"According to a book about hybrid rice and Plant Grafting that I saw in the Sutra Library, through the grafting and cultivation of different species, the genes of each other are converted and integrated. Although I don't quite understand what genes mean, this should be like the mating of wild boars and domestic pigs, which will give birth to a new type of pig between wild boars and domestic pigs."
"I used the grafting method to cultivate Sichuan pepper and chili pepper for dozens of times before I finally succeeded in cultivating the real spicy chili pepper. The grafting technique cannot succeed in one go, so failure is the most normal thing."
"This time, I'm cross-breeding the snow pear tree with rice. I hope to blend the delicious taste of the snow pear directly into the rice, which will be crispy and sweet. What a wonderful experience that will be. I've tried it several times, and whether I can succeed depends on this time."
The man surnamed Song murmured secretly in his heart.
He is full of anticipation for the new varieties he is about to cultivate.
My mood suddenly became very good.
Once such a variety is cultivated, it is even possible to directly upgrade the grade of this rice to the level of spiritual rice. Once spiritual rice is cultivated, he can imagine that the entire Xuanhuang City will definitely undergo tremendous changes. Apart from anything else, the cultivators eat spiritual rice, which has great benefits for cultivation.
"This is a paradise for the human race. I should work hard to make Xuanhuang City stronger."
After learning that there are spiritual foods like spiritual rice and spiritual grains in this world, his goal is to cultivate spiritual species.
Now we only have ordinary grain rice seeds and ordinary vegetable plants. These plants and rice seeds, after being planted, have a very high yield. Moreover, due to the different environment, they have undergone some mutations and began to contain a trace of spiritual energy. However, these are not spiritual plants and vegetables, they are just contaminated with a trace of spiritual energy. The taste is better than before, but there has been no fundamental qualitative change.
Perhaps after repeated planting and improvement, and after several or even dozens of years of cultivation, it is possible for these grains to transform into spiritual grains. But that is a probability, and who knows how long it will take, and how many times it will require improvement, before a fundamental transformation can occur under the creation of nature.
That is why he was thinking about how to improve rice so that it could have a chance to be promoted to spiritual grain.
What he enjoyed was the joy of success, the process of transformation, and the joy of harvest.
Old Song is in a good mood.
Step by step, we came to the farmland.
But when he arrived, his face suddenly changed. His whole body was shaking. He saw that in the farmland, there were broken stalks everywhere, not just one or two, but large pieces.
After the mutation, the rice grew very fast, and the stalks became longer, thicker, stronger, and tougher. The most common rice, once mature, could grow to two or three meters high. The rice produced was naturally more in quantity, and the yield per mu was extremely high.
In particular, the newly cultivated rice grows taller, no less than three or four meters. The rice is fuller, and each grain is as big as a grape. It looks like pearls. It is very pleasing.
Now they fell to the ground one after another.
The stalks of rice were bitten off and the grains of rice were destroyed and eaten.
Most of the three mu of good farmland he cultivated had been destroyed. The same situation was also seen in other people's farmland nearby.
"My Xueli Mi, it's over, it's all over."
"Rats, damn rats, why are there so many rats suddenly? Is this a rat plague?"
"My snow pear rice is almost ripe, but it's infested with rats. It's over. All my efforts of several months have been wasted. I'll kill you rats."
When Old Song saw the scene in the field, he was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
All the rice had been destroyed. In the fields, one could clearly see huge rats frantically gnawing at the rice, straw, etc. Their eyes were red with bloodthirstiness. The smallest of them was as big as a puppy of a few months old. Not to mention the big ones, which were as big as calves. It was shocking to see.
Wrecking havoc in the fields.
These rats appeared out of nowhere and attacked the surrounding fields as soon as they appeared, destroying countless fields.
puff!!
The hoe in Old Song's hand was very accurate. With one hoe, he dug directly into the head of a mouse that was holding a straw and gnawing at it. With a crisp sound, blood spurted out, and the brain was directly splattered. Blood spurted out.
"This is a ferocious beast, but it has only just entered the first level. Where did these rats come from? There are so many of them. This time the crops are completely ruined."
Old Song killed a mouse, and was surprised. He found that the mice in the field were not afraid, but stared at him with red eyes and rushed towards him quickly. They were very fierce. These were no ordinary mice. They were beast-level mice.
"God damn it, what's going on? Where did all these mice come from? My crops are in trouble."
