This Is My Primitive Tribe - Vol 2 Chapter 287
“Crackling…”
The fire burned for a whole day and night, but there was still no sign of it going out. The terrible high temperature made the ground red, and even the stones were cracked.
Jiang Xuandao: “After burning for so long, these locusts and insect eggs should have been burnt to death. There is no point in continuing to burn. God Vine, put out the fire.”
“Patter…”
The vines quickly pumped the groundwater, and then swayed it with branches, as if there was a heavy rain in the sky.
“Chi Chi Chi…”
The rain fell into the raging fire, and a large amount of white smoke rose immediately, and the rain evaporated directly in a short period of time.
However, as the continuous rain fell, the flame was gradually suppressed until it went out.
On the other two sides, Turtle God and Frog God also began to transfer water to put out the fire.
The three great gods are like giant water pumps, pumping water from the ground and the swamp continuously, dousing the burning sea of fire.
“Gaba—”
After the fire was extinguished, Jiang Xuan walked into the forest, picked up a piece of charred charcoal, and gently broke the charcoal into two pieces.
“Good, good charcoal.”
Although these charcoals are not made by simmering, the loss is relatively large, but there is a lot of wood that cannot support this forest. After the fire is extinguished, there is also a lot of charcoal left.
Jiang Xuan said to Uncaria next to him: “After finishing the work here, go back and bring more bark bags, and put all the charcoal back in the tribe.”
“yes!”
Uncaria agreed, and was thinking about using all the sacks he had brought so far and taking as much charcoal back as possible when he went back.
Other tribes burn dry firewood and rarely use charcoal, but the Vine tribe is different.
In the rattan tribe, these charcoal can be used for smelting metals, filtering water quality, heating, etc. It has many functions and consumes a lot.
Jiang Xuan pulled out another bronze knife and dug a few times into the soil.
Because the fire burned for a day and a night, the soil on the surface had been burned to a reddish color, but the soil underneath was still black.
Moreover, due to too many burned trees, a very thick layer of plant ash has accumulated on the ground. These plant ash are good fertilizers!
Jiang Xuandao: “Notify the planting team and ask them to open up this forest and use it as arable land before tomorrow’s spring.”
“The bugs have been burned, and the weeds and vines have also been burned. The difficulty of land reclamation will be greatly reduced. Coupled with such a thick plant ash, we can get a good harvest next year.”
“yes!”
A soldier in charge of ordering took down Jiang Xuan’s words, and after returning, he had to convey this order to the planting team.
If it was an urgent order, he would have to find another person to send the order immediately.
The reason why two people are needed is because the journey is long and there are many variables on the road, so it is safer for two people to send orders.
“Crack, click…”
Not long after, the leaders of the Turtle Tribe, the Frog Tribe, and the Trickfly Tribe all ran over, crushing countless charcoal along the way.
Seeing this, the warriors of the Vine Tribe frowned slightly, which made the leaders of the three tribes baffled, thinking that something was not done well, and the people of the Vine Tribe were dissatisfied.
Shanjia came to Jiang Xuan’s side and asked in a low voice: “Didn’t the locusts be burned? Why don’t you look very happy?”
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: “It’s nothing, just be careful not to step on those big pieces of charcoal later.”
“Charcoal? Do you want this too?”
Shanjia finds it a bit unbelievable, because the tribal people keep burning firewood every day, and charcoal is so common that it is not uncommon.
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, “It’s useful to move back.”
“Since you want it, I’ll ask someone to collect it for you.”
Shanjia immediately sent an order to the warriors of the Shangui tribe to pick up the large pieces of charcoal and pile them together.
Seeing this, the warriors of the Vine tribe finally showed a smile on their faces, and they went forward to pick up charcoal together under Jiang Xuan’s instructions.
Seeing this, the frog tribe and the thorn fly tribe also went up to help.
They are affiliated tribes of the Vine tribe, and they must be active in their work, otherwise their loyalty will be easily suspected.
The warriors of the four tribes picked up charcoal together very quickly, and piles of charcoal like hills soon appeared on the ground, which was very spectacular.
Just when Jiang Xuan thought that the locust plague was coming to an end and he could go on to other things, something happened!
“Leader, leader…”
In the forest not far away, there was a sound of hooves stamping on the ground, and a familiar woman shouting.
Not long after, Fengcao ran out of the dense forest riding a big-horned deer, hurried to Jiang Xuan and landed.
“What happened?”
Jiang Xuan saw the big-horned deer panting heavily, Fengcao’s face was also very anxious, and his heart suddenly “thumped”, knowing that something must have happened, and it was not a small matter.
