Chapter 218: Road to Survival

Under the leadership of Huang Jue, the locust swarm used the existing farmland outside the Crystal City to sow the remaining seeds in the hope of a good harvest. After waiting and watering, something did grow in the farmland.

But the harvest was basically weeds, which spread over most of the planting area and completely crushed the growth space of food species.

The bully locusts were so angry that they tore and bit the weeds in the field and ate them fiercely.

After repeated trial and error, they finally made the soil sprout.

The long wait made the locusts a little impatient. Before the harvest, they couldn't help but eat the wheat seedlings.

Huang Jue was so angry that he immediately expelled a large number of locusts who took the lead in stealing.

When they used a small amount of seeds to sow again, foreign bully locusts swarmed in. The lack of food made the locust swarm hunt each other. When they were extremely hungry, their own kind was the best food.

So far, there is no chance to farm peacefully.

Although Huang Jue can lead part of the swarm, hunger can restore the locusts to their purest ferocity.

[Gluttony] drives the bully locusts, they kill each other, the losers become food, the winners feast... Everywhere there are piles of insects tangled together, and the ground is full of broken limbs.

Huang Jue stood alone on the city wall, watching his kind controlled by appetite biting each other below.

Because of his belief in God Yao, he was protected by the totem.

The locusts that tried to cross the high wall would be burned by the flames spit out by the totem and turned into black charcoal in the red pain.

On the other side, the locust swarms in the city were born from eggs underground. They swallowed all the remaining wood, leather, grass and other edibles in the city. The whole city was in a mess while the locust swarms were eating, and more than half of the buildings collapsed or were turning into ruins.

The insects in the city wanted to go out, and the insects outside the city wanted to come in.

They all believed that there was a lot of food on the other side.

Seeing all this, Huang Jue felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

If there is no food, then other of the same kind are food, which is a matter of course for the locust swarms.

But seeing the scene of cannibalism, Huang Jue still felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, everyone was just a poor puppet controlled by appetite.

Is there any way to reverse this fate?

Huang Jue fell into a long meditation.

It prayed to the gods, hoping that the gods who created it could give guidance.

Time passed.

The internal killing inside and outside the city did not weaken because of the decrease in numbers. On the contrary, because the survivors were all strong, the hunting game inside the swarm became more intense and cruel.

Tens of thousands of bully locusts were eaten and digested... The outstanding ones who stayed took the initiative to attack potential threats to avoid being attacked.

The fighting and hunting continued for another reason.

Huang Jue woke up from a long meditation.

It finally thought of a way.

When it looked down at the city, it only saw dozens of strong bully locusts fighting in a ball.

"Don't fight anymore!"

"You are not hungry."

Huang Jue flew down, and its powerful level and strength shocked the surroundings.

The locusts gradually regained their sanity and separated from each other.

Locust Jue continued: "We need to leave here and find other believers of the gods to go to the new world."

"Our tribe was born too short a time ago. There are too many things that we cannot understand. We cannot understand how to cultivate and plant. We only know how to eat and hunt. We need to learn and change, integrate and communicate."

"Those who are willing, follow me. Those who are unwilling, I will not force you."

A few Tyrant Locusts chose to follow Locust Jue.

Locust Jue took 12 strong Tyrant Locusts and flew all the way to their hometown. Crossing the desolate and cold mountains and hills, avoiding the batches of locusts along the way, they arrived at the far end of the Kingdom of Wuji.

In the sky, a black dragon hovered in the air, making all creatures tremble.

On the ground, many black water striders were patrolling.

For the Tyrant Locusts, these high-ranking God-favored creatures are difficult to resist. They opened their mouths and spit out tongue thorns, which could easily pierce and lock locusts one by one, and then swallow them into their stomachs.

Any bully locusts that tried to approach were eaten by the black water striders.

This is the restricted area of ​​the locust swarm.

As the leader, Huang Jue bravely stepped forward and said with gestures: "We are the believers of Lord Yao, can you please let us pass?"

No one responded.

The black water striders still patrolled mechanically on the ground.

