This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 41 - 39: The Insect Breeder
Chapter 41: Chapter 39: The Insect Breeder
Southern Wilderness, Great Swamp, Mosquito Tribe.
The Mosquito Tribe is a small tribe in the Southern Wilderness, with a population of about five hundred people.
Among them, there are more than eighty warriors above one-color, over two hundred ordinary warriors, and the rest are children and regular tribe members with low or no combat abilities.
The Mosquito Tribe Witch is a skinny old woman, with arms showing little meat, just a layer of skin wrapping around bones.
Her face, arms, and even legs are covered with black totem patterns, and she wears a beast tooth necklace along with numerous bone ornaments, creating a mysterious aura that evokes fear.
On the Witch’s shoulder stands one of the Bird-beaked Mosquitoes that escaped from the Vine Tribe.
She possesses a mysterious ability to directly communicate with Bird-beaked Mosquitoes, obtaining information about events in the Vine Tribe through them. novelbuddy.cσ๓
From the Bird-beaked Mosquito, she received fragmented messages: a tribe, huge dragonflies, vines, and everyone died.
Through these pieces of information, the Witch roughly understood what happened and gathered the important figures in the tribe to discuss what to do next.
After receiving the news, the Witch fed the Bird-beaked Mosquito on her shoulder a small piece of raw meat, showing no apparent joy or anger.
"The Hunting Team led by Hu Wen, all fifty warriors, were killed by an unfamiliar tribe. Everyone, tell me, what should we do?"
The Mosquito Tribe’s Hunting Team consists of five groups, ranging from seventy to eighty members at its largest to only twenty to thirty members at the smallest. Hu Wen led one of these hunting teams.
The Hunting Teams would set out from the tribe’s location as the origin, going in different directions into the jungle and swamp to hunt, providing sufficient meat for the tribe.
Children and women with low strength are responsible for gathering edible plants near the tribe.
Every few years, when the accessible food in the vicinity becomes scarce, they would migrate once to ensure enough food could be obtained from hunting and gathering.
This time, shortly after their recent migration, they encountered the complete annihilation of a hunting team, leaving the Mosquito Tribe very angry.
A Hunting Leader stood up first, shouting angrily: "Find this tribe, kill them all to avenge our people!"
"Exactly, kill them all!"
"Seize all their belongings!"
...
The Mosquito Tribe, who did not have abundant food, had no intent of capturing slaves, knowing they couldn’t sustain them even if brought back. It was better to kill them and take useful resources.
Unless the tribe faced a catastrophe and many people died, they would resort to seizing women and children from other tribes to replenish their population.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Suddenly, the tribe’s leader hollered, subduing the voices of others.
The four leaders greatly revered the tribe’s leader, quickly quietening and sitting back down.
The Mosquito Tribe leader was relatively tall and fierce, with four horizontal stripes on his face, symbolizing him as a mighty Four-Color Warrior.
A Four-Color Warrior means he can hunt giant-toothed tigers alone, possessing extremely formidable combat power.
As for the Five-Color Warriors who could hunt Barbarian Bears alone, it was nearly impossible for them to appear in small tribes, occurring at least in medium-sized tribes.
After suppressing the others, the Mosquito Tribe leader lowered his voice and looked at the Witch.
"Witch, since this unfamiliar tribe could completely wipe out the Hunting Team led by Hu Wen, even only allowing three Bird-beaked Mosquitoes to return, it indicates their considerable strength."
In fact, it’s not just considerable; the leader of the Mosquito Tribe wanted to say that this tribe is very strong, at least not weaker than the Mosquito Tribe.
Hu Wen was a Three-Color Warrior, and Bird-beaked Mosquito’s flying speed is extremely fast, with regular birds unable to catch up.
But Hu Wen died, and most Bird-beaked Mosquitoes were killed, making it evident how strong this unfamiliar tribe is.
The Witch nodded and said: "The leader is right."
The Mosquito Tribe’s leader continued: "If we rashly attack this tribe, even if we can seize it, we would lose many warriors. What would we do if other tribes attack us afterward?"
With these words, the four leaders immediately shut their mouths even tighter.
They weren’t fools, as real fools don’t survive long in dangerous jungles.
Previously overwhelmed with hot-blood, calling for revenge, now clear-headed, they immediately realized how foolish their previous statements were.
In the Great Swamp vicinity, there’s not only the Mosquito Tribe.
Around the Mosquito Tribe, there are at least two tribes not weaker than them, not particularly far apart, occasionally encountered during hunting, with minor clashes occurring.
Once again, the Witch nodded, saying: "What the leader says is exactly what I’m concerned about. Our tribe recently migrated here, and our understanding of this place is inferior to other tribes. Starting a war rashly would be a big disadvantage."
"Witch, are we just going to let it go?" a leader asked quietly, sounding very reluctant.
"Of course, we can’t just let it go!"
The Mosquito Tribe leader said: "But first, we need to understand the situation of that tribe. Once we establish ourselves here, we’ll look for a chance for revenge!"
"The leader is absolutely right." The Witch agreed with the leader’s words.
With the Witch and leader unified in opinion, the matter was essentially settled, and others had no choice but to agree.
However, this matter is far from over.
Once one day the Mosquito Tribe discovers the truth of the Vine Tribe, they will surely attack to avenge Hu Wen and others.
