After dealing with the Mantis Tribe, winter had quietly descended.
After the heavy snow sealed the mountains, the Vine Tribe, like every winter before, continued their efforts as ordinary tribesmen crafted various tools while the warriors fished and hunted during the winter to provide more food for the tribe.
It's worth mentioning that because food was relatively abundant, Jiang Xuan selected some skilled wanderers outside the Vine Wall to join the Vine Tribe to polish stone tools, craft weapons, and sew beast hide clothing for the tribe.
As for those wanderers without skills, Jiang Xuan left them a means of survival by having them work for the Vine Tribe.
Polishing stone tools and beast bone tools is a very time-consuming task, and to make enough tools for the entire tribe requires a significant investment of time.
