"So many locusts hatched?"
Wu stood on the big dragon, looking at the locusts jumping around on the ground below, his eyes couldn't help but be a little bit pointed.
Although he had learned some information from Feng Yun, after all, hearing was better than seeing. When he actually saw the locusts emerging from the ground after hatching, he was still greatly shocked.
Especially when he saw these small locusts munching on the newly grown vegetation, and the greenery disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, he couldn't help but think of what it would be like if these locusts entered the territory of the Golden Dragon Tribe, poisoning crops and demanding medicinal materials.
"Now is not the most abundant time. According to my analysis, there should be a considerable number of locust eggs that have not hatched. When they all hatch, the number may even be more than ten times greater than now."
Fengyun gives a harsher reality.
He didn't mean to attack the witch, but he thought he had to make him recognize the reality and understand the seriousness of the situation.
Only in this way will he pay enough attention and go all out to avoid disaster.
He has a very close relationship with Wu, and he will not hide many things from him, so he also knows the material reserves of the Golden Dragon Tribe.
So far, although it is still relatively abundant, we cannot take it lightly. It is best to ensure a better harvest of the food planted this season.
If this season's food harvest fails due to a locust plague, although the Golden Dragon tribe will not starve to death, the situation will become very bad, at least the room left for it will become much smaller.
If the next season's food harvest is no longer good, we may really have no food to cook.
You must know that there are more than one million people in the Golden Dragon Tribe. It is unimaginable how serious the consequences will be if there is no food.
"Yun, send me back immediately. I will organize people to destroy these locusts. These locusts are still very small, so they should be easy to eliminate. At the same time, these locusts can also be collected and used as food."
Fengyun's words had an effect. As soon as he finished speaking, Wu urged him to return the gift to Xinlong City.
"OK."
Feng Yun responded, then controlled the dragon transformed by the power of his totem, rushed directly into the sky, then turned around and flew away in the direction of New Dragon City.
Dalong was very fast, and within a short time, he reached the top of New Dragon City.
People just glanced at it and then looked away, doing whatever they were supposed to do.
Fengyun has shown his big dragon in front of people more than once, and people have long been accustomed to it.
In addition, his status in people's minds is very high, and they will not deliberately inquire about what he does.
Dalong carried Fengyun and Wu to the ground. Wu didn't waste a moment and immediately went to the bell tower to sound the alarm himself.
Dangdang...
As soon as the powerful bell rang, people immediately showed nervous expressions, because they all knew that the alarm bell would not sound unless something big happened.
In other words, every time the alarm bell is sounded, it means something bad is going to happen.
They had just encountered an insect wave not long ago, forcing them to escape back to their original world, so people were least willing to see bad things happen.
But they also know that they must face things as soon as they happen, and escaping is absolutely impossible.
They quickly came to their senses, and then rushed towards the square in the center of the city in unison.
According to the procedure, after the alarm bell rings, the witch will tell everyone in the square what happened.
Although there is no rule that everyone must feel free to go to the square after hearing the bell, it is better to go because the witch will tell everyone the situation and give them instructions to do things.
It's fine if you don't go to the square when you hear the bell, but if you don't complete the task given by the witch, you will be punished.
Soon after the bell rang,
Everyone in the entire Golden Dragon tribe who could move gathered in the square, and some women even brought some very small children.
After people arrived at the square, they immediately looked towards the high platform in the middle of the square, where the witch general was speaking.
They found that Wu was already standing on the high platform. Not only him, but also Feng Yun, all the strong men in the entire tribe who had been promoted to true spirits were present.
Seeing this scene, people became even more uneasy.
The more powerful people at the true spirit level arrive, the more serious the situation is.
Wu didn't speak, just glanced at the crowd, and the crowd immediately became quiet.
After waiting for a while, it seemed that everyone's attention was focused on him, and then he said loudly: "I have called everyone here today because I have some bad news to tell you."
He didn't mean to whet everyone's appetite, and quickly continued: "The trouble left by the insect tide is not over yet. Just now, Yun and I went to take a look outside the purification area and found that there were many locusts hatching. , and has the tendency to invade the purified area."
"If we leave it alone, the food we planted will most likely fail, and I will be hungry next."
When Wu said this, he had to stop, because the crowd in the audience made a commotion and made a very loud noise, which had covered his voice.
Fengyun was right next to Wu. His eyesight was very good and he could easily see expressions of uneasiness, worry and even fear on people's faces.
He knew why they had such expressions. They were worried about having nothing to eat.
Many of them still have very deep memories of hunger.
It didn't take long for them to be full. To be precise, before joining the Golden Dragon Tribe under the leadership of Fengyun, many of them were hungry. It was not uncommon for people to starve to death.
Now Wu's words obviously brought back their memories.
The memory left by hunger will be very profound, even unforgettable. No matter how long time passes, as soon as it is mentioned, it will immediately become vivid again.
Fengyun thinks people's performance is good.
When the witch asks them to eliminate the locusts, they will spare no effort and go all out.
In fact, eradicating locusts is not an easy task. Even if they have just hatched, they are still relatively fragile and it is not difficult to kill them. However, there are too many of them.
Not to mention that there are still many locust eggs that have not hatched, but the number of locust eggs that have hatched is already quite large.
"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet."
Wu asked people to vent their emotions, then raised his hands and made a downward movement, and people quickly became quiet.
"Time waits for no one. We must take action immediately to eliminate the locusts outside the purification area. I will divide the people into four groups, responsible for the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. The east will be responsible for the storm, and the south will be responsible for Gonglu Hammer Responsible, west side..."
