Chapter 204 South
After waiting for Zhu Hun for two or three days, the foundation-building monks from the four major families in Taicheng County finally gathered at Yanlai Peak.
The Zhu family in Liucheng only has one foundation-building monk, Zhu Hun. Ever since the Lingshi mine was mined, Zhu Hun has been almost always stationed in Chaoyin Mountain.
The Zhu family in Liucheng suffered heavy losses in the battle for the Lingshi Mine a few years ago. Although they were not destroyed like the Ma family in Jiufeng Mountain, they had almost given up on their base camp in Liucheng and moved their family to Chaoyin Mountain.
Without the family’s spiritual mountain, although the Zhu family still controls part of the Chaoyin Mountain spiritual stone mine shares and can receive hundreds of spiritual stones every year, these resources are still far from enough for the more than thirty monks in the family who are waiting for support.
Even now that they have moved to the foot of Chaoyin Mountain, the Zhu family is still cultivating the spiritual fields near Liucheng. Because of Zhu Hun’s intimidation, he can temporarily scare some casual cultivators and ensure the safety of the spiritual field.
This time, the Zhu family in Liucheng was the farthest away from the locust plague, and the elixirs in the elixir garden had long been snatched away by monks from the Hongshan Sect, and there were no valuable treasures on the mountain gate. Even if they could not stop the large swarm of locusts from attacking, their family’s The losses are also minimal.
Therefore, compared to the worried monks Zhang, Wu, and Liu, Zhu Hun behaved a little more calmly.
Wu Xiangjie saw that all the leaders of the family had arrived, and then he said: “A serious locust plague broke out in the Southern Wilderness. Although the most powerful fourth-level locusts have been killed by the Black Mountain Liang Patriarch, we still cannot underestimate this matter. We must advance it in advance.” Be prepared to handle it with caution.”
Liu Zixuan frowned and said: “The news came from Montenegro. We haven’t seen the locust plague with our own eyes. We don’t know the scale and ability of this locust plague yet. We should go deep into the southern wilderness to investigate. If the situation is not good, immediately Let Fellow Daoist Zhu go to Chaoyin Mountain to ask for help and ask a senior from Zifuqi to take charge of the situation.”
Wu Xiangji nodded and said: “It is rumored that this locust has crossed Heishan and entered the buffer zone between Taicheng County and Heishan. The monks on Heishan have suffered heavy losses now and are cleaning up the mess. It is estimated that there will be no manpower to support us. This is fine, There are seven of us now. Except for one person who stays at Yanlai Peak, the remaining six are divided into three groups and go to the Southern Wilderness to personally investigate the enemy situation. “
After the discussion was settled, Zhang Zhixuan and Liu Zixuan flew directly from Yanlai Peak and headed southeast towards the Southern Wilderness.
Zhang Zhixuan went to the southeast, Zhu Hun and Wu Xiangjie went to the south, and Wu Xiangwen and Wu Xianghuai went to the southwest.
Three groups of people formed a fan and cautiously entered the southern wasteland.
Zhang Zhixuan and his two men had just entered the Southern Wilderness for three days when they discovered a large swarm of locusts.
This swarm of locusts was so numerous that it was as dark as a huge mountain, forming a huge black cloud that blocked the sun. It was impossible to see even one’s finger beneath the locusts, just like the pitch-black night sky.
In order to find out the details of the locusts, Zhang Zhixuan and the two had no choice but to take a risk and get closer.
As the two of them gradually approached the locust swarm, Zhang Zhixuan looked up and saw that these locusts were extremely large, far exceeding the types Zhang Zhixuan had seen in his previous life. The smallest ones were over three inches tall, and the slightly larger ones were over an inch tall. There are even some that are larger than a fire crystal ant monster, like a calf that is over three feet tall.
This locust demon has ferocious habits and is quite bloodthirsty.
Their mouthparts are quite sharp and can easily cut through the fur of beasts.
Zhang Zhixuan witnessed with his own eyes that in the blink of an eye, a ferocious cheetah was devoured by thousands of giant locusts.
Wherever they passed, everything immediately became barren of vegetation. No matter flowers, plants, trees, birds, fish or turtles, they were all eaten up and wiped clean by the giant locusts.
With their endless numbers, even some monster beasts became food for the monster locusts wherever they went, leaving not even a single bone behind.
The number of locusts in front of them alone exceeds several million. Such a group of locusts poses a greater threat to the monks than the fire crystal ant nest that year.
Mortals are the foundation of immortal cultivators. If there are too many casualties, the immortal cultivators will be unable to succeed.
Seeing the ferocity of the demon locust, Zhang Zhixuan and Liu Zixuan looked at each other, with a trace of cold sweat breaking out on their faces.
“Zhang Daoyou, you have high cultivation level and great magical powers. Do you want to test the foundation of the locust demon? I will listen to your call.” Liu Zixuan has been building the foundation for sixty years, but his cultivation level is only five levels. Since the foundation building, because there is no With further plans and busy family affairs, his cultivation speed was relatively slow and was no longer as fast as Zhang Zhixuan, who was advancing by leaps and bounds.
During the Battle of Chaoyin Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan’s magical powers had opened Liu Zixuan’s eyes. He had already been convinced of Zhang Zhixuan, so he was willing to obey Zhang Zhixuan’s orders.
Both Zhang and Liu are monks in the middle stage of foundation building. As long as their mana is not exhausted, their flying speed is far faster than that of the demonic locusts, and they can escape from danger at any time. Because safety is guaranteed, the two of them dare to try to eliminate this locust.
“Okay, let’s try the Demonic Locust’s strength first.”
As soon as Zhang Zhixuan finished speaking, he immediately spit out a piece of Samadhi True Fire from his Dantian. The Samadhi True Fire turned into a few sparks and easily burned each giant locust to ashes.
Most of these giant locusts are mortal bodies. As long as they are touched by a trace of sparks, they cannot resist them at all. In an instant, Zhang Zhixuan burned tens of thousands of giant locusts to death.
But the number of giant locusts seemed to be endless. One after another, the giant locusts rushed towards Zhang Zhixuan fearlessly, trapping him firmly in the huge black cloud.
Zhang Zhixuan burned a thousand giant locusts to death, and immediately tens of thousands of giant locusts continued to surround them, as if the insect king was commanding them. This endless number of enemies annoyed Zhang Zhixuan the most. He and Liu Zixuan teamed up to fight against the enemy, and soon cleared a hundred feet of space near them.
But this result is only insignificant to the insect swarm that has no end in sight.
The two kept flying and moving among the giant locusts, not letting the giant locusts trap them in the middle. They continued to use a wide range of spells, killing the locusts one by one.
Both of them were monks in the middle of the foundation building period, and their magic power was very deep. In just two hours, they eliminated half of the locusts and cleared a space of more than ten miles.
Perhaps Zhang Zhixuan and the two attacked the locust swarm too hard, and the insect king hiding in the locust swarm finally stopped hiding.
Boom boom boom.
A harsh sound came from the front, and a locust demon over seven feet tall appeared in front of Zhang Zhixuan and the other two.
This locust was blood red all over, with a vague smell of blood on it. It looked very ferocious and terrifying. Judging from the faint coercion exuding from its body, this insect king had reached the third level of low-grade.
I recommend a book by a friend: The First of All Immortals. If you like this book, you can read it.
