Chapter 165 News of the Locust Plague
Chapter 165 News of the Locust Plague
Coming out of the ruins of the Temple of Ten Thousand Beasts, Chu Ye and Lin Chuwen returned to Liangjie City. The two left this time for more than half a year.
It was only when Chu Ye returned to Liangjie City that news of his death was spreading wildly in the city.
Unlike last time, the last time the two left was to go to the big city of Yunzhou, but this time someone saw the two of them going deep into the wild hunting.
Going to other big cities is naturally much safer than going out hunting.
Many people think that the two of them have not returned for a long time, and they probably died during the hunt. There are many soul pet masters who go hunting in the wilderness. Basically, if they don't return for three months, they will be considered dead.
After Chu Ye and Lin Chuwen left for more than half a year, there was no news. No wonder there were rumors that the two died.
Not long after the two of Chu Ye came back, Hu Mingyue brought someone to visit.
"Young Master Ye is finally back, why did you leave for so long this time?"
Chu Ye smiled and said, "I've encountered a little trouble and got stuck in one place."
Hu Mingyue nodded and said, "So that's the case."
There are many restricted areas in the Hundred Thousand Wilds, and it is common for soul pet masters to be trapped in one place and unable to get out.
"Young Master Chu is back this time, will you still collect the animal bones?"
Chu Ye nodded and said, "Accept, of course!"
Evil spirit is a good thing!The more the better, after being tempered in the Demon Refining Pool, many silver-winged bees stood out, seven or eight of the ninth-order silver-winged bees with golden spots appeared, and there were also a few silver-winged bees that mutated although there were no golden spots. The appearance is also very good, and the probability of advanced should be quite high.
Hu Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send them over later. The Qian family also collected a lot of animal bones. Look, Young Master Chu..."
Chu Ye said lightly: "There are not too many animal bones. I will take as many as there are."
Evil spirit is a good thing!It can also train warriors and serve as food for Xiaobai and other spirit beasts.
Opportunities like Demon Refining Pond can be met but never sought. Right now, if he wants to improve his strength, the best way is to cultivate a few more Silver-Winged Bees of the Warrior rank, so as to raise Little Silver's strength to the seventh rank of Warrior as soon as possible. .
The Demon Refining Pond has greatly improved the overall strength of the bee colony. Little Silver has already reached the peak of the sixth rank of Warrior, and is only one step away from being able to advance to the seventh rank of Warrior.
Hu Mingyue smiled and said, "Young Master Chu is refreshing, so Mr. Qian can feel at ease."
Chu Ye secretly said: Last time I traded animal bones, the old man got a lot of sweetness. Mr. Qian seems to have collected a lot of animal bones. If he died outside, no one would want the animal bones that the old man collected, probably because he was worried that the animal bones would be smashed. Is it in hand?Most likely.
The return of Chu Ye and Lin Chuwen had a great impact on Qian and Hu's family, but it did not cause much sensation in Liangjie City. There were many people coming and going in Liangjie City. There are also many people who go and never turn back.
The purchase price of the animal bones provided by Chu Ye was not bad. The Qian family made some difference in the price before, and tasted the sweetness. Afterwards, the scale of the Qian family's purchase of animal bones increased.
During the time the two left, the Qian family hoarded a lot of animal bones. The Qian family still felt that it was nothing if Chu Ye did not return for three months. The Qian family was a little worried when Chu Ye did not return for more than six months.
Not long after Chu Ye came back, the Qian family couldn't wait to send all the animal bones over.
Chu Ye looked at the pile of animal bones, and said, "The Qian family is still very powerful! They have collected so many animal bones."
Lin Chuwen nodded and said, "Yes!"
The animal bones sent by the Qian and Hu families should be enough to temper the evil spirit once.
Chu Ye held his chin and said with a half-smile: "The Qian family really cares about us! I heard that during the time we disappeared, the Qian family often went to the city to inquire about us."
Lin Chuwen: "You look very happy!"
Chu Ye smiled and said, "It is something to be happy that someone expects us to live so piously!"
Lin Chuwen: "..."
……
Time flies, and soon after more than a year.
Chicken in the cave!fish!The number of livestock such as herbal chickens has gradually increased.
Chu Ye and Lin Chuwen bred the silver dragon fish, which was very popular, and the transformation rate of the meat silkworm king also increased. Chu Ye also made a lot of money by selling the meat silkworm king.
Over the past year or so, Chu Ye collected some animal bones piecemeal, plus the animal bones that Xiaobai, Little Fox and other soul pets obtained from hunting.
Chu Ye carried out the refinement of evil spirit four times, and obtained a total of twelve parts of evil spirit.
After tempering in the Demon Refining Pond, and with the aid of awakening potions and level-breaking potions, the probability of the silver-winged bee's success in advancing to the next level has greatly increased.
In one year, Chu Ye cultivated another eight warrior silver-winged bees.
Chu Ye named these silver-winged bees Silver Four, Silver Five, Silver Six, Silver Seven, Silver Eight, Silver Nine, Silver Ten, and Silver Eleven.
