Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 306 Exterminate locusts first, then punish drought

It is actually very simple for Yi Shuyuan to go to heaven to persuade the gods to help Xingyu.

The so-called God intends to bring disasters is natural force, but in fact Dayong survived this calamity and now it is a definite number, so what is the number of days?Why?

Whether it is a definite number or not, Yi Shuyuan himself went to heaven, if it is not a definite number, he has to make a definite number, and the gods also have their own considerations.

On the one hand, what Yi Daozi said is reasonable, on the other hand, the Dragon Clan's trip seems to be a loss of responsibility, and the heavens can't always be at war with the Dragon Clan, and there is also a sense of relaxation.

In this case, the "rainy season" in Lingdong has arrived.

It was very hot that year, and it rained everywhere in Lingdong, and the frequency was not low.

The people in Lingdong and other places in the world naturally don't know the specific reason, but in the eyes of the common people and the court officials, the drought in Lingdong is resolved, even if the root cause is still there, but it is true from the perspective of ordinary people.

In the fields in Lingdong, the crops have been rejuvenated one after another. Some places that have been completely dry are trying to replant other crops, and the crops in many fields have turned green.

However, in this case, the hazards of the locust plague became more conspicuous. The abundant rainfall allowed the vegetation to grow rapidly, and the scale of locusts also increased day by day.

But compared to fighting a severe drought with no precipitation at all, locusts are at least visible and tangible opponents.

Yunzhou, Qiancang County, at the moment before sunset today, thousands of people from the whole county and even the villages in neighboring counties gathered in the field area in the southeast corner of the county.

As soon as they heard that Master Zhenxing Sima was going to exterminate the locusts, all the villages and towns in Qiancang County and even the workshops in the city, as long as they could send labor, all responded to the call.

Regardless of men, women, young or old, almost everyone has a long pole with sackcloth hanging on it.

Chu Hang wore a short hexagram with bare arms, holding a long pole in his hand to show his solid arms and muscles. The county magistrate of Qiancang County also dressed similarly.

The environment can really affect or even change a person. These elders who used to be pampered in the past now know how to lead by example.

At this time, Chu Hang roared with a loud voice that had been trained.

"Followers of Yunzhou, elders of Qiancang County, Liuwan County has been eaten up by locusts. If we want to keep our fields, we must not slack off—"

Nearly ten thousand people were scattered in all directions, and no matter how loud Chu Hang's voice was, it would not reach everyone's ears, but naturally someone from the government would convey it one by one.

While Chu Hang was speaking, there was a faint sound getting closer.

"buzz buzz buzz"

This is a terrifying sound, at least for the people of Lingdong today.

In the direction of the small hillside over there, a dense black cloud flew close to the ground. Of course, it was not the clouds that landed, but patches of locusts.
"Set up a red flag, repel insects, light a fire—"

Chu Hang yelled, and immediately officials rushed to various places to deliver instructions.

"Set up a red flag, repel insects, light a fire—"

"Pass the order of the adults, set up the red flag, repel the insects, light the fire—"

This is a pre-agreed command method, just like the army.

A pole hung with a red cloth stood up, and amidst the excited shouts of the crowd, some special positions determined by the expert rose into a piece of flames piled up with firewood.

Driving, burning, digging and filling, etc., are the ways Chu Hang confronts the locust swarm head-on.

The overwhelming locusts flew in, and thousands of people swung their clubs vigorously. Some fell into blind chaos, but many people lined up in groups and waved the sackcloth and poles as originally required.

The effect of crowd conformity stopped the confusion of some people, and the crowd formed a human wall, driving many locusts to the flames.

The locusts here don't fly very high. Although many locusts have landed on the crop fields under the concerted efforts of everyone, the repelling is also very effective.

The walls of fire formed by the flames seem to be not too high, but as long as the locusts fly over the sky, even if they do not directly touch the flames, most of them will be ignited.

Sparks made of countless locusts floated in the low sky, and countless locusts fell from the sky.

It is not just a frontal confrontation, where locusts have ravaged or stayed, they will inevitably leave a large number of eggs.

