Chapter 389: The Snake God Takes Action
“Hoohoo…”
After the forest fire started, a fire tornado quickly formed, with the tail of the fire rising hundreds of meters high. The wind fueled the fire, and the fire fueled the wind, which was extremely terrifying.
"Snake God, please save us!"
In the center of the Black Snake Tribe’s residential area, there is a huge cave. The cave is pitch black, large and deep, like an abyss, leading straight to the ground.
After the fire broke out, many members of the Black Snake Tribe ran to the cave, knelt down and prayed. Even the big black snakes ran into the cave to hide.
The witch of the Black Snake Tribe was chanting incantations, performing sacrificial dances, and constantly trying to communicate with the snake god. He was very anxious inside.
In fact, if it were usual, when such a big thing happened in the tribe, the snake god would have taken action long ago, and there would be no need to ask the witch for help.
But the problem is that the snake god has lived in the cold Western Wilderness for too long, and even after arriving in the Southern Wilderness, it still maintains the habit of hibernation.
According to the time calculation, it is winter now, and even in the central part of China where it is not snowing, one can still feel some coldness.
At this time, although the snake god will not fall into a deep sleep, it likes to hide deep in the cave, lazy and unwilling to move, and its vigilance is very low.
In fact, if it were summer, Fengcao and others would have no chance to dig holes underground in the Black Snake Tribe, because any movement underground would not escape the eyes of the Snake God.
As the fire grew bigger and bigger and approached the center of the Black Snake Tribe's residential area, there was finally movement in the huge cave.
“Clatter…”
In the cave, a black giant snake that was over a thousand meters long was climbing up the rock wall quickly, and loose stones along the way fell down one after another.
This black snake was so huge that when its head stretched out from the cave, it looked like a round hill rising from the ground, and its two huge vertical pupils were breathtaking.
At the same time, a terrifying divine power emanated from the giant snake. With the cave as the origin, it spread out in all directions like a tsunami. It was extremely terrifying.
"The snake god has come out to save us!"
"Very good!"
The members of the Black Snake Tribe burst into cheers, and everyone knelt down towards the Snake God enthusiastically.
The giant snake looked around, and the raging sea of fire made its eyes become even colder, and even filled with murderous intent.
"hiss……"
The giant snake let out a long hiss towards the sky, and then all the scales on its body burst into brilliant black light, and terrifying divine power accumulated in its body.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, the giant snake turned into a black light and flew up into the sky from the cave at an incredible speed.
It circled in the air, then flew over a nearby lake, opened its bloody mouth and sucked in air.
“Clatter…”
The lake water was seen surging wildly, and then turned into a huge water column that rushed into the giant snake's mouth, and the water level of the lake dropped sharply.
The giant snake's belly swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a legless giant lizard.
When the water level of the lake dropped by one third, the giant snake finally stopped sucking water. It flew to the territory of the Black Snake Tribe again, then opened its big mouth and sprayed towards the blazing sea of fire.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
The lake water spewed out by the giant snake was like a waterfall. Wherever it went, even the raging flames could not be stopped and were all extinguished by the water.
The giant snake went back and forth three times and sucked up all the water in the lake, finally extinguishing all the flames and resolving this terrible forest fire.
When the last fire was put out, the entire Black Snake Tribe once again erupted in thunderous cheers.
Countless people kept bowing to the giant snake and even dancing, their faith was extremely fanatical.
The giant snake flew one last circle in the air, glanced at the cave where Fengcao and others had hidden, and then drilled back into the deep cave.
After the giant snake entered, the Black Snake Tribe witch closed his eyes, as if listening to the oracle.
After a moment, he opened his eyes again and pointed in the direction of Fengcao and others in a rage: "The foreign tribesmen who set the fire are over there, kill them!"
“Kill, kill, kill…”
The angry Black Snake tribe warriors rushed over there, vowing to tear the foreign tribesmen who set the fire into pieces.
However, when they arrived there, there was only a fresh earth hole left, without even a ghost.
In fact, after the fire broke out, Fengcao immediately led everyone away. How could they possibly stay there and wait to die?
By analyzing the scratch marks on the earth holes and the remaining smell of wild animals in the holes, the Black Snake Tribe concluded that the fire was set by a tribe that was good at digging holes.
There is only one tribe around the Black Snake Tribe that has had conflicts with them and is good at digging holes: the Bamboo Rat Tribe! "It must have been those big bamboo rats!"
“Kill them!”
"Skin them and eat their flesh!"
The Black Snake Tribe was very excited and they wanted to rush to the Bamboo Rat Tribe immediately and catch those hateful big bamboo rats in one fell swoop.
The poor bamboo rat tribe didn't know that they were inexplicably hated by a larger tribe.
Fortunately, the fire had caused too much damage to the Black Snake Tribe, with countless houses collapsed and many people killed or injured. They were temporarily unable to spare the time and could only set off for the Bamboo Rat Tribe immediately.
Soon, under the organization of the witch and leader of the Black Snake tribe, all the tribesmen became busy.
Some are responsible for extinguishing the smoldering embers in the forest to prevent it from flaring up again.
Some people were responsible for repairing collapsed houses and clearing burned trees.
Some people were responsible for rescuing tribesmen who were burned or fainted by the smoke, as well as a few unlucky big black snakes...
The entire Black Snake Tribe gradually restored order from the chaos and began to get busy again.
Soon, some people were pleasantly surprised to find that the fire had brought some unexpected benefits.
That is, there were many birds and animals burned to death in the forest, as well as a large number of fish, shrimps and crabs.
These fish, shrimps and crabs were originally living peacefully in the lake. When the snake god sucked up water to put out the fire, he sucked them up together and then sprayed them into the forest along with the lake water.
After the fire was put out, large numbers of fish were jumping around in the forest, and shrimps and crabs were crawling on the ground.
Many members of the Black Snake Tribe regarded these things as gifts from the snake god. They first bowed again in the direction of the cave, and then happily picked up all the burnt birds and beasts, as well as the fish, shrimps and crabs crawling on the ground.
…
"Huff, huff..."
In a forest far away from the Black Snake Tribe, Fengcao, who had been riding a bird of prey for a long time, finally stopped.
Behind her were two Thorn Vine Warriors also riding on birds of prey, as well as Giant Claw Tribe Warriors and Thorn Fly Tribe Warriors riding on Giant Claw Beasts.
Although the giant claw beast can dig the ground very quickly, its speed and endurance in running on the ground are far inferior to that of the birds of prey. Once it stops, it sticks out its tongue and breathes heavily.
Fengcao jumped down from the raptor's back: "There shouldn't be any danger here, let's take a rest here."
"yes!"
Everyone got off their mounts and leaned against the big trees to rest, still feeling frightened.
Although they fled immediately after setting the fire, when the giant snake appeared, they could still see the terrifying snake shadow in the sky from afar.
The giant snake released its terrifying divine power, which affected the raptor and the giant claw beast, causing them to tremble uncontrollably as they ran.
It was not until the giant snake began to concentrate on absorbing water to put out the fire that its divine power was slightly restrained. The raptors and giant claws took the opportunity to flee for their lives, away from the black snake tribe.
Fengcao said to himself: "The totem god of the big tribe is really scary. Next time when I cause trouble for the Black Snake Tribe, I must be more cautious and more secretive, so as not to attract the attention of the big black snake."
Fengcao knew very well that his goal was to continue to create troubles for the Black Snake Tribe so that they had no time to take care of other things, rather than to confront a large tribe head-on, which would be courting death.
