In Mengqiu, the 413th year of the Gregorian calendar, the sound of falling water kept coming from the Dongting Lake under the Shuiling Peak of the Western Mountains.
Looking around, the Dongting Lake, which has hundreds of miles of rippling blue waves, is filled with green-winged ducks, and there are constant squawking sounds on the lake.
I saw one by one Wurenjing tribesmen, driving the green-winged ducks to set off from Chenyu and move toward the counties along the waterways opened by the Yang family to the counties.
Just when the various factions in Yuzhou were once again puzzled by the Yang family's inexplicable actions, the Yang family issued a notice to the entire Yuzhou.
According to the Yang family’s farming experience, there will be a large-scale locust plague this year. All families in Yuzhou are asked to prepare early.
The various factions in Yuzhou finally understood why the Yang family sent an army of ducks. It turned out to be to prevent the locust plague.
After hearing this, the various factions in Yuzhou just gave some brief instructions and ignored them. It was just a plague of locusts.
After two to three hundred years of cultivation, each village now has three or four martial arts monks, who can quickly kill the locusts even if they break out.
At the same time, Baiyi Hall and Gongzaotang joined forces to begin large-scale production of a type of formation disk called Yijin Formation, and then quickly sent it to villages and towns in nine counties.
At the same time, the Bingzhan Hall issued a large number of tasks, and the martial arts disciples of the Yang family were dispatched to various counties to assist the villages, and the towns prepared to resist the locust plague.
Seeing such a big move by the Yang family, and thinking of the various measures taken by the Yang family during the period of spiritual energy exhaustion, the various factions in Yuzhou couldn't help but pay more attention to it.
As time goes by, there are indeed more and more grasshoppers in the wilderness fields.
Experienced spiritual farmers also saw at this time that the locust plague was inevitable, but various factions in Yuzhou still felt that the Yang family was making a fuss out of a molehill.
In Xixi County, Yang Junshan and others followed An Xia to inspect various towns and villages to prepare for the locust plague. Yang Junshan twitched his lips again.
Mortal realm monks led groups of green-winged ducks to patrol the spiritual field, killing grasshoppers and crickets along the way.
Looking at the pound of array disks distributed by the Yang family, Yang Junshan was finally a little proud, as he finally had something to use.
Yang Junshan has shown great talent in formations since he tested his spirit. This time, the family's Yijin formation was his contribution.
Originally, Yang Junshan was worried that his family would not pay enough attention to him, but he did not expect that the level of attention would be far beyond his expectation.
"That is!"
At this moment, An Xia, who was at the peak of the martial arts realm, was the first to notice the abnormality, with a solemn look on his face.
I saw a line of gray-brown dark clouds slowly rising from the horizon. The dark clouds kept rising and changing into different shapes. It took just a cup of tea to cover half of the sky.
Locust plague is coming!
At the same time, a jade talisman was sent from Xixi County. As a real-life monk, Yang Tiangang could naturally detect the incoming giant locust earlier.
After discovering the palm-sized giant locusts, Yang Tiangang was surprised. If he were unprepared, today's harvest would be ruined.
"Let's go back to the county office!"
Every village and town has already made preparations, and there is no need for them to go and cause trouble.
Although the county government office is protected by formations, there is also a large area of spiritual fields. What An Xia needs most at this moment is to return to the county government office to assist Yang Tianggang in taking charge of the defense of the entire Xixi County.
The gray-brown dark clouds are getting closer and closer, and the sight of blocking the sky makes everyone feel an increasingly depressing atmosphere. Finally, everyone can clearly see that the gray-brown dark clouds actually fill the space between heaven and earth.
Endless locusts.
Even some warrior-level monks saw this doomsday-like scene for the first time, standing in the spiritual field and looking at it in shock.
As for Yang Junshan, he is not very interested in this. He has experienced too many such scenes in his dreams.
I don’t know how many times I have seen a locust plague even bigger than the one before me. At this time, with the assistance of Yang Junping and others, he was presiding over the one-pound formation to protect the county government’s one-acre spiritual field.
The locust swarm finally came closer. The gray locust swarm was like a collapsing mountain, smashing down like a golden mountain and a jade pillar.
But before it landed, amid a loud squawking sound, green-winged ducks flapped their wings excitedly and jumped into the air. The duck's beak opened and it clamped down on a giant locust.
Before it even hit the ground, it was already swallowed into his belly.
If someone is in the sky above Yuzhou, they can see such a strange scene, with giant locusts like dark clouds covering the sky above Yuzhou in patches.
But in the nine counties controlled by the Yang family, a green cloud rose into the sky and tore off a large piece of the dark cloud.
Although the gap in the dark clouds was quickly filled by the swarming giant locusts, with this effort, the Yang clan members, who had been prepared for a long time, under the leadership of the village guard, released spells one after another to block the giant locust swarm.
After two to three hundred years of cultivation, each village under the Yang family basically has four or five warrior-realm monks. Together with the people supported by the Bingzhan Hall, there are ten warrior-realm monks in each village.
Ten warrior-level monks combined with the attack of many mortal-level monks immediately cleared a large area of empty space from the swarm of locusts in the sky.
