Under the gaze of everyone, Feng Yun also felt a lot of pressure, but the impact on him was not great, at least it did not prevent him from expressing normally: "The locusts have not mutated, but their mobility is a little too small. It affects the spread of fungi."
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh, showing strong regret and unwillingness.
This problem was something he and Mu Qiuxia did not think of when they decided to use fungus spore powder to deal with locusts.
When they first discovered that the fungus had a corrosive effect on locusts, they were all very happy. They even had a very optimistic attitude for a time, thinking that even if their number was very large, they could still be wiped out.
Especially after they selected and bred spore powders to further enhance their destructive power, they became even more confident.
But when they actually spread the spore powder among the locust swarms, reality gave them a blow.
The mobility of locusts is far less than they imagined, and even most locusts will have a relatively small range of activities if they are not disturbed by the outside world.
This is what they don't want to see, because then the power of the spore powder they have worked so hard to cultivate will be greatly reduced.
In their imagination, the original way in which fungal spore powder exerts its power requires locusts to have relatively strong mobility, so as to ensure their chance of being infected.
If they rely solely on the fungus spore powder they have bred to infect the locusts, it will be impossible to do so even if they are squeezed dry. After all, there are so many locusts.
Even if they take a step back and say that they can cultivate fungal spore powder that can infect all locusts, it will take a long, long time.
For such a long time, I am afraid that the entire Golden Dragon tribe has starved to death.
Then their efforts will be meaningless.
"It's really a big problem that the fungus can't spread."
After Feng Feng heard so much about Feng Yun, his face immediately turned ugly.
Although Wu didn't speak, it was easy to see from his frown that he also found this problem very difficult.
He and Feng Feng already had a considerable understanding of fungi from Feng Yun and Mu Qiuxia, and they had a relatively clear understanding of the mechanisms and conditions for destroying locusts.
If the fungus cannot spread and spread, it will definitely have a great impact on the eradication of locusts. It can even be said conversely that if the fungus cannot spread and spread, it will be impossible to achieve all the effects of the locusts on the Golden Dragon tribe. willing.
Since all four people were aware of the problem, they simply stopped looking for somewhere and started discussing it directly on the spot.
But after much discussion, they were unable to come up with an answer that satisfied everyone.
According to their conclusion, the main problem lies in the lack of cooperation of the locusts. They simply will not listen to them, and it is impossible for them to make changes according to their wishes.
What makes them even more angry is that they really have no good way to deal with them.
Of course, they are not completely helpless. At least they can disperse them and speed up their flow, thereby increasing the speed of the spread of fungi.
It's like stirring a pool of stagnant water to make it flow.
It seems feasible and highly operable.
It may sound simple, but actually doing it is another matter.
Don't say anything else, just say that the number of locusts is too much.
Even if everyone works together to increase their fluidity, it is difficult to achieve it. This is like a big lake. No matter how hard the people who try to stir the water try, it is impossible to make the entire lake flow.
Besides, letting the locust swarms move is much more dangerous than stirring up the lake water.
They are quite dangerous.
Not to mention ordinary totem warriors, even powerful men like Storm who have advanced to the True Spirit level will be in danger of their lives once they get too deep into the locust swarm and fall into it.
In the end, Feng Yun, Mu Qiuxia, Wu and Feng Feng all rejected the idea of relying on manpower to increase the mobility of the locust swarm.
Originally Feng Yun suggested that he try it himself.
His reasons are also very good. He has already attacked the locust swarms and caused a lot of casualties to them. Not only was he intact, he even made them fear him. Before he could Get close to them and they will actively avoid you.
In this case, it should be quite safe for him to drive away the locust swarms.
Fengyun felt that he could give it a try, but he was firmly opposed by a group of people headed by Wu.
Their reasons are also very good. The locusts here are afraid of him, but it does not mean that the locusts in other places will also be afraid of him.
He is still at risk of being attacked.
More importantly, there are too many locusts. Even if Fengyun can ensure his own safety, it will be difficult to achieve his goal by relying on his own strength.
In addition, they all repeatedly emphasized that it was not a good time for him to leave at this time, because through their observation of the locust swarm, they discovered a situation that made them uneasy.
During this period of time, the locust swarms did not come close to the defense lines built by people. It was not because they were afraid of them, or even entirely because of the sword intent left by Fengyun.
They suspected that they were gathering strength and preparing to launch a more violent attack.
Feng Yun did not choose to refute Feng Yun and Wu's conclusions, but chose to trust them.
As for the reason, it is not complicated. First of all, he believes in their character and is unlikely to lie or joke about this kind of thing.
Secondly, they are older, have lived a long time, and are well-informed. They have survived and grown up in a harsh environment, and have a far keener insight into dangers and signs of danger than ordinary people.
They felt that the locust swarm was preparing for a violent attack, and the probability was relatively high.
In fact, Fengyun himself also discovered that the current locusts were indeed behaving a little abnormally.
Maybe they were afraid of the sword intent he left behind. After so many days, the remaining sword intent had long since dissipated, and not even a trace existed anymore.
At this time, it makes no sense to say that they are afraid of the sword and do not dare to attack the defense lines built by people.
Locust swarms are terrifying, and everyone has seen them before.
Once they really attack the defense line and Fengyun is not around, they may not be as lucky as last time and be able to hold on to the defense line.
