Chapter 67 Goose Rider Warrior (1/2)

After Ergouzi advanced in cultivation, he spent most of his time on Shekou Mountain, practicing, farming, and feeding geese.

The locust extermination team has two large geese of spiritual beast level to help them. They don't need Ergouzi to take action, and they have wiped out the insect swarms in several surrounding towns.

Currently, we are still sweeping out the insect swarms with Sanchazi Town as the center.

On this day, Er Gouzi was sitting on a persimmon tree.

The persimmons on the tree are so ripe that you only need to tear off a little skin and suck them into your mouth, and the sweet and rich juice will flow into your mouth.

I sat on a tree and picked out the ripest ones to eat. I ate about a dozen of them, until my hands and mouth were all yellow. People who didn't know it thought they had eaten poop.

At this time, a big white goose flew from a distance and landed directly next to him.

The big white goose was assigned to the locust extermination team by him and usually would not come back voluntarily if nothing happened.

The big white goose walked up to him, stretched its neck and showed off its power for a while, then spit out a bamboo tube from its mouth.

Ergouzi stretched out his hand and wiped the goose's white feathers, rubbing all the thick persimmon juice on the goose's feathers.

He wiped the yellow juice from his mouth again, and it also rubbed onto the goose feathers.

After wiping his hands clean, he took the bamboo tube and took out a piece of paper to read carefully.

"A two-foot-long giant insect king was found!"

Judging from the handwriting, it looks like it was written by a police officer.

There are not many insect kings in the locust swarm who can become monsters.

He killed one in total and bought one at auction.

The corpses of the two locust demons created four giant geese at the level of spiritual beasts.

Moreover, these two are only over a foot long, and I have never encountered one that is two feet long.

Later, he kept looking for traces of this locust demon, but never found it again.

Immediately, he rode on the big white goose and left Shekou Mountain. He met the locust extermination team outside a village.

Ergouzi glanced at the peaceful village. It seemed that the locust extermination team had not entered the village to plunder.

"Captain Zhang, the insect swarm is currently five miles away and is moving towards us."

The detective and others took Ergouzi to climb a hill to observe.

This was a particularly large swarm, larger than any they had seen before.

Wherever the insects pass, even the trees will be knocked down and devoured.

There were countless mutated locusts several inches long inside, at least several hundred.

They only saw the Insect King from a distance. This Insect King was two feet long and the aura it exuded was even more powerful.

Not easy to deal with.

After this period of development, his locust extermination team has gathered more than 2,000 people.

But warriors still only have two scholars and one catcher, and the mortality rate when facing that kind of mutated locusts is very high.

It's possible that all two thousand people died here.

Just when Ergouzi was thinking about how to deal with it, the locust swarm took off again.

"This swarm of locusts must have flown from a very far away place and has been flying in our direction."

After being reminded like this, Ergouzi realized that these locusts were probably coming for the medicinal materials from Shekou Mountain.

Rather than letting his more than two thousand men die, it would be better to let his geese deal with it.

"You don't need to worry about it. Let the swarm continue to fly forward. I will find a way to deal with it."

Ergouzi asked the locust extermination team to continue to sweep away locusts in other places. He took away two big white geese and followed the locust swarm.

Every time a locust swarm takes off, it can only fly a hundred or so feet. It has to stop and rest for a while before taking off again.

The overall movement speed of the insect swarm is not very fast.

Ergouzi followed for a while and was able to determine that the direction was towards Shekou Mountain.

In this case, he simply rode the big white goose and flew back to Shekou Mountain.

First, each goose on the mountain was fed a Peiyuan Guben Pill.

Then he rode on a spiritual animal goose and took the lead in flying out of Shekou Mountain with all the geese on the mountain.

Such a spectacular scene stunned the villagers around Shekou Mountain.

This was the first time in their lives that they saw someone flying into the sky with such a large group of geese.

So many years later, every household in Shexi Village raised geese, which became a famous local dish.

Many children in the village have dreamed of riding their own goose and flying into the sky one day.

The geese collided head-on with the locust swarm on a high mountain a few miles outside Snake Creek Village.

Ergouzi knew his own weight, so in order to stay out of the way, he jumped off the goose's back in advance and sat on a big rock to watch the battle.

The four spiritual beasts, the geese, took the lead and were invincible among the insects.

Locust stumps fell in the sky like rain.

At the same time, feathers were constantly falling down from the sky along with blood.

The mutated locusts in the swarm are also very strong, fast, and have sharp serrations on their legs.