With the addition of Xiaoyin and Yinxiaoer, the number of silver-winged bees in Chu Ye's hand rose to thirteen.
After the number of silver-winged bees rose to thirteen, Little Silver broke through the shackles and advanced to the seventh rank of Warrior, and Chu Ye officially entered the late stage of soul master.
If all the more than a dozen warrior silver-winged bees were released, it would definitely cause a sensation. However, it was still a little short of the army of silver-winged bees that Chu Ye dreamed of.
Lin Chuwen looked at the royal jelly in the jar and said, "The production of royal jelly is increasing!"
Chu Ye nodded, and said proudly, "Yes!"
As the number of warrior silver-winged bees increases, the amount of royal jelly produced also increases. Before, the amount of royal jelly had to be counted, but now it is no longer necessary.
Chu Ye recently brewed several kinds of spirit honey wine, which tasted good, and sent them to Yipinju for sale, and they were very popular.
Selling royal jelly directly is a bit eye-catching, but brewing royal jelly into mead and then selling it is not so eye-catching.
Spirit wine trading has become one of Chu Ye's main sources of income. By selling all kinds of spirit wine, Chu Ye gets almost 60 gold coins into his account every month.
Xiaobai also likes the taste of this wine very much, every day when he goes out, he will fill a space ring with spirit wine.
"Xiaobai has advanced to the fifth level!" Lin Chuwen said.
Chu Ye nodded and said, "Yes."
In the past year, Xiaobai has not been idle and has been hunting. Xiaobai and Mo Tuanzi's favorite hunting place is near the ruins of the Wanshou Temple.
The power of the liquid medicine in the Demon Refining Pool of the Temple of Thousand Beasts is very powerful, and Xiaobai and others hadn't completely absorbed the power of the liquid medicine in the Demon Refining Pool a few hours ago.
After Xiaobai and Mo Tuanzi hunted for a period of time, they would often go to the Demon Refining Pool to take a dip. The battle and the body quenching with medicinal liquid made Xiaobai's strength improve rapidly.
Lin Chuwen held his chin and said, "This speed is not slow!"
Chu Ye nodded and said, "It's really not slow."
"Little Silver's level is rising very quickly." The strength of the bee swarm has been increasing, and Little Silver has received feedback from the power of the bee swarm, and his strength has risen very quickly.
Little Yin has already reached the seventh rank of a warrior, and there are very few warrior soul masters who are less than 30 years old, even in a sect like Qing Yunzong.
"Little Silver's progress is not slow, but the animal bones are finally consumed."
The last time I refined the evil spirit, I almost emptied the animal bones in the inventory.
Although Xiaobai and the little fox have hunted many ferocious beasts recently, they still can't keep up with the consumption.
In addition, the surrounding ferocious beasts have been cleaned up. If you want to hunt the ferocious beasts, you can only go to a farther place.
Chu Ye rested his chin, thinking about the next plan, and the summoning bell rang.
Chu Ye closed his eyes and sensed the scene outside the cave.
"People from the Hu family and the Qian family are here."
Lin Chuwen frowned, and said, "Master Qian is here too!"
The two of Chu Ye and the Hu family walked closer. Mr. Qian always went to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.
Chu Ye held his chin and said, "Let's go and greet him."
Lin Chuwen nodded and said, "Okay."
……
Chu Ye welcomed the Qian and Hu families in, and warmly received them.
"Two fellow daoists are here, what's the matter?"
Hu Mingyue smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, but Qian Daoyou seems to have something important to say."
Chu Ye glanced at Mr. Qian, who was frowning deeply, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qian, did you find something? Could it be that there will be another wave of beasts?"
Old Master Qian looked at Chu Ye, and said solemnly: "Yes or no, Young Master Chu, do you know about the Patriarch of the Five Poisons?"
Chu Ye nodded and said, "I've heard of it." Y. U. X. I.
The Patriarch of the Five Poisons is a long-established soul king powerhouse, and his spirit beasts are all poisonous. The contracted beasts are somewhat similar to the contracted beasts of the Hu family. However, the strength of the Hu family is far behind that of the Patriarch of the Five Poisons.
"He has a grandson who contracted a locust king, and he is about to advance to the king rank." Mr. Qian said.
Chu Ye squinted his eyes, and the memory of locust plagues in Yunzhou and starvation flooded his mind again.
"Could it be that a plague of locusts is about to occur?"
Mr. Qian nodded and said, "It's very possible."
Chu Ye frowned and let out a sigh of relief. The locust plague had dealt a big blow to Yunzhou. Back then, the little poisonous king's locust swarm suffered a lot of losses. The locust king seemed to have failed to advance to the battle king. , Now, after a few years, the other party is planning to make a comeback.
Mr. Qian suddenly thought of something, and said, "Young Master Chu is from Yunzhou. He should have seen locust plagues before. How was the situation at that time?"