Today's climate in Lingdong is very strange. It may be a rain, but often the next few days or even the next day will be scorching hot, and the sun's scorching is very poisonous.

So Chu Hang ordered people to dig out the soil in the fields where the locusts passed through and even in some wilderness, and directly use the venomous sunlight to kill the eggs, and the effect was excellent.

Burning and culling from the front, cutting off the source from the rear, this is the plan to revitalize the Sima Mansion after soliciting many opinions.

Of course, some people worship the "God of Locusts" and believe that things that require awe of locusts to be forgiven will be destroyed once they are discovered, and those who organize adulterous sacrifices will be imprisoned.

When Qiancang County was struggling to cull locusts, there were some quacks among the crowd, who also culled locusts together with the people.

Qi Zhongbin, Mai Lingfei and others were also among them, but they didn't show anything special.

Eliminate locusts first, then kill drought!
The locusts had already eaten up the crops and vegetation in two or three counties in the rear, so it was inevitable to rush to Qiancang County.

As the sky gets darker and darker, the phototaxis of locusts makes patches of insects get closer to the flames, and in an instant, the flames are all over the sky, flying and falling.
In order to prepare to deal with the locust swarm at nightfall, almost all the crops in the previous county were sacrificed, and only then did the human-insect war in the night usher in.

On the hilltop in the distance, a shadow that has grown to more than three feet long is surrounded by countless locusts. It looks at the fields in the distance, and it is a group of fires rising into the sky.

With such a long distance, the worm demon felt a kind of firepower coming towards his face, which was not just the feeling brought by the pyre fire.

However, during this period of time, the insect demon has become too arrogant. He only thinks that he is a natural disaster, that he is the locust god, and even tastes the feeling of being worshiped by mortals.

The eye that was injured by Mai Lingfei before has healed now, and the compound eyes stared into the distance, and almost instinctively found Chu Hang who was beating the locusts together with the people.

When it saw Chu Hang in its eyes, the worm monster only felt that its eyes were a little hot, but its hatred surged up, and it gritted its teeth endlessly.

Lingdong Sima, you destroy my gods, arrest my believers, and cull my heirs, it is really hateful!

I am a plague of locusts from the sky, but the number of days, can you and other mortals be able to contend?

The insect demon fluttered its wings, hid itself among the dense locusts, and flew towards the flames in the distant fields. Mortals are very fragile, and they can break bones and flesh with a light wave of the sickle!
It's just that the closer it gets, the insect demon seems to be able to feel the chaos of countless locusts, and the pain of countless locusts being burned by the fire. The insects may not have subjective thinking, but they have instincts and fear before death.

This actually made the worm demon feel oppressed and confused, and there was a strong scorching heat that became more and more unbearable.

It used to deal with mortal warriors in a similar way, leaving the innate masters helpless, but now I feel it even more strongly.

Kill him, kill Lingdong Sima!
"Buzzing."

The sounds of the endless locusts seemed to turn into howls. The worm demon shook his head, and then looked at a large number of mortals, as if they were an endless sea of ​​flames
"Zheng-"

A clear sword sound came, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on the worm demon's heart, and the hotness just now turned into severe cold in an instant.

"Ah hoo."

The howling of the monster was like howling ghosts and wolves, which made the hearts of many people driving away the locusts jump. Chu Hang even looked into the distance, knowing that Tianshi and Mai Daxia had made a move.

Mai Lingfei took advantage of his unpreparedness to strike with the sword, although he was not able to kill with one blow, he directly cut off the two insect feet of the worm monster, causing the worm monster to suffer terribly.

"Monster, we didn't win or lose last time!"

The worm demon was already terrified at this moment, and gave up Lingdong Sima, let alone confronted directly, and fled without saying a word.

"woo woo woo woo"

The worm demon brought a gust of evil wind, and even took away many locusts.

want to run?With a sword in his hand and a deeper understanding of monsters, Mai Lingfei's heart has changed a lot.

The sword in his hand pointed directly at the monster, and the blade of the sword pierced through the swarm of insects with vigor, like a sharp cone diverting water, it went straight to the locusts, and when the locusts fled, they exploded with a thunderous sound.