A dozen large locusts measuring five to six inches or six to seven inches can besiege a large goose.

Not long after the war started, a big goose was seriously injured and fell from the sky.

Further in the air, he also saw a large insect king more than two feet long, squeaking and commanding the insect swarm.

Ergouzi picked up the seriously injured goose, walked to a big rock, and waved the long sword in his hand.

Those locusts that came close to him were chopped into two pieces, and none of them could get within three feet of him.

A seven-inch-long mutated locust drew an arc in the air, shooting at Ergouzi at the speed of an arrow.

However, he only slightly adjusted the angle of the sword blade.

The insect king bumped into the blade of the sword and split its body into two.

He has mobilized the divine consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness, covering an area of ​​two feet around him.

With his current cultivation, the maximum limit of his spiritual awareness can cover the surrounding area of ​​30 to 40 meters, but it is very easy to get tired and can't last long.

After all the locusts entered his spiritual awareness range, their flight trajectory was clearly seen, and their speed seemed to slow down.

Just a random sword can kill them.

At this moment, three geese fell from the sky with blood spurting from their necks.

These times, it was the big insect king who took action. With its burst of speed and sharp hind legs, it was a one-shot kill against the big geese.

Er Gouzi also wanted to hunt the big insect king, but the insect king was also cunning and kept a distance. He never fought hard with him and killed a goose when he got the chance.

It's a pity that he can't fly...

As soon as he sighed like this, he had already called a nearby big goose over, mounted the goose's back and flew into the sky.

In order not to alert the big insect king, Er Gouzi rode the goose in circles in the air and killed many insignificant locusts.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

The distance between the two sides increased from more than ten feet to more than ten feet, and then to seven or eight feet.

Five feet.

Four feet.

Only four feet left, as long as he got close to three feet away, he should be able to use his sword energy and win.

But at this moment, the locust seemed to have noticed something and was about to fly away with a flap of its wings.

In a hurry, Er Gouzi could only use a sword energy, but the locust moved slightly to the left and right and dodged it.

After alarming the snake, the distance between the two sides was widening again, and soon it was five feet away.

The goose chased, and the big insect king fled...

If it was a competition of straight-line flight speed, the goose was faster, after all, it had the advantage of a large body.

But in short-distance dodging and moving, the locust had the advantage.

So both had their own advantages and disadvantages. The goose could not catch up, and the locust could not get rid of it, and the distance was far and near.

Finally, the distance between the two reached within five feet again.

Seeing that the locust king was about to dodge sideways, the goose could only turn a corner and chase back, and then the distance between the two would be widened again.

Er Gouzi rode on the goose's back and had not used his sword. It was too chaotic here. If he could not kill the locust, he would easily hurt other geese by mistake.

He mobilized all his spiritual sense, but it was still a few feet away.

Seeing that the distance was about to be widened again, it was unknown when he would catch up so close next time.

Immediately, he used the wind control technique, jumped off the goose's back, and chased the insect king in the air.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the distance between the two finally approached 25 feet, entering the range of Er Gouzi's spiritual sense.

A dazzling sword light flew out from the tip of the sword, and the light flashed by, and the body of the insect king was split into two halves.

But after he killed the locust king in the air, his body fell rapidly downwards.

If he fell like this, he would definitely die.

The battle between the big white goose and the locust swarm had long attracted the surrounding villagers to watch.

Among them, Zhang Youliang and his brother were naturally included.

"Huh!"

The two looked up at the sky. They were shocked by the sword light that Er Gou had just used to kill the insect king.

Even if they had nine lives, they could not stop Er Gou's sword.

There was shock and fear, but at this moment, their eyes were full of hope.

"It would be best if he fell from the sky and died!"

The two saw that Er Gou had nowhere to gain leverage after killing the locust king in the air, and his body fell rapidly.

The wind control technique could not allow the Qi training monks to fly, and they needed to use leverage to jump up to fly briefly.

At this time, there was a pile of rocks under Er Gou. If he fell vertically like this, he would probably fall into a pool of mud.

As long as Er Gou died today, they would guarantee to occupy Shekou Mountain tonight.

However, eight out of ten people are not satisfied with their lives.

Er Gouzi did not do as the Zhang brothers wished. He whistled in the air, and a white goose leaned down and flew down, just catching the falling figure, steady and stable.

The Zhang brothers sighed in disappointment.

If there were no special opportunities, they might not be able to catch up with Er Gouzi in this life.

