I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

The shaman secretly glanced at the Great Deer Shaman and saw that he, just like himself, had a face full of surprise. He muttered a few words to himself.

The green mantises continued their advance, followed by the people of the Yingcao tribe. They controlled their tribe's exotic plants, digging their roots deep into the soil and excavating all the roots of the original vegetation that had grown there.

The Great Deer Shaman sat high on the back of the Great Deer, his eyes shining as he watched the bustling scene before him. He felt that he could successfully complete the task of cultivating the land this year without having to wait until spring.

He waved to his people: "Fellow tribesmen! Hurry up! Plow these lands several more times!"

However, looking at the land turned over by the alien plants, he felt that his tribe didn't need to take action anymore.

The Yingcao tribe not only possesses many amazing exotic plants, but they are also more skilled at cultivation than the Great Horned Deer tribe.

This won't do. In the Jiang tribe, if you become useless, you will be left behind immediately. The Great Horned Deer Witch has always had a deep sense of crisis about this.

Fortunately, the giant deer not only plays a role in the planting area, but is also indispensable in the newly emerging caravans in Jiangbu.

The people of the Yingcao tribe had keen eyes. They selected the thick and sturdy trees, and then the green mantises, wielding their sharp forelimbs, processed these giant trees into smooth logs, which were then transported to their settlement for use.

Jiang's tribe is not short of fuel now, so the remaining useless branches and vines are cut into several sections and spread out on the open ground to be baked by the sun while the sun is strong.

The autumn sun was still very strong, and the withered branches and leaves that were still damp quickly dried out.

The bamboo rats and carp dug out a buffer zone and diverted the Nu River water as a precaution. Finally, all that was needed was a raging fire to burn them to ashes.

The ashes from the fire then become natural fertilizer, nourishing the land and making it more fertile and abundant, allowing the ginger region to produce more crops.

Jiang Ning carefully examined the green mantis. Green mantises were already beautiful, but this one, a king-level ferocious beast, was even more beautiful, like a piece of jade. Its crystal-clear, emerald-like body shimmered faintly in the sunlight, resembling a finely crafted work of art.

"Is there really no other way?" she asked the Green Mantis Witch standing to the side.

The Green Mantis Witch looked sorrowful. She had been chosen as a witch's disciple since childhood and had grown up by the witch's side.

This green mantis has lived for many years. Like the witch, it watched her grow up. To her, this green mantis is not only the tribe's guardian deity, but also like a family member.

Now, she could only watch helplessly as that once majestic figure gradually approached the end of his life, and there was nothing she could do.

"There's nothing we can do, its time has come."

This king bone green mantis was so important to their tribe that they had tried many methods, but unfortunately, none of them worked.

Jiang Ning remained silent. Death is something no one can escape; she would die, and so would her battle pets.

Of her four battle pets, Rock King possesses racial talent and is incredibly powerful, so it must be exceptionally long-lived.

Cliff vine is an exotic plant, and as such, it naturally has a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary plants. As long as it doesn't encounter any formidable enemies, it will certainly live even longer.

The eight-winged cicada, this mysterious insect, will seek out a place with abundant energy, burrow underground to spin a cocoon, and re-emerge when its lifespan is about to end.

Only Baiya, an ordinary Sirius, has a lifespan of only a few decades. The higher the level, the longer the lifespan, but even then, it cannot compare to the other three.

She was determined to make Baiya an ancestral beast!

The system gave Baiya a potion; its talent is not the problem, it just lacks time, energy, and combat experience.

Over the years, Baiya, as her battle pet, has always enjoyed the best treatment in the Jiang tribe. She has no shortage of energy, but she lacks experience.

Jiang Ning immediately made a decision: this time, Bai Ya would go with her to the Otter Tribe. If she always stayed in the Jiang Tribe, when would she ever be able to break through?

"Then let's make a decision as soon as possible, choose a new one, and I'll help it break through."

The gifts that the Fish Tribe sent back then were mostly useless to the Jiang Tribe because the Jiang Tribe's level was too low, so they had to be put aside. Now, it would be a piece of cake to use them to raise a new King Bone Green Mantis.

Moreover, she also has a trading area to continuously gather all kinds of useful resources for Jiang's troops. Jiang's troops are now a rich but needless nouveau riche who doesn't know where to spend his money, yet he doesn't have enough strength to protect himself, making him the target of everyone's covetousness.

Although the Green Mantis Witch was reluctant to see the King Bone Green Mantis leave, upon hearing this, she immediately beamed with joy. Who could refuse a big shot's treat?

"Thank you, Jiang Wu!"

Death is inevitable, and the living must continue to live. She must seize the opportunity to bring forth a new king, the Green Mantis, for the tribe.

The group that went to the seaside returned quickly, bringing not only news from there but also several sea tribes.

Hongfeng reported the news from his subordinates one by one: "The vegetation over there has recovered, and the ferocious beasts have returned to the forest. They are not high level, but they are fine for newly awakened warriors to practice on."

"Are there any other tribes over there?" Jiang Ning asked.

Hongfeng shook his head: "That fire burned for a long time. The tribes that could escape fled, and those that couldn't escape died. No other tribes have migrated there yet."

"very good."

Jiang Ning was very satisfied. There were still many warriors in the Jiang tribe who had not yet grown up and whose strength was relatively low. The ferocious beasts in the Nu River Basin were too dangerous for them. They would be sent to the Tianlang River Basin to train first, as it was more suitable for them at the moment.

Fortunately, she acted quickly; if someone else had taken this spot, she would have had to put in a lot more effort.

"How should we settle the tribes by the sea?" Hongfeng asked.

Several sea tribes also returned with the hunting party this time. They were not very strong, and were small tribes with only one or two thousand people, each with different abilities.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ning decisively said, "Send them all to work. We'll talk about it when they're officially part of the Jiang Department."

This was the Jiang tribe's usual practice in dealing with outsiders, and it wasn't worth asking. The reason Hongfeng asked this question was mainly because this was the first time they had encountered a tribe from the sea.

Hongfeng frowned, his face filled with worry: "What about the Fish Tribe..."

They have already completely clashed with the Tao tribe. If they were to offend the Yu tribe because of these few small tribes, it would be a huge loss and they would be attacked from both sides.

Jiang Ning comforted him, "Don't worry, I already asked Qi Wu. The tribes they value are all far away in the deep sea. These small coastal tribes are too weak to attract their attention."
