Chapter 415 Locust plague (1)
The special magic weapon, such as the Wind Catching Net, was originally used to capture some rare birds, and this time it was used to kill locusts.
As soon as the big net was erected, the four people who activated the big net immediately felt a huge force coming.
The boundless locusts have arrived, constantly hitting the big net, but once they hit, the locusts will immediately become burnt and turn into ashes.
Including Xu Yan, the eight disciples who activated the Wind Catching Net were constantly retreating by the impact force. It took a lot of effort to stabilize the shaking net.
Two wind-catching nets, plus nearly two hundred disciples, formed a barrier of flashing light, blocking the locusts that rushed towards the small village several miles away.
The villagers in the village discovered the streaming lights in the distance. They could not see the figures, and thought it was God who showed up. They knelt down and bowed even more piously and kowtowed non-stop.
The spiritual energy used to activate the wind-catching net is not too much, because the real power of this magic weapon is not very great. Xu Yan became familiar with the means of controlling the big net, so he felt relieved.
If there were only this kind of locusts, he estimated that it would be not difficult to hold on to the urging of the wind-catching net for the last hour.
In one hour, the locust plague should come to an end.
Listening to the constant sound of raindrops hitting the big Internet, Xu Yan looked at the hillside on the other side. Zhao Xiaolian was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Not only did she not help, she actually started practicing by herself leisurely.
The insensitive guy...
After cursing inwardly, Xu Yan glanced at Jiang Da in the distance again.
The fat Jiang Da was swinging the steel fork randomly, slapped the fly, and looked very hard, but Xu Yan knew that the other party was just perfunctory.
Without paying attention to Jiang Da, Xu Yan's eyes were gradually attracted by a ball of flames not far away.
The flames were about stairs high, like a bonfire, and came from a small bottle in Nie Yin's hand.
When the locusts arrived, Nie Yin also took action. Instead of using the magic weapon, he took out a bottle that was exactly the same as Zhao Xiaolian. After urging, flames immediately gushed out of the bottle's mouth. All the locusts passing by Nie Yin were burned to ashes.
The bottle should also contain earth fire. Xu Yan could tell with his left eye that the flame was different from ordinary flames, but what made him curious was the small bottle in Nie Yin's hand.
It seems that the true disciples of Lingyan Pavilion will have a bottle magic weapon filled with earth fire. In this way, with the cultivation of the Foundation Building Realm, they can also refine alchemy and weapons anytime and anywhere.
Xu Yan was not envious of the bottle of earth fire. He was able to use the methods of refining, and earth fire was useless.
Anyway, it is the advantage of refining weapons and alchemy at any time. The technique of refining is much more convenient than a bottle containing earth fire. Moreover, the earth fire in the bottle will never be taken out. If it is consumed, it will inevitably need to go back to the sect to replenish it.
Almost all of the disciples of the Jinqian Sect who were divided into six routes encountered locust plague at this time, each route several dozen miles apart, or even hundreds of miles away.
A large number of locusts were intercepted and killed, and a small number of locusts passed through the blockade and continued to fly to the depths of Dapu. These scattered locusts were no longer in a state of climate, but they were still moving forward stubbornly, as if something was summoning them in a distant place.
There are more than one or two locust plagues in Dapu. In the midsummer this year, Dapu ushered in the most serious natural disaster in history.
In the court, in order to destroy the locust plague, ministers led by the left prime minister donated a lot of money, and the emperor even ordered that the army be dispatched to various places to hunt locusts.
The emperor was not stupid, but had limited ability. As a last resort, the great emperor decided to worship heaven and pray for blessings.
The Yulong Taoist Temple, which has been built for many years, has been completely completed. With the preparation of the national teacher, an extremely grand prayer ceremony will soon become the most grand program for the country this year.
Xu Yan didn't know the mobilization that occurred in the capital. He only knew that the force coming from the Wind Catching Network was getting faster and faster.
"There are more locusts, be careful!"
The prompt from Nie Yin made the disciples around him look solemn. Chen Ming tried hard to activate the remaining spiritual energy behind the big net, and did not forget to talk to Xu Yan.
"Brother Xu, if the spiritual energy is exhausted, you must make a statement in advance. Just replace someone else with me. I can hold on for a while."
Although Xu Yan's spiritual energy is not much, it is a little deeper than a new disciple like Chen Ming. Ignoring Chen Ming's reminder, Xu Yan always locked his eyebrows and looked at the locust sandstorm, and gradually became confused.
There are indeed more and more locusts, but in Xu Yan's eyes, the number of locusts has not only increased, but also some strange locusts have appeared.
The ordinary locust has black eyes. Just now, Xu Yan actually saw a kind of locust with slightly red eyes. The strange locust is slightly larger than the normal locust and has a greater power than the ordinary locust. When the red-eyed locust hit the big net, you can clearly feel a great force, just like the power of a strong man punching him.
A red-eyed locust can actually have power comparable to that of humans. This discovery not only puzzled Xu Yan, but also shocked him.
Fortunately, the number of red-eyed locusts is very small, and the power to hit the big net is indeed quite large, but it can still be killed by the power of lightning on the Wind Catching Net.
Looking at the endless locust sandstorm in the distance, Xu Yan gradually glared at his left eye.
He suddenly had a premonition that the locust plague this time seemed not that simple.
The bang bang sounded like raindrops falling, constantly. Gradually, Chen Ming had exhausted his spiritual energy. Just as Chen Ming called a fellow disciple not far away to help, three red-eyed locusts appeared in front of him and hit the wind-catching net.
The force of the hammer swung appeared in vain. Chen Ming, who had no spiritual energy, did not grasp it for a while and was shocked to fall backwards. As soon as he let go, there were only three people left in the wind-catching net.
Xu Yan had already seen three red-eyed locusts. If he hadn't activated more spiritual energy in advance, Chen Ming would have fallen down after he let go.
Fortunately, Xu Yan supported him. When the disciples who succeeded Chen Ming arrived, the crooked wind catcher net returned to its original state.
A small mistake made Chen Ming's face turn pale and he was very scared, and Xu Yan's face was even worse at this time.
No one can see it, but Xu Yan's left eye can see clearly. Behind the three red-eyed locusts, there were thousands of red-eyed locusts!
The sudden arrival of red-eyed locusts became an unexpected disaster. Xu Yan could no longer hide, and there was nowhere to hide. He gritted his teeth and activated his spiritual energy.
The sound of sledgehammers hitting appeared on the Wind-Catching Network. The other disciples also encountered the impact of the red-eyed locusts. They were knocked back one by one, and some of them were not avoided. They were directly hit by the locusts, and their noses and faces were swollen.
Fortunately, a large number of red-eyed locusts were intercepted by two wind-catching nets, so the others were able to breathe. Under Nie Yin's order, the team began to gather towards the wind-catching nets. When encountering emergencies, the best choice was to gather together.
