Talk about the world of mortals in detail
Chapter 306: Kill the locusts first, then the drought
It is actually very simple for Yi Shuyuan to go to heaven to persuade the gods to also help Xingyu.
It is said that God wants to bring disaster, but it is natural, but in fact, it is certain that Dayong has survived this disaster, so what is the number of days? Why?
Whether it is a definite number or not, Yi Shuyuan has personally gone to heaven. If it is not a definite number, he has to make it a definite number, and the gods also have their own considerations.
On the one hand, what Yi Daozi said makes sense, on the other hand, the Dragon Clan's visit to Yun Buyu seems to be a loss of status, but it is actually a responsibility. The Heaven Realm cannot always be at war with the Dragon Clan, and it also means to relax.
In this case, the "rainy season" in Lingdong has arrived.
It was a hot summer, and it rained everywhere in Lingdong, and the frequency was not low.
Naturally, the people in Lingdong and everywhere in the world are not sure of the specific reasons, but in the eyes of the people and court officials, the drought in Lingdong has been resolved. Even if the root cause has not been eliminated, from a mortal perspective, this is indeed the case.
In the fields in Lingdong, crops are coming to life one after another. Some areas that were completely dry are trying to replant other crops, while the crops in many fields have turned green.
However, in this case, the harm of the locust plague became obvious. Abundant rainfall caused vegetation to grow rapidly, and the scale of the locusts also increased day by day.
But compared to fighting a severe drought with no precipitation at all, locusts are at least a visible and tangible opponent.
Yunzhou, Qiancang County, at the moment before sunset today, thousands of people from all over the county and even from villages in neighboring counties gathered in the fields in the southeast corner of the county.
As soon as they heard that they would join Lord Zhenzheng Sima in exterminating locusts, all the villages and towns in Qiancang County and even every village in the city, as long as they could send labor, all responded to the call.
Regardless of men, women, old or young, almost everyone has a long pole with linen hanging on it.
Chu Hang was wearing an arm-baring short bra, holding a long pole in his hand to reveal his strong arms and muscles. County officials, including the magistrate of Asakura County, were similarly dressed.
The environment can really affect or even change a person. These old men who used to be pampered and comfortable in the past now all understand the principle of leading by example.
At this time, Chu Hang yelled with a loud voice that he had developed.
"Folks from Yunzhou, fathers from Qiancang County, Liuwan County has been eaten up by locusts. If we want to keep our fields, we can't slack off -"
Nearly ten thousand people were scattered in various directions. No matter how loud Chu Hang's voice was, it could not reach everyone's ears, but naturally there were people from the government who conveyed it one by one.
As Chu Hang spoke, there was a vague sound getting closer and closer.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz"
This is a terrifying sound, at least to the people of Lingdong today.
From the direction of the hillside over there, a thick black cloud flew close to the ground. Of course, this was not a cloud falling to the ground, but swarms of locusts.
"Put up a red flag, drive away insects, light a fire——"
Chu Hang shouted, and officials immediately rushed to various places to convey instructions.
"Put up a red flag, drive away insects, light a fire——"
"Pass on your orders, erect red flags, drive away insects, and light fires——"
This is a pre-arranged order method, just like the army.
Pole with red cloth hanging on it was erected. Amid the excited shouts of the crowd everywhere, flames made of piles of firewood rose from some special directions measured by experts.
Driving away, burning, digging pits and filling landfills, etc., are Chu Hang's methods of fighting locust swarms head-on.
The overwhelming locusts flew in, and thousands of people fought hard with their poles. Some people fell into blind confusion, but many people followed the original request and lined up in groups to wave the linen cloth and poles together.
The effect of the crowd's conformity stopped some people's chaos. The crowd formed a human wall and drove many locusts toward the flames.
The locusts here don't fly very high. With the concerted efforts of everyone, although many locusts have landed on the crop fields, the drive away is also very effective.
The fire walls formed by the flames do not seem to be too high, but as long as the locusts fly over, even if they do not directly touch the flames, most of their wings will be ignited.
Sparks composed of countless locusts floated in the low sky, and countless locusts fell from the sky.
It’s not just a head-on confrontation. Where locusts have ravaged or stayed, they are bound to leave a large number of eggs.