"Raise the net—"

shuh~ shuh~ shuh~
Hundreds of warriors with good martial arts from all sides put down their poles and showed up. Some jumped into the air and others relayed. Suddenly, large nets rose from the ground, and there were bells hanging on the nets, blocking the way of the insect monster.

When the locusts were completely gathered to form a disaster, the insect monsters were not easy to find, but now it is different. Although the location is still uncertain, wherever the locust swarms go, the insect monsters are likely to be there.

However, there is one thing that the worm monster is not wrong. It is now also a part of the disaster, and it needs the help of human power to really cull it, otherwise it may "turn evil into good fortune".

"Stop it!"

The warrior roared, it is really exciting to be able to kill monsters today.

"Bang~"

The worm monster directly rushed towards one of the large nets that were too close to avoid it, and felt thunder and pain the moment it touched the large net, and the four fighters who opened the net were directly taken away together, flying together with the demon wind to the sky.

"Careful!" "Catch the net!"

"Don't let the monster get away!"

The warriors below jumped up one by one with light work, everyone grabbed the net, and more people grabbed the former and forcibly tore the net off.

I don't know what kind of material this net is made of, so no matter how much the worm monster tore it, it couldn't be torn apart immediately.

A group of people dragged the net, and were dragged on the ground by the monster. Some warriors used their weapons to hit the insect monster, but often there was no effect. The hard carapace of the locust was more exaggerated on the monster, but those stabbed in the abdomen The weapons that are used can often make the insects howl.

Mai Lingfei chased after him, leaped towards the sky, and lowered his sword in the air.

"When~"

The forefoot entwined with evil spirit blocked the sword, but how could this insect demon compete with people in martial arts? Mai Lingfei's sword turned in the air, and the long sword directly cut off two tentacles with a twist.

"Pfft~" "Pfft~"

"Roar--"

At the moment when the worm demon was in pain, Mai Lingfei landed on its back and slapped down with innate qi.

"Bang~"

"Boom~"

The huge worm's body was hit into the field by this powerful palm, and the people who were being dragged around were able to stop their bodies, and they had places to borrow their strength. For a while, countless weapons fell like rain. Since the solid carapace is useless, Then all hello to the soft place.

Seeing this movement, the surrounding people were frightened to avoid it.

Mai Lingfei carried the sword on top, and just about to stab down, he was violently jerked by the worm monster. His body was unstable, but he still swung his sword, and directly chopped off half of the worm monster's flapping wings.

"Ow--"

The worm demon was in great pain. It had just shaken away all the warriors and broke free from the big net. It couldn't fly, and its body crashed into the burning pyre on one side.

"Boom~~"

The burning firewood exploded, and the wings of the insect monster were also set ablaze, which was even more exaggerated than pouring fire oil.

"Is there a monster?" "It's really a monster—"

"Bless the Holy Lord!"

Some of the people who culled the locusts also exclaimed when they saw the huge locusts.

"I ate you—"

In the pain, the worm demon wanted to die fiercely. Using the remaining worm legs and wings to maintain balance, he rushed towards Mai Lingfei, and the ghastly aura around him brought out gusts of ghastly wind, and countless locusts gathered.

"Good come!"

A Fei was not afraid, broke directly into the locust swarm, and rushed towards the insect demon by feeling.

Warriors around brought torches one after another, waved and slapped on the edge of the swarm, and inside was the confrontation between warriors and monsters.
During the whole process, Qi Zhongbin didn't show up. Of course, he observed all the changes in the situation and knew that there was no need to show up. The change of the disaster situation is also the best time to make a divination.

"Ow—"

Amidst the mournful howling of the worm monster, Qi Zhongbin's heart skipped a beat.

In the absence of another wave of calamity, Lingdong's aura has become clear.

At this moment, even Yi Shuyuan, who was spreading rain in the sky in other parts of Tailing East, felt it. A white dragon looked at the far corner of Mozhou in the wind and rain.

The things that caused the drought have been driven out of the three core states of Lingdong by the continuous rain to the relatively marginal Mozhou.

It was also at this moment that Yi Shuyuan had a kind of realization in his heart, is it really Hanba!
