In the middle of the Southern Wilderness, in a remote place on the lower reaches of the Nan River, there is the Black Snake Tribe.
"Hiss..."
A big black snake was swimming slowly in the grass, its forked tongue swallowing and puffing from time to time, feeling various signals coming from the air, and its cold vertical pupils searching for living creatures around it.
However, when it crawled into a bush, an unpleasant smell hit its nostrils.
The big black snake retracted its tongue, closed its mouth, turned around and left without hesitation. It seemed that it disliked this smell so much that it felt uncomfortable all over if it touched it at all.
After the big snake left, a head suddenly popped out of the bushes. It was Feng Cao, the leader of the thorn vine.
On the ground behind her is a newly dug earth hole.
Two members of the Thorn Vine, two Giant Claw Tribe warriors with two Giant Claw Beasts, and a Stinging Fly Tribe warrior with dozens of Stinging Flies were all hiding inside.
In the spring, Jiang Xuan ordered each affiliated tribe to send some warriors and war beasts to participate in the pioneering of the central part of the country. It was at that time that these giant claw beasts and thorn flies came over.
The giant clawed beast is very good at digging holes, and the tail sting of the stinging fly can stun people. These two characteristics are very suitable for the needs of the thorn vine, and are deeply loved by the members of the thorn vine.
This time, dealing with the Black Snake Tribe was no exception. Feng Cao took them directly with him, intending to approach the Black Snake Tribe's territory from underground.
However, when the giant clawed beast actually dug into the territory of the Black Snake tribe, it was discovered that things were not that simple.
Because those black snakes actually live in caves!
As soon as the giant clawed beast dug into the territory of the black snake tribe, it discovered the lair of a big black snake.
If Feng Cao and others hadn't killed the big black snake with quick eyesight and quick hands, I'm afraid they would have been exposed by now.
Generally speaking, cave-dwelling snakes are small and medium-sized snakes. Large snakes usually have similar habits to beasts. They live in their own territory and crawl wherever they want. They do not have fixed nests at all.
But these huge black snakes not only live in caves, but also have fixed nests. They are completely alien.
Fortunately, they discovered this early, otherwise the giant clawed beast would dig holes along the way, and it would be great fun to dig out the totem snake of the Black Snake Tribe.
In order to prevent the dug hole from being discovered by the black snake tribe, they sprinkled some snake repellent near the entrance of the hole to prevent the big black snakes from approaching.
After confirming that the big black snake had gone away, Feng Cao said to the warrior of the Stinging Fly Tribe: "Let out all the Stinging Flies you brought and check the surroundings for any danger."
"yes!"
The warrior of the Stinging Fly Tribe opened and closed his mouth quickly, his teeth kept colliding, and he made an incomprehensible sound, and then pointed forward.
"Buzz buzz..."
The stinging flies surrounding him flew in the direction of his finger, very fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Everyone waited patiently for a while, and soon, one after another, the stinging flies returned and landed on the stinging fly tribe warrior. Their wings made a strange vibration sound, and their bodies kept twisting.
The warriors of the Stinging Fly tribe kept nodding, as if they could understand the sounds they made and their body language.
After a while, the Stinging Fly Tribe warrior said to Feng Cao: "Leader, the snake repellent we put out is effective. There are no people from the Black Snake Tribe or black snakes nearby."
Feng Cao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, we will wait here until dark, and then light fires in three directions to let the people of the Black Snake Tribe taste the power of the fire attack."
The warrior of the Stinging Fly Tribe was surprised: "Chief, the weather is so dry now, and the trees in the forest will burn easily. Once they burn, I'm afraid all the nearby tribes will suffer, and we will also be in trouble."
Feng Cao smiled and said: "You underestimate the strength of a large tribe. Don't worry, this fire won't burn much place. At most, it will only add some chaos to the Black Snake Tribe. As long as the Black Snake Tribe is in chaos, we will be able to find it."
More opportunities.”
Feng Cao's prestige in the hearts of these people was very high. Since she said there was no problem, no one raised any more questions.
They returned to the cave and waited patiently for nightfall.
