Chapter 291 The Locust Tribe Continues to Expand
The next day, just after dawn, the people of the Vine Tribe set out on their journey again.
At daybreak, the locusts will wake up and the locust tribe will continue their pursuit. They dare not stop.
Half a day later, the warriors from the Teng tribe who received the news and rushed over to provide reinforcements also arrived.
The person in charge of leading the team was Shi Qiu, the leader of the second hunting team. When he saw the miserable condition of Uncaria and others, he was immediately shocked.
"Chief, why are so many people injured?"
Jiang Xuan said: "I underestimated the locust tribe. Their numbers far outnumber ours, and with the overwhelming number of locusts, it's not that easy to deal with them."
"Well, now that we have more people, should we fight back?"
"Let's retreat back to the tribe for now."
Shi Qiu wanted to say something, but seeing Jiang Xuan looking exhausted, he could only hold it back.
"Return to the tribe!"
At Shi Qiu's command, the warriors of the Teng tribe who had just arrived turned around. Everyone was confused and had no idea what was going on.
Only those who had participated in the battle understood that even with the addition of these reinforcements, it would be almost impossible to defeat the Locust Tribe.
Only by returning to the tribe and relying on the power of the true body of the Vine God and the entire Vine Tribe, can the Locust Tribe be completely defeated or even eliminated.
“Da da da…”
The Black Wind Rhino Crescent carried Jiang Xuan back, and the teams from the Teng tribe also set off, preparing to return to the tribe.
Not long after they walked, Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered something, so he looked up and said to the divine vine floating above the forest: "God of vines, after we leave, the locust tribe will definitely attack the tribes near the Great Swamp. Please ask the divine vine to tell the thorny fly tribe to take shelter near the vine tribe for a while."
"good."
Shen Teng agreed immediately and then conveyed Jiang Xuan's words to the Thorny Fly God.
Inside the body of the Thorny Fly God, there is a seed left by the Vine God. Through this seed, the Vine God can communicate with the Thorny Fly God at any time.
Uncaria asked, "Chief, what about the Mountain Turtle Tribe? Should we notify them as well?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "No need. The Mountain Turtle Tribe lives by the water. If they are in danger, they can hide in the Great Swamp. The Locust Tribe can't do anything to them."
Although locusts can fly, they do not like water, and the warriors of the Locust Tribe cannot go into the water to chase them, so as long as the Mountain Turtle Tribe reacts quickly, they will not lose too much.
The facts are similar to Jiang Xuan's guess.
The Turtle God was the best at seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. As soon as the Vine Tribe withdrew, the Mountain Turtle Tribe immediately returned to their residence and immediately packed up their things, even digging up all the crops they had planted, and took refuge in the Great Swamp overnight.
The situation was similar for the Thorny Fly Tribe. After they returned to the tribe, under the instructions of the Thorny Fly God, they immediately packed up their things and headed to the Vine Tribe to seek refuge.
By the time the Locust Tribe arrived at the edge of the Great Swamp and prepared to deal with the two tribes, they had already run away and disappeared without a trace.
Although the Thornfly Tribe and the Mountain Turtle Tribe fled, the other tribes living near the Great Swamp were in a miserable state.
Wherever the locust tribe went, there was no grass left. Whether it was plants, animals, or even entire tribes, they were all devoured by them.
Relying on their powerful strength and crazy plundering, the population and number of locusts in the locust tribe are growing rapidly at a terrifying rate.
…
Ten days later, Teng Tribe.
"Chief, the Sparrow Tribe was destroyed by the Locust Tribe during its migration."
Fengcao hurriedly walked up to Jiang Xuan and reported the latest information to him.
"The Sparrow Tribe was also destroyed. The Locust Tribe acted so quickly."
Jiang Xuan frowned slightly. The expansion speed of the Locust Tribe has reached an extremely exaggerated level. If it continues like this, it won’t be long before the Locust Tribe grows into a real behemoth.
However, Jiang Xuan believed that the locust tribe's expansion model was extremely unhealthy and could not sustain sustainable development.
