Yang Junshan's first reaction was that monster insects appeared among the giant locusts!
Only demonized giant locusts can know how to let adults raise larvae. It is impossible for all the countless giant locusts in the valley to be demonized, so there must be a demonized insect king among these giant locusts. .
This insect king controls the giant locusts in the entire valley, restraining them from rushing out of the valley. At the same time, he orders the adults to collect food from branches and leaves from the surrounding mountains and forests for the larvae to gnaw on.
Yang Junshan can imagine that once all the giant locusts in this valley grow into adults, then as long as the Insect King gives the order, countless giant locusts will rush out of the valley and out of Quwu Mountain.
He walked around Yang Junshan along the woods on the edge of the valley, paying close attention to the movements of the giant locusts in the valley, trying to find the insect king hidden in it. However, the giant locusts in the valley were so densely packed that even the size of the insect king might be bigger. It is larger than other giant locusts, perhaps because of the demonization and has some characteristics that are obviously different from other giant locusts, but it is difficult to find them.
Yang Junshan sneaked along the edge of the valley, and at the same time quietly killed several giant locusts that flew into the woods to look for food, and then saved the giant locust corpses and put them in his waist bag.
However, when Yang Junshan walked towards the woods on the south slope of the valley, he found that the number of giant locusts flying to this forest was getting smaller and smaller, and the number of giant locusts flying to the south became smaller and smaller. The pungent smell that permeated the woods was getting stronger and stronger.
At this time, Yang Junshan discovered that both the ground and the leaves and branches of this forest were covered with a layer of yellow-brown dust. It stands to reason that mountain winds often blow in the forest, and when the branches and leaves are swaying, very little dust falls on them. .
Carefully putting a piece of dusty leaf to his nose and sniffing, a smell far more pungent than the one permeating the woods rushed straight into his mind, making Yang Junshan couldn't help but sneeze.
Moreover, Yang Junshan also discovered that these yellow-brown dusts are extremely adhesive. After falling on the leaves, they did not fall off no matter how much he shook them. Even if he blew hard with his mouth, he could not blow away the yellow-brown dust.
This was definitely done on purpose. The pungent smell of the medicine dust prevented the giant locusts in the valley from foraging to the south. Once the locust plague breaks out in the future, they will probably instinctively avoid the south direction and sweep all the way north. This This is probably because the locust plague in the previous life swept through half of Yu County soon after it broke out from Quwu Mountain, but the damage to Zhang County was extremely limited.
The plague of giant locusts turns out to be both a natural disaster and a catastrophe!
Yang Junshan was almost certain that the people who spread the medicinal powder must be the same group of people who purchased Linggu in Huangshan Town. However, a huge locust plague swept half of Yu County. The swarm of insects in the valley in front of him was obviously not enough. In other words, there are no one knows how many similar insect swarms there are in the entire Quwu Mountain.
And the Zhangjun force known to Yang Junshan, represented by a wolf head, probably does not have the power to monitor so many swarms. In other words, if you want to control the entire Quwu Mountain giant locust swarm, at least multiple forces in Zhangjun will need to join forces. Action makes it possible.
Yang Junshan, who was sneaking, suddenly stopped and hid behind a giant tree. Just on the path he was walking forward, there was a clever early warning trap placed there. If Yang Junshan hadn't been an experienced person, Mountain hunters can't detect it at all
He sensed this trap, and as long as he touched it even slightly, he might be discovered by someone hiding in secret.
The appearance of an early warning trap means that the station of this group of monks monitoring the insect swarm should be nearby, but I don't know if this group of people has been led to the north by him to catch up, or there are still people left behind.
Yang Junshan carefully bypassed the early warning trap and continued to move forward. During the process, he discovered two early warning arrangements. A small open area appeared in front of him, and in the center of the open area was a house made of logs that was half buried underground. .
There was silence all around, and no one could be seen here, but Yang Junshan still did not dare to be careless. He took the two talismans seized from Junior Brother Cheng in his hand, and at the same time put the talisman dagger in his hand so that he could pull it out easily. When you come out, you slowly approach the wooden house.
Judging from Yang Junshan's experience, there should be at least six or seven monks temporarily stationed in this camp, and these people just left not long ago. Judging from the things left in the camp, these people obviously left in a hurry, and died there Senior Brother Ma learned from Brother Ma that this camp should be headed by Senior Brother Zhao, and this person should undoubtedly be a martial artist monk.
After gently opening the door of the wooden house and finally confirming that there was no one in the camp and no traps were left, Yang Junshan finally relaxed and began to search the camp carefully.
Monks usually carry important items with them, and the monks in this camp are no exception. In addition to about 500 kilograms of spiritual grain, there are some leftover preserved meats and barbecues in the wooden house. Among them, Yang Junshan even The meat of two or three ferocious beasts could be distinguished, and they must have been hunted from Quwu Mountain, but I don't know if they harvested fairy spirits.
Yang Junshan also found a spirit-sealing barrel over a foot high and a spirit-sealing box one foot wide and half a foot thick in a corner.
After opening the spirit-sealing barrel, a strong bloody smell emanated from the barrel. Inside was half a barrel of plasma that would not coagulate after being treated with spirit-sealing. This plasma is the blood of ferocious beasts and can be used by monks in the mortal realm to write. Talismans can save a lot of spiritual energy.
The spirit-sealing box contained tanned ferocious beast leather, neatly divided into more than twenty pieces. These ferocious beast leathers were used as talisman-making paper and could be kept for a long time. The spiritual power in the talisman will not dissipate and its power will not decrease.
The spirit-sealing bucket is too big and inconvenient to carry, but Yang Junshan is not polite about the more than twenty pieces of fierce beast leather and the spirit-sealing box.
In addition, there are a lot of medicinal materials dried in the open space around the camp. They should have been collected by the monks stationed here in Quwu Mountain in their spare time. Although most of them are ordinary medicinal herbs, they are good. It is full of medicinal power in old times, and most of them are used as auxiliary medicinal materials when refining medicinal pills. It can be seen that the monks who collect these medicinal materials have done a lot of research on this.
Naturally, Yang Junshan would not be polite to this. If the monks in the camp were only proficient in herbal medicine, then Yang Junshan himself was an alchemist in his previous life. Although he was not as talented as an alchemist, he remembered it in his mind. The more than ten elixir prescriptions are naturally more familiar with the selection of these medicinal materials, and the herbs selected from these dried medicinal materials are also of higher value.
