The little Lolita, who is more than 100 million miles away from Qiangu Garden, concentrates on collecting grass. She is still heading towards the Black Mist Lake from east to west, so that she can check the Black Mist Lake every now and then.
As the days passed, Black Mist Lake became very quiet.
Until one day half a month later, the insect tide finally came.
The time when the insect tide officially landed in Qianji Valley was at midnight on the seventeenth day after the little Loli started mowing mode.
Qianji Valley at night is quiet and profound.
At midnight, the part of the Black Mist Lake hidden in the mountain suddenly spewed out a black air mass as thick as ink. The black air mass was a green insect that was stronger than the body of a human monk.
The frequency of black air masses ejected from the lake is very high, reaching a speed of twenty times with each breath. Each black air mass is like a huge black cloud, and the number of green insect monsters in each black cloud is in the hundreds of millions.
Wave after wave of green insect demons surged from the mountain caves to the Black Mist Lake. Because there were so many, they could not fly out for a while. The entire Black Mist Lake was crowded with insects from the lake surface to the sky within 50,000 feet above.
The insect demons, who had regained their composure a little, flew through the black mist and towards the canyon.
The caterpillars that smelled the scent of plants pounced ferociously on the ground. The dense worms were like stars falling from the sky, but in a moment, the grassland for more than a thousand miles from the shore of the black mist lake was covered with insect monsters.
After landing, the caterpillars gnaw wildly at the stems and leaves of plants. In just a few breaths, a caterpillar can eat away a piece of grass that is about ten feet wide.
The caterpillars that landed first gnawed on the grass all the way eastward from the lake shore, while the caterpillars coming from behind jumped over the previous batch of caterpillars and landed further ahead.
Within half an hour, the south bank of the river in Qianji Canyon was crowded with green insect swarms, and the insect swarm's line stretched for nearly ten thousand miles.
The Black Mist Lake was still spewing black mist continuously, and waves of insect monsters poured into the canyon one after another, and they all rushed to the east as if there was some guidance.
Leyun, who was tens of thousands of miles away, mowed grass all day during the day and worked half a shift at night. She stopped work just before midnight and sat in a spiritual boat to meditate.
I was originally in trance, but suddenly I felt panicked, and I woke up from the trance state.
Flustered?
A feeling of panic lingered in her heart. Le Yun was stunned. Why did she suddenly feel such a strange feeling?
Worried that something happened to Handsome Yan and Young Master Xuan, I reached out and pinched my fingers. The calculated hexagram showed that the two handsome men were safe and sound, so the sign was not on Handsome Man's side.
I looked in the direction of Qiangu Garden again and saw that the air there had not changed, and there was no danger to the gourd baby and the little creatures.
My companions in the secret realm are not in danger. Could it be that my relatives back home have encountered some trouble?
Le Yun once again used her fingers to deduce the Tianyan number, and after some calculations, the hexagram image she calculated was also an auspicious image.
What's wrong with that?
After pondering for a long time, Le Yun felt something in her heart. She put away her spiritual boat, boarded the night sky, and looked towards the Black Mist Lake.
The air in the direction of Black Mist Lake has changed!
The sign should be in the direction of Black Mist Lake, it may be an insect tide coming!
After finding the reason, Le Yun immediately flew wildly in the spirit boat to the middle of the giant mountain range in the south, put on a black robe and a curtain hat that could conceal the breath and consciousness.
He changed his outfit, collected his spirit boat, and flew towards the west.
After running non-stop for a while, I smelled the smell of insects in the air from a distance. After flying for a while, the sky in front of me surged black, and countless humming sounds spread to all directions like a tsunami.
Le Yun calculated the distance and found that she was about 20,000 miles away from Black Mist Lake!
The army of insect demons was seen twenty thousand miles away. Needless to say, the insect tide had already formed a large scale.
There was still some distance away from the insect monster and the insect's appearance could not be seen clearly. Le Yun quickly retreated towards the mountain and found a section of rock halfway up the mountain, hidden in a concave rock crevice.
Hide yourself and stare into the sky to observe.
Soon the insect swarm flew in like a tornado, and the insects were as dense as stars.
Every time a locust plague occurs on the earth, the number of locusts is in the hundreds of millions, and the insect tide in Qianji Valley is also in the hundreds of millions, and this billion is a trillion.
It is said that the insect tide in Qianji Valley exceeds trillions at least in each wave.
Swarms of insects covering the ground were flapping their wings, and the power of the sound waves alone was enough to make people flinch. If a Mahayana monk only relied on spiritual protection for protection, he would not be able to survive the sound waves for the duration of a cup of tea.
If you were a Yuanying-level monk, if you couldn't hold on for even half a minute, you would be shocked to the point where your heart and veins would be broken, or your seven orifices would spurt out blood, or your body would explode and die.
The flapping sound of insect swarm is equivalent to a mid-range and long-range attack, and is the first killing move.
The flying insect swarms are constantly changing. Some fly towards the mountain or pounce on the ground, pounce into the vegetation and eat the stems and leaves of trees, while other insect swarms continue to fly forward to open up new feeding places.
Le Yun, who was leaning against the stone wall and holding her breath, looked at the dozens of caterpillars lying on the trees less than three feet away from her, and her eyes almost exploded.
The first wave of insects was locusts!
The locusts from Black Mist Lake are similar in shape to the local locusts in the Qingxu God Realm, but they are larger than the local locusts. They also have eight legs!
Le Yun discovered that all locusts have a trace of dark energy in their bodies!
