It was already bright, like a tribe, and the atmosphere was terrible.

Not far away, the burned house collapsed in the ashes, and some places were still emitting a few wisps of blue smoke.

Baiya and other totem warriors stood in front of the leader Ze, not daring to breathe. Bei stood behind him, lowering his head and not talking.

Next to them were several corpses, very thin, covered with thick gray-black paint, and the appearance could not be seen clearly.

A totem warrior whispered to Ze: "The leader is from the Rat Tribe. Their totem gods are best at disguising and digging holes. Our people did not discover it at the first time. Even the elephant gods were only warned after they approached."

Ze said with a gloomy face: "How many things have been stolen?"

"Six ivory, twenty-one bags of food, eighteen animal skins, forty-three animal teeth..."

The more Ze heard, his face became darker. The loss this time was too great. He was filled with a terrible aura, and the power of totem rushed in his body, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.

"Damn the Rat Tribe, kill them sooner or later!"

Ze roared, but in fact he felt very helpless.

The Rat Tribe is different from other tribes. The Rat Tribe lives in a cave. Where they live, several mountains have been dug everywhere. As long as someone goes, they will quickly hide deep in the cave and hide it, which is difficult to find.

Because of this, the Rat Tribe stole many tribes and was hated by many tribes, but they had no choice but to do anything to them.

The same is true for tribes. You can only suffer this mute loss. Be careful next time.

Baiya stood in front of Ze. He had been struggling for a long time, but finally he still gritted the bullet and told what happened last night.

"In fact, the leader Chen of the Mang tribe reminded me last night that someone invaded the tribe and asked me to warn the tribe, but I didn't believe it..."

"What did you say?"

Ze's anger was picked up again. He grabbed Baiya's leather jacket and stared at him fiercely.

"Why didn't you report it to me at that time?"

"I...I didn't find any abnormality at that time, and I think if someone really invaded, the Totem God should have discovered it earlier than the outside world, so...so..."

Baiya's voice became less and less, and her face was filled with guilt and self-blame.

"idiot!"

Ze threw Baiya on the ground and took several breaths before calming himself down.

In fact, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Baiya. If Ze was there at the scene, he might not have believed Chen Bei's words.

The reason is the same as Baiya said, they believe in the totem god more than a person who falls outside.

However, this incident has increased Ze's favorability for the Mang tribe a lot. Chenbei was the first to discover the invaders and his strength is also worthy of recognition.

"Where are the people from the Mang Tribe?" Ze asked.

Baiya replied: "They have been staying where they are and have never left."

Ze nodded and said, "Go and take a look."

The Mang tribe did not leave randomly last night, which made Ze's heart's evaluation of Chen Bei a little higher. In that chaos, if the people from the Mang tribe ran around, the people from the Elephant tribe would inevitably suspect that they had the motivation to take advantage of the situation.

Ze walked to the place where everyone in the Mang tribe was located and met Chenbei.

"Chief Chen, you were frightened last night."

"Has the invader caught it?" Chen Bei asked.

Ze shook his head and said, "I only killed a few, most of them ran away, and stole a lot of things."

Then, Ze told the story of the Rat Tribe.

"It's really hard to deal with such a tribe."

Chen Bei thought of the Chuanshan tribe, and he also liked to drill holes. Where they live, there were holes everywhere. Even if other tribes wanted to hit them, it would be difficult for them to find them in the dense caves.

Ze said: "We are also blamed for being careless. Next time, if they dare to come again, it will not be so easy to escape."

Chen Bei nodded. He believed that after this time, the Xiang tribe would definitely be guarding against enemies from the underground.

Chen Bei thought about it carefully and said, "Actually, if you can find a place where they live, there is still a way to deal with them."

"What's the solution?" Ze asked hurriedly.

"Smoke!"

Chen Bei remembered the smoked field mice in his previous life. As long as he found the field mouse cave, then lit the fire at the entrance and covered it with grass, thick smoke would appear. The thick smoke would enter the field mouse cave. The field mice could not bear the smoke, and would run out and be caught.

Chen Bei told Ze the specific process, and Ze nodded frequently when he heard it, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"Why didn't I think of this method? Chief Chen, you are so smart!"

Most tribes use fire to cook food or burn things. Even if some tribes use smoked animal meat, they did not expect that smoke could still be used to hunt.

Therefore, after Chen Bei spoke out the smoke method, Ze felt a sudden realization.

Chen Beidao: "Since their tribe is good at stealing things, they must have hidden a lot of good things. If they can be smoked out, not only the stolen things can be brought back, but there must be a lot of other gains."

Ze said magnanimously: "Captain Chen, if you can really smoke them out, our two tribes will be half-divided!"

"Okay, that's what it means to decide."

Ze discussed the specific details with Chen Bei. Yun of the Mang tribe and Baiya of the Xiang tribe jointly took people to find the place where the Rat Tribe is, while the others prepared smoked materials and weapons, waiting to attack the Rat Tribe.

"The best material used to smoke is peat in the swamp."

Ze and Chenbei, and some of the totem warriors from two tribes went to a swamp not far from the Xiang tribe to dig peat.

As he walked, Ze explained to Chenbei: "After our tribe moved here, we discovered the swamp, and later we also discovered the peat in the swamp, and we often used it as fuel."

"The dried peat will cause blue flames to appear when it is burned, but if it is not dried, a lot of thick smoke will appear when it is burned, which is very choking."

Chen Bei listened with relish. He had never seen swamps or peats in his past or present life, but he had heard of such things.

So Chenbei was very curious. He wanted to know what the swamp looked like and what the peat looked like.

They walked south and on the way, Chenbei saw the place where the Xiang tribe planted rice. It was a fertile wetland full of silt and there were many rice poles there.

After passing through the wetlands, they finally arrived at a swamp.

This swamp is in the forest, with a very wide area, with some low shrubs growing inside, but in more places, there are weeds and puddles everywhere.

Ze talked to Chenbeidao: "This place is very dangerous. Don't look at the grass growing lushly, but if you step on it, it will immediately sink and eventually swallow everyone."

"When our tribe first came here, many totem warriors were swallowed by this swamp, and they could not even find their bones."

Chen Bei asked, "Then how do we dig peat?"

Ze said: "We can dig in places without water and come with me."

Ze took Chenbei to the other side of the swamp, where there was a place that had been excavated.

Ze dug a piece of dark brown soil from the ground, with mud on it and a lot of plant fibers. It tastes bad and feels very moist.

"Chief Chen, this is peat."

Chen Bei took the peat, looked carefully, and said, "Who would have thought that this thing could be used to burn it."

Ze said: "Yes, when I saw it catch fire for the first time, I found it incredible, but I got used to it as I watched it."

Soon, the totem warriors they brought began to dig peat, then put them in a vine basket, and put them on the back of mammoths and rhinos to hunch them back.