Huang Jue let the bully locusts rest in place to show their piety and friendliness.

Time passed day by day.

Hunger began to torture the locusts.

Huang Jue kept encouraging everyone: "Brothers, we must control our desire for gluttony."

"Otherwise, the stronger we are, the more we are keen on hunting each other, and the more we cannot jump out of this vicious circle until the extinction of the entire population."

"We must do this."

"This will prove that we have the ability to change the status quo of the bully locust clan!"

"We have unparalleled endurance, we can do it! We can fight against the past and instincts!"

"If you really can't stand it, sleep, brothers."

"You won't feel hungry if you sleep, I will always stay by your side until hope comes."

The bully locusts were extremely irritable and stared at each other.

In the end, seven locusts left, and the remaining five tried to restrain their instincts and the urge to kill. They closed their eyes, curled up, fell into sleep one after another, and chose to try.

Locust Jue buries each of its kind underground and stands beside them to ensure their safety.

Although it was of a higher level, it was becoming weaker and weaker from hunger, and its vision gradually became blurred and its mind was muddled.

Locust Jue is still insisting.

On the walls of Crystal City, his long-lasting thoughts made him realize.

If God Yao felt that the bully locust race was redundant, then with his omnipotent power, he would surely be able to easily wipe out this race.

Although the gods restricted the range of locust swarms, they did not impose a death sentence on this group.

This may be a test given by the gods to the bully Locust clan.

If you can break free from the barbarism of ignorance, learn to control your beast-like instincts, and ignite the fire of faith, you will have a glimmer of a chance to receive guidance.

If not, they will sink in this hunting hell until they become beasts that only know how to eat. Together with this destroyed land, it eventually turned into the remains of the past.

Locust Jue relies on the induction of faith to reach the border of the old world. It can clearly feel that behind the defense line formed by the black water strider, the new world over there is filled with the warm fire of faith.

Even the black dragon with a terrifying aura in the sky has the aura of Lord Yao.

Of course, all of this may just be my own imagination, a lie conceived in order to find hope that does not exist.

The Lord God may not care at all, and even He no longer pays attention to this barren world.

But Locust felt no regrets or hesitation.

It's like it never thought it was wrong for the locusts to try to grow food. Just because the timing was wrong, the entire chaotic old world did not give them the time and environment to plant.

There is no change without bold attempts, and hope will not appear out of thin air on its own.

The opportunity to enter a new world lies at the edge of this forbidden area.

Just when it was unconscious, a huge force was suddenly poured into its body, and its weak body suddenly became full of strength.

It became immediately apparent.

It's a god!

Locust Jue lay on the ground excitedly: "Great Creator, Omnipotent God, your humble servants and believers, with piety and awe, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you..."

…

In front of the computer screen, Lu Yao clicked on Hao Jue's personal panel.

Its title became prophet, and it also had its own history, one of which attracted Lu Yao's attention.

…

When he was 1 year old, he realized [wisdom] by devouring the corpse of Apostle Soter.

…

No wonder.

When Salina killed Emperor Sot, Locust Jue happened to be present. It was only after it ate the apostle's corpse that this series of changes occurred.

The courage and perseverance shown by Locust Jue made Lu Yao temporarily give up deleting this race and give it a chance, and also gave the entire bully Locust a chance.

Lu Yao has been paying attention to this locust leader.

Reason told him that this was a waste of time.

The two abilities of [Gluttony] and [Rapid Reproduction] will only turn the bully locust into an ecological destroyer and a public enemy hated by most humans and extraordinary beings.

But emotionally, he hoped that Locust Jue could find another answer.

At the same time, this is also a test of the inclusiveness and integration of the Yao world, to see whether the current Yao civilization can absorb and transform a species with extremely destructive power.

Unlike the Black Water Strider, the Bully Locust already has a wise initiate like Locust Jue. Once they start thinking for themselves, it is difficult to accurately predict their subsequent evolution.

Lu Yao continued to observe.

Thanks to: The crying madman supports 1,500 starting coins, and the one who convinces people with great virtue supports 100 starting coins.