There is underworld energy in the body of the insect demon, and there is underworld energy in the black air of Black Mist Lake. Could it be that the insect tide comes from the underworld? Is there a passage to the underworld hidden in the mountain where Black Mist Lake is located?
Some kind of speculation flashed through her mind, but Le Yun did not delve into it further and continued to observe.
The locusts that landed on the plants and feasted on them quickly devoured the young leaves and then abandoned the trees in search of fresher and more delicious food.
After eating, the body of the locust also grows slowly.
Leyun clung to the rock, and from midnight until dawn, there was still a steady stream of insect troops coming from the west.
From morning to afternoon, the insect army passed by one after another, in an endless stream.
Night fell, and the mighty insect army was still missing.
When dawn came, the number of the insect army did not decrease at all.
As tens of billions of locusts passed by, all the young leaves of the vegetation in the canyon and the mountains on both sides were eaten away. Later, the locusts became extremely hungry and sometimes gnawed on old leaves to satisfy their greed.
Before the locust army was over, Le Yun was forced to become a gecko.
The procession of green insect monsters was endless and lasted for three days before it passed, followed closely by another type of yellow-brown locust.
The green locust that passed first was most similar to the largest locust on earth, called the "Big Locust". The difference was that the legs of the green locust sent from Black Mist Lake were gray.
The second group of locusts are similar in shape to those called "migratory locusts" on Earth, with two red tentacles on their heads.
The army of yellow-brown locusts advanced toward the east in a mighty manner. There were more of them than the previous group, and the army marched for four full days.
The third wave of locusts are locust monsters similar to the "rice locusts" on Earth.
Le Yun secretly searched for the leader of the insect demon and found traces of the insect commander. Unfortunately, the insect leader was well hidden. It was tightly protected by the escort team and could not see its true face.
The Black Mist Lake spewed out black mist day and night, and the army of insect monsters landed one after another, marching toward the canyon day and night.
In order to observe the types of insects, Le Yun spent thirty-four days as a gecko on the rock wall. In the early morning of the thirty-fifth day, the army of insect demons finally passed away.
After the last army of insect demons walks away, they fly towards the Black Mist Lake.
The vegetation in the canyon has been stripped bare and is everywhere.
When we arrived at Black Mist Lake, we compared the before and after data and came to a conclusion: the black mist in Black Mist Lake was ten times thicker than before, and the underworld air was also more than thirty times thicker.
Black Mist Lake is even weirder.
Other than the increase in the underworld energy, nothing else was found.
Le Yun still had business to attend to, so she didn't stay any longer and rushed to high altitude in her spirit boat, flying at an altitude of more than 200,000 feet above the earth's surface.
After chasing for two hours, I caught up with the tail of the insect demon army.
The insect wave army basically flies at low altitudes, with the flying height not exceeding 100,000 feet above the surface.
In order not to disturb the insect demons, Le Yun collected the spirit boat and flew by herself. After two days of flying after the insect tide army, she also made a new discovery - the first wave of insect demon army began to mate and lay eggs.
After the insect demons mate, the female worm lays her eggs in the grass soil where the stems and leaves have been eaten away, and then rushes forward to eat.
The second wave of insect monsters had enough food and drink, and after accumulating enough strength, its first priority was to mate, lay eggs, and produce offspring, followed by the third and fourth batches, and so on.
Le Yun also finally figured out the secret of how each insect wave in Qianji Valley lasts for more than half a year. In this way, the insect monsters eat and lay eggs while moving eastward, and their physical strength is always strong.
The climate in Qianji Valley is warm, and insect eggs buried in the soil will hatch out in just one month.
At that time, the gnawed grass will grow new grass again, and the newly hatched nymphs will also have food. In just three or four days, the nymphs will grow wings and can fly briefly.
Under sufficient food conditions, young locusts can grow to the size of adults in about half a month and are capable of long-distance flight. They will follow in the footsteps of their parents and march eastward.
The army of insect demons creates small locusts as they travel, and batches of insect eggs hatch into small locusts one after another. The small locusts grow up until they become a new generation of reinforcements.
When the first army of insect monsters to land arrived at Qianji Secret Valley, the reinforcement teams behind them were also approaching Qianji Secret Valley in a steady stream. It was not unusual for an insect wave to last for half a year to a year.
In order to obtain first-hand information about the insect eggs, Le Yun first lurked in the mountains, then sneaked into the canyon at night and dug up the soil where the insect eggs were buried to study.
The insect monster is big and its eggs are also big. It is shaped like a quail egg on the earth. It is white and has a smooth surface, very similar to the shape of an ant egg.
Locust eggs are in piles. If you don't know it, you may have dug up a nest of ant eggs.
Little Loli followed the locust team, collected some eggs of each species, and quietly killed the male and female locusts of each species as experimental subjects.
After following the insect tide for half a month, I finally collected first-hand data on all types of locusts and eggs.
With complete information on the locusts, Mr. Le Xiao used a spirit boat to travel from high altitude, passed the insect wave army, and returned to the middle of the canyon.
There is a section of the valley in the middle section of the Qianji Valley Grand Canyon where the terrain is flat. The Qianji River, which originates from the Qianji Secret Valley, also goes around the foot of the giant mountain range and flows along the foot of the mountain.
In that section of the canyon, not only do no major rivers pass through the hinterland, there are also few rivers in the valley. The terrain is open and flat, making it the best battlefield for setting up formations to catch insects.
Le Yun rushed to the battlefield she had chosen and immediately returned to the star core space to prepare the medicine.
With detailed information on locusts in hand, it is not a problem to prepare targeted medicine.
The biggest problem is that she is only one person and her work efficiency is not high. Under such circumstances, she can only make up for her weakness with diligence.
