Xuerong did not dare to stay in Qianji Valley for a long time. On the surface, the canyon did not look dangerous, but who could guarantee that there would be no accidents?
What's more, he is not alone now, and has his mother, the soul cultivator, by his side.
For fear of an accident, Xue Rong held her head still in pain and flew the magic weapon outside the Qiangu Garden barrier. After confirming that it was safe, she put the magic weapon into her sleeves and walked into the barrier.
Before entering the barrier, he was worried that his mother's soul in the Ruyi House would be repelled by the barrier's power. It was not until he entered the barrier and stepped on the grass of Qiangu Garden that his worried heart fell to the ground.
Qianguen is a safe city with high security.
Xue Rong felt relieved, took out the magic weapon in her sleeves and put it on the grass. She entered the magic weapon herself, opened the magic array to block outside prying eyes, told her mother that it was safe, and sat down to adjust her breathing.
Soul Bear knew that the cub had entered Qiangu Garden, so he didn't go out to wander around and continued to practice in Ruyi House.
The stewards of Qianguyuan watched the monk from the Snow Bear Clan enter the barrier, and felt that his soul was weak, so they stopped paying attention when they saw that he had entered the magic weapon.
Xuerong went into seclusion to recuperate, and it took half a month for her nutrients to fully recover. She rushed to the planting area immediately to find Fairy Xiyue's dolls to find out if Fairy Xiyue had come out.
Calabash Baby did not let the beast cultivator enter the planting field, and went out of the spirit gathering array alone to meet with the beast cultivator.
After a brief meeting, Xuerong knew that Fairy Xiyue and Buddha Cultivator had not come out yet, so after careful consideration, she decided to go and get the planting task.
Fairy Xiyue only entered the Secret Valley a year after the insect wave ended. He stayed in the Secret Valley for more than five years. In terms of time, it is almost the eighteenth year since the secret realm opened, and it is only a few years until the second wave of bugs comes.
Three or four years.
He planned to wait for the second wave of insects to pass before going to other safe cities.
Xuerong told her mother about her plan, and with her mother's support, she went to the management office to take over a planting task.
He is self-aware and knows that he is not the most suitable type of monk for planting, so he only received ten spiritual fields to plant low-level and mid-level fairy rice.
The stewards knew that the beast cultivator was one of the only three monks who had entered the secret valley so far, so no one asked him for information.
Xuerong followed the steward to the planting area. After the steward marked out the spiritual field for her, she entered the spirit gathering array and carefully cleaned up the spiritual field and planted it.
There are not many planting fields for the cub, and the cub does not allow himself to help. The soul bear spends most of his time practicing, and occasionally goes to the spirit field to lighten his mood.
When the beast cultivator was thrown out by the will of the tree spirit, the Buddha cultivator was still opening up territory in the highlands and hills. He broke through one obstacle after another and continued to advance towards the inner perimeter of the hills.
And the little loli is killing insects.
Classmate Le Xiao led a group of child soldiers and the Silver Star Nine Brothers in the bamboo forest to collect a large number of spring bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots, bamboo bird's nests and bamboo fungus, as well as bamboo that could be used as barrels, and then continued to march north.
There was no stopping on the way north, and we kept going day and night.
After flying day and night for a year, one day she passed through a forest that had been ravaged by an insect plague, and the little Loli stopped to investigate.
The forest area that is ravaged by insects is very wide, with a width of more than 20 million miles from north to south and a length of more than 50 million miles from east to west.
The insect that wreaks havoc on the forest is locusts. They not only eat leaves and twigs, but also the bark of spiritual trees.
Only the dryads in the forest who could move escaped. Those dryads that were intelligent but could not move were not spared either, and were divided up by the locust army.
Little Loli studied the origin of the bug and discovered that it was not a locust native to the Divine Tree Realm. The genes of the locust were the same ancestor as the wave of locusts that Qianji Valley had just experienced.
It is currently unknown how the alien locusts entered the Secret Valley of Qian Ji. Anyway, they successfully invaded the Secret Valley, and their descendants are causing harm to the forests of the Secret Valley.
The descendants of alien locusts have existed in the Secret Valley for an unknown length of time. Their genes have not been compensated, and they still have the disadvantage of low intelligence. They rely entirely on insect instincts to survive.
However, you said that their IQs are not high, but the collective concept of the descendants of the alien locusts is very strong. They are very united and maintain the excellent style of living in groups.
When Le Yun followed the traces left by the Zerg and caught up with the locust team, hundreds of millions of descendants of the alien locusts were moving towards the east.
The oldest locust in the swarm is only three years old, and the smallest is a new generation that hatched within half a year.
The locusts that developed into a swarm laid a large number of eggs along the way.
The bloodline power of the alien locusts is very powerful. Even if their descendants have been passed down for countless generations in the secret valley, their descendants still inherit a weak ray of underworld energy.
Because they have inherited the dark energy from their ancestors' bloodlines, the lifespan of the descendants of the alien locusts in the sacred tree world is affected. They can live about seven thousand years.
Locusts from other worlds only have a lifespan of a hundred years in the Qingxu God Realm. The descendants they left behind after invading the Secret Valley have a lifespan of seven thousand years, which increases their lifespan by 700 times.
There are locusts in the insect swarm that have evolved to the second or third level due to devouring the soul or heart of the spiritual tree, and there are even a dozen fourth-level locusts.
Locusts are causing trouble in the forest, and the Wood people are also trying to save themselves. Many tree demons hide in the woods to kill the locusts.
