Chapter 245, Insect plague
Yan Ruyu himself also found it strange that there were always many water-eating insects in the Tianci River. If it weren't for the threat of large fish and strange beasts, they would have dominated Huangshan City long ago.
At the beginning, I jumped into the Tianci River with the determination to die, but I had been drifting in the Tianci River for so long and was not attacked by the water-eating insects. It was really strange.
Yan Ruyu: "Do you have a way to control the water-eating insects?"
"No, I don't control the water-eating bugs, but someone can. I guess I'll see you tonight..."
Shangguan Susu: "Prince, you are keeping me in hiding again."
"If you say everything, it will be no longer exciting. After all... this is something that someone has made after so many years of planning. If you say it in advance, it will be too disrespectful to him."
"There is less water in Tianci River, which is also related to Zhenshan Palace?"
Mu Chen did not deny this: "That's right, I asked the Qianlong Army's excavation team to dig several rivers upstream of the Tianci River a month in advance to divert the river water away."
"In one month, can you drain the river water of such a large river? Have you sent hundreds of thousands of troops to start construction together?"
Tianci River is not small. If you want to dig a river channel and lead the river away, it is a big project. If Qianlong Army wants to complete it, it also requires a lot of manpower. This will inevitably expose the whereabouts of Qianlong Army. But strangely, so far
Yan Ruyu did not receive any news that the Qianlong Army appeared in the upper reaches of the Tianci River.
Yan Ruyu really couldn't figure out how Mu Chen could dispatch it to complete such a large project in secret.
"It doesn't take so many people, just a few hundred people, it's enough. I let the Qianlong Army soldiers pretend to be a mercenary group and arrive at the upper reaches of the Tianci River smoothly and hide it from your ears." Of course, the most important thing is
There are still spiritual rats to help. Thousands of spiritual rats make it difficult to dig a river channel with all their strength. The Qianlong Army soldiers who pretend to be mercenaries are only responsible for vigilance and breeding, and the work is very easy.
"Hundreds of people? Such a few people can dig a river in one month... it's so... terrible."
"It's normal that you don't believe it. In the future, when you see our great heroes, you will understand that this matter is really simple."
Mu Chen: "Now the water of Tianci River has decreased, and the living space of water-eating insects has been compressed. The secrets hidden by those who are interested will be made public soon."
………………………………………………………………
Today's Qianlong Army has become more laborious than a few days ago, and has tried to attack the Huangshan City wall many times, but every time, after arriving at the Huangshan City wall, it quickly evacuated, and then changed into a group of troops to attack again, the Third Elder
I was confused by Qianlong Army's strange operation.
Of course, this is just the Qianlong Army, training the soldiers to siege the city.
When sieging the city, what formations are used, how to reduce casualties on the way, how to deal with them, etc., all require actual combat to train. Of course, Mu Chen will not waste such a good opportunity.
The Huangshan City was already shocked by the strange operation of Qianlong Army.
On several occasions, the Qianlong Army had already attacked the city wall gate, but they just didn't attack. Each time, they retreated in a very organized manner, which was puzzling.
Because of Qianlong Army's strange operation this day, the third elder was worried several times, but he didn't have time to pay attention to Wubaishi, why didn't he come back for so long?
When the third elder came to his senses, he realized that Wu Baishi was probably killed.
Only after truly fighting with Qianlong Army did the third elder understand their terror. The Murong family had completely fallen out with the Zhenshan Palace. Such a group of disciplined enemies would threaten the Murong family's business.
If one day Mu Chen and the Murong family break up and order to attack the Tianrong Trading Company of the entire empire, the Murong Trading Company will definitely be severely damaged. At that time, those big forces that have been ready to go will definitely take the blame. The Murong family
The status will also plummet.
At this time, the third elder did not care about face and could only ask for help from the imperial capital, hoping to ask the Supreme Elder to take action and kill Mu Chen.
As a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, there are naturally some old guys in the family with high strength. Almost all of these old guys have been unable to escape the world, devoted themselves to practicing, trying to break through the final restrictions and achieve the position of immortals. Only the Murong family met.
Only when they are really upset will they be able to do so.
After learning from the mistakes, the third elder had decided to ask the elder of the Elders' Court to beg the Supreme Elder to assassinate Mu Chen to ensure the prosperity of the Murong family.
The news of the request for help has been sent out. I believe that someone will be sent over from the imperial capital soon, and the third elder was relieved.
The weather is gloomy tonight... Because of the heavy fog for many days, Huangshan City was covered with a storm of dampness. Just this afternoon, the sky suddenly covered the top of dark clouds. A heavy rain washed away the blood on the corner of the street and gave the busy Huangshan City
, a cold compress came.
Because of this heavy rain, the Qianlong Army had to finish training in advance. Because of today's special nature, the major generals of the Qianlong Army did not receive the order to attack and rested in the army for a day.
The heavy rain was heavy, and the Tianci River began to surging. After the river was stirred by the heavy rain, it caused abnormal fluctuations on the entire river surface.
Countless black and brown water-eating insects seemed to have been instructed, and they... actually began to... log in.
