Ye Xi was also very happy when he saw the old man: "Mantis Feather, it's you!"

Seeing that Ye Xi recognized him, Mantis Yu smiled even brighter. A dirty face, revealing two rows of shiny teeth.

Ye Xi saw that the fire line was full of people, and said, "Are you putting out the fire?"

Mantis Feather scratched her hair and said with a wry smile, "Yes, a big fireball fell from the sky, causing the forest to burn." We were afraid that the fire would reach our tribe, so now all the tribes are helping to put out the fire. ”

The people around didn't talk for long, and after looking at Ye Xi in surprise, they all hurriedly continued to put out the fire.

Ye Xi noticed that there were a lot of wells dug near this side, and there were soldiers standing nearby, constantly drawing water from the wells, and then handing the buckets full of water to the others, who carried the buckets and rushed to the vicinity of the fire line to extinguish the fire.

Because of the limited amount of water, most of the people took animal skins to fight the fires, and repeatedly beat the small flames that had just been lit to extinguish them one by one.

But forest fires are so easy to extinguish.

Even modern societies with advanced technology are helpless when encountering forest fires, so they can only create isolation belts and wait for them to be extinguished naturally.

And this simple way to extinguish the fire, the fire here did not spread completely, it could only be ......

"Did you just drop a fireball?" Ye Xi asked.

Mantis Feather looked at him in surprise: "Yes, it was originally just near the river." When we noticed that something was wrong, we immediately went there to extinguish the fire, but we couldn't put out the fire at all, but it burned more and more, spreading to this side. We can only retreat and extinguish now. ”

Ye Xi noticed that the faces of the people around him were tired, and they were coughing incessantly because of the smoke.

Some staggered out of the smoke-filled line of fire and stumbled to the rear, where a circle of smoke-drowsy people sat in a crowded circle, and in the middle stood a sorcerer with a bone staff in his hand.

When someone is too smoky to stand it, the sorcerer will perform witchcraft and heal them with witchcraft.

And when they recovered, they continued to jump up and rush towards the smoke and flames.

Not far away, there are people from the burrowing rabbit tribe who are digging wells all the time.

Don't look at the few wells in this vicinity, but they are constantly digging wells near the fire line as the line of fire advances, and they have drilled thousands of wells since the fire.

When the burrowing rabbits came out of the well, their faces were covered with dirt, and the long ears on their heads hung listlessly, and they looked extremely tired.

Ye Xi sighed in his heart.

In order to protect their homeland, they also did their best.

Mantis finally remembered and asked Ye Xi, "By the way, Ye Xi, why are you here?"

Ye Xi breathed for a moment, his eyes showed real pain, and he said in a low voice: "...... We didn't just drop a fireball, the fire spread so fast that there wasn't even a place left in the end. I had no choice but to leave with my people. ”

There was a look of shock and sympathy in his eyes, and he asked dryly, "Where are your clansmen now?"

Ye Xi: "They are resting on the other side of the river, I'll come over to the neighborhood to see the road first." ”

Mantis Yu didn't know what to say for a while, but just looked at Ye Xi at a loss. His home was destroyed, and whatever comforting words he said paled pale.

Ye Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, we can find a new place to live, as long as there are people." ”

"That's it, that's it, it's okay if people are fine!" mantis feather hurriedly echoed loudly.

Ye Xi looked at the smoke and said, "If you put out the fire like this, I'm afraid you can only slow down the fire, and the fire can't be extinguished." ”

Mantis Yu sighed and said, "We know it, but there's no other way." ”

Ye Xi smiled: "There is another stupid way." ”

Mantis Feather: "?"

"You can make a fire barrier and clear all the trees and grass on a line so that the fire can't burn. ”

Mantis Feather looked at Ye Xi, and gradually his eyes widened, and then he slapped the back of his head suddenly, almost jumping: "That's right! Why didn't we think of it before! I think this method can be controlled!"

"Well," Ye Xi said after thinking about it, "Remember that the place where the tree is cut should be separated from the fire line by some distance, so as not to catch fire at the other end of the barrier, otherwise the effort will be in vain." ”

"Okay!" Mantis Feather looked at Ye Xi gratefully and excitedly, "Thank you Ye Xi!"

