This Is My Primitive Tribe - Vol 2 Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Locust Tribe

Locusts are still gnawing on the forest crazily, and swarms of locusts are constantly flying over from the northwest, as if endless.

The warriors of the Vine Tribe, the Mountain Turtle Tribe, and the two affiliated tribes watched the killing of more and more locusts. Their initial enthusiasm had long since disappeared, and despair gradually grew in their hearts.

Even those poultry and giant frogs are obviously resistant to eating locusts, especially those locusts that are highly poisonous after mutation.

“No wonder locust plagues are always associated with famine. This thing is really terrible.”

Standing on the top of a low mountain, Jiang Xuan looked at the gnawed bare forest in front of him, as well as the mutated locusts that showed various bright colors and were extremely aggressive.

It wasn’t until this time that he realized that the locust plague was far more severe than he had imagined. It was simply impossible to extinguish the locust plague by conventional means.

Just when he was hesitating whether to ask the totem god to take action, Fengcao, the leader of the thorns and vines, hurriedly found him and passed an important message to him.

“Boss, our people found a tribe behind these locusts.”

“This tribe is called the Locust Tribe, and their patron saint is a female locust.”

“Our people also discovered that the continuous stream of locusts flew out from the place where this tribe passed by!”

Jiang Xuan said in amazement: “In other words, this locust plague is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster?”

Fengcao nodded and said: “If there is no locust tribe, those locusts should not mutate so fast, and we won’t be completely unstoppable.”

“How is the strength of the locust tribe?”

“It’s hard to say. With the help of this locust plague, the locust tribe is frantically annexing other tribes. Their population is growing almost every day, and their current strength is much stronger than that of ordinary medium-sized tribes.”

“So powerful…”

Jiang Xuan frowned, it seems that this locust tribe is not easy to deal with.

In fact, when he heard that the locust tribe had a female locust as the patron saint, he was still a little excited.

Because a large-scale locust swarm is too difficult to deal with, if the female locust can be caught, the female locust can be used to control the locust swarm and solve the locust disaster.

But if the locust tribe is very powerful, it will be difficult to catch the female locust, and even guard against the locust tribe’s idea of attacking the vine tribe.

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment, and said: “Continue to inquire about the locust tribe’s intelligence, it’s best to find out the situation in detail, and report to me in time if there is any movement.”

“yes!”

Fengcao bowed to Jiang Xuan, then hurriedly turned and left, and soon disappeared.

Jiang Xuan stood in place, a red locust flew over his head, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and accurately caught the flying locust, held it in his hand and observed it repeatedly, as if he wanted to see something from it.

…

Southern Wilderness, Northwest.

Countless locusts hovered in the sky. Among them, some locusts had mutated into super locusts, which were many times larger than ordinary locusts, with a wingspan of more than one meter.

A black and red super locust was lying on top of a corpse, using its chewing mouthparts to eat meat with big mouthfuls, until its mouth was full of blood.

An old man stood next to the super locust. His face was covered with totem patterns in the shape of locusts, which looked very strange and hideous.

“Eat, eat, you are the first meat-eating locust in our locust tribe, eat more…”

The old man’s eyes were very fanatical, because according to the legend left by ancient witches, when locusts that can eat meat appear, the locust tribe will be prosperous.

“Witch, except for women, children and those who are willing to surrender, everyone was killed.”

A soldier drenched in blood walked up to the old man and reported to him respectfully.

He is the leader of the locust tribe, a four-color warrior, and that old man is the witch of the locust tribe.

At this time, they had just exterminated a small tribe, and there were ruins and ruins everywhere around them, and the corpses were scattered all over the place. The death was very miserable.

The locust tribe witch nodded and said, “Very well, our locust tribe has grown stronger.”

“In the past, our locust tribe could only survive in the desolate land of the Western Wilderness, and never set foot in the fertile land of the Southern Wilderness. Now, our chance has come!”

He looked at the sky, the sun was so dazzling that he couldn’t look directly at it, the sun was like a raging fire, scorching all the creatures on the earth.

He said frantically, “Let this drought last longer. One day, our locusts will eat up all the tribes here!”

When the leader heard these words, the blood in his heart boiled, and his expression became equally fanatical.

“Wu, which tribe shall we destroy next?”

Wu pointed to the locusts flying in the sky and said, “The locusts know where there is food, we just need to follow the direction the locusts are going.”

“good!”

The leader excitedly clenched the blood-stained stone spear, strode towards the dilapidated residential area, urged the soldiers of the locust tribe to quickly pack up the spoils, and then continued on the road with the women, children, and surrendered soldiers.

Wu Ze stood where he was, watching the locusts flying southeast after eating and drinking all over the sky.

That direction is exactly the direction where the various tribes and vine tribes of the Great Swamp are located!

The next day, the locust tribe, who had packed up and had enough food and drink, continued to move forward with the locust swarm like a dark cloud. At this time, the population of the locust tribe had reached more than 6,000 people, and the team was very large.

For such a huge tribe, it is absolutely impossible to maintain what it needs by hunting alone.

They must follow the pace of the locust swarm, eat all the prey along the way, destroy all the tribes along the way, and plunder all the resources.

The locust tribe is like a snowball on a steep hillside. Once it rolls down, it can’t stop. It either absorbs the snow along the way and rolls bigger and bigger, or hits an extremely hard stone or tree, smashing to pieces.

Other than that, there is no other choice.

…

Southern Wilderness, Mountain Turtle Tribe.

“Wu, do we really want to continue to send people to hunt the locusts? But the more and more those locusts are being hunted, it is impossible to finish hunting, and it also delays our hunting time.”

In the wooden house, Shanjia was sitting by the firepit, with a very helpless expression on his face.

The shaman of the Mountain Turtle Tribe was even older, his skin was wrinkled like an orange peel, but his spirit was still good, his eyes were still sharp, and his mind was still clear.

“Shanjia, since the Vine Tribe stays there to fight locusts, we can’t withdraw. Once we withdraw, the Vine Tribe will no longer trust us if something happens to us in the future.”

“In your eyes, you are fighting locusts, but in my eyes, this is a war. No matter we win or lose, we should stand by the Vine tribe.”

“What’s more, those locusts are closer to the territory of our mountain turtle tribe than the vine tribe. If we give up, everything we have now, including the mushroom forest, may be seriously damaged.”

After listening to Wu’s words, Shanjia felt that it made sense, but facing the locusts overwhelming the sky, he was really a little desperate.

“Wu, there is a severe drought this year, and we haven’t stored much food. If we continue to consume like this, what will we eat in winter?”

The mountain turtle tribe witch slowly took out a piece of burnt tortoise shell, and said: “Shanjia, as the leader of the tribe, you must learn to be calm. I have already made a divination, and things will turn around soon.”

Shanjia looked at the scorched tortoise shell, and he saw a very strange crack, which made a big bend somewhere, and then stopped abruptly…
