Chapter 533: The Purist Who Takes Advantage of the Fire
Reji wanted to stay in the tree all night. Yang Qiu had spent the past few days like this, and Reji also wanted to take this opportunity to establish the prestige of the lord.
But two hours later, he gave up. He didn't sleep a wink last night, and it rained heavily tonight. If this trend continued, he might get sick.
He led everyone onto the airship, and the mountain demon yelled and screamed on the airship, almost jumping off the observation deck.
"Regiturito, Orisada Black Tower!" (I can fly!)
This mountain demon's name is Enta. He has been with the Hades Wizard for many years and is older than Yang Qiu. Yang Qiu doesn't know his origins either.
After the mountain demon calmed down, Yang Qiu wanted to tell Reggie the whole thing in detail, but found that the exhausted Reggie had fallen asleep in the cabin.
At dawn the next day, the mud disappeared on time, and Reggie followed Yang Qiu into the forest.
"I heard some birds calling and they told me some trees were dying here."
Lei Ji looked at Yang Qiu in surprise: "Can you understand the birdsong?"
"This is a kind of witchcraft. It includes not only birds, but also many beasts. I can understand their languages."
While they were talking, they had already found the big tree. It was a Nabochi tree in its prime. It was more than twenty feet tall and the diameter was equivalent to a large plate. From the outside, it didn't seem to have many problems.
In late spring, the leaves have grown very lush.
But the teenagers had already smelled the smell. They tapped the bark of the tree with their sword hilts, shook their heads and said, "It seems there is no hope."
Another young man said: "Don't be so arbitrary. This tree has to live for at least seven or eight years to grow so tall."
He carefully drilled a hole in the tree trunk with a dagger, then took out a bag of medicinal powder and sprinkled it into the hole.
This move caused a disaster, and hundreds of insects emerged from the tree hole like running water.
The teenagers were slashing and chopping with their swords. Yang Qiu and the mountain demon Enta were stomping on them with all their strength. While stomping on them, they were shouting: "You can't let one go! Don't let one go!"
Reggie and Modesa followed suit. Dorothy hesitated and spat into the tree hole.
Her saliva was highly poisonous, and she wanted to kill the insects, but the insects spurted out like a broken water pipe. The teenagers said angrily: "You are too impatient! You can't use too much poison."
The number of bugs in this tree exceeded Reggie's imagination, and a rough estimate should be around tens of thousands. Yang Qiu was forced to use witchcraft, and the grass on the ground suddenly turned into dancing sharp knives. They grabbed the bugs and then killed them.
Torn into pieces.
This witchcraft consumes a lot of mana. After killing all the bugs, Yang Qiu was overdrawn. He squatted on the ground and panted for a long time, and asked: "There shouldn't be any bugs running away, right?"
"Probably, no..." the teenagers answered feebly. When a large number of insects sprayed out, no one knew whether any fish would slip through the net.
The big tree in front of him is also very dangerous. There are still a lot of insect eggs inside. Now Yang Qiu wants to make an assessment with the teenagers. If the big tree can still survive, he will use a relatively mild method to kill it.
If the tree cannot be saved, he will use violent witchcraft to destroy the insect eggs inside.
It was determined that this big tree had been completely hollowed out and would die within a few days. Its roots could no longer capture the mud demon, and it had become an outlet for the mud.
Yang Qiu could only use violent witchcraft. He chanted a spell, starting from the crown, and turned the big tree into sawdust bit by bit.
The whole process lasted two hours, and Reggie asked in a low voice: "Why don't you just burn the tree?"
The young man said angrily: "Are you crazy? Do you want to cause a fire?"
"Is there no other way? For example, try poison."
"Didn't you see how many bugs there are? There are at least tens of thousands of them! How much poison does it take to kill tens of thousands of bugs!"
They haven't learned to respect the lord yet, but fortunately Reggie doesn't mind. After finishing dealing with the big tree, Reggie asked: "Is this exit blocked now?"
Yang Qiu shook his head and said, "It's still far from enough."
He took out the seeds of a Napoleon tree and threw it into a water bag. After chanting a spell, he sprinkled the water bag and the seeds into the sawdust.
Next, Nabochi's seeds began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon grew into a small sapling as thick as a wrist.
"You are well versed in witchcraft, and you actually have this method," Reggie said in admiration, "and it's much faster than my wizard."
"You should be talking about Prey. I heard the grand maester talk about that child. He is a very talented wizard, but he has not received the correct guidance. I can grow four big trees in one day. If it were that child,
Maybe more."
Reggie didn't want to discuss too much about witchcraft. He asked again: "Is the exit blocked this time?"
Yang Qiu wiped his sweat and said: "It's blocked this time, but I don't know about other trees..."
Before he finished speaking, a young man shouted: "This big tree is also infected with insects, but the number doesn't seem to be that many."
Yang Qiu gritted his teeth, nodded to the young man and said, "Let's do it!"
The boy was about to drill a hole in the tree, but Reggie stopped him.
"If we continue like this, I'm afraid we will only be able to plug this one loophole by nightfall. There are more than 60 loopholes, but how long and how long will it take to plug them?"
Yang Qiu lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault. I deserve death."
"Don't be so upset. Leave a mark here so that the Paladins can continue to look for bugs. Follow me back to Camel Island City," Reggie turned to Dorothy and said, "Convey the order to Nipoli..."
It was already noon when we returned to Broken Snow City, and Manjiao and the city residents spent another night. Swindell and Shansha had already arrived at the manor in an airship. Since they had brought Shansha, Reggie also saw that
Following Swindell's idea, he wanted to use nitric acid to deal with the mud demon.
But the cargo ship sent by Nipoli has not yet arrived, which means that the residents of Camel Island City have to stay up one more night.
"You may have to wait a little longer," Swindel explained for Nipoli. "They encountered a storm at sea. It is estimated that the trip will be delayed for at least a day. The storm came really suddenly. Thanks to those two
Girl Feng Mo, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to come so quickly.”
Reggie sent the two wind demons to Shattering Snow City. They were originally given to Swindell for experiments, but unexpectedly they turned out to be of great use. They helped the airship withstand the storm.
"Have you brought everything?"
"I have almost everything. If you need it, you can start the experiment now."
Reggie turned to Manjiao and said, "I asked you to leave some mud, have you forgotten?"
"How dare you forget your master's instructions," Manjiao ordered someone to bring a jar and warned, "This thing will die when exposed to light, so you must be careful."
Reggie handed the jar to Swindell: "This thing is afraid of light and always appears after the rain. That's all I know. The rest is up to you."
"Leave it to me!" Swindell said with a proud smile, "It will be our turn to fight back soon, hahahaha!"
While he was talking, a harsh voice came over.
"Lord! Why do you still associate with the witches and the like when all the people are trapped in water and fire? Such perverse actions, no wonder the heaven has punished Camel Island!"
Reggie turned around and found a middle-aged woman standing behind him.
San'ao, the leader of the Pure Ones, the smell of her body made Reggie cover his nose.
The pure ones are the changed ones, who take advantage of disaster when it comes. Their methods of doing things are exactly the same.