They absorbed too much population and occupied too much territory in a very short period of time, and there were many internal conflicts.
When expansion and plundering continue, all kinds of contradictions can be temporarily suppressed. Once the advancement stops, all kinds of contradictions will erupt.
For example, there were problems such as food shortage, conflicts between captured tribesmen, and the locust swarms were too large and competed with humans for food.
The entire locust tribe is like a huge snowball. It looks huge and terrifying, but in fact it is full of internal crises. As long as it stops or hits a hard rock, it may fall apart in a very short time.
Of course, before the locust tribe stopped expanding, they were still very scary. Any force that stood in their way had to consider whether they would be crushed to pieces.
"We can't let them continue to expand like this, otherwise they will soon threaten the territory of the Teng Tribe."
Jiang Xuan thought about it carefully, and said to Fengcao: "You Thorn Vine continue to keep an eye on the movements of the Locust Tribe, I will go find the Vine God."
"yes!"
Fengcao left the yard immediately. Since becoming the leader of the thorn vines, she rarely stopped.
Jiang Xuan walked towards the altar in the center of the tribe.
In the center of the Teng Tribe, an extremely huge divine vine stood on the altar, shrouded in misty fog.
Dozens of giant dragonflies perched on the sacred vine, flying up and landing from time to time.
Jiang Xuan walked to the altar and saluted the God Teng: "Greetings to God Teng."
Above the altar, the mist of the sacred vine dissipated a little, and an old face appeared on the huge vine: "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"God Fuji, the locust tribe is expanding more and more. They have wiped out many tribes around the Great Swamp, and have eaten up large tracts of forests. If this continues, it will soon be our turn."
"I think we should strike first. Otherwise, if they continue to grow stronger, our Teng tribe will be in big trouble."
Fujin hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Xuan said: "I have been thinking about this for a long time these days. I think the reason why the Locust Tribe is so strong is because of those mutated locusts. If we can get rid of the locusts, the Locust Tribe will be easy to deal with."
"How to solve it? Continue to burn it with fire?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "The locusts are now distributed over a very wide area. If we use fire to burn them, I'm afraid we will have to burn down all the nearby forests."
"But if we can take down the Locust God, use him to gather all the locusts together, and then burn them to death with fire, it will be much easier."
The vine god said: "The strength of that locust is close to that of the totem god of the great tribe. I can deal with it, but I am worried that it will run away if I cannot defeat it."
After all, the vine god is a plant god. Although he can fly by relying on divine power, his flying speed is not as fast as those animals that can fly naturally.
If the Locust God cannot be defeated and decisively flees, it will be difficult for the Vine God to catch up with him.
Jiang Xuan said: "We can set up an ambush in advance, contact the totem gods of other tribes, and then lure the locust god in. Then it will definitely not be able to escape!"
Fujishen said: "You can give it a try. You can arrange the specific arrangement."
"Thank you, God Teng. I will contact the other tribes right away."
Jiang Xuan was cheered up, then immediately left the altar, came to the open space in front of the altar, and took out a bone whistle.
“Chirp, chirp…”
The melodious sound of the bone whistle, like the sound of birds and deer, echoed in the Teng tribe.
"Eer..."
Tangyuan heard the bone whistle from afar, and then flew over from the distant hilltop. Its huge body stirred up gusts of wind, and its purple feathers reflected the light in the sun.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
“Boom!”
Tangyuan landed on the square, squatted down, and stretched out one of its wings diagonally, pressing against the ground.
Jiang Xuan followed the wings to Tang Yuan's broad back, patted its iron-like feathers, and said, "Let's go to the Giant Claw Tribe."
Tangyuan nodded, contracted his body, kicked his legs hard, and then flapped his wings quickly and flew into the sky.
The Giant Claw Tribe was not called by the Vine Tribe during the locust plague because their location was relatively remote.
But this time, when ambushing the Locust God, Jiang Xuan didn't want any accidents to happen. The more strength he had, the more chances of success he had.
As a subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe, the Giant Claw Tribe must contribute in this battle.