The witch quickly began to mobilize his troops, and the powerful men of the true spirit level who were asked to be responsible for all directions also quickly left to gather the prescribed number of manpower to carry out locust extermination operations in the areas they were responsible for.
Soon, no one was seen in the square.
Of course, this is also wrong. There are still people on the high platform, two people, Feng Yun and Wu.
Fengyun looked at Wu and asked, "Wu, what do I want to do?"
"Do what you came to do."
"You still want me to find the source of the insect tide? It's not appropriate now. At least until the locust extermination operation comes to an end."
"I know that you are more capable than anyone in the tribe. With you, the locust extermination operation will progress faster, but what you have to do is more important. I have a feeling that the origin of the insect tide is not simple. .”
Wu Jianfengyun didn't seem to be convinced yet, so he had to continue: "You don't have to worry too much. Although there are many locusts, they have just hatched after all, and they are easy to eliminate. You have to have confidence in everyone."
At the end, he seemed to suddenly remember something and added: "Oh, by the way. There is one thing I forgot to tell you. Qiuxia has invented a medicine specifically to deal with locusts. It has been tested and the effect is still good. Not bad. If we continue to improve it, I believe it will be of great help in eradicating locusts."
"Witch, is it true? Qiuxia Wu has really invented the locust-killing medicine?"
Feng Yun showed a surprised expression.
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you about such a thing. If you don't believe it, you can go and see it for yourself."
"I'll go find Qiuxia Witch right away."
Fengyun and Wu called and hurried to find Mu Qiuxia.
He knows very well that compared with manual control of locusts, there are undoubtedly advantages in killing locusts with drugs.
From the bottom of his heart, he naturally hoped that Mu Qiuxia had really invented the locust-killing medicine, but he could not rest assured until he saw it in person.
How effective is the locust-killing medicine, what kind of raw materials are needed, and how difficult is the preparation... these are very critical.
Only locust-killing drugs that are effective, have simple raw materials, and are easy to prepare are meaningful. After all, there are too many locusts to be eliminated this time, and a very large quantity is needed to be effective.
Fengyun quickly found Mu Qiuxia.
He saw her, and before he could ask her about the locust-killing medicine, she gave him a task: "Yun, help me hatch all these locust eggs. I need them."
As she spoke, she led him to a huge transparent container that was half the size of a house.
It is a product of weapon refining. It looks very similar to glass and has very high transparency, but it is much stronger than glass.
Not to mention an ordinary person, even a totem warrior, as long as the level is not very high, even if you give him a sledgehammer, he may not be able to break it.
Now there is a layer of soil in this container, and there are many locust eggs scattered on the soil, some large and some small.
While Feng Yun summoned the power of nature and fresh air, which was transported in through the small hole on the top of the container, he did not forget to ask Mu Qiuxia: "Wizard Qiuxia, why are you hatching these locust eggs?"
"I invented a medicine to deal with locusts and I want to try it out."
"Is this the locust-killing medicine Wu mentioned to me?"
Fengyun immediately became interested. He came to Mu Qiuxia this time for this reason, so he immediately asked: "Wizard Qiuxia, please tell me about the locust-killing medicine."
"I have been working on this locust-killing drug a long time ago. After I saw the insect tide, I realized the harm of the locusts that constitute it. Especially when I found that they left locust eggs behind after they left, I realized They will still pose a threat to the tribe in the future."
"There are so many of them that it is too difficult to kill locusts manually, so I began to think that it would be great if I could come up with a drug that can kill locusts. If I can succeed, it will become much easier to kill locusts." .”
Mu Qiuxia did not directly answer Fengyun's question, but first explained her motivation for inventing the locust-killing medicine, and then explained the locust-killing medicine in detail.
According to her, she spent a lot of effort and failed many times in developing locust-killing medicine.
But in the end, her efforts and dedication were in vain, and she successfully developed a locust-killing drug.
The most important thing is that the effect is quite good.
Hearing what Mu Qiuxia said, Fengyun wanted to see the effectiveness of the locust-killing medicine even more, so he immediately stepped up his summons to the power of nature and pure energy.
In the blink of an eye, a faint mist appeared inside the container. The density of the power of nature and the pure air had reached a certain level and became visible to the naked eye.
The development speed of those locust eggs began to increase rapidly under the nourishment of rich natural power and clear air.
Fengyun's eyesight is very good, and he can see through the egg shell that the locust larvae inside are forming and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It felt very much like the time-lapse photography works he had seen before traveling through time.
It's just that time-lapse photography is just a means of showing the changes in things, rather than actually changing anything, and Fengyun can indeed increase the hatching speed of locust eggs many times.
It took less than a quarter of an hour in total for the locusts to begin to break out of their shells, and after absorbing the power of nature and fresh air, they grew rapidly.
As they grow, the locusts become very agitated and want to get out of the container. They do not hesitate to hit the container, and many even injure themselves.
He knew why they behaved the way they did.
Ever since he discovered that the locusts that made up the insect tide laid eggs when they passed through Xinlong City, Fengyun became interested in them. During the process of removing the locust eggs, he took some time to study them.
He has a relatively good understanding of them and has achieved some successes. For example, he knows that newly hatched locusts are not poisonous like adult locusts and can be eaten.
This is why Wu mentioned that locust larvae were edible when he and Fengyun saw them outside the purification area not long ago.
The natural power and clear air he summoned can speed up the hatching of locust eggs and even make them grow, but they will also be in a hungry state, just like now.
If he doesn't provide them with food, they will die even if he continues to provide them with natural power and fresh air.
"Okay. Stop."
After a while, Mu Qiuxia asked Fengyun to stop providing natural power and fresh air to the locusts. Then she took a small porcelain bottle and sprinkled some light gray powder into it from the small hole above the container. .
