This Is My Primitive Tribe - Vol 2 Chapter 285
The Turtle Tribe stayed firmly and fought against the locusts together with the Teng Tribe, which surprised Jiang Xuan and moved him a little.
You must know that apart from the people of this tribe, other tribes, including affiliated tribes, put their own interests first, and rarely have such firm allies.
The actions of the Mountain Turtle Tribe have successfully enhanced their status in Jiang Xuan’s heart, and Jiang Xuan will definitely not forget them when encountering any benefits in the future.
The plague of locusts is still going on, and the locusts are getting more and more powerful, until carnivorous locusts appear and start attacking people and animals.
“Snapped!”
Jiang Xuan held a bronze spear in his hand, and accurately slashed a mutated locust that was rushing towards him, beating it to pieces, and its juice flew horizontally and fell to the ground.
However, there are still countless locusts in the sky, and everyone in the forest, including those mounts, are miserable.
After finally getting dark, the locusts finally landed on the branches and subsided a little.
The warriors of each tribe lit a bonfire, roasted meat and ate locusts.
To be honest, those locusts were about to vomit, and even felt sick when they saw them, but because the food was limited, they had to eat it if they didn’t want to.
Shanjia, Huomeng, and the leader of the Trickfly tribe were all sitting next to Jiang Xuan. The firelight shone on their faces, and everyone’s expressions were not very good-looking.
Shanjia took a bite of the roasted locust, and said, “Boss Xuan, there are more and more locusts eating meat. If this continues, we really can’t hold on.”
Huo Meng said with a bitter face: “Yes, no matter how hard we try, the forest will still be eaten up piece by piece, and the soldiers under us are almost desperate.”
The leader of the Stingfly Tribe nodded aside. Although he didn’t speak, the meaning was obvious.
Jiang Xuan was silent for a moment, and said: “You are right, it really cannot go on like this, it’s time to make a decision.”
Hearing Jiang Xuan’s words, Shanjia and the others’ eyes lit up. They thought that Jiang Xuan finally realized the reality and planned to retreat.
However, Jiang Xuan’s next sentence surprised them!
“I decided to use fire to attack and burn these locusts to death!”
“Fire attack?” The leader of the Thornfly Tribe widened his eyes, and even felt that Jiang Xuan was crazy.
If he wasn’t a lunatic, how could he think of such an idea as Huo Gong?
You must know that the drought has lasted for a long time, and the grass and trees in the forest are extremely dry. Once a fire breaks out, the monstrous fire will certainly burn the locusts, but they cannot escape themselves.
The leader of the Thornfly tribe was very worried that his tribe would be implicated, so he asked anxiously: “Boss Xuan, the fire attack is not easy to control, is it… think about it again…”
Compared with the entire tribe being buried in flames, the leader of the stingfly tribe would rather fight locusts here. It is a bit bitter, but at least there is no danger to his life.
Jiang Xuan comforted: “I know what you are worried about. Don’t worry, even if you light a fire, it will never burn the territory of your stinger tribe. We still have allies.”
“With the God of Frog and the God of Mountain Turtle, it is not difficult to put out the fire.”
The leader of the Trickfly Tribe looked at Shanjia and Huomeng with a questioning look in his eyes.
Shanjia nodded and said: “Boss Xuan is right, it’s not like we haven’t done things like fire attacks, not to mention that there is a vine god in charge.”
Speaking of the Vine God, the leader of the Stingfly Tribe felt a little more at ease. After all, that is a great god.
What’s more, Shanjia is not afraid, and he has nothing to be afraid of.
He asked again: “Then when shall we do it?”
“The locusts are flying around during the day, and they are easy to escape. Let’s invite the patron saints of our respective tribes over first, and then do it while it’s dark.”
“Okay! Tomorrow I’ll ask the God of Sting Flies to come over.”
The leader of the Stingfly Tribe put aside his worries temporarily, and his mood improved a lot. When eating locusts, he also felt that they were not as bad as before, and they were even quite delicious.
Others also breathed a sigh of relief, because they worshiped the totem god extremely fanatically, and firmly believed that as long as the totem god made a move, the little locust would definitely be able to solve it.
