Chapter three hundred and seventy-six terrible locusts
The Kingdom of Wu was founded by force, with abundant military virtue and strong mobilization ability. In three days, the Tiansheng Sect mobilized 20,000 horses and 10,000 horses to enter the Ningcui Mountain defense line and dispersed them in the Black Wind Valley area.
The locusts are coming in overwhelming numbers, and they are not like an army of monsters that will besiege a certain spiritual mountain. Therefore, in fact, the entire seven or eight thousand miles of the southern border of Wu Kingdom are all defense lines, and the Tiansheng Sect family alone is not enough.
of.
Fortunately, the Wu Kingdom had been actively preparing for war in the past two years to fight against the monsters, so the Danyang Sect and other sects also provided full support. Tens of thousands of people have been mobilized to the Ningcui Mountain area, and more monks have been mobilized.
Hongshan Sect, Tianhai Sect, etc. are all doing the same thing. The sects in the former Tianyun Prefecture are the most familiar with this kind of mobilization and are the fastest, while the two sects in the former Baiyan Prefecture and Tiannan Prefecture are a little slower.
, the troops have just been assembled, and only the five prefectures and counties that surrendered have the least experience, and have not even been able to assemble yet.
For this reason, Li Yiwen issued multiple orders in the name of the Tiansheng Sect to urge them to take action. Each order was more severe than the last, so that they could speed up their mobilization.
Three hundred miles in front of Ningcui Mountain, thousands of monks were blocking the locust army. The monks used martial arts to crush the locusts. However, after killing one group, another group appeared, as if the number had never decreased.
"Let the front troops withdraw, the rear troops rest and regroup, and the left troops advance to meet them."
"Yes, the left army is following me to join the front army."
Bai Zichen personally took command. Soon, thousands more people rushed forward and replaced the former army who had consumed most of their profound energy. Compared with the army of locusts, the human monks were much smaller in number, so the biggest advantage of the monks was
Know how to cooperate and can rotate.
"Ancestor, these are third-level locusts. This swarm of locusts has killed all the third-level leaders, so there is nothing to worry about."
Soon, the commander of the former army came to Bai Zichen with a locust as big as a calf and said to him.
Although the locust army is large in number, the single attack power of most locusts is very low. Locusts are also the weakest among first-level monsters, but locusts can also advance. As the level increases, naturally,
It will increase in strength, but the rank of the locust is easy to identify, just look at the size. The first-order locust is the size of a fist, and the third-order locust is as big as a calf.
"Very good. Since there is no threat anymore, pull up the fire net and completely eliminate this locust."
Bai Zichen nodded, and then the five Zifu monks took out a giant net that was hundreds of meters long and tens of meters wide, opened it completely, and then carried it towards the locust swarm. The five people stimulated their profound energy at the same time, and the giant net was
The net immediately spurted out flames, burning large swarms of locusts to death, and the entire swarm was completely emptied.
The grade of this giant net is very low, and it is extremely difficult to cast. It requires the full strength of several Zifu monks to activate it. If the third-level locusts have not been cleared out in advance, they would not dare to use it because it will be torn off.
All the Zifu monks will be in danger.
"Ancestor, fortunately you have lived up to your mission. Most of the locusts have been wiped out, and a small number are being cleaned up."
Soon, most of the locust army was burned to death by the giant net, and the remaining ones were slowly cleaned up by the monks. Five Zifus flew back, and at least hundreds of thousands of locusts were wiped out in this wave.
"Okay, go down and have a rest."
"Yes, ancestor"
"Bo Hai, what are the casualties of the disciples?"
"Hui Ancestor, so far, there are only three disciples who died in the battle, one hundred and twenty-seven were injured, and only seventeen were seriously injured. The casualties are quite small, but the consumption of various materials is extremely serious. In three days, we have already
More than 10,000 spiritual talismans of all levels were used, and more than 3,000 magic weapons were damaged, among which..."
He Bohai recounted the situation in the past few days. The casualties were very small, but the consumption of materials was huge. There were too many locusts. The profound energy in the monks' bodies alone was not enough.
Use magic talismans, so the consumption of magic talismans is very large.
"Well, I understand. Now the disciples have summarized several methods to deal with the locust army. You can ask a few second-generation disciples to learn them and then implement them separately."
Bai Zichen nodded. He knew that supplies were expensive. Low-level disciples could not use group attack martial arts and could only kill one by one with swords. The efficiency was too low, so using magic talismans was the best, but it was also the least economical.
With this style of play, Tian Sheng Sect would lose hundreds of thousands of Xuan Crystals in one day.
Fortunately, they have summarized several tactics to deal with the locust army. The fire net just now is one of them. In addition, they also use formations, poisoning and other methods.
After a while, this swarm of locusts was wiped out, and the lower-level disciples cheered. But Bai Zichen couldn't be happy, because in these three days, they had wiped out millions of locusts, but the number of locusts in the army was so great.
Not only did it not decrease, but
The number has actually increased. Some Daogang monks went to the wilderness to investigate, and found that from the one or two thousand miles in the depths of the wilderness to the several thousand miles in the buffer zone, there were insect eggs everywhere, and they were hatching out in a steady stream, and they were eliminated at the fastest speed.
Definitely not as fast as their growth.
"grown ups"
Just when Bai Zichen was stunned, someone suddenly screamed and woke Bai Zichen up.
