Locust

Chapter 78
Cao Cuo untied the red gourd from his waist, threw it to the undamaged white general, and ordered:

"Take the green locust and clean up the end of Qingchi Cave."

Bai Jiang half-kneeled to take the red gourd, the six wings on the worm armor fluttered, turned into green light, pierced the sky, and threw it in the direction of Qingchi Mountain...

"Master!"

Hao Jiantong's face was pale, he clutched his broken right arm and asked:

"Hao has lost an arm. I don't know if there is a magic medicine to treat this injury in the religion?"

The meaning of these words is obvious. I worked my life for you. This is a work-related injury. You are the leader, so you can't ignore it.

Although Hao Jiantong knew that there was another mid-stage Foundation Establishment lurking beside him, but the incident happened suddenly, Elder Qian's Silver Snake Sword was at an astonishing speed, and instantly smashed his right arm into pieces, making it impossible to continue.

If this injury cannot be healed, it may hinder his future practice, so he has to take care of it.

Cao Cuo took a look at his injuries. Seventy percent of his right arm was broken. It looked a bit miserable. If he used some of the precious blood of Jiang Gong, he could be reborn with a broken limb in seven days.

But there is no need for this. During the battle just now, Hao Jiantong wanted to escape after losing his arm, he knew it very well.

Master Cao said lightly, "It's just a broken arm. It's just a minor injury. After you go back, cook more blood-enriching soup and drink it while it's hot. After a year or so, the broken limb can regenerate."

"Cook some blood-enriching soup?"

Hao Jiantong was dumbfounded, what the leader said was human words...

What Cao Cuo said was true, and he didn't scare him. The symbiotic organization of the green locust did have this effect, and he also learned from the recovery speed of Bai Jiang's injury.

"Swoosh!" The Qingshen Baoding flew into his hand.

This treasure tripod is extremely mysterious, nearly half of the restraints in the tripod are damaged, and the grade cannot be seen.

But just based on the various magical functions of this thing and the ability to hold living things, it is very likely that it is a missing magic weapon. Even if it is damaged, its current power can be compared to a peerless magic weapon.

Cao Cuo mentioned the green locust on the ground. This insect was cut in half by the magic sword and lost [-]% of its body. It seems to be dying now, but as long as there is enough blood and food, it will be a complete insect again after ten days and a half months of cultivation.

"This time you are the biggest contributor, it's really hard work for you."

"Kakakakakakaka..."

The green locust kept grinding its mouthparts, not knowing whether it was being humble or asking for credit.

Cao mistakenly put the damaged green locust into the tripod, and put the two corpses of Elder Qian into the tripod.

Complement the shape with the shape to help the green locust recover from the injury.

The sound of green locusts eating could be faintly heard in the cauldron...

……

"Zizzizi..."

A red lotus fire flew out, burning Elder Liu's body to ashes...

In an instant, Elder Liu's body was gone, only a small red lotus was left.

Cao mistakenly took the red lotus into his heart, and suddenly a huge energy began to nourish the body.

"I'm losing both energy and blood, so I can only use Red Lotus Karma Fire as an emergency."

The red lotus karmic fire is domineering and can take away the essence of life to nourish the body, but this is an evil way after all. Indulging in it will not only pollute one's own qi, blood and mana, but also easily breed demons, so the wise don't take it.

Hao Jiantong was trembling at the side: The leader has the blood river inheritance, and the practice of cannibalism is just for leisure, so don't let him use him as an "emergency"...

……

After counting the gains of this battle, Cao Cuo was quite satisfied:
"Two storage bags, two flying swords, and they are all high-grade magical weapons. It seems that the financial resources of this fantasy building are not bad. They are so rich. The ancients did not deceive me."

Huanlou makes a fortune by killing people, and kills the people in Huanlou to get rich, and they pay for what they pay.

Cao Cuo found a special item from Elder Qian's storage bag. It was a gray stone jar. In the stone jar, a blue crystal ball was sealed, the size of a fist.

The crystal ball exudes strong mental fluctuations, but the breath is very mixed.