After the insect swarm lost the command of the insect king, it was in chaos. It was killed by the big geese, and some died and some fled, and it could no longer pose a threat.

Er Gouzi called Qiuyue to bring people to clean up the battlefield.

In this battle, all his 48 big geese were dispatched, 5 died, and most of the others were injured.

But they harvested the corpse of a two-foot-long locust monster.

More than 400 mutant locust corpses were also picked up.

The corpses of ordinary locusts weighed as much as five or six stones.

Er Gouzi only collected the corpses of locust monsters and mutant locusts, and let Qiuyue take the rest as rations.

Just when Er Gouzi was fighting the locust swarm, the county government actually sent people to find his locust extermination team.

"Where is Zhang Ergou?"

When the county envoy arrived, he had a long cold face.

He was also indifferent to the enthusiasm of Zhao Xiucai and others to make friends, revealing an expression that kept people at a distance.

"Captain Zhang went to track a large-scale insect swarm and has not returned yet."

"I think he left his post without permission. The county magistrate will punish him if he investigates."

The constable was more sensible and sent a few corpses of mutant insect kings. The county envoy showed a little better face.

At the same time, he asked someone to go to Shexi Village to find Ergouzi.

Ergouzi rode a big goose and soon came to the temporary village.

"Zhang Xiucai, you are free and easy, but do you know that the whole Qingzhou Prefecture is ravaged by locust plagues, thieves are rampant, people are living in misery, and bones are exposed in the wild!

And your locust-killing team is hesitating here. "

In front of thousands of his men, the envoy sent by the county government spoke eloquently and put a big hat on Er Gouzi as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Zhang Xiucai, do you know your crime?"

The county government envoy was arrogant.

The locust-killing team members were all villagers. They were most afraid of the people in the government office. After being intimidated by him, they lowered their heads in fear of being punished by the government.

But they felt wronged.

During this period, they worked day and night to wipe out the locust swarms in several nearby towns.

After fighting for so many days in a row, everyone was injured, and some people's relatives even died.

I didn't expect that they would be punished by the county government now.

Er Gouzi used the Qi-seeing Technique to take a look. This clerk was only a warrior, but he dared to speak nonsense in front of him.

"First of all, all the disasters suffered by Qingzhou Prefecture were not caused by me, a mere martial arts scholar.

Secondly, if you are not in the position, you should not meddle in the affairs of others. Such important matters are decided by the prefects, county governors, county magistrates and other adults. How can I, a mere military scholar, interfere? "

"Besides, we only have three or four buckets of food a day, and we fight day and night to suppress the locust plague in the five surrounding towns. Why should we hesitate?"

Er Gouzi finally fought back with a burst of anger in his chest.

This tone was not only for himself, but also for more than 2,000 people under his command.

Perhaps this is the confidence brought to him after his cultivation level has been improved.

And he has read a lot of books during this period, so that he can refute with reason and evidence.

A few years ago, when he met people from the government office, he could only be submissive and didn't even dare to breathe, let alone refute.

"You!"

"Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you have the title of a scholar! "

The county envoy was originally just using the usual tactics, bringing up the prestige of the county yamen, first knocking on the door, and then taking the opportunity to get some benefits.

But now he met someone who didn't know how to be polite, and was speechless.

The envoy was so angry that his fingers trembled, and he took out a document from the county yamen and threw it hard on the table.

"The county magistrate has ordered you to lead the locust-killing team immediately to Chengxi Town to assist in locust-killing."

Er Gouzi picked up the official document on the table. It was indeed issued by the county yamen, and there was a red official seal on it.

Chengxi Town is in the western suburbs of the county. I heard from Sima Yi that there is a large piece of spiritual field there, and some medicinal herbs such as ginseng are planted there.

It seems that the locust swarm has set its sights on the medicinal herbs there.

After receiving the order from the county yamen, he could only lead the team to Chengxi Town.

Along the way, the envoy kept urging the team to speed up, but the team was still not in a hurry.

There was no other way. The cattle and horses had to be fed with two mouthfuls of fodder. The two thousand people had four buckets of rations a day. After being deducted by the yamen runners, , can only get about three dou.

On average, each person can get one or two mouthfuls of rice per day, which is not enough for walking.

They can only sweep locusts for food while walking.

The road that could have been completed in one day took them two days to walk.

Moreover, many refugees now gather together to become bandits, plundering villages, and robbing people on the road, so they have to be on guard.

When they arrived at Chengxi Town, they found that the sky here was covered with a layer of dark clouds formed by locusts.