There are also many flying bird monsters and carnivorous monsters who also take the opportunity to catch locusts for food. The monsters do not dare to go deep into the locust swarm, but catch insects from the side or in the air, and then leave when they are full.
After catching up with the locust army, Le Yun also collected enough first-hand information, got tens of thousands of miles ahead of the locust swarm, opened an interception line about a million miles long, and laid out insect trapping circles one after another.
At this time, the puppets once again came into play. The blue-armored puppets became the defenders of the array. Each array burned giant incense or placed pills.
The little Loli was generous and prepared a high-grade poisonous incense for the locusts. Whenever the locusts enter the area filled with the aroma, they will fall down if they smell the incense for more than half a minute.
The locust army marched very fast, and it took only half a month to reach the scent coverage area of the incense array set up by the human race.
However, Le Xiao's interception defense line has not yet been deployed, and there is a locust zone about 50,000 miles long and no formations have been set up in front.
Little Loli was forced to move her position forward more than 10,000 miles.
She was working overtime to set up the formation, and on the other side, the locusts that entered the aroma formation area were poisoned and fell to the ground one after another.
The forest is dense. After the poisoned locusts land, they are covered by tree crowns or plants. The locusts behind them cannot be seen. They enter the aroma array one after another and die in groups. The locust corpses accumulate thicker and thicker.
Locusts that fall in rivers, ponds, and lakes become delicious meals for monsters in the water.
Monsters that prey on locusts find that the locust swarms disappear when they enter a certain area. They all hide far away and do not dare to set foot in the area where the locusts disappeared.
When the locusts behind saw a large number of corpses of their own kind, the locust swarm also reached a dead end: all the insect monsters with the highest level died, and the rest were the new generation insects at the early stage of the first level. They had no survival experience and low IQs.
, will not organize the evacuation or self-rescue of fellow tribesmen.
The first-order locusts also followed in the footsteps of their predecessors and stayed in the incense array forever.
There are so many locust swarms that it is naturally impossible to catch them all in one fell swoop. There are also many locusts on the outermost edges of the team that have strayed from their direction and have slipped through the net.
Those fish that slipped through the net will be surrounded and suppressed by tree demons. Even if some locusts escape in the end, they will not become popular in the short term.
After killing the main force of the locust army, Le Yun first asked the puppet to extinguish the incense or put away the pills, leaving resources to deal with the new generation of insects behind.
The next step is to clean up the battlefield and arrange for the puppets and puppet beasts to go into the forest to collect insect corpses.
The little Loli and her puppet army worked hard for half a month to pick up all the insect corpses, and the tree demons also "picked up" a large number of insect corpses.
Le Yun didn't mind the dryads picking up corpses. She "communicated" with the tree when setting up the formation. She helped the forest get rid of locusts and asked the dryads not to attack her puppet beast.
She didn't know if the trees understood. Anyway, the dryads did not attack her puppet beasts when they were cleaning the battlefield. She also regarded the dryads as agreeing to the agreement and acquiescing to the dryads' behavior of taking advantage.
The tree demon dragged the insect corpse deep into the ground, buried it, and then slowly absorbed it.
The demon tree has a well-developed root system, and each tree has dragged away more than 10,000 locusts. Fortunately, they are sparsely distributed, and there is usually only one demon tree for 10,000 miles.
After the puppet army cleared the battlefield, the new generation hatched from the locust eggs was also on its way to the fragrant array area.
The little Loli asked the blue-armored puppet who was guarding the formation to wait and see again. She turned around and went to the hatching locust egg area to hunt nymphs and collect trees whose bark had been gnawed away by insects to use as firewood.
Calculate that the new generation of locusts will soon arrive before the incense array, then rush back, watch the march of the locust swarm, and timely order the puppet guards guarding the array to "serve" the locusts.
The locusts laid so many eggs that it took Little Loli and her puppets eight months to destroy the offspring of the locust army.
After cleaning the battlefield, Le Yun led the puppets into the disaster area that had been ravaged by locusts, collected a large number of dead spiritual trees as firewood, and then continued northward.
It wasn't until she drove the spirit boat for several days that she realized that the finger-sized mini golden lotus in the sea of consciousness had actually grown a bit.
"Why did Jin Lian grow up?" Le Yun was so shocked that she asked a hundred thousand reasons.
The ancient stone mortar lying in the golden lotus of merit responded: "Xiao Xiyue, you are wondering why this little golden lotus of merit has grown a circle, right?"
"That's right. I haven't done any good deeds to save lives and heal the wounded. Where does the merit come from?" The only power that can increase the golden lotus of merit is merit.
"Didn't you just save countless trees?" Shijiu wanted to touch the little contractor's head. Hey, the little contractor was not only kind, but also innocent. I wanted to touch his head!
"Is there any merit in doing this?" She exterminated pests just because she didn't like the offspring of locusts from another world, and she didn't want to see them as a disaster. She never thought that she would gain merit.
Besides, she expended the merit power of the Golden Lotus to exorcise the will of the tree spirit, but did not receive any reward afterwards. Why did she gain merit by killing a wave of insects?
"It is a meritorious deed to save weak creatures who have suffered unreasonable disasters, and it is also a meritorious deed to save innocent vegetation."
"This merit is so easy to come by." Le Yun grinned. She had already obtained a large number of insect corpses in the exterminator, but she still got the merit for nothing and made a lot of money!
The tool spirit of Shijiu smiled quietly, Xiao Xiyue is so cute, I must take human form and touch her head if I have the chance!