Once the defense line is breached, the purification zone will no longer exist, which means that everyone's previous efforts have been in vain.
This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that without the purification zone as a buffer, the locusts can approach New Dragon City and pose a real threat to it.
After some persuasion from everyone, Feng Yun had no choice but to give up his plan and agreed to stay for the time being.
However, this discussion was not completely fruitless.
The four of them reached a consensus, that is, the original world cannot be abandoned, nor can it just be used as a place of refuge. It must be put to good use.
Maybe the environment of the original world cannot be compared with the world we are in now, but if we use it well, we can still make good profits.
For example, growing food.
What everyone is most worried about now is the lack of food.
With food, even if the quality is not that high, it will play a very big role in the survival of the entire Golden Dragon tribe.
All four people tend to grow food in the original world.
Compared with before, although the environment in the original world has deteriorated, at least the danger has greatly increased, but don't forget that the Golden Dragon Tribe is no longer what it used to be.
It is now many times more powerful than when it first moved to this world.
It is not that difficult to send some people back to their original world, let alone survive, or ensure that the crops they planted are not destroyed.
After the vote of four people, the matter of growing food in the original world was confirmed.
They also discussed the issue of candidates.
In the end, they decided to select one person from among the true spirit level experts to be solely responsible for growing food in the original world.
They all believed that with a strong man at the True Spirit level guarding the area, there shouldn't be any big problems.
They were not in a hurry to send people back to their original world. In addition to the fact that it was still some time before the planting season and there was no need to rush, there was another very important reason, which was to prevent the locust army from counterattacking.
A strong man at the True Spirit level is a help that cannot be underestimated. At a critical moment, he can completely turn the situation around.
In the following time, the entire Golden Dragon tribe entered a state of high alert, but adopted a strategy of internal strength and external relaxation.
Even if you look carefully, it's hard to see how people have changed from before.
This is mainly to prevent the locust army. To be more specific, firstly, it is to prevent them from discovering that people have made preparations, and secondly, it is to prevent them from coming up with any new moths.
It is no exaggeration to say that the locust army is the most severe test that the Golden Dragon Tribe has encountered since its establishment. Once they adopt other methods, even if there are storms, it is difficult to guarantee that danger will not arise.
Time began to pass while waiting.
The attack of the locust army has not yet come.
At first, Feng Yun and others were happy to see the results at this time, because the more time was delayed, the worse it would be for the locust army, because Feng Yun had spread a considerable amount of fungal spore powder among them.
The longer time passes, the greater the risk of infection, and fungi can do such great damage to them that almost no one survives.
But as time passed and the locust army never made any move, the situation began to become impatient.
It's not a thing to drag it out like this.
He had many other things to do, and it was a pity that time was wasted like this.
After another day passed, Fengyun went to find Wu and told him that he wanted to go back to Xinlong City.
Wu agreed almost without thinking.
In his opinion, Xinlong City was not too far away from the defense line, and with Fengyun's speed, he could get there in a short time.
In other words, even if the locust army launched an attack while he was returning to the city, he would still be able to come over in time.
He admitted that the locust army should not be underestimated, but he also did not think that after they launched their attack, the defense line he led everyone to build would not be able to hold on until Feng Yun came over.
Fengyun was also very straightforward. After getting Wu's permission, he went back to Xinlong City without any delay.
This time, he did not fly in the sky or walk on the ground, but sneaked underground. Through the Five Elements Magic Art, he converted the power of the totem into the earth attribute, then released it, wrapped it around the whole body, and sank into the ground, so that he could stay underground. Moved.
Given his level, the speed of moving down is not slow.
The most important thing is to avoid the eyes of the locust army and prevent them from noticing that he has left and immediately launch an attack on the defense line built by everyone.
Fengyun's return to the city went smoothly. He was not noticed by the locust army and did not encounter any accidents.
After returning to the city, he went directly to Mu Qiuxia.
Since she had many good ideas for improving fungi, the group headed by Feng Yun unanimously decided to let her return to the city first and focus on the breeding and strengthening of fungi, leaving the outside world alone for the time being.
When Feng Yun met her, she was conducting an experiment to increase the size of the fungus strain.
According to her, the larger size of the fungus not only allows for more spore powder to be harvested, but also increases the efficiency of infecting locust hordes.
Think about it, after the locust is infected, it dies, and its body becomes food for the fungus to grow, and eventually grows into a complete individual.
If the strain is large enough, like a tree, then each strain will grow into a huge source of infection, greatly increasing the speed at which the locust army is infected.
Feng Yun supported Mu Qiuxia's approach with both hands.
But when he saw the strain she had bred, he still felt a little shocked. He was not surprised that her progress was too slow, but that her progress was too fast.
She has created individuals that are far larger than the original fungi.
Several mushrooms that were as tall as half a person were quietly sitting in a very inner corner, but they suddenly attracted Feng Yun's attention.
He couldn't help but get closer to them and observe them carefully.
Soon, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
With the help of his outstanding eyesight, he discovered in a short period of time that although the mushrooms selected by Mu Qiuxia looked similar to ordinary mushrooms on the outside, they were actually not the same thing at all.
The mushrooms he had seen in the past, no matter how big or small, had one thing in common: they were all soft. But the mushroom selected by Mu Qiuxia this time was not like this. Its texture was quite hard. He tapped it with his fingers, and it immediately made a sound, which was very similar to the sound of tapping wood, and it was hardwood.