"What happened"
"Locusts appeared in Luo Town, thirty miles away from Ningcui Mountain."
"What, how is the situation?"
"The number is not large, about three to five thousand, and they have been killed. However, more than 60 acres of spiritual fields have been eaten away, and thousands of acres of mortal fields have been eaten away. More than 300 cattle and sheep have been killed and injured, and more than 20 mortal casualties have been eaten.
"
"My most worried thing has happened. Where are the reinforcements from Hongshanmen?"
"I just passed Guiwei Mountain in the morning, and we can arrive there tomorrow morning."
"It's too slow. Tell them that those who lead the team should come first, and those on horseback and flying boats should come quickly."
"Yes, ancestor"
"Meng Ran"
"Here, uncle"
"Now I need a group of death squads to sneak into the wilderness and burn those locust eggs. Can you do it?"
"Guaranteed to complete the task"
"Okay, you take a hundred people, and let four more Daogang lead the team, the lowest one is Zifu, bring more spiritual talismans, and we will go out immediately."
Bai Zichen said with a cold face, and Jia Mengran immediately agreed. He and the other four Daogang monks ordered a hundred Zifu monks, received many spiritual talismans, and took a flying boat to the wilderness.
This is an extremely dangerous task. No one knows what is happening in the wilderness now, and no one knows what level the locusts can reach. Therefore, Bai Zichen must let Jia Mengran, his disciple, take the lead and lead the team.
Bai Zichen made arrangements and quickly returned to Ningcui Mountain to check out Luo Town, which was attacked by locusts. Luo Town is a large town with a population of tens of thousands, which provides labor for the spiritual fields near Ningcui Mountain.
This can be regarded as the interior of Wu Kingdom. Now there are locusts here, which means that the locusts have broken through the defense line and scattered. This is what Bai Zichen is most worried about. After all, the border of Wu Kingdom is thousands of miles away, and he only has a few
Thousands of people, even holding hands, cannot stand up to these thousands of miles of defense line.
Two days later, the situation worsened again. Locusts continued to appear in villages and towns near Ningcui Mountain. These locusts gnawed on everything, whether it was trees, crops or the elixir rice in the spiritual fields.
Eggs are laid near Ningcui Mountain, and locust eggs have been found in rivers in several places, and there are locust eggs in the woods.
Although reinforcements from the Danyang Sect have arrived, with almost 50,000 troops gathered here, many monks are still exhausted, fighting fires everywhere, and more and more spiritual fields are being eaten.
"Ancestor, we can't go on like this. The disciples are too tired. They haven't rested for several days and nights. If the profound energy is used up and used up, the meridians will be damaged."
"I have set up large camps all over Ningcui Mountain to let the tired monks go in and rest. The new reinforcement monks will take over their tasks. The supplies have also been sent. They are very sufficient."
"Yes, ancestor, I will give the order right away."
Bai Zichen rubbed his head. He had been thinking so hard these days that even the Lingguang monk could not withstand the pressure and seemed to have an extremely headache. He began to miss the time when he worked under Lin Xiao. At that time, he had no need to care about so much.
More, just follow orders, it's not easy for the boss.
Just when Bai Zichen had a headache, Jia Mengran and his party had already penetrated deep into the original buffer zone. More than a hundred people were divided into five teams to kill the eggs that had no resistance. After two days, they didn't know
How many insect eggs have been burned, but the further we go into the wilderness, the more insect eggs we find, as if we can't kill them all.
"Uncle Jia, my magic talisman is used up."
"Uncle, so is mine."
"I have six more"
"The fire attribute talisman is gone, but there are still more than 20 others, so they are of no use."
When they stopped to rest, several disciples said to Jia Mengran that there were not enough spiritual talismans. Low-level spiritual talismans were huge for the sect and could be used to deal with locusts. The best one was the fire-attributed talisman, a first-level fireball talisman.
It can shoot out three fire dragons that are tens of meters long and burn countless insect eggs. On the contrary, the golden light talisman, even if it is activated, is just a short golden light and cannot kill many, so the fire attribute talisman began to be used on a large scale.
consumption.
"It doesn't matter, there are no monsters now, and even the ice arrow talisman can be of great use. When the time comes, we will pile the insect eggs together, and then use the ice arrow talisman to freeze them to death. We can't go back like this."
"Uncle Master, could it be that you want to investigate deep in the wilderness?"
"Of course, let me say something that shouldn't be said. Although the beast tide and the locust army are extremely dangerous to us, it is also a matter for us to make contributions. I am going to change the Lingming Pill, and you also have to change the Daoji Pill. Don't you
Don’t you want to achieve Dao Gang?”
"I think, uncle, take us with you."
"That's right, Uncle Master, I only have a few hundred thousand merit points now, and I'm still far from being able to change my Taoist core."
"Although I have no hope of Daogang, my son is very hopeful. Uncle Master, please take me with you."
"Okay, let's go together. You have to follow my instructions. Only by being consistent can you save your life."
Jia Mengran nodded, his ambitions were not limited to this, he also wanted to make a contribution in this incident.
Soon, Jia Mengran led ten Zifu monks to the wild wilderness. The ten of them had high cultivation levels. In addition, there were no more monsters in the buffer zone, so they traveled very quickly. They reached the depths of the wild wilderness in one day.
"Uncle, look, what is that?"
"Oh my God, why are there so many monsters?"
"The locust plague is a conspiracy, a conspiracy of the demon clan"
