Chapter 71 Disaster Comes
The autumn harvest has come to an end.
Farmers are drying the last batch of grain.
Children ran wildly in the bare fields.
Suddenly, a large dark cloud appeared in the sky.
wrong!
Not a dark cloud!
It’s an overwhelming swarm of locusts!
In the small town at the foot of the mountain, the suddenly increasing number of garrison troops received orders from above.
"Be prepared to fight disasters! Protect people's lives!"
And on the mountain, five gyrfalcons soared 10,000 meters above the ground and issued a sharp warning sound!
One after another!
The sound almost hurts people's eardrums!
"What's wrong?"
The farmers put down what they were doing and rubbed their sore ears.
Following the piercing sound, they looked toward the sky.
"Clang!"
The farm tools in his hands fell to the ground.
The darkness on the horizon is approaching little by little.
Overwhelming, like the shadow of death.
"This...is what the gods said...the great disaster..."
murmured a farmer.
Suddenly, he shivered and came back to his senses.
"Big, big, big!" he shouted while stuttering.
"The disaster is coming!"
The villagers rushed to tell each other, and people were panicked for a while.
Everyone was mobilized and began to collect the food to be dried and the clothes outside the house.
However, the locusts will arrive in the blink of an eye!
That dense piece of darkness covered it up!
Only when they got closer did the villagers see clearly.
It turned out to be one palm-long locust after another.
The locust was golden in color, with only its eyes showing a faint red color!
After the locusts landed, they didn't go to eat the herbs immediately, but went after people! "
"My dear mother! I have never seen such a big locust!"
"Oh my god! This locust bites me!"
"Mom, it hurts!"
Wails and cries for help filled the entire village.
At this time, their reinforcements were on the way.
…
The situation in the Kingdom of Life is not optimistic either!
In order to protect the plants on the land, Li Ge turned the soil up and formed an upside-down shell in the sky, and then used the "rock making" skill to turn it into rock.
This can also be used as a temporary emergency.
However, it is not a foolproof strategy.
At this time, the plants were all kept underground where they could not see the light of day.
Plants naturally need sunlight.
If this defensive method is adopted.
As long as the locusts don't leave, the plants won't see light.
If the locusts don't leave for a month, they won't see the light for a month!
What if the locusts don't leave for a year?
Then you won’t be able to see the light for a year!
By then, none of those plants will be able to survive!
Don't think Li Ge is being alarmist.
These locusts came across the Himalayas.
Climbed the snowy mountains!
In other words, they already have enough resistance to low temperatures!
It’s not impossible to overwinter here!
However, fortunately, Li Ge does not only have these defensive methods.
Toxic spores covered the outer rock shell piece by piece.
The locusts eagerly fell to the ground to gnaw. They often didn't take more than two bites before falling to the ground and kicking their legs - dead.
In the air, the bee swarms also began a desperate struggle to defend their homeland!
The ants are all in action!
Although the size of ants and bees is far smaller than that of a fifteen centimeter long locust.
However, one of them is wearing armor and the other has spikes on his tail.
Armored soldiers form small groups and attack the same target! It often doesn't take long to kill a locust!
But……
Too much!
There are too many locusts!
Moreover, these locusts are like gluttonous zombies!
They ruthlessly devoured everything they could eat!
Poor trees, fungi on the ground, and even the corpses of our companions!
After paying a large number of casualties!
Locusts have evolved!
After some of them ate the corpses of their companions, they suddenly stopped all movements, vibrated their wings, and made a rustling sound.
Then, the color of the body became darker and she began to shed her shell on the spot!
"Attack those evolved locusts!"
Li Ge gave the order!
The bees and ants obeyed the orders and swarmed towards the evolved locusts!
"Locusts are not like other insects. They have a unique leader. Therefore, if you want to use the assimilation skill, just assimilating one or two will obviously have no effect."
Li Ge's brain was spinning rapidly, looking for possibilities to break the situation.
"This group of locusts has indeed evolved, but it doesn't look like a normal monster."
You know, normal monsters generally need positive energy, that is, life energy, for their evolution.
However, after these grasshoppers landed, Li Ge's kingdom of life began to be polluted.
Although it's not obvious, Li Ge can feel it.