After this gap, the green-winged duck, which had digested the giant locusts, jumped into the air again with its wings vibrating, grabbing the giant locusts one by one and swallowing them into its belly.
This was repeated several times, and before the giant locust actually landed, it had already been weakened by one or two layers.
After tens of thousands of locusts died, the mighty giant locusts finally landed.
At this time, because the locust swarm had already broken into the defense line of the spell, the spiritual farmers and others in each village could no longer prevent all the monks from forming a volley of spells.
They can only stick to the established defense lines and fight on their own, doing their best to consume the swarm of giant locusts that are attacking their villages.
At the same time, the mortals in each village have been organized and are looting the spiritual fields in the village.
Although linggu is not fully mature at this time, harvesting early may reduce yields.
But looking at the overwhelming swarm of locusts outside the village, once they all sweep in, they may not even be able to save the little spiritual grain they harvested.
At this time, dozens or hundreds of small locust swarms had already broken into the spiritual field in the village. Those ordinary locust swarms would pounce on vegetation whenever they saw it.
Although spiritual fields are more attractive to them, these locust swarms are acting more instinctively and will eat ordinary vegetation when they do not find spiritual fields.
After those giant locusts broke into the village, they immediately followed the weak spiritual energy dissipating from the spiritual valley and found the spiritual field. Then they fell on the ears of grain and started to gnaw at them.
The giant locust's upper and lower jaws are extremely sharp and its body is large. More than ten giant locusts pounced on a spiritual grain ear that was about a foot long and devoured it in just half a cup of tea. Then these giant locusts still wanted to eat the whole thing.
The stems and leaves of Zhulinggu must be eaten up before they can give up.
But before they could eat the spiritual grains in the spiritual field, the Yang family distributed a kilogram of formations to stimulate the locusts, which made it difficult for the locusts to move forward.
The One-Pin Formation is simplified from a technique called sinking in the cultivation world. The reason why it is called the 'One-Pin' Formation means that no matter whether it is a huge person or as small as a mosquito, when entering the formation
After the method, you will always suffer an additional pound of weight!
This is not a huge force for the giant locust.
The green-winged duck quacked excitedly. It took less effort than leaping in the air at this moment. It looked at the giant locusts crawling on the ground, one by one with its mouth, and it was so happy to eat.
And many mortals who are eager to harvest the spiritual grains ignore the small swarms of locusts that rush into the spiritual fields, and seize every moment to continue harvesting the spiritual grains.
After harvesting, bundles of spiritual grains are directly bundled into piles and piled on carts. When the piles are full, they are pulled into the village and placed directly into each family's house. At the same time, the houses are tightly locked.
Yanglang County, Lang County, adjacent to Xixi County, was stationed here after Yang Tianfang advanced to the real person realm.
Yang Junming, who came to Yanglang County with his mother, was not out killing locusts at this moment, but was mixing something with several herbs.
After mixing a white medicinal powder, Yang Junming quickly brought several giant locusts, but the giant locusts stayed away one after another.
Locust Spirit Powder, I finally succeeded!
I don’t know if it’s because the previous generations of the Yang family were so outstanding, but the ninth generation of the Yang family did not have very outstanding talents.
However, by the tenth generation of gentlemen, the Yang family has a feeling of talent explosion.
The most famous among them are undoubtedly the two brothers Yang Junshan and Yang Junming. Not only are they calm and talented far beyond their peers, one is also good at formations and the other is good at elixirs.
Although the two of them are still in the mortal realm now, they can still show their considerable talents.
After the Yang family warned of the giant locust plague, Yang Junshan took the lead in creating the Yijin Formation, and Yang Junming, who was also famous with him, was naturally not to be far behind.
After dozens of days of preparation, Locust Spirit Powder was finally created.
A message jade talisman rushed towards Xishan, and then Xishan Baiyi Hall Danshi and Nonggong Hall, following the Baiyi Hall Array Engineer and the construction of the hall, also became busy.
A large amount of low-level spiritual grass was crushed and mixed into white Locust Spirit Powder, and then nine real people were sent out from the West Mountain in one breath, carrying a large amount of Locust Spirit Powder towards the nine counties.
At the Xixi County Government Office, Yang Junshan looked at a bag of locust spirit powder in his hand and looked north, as if he saw Yang Junming from Yanglang County.
Most of the day has passed, the sun is setting in the west, and the Linggu and Lingdao in the Yang family's nine counties have been sold out.
Green-winged ducks swayed along the field road one after another, their bloated bodies seemed unable to walk.
All the spiritual farmers had smiles on their faces, as if they were surviving a disaster. For these spiritual farmers, spiritual grain is their life.
Although due to the rush to harvest, this year's Linggu must have been somewhat damaged, but without the Yang family's various arrangements in advance, this year's harvest would have been good at maintaining five percent...??m
They have never seen a palm-sized giant locust in their lives. Could it be that this locust has become a spirit?
At this moment, Yang Tianggang frowned as he listened to Yang Junshan's statement about the Insect King. After personally killing several Insect Kings and obtaining some low-grade fairy spirits, he hurriedly sent a message to Xishan.