Chu Ye sighed, and said, "Where the locusts pass by, not even a blade of grass can grow. The big families have formations and soul masters to protect them, so the losses are slightly less. There are many ordinary people's fields that have nothing to harvest."
Old Master Qian frowned, and said: "The other party may choose to cast locusts in the Hundred Thousand Wilderness this time. If it is really like what I guessed, Liangjie City may be in danger."
Xiaobai flicked his tail, and said with some disdain: "Hmph, bug!"
Chu Ye glanced at Xiaobai, and thought to himself: Although locusts are bugs, it is scary to have too many bugs.
"The locust plague is terrible. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will cause even bigger disasters." Mr. Qian said worriedly.
Chu Ye looked at Old Man Qian, frowned, and said, "Is the old man worried about a beast tide?"
Mr. Qian nodded and said, "Yes."
Chu Ye took a deep breath and asked, "How many levels of animal swarms do you think the old man will have if the locust plague occurs?"
Mr. Qian took a deep breath and said, "If the locust plague is extremely terrifying, then a large animal swarm is not out of the question."
Hu Mingyue looked at Mr. Qian with a dark face, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qian, you can't talk nonsense!"
This large-scale beast tide happened only a few years ago. At that time, many families were destroyed by the beast tide. Jiecheng spent a few years recuperating, and finally recovered.
Previously, the two-world city mutual fair was held very successfully. More people came to settle in the two-world city. The two-world city took this opportunity to expand a lot. If there is another large-scale beast tide, I don’t know how many people will die.
Chu Ye frowned, and said: "If there is a locust plague, a large animal swarm is very likely."
The locusts will eat the vegetation along the way, the herbivorous beasts that have lost their food will run around, and the carnivorous beasts will run after their prey.
Among the [-] wildernesses, there are many dangerous places, and it is unknown how many powerful beasts are hidden in them.
Chu Ye couldn't help but think of the three bone snakes. In the past few years, Xiaoyin and the others have become much stronger. They shouldn't be so embarrassed when they meet the three bone snakes again, but if they are like the three giant pythons A few more such ferocious beasts would be enough.
"Master Chu, from Yunzhou, he must have faced locust swarms back then." Mr. Qian said.
Chu Ye nodded, and said: "Yes, but I was just a soul warrior at the time, staying in a small village. At that time, that village was not the focus of the locust attack, but it also suffered a lot. After the locust disaster, I I visited several big cities, and all of them suffered heavy losses, many fields were devoured by locusts, and the situation is very bad.”
Hu Mingyue frowned and said, "That's it!"
"If the insect disaster happened in the wilderness, the situation would be even more severe." Lin Chuwen, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but said.
Hu Mingyue looked at Lin Chuwen and asked, "How?"
"Most of the spiritual fields and big cities in Yunzhou are guarded by protective formations. When the locust plague occurred, many forces with bad relations put aside their grievances and cooperated to fight against the locust plague. However, it is different in the [-] wilderness. The wild beasts No collaboration at all."
Once a locust plague occurs, they must guard against the beast tide while dealing with the locust plague.
Hu Mingyue frowned, and said solemnly: "Is the situation so bad?"
Mr. Qian frowned, and said, "The situation may not be so bad, but we must always prepare for the worst."
Chu Ye held his chin and said, "Why is no one in charge of that little Poison King? The other party's contracted beast is the Locust King! If he has really advanced to the king rank, he probably won't give up easily. Those big men, just The soul beast that is not afraid of Fang Ming will eat up all the vegetation in this continent one day."
Mr. Qian hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard that before the locust swarm is at the king rank, the power will feed back to the locust king. When the locust king advances to the king rank, the locust subordinates under the banner will not be so obvious about feeding back to the locust king."
Chu Ye rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "So, those people think that after the Locust King advances to the king rank, he won't let his subordinates go out and eat indiscriminately."
Mr. Qian nodded and said, "Probably so."
Chu Ye sneered and said, "Is it possible?"
Locusts definitely want to eat, and they must eat more when they advance to the King of War. What kind of idiotic logic is this, to expect the locusts to lose their appetite after they advance to the King?
Lin Chuwen frowned, and thought to himself: The little poison king Fang Ming is supported by the ancestors of the five poisons, and the strong soul kings usually sweep the snow by themselves. Fighting with the ancestors of the five poisons for life and death.
The more powerful a person is, the more he cherishes his life. Those soul kings probably don't want to fight to the death with such a ruthless person as the ancestor of the five poisons.
Old Master Qian frowned, and said, "I heard that the Locust King's advancement speed is fast, but due to blood restrictions, after advancing to the Battle King, it is almost at the top."
Chu Ye nodded, and said, "Is that so!" Chu Ye secretly said: Fortunately, the growth of the Locust King is still somewhat limited, otherwise, there is no way for other soul masters to survive.
Lin Chuwen looked at Mr. Qian, and said, "Did Patriarch Kong Ming know about the locust swarm?"
Old Master Qian shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but with Patriarch Kong Ming's ability to control the wilderness, even if he doesn't know it now, he should know it soon."
