They didn't find out until Yi Wen and Yi Wu arrived at the scene.
That ferocious beast came here from the underground.
No wonder the two patrolled around Zhuangzi and found no trace of the vicious beast.
Yi Wen and Yi Wu were really worried when they looked at these ferocious beasts.
Those are several ferocious beasts that are good at traveling underground.
Standing outside the granary, the two of them could only see them undulating underground, and their black coats could also be seen.
These ferocious beasts did not lift their entire bodies out of the ground, and their appearance was unknown.
The two of them had never seen such ferocious beasts before, so naturally they didn't know their names.
Each one has the thickness of a water tank, the longest one is more than ten meters long, and the shortest one is more than five meters long.
If they encountered such a ferocious beast on the ground, Yi Wen and Yi Wu would certainly not be frightened.
But these guys hide underground and never show up.
After Yi Wen and Yi Wu executed several flaming slashes, they were at their wits end.
The Flame Slash only caused a certain amount of damage to these ferocious beasts, but did not kill them.
These ferocious beasts did not dare to fight head-on with the Yi brothers and fled underground.
Yi Wenwen wanted to report the actual situation back to the sect. After all, the task was no longer consistent with the description.
But Yi Wu disagreed and wanted to go home.
If he reported it to the sect, the two of them would have to return immediately, and he would have no chance to go home.
After discussing it, the two decided to seek help from Gu Yuan first. If Gu Yuan could help, then the two of them would not have to report it to the sect.
It happened that Gu Yuan was on Qingcheng Mountain at that time and agreed to help, so I thought of making an appointment with Gu Yuan and the three of them would try again.
The three of them were walking and chatting.
"In other words, we still don't know what kind of ferocious beast it is?"
Yi Wen quickly replied: "I asked the senior brothers at the door about what I saw that night."
"They all said it might be the black-scaled earthworm."
"Of course, since they weren't at the scene at the time, it's hard to say what kind of ferocious beast it was. I just want to say that this black-scaled earthworm is the most similar to what I described."
Gu Yuan nodded. He had never seen a black-scaled earthworm. From the name, he probably thought it was an earthworm with black scales all over its body.
After all, Gu Yuan was already in the golden elixir stage, so he didn't take it too seriously. He turned to comfort Yi Wen and let him relax.
Yi Wu was so homesick, and he also felt that Gu Yuan would have nothing to do with him, so he said hello to the two of them and went home directly.
Only Yi Wen himself accompanied Gu Yuan to the place where the accident occurred.
From a distance, he saw many collapsed houses. Yi Wen was stunned for a moment, and then an ominous premonition came to his heart.
Could something happen again?
When Yi Wen took a closer look, he sighed.
This place has been destroyed, and his mission will most likely fail.
"Gu Yuan, look there!"
"Yesterday, before I left, there was still a large spiritual field there!"
"But now, alas..."
If it weren't for Yi Wen's guidance, Gu Yuan would never have been able to tell that this place was once a spiritual field.
The villagers responsible for planting the spiritual fields have already transferred the spiritual rice according to Yi Wen's request.
All the spiritual rice in that big warehouse has been removed.
It is said that after the spiritual rice stored here was removed, this place no longer has the spiritual power to attract those black-scaled devil earthworms.
However, both Zhuangzi and Lingtian were turned upside down beyond recognition.
Especially the granary where spiritual rice was stored for a long time has completely turned into a big pit.
There is no trace that there was once a warehouse where spiritual rice was stored.
As soon as the person in charge of Zhuangzi saw Yi Wen coming back, he rushed over to complain.
The person in charge is afraid of taking responsibility and is cautious about what he says.
"Young hero, you are finally back. Yesterday, while you were away, those ferocious beasts launched a crazy revenge."
The person in charge pointed at the big pit and said sadly: "These beasts will raze this place to the ground!"
"Flat ground?"
Yi Wen was stunned.
The person in charge also reacted and quickly changed his words, "Ah, no, it just turned this place into a big pit!"
The person in charge paused and said, "Not only this place, but also the spiritual field was destroyed."
In fact, he didn't need to say anything, Yi Wen and Gu Yuan had already seen it.
Gu Yuan looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and said.
"Yi Wen, you really should report this to the sect in time.
Now that this kind of consequences have occurred, I’m afraid that the sect will be held accountable.”
When Gu Yuan saw this, he actually suffered almost irreparable damage.
He felt that this matter was obviously a small matter, but now it has become a big deal.
"Ah, accountability?
This, this, this, what should we do?"
The person in charge was so frightened that he could not say anything, for fear that he would have to take responsibility.
Yi Wen glanced at the person in charge worriedly and said in a deep voice, "I will take full responsibility for this matter. It has nothing to do with you here. You can go down first."
The principal left with a lot of gratitude.
Yi Wen said with some annoyance: "I used to think that they were just black-scaled devil earthworms. I thought that if I went to find you, I could catch them all in one fell swoop."
"But I never thought that these guys would be so vindictive that they would destroy this place like this while I was away."
"If our brothers were here yesterday, this place wouldn't be like this!"
"Looking at it now, their destructive power is too great. This is no longer a matter of the level of the mission or the level of the mission reward."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Gu Yuan could tell that Yi Wen's words contained self-blame.
The black-scaled demon earthworm not only ate the spiritual plants and destroyed the spiritual fields and villages here, but also almost devoured the spiritual power of the spiritual fields here.
Even if the village is re-established here and the land is reorganized, the conditions for planting spiritual rice are no longer met.
"Yes, it is no longer as simple as killing these black-scaled earthworms."
Gu Yuan put forward his own idea, "Now it's up to Yi Wen to see how far you want to accomplish the task."
"How to say?"
Yi Wen didn't have any good ideas. Seeing that Gu Yuan had an idea, Yi Wen quickly asked, "Gu Yuan, do you have any good ideas?"
Gu Yuan looked at Yi Wen and consoled him: "Actually, you have done a good job."
"I found that something was wrong, so I immediately moved the villagers and the spiritual rice in the granary, and tried my best to recover the losses. Next, I only need to report the situation here to the sect."
"As for the damage to these spiritual fields, it cannot be considered your responsibility."
"As long as the inner deacon in charge here doesn't take it too seriously, you can just exaggerate the beast's abilities. This is the safest way."
"At that time, the sect will definitely send high-level inner disciples to handle it, and the matters here will have nothing to do with you."
"Of course I know it's safest to report it to the sect, but I really can't swallow this breath."
If it weren't for Gu Yuan, Yi Wenzhen might have given up here and reported it to the sect directly.
But when he met Gu Yuan, he wanted to take a little risk, and at the same time, he wanted to vent his bad temper.
"Although it is said that if you do more, you will make more mistakes, but if you don't do it, you will not make mistakes."
"Reporting to the sect is the safest way, but I still want to make things more perfect."
