Chapter 40 Strange Attack! Unusual Threat
"This matter must be taken seriously. Walking south for more than half a day from the collapse area, we are close to Zuoqiu's main farmland. There is no room for loss in the autumn harvest!"
Hu Yangui looked at Zuo Qiuyue, who was sitting diagonally opposite. The latter responded with a stern face: "I have sent someone to check, and the situation is not optimistic."
As she spoke, she handed two copies of the information.
"Yesterday, two terraces of our tribe were destroyed from below, but fortunately they were only growing ordinary crops.
But if this development continues, it is likely to affect the jade and wheat in the main field..."
"Destroy from below?"
Hu Yangui raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Nalan Xiao on the other side.
"Chief Shrewd, the underground king Gurumi has always been under your surveillance, right?"
"This matter has nothing to do with Gurumi. It has never left the God-given city."
Nalan Xiao's face was calm as usual, and he said slowly:
"Both leaders, you Lao, will send more manpower to the northwest and southwest regions to ensure food security.
As for the unusual movements underground... I will take Gulumi to find out."
"That guy is a monster underground! How could he be allowed to..."
Hu Yangui subconsciously objected, but Zuo Qiuyue raised his hand to stop him: "Chief Shrewd is a person favored by God, and he will do things in a measured way!"
…
Later in the evening, Nalan Xiao returned to his residence and rubbed his brows with a slight headache.
Zuo Qiuyue seemed to be rescuing her, but in fact he also put a lot of pressure on her.
"I am the most favored by the gods, so I no longer have the qualifications to make mistakes..."
Nalan Xiao smiled helplessly and walked to the next room.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the blue-haired girl waking up from her nap inside!
"...Ah! I'm not lazy. This batch of crystal vines has been prepared, and the next batch hasn't been delivered yet..."
Gurumi hurriedly braced herself to explain, but could not hide the tired look on her face.
Since he pledged his allegiance to Wang Hui, he was assigned to be Nalan Xiao's assistant.
He barely had a full day's rest.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
For the anticipated construction of the God-given City and subsequent housing additions, Gurumi is responsible for at least one-third of the workload!
There is also the work of cultivating crystal vines, which is extremely arduous every day.
Even if Nalanxiao wanted to take revenge, seeing Gulumi haggard till now, he felt a little soft-hearted.
"It's not Jing Teng's business. You should rest more tonight."
As she spoke, she brought over a plate of hot food, both meat and vegetable, which looked very appetizing.
"real?"
Gulumi's purple eyes lit up, she grabbed the plate and wolfed it down.
Nalanxu sat aside and waited until she was almost done eating before she explained her purpose of coming and detailed the attack in the western region.
"You have lived underground for many years, have you ever seen such a large underground creature?"
"The tentacles I made... which is what you call the purple-skinned monster are already the largest. There is no bigger one."
Gulumi wiped the corners of her mouth, patted her swollen belly and sighed:
"It's not impossible. After all, I haven't been underground for a long time. Who knows what weird things are growing down there?"
Nalan Xiao pretended not to understand Gurumi’s complaint and then asked:
"If I take you there, are you sure you can subdue that thing?"
"Can I leave the city?"
Gurumi immediately sat up straight, patted her chest and said proudly: "I am the king of the underground!
Unless God himself takes action, or you are surrounded by tens of thousands of people, who can defeat me underground?"
After a pause, it was slightly discouraged:
"But I've been very tired recently and need to rest for a while to regain my full strength."
Nalan nodded and agreed: "Okay!"
…
[The eighth year of the coming of God], September 11th.
Nalan Xiao and Gulumi rode a carriage and hurried to the western hills.
In fact, the underground king's body has not fully recovered, but the situation is deteriorating too fast, and there is no time to delay.
In just five days, the number of farmlands attacked has increased to 33!
You must know that the three tribes have entered a period of recuperation and recuperation after the war, and are in the baby boom stage with a surge in population.
Once food production is severely hit, many people may go hungry again!
"Meet the cunning leader!"
On the outskirts of the farmland, a group of soldiers wearing aluminum armor came to greet him.
"No need to be polite."
Nalanxiao got off the carriage and asked in a deep voice: "Master Longzhuo and Master Tang arrived half a day before us. Did they have any direct fight with the things underground?"
"have…"
The soldiers looked at each other, lowered their heads and replied: "The two adults were seriously injured and are being treated in the camp."
"What?"
Nalan Xiao was startled when he heard this.
Huyan Longzhuo and Zuo Qiutang are both masters with god-given weapons!
Especially the former, whose strength is the first among the servants of God.
With Zuoqiutang assisting from the side, he would actually lose the battle?
Looking around, the terraces are sunken downwards, and most of the crops that should have been full of food have disappeared.
There were obvious signs of fighting in many places, and it looked like a mess.
"The monster that Longzhuo and Tang couldn't defeat even though they worked together..."
Nalan Xiao looked away with a solemn expression.
He called Gulumi, who was distracted, and quickly came to the temporary camp tent, where he saw the injured two people.
Huyan Longzhuo is not bad, at least I can lean on my body while sitting.
And Zuo Qiutang was lying next to him, already in a semi-conscious state.
There was a strong smell of medicinal herbs floating in the tent. Several doctors had just applied ointment to the two of them and tied a layer of white cloth on the outside to secure it.
This was a bandaging method that Wang Hui casually mentioned, and Nalan Xiao secretly noted it down and gradually popularized it.
"What on earth could hurt you like this?"
Nalan Xiao knelt down to check, frowning involuntarily.
There were at least more than ten wounds on the two people's bodies, and each one was almost bone deep!
Although the treatment of cleaning, bleeding, applying medicine, and bandaging was completed, it was still shocking.
The slightest movement will cause the wound to bleed again!
"A giant beast that can burrow into the ground and fly."
Huyan Longzhuo glanced at Nalan Qiao and said concisely:
"I've never seen a creature that looks like that, it's not like something that can be produced by normal reproduction.
But its main body is similar to the purple-skinned monster."
With that said, Huyan Longzhuo turned his attention to the blue-haired girl standing behind.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Gulumi pursed her lips, folded her arms in dissatisfaction and said, "Didn't you kill all the tentacles I cultivated?
Besides, I don’t even have the ability to fly, so how can I grow wings from my tentacles?”
"Just because you can't fly doesn't mean your ambition can't fly."
Huyan Longzhuo stared at Gulumi with bright eyes and said quietly:
"You can make purple-skinned monsters, crystal vines, and other weird things. It's not surprising."
"You, you are talking nonsense! It is slander!"
Gurumi was so angry that she stamped her feet.