Ye Xi: "You're welcome. I'm going to bring my people over now and help you cut down the trees together. ”

Mantis Yu waved his hand again and again: "How embarrassing is this, no need!"

"It's okay, just a hand. ”

Mantis Feather didn't refuse, after all, it was about their homeland, and more people would do more. He took a deep breath and said, "Ye Xi, I'll go and tell the others about this method first! Let's start cutting down trees right away!"

............

Here, the mantis feathers ran along the line of fire to tell everyone about this method, and over there, Ye Xi returned to the river bank with the big buzzard, and then briefly told everyone about the situation here.

I don't know if it's a herd mentality, but in the end everyone decided to follow Ye Xi and help the tribes in the Nu River Valley create an isolation zone together.

Ye Xi led thousands of people from various tribes in the Black Ridge Mountain Range to return to the vicinity of the line of fire.

It took a lot of effort back and forth, and the mantis feathers had all been notified, and the people in the Nu River Valley had given up fighting the fire and started cutting down trees, and there was a clattering sound of trees cutting trees everywhere.

The people of the Blackridge tribes didn't say much, and scattered to various areas like flowing water, and also began to help cut down trees.

Everyone has their own means to create a barrier together.

The bulls of the Horn tribe lowered their heads and slammed their horns against the trunk of the tree repeatedly. With the fluttering sawdust, cracks appeared in the trunk, and finally it fell down with a creaking groan.

The moa of the Gongtao tribe, with two thick and powerful legs, flew up and kicked hard at the tree trunk. It can easily kick a leg that breaks a person's bones, and it doesn't take a few kicks to knock down a tree that the three of them are hugging together.

Thousands of treemen stood in a row, their brown spots on their skin sprouting thin, flexible filaments and twisting towards the tree. These strands are like steel wires, and the big trees are twisted one by one by the filaments and fall down with a bang.

Most of the people of the various tribes cut down trees with knives and axes.

Ye Xi was very efficient at cutting down trees, and almost two breaths had a tree fall in his hands.

He hadn't been long before he saw the sparkling black thorn hurrying towards him. He was excited and happy when he saw Ye Xi, and hugged him hard: "Ye Xi, it's so good that you're still alive!"

Ye Xi was also very happy to see that the black thorn was intact, put down the tooth knife, and slapped his shoulder with a smile.

Blackthorn didn't stay long, and when he saw that Ye Xi was fine, he left in a hurry, after all, it was important to put out the fire.

It didn't take long for Ju to ride the liger beast over again, he didn't jump off the back of the liger beast, he just looked at him condescendingly and said, "Ye Xi, it's okay if you're okay, you must fight me again when the matter here is over, I won't lose this time!"

Ju didn't wait for Ye Xi to reply, and after throwing off this sentence, he rode away on the lion and tiger beast.

Ye Xi, who was cutting down the tree, looked at the back of the torch and was stunned, and then laughed dumbly.

It can be seen that the torch is haunted by that failure, and he actually runs over now.

Last time, the Torch of the Tree Human Race's long-distance team did not participate because of something, and the Torch naturally had no chance to compete with Ye Xi again. Later, although Ye Xi came back once, Ye Xi had already left after waiting for the torch to get the news and hurriedly came. And this time, as soon as Ju got the news, he hurried over, for fear that Ye Xi would slip away again.

After a while, Chief Gongtao came over with a complicated face, and he hesitated in place for a long time before he whispered: "I'm sorry, we haven't thanked you properly last time you helped us bring news." ”

Ye Xi shook his head: "It's okay. ”

"We figured it out later on our own, you don't have to lie to us about anything, that news must be true, it's us wrong. Chief Gongtao said ashamedly.

Ye Xi said gently: "I understand you, you don't need to apologize to me, and I just completed the task that the Qingyang clan elder asked me to do." ”

Seeing what the Gongtao chief wanted to say, Ye Xi raised his hand and said, "If you have anything to say later, let's put out the fire first." ”

Chief Gongtao was stunned and said okay.