“The locust… the locust tribe is coming here.”
After Fengcao finished speaking, she swallowed with difficulty, she ran too fast, her mouth was already parched.
“Locust Tribe? How far is it?”
“They’re moving very fast, and it’s only about a day’s journey to get here.”
“One day, it came so fast…”
Jiang Xuan frowned, because among the fighters of the Vine Tribe, only the hunting team was more capable of fighting, and the breeding team didn’t have many people, and their combat effectiveness was relatively low.
“Boss Xuan, what locust tribe?”
Shanjia stood by and listened to his conversation with Fengcao, but felt confused, because the news about the Shangui tribe was relatively closed, and he didn’t know the existence of the Locust tribe at all.
Huomeng, the leader of the frog tribe, and the leader of the thornfly tribe also came over, and they also wanted to know what was going on with this locust tribe.
Jiang Xuandao: “Fengcao, tell everyone about the situation of the locust tribe.”
Fengcao immediately briefly talked about the situation of the locust tribe, including the fact that there are more locusts in the distance.
The most terrible thing is that the locust tribe has become bigger and bigger through continuous annexation, like a snowball, and those locusts are also constantly mutating, and their combat effectiveness is constantly rising.
If this continues, no one knows what the locust tribe will become.
Jiang Xuandao: “The reason why the locust tribe rushed here to kill them must have something to do with us burning those locusts to death. Let everyone talk about what we should do.”
He thought for a while, and then added: “The key is that the time is too short, and it is very difficult for the warriors of our Vine tribe to come here.”
Huo Meng said: “Although we don’t have many people, the patron saints of the four tribes are all here. Even if we can’t defeat the Locust tribe, we can hold them back. As long as the warriors from each tribe rush over, there will be no problem. ”
Shanjia nodded and said: “Leader Huomeng is right, there is only one locust tribe, but we have four tribes here, are you afraid that they will fail?”
The leader of the thornfly tribe also echoed: “Yes, so many locusts have been burned to death, at worst, burn them again!”
“Okay, since everyone says so, let’s fight!”
Everyone else is not afraid, Jiang Xuan has no reason to be afraid.
He first sent a few messenger warriors back to the tribe to call for people, and the other warriors relied on the favorable terrain to set up various traps. When the people from the Locust tribe came over, they first slapped them hard to weaken their combat effectiveness.
The other three tribes also chose a place, set up traps in the same way, and used the poisonous frogs of the frog tribe to quench the poison on the blade of the weapon, which can effectively kill the enemy.
After everything was ready, it was completely dark, and the four tribes each occupied a place, surrounded by them, waiting for the people from the locust tribe to come.
That night, the people from the locust tribe did not show up, which was expected by Jiang Xuan, because locusts are not used to moving at night.
The next morning, when the sun was just rising, several mutated locusts arrived at the place where Jiang Xuan and the others were first, and flew around the burned forest.
Immediately afterwards, more locusts pressed towards this side like dark clouds, and the humming of their wings vibrating could be heard clearly from far away.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Xuan, who was hiding in the dense forest, saw two soldiers with locust totem patterns on their faces running towards this side quickly, observing the surrounding situation while running.
“coming!”
Jiang Xuan picked up a beast horn bow, drew the bow and set an arrow, took a deep breath, then slowly pulled the bowstring, aiming at one of the locust tribe warriors.
“call out!”
After Jiang Xuan drew his bow fully, he immediately shot an arrow decisively.
The arrow with tail feathers spun at high speed, shooting at the locust tribe warrior with a sharp piercing sound.
“ah!”
A scream sounded, and the locust tribe warrior was shot through the chest by Jiang Xuan accurately, fell to the ground and kept rolling, seeing that he was dying.
Another locust tribe warrior heard the movement, his expression changed drastically, and he ran back immediately.
“Shhhhhh…”
He had barely run two steps when more than a dozen arrows shot at him, killing him on the spot.
“Rush over and kill them!”
This scene happened to be seen by the locust tribe fighters in the rear. They were furious and charged forward with their weapons in hand, relying on their numbers.
Soon, they broke into the trap area set up by the Vine tribe, and there was another scream.
However, there are too many people in the locust tribe, and those traps can’t stop them at all.
“Archery!”
“Throw a spear!”
Jiang Xuan calmly and calmly directed the warriors of the Vine Tribe to consume the enemy from a long distance first, and waited for the enemy to rush to a relatively close place before starting to fight in close quarters.
Soon, a big battle will begin!
