This Is My Primitive Tribe - Vol 2 Chapter 292
The seventh year of the establishment of the Vine Tribe, summer, July 25th.
Nanhuang, the temporary residence of the locust tribe.
“Kacha Kacha…”
In a forest, countless locusts are eating leaves, branches, and even bark. As long as there is something edible, they will eat almost everything.
After these locusts gnawed, there were only some bare tree trunks and thick branches left in the forest, and there was not even a little green in sight.
On the open space where the locusts gnawed, more than 10,000 members of the locust tribe were also eating. They ate all kinds of wild animals and the food they robbed from various tribes.
The locust tribe has a very strange rule, that is, except for winter, they usually only light fires during the day, and only dig a few pits to simmer wood at night to preserve the fire.
Because some locusts have phototaxis, if a large-scale bonfire is lit at night, some locusts may jump into the fire and burn to death like moths.
Therefore, the daytime is the carnival time for the locust tribe. At night, they will go to bed early, leaving only some soldiers to watch the night.
This habit of the locust tribe was also noticed by the thorny vine in charge of intelligence work, and Fengcao reported it to Jiang Xuan.
“In other words, the locust tribe is not good at fighting at night. Will we have an advantage in attacking at night than during the day?”
In a forest not far from the locust tribe, Jiang Xuan looked thoughtfully at the location of the locust tribe after hearing the information from Fengcao.
Fengcao nodded and said: “It should be like this. At night, the fighters of the locust tribe seldom move, and those locusts will no longer fly around. It should be easier to deal with than during the day.”
“Okay, then we’ll wait until it gets dark.”
Jiang Xuan led more than 2,000 rattan cavalry this time. Following his order, all the cavalry got off their mounts to rest, eat some dry food, conserve their strength, and wait for dark.
Fengcao led the warriors of thorns and vines, and continued to watch every move of the locust tribe, providing Jiang Xuan with more and more accurate information.
While everyone waited patiently, night gradually fell.
After the sun went down, the locust swarms that had been eating for a day gradually calmed down, lying on the trees or on the ground, leaving only a large piece of bare forest.
The members of the locust tribe also extinguished most of the fires, only keeping the fire in some houses.
The noisy forest became silent, and even the chirping of insects could hardly be heard.
Outside the locust tribe, the warriors of the rattan tribe who had been waiting for a long time became energetic.
The leaders of Uncaria, Stone Loach, Nepeta, Cocklebur, Atractylodes and other leaders all surrounded Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao.
Uncaria looked at the sky, and asked in a low voice, “Witch, leader, can we attack?”
Jiang Xuan looked at the direction of the Locust Tribe, and said, “Don’t worry, wait a little longer, the people of the Locust Tribe are still awake, wait for them to sleep before attacking, and catch them by surprise.”
“That’s right, since it’s a sneak attack at night, it’s more beneficial for us to wait for them to fall asleep.”
Chi Shao also agreed with Jiang Xuan’s idea.
“Okay, then wait a little longer.”
Both the leader and the witch said so, and Uncaria could only hold back its temper, and went back to the place where the hunting team was, to appease the soldiers, let them eat something, and continue to wait.
Time passed bit by bit, the moon slowly rose, and the cold moonlight fell on the earth, bringing some light to the ground.
It was late at night, except for a few members of the Locust Tribe who were obsessed with primitive sports, most of the Locust Tribe had fallen asleep.
When the moon rose to the sky, Jiang Xuan, who was resting on the black wind rhinoceros, regained his spirits, and immediately got up holding the bronze spear.
“Soldiers with night vision ability follow me, those without night vision ability light torches and follow the team to attack!”
With Jiang Xuan’s order, more than two thousand cavalry from the Vine tribe stood up one after another.
The Vine Tribe and the Mountain Turtle Tribe trade a large number of magical mushrooms every year. Among them, Ye Minggu can enhance people’s night vision after eating them.
Among the two thousand cavalry, there were
More than a thousand people have eaten Ye Minggu, and there is some moonlight tonight. Their strength will not be affected much in this environment.
More than a thousand cavalrymen took up their weapons and sat on the backs of their respective mounts.
The closest to Jiang Xuan is the heavy cavalry composed of more than 30 black wind rhinos. They wear thick leather armor, and the black wind rhinos themselves have amazing defenses. They can rampage on the battlefield and cause damage to the enemy. Very big damage.
The second is the light cavalry composed of blue sheep and big horned deer, which can cooperate with heavy cavalry to charge on the flanks.
The last one is the warrior riding the bird.
Although the Raptors are not weak in combat and run extremely fast, they have a big flaw, that is, their night vision ability is very poor.
If it was fighting during the day, these raptors could display terrifying fighting power, but this time it was a night battle, and these raptors could only follow behind and fight by the firelight.
“Crackling…”
In the rear, the soldiers had already prepared the kindling, and piles of bonfires were lit, followed by torches. It seemed that countless stars suddenly appeared in the entire forest, twinkling and twinkling.