The climate in Lingdong today is very strange. It may rain once, but the sun will often be scorching in the next few days or even the next day, and the sun's scorching heat is very vicious.
Therefore, Chu Hang ordered people to dig out the soil in the fields and even some wilderness areas where the locusts passed through, and directly use the poisonous sunlight to kill the eggs. The effect was excellent.
Burning and culling them from the front and cutting off their source from the rear was the plan to revitalize the Sima Mansion after soliciting many opinions.
Of course, some people worship the "Locust God" and believe that they need to fear locusts in order to be forgiven. Once discovered, they will be destroyed and those who organize obscene sacrifices will be imprisoned.
When Asakura County was struggling to cull locusts, there were also some charlatans among the crowd, who also joined the common people in culling locusts.
Qi Zhongbin, Mai Lingfei and others were also among them, but they didn't show anything special.
Kill the locusts first, then the drought!
The locusts have already eaten all the crops and vegetation in the two or three counties behind them, and it is inevitable that they will head towards Asakura County.
As the sky gets darker and darker, the phototaxis of the locusts brings the swarms of insects closer to the flames. In an instant, the sky is extinguished, taking off and falling again.
In order to prepare to deal with the locust swarm at nightfall, almost all the crops in the previous county were sacrificed, and then the night-time human-insect war ushered in.
On the hilltop in the distance, a shadow that had grown to more than three feet long was surrounded by countless locusts. It looked towards the fields in the distance, where there were clusters of fires rising into the sky.
Despite such a long distance, the insect demon felt a kind of fire coming towards his face. This was not just the feeling brought by the fire of the pyre.
However, during this period of time, the insect demon has become too arrogant. He only feels that he is a natural disaster and that he is the locust god. He even tastes the feeling of being worshiped by mortals. The incense and willpower make him fascinated like drinking nectar.
The eye that had been injured by Mai Lingfei had now healed. With his compound eyes staring into the distance, he almost instinctively spotted Chu Hang who was fighting locusts with the people.
When its eyes looked at Chu Hang, the insect demon only felt that its eyes were slightly burning, but it was filled with hatred and gnashed its teeth.
Sima Lingdong, you destroyed my sacred offerings, arrested my believers, and killed my heirs. It is really abominable!
I am a plague of locusts sent from heaven. I am a disaster sent by heaven. How can you and other mortals be able to contend with it?
The insect monster flaps its wings, hides among the dense locusts, and flies towards the fire in the distant fields. Mortals are very fragile, and they can break bones and separate flesh with just a wave of their sickle limbs!
It's just that the closer it gets, the insect demon seems to be able to feel the chaos of countless locusts and the pain of countless locusts being burned by fire. The insects may not have subjective thinking, but they have instincts and will have fear before death.
This actually made the insect demon feel depressed and confused, and there was an intense burning heat that made it increasingly unbearable.
In the past, it used similar methods to deal with mortal warriors, leaving innate masters helpless, but now I feel it even more strongly.
Kill him, kill Lingdong Sima!
"Buzz buzz buzz."
The sounds of the endless locusts seemed to turn into howls. The insect demon shook his head and looked at the large number of mortals, as if they were an endless sea of fire.
"Zheng——"
There was a clear sword cry, as if a bucket of ice water was poured into the insect demon's heart, and the heat just turned into severe cold in an instant.
"Ah ho."
The monsters howled like ghosts crying and wolves howling, which frightened many people who were driving away the locusts. Chu Hang even looked into the distance, knowing that Tianshi, Mai Daxia and others were taking action.
Mai Lingfei took advantage of his unpreparedness and struck with his sword. Although he failed to kill the insect demon with one blow, he directly cut off the insect demon's two legs, causing the insect demon to suffer terribly.
"Youkai, we didn't even decide the winner last time!"
At this moment, the insect demon was so frightened that it gave up on Lingdong Sima. It did not directly confront him, and even flew away without saying a word.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The insect demon brought up a gust of wind, and even carried away many locusts.
Want to run? Mai Lingfei held the sword in his hand, and with his deeper understanding of monsters, his mood was completely different.
The sword in his hand was pointed directly at the monster. The sword's edge broke through the swarm of insects, just like a sharp cone dividing water, and went straight towards the locusts. When the locusts fled, there was a thunderous sound.
