The Shangui tribe firmly stayed and fought with the Vine tribe against the locusts, which surprised Jiang Xuan and was a little touched.
You must know that except for the people of this tribe, other tribes, including affiliated tribes, all put their own interests first, and few have such firm allies.
The actions of the Shangui Tribe have successfully improved their status in Jiang Xuan's heart. Jiang Xuan will definitely not forget them when he encounters any benefits in the future.
The locust plague continues, and the locusts become more and more powerful, and there are more and more locusts, until carnivorous locusts appear and begin to attack people and animals.
"Pa!"
Jiang Xuan held a bronze war spear and accurately hit a mutated locust that rushed towards him, beating it to pieces and causing juice to fly everywhere and fall to the ground.
However, there are still countless locusts in the sky, and everyone in the forest, including the mounts, is suffering miserably.
After finally waiting until dark, the locusts finally landed on the branches and calmed down a little.
Warriors from each tribe lit bonfires, grilled meat and ate locusts.
To be honest, they were almost vomiting after eating those locusts, and even felt nauseated when they saw them, but because the food was limited, they had to eat them even if they didn't want to.
Shanjia, Huo Meng, and the leaders of the Stinging Fly Tribe were all sitting next to Jiang Xuan. The firelight reflected on their faces, and each of them looked unhappy.
The mountain beetle took a bite of the roasted locust and said: "Chief Xuan, there are more and more locusts eating meat. If this continues, we really can't hold on anymore."
Huo Meng said with a bitter face: "Yes, no matter how hard we try, the forest is still eaten up piece by piece, and the soldiers under him are almost desperate."
The leader of the Stinging Fly Tribe nodded aside. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was obvious.
Jiang Xuan was silent for a moment and said: "You are right, we really can't go on like this anymore. It's time to make a decision."
Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Shanjia and others' eyes lit up. They thought Jiang Xuan finally recognized the reality and planned to retreat.
However, Jiang Xuan's next words surprised them!
"I decided to attack these locusts with fire!"
"Fire attack?" The leader of the Stinging Fly Tribe widened his eyes and even thought Jiang Xuan was crazy.
If you weren't a madman, how could you have thought of such an idea as a fire attack?
You know, the drought has been going on for a long time, and the vegetation in the forest is extremely dry. Once a fire breaks out, the monstrous fire will certainly burn the locusts, but they themselves cannot escape.
The leader of the Stinging Fly tribe was very worried that his tribe would be implicated, so he asked uneasily: "Chief Xuan, the fire attack is difficult to control, should you... think about it again..."
Compared to the entire tribe dying in a sea of fire, the leader of the Stinging Fly Tribe would rather fight locusts here. It is a bit painful, but at least there is no danger to his life.
Jiang Xuan reassured: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, even if you light a fire, it will never burn the territory of your Stinging Fly Tribe. We still have allies."
"With the presence of the frog god and the mountain turtle god, putting out fires is not a difficult task."
The leader of the Stinging Fly Tribe looked at Shanjia and Huo Meng, his eyes full of inquiry.
Shanjia nodded and said: "Leader Xuan is right. It's not like we haven't done fire attacks before, not to mention that there is a Vine God sitting in charge."
Mentioning the Vine God, the leader of the Stinging Fly Tribe felt a little more at ease. After all, he was a great god.
What's more, since the mountain beetles are not afraid, he has nothing to be afraid of.
He asked again: "Then when will we take action?"
"Locusts fly around during the day and are easy to escape. We first invite the patron saints of each tribe to come over, and then we take advantage of the darkness."
"Okay! I will ask the God of Stinging Fly to come over tomorrow."
The leader of the Stinging Fly Tribe temporarily put aside his worries, and his mood improved a lot. When he ate the locusts, he didn't feel as bad as before, and they were even quite delicious.
Others also breathed a sigh of relief, because they worship the Totem God extremely fervently and firmly believe that as long as the Totem God takes action, the little locusts will definitely be able to solve it.
This night, everyone was in a happier mood, and everyone's mental state was much better.
Early the next morning, the leaders of each tribe set out, because ordinary warriors could not do such things as inviting totem gods. They could only be invited by the leaders and shamans.
Jiang Xuan also rode Tang Yuan back to the Vine Tribe, asking the Vine God to come and take charge.
Fujigami did not refuse, and directly dispatched a very powerful clone to follow Jiang Xuan to the forest where the locust plague was occurring.
Five days later, the totem gods of the four major tribes gathered near the Great Swamp. The terrifying fluctuations in divine power caused all nearby animals to flee or hide crazily, 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 their mutations are becoming more and more terrifying. Their toxicity and attack power are astonishing.
However, the totem gods of each tribe have arrived, and those warriors are like chicken blood. Facing the overwhelming locusts, they have no sense of fear at all. Instead, they kill them frantically 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 responsible for the east, the Mountain Turtle Tribe is responsible for the north, the Frog Tribe is responsible for the west, and the Stinging Fly Tribe is responsible for the south. Do you all hear clearly?"
The three leaders nodded one after another, and they were even a little excited.
"Okay, let's go to work right away. Try to pile up enough firewood around the outside so that the fire can start faster."
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, each tribe went to the predetermined location and began to collect dry firewood frantically, piling it into a tall wall.
The Vine Tribe is also busy.
In the primeval forest, there are so many dry firewoods that can be seen almost everywhere.
In addition, those locusts only eat green plants, so dry firewood is easier to collect.
Soon, a long wall made of piles of dry firewood appeared in the forest, and the pile grew longer and taller.

"Chief, is this really possible?"
Dajiao is a little nervous. He has brought many birds and beasts with him this time. Without exception, these birds and beasts are afraid of fire. Once the fire starts, they are likely to be frightened.
Jiang Xuan patted Dajiao on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, this is next to the swamp. There are vine gods, turtle gods and frog gods here. There will be no problem. Watch out for the birds and beasts in your breeding team.
That’s it.”
Jiang Xuan's words made Dajiao feel at ease a lot.
"Then I will bring someone to tie their feet first to prevent them from running around after being frightened."
"Okay, let's go."
Dajiao hurriedly led people to tie the feet of birds and animals, while others continued to collect firewood.
While everyone was busy, the sun slowly set from the sky and the moon slowly rose from the east. The hot sunlight was replaced by the cool moonlight. The locusts in the forest gradually stopped flying and lay on the tree trunks nearby.
or on the ground.
Night has fallen.
Jiang Xuan was not in a hurry, but let everyone have dinner first and waited until midnight. By this time, most of the locusts had fallen asleep.
When the moon was hollow, torches were lit one after another on the Vine Tribe side, and the blazing flames were like stars in the forest, shining brightly.
Jiang Xuan personally held a torch, walked to the high wall of firewood, and shouted: "Light the fire!"
Then, he put the burning torch into the firewood pile.
Other Vine tribe warriors also put torches into the pyre and lit the pyre at the same time.
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
The dry leaves were the first to be ignited, followed by small branches, big branches, and all the wood.
"Huhuhu..."
After the fire burned, the air heated up rapidly, a howling whirlwind appeared above the fire, and the tail of the fire was lifted up with a "swish".
In the other three directions, after seeing the fire, other tribes also started to light fires.
Soon, fires were ignited on all sides of the forest. The sky-high flames illuminated the dark night, and the thick smoke rose up and turned into patches of dark clouds.
By the time the locusts woke up from their sleep, the terrible flames had burned from all sides, and they had no time to escape.
