This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 75 - 70: Narrow Road for Enemies

In the Giant Mushroom Forest, a team of seventy to eighty people was advancing slowly.

After entering the Giant Mushroom Forest, the two mountain tortoises, which were as large as hills, moved to the front, one after the other.

The mountain tortoises didn’t walk in a straight line; they zigzagged, accurately avoiding the deadly giant mushrooms.

Thanks to the mountain tortoises’ presence, this team traveled far into the Giant Mushroom Forest without anyone getting attacked or poisoned.

Outside the Giant Mushroom Forest, on a large tree, Jiang Xuan observed in amazement.

"I’ve heard that some tribes tame very powerful battle pets, which usually belong to the same species as the tribe’s Totem God."

"Those two giant mountain tortoises must be the battle pets of this tribe. Could their Totem God be an old mountain tortoise?"

The more Jiang Xuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed, especially since the three people leading the group wore thick tortoise shells on their backs.

Even the dark green totem patterns on their faces, observed from afar by Jiang Xuan, looked remarkably like mountain tortoises.

"It seems this tribe is very familiar with the Giant Mushroom Forest. I wonder what they are able to obtain from it."

Jiang Xuan was very curious about this; would they, as the Vine Tribe warriors had discussed previously, transport some giant mushrooms back to eat?

While Jiang Xuan observed and speculated, suddenly, he vaguely heard a buzzing sound.

This sound had once been like a nightmare, lingering in his mind, refusing to go away.

For this reason, he was very sensitive to this sound.

"Bird-beaked mosquitoes, Mosquito Tribe!"

Jiang Xuan’s gaze instantly became sharp; he hadn’t forgotten the time when he was pushed to the brink by the Mosquito Tribe.

If it weren’t for the intervention of the Divine Vine and the giant dragonfly, the Vine Tribe might have ceased to exist.

Guided by the sound, Jiang Xuan searched for a while. With his extraordinary eyesight, he soon discovered a bird-beaked mosquito flying back and forth outside the Mushroom Forest.

The position of this bird-beaked mosquito was exactly the spot where the people leading the mountain tortoises had entered the Mushroom Forest.

Shortly after, more bird-beaked mosquitoes appeared, their powerful wing vibrations penetrating deeply, causing irritation upon hearing.

Soon after, over a hundred warriors from the Mosquito Tribe emerged. They gathered together stealthily, peering into the Mushroom Forest, their intentions unclear.

"What a tangled fate!"

Jiang Xuan watched the bird-beaked mosquitoes and Mosquito Tribe warriors, his eyes becoming very cold.

He knew clearly that with the few people he had, a direct confrontation with the Mosquito Tribe would be like an old man hanging himself — courting death.

"It seems the Mosquito Tribe people are also after the Mushroom Forest, or perhaps they’re tracking the people with the mountain tortoises."

"Just what is there in this place that is worth so many people taking risks?"

Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Regardless of their purpose, we cannot allow the Mosquito Tribe to easily obtain what they want!"

Fortunately, the Mosquito Tribe and the people with the mountain tortoises were out in the open, while Jiang Xuan and the Vine Tribe warriors were hidden. Direct conflict might not be feasible, but causing them some trouble secretly would be easy.

As Jiang Xuan contemplated how to create trouble for the Mosquito Tribe people, he continued his observation.

He noticed that the Mosquito Tribe people lurked outside the Mushroom Forest for quite a while but didn’t dare to enter directly, eventually choosing to hide on the periphery, possibly to lie in wait for them.

Jiang Xuan thought for a while and quickly climbed down from the tree.

Once back on the ground, Jiang Xuan gestured, calling over eight warriors, and whispered, "The Mosquito Tribe people are here!"

This simple sentence caused the Vine Tribe warriors to tense up, except for Jing Jie, who appeared somewhat perplexed, as he hadn’t encountered the Mosquito Tribe before.

Shi Qiu gripped his bow and arrows tighter and asked, "Chief, should we fight?"

Jiang Xuan shook his head, saying, "I made a rough count — they have over a hundred warriors and dozens of bird-beaked mosquitoes. We can’t fight with such a few of us."

"Then what should we do?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Xuan, waiting for him to decide.

Jiang Xuan said, "I saw a group of people on the tree earlier who followed two giant mountain tortoises into the Mushroom Forest. The Mosquito Tribe people must be tracking them."