That night, everyone was in a happier mood, and everyone’s mental state was much better.
The leaders of the tribes set off early the next morning, because it was impossible for ordinary warriors to invite the totem gods, and they could only be invited by the leaders and witches.
Jiang Xuan also rode glutinous rice balls back to the Fuji tribe, and asked the God of Fuji to sit in the town.
The Vine God didn’t refuse, and directly dispatched a very powerful clone, followed Jiang Xuan to the forest where the locust plague was infested.
Five days later, the totem gods of the four major tribes gathered near the swamp, and the terrifying fluctuations in divine power made all the nearby animals flee or hide wildly, not daring to show their heads at all.
In the past five days, two more forests have been eaten up by locusts. The number of locusts is increasing, and the mutations are becoming more and more terrifying. The toxicity and attack power are astonishing.
However, the totem gods of all the tribes had arrived, and those warriors seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. Facing the overwhelming locusts, they had no sense of fear at all. Instead, they frantically culled them and wanted to express themselves.
“Prepare more dry firewood. After dark, we will light fires on all sides of the forest at the same time. Once the fire starts, these locusts will not be able to escape even if they want to!”
Jiang Xuan assigned tasks to several leaders: “Our Vine Tribe is in charge of the east, the Mountain Turtle Tribe is in charge of the north, the Frog Tribe is in charge of the west, and the Stingfly Tribe is in charge of the south. Do you hear me clearly?”
The three leaders nodded one after another, even a little excited in their hearts.
“Okay, let’s go to work right away, and try to accumulate enough firewood around the periphery, so that the fire will start faster.”
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, each tribe went to the predetermined location one after another, and began to frantically collect dry firewood, piling them up into a high wall.
The Vine tribe is also busy.
In the primeval forest, there are a lot of dry firewood, which can be seen almost everywhere.
Combined with the fact that those locusts only eat greens, dry wood is much easier to pick up.
Soon, a long wall made of dry firewood appeared in the forest, and the pile became longer and higher.
“Boss, is this really possible?”
Dajiao was a little nervous. He brought a lot of birds and beasts this time. Without exception, these birds and beasts were afraid of flames. Once the fire started, they might be frightened.
Jiang Xuan patted Dajiao’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, this is next to the big swamp, with the God of Rattan, the God of Turtle and the God of Frog, there will be no problem, look after the birds and beasts of your breeding team That’s it.”
Jiang Xuan’s words reassured Da Jiao a lot.
“Then I will take someone to tie up their feet first, so as not to run around after being frightened.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Dajiao hurriedly led people to tie the feet of the birds and beasts, while the others continued to gather firewood.
In the midst of everyone’s busyness, the sun slowly sinks from the sky to the west, and the moon slowly rises from the east. The hot sunlight is replaced by the cold moonlight, and the locusts in the forest gradually stop flying and lie on the nearby tree trunks. or on the ground.
Night fell.
Jiang Xuan was not in a hurry, but let everyone eat dinner first, and waited until midnight. At this time, most of the locusts had already fallen asleep.
When the moon was hollow, on the side of the Vine Tribe, torches were lit one after another, and the blazing flames shone like stars in the forest.
Holding a torch in hand, Jiang Xuan walked to the side of the high firewood wall and shouted loudly: “Light it up!”
Then he put the burning torch into the pile of firewood.
Other Vine tribe warriors also put torches into the pyre and lit the pyre at the same time.
“Crackling…”
The dry leaves were first ignited, followed by small branches, large branches, and wood.
“Hoo hoo hoo…”
After the fire started, the air heated up rapidly, and a whirlwind appeared above the fire, and the tail of the fire was pulled up with a “swoosh”.
In the other three directions, after seeing the fire, other tribes also started to light the fire.
Soon, fires ignited on all sides of the forest, and the flames soaring into the sky illuminated the night, and the billowing smoke soared upwards, turning into patches of dark clouds.
By the time the locusts woke up from their sleep, the terrible flames had already burned from all sides, and it was too late to escape.