"It's over. The vineyard I planted is all gone. Everything is gone. These rats, damn rats. My months of hard work have all gone to waste in an instant."
"Rats, so many rats. Quick, notify the city and call for help to kill all the rats. This is a rat plague."
At this time, some people had already left the city and came to the fields. They immediately found that the fields were full of huge rats, which were desperately eating the crops in the fields. Everything was ruined, and everything was gone overnight.
Ding ding ding!!
In the city, rapid bells rang out.
"Hurry, there are rats. The rats are eating the crops and destroying the fields. Go and kill the rats."
"There are so many rats. They are vicious beasts. It's a rat plague. The rats are attacking Xuanhuang City. I don't know how they crossed the Iron Blood Great Wall and appeared directly outside Xuanhuang City. This time, the crops that have been grown for several months have been completely destroyed. The loss is huge."
"Let's kill the rats together. These are fierce beasts. We can eat their meat, fur, and bones after we kill them. The Ten Thousand Treasures Hall has been storing bones of various fierce beasts for a long time. The price has always been very stable. Normally, we cannot go deep into the wilderness, so now is a good opportunity to kill fierce beasts. If they destroy the crops, let them pay with their lives."
The news was immediately transmitted back to the city. Immediately, many people who were still eating breakfast in the city became furious. They picked up various weapons and rushed out of the city.
The Hunter Hall responded almost immediately.
An urgent red task appears in the task list.
Eradicate the rat plague!!
A large number of vicious rats have appeared in the fields outside the city, destroying the fields and eating the crops, which can easily bring a huge plague. Forming a plague. It is harmful to the people in the city. Now a task is issued. Kill a vicious rat. With its rat tail, you can come to the Hunter Hall to collect the bounty. One rat tail is one eternal coin. During the task, the more you kill, the more bounty you will get.
Run, Hunter!!
"What a generous reward. The bounty is very high. Rats are social animals. They gather in groups. Once the number increases, they will become quite difficult to deal with. But as long as there are enough hunters, it is not difficult to hunt down the ferocious beast. The individual strength of rats is the weakest among the ferocious beasts."
"I seem to see a large amount of Eternal Coins running towards me. One transaction can equal the harvest of several days before. As long as there are enough hunters, safety is actually the least of our worries."
"These rats actually dared to come to our Xuanhuang City to cause trouble. They are simply courting death. They are walking into a trap. Come on, who will come with me? After killing the rats, we can get a meal. We only need to pay for the rat tails. The rest of the meat belongs to us. We can sell it and earn another income."
The bounty hunter who was originally looking for a mission in the Hunter Hall immediately became excited and called his friends to rush out together.
But this task is not as simple as imagined.
When a large number of people arrived, they found that the rats that had been wreaking havoc in the fields had mysteriously disappeared in a short period of time. There were only some dead rats and a mess of crops on the ground.
"What's going on? Where are the mice? We said there were mice. Why are they gone?"
"Damn it, these rats actually escaped. They must have escaped by digging holes underground. Aren't these beasts not very smart? Moreover, they are even more fearless when they form a group. Why would they suddenly retreat? Killing these few rats alone will definitely not scare away the entire group. This is a bit weird. Is there a rat king with great intelligence in this group of rats?"
"There are so many holes in the ground. They must have dug holes to escape. Damn it! These stinky rats actually did this to us. I thought it was a simple task, but it turned out to be so difficult."
"We need to find a way to force these rats out from underground. Otherwise, they will definitely appear again in the future. This is a big problem. If this continues, there will definitely be a rat plague."
These rats will not engage you head-on. Instead, they will use the tactic of advancing when the enemy retreats and retreating when the enemy advances.
Even mice can use tactics now, and many people feel a little headache.
A large number of rats are hiding underground. This trouble is definitely not ordinary. If it breaks out, it will cause huge chaos.
"Hehe!! The bloodlines in these rat groups are naturally restrained and influenced by our rat people. Any one of them can become a natural king in the rat group. There are millions of rats in this area, and they are all under my control. This time, I have to play with these humans."
"First, we will destroy your crops in the farmland, and then we will completely empty your granaries and eat everything up. I wonder how you can hold on without food. Let's create chaos. Chaos is fun. It's really not fun to be so peaceful like this."
Underground, one could suddenly see a ratman monk wearing a black rat suit, laughing strangely.