The blackness was overwhelming, and countless water-eating insects emerged from the Tianci River, and used the rain to attack the river bank... Insect scourge! Explosive power!
Some mercenary residents near the river bank saw countless water-eating insects landing, and looked frightened and shouted: "Water-eating insects! They are onshore...The water-eating insects are coming...The insect plague...It is an insect plague!"
"Run quickly... the water-eating insect is here."
"Prepare the torch...prepare the torch, burn the water-eating insects..."
Some experienced people immediately found the torch from the room, but no matter how hard they were, they could not ignite the torch. Perhaps it was because of the heavy fog for many days, and the surroundings were very wet, so they could not ignite the flames at all. At this moment...
...Everyone began to panic.
The weakness of water-eating insects is fire. As long as there is fire, it can be ignited instantly, but after losing the flame, everyone is at a loss.
Faced with an almost infinite number of water-eating insects, you can't kill them at all. Moreover, the more you kill, the more water-eating insects will gather. Once the number of water-eating insects is too large, the corpse gas in the corpse will be poisoned.
The consequences are unimaginable.
The water-eating insects and insects almost wiped out the natural disaster in Huangshan City. Anyone with some common sense knows that this is a catastrophe.
"The fire...the torch...can't be lit, help...the water-eating insects are coming, who will save me?"
"Damn the worms, go to die... go to die... hahaha." Some mercenary cultivators with good strength have begun to organize personnel to massacre water-eating insects. Water-eating insects are indeed not powerful. After a few attacks, they were beaten by
They killed a lot, but when they came to their senses, they found that the water-eating insects around them gathered more and more, and they could not kill them at all.
At this time, an old guy in the distance yelled: "Don't slaughter water-eating insects. There is corpse qi in the body of water-eating insects. The corpse qi will attract water-eating insects to gather, and will also poison you. Go away... leave here..."
The old man's reminder was too late. Because of the accumulation of corpses of water-eating insects, the corpse gas was already strong enough. They soon felt that their hands and feet were numb and their bodies began to become sore and soft, while water-eating insects were in a big army, and they were instantly ready to go.
A mercenary team, swallowing...
Such a scene has been repeated in countless places. Many newcomers in Huangshan City have begun to massacre on a large scale because they do not know the terrible nature of water-eating insects. However, the result is that they not only attract more water-eating insects, but also become poisoned by corpses.
A delicacy for water-eating insects.
Faced with countless news of death, the third elder looked fierce and shouted: "How could this happen? Why... some small insects are so terrible, and how could they be so many in number?"
After saying that, he grabbed Yan Sanqian beside him and said, "You... have been in Huangshan City for so many years, don't you know the weakness of water-eating insects?"
Yan Sanqian said in fear: "Water-eating insects are afraid of fire. As long as there is fire, they will be ignited. As long as there is fire, water-eating insects are not a threat."
"What are you waiting for? I set fire to me to death."
A subordinate said: "The third elder, it's raining outside, it's cloudy and wet around, and there's no fire at all."
"Impossible. Even if it is damp, it is impossible to have any flames."
After saying that, the third elder took out the flint and started to light the fire, but he could not fire at all.
After careful perception, the third elder said in surprise: "How could it be! Most of the spiritual energy around him is actually water-based, which means..."
Because of the gathering of a large amount of water-attributed spiritual energy, it is difficult to ignite ordinary flames. Only the flames activated by spiritual power can be dispersed. However, spiritual power is limited after all, and it is impossible to burn on a large scale. Even if there is open fire, the support of spiritual power will be lost.
After that, the open flame will be extinguished quickly and will not kill many water-eating insects at all.
At this moment, a terrible idea popped up in the mind of the third elder. Combined with the strange operations of Qianlong Army today, combined with the water-eating insect slaughtering the city, could it be... all of this was intentionally arranged by Qianlong Army, and this big game
The fog... was also created by Qianlong Army.
This idea made the third elder very scared. If this was the case, wouldn’t Qianlong Army have already planned everything from the beginning, and he was just a doll in their hands, so he was at will.
The third elder quickly shook his head and denied this idea. It must be a coincidence, right! All of this is just a coincidence!
The arrogance in his heart made him unwilling to admit his ignorance or the horror of his enemies.
But facts are facts, and they will not become a coincidence just because you don’t believe them. All of this is indeed Mu Chen, who has arranged it with one hand.
Outside the city, Mu Chen listened to the shouts and explosions coming from Huangshan City, and said a little lonely: "Huoyu, Susu, Ruyu, do you think I... cruel?"
Shangguan Susu: "Prince, this is the battlefield. There is no cruelty or cruelty at all. The prince should be proud of his decisiveness."
Huo Yu didn't understand very much and said, "Aren't the people in Huangshan City our enemies?"
Yan Ruyu looked scared. Fortunately, she had left Huangshan City and said, "Sure enough, you also made this heavy fog."
"It's just a large spiritual gathering array, which will gather a large amount of water-attributed spiritual energy, form a large fog, and suppress open fire. However, because the range of the formation is too large, it takes so many days to see the effect."
