was different. He was surprised to find that without the aid of firelight or moonlight, he could see things in the dark!

If someone were staring into his eyes at this moment, they would notice an extra layer of peculiar transparent membrane over them, and his pupils were much larger than during the day.

"The Luminous Mushroom really works!"

Jiang Xuan felt a little excited because gaining night vision was extremely important—it meant he now had the ability to operate at night.

Jiang Xuan decided that he would try to negotiate for more Luminous Mushrooms with the Mountain Turtle Tribe later, ideally enabling the warriors of the Vine Tribe to all acquire night vision.

At night, Shan Jia found Jiang Xuan again and asked with a smile, "Xuan leader, how’s the effect after eating the Luminous Mushroom?"

Jiang Xuan praised, "It’s truly a great thing!"

"Of course, otherwise, how could I ask for a Beast Horn from a unicorn in exchange?"

Shan Jia added, "Xuan leader, are you interested in joining us on a hunt in the Great Swamp tonight?"

"Tonight?"

"Yes, tonight."

"Wouldn’t it be too dangerous?"

Jiang Xuan hesitated a bit, as this was an unfamiliar environment, and nighttime was the most active time for various predators.

Shan Jia laughed, "Don’t worry, we’ll ride mountain turtles, and we’re not going deep into the Great Swamp."

Shan Jia invited Jiang Xuan because he felt they got along well, considering Jiang Xuan a friend, without any ulterior motives.

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, it would be good to gain some insight, so I’ll have to ask Leader Shan Jia to look after me."

Shan Jia happily patted Jiang Xuan on the shoulder, saying, "Ha ha, no problem, get ready, we’ll set off shortly. Trust me, the Great Swamp at night won’t disappoint you."

After Shan Jia left, Jiang Xuan informed Chi Shao and the others about going out for a hunt.

Chi Shao seemed quite calm about it and just said, "Stick close to Leader Shan Jia."

It’s not that Chi Shao didn’t care about Jiang Xuan’s safety; in fact, she was more concerned than anyone, but she had already sensed the presence of the Mountain Turtle Tribe’s Totem God.

As long as they didn’t stray too far from the Mountain Turtle Tribe, they wouldn’t encounter significant danger.

Gou Teng and the others wanted to go along, but they didn’t have night vision, so going out at night was too dangerous, and they reluctantly gave up.

Jiang Xuan took his weapons and some personal belongings, touched his Spider Silk Clothing, and then boldly walked outside.

At the Mountain Turtle Tribe’s gate, Shan Jia and the others were already prepared. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

When heading to the Mushroom Forest, Shan Jia brought over a hundred warriors, but for this nighttime hunt, he only brought a little over twenty.

Besides the warriors, there were five gigantic mountain turtles, which were the real guarantee for the nighttime hunt.

No one understood the Great Swamp or was as sensitive to danger as these mountain turtles.

When Jiang Xuan arrived, Shan Jia called out, "Let’s go!"

The group of over twenty people, along with five large mountain turtles, promptly departed the tribe, heading for the outside Great Swamp.

The Mountain Turtle Tribe was located on the edge of the Great Swamp, and after leaving the tribe, it wasn’t long before they saw the shimmering Great Swamp under the moonlight.

Shan Jia was the first to climb onto the back of the largest mountain turtle and then said to Jiang Xuan, "Xuan leader, come up."

Following instructions, Jiang Xuan climbed onto the back of the gigantic mountain turtle.

The turtle shell on the back of the giant mountain turtle wasn’t very even, with each section having some ridges, but because these mountain turtles were so large, sitting on them wasn’t uncomfortable.