"Now, the Mosquito Tribe people are hiding outside the Mushroom Forest, clearly intending to ambush those with the mountain tortoises."

"As the saying goes, ’The enemy of my enemy is my friend.’ Let’s sneak over now and find an opportunity to help those with the mountain tortoises."

"Follow me, and tread lightly."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and, gripping his Bone Spear, led the way ahead.

Shi Qiu, Jing Jie, and others immediately followed, advancing cautiously, trying not to make any noise.

Soon, they succeeded in reaching the side of the Mosquito Tribe’s hiding spot, concealed within the dense shrubbery.

In front of them lay the Mosquito Tribe’s hiding place; to the right was the Mushroom Forest, and to the left was dense jungle, ensuring ease of movement in any direction.

Jiang Xuan searched the Mosquito Tribe warriors’ hiding place with his gaze, quickly spotting several bird-beaked mosquitoes perched on the trees.

These bird-beaked mosquitoes liked to hide in shadows when not flying, making them quite hard to spot without close observation.

"Get up in the trees, be cautious."

Jiang Xuan climbed onto a large tree again, followed closely by the others.

The reason for choosing the trees was because there were numerous plants in the jungle, resulting in poor vision on the ground, while the trees offered good view and made it easy to hide and attack distant targets.

Jiang Xuan sat on the fork of a thick branch, continuing to observe the Mosquito Tribe people.

A faint mushroom fragrance wafted from afar, quite pleasant, though after smelling for long, made one’s stomach feel hungry.

Jiang Xuan took out a piece of dried meat and began chewing slowly.

This jerky, preserved with salt, easily satisfied hunger and replenished salt intake, making it an essential dry food for the Vine Tribe’s Hunting Team when venturing out.

"Huh, is that... a wasp nest?"

Suddenly, Jiang Xuan noticed a very large wasp nest growing at the top of a large tree in the forest where the Mosquito Tribe warriors were hiding.

This wasp nest perched on a tree fork, brownish-yellow overall, and its surface appeared with overlapping scale-like markings, nearly as large as a small house.

A thick hole was at the base of the wasp nest, with two giant wasps crawling around the entrance, sometimes flying around, similar to two guarding warriors.

These giant wasps had golden-yellow heads, their bodies with rings of black markings, measuring over half a meter long, their tails equipped with terrifying black stingers.

Jiang Xuan focused on the wasp nest and the intermittently flying giant wasps, considering the Mosquito Tribe warriors hiding in that patch of forest, and suddenly had an idea.

Jiang Xuan beckoned Shi Qiu over, pointed to the giant wasp nest, and whispered, "That large wasp nest, can you shoot it with your arrows?"

The wasp nest was a large target and not too far; Shi Qiu nodded, saying, "No problem."

"Good, find the most suitable position for shooting. Wait for my signal to shoot, and pierce that wasp nest for me!"

Shi Qiu said, "I can shoot accurately, but the wasp nest is too large, and the arrows too small. Even if they hit, they’ll likely have little effect on the nest."

"Makes sense."

Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Wait here for me a bit."

After speaking, Jiang Xuan quietly climbed down from the tree and entered the forest.

Shortly, Jiang Xuan reappeared, climbed back up the tree, and arrived at Shi Qiu’s side, pulling out a small pottery jar from the Beast Hide Bag.

"Soak the arrowheads in the pottery jar now."

Jiang Xuan opened the jar’s lid, and an unpleasant stink immediately spread.

"Is this, Stinky Grass?" Shi Qiu asked, wide-eyed.

"Not just that, I’ve added several strong-smelling herbs inside too. It’s guaranteed to be stimulating."

"Consider this: after soaking the arrowheads in this liquid, if they pierce the wasp nest, those giant wasps smelling such an overpowering scent, wouldn’t they go berserk?"

Shi Qiu glanced at the pottery jar, then at the wasp nest, shivering instinctively.

This thing might anger the entire swarm of giant wasps.

Shi Qiu then considered the Mosquito Tribe warriors under the wasp nest, finally understanding Jiang Xuan’s plan.

It must be said, this plan was incredibly cunning, but dealing with the Mosquito Tribe, Shi Qiu found it justified.

He promptly soaked the arrowheads of ten feathered arrows in the jar, allowing that intense scent to fully permeate the arrowheads.

Next, it was time to patiently await their chance.