When the sun gradually set and the light in the forest gradually became dim, Feng Cao, who was sitting in the earth cave with his eyes closed and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Start the fire and get ready for action!"
Following Feng Cao's order, the two warriors from the Teng tribe immediately took out two iron bars, two pieces of flint, and the flammable and resistant wood fungus.
Ever since iron was smelted by the Teng tribe, Jiang Xuan led his tribe to develop various uses for iron products.
Using iron bars to strike flints to make fire is one of the new skills Jiang Xuan taught to the people of the Teng tribe.
"Ding ding ding..."
Following the rapid tapping of the two Vine Tribe warriors, red sparks suddenly splashed down from the flint.
Small-sized sparks were extinguished immediately after landing. Some large-sized sparks landed on the dry surface of the fungi and successfully ignited them, forming a fire.
They lit three fires in a row and gave one of them to Fengcao.
Feng Cao held the smoldering fire and said: "In a moment, one of you will light the fire on the left side of the Black Snake Tribe, and the other will light the fire on the right side. Leave the front to me. Remember, you must choose the place with the most dry firewood and the fastest way to burn it.
, run immediately after clicking, don’t look back, don’t hesitate.”
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the two warriors immediately took the fire and left the cave. One to the left and one to the right, they got into the dense forest and disappeared soon.
"The Stinging Fly is following me, and the Giant Claw Beast will stay in the cave to take care of me."
Fengcao waved his hand, then jumped out of the hole, and the warriors of the Stinging Fly Tribe hurriedly followed.
When Fengcao entered the forest, all the totem patterns on her body emerged, emitting a faint dark green light.
At this moment, she seemed to be integrated with all the plants in the forest. Even her breath had changed. Even if someone came close, it would be difficult to detect her presence.
The warrior of the Stinging Fly Tribe does not have this ability, but he can command the Stinging Fly to explore the surrounding environment and avoid danger in advance.
Soon, they approached the outskirts of the Black Snake Tribe's residential area.
After arriving here, Feng Cao did not dare to go any further, because after nightfall, there were soldiers patrolling the Black Snake tribe, and it would be easy to be discovered if they got too close.
She first felt the direction of the wind, then chose a place where it was easiest to burn towards the Black Snake Tribe's residential area, and carefully piled a large amount of dry firewood.
"call……"
Wind Grass placed some dry moss on the fire, and then blew air continuously.
Soon, wisps of thick smoke sprouted from the smoldering fungi. Then, a wisp of flame suddenly burst out, smoldering the dry moss.
Fengcao quickly put the burning moss into the pile of dry firewood, and added a large number of dry leaves and fine branches to it.
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
Soon, the pile of dry firewood began to burn violently, and spread rapidly with the blessing of the wind.
Feng Cao and the Stinging Fly Tribe warrior picked up the burning branches and lit fires everywhere, spreading the fire into a continuous fire.
Then, they turned around and ran away without looking back, not daring to stay where they were.
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
After the fire burned, the thick leaves on the virgin forest floor became the best fuel, turning the place into a sea of fire in a short period of time, with flames reaching into the sky and heat waves surging.
"Oops, it's on fire!"
"Quickly put out the fire!"
When the members of the Black Snake Tribe saw the forest burst into flames, everyone screamed in horror. Some people tried to put out the fire, while others ran around.
Just as everyone was hurriedly trying to think of ways to put out the fire, someone suddenly pointed to the left in horror and shouted: "No, the forest on the left is also burning!"
"There's a fire on the right side too!"
Tribal people are very afraid of wildfires.
When the members of the Black Snake Tribe discovered that they had no ability to extinguish the fire, the entire tribe soon became a mess, and countless people began to flee crazily to places where there was no fire.
"Hiss..."
Those big black snakes also started running around restlessly. Some of them got into underground caves, and some ran with the crowd. The big black snakes ran rampant, knocking down many unlucky people along the way.
"Huhu..."
The wind became stronger and stronger, and so did the fire. The flames were like wild beasts, burning and devouring crazily.
The sound of wind, fire, screams, cries, the sound of houses collapsing... all kinds of sounds were intertwined, and the entire forest seemed to have turned into a hell on earth.
