The mountain wind blew by and picked up the dead leaves on the ground. Qingyao gently stroked her long hair beside her ears and said softly: "Husband, there is a natural disaster, how are you sisters?"
"not too good."
Luo Yu shook his head and said: "The quality of the people in their territory is lower than that of the Kingdom of Yu. People have already begun to die, and birds and beasts have fallen in pieces. If it were not for the protection effect of the goddess, there would have been a plague."
"well……"
A piece of dead leaf slowly fell on Qingyao's white palm. She sighed softly and said: "The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs."
"I hope that all the people in this world can be like these dead leaves in early autumn, falling alone."
"Husband, I want to take my disciples to support my sister's territory everywhere. What do you think?"
She asked this question and waited for a moment, but did not wait for Luo Yu's reply. She asked curiously: "Husband? What's wrong with you?"
"Withered leaves..."
Luo Yu froze on the spot, and thunder flashed in his mind.
"Honey, what did you just say?"
Qingyao's pretty face turned red when she heard this.
She heard Fang Yumeng mention her husband's habit of calling her husband, such as divine girl, maid, weapon spirit, etc. He regarded them as family members or daughters, and would call them "baby".
Only to his wife would he call her "dear".
This was the first time Luo Yu called himself this, but it made her feel sweet. She blushed slightly and said softly: "I mean, the dead leaves of early autumn..."
"Early Autumn!"
"By the way, early autumn!"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Yu. He looked sharply at the withered tree beside him, frowned, and walked slowly over.
Standing in front of the big tree, he stroked the dry trunk with his palms, and the shock in his eyes became more obvious.
Qingyao and Long'er came up behind them, and Long'er asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong?"
Luo Yu said: "Baby, the plants in our territory have been strengthened many times and have strong vitality. This kind of camphor tree will only wither in the coldest days of winter, and new shoots will appear as soon as the weather gets warmer."
"It's only early autumn now, so how can we talk about withering?"
"Huh?"
Long Er and Qing Yao said "Hey" at the same time. They were both extremely smart girls and they immediately thought of something.
Qingyao touched her fingertips, and a green light swept across it. The withered camphor tree was uprooted. When they saw clearly the scene in the mud hole left by the big tree, the three of them looked at each other with horror in their eyes.
Inside the mud hole, there was a pile of insect corpses lying there!
Luo Yu said three words in a deep voice: "Blight."
Long Er suddenly understood and said: "Master, Sister Qingyao, I understand!"
"This mysterious element is formed by the power of withering in the Law of Withering and Prosperity, and it targets all plants!"
"After insects eat plant roots, their bodies are infected with withering elements and begin to die on a large scale. Small birds eat insects, causing widespread death of birds!"
"The carnivores and scavengers that followed ate the bird carcasses, and the withering elements gradually accumulated in their bodies, and they began to get sick! And we common people ate fruits and vegetables, and the withering elements accumulated in our bodies!"
"The root cause of everything is blight!"
Qingyao frowned and stared at the insect corpses in the mud hole, and said: "It should be so, but since the blight disease targets all plants, then there should be more blight elements in herbivores. Why is it the birds that eat the insect corpses instead?"
Be the first to die on a large scale?"
Luo Yu paced while explaining: "This has to do with body structure, habits, and strength."
"First, the intestines of herbivores can better digest plant cellulose. All things are born, and plants wither and flourish in an orderly manner. There is a law of withering and prosperity in them. After millions of years of evolution, herbivores should have certain
Resistance to blighting elements."
"Second, our territory is extremely fertile, with sufficient food. Herbivores do not need to migrate. After staying in the territory for a long time, the strength of all creatures has been improved more than ten times, and their immunity is outstanding."
"Birds, on the other hand, are more affected by the seasons and habitually migrate across Lake Nega, so they receive less reinforcement and have a shorter life span."
"Because of the intensity of life, even though the plants in the territory are the main carriers of Fusarium wilt, they did not wither and die immediately in a short period of time, and their appearance remained unchanged."
"In addition, autumn is a season when all things wither. Our inertial thinking makes us think it is a plague or a curse from the enemy, but instead ignores the plants that can be seen everywhere!"
The so-called "one thing, all things", Luo Yu explained it like this, thoroughly understanding the whole story.
"Yes, the Tiandao World event page only publishes the death probabilities of birds, animals and fish, but deliberately does not publish the probabilities of insects, because once this data is made public, smart people can immediately reveal the mystery."
"Mu Qing has been silent in the past few internal meetings. Everyone thought she was in seclusion again, but in fact she was banned!"
"She is the Queen of the Zerg. She understood the causes and consequences of the blight immediately. However, this event required an independent solution, so the moment she understood it, she was banned on the spot!"
"As for why the subordinates of Yuan Palace are not affected, it is because Yuan Palace is the spokesperson of the will of the mainland, and the main body of the blight is the land of the mainland. Therefore, under the intervention of the will of the mainland, they are immune to this disaster!"
As soon as Luo Yu finished speaking, the system interface popped up.
[Tip: It is detected that you solve the mystery of this mysterious death event, and the success rate will be uploaded to the event exclusive page]
[Tip: You have been banned from major channels. You and all your couriers, mechanical messengers and other related personnel cannot leave to friendly or neutral areas. You and your kingdom are currently in a semi-isolated state. Please work hard to solve the problem of withering.
Disease incident!]
The three of them looked away from the system page. Long Er showed a helpless look and said: "Master, we have also been imprisoned."
Luo Yu nodded and quickly swiped the virtual page with his fingertips to go to the event-specific channel.
[Current puzzle solving success rate for mysterious deaths: 7.933%]
Staring at the rising number, Luo Yu said: "This incident is actually not difficult. Many people have solved the mystery. The reason why we have been trapped for so long is because the immune system of the territorial creatures is too weak."
It is so powerful that it confuses us.”
"Secondly, because there was no shutdown of work and production, officials and people were still focused on economic construction and did not pay high attention to it, so the response was slightly slow."
Qingyao nodded in agreement and said: "Even with the various means of the mechanical clan, under emergencies, the huge and bloated national machinery cannot truly be commanded."
"The transmission and execution of orders ultimately requires grassroots officials to implement them. The cultivation of the grassroots team's mobility needs to be put on the agenda."
