The morning sun had not had time to drive away the smog.
A thunderous roar shook the desolate Yanbo Forest to rumble.
In just one night, the largest forest outside Boluo City, Yanbo Forest has changed its old appearance.
"What's going on here?" Dressed in a yellow hunting robe, his face was so gloomy that it could almost drip ice scum. Fa Xiaoyun, the monarch of the Shang Kingdom, was furious.
The significance of the Yanbo Forest to the entire Shang Kingdom is known to the royal family of the entire Shang Kingdom.
The land snapping turtle, which was almost as old as Shang Guo, was left by the ancestors.
Every emperor of the Shang Kingdom would be told the story of the god tortoise to strengthen the country since he was a child.
In the early years, the monarchs of the Shang Kingdom would send imperial guards to guard the Yanbo Forest, but the tortoise was ferocious by nature, and any people and mysterious beasts that came close would be swallowed by it.
After a long time, the monarch of the Shang Kingdom just followed what the ancestors said, and raised a group of mysterious beasts around the periphery for the snapping turtles to eat.
Unexpectedly, this morning, after the rooster crowed three times, the celestial master of the Tianji Pavilion in the palace rushed to report overnight, saying that there was a bloody disaster in the Yanbo Forest outside Boluo City.
Fa Xiaotian didn't take it seriously at the time, and didn't immediately send troops to the suburbs. He had accidentally entered the Yanbo Forest when he was young. If he didn't have the blood of the Fa family on him, he might have been swallowed by the snapping turtle. The ugly snapping turtle, and the narrow-minded Fa Xiaoyun felt very disgusted.
What's more, Fa Xiaoyun has always believed that there are no fierce beasts or masters that can endanger the survival of snapping turtles in the country of Shang.
Unexpectedly, at dawn, General Tianwei came to report that there was a riot of mysterious beasts outside Boluo City, which almost disturbed the people.
Lord Xiaoyi led his troops to resettle the frightened people early in the morning, and sent troops to drive away the mysterious beasts. When the army arrived at the Yanbo Forest, everyone was shocked by the sight before them.
This was the second time to report to Fa Xiaoyun.
Standing in the Yanbo forest, it is no wonder that Fa Xiaoyun is so angry. What used to be full of trees and flowers, now there are only scars left.
The forest within a radius of ten miles is even more horrible than having been scoured by fire or floods. Not a single blade of grass grows, not a single hair grows.
"General Tianwei, you have fought on the battlefield for many years, and you have experienced many battles against mysterious beasts. Look, whether the snapping turtle is dead or alive, and you have made the Yanbo Forest into this look," Fa Xiaoyun said. Take a breath.
It is understandable to say that it has experienced more than ten years of natural and man-made disasters, but the land in front of me is like a cursed tomb of hell, not only cannot be restored in a short period of time, even in decades, it is difficult to recover. Return to the old scene.
The snapping turtle disappeared completely, leaving no trace of it.
General Tianwei also looked embarrassed when he heard the question. Before dawn this morning, he felt a powerful fluctuation of profound energy in the direction of Yanbo Forest, but the fluctuation lasted for a short time. He only thought that It was the snapping turtle who lost his temper again. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't bother to provoke that seventh-rank snapping turtle.
Unexpectedly, he finally found that the breath of the snapping turtle had completely disappeared.
Even though he has experienced countless fierce battles in his life, he has never seen such a battlefield.
All the branches and leaves of the trees have been gnawed away, even the grass roots on the ground have been dug out, and the trunks have been hollowed out.
It is said that the snapping turtle is dead, but there is not even a drop of blood on the ground, but if it is not dead, how can it explain the fierce fighting marks on the ground out of thin air.
In such a situation, even a person like General Tianwei, who is used to all kinds of situations, can't explain why for a while.
Seeing that General Tianwei was still unwilling to come to a conclusion, Fa Xiaoyi took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to my minister, this is not like a normal fierce fight, but rather like experiencing a beast tide."
"It's nonsense, there aren't a lot of mysterious beasts around the Shang Kingdom, where did the beast tide come from," Fa Xiaoyun reprimanded impatiently when Fa Xiaoyi suddenly mentioned the beast tide.
He and Fa Xiaoyi had a quarrel since they were young, but since the death of the late emperor and he hooked up with Princess Fei Se, he treated Fa Xiaoyi a little better, but that was just a facade.
A few days ago, I heard that Fa Xiaoyi's marriage was broken off and his reputation was ruined. Fa Xiaoyun was secretly happy for a long time, and the public's evaluation of Fa Xiaoyi also plummeted.
But early this morning, Fa Xiaoyi's behavior of appeasing the people and expelling the mysterious beast won him back some praise, which made Fa Xiaoyun very unhappy.
"Your Majesty, what I said about the beast swarm is not an ordinary beast swarm, but a swarm of insects and beasts. Although the Shang Kingdom does not have a large number of mysterious beasts inhabiting it, because it is located in a warm tropical zone, there are many insect species." Fa Xiaoyi did not agree. Annoyed, he took a step forward.
"Weichen has been to the barbarian tribes in the south. When there was a pest plague in spring, the situation was very similar to the forest in front of us." Fa Xiaoyi bowed and led Fa Xiaoyun to walk aside.