"Setting up the net——"
Swish~swish~swish~
There were actually hundreds of martial arts warriors from all sides who lowered their poles and showed up. Some flew into the air and others took over. Large nets suddenly rose from the ground everywhere, and there were bells hanging on the nets, blocking the path of the insect demon.
When the locusts completely gathered and caused a disaster, the insect demons were not easy to find, but it was different now. Although the location was still uncertain, there was a high probability that the insect demons would be there wherever the locust swarms went.
However, there is one thing that the insect monster was not wrong about. It is also part of the disaster now, and it needs the help of human power to really kill it, otherwise it may "turn disaster into good luck".
"Block it!"
The warrior yelled, it was really exciting to be able to kill monsters today.
"Bang~"
The insect demon ignored it and rushed towards one of the large nets that was too close to escape. The moment it touched the big net, it felt lightning and pain. The four warriors who opened the net were directly carried away together, flying with the evil wind. toward the sky.
"Careful!" "Grab the net!"
"Don't let the monster get away!"
The warriors below jumped up one by one with Qinggong. Everyone grabbed the net, and more people grabbed the former and tore the net off forcefully.
I don’t know what kind of material this net is made of, and no matter how hard the insect demon tore it, it couldn’t be torn apart immediately.
A group of people were dragging nets and being dragged on the ground by the monsters. Some warriors used their weapons to hit the insect monsters, but they often had no effect. The hard carapace of the locusts was even more exaggerated on the monsters, but those stabbed in the abdomen. Weapons can often cause insect monsters to howl.
Mai Lingfei chased after him from behind, jumped into the sky, and dropped his sword in the air.
"Dang~"
The forefoot wrapped in demon energy blocked the sword, but how could this insect monster compete with humans in martial arts? Mai Lingfei's sword turned in the air, and the long sword directly cut off two tentacles with a twist.
"Pfft~" "Pfft~"
"Roar--"
The moment the insect demon was in pain, Mai Lingfei actually landed on its back, using his innate energy to strike downwards.
"Bang~"
"Boom~"
The huge insect's body was actually hit by this powerful palm and fell into the field. The people being dragged around were also able to stop their bodies and find places to borrow strength. Countless weapons fell like rain for a while. Since the strong carapace was useless, Then let's all go to the soft place.
When the people around him saw this movement, they were frightened and moved away.
Mai Lingfei was carrying his sword. Just when he was about to stab him, he was jolted violently by the insect demon. His body was unstable, but he still swung his sword and cut off half of the insect demon's flapping wings.
"Ouch——"
The insect demon was in agony. It had just shaken away the warriors and broke free from the big net, but it couldn't fly and crashed into the burning pyre on one side.
"Boom~~"
The burning firewood exploded, and the insect demon's wings were also ignited. It was even more exaggerated than pouring fire oil on it.
"Is there a monster?" "It's really a monster——"
"Bless me from the Holy Lord!"
Some of the people who were culling the locusts saw the huge locusts and exclaimed in surprise.
"I ate you—"
In pain, the insect demon had a desperate thought. It used its remaining insect legs and wings to maintain balance and rushed towards Mai Lingfei. The demonic aura around it brought about gusts of demonic wind, and countless locusts gathered towards it.
"Well done!"
A Fei was not afraid, he broke into the locust swarm and rushed towards the insect demon based on his feeling.
The surrounding warriors took torches and waved them at the edge of the insect swarm, while inside was the confrontation between the warriors and the monsters.
During the whole process, Qi Zhongbin did not show up. Of course, he was observing all changes in the situation, knowing that there was no need to show up. The change in the disaster situation at this moment was also the best time to make a fortune.
"Ouch——"
Qi Zhongbin's heart suddenly moved amidst the insect demon's miserable howl.
With the loss of another calamity, Lingdong's energy has become clearer.
At this moment, even Yi Shuyuan, who was seeing rain in the sky elsewhere in the east of Tailing, felt something in his heart. A white dragon looked at the distant corner of Mozhou in the wind and rain.
The things that caused the drought have been driven out of the three core states of Lingdong by the continuous rain, and have reached the relatively peripheral Mozhou.
It was also at this moment that Yi Shuyuan had a clear understanding in his heart, it was really Han Bao!