"Is this the soul spirit collected by Huanlou? It seems that they didn't kill more than 3000 disciples of my Stone Sect."

Cao Cuo looked serious. This special blue crystal ball can absorb essence, and at least [-] essences are stored in it.

……

"not good!"

Cao Cuo, who was still counting the harvest, suddenly froze, and said coldly:
"There have been changes in Qingchi Mountain, let's go there immediately."

Hao Jiantong asked in surprise: "Could it be that Qingchi Mountain still has masters? Even the white generals can't deal with it?"

Cao Cuo didn't respond. He waved his sleeves and put away all his belongings.

"go!"

The Fire Lin Saber turned into a red light, enveloping the two of them, cutting through the night sky, and throwing it towards Qingchi Mountain...

……

Chiman escaped into the Green Pond Cave.

The hive-like tunnel was seriously damaged. Obviously, after a great battle, puppets and corpses were everywhere, and all the disciples of Qingchi Cave died, probably from the mouth of the seven lurking green locusts.

just now.

These seven green locusts have all been killed, and their corpses were dismembered in the Green Pond Cave. They looked miserable and scattered all over the place.

Cao Cuo's face was ugly, and he drove the red light to escape into the core cave.

Bai will be here.

But it has been chopped into six sections, and the limbs, torso, and head are separated, which is extremely tragic.

But he didn't "dead". The white general was originally a puppet, and the current core is the symbiotic organization in his abdomen. As long as it is repaired with the human puppet technique, it can be restored to its original state.

Cao wrongly pressed his hand on the white general's abdomen to receive the complete information from the green locust gu.

After knowing the reason for the change in the cave, he took a deep breath and said with emotion:

"Sure enough, it's impossible for everything to go smoothly. The people in the illusion building should not be underestimated..."

"Master, what happened?"

"It's the four who have completed their Qi training. I thought it was a miscellaneous fish, but I didn't expect that there was a big crocodile hidden in it. Unfortunately, he ran away this time..."

"..."

Cao Cuo knew everything that just happened through the information transmitted by the green locust:
A quarter of an hour ago.

When the white general fled into the Qingchi cave, the seven green locusts immediately violently killed the disciples in the cave.

With the absence of the two foundation-building monks, the disciples who stayed behind in the cave were in great trouble, unable to resist the attack of the seven green locusts.

Seeing that everything was going well, General Bai didn't release the rest of the green locusts in the red gourd, but went directly to the core cave, intending to take down the four monks who had perfected their qi training.

Unexpectedly, these four soft-shelled turtles actually hide a predator.

General Bai killed the bitter "Senior Sister Chen" with a single blow, and was about to attack the second person, the taciturn "Senior Brother Zhang".

Variation protrusions.

Junior brother Zhang was seriously injured, and when he was about to die, a powerful spiritual force surged from his body, and his pupils turned blue.

Pushing out with one palm, 36 blue crystal diamonds were generated out of thin air, condensed into a crystal clear sword...

It was the "Crystal Killing Sword Style".

With a flash of the crystal sword, the white general was instantly cut into six sections, and the other two were wrapped up, and escaped from the Green Pond Cave very quickly, and even killed the seven green locusts blocking the way.

This person's sudden burst of spiritual consciousness has a ray of alchemy power, which is definitely not something to be taken lightly.

When he killed the white general, he had the strength close to forming a pill, and when he killed the seven green locusts, he only had the strength in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

It can be seen that this state cannot be maintained for a long time. If Cao is wrong on the scene, there may be hope of keeping the other party.

Pity.

Cao mistakenly put away the red gourd in Bai Jiang's arms, thankfully said:
"Fortunately, you were smart enough to let the seven companions make a big splash and scare the man away, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable."

The green locust buzzed and seemed to agree.

"Go ahead and clean up..."

Cao wrongly released the green locust, and used the Qingshen Baoding to "conquer" the white general.

It would take a lot of effort to recover the puppet's injuries.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

The green locusts have been cleaned up, and they have returned one after another, shrinking and returning to the red gourd.