After everything was ready, Jiang Xuan rode on the back of the black wind rhinoceros Crescent Moon, and said to the divine vine floating in the air beside him, shrinking to a height of half a meter: “Vine God, you can attack now.”
“good!”
The divine vine responded, and then, its size began to grow rapidly, and all the vines stretched out.
“Hoo hoo hoo…”
After growing in size, the divine vine immediately flew towards the locust tribe ahead, and because of the high speed, a gust of wind blew up over the forest.
“Buzz!”
After the divine vine floated over the locust tribe, its whole body burst into a dazzling green light, and all the vines continued to grow bigger and longer.
A giant vine hundreds of meters long smashed the locust tribe members on the ground fiercely.
“Kacha Kacha…”
“boom!”
Those big trees with only trunks and thick branches were smashed under the blow of the vines. Afterwards, all the huts built by the locust tribe on the ground also exploded, and the people and locusts who were drawn were killed instantly.
When the vines were lifted up again, a long gully appeared on the ground, which was very scary.
“ah……”
“Enemy attack, enemy attack…”
The locust tribe suddenly became chaotic, with screams, calls, houses collapsing, and the sound of awakened locusts flapping their wings.
“Boom boom boom…”
The divine vine continued to yank toward the ground, and deep gullies appeared one after another, killing countless locust tribe warriors and locusts.
However, the locust tribe has a totem god after all, and it is impossible to let the god vines kill the entire tribe.
“hiss!”
The locust god in the center of the tribe was startled and angry. It neighed, then flapped its wings and flew into the sky, and rushed towards the vine god.
“Boom boom boom…”
In the sky, the two totem gods collided crazily, and the terrifying fluctuation of divine power was like a surging tsunami, making all the creatures below tremble with fear.
After all, the locust god is not a real god, and its strength is weaker than that of the vine god.
But it is a locust, and it is naturally restrained from plants. It is not so easy for the vine god to kill it.
On the ground, after Jiang Xuan waited for the vine god to make a move, he immediately raised his bronze spear and shouted: “Kill!”
“kill……”
More than two thousand cavalry shouted at the same time, the momentum was terrifying.
“Winter Dongdong…”
More than two thousand cavalry ran at the same time, the sound was like thunder, and even the ground trembled.
“Il…”
In the sky, Tangyuan also followed Jiang Xuan to dive towards the locust tribe. Under the moonlight, its feathers reflected purple light, and its huge body cast a large shadow.
“Bang bang bang!”
Jiang Xuan rushed into the Locust Tribe first, and those Locust Tribe members who were still in chaos in front were knocked away by the crescent moon several times.
.
“puff!”
Jiang Xuan’s bronze spear could kill a locust tribe warrior with one stab, and he didn’t even need to pull back, because the running crescent would carry the bronze spear forward, leaving only the fallen enemy behind.
More than two thousand cavalry rushed into the locust tribe, slaughtering those tribe members who were still in a panic.
The locust tribe never imagined that after they massacred those tribes and became so powerful, they would one day be slaughtered into the tribe.
“Don’t mess up, don’t mess up, follow me…”
Holding a weapon, the leader of the locust tribe screamed hoarsely, and relying on his strong strength, he killed several light cavalry from the vine tribe.
After all, the locust tribe is also a tribe that has experienced many battles. Soon, more and more people gathered around the leader of the locust tribe, and began to organize a counterattack against the cavalry of the vine tribe.
Not only that, but all the mutated locusts also woke up, and they rushed towards the torch frantically, causing a lot of trouble to the Vine tribe cavalry holding the torch.
However, Jiang Xuan had no intention of fighting to the death with the locust tribe in this place.
When the fighters of the locust tribe gathered and began to fight back, Jiang Xuan immediately blew the bone whistle and rushed out of the locust tribe.
“Winter Dongdong…”
The advantage of the cavalry lies in their speed and ability to break the formation. When they want to leave, even if the locust tribe has a larger number, it is impossible to keep them.
Soon, more than two thousand rattan cavalry rushed out of the locust tribe, and ran away without looking back.
The locust tribe wanted to pursue them, but they were poor at night, and because of their habits, there were not many fires in the tribe, so it was very difficult to light a large number of torches in a short period of time.
In desperation, the leader of the locust tribe had to grit his teeth and give up the pursuit.
In the sky, the battle between the two totem gods continued.
Moreover, the vine god didn’t show its full strength, it even deliberately showed weakness to the locust god, and lured the locust god to the ambush circle bit by bit.
The Locust God had fought against the Vine God long ago, and thought that the other party was nothing more than that. Now that the Locust Tribe suffered a big loss, it made it even more angry.
The Locust God pursued the Vine God without hesitation, vowing to kill the Vine God before giving up.
“Buzz…”
Countless mutated locusts are like dark clouds, moving with the Locust God. They have poor night vision, but with the Locust God present, they just need to follow along.
Gradually, the locust god and the locust tribe, which was far away from a large number of locusts, approached the ambush circle little by little under the temptation of the vine god.