"This is the trace of the earth-eating ants gnawing at the country. The trees are hollow. This is the trace of the Qiwei Peak's bite. The ground is full of wormholes, and..." Fa Xiaoyi said eloquently.
Beast swarm is an extremely terrifying word on the mainland, and insect swarm is an extremely terrifying term. For the monarch of any country, it is the most terrifying word.
In the history of the continent, the only few insect swarms have caused devastating disasters.
Zerg, as the lowest level of existence among profound beasts, if they appeared alone, no profound practitioner would take them seriously.
But if the Zerg appeared in groups, it would undoubtedly be terrifying. The Zerg is the oldest of all races, and at the same time the one with the strongest reproductive ability. You can wipe out an entire Zerg team.
But even if there is a single insect egg left, a whole new Zerg army can be bred in just a few days.
An infestation of insects means that the ground is full of hunger, an influx of insects means that there is no harvest, and an influx of insects means that there are many bones.
"Enough." Looking at the riddled insect bites, Fa Xiaoyun felt his heart shudder, but he couldn't help agreeing with Fa Xiaoyi's opinion.
Only the swarm of insects, the raging and indestructible swarm of insects, can explain why a seventh-order snapping turtle ended up with no bones left and no blood left. Even high-level profound beasts would probably be powerless to fight against the raging insect swarm of millions or tens of millions.
General Tianwei glanced at Fa Xiaoyi gratefully, and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the plan for now is not to find out the whereabouts of snapping turtles, but to quickly find out the cause of the insect swarm. There is also a suggestion from my minister, Burning this forest with a fire can burn the insect eggs here and prevent the formation of a second insect swarm. Second, it can create the illusion of a fire, and beware of people from other countries who have inquired about this news."
Now that the country of Shang is safe and peaceful, if the outside world finds out about the existence of the bug swarm, it will undoubtedly shake the hearts of the people, and even alarm some interested people.
The three people present are undoubtedly experts in playing tricks. It's a pity that they overlooked one point. No one connected the matter of Yanbo Forest to Xuan Zhe, and no one would have thought that at this moment, the people in Boluo City In a certain yard of , someone is cleaning up the mess for this snapping turtle incident.
It wasn't until the next day when the sky was bright and she returned to the rented small courtyard that Yue Jinghua gradually remembered what kind of life-and-death battle she and her profound beasts had experienced last night.
This time, the profound beasts suffered heavy losses, but relatively, they also gained a lot.
Among them, the sable leopard was the most seriously injured. Its limbs were severely injured by the soil thorns, and it was only saved by Yue Jinghua's infusion of a few strands of good fortune.
According to Qingpu's suggestion, Yue Jinghua first fed Shan Diaobao a Dragon King Pill, and then placed it in the Moxi Star Consciousness Sea. Shan Diaobao temporarily entered a dormant period. Whether or not the cultivation base is declining is still unknown for the time being.
The cannibal Xiaoqingpo benefited the most. Not only did it develop the second mysterious skill - Pu Zhishun, after devouring a large amount of snapping turtle's flesh, its body surface also underwent some changes.
Compared with the first contract with Yue Jinghua, the cannibal little green cattail has not changed much, but its plant body has become stronger, and it has advanced to become a third-order devouring cattail. Suddenly, the cattail leaves became several inches larger, and on the leaves grew barbs shaped like thorns on the surface of snapping turtles.
"Puff puff puff," dozens of piercing thorns shot out, like a series of bullets, instantly blasting a boulder in the yard to pieces.
Yue Jinghua was very satisfied with this, and of course she was even more satisfied with the chain benefits brought to her by the cannibal Xiaoqing Dangong's advanced stage, the second mysterious skill, Pu Zhishun.
After simply discussing with the cannibal Xiao Qingpu, Yue Jinghua learned the most basic teleportation. Although her teleportation has great limitations, each teleportation consumes nearly 30% of the profound energy, and the teleportation distance is not large. If it exceeds ten feet, it can only be used up to three times a day, which is more than a star and a half behind the real cannibal Xiao Qingpu.
Regarding the secret of the mysterious spirit wood technique, it is also a profound technique, whether it is the first spiritual wood mysterious technique Pu Zhiyin, or the second spiritual wood mysterious technique Pu Zhishen, she is so much worse than the cannibal Xiaoqingpu in using it . Yue Jinghua also asked Qingpu for advice, and Qingpu explained after doing so much, only saying that there was a gap in mental power, and in the future when Yue Jinghua advanced in mental power and cultivation, it would be better.
Such an answer made Yue Jinghua even more puzzled, could it be that the seemingly weak little Qingpu's mental power is so sturdy? But why didn't she see it at all.
But her doubts only lasted for a moment, because she had more important things to attend to right now.
Yue Jinghua never forgot that in her wish gourd, there was a whole snapping turtle remnant.
A snapping turtle with a lifespan of hundreds of years, as long as that of the Shang Dynasty, is a considerable fortune for Yue Jinghua, who is often rich and poor.
Wealth belongs to wealth, and now Yue Jinghua still has to worry about how to deal with this pile of wealth,