Cao Cuo said with satisfaction:
"In less than half a day, the three strongholds of the illusion building were flattened, which can be regarded as avenging the blood of the disciples of the Stone Sect."

Hao Jiantong knew very well that this "blood feud" had something to do with him, so fortunately he joined the Stone Cult, otherwise, with the style of the leader, his fate would probably be in the belly of the green locust.

Xianshi Hao felt uneasy, and changed the topic:
"Master, three people have escaped from the Green Pond Cave. I'm afraid the magic building will get news soon and send people to investigate. Let's evacuate quickly."

Cao Cuo said calmly: "Their speed is not that fast, and it's not too short of that hour and a half."

Hao Jiantong said respectfully: "The leader has other orders."

"good."

Cao Cuo looked at the other party and said: "After you go back to the worship building, you don't need to expose your foundation building cultivation, take good care of your wounds, and you have the hidden breath of the sting technique, and the rest of you will not be able to see your details."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

"After this battle, Huanlou will definitely send people to investigate secretly in Shiling City. Lu Qian and the others have already hidden in the stronghold. We are not afraid of them coming to investigate, but it is safer to have you, an insider, secretly cover."

"Don't worry, the leader, the magic building has limited knowledge of my teachings, so I won't keep staring at Shiling City. The stronghold of Jinyuan is safe, and I will keep an eye on it secretly and report the news in time."

Cao Cuo continued:
"The second thing is that after a while, when the limelight passes, you find time to go to Iron Cloud City to be a town for a while, where Hongxiu and the others have built a stronghold called Zhuyi Pavilion. In some cases, you need to have Foundation Establishment to come forward. Deter some Xiaoxiao."

Zhu Yige is the force formed by Hongxiu and others, and there are not many people, but she took advantage of Yin Nanting's disappearance and the leaderless dragons in Tianying Hall, so she sucked a wave of blood and recruited many talents.

Even if Yin Nanting came back, he would have nothing to say about this matter. After all, the huge debt he owed to "[-] Fire Crow Talismans" disappeared, so it was understandable for Hongxiu to recruit some people to pay off the debt.

The original talisman business of Tianyingtang is now secretly in charge of Jin Tong and Hou Shan, at least guaranteeing Cao Cuo's annual talisman sales.

Huanlou captured Yin Nanting for another reason, not because of the talisman. Therefore, Cao Cuo's capital chain has not been broken, which is gratifying.

Hao Jiantong complained in his heart: I can't enjoy the cards of a foundation-building monk, and I have to be a bodyguard for a group of juniors, which is too bullying.

But he said: "Don't worry, the leader, this matter will be settled by Hao Mou."

Cao Cuo glanced at him and looked at Hao Jiantong with fear.

Through the green locust Gu, this person's mood fluctuates, Cao is very clear.

But this matter is normal, and he is not a harsh person, only Hao Jiantong does things with his heart, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he will not care.

Cao Cuo continued to order:
"The last thing, you have a wide network of people. You must know a lot of monks who have perfected the Qi training state. Find some reliable ones and introduce them to the teaching. I have my own treasure Gu and magic medicine to help them build their foundations. In the future, these foundation-building monks will It can all be managed by you.”

Hao Jiantong shuddered in his heart, this is the fact that the leader is delegating power, this is a real power and benefit, in the future the Stone Sect will grow step by step, and he will be the patriarch.

He replied sincerely: "Don't worry, Hierarch, I have quite a few friends who are quite reliable. They had no hope of establishing a foundation, and when they learned that the Hierarch had given him the magical medicine of Tongtian Pill, they would definitely join the Hierarch and work for the Hierarch."

"Cough! If you do these three things with your heart, I will never treat you badly."

Cao patted the opponent on the shoulder by mistake.

"It's almost time, it's almost time for the magic building to get the news, let's withdraw."

"Yes."

Two escaping lights flew out of Qingchi Mountain.

One is in the direction of Shiling City.

One shot directly in the direction of Shoushanfang City.

Cao mistakenly used a talisman bought on the black market, sneaked back to Fangshi, and returned to the main cave of Chunlei Yuan.