Negative energy has left speckled traces on the land of the Kingdom of Life.
If you ignore it, it will cause serious trouble in the future!
Li Ge thought of Ying Ying Cao.
The grasshoppers and the grasshoppers are the same eye-catching yellow color.
"Could this group of grasshoppers rely on negative energy to evolve?"
"That makes sense! Grasshoppers are originally green, but with the negative energy of red, wouldn't they turn into yellow?"
"if it is like this……"
Li Ge suddenly had a good idea.
In the center of the golden grass, the earth squirms.
A blood-colored jade tablet was lifted out by the earth.
"Listen to my order, all our units should retreat!"
"Repeat again! All our units, move back!"
Following Li Ge's order, all fighting units retreated like a tide.
Then, a terrifying hole opened in the sky, leading to another dimension.
The blood jade card was swept from left to right by the earth pusher, swallowing all the locusts within the range into its mouth!
"Let's go!"
At the same time, thousands of miles away, Kyushu's special department's side energy began to sound piercing alarms, and the numbers soared!
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Report to the top!"
The data monitor looked panicked.
…
The Realm Gate is like a huge mouth of the abyss, constantly devouring the army of locusts.
Countless locusts appeared in the empty space of the underworld with their heads covered, but they were shattered in the next second.
"Huh? This is different from what I expected?"
Li Ge's eyes were full of doubts, but he did not stop his movements.
In fact, according to Li Ge's idea, these grasshoppers should be able to survive in the swamp of death.
After all, even arrow ants can do it!
Both utilized negative energy as they evolved.
Therefore, Li Ge was also mentally prepared to fight for a long time in the Kingdom of Hades.
Who knew that this locust was so careless!
Li Ge was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he saved himself a lot of effort after all!
The entrance to the underworld is like a huge net bag, allowing this group of domineering things to go and never return!
However, the locust did not flinch at all.
In fact, it was the same before evolution and after the locust plague.
Don't know how to retreat, just keep moving forward.
But they did this not because of any organization or discipline.
Simply because they have to move forward.
Otherwise, you may be attacked or even eaten by your companions behind you!
I don’t know how long it took, but there seemed to be something in this underworld space.
Li Ge rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Did...did I see it wrong?"
Those shadows seem to be...
locust?
…
Contrary to the orderly confrontation in the Kingdom of Life, the nearby villages are simply like hell on earth.
The villagers howled in pain and struggled painfully under the bites of the locusts.
But after a while, he lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Then, they become food for locusts.
Some people were quick enough to hide inside their houses and close the doors and windows.
However, in the small villages on the border, although there are some brick and tile nets, some houses are extremely simple, made of mud and straw, without even a decent door.
"Oh God! Help us!"
The villagers shouted.
Looking at these situations, Zhou Anzhi could only become anxious.
"God! Please save them!"
Zhou Anzhi shouted loudly.
Originally, the citizens could not initiate single-line contact!
However, Zhou Anzhi was a born spirit after all, which was a little different.
Li Ge felt it vaguely, and then, Bian immediately opened the connection.
Before Zhou Anzhi could speak, Li Ge already knew the current tragic situation.
"No, those chickens and ducks are still being transported!"
That's right, a few kilometers away, an army of countless chickens and ducks were running at high speed among the locusts in the sky, leaving behind rolling loess.
But it still takes them a while to reach their destination.
…
The desperate villagers had given up struggling and fell to the ground, moaning softly.
The people in the house looked outside in despair, covering their mouths and crying softly.
At this time, a miracle happened.
The soil on the ground seemed to come alive, swallowing up the people covered with locusts.
The locusts were blocked by the soil and dispersed.
Later, a drum bag was placed on the spot.
The outer layer of the bulge quickly became rocky and turned into an upside-down shell!
Such stone shells appear one after another in place.
"This is……"
The village woman in the window was stunned.
There were still tears in her eye sockets.
But at this moment, the tears didn't bother to fall.
"The soil is alive..."
Such a magical sight has never been seen in my life.
The elder immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Lord of the Earth...the Lord of the Earth has appeared!"
At this moment, Zhou Anzhi's voice spread layer by layer.
"Just wait where you are, reinforcements will be here soon!"
This voice appeared directly in the minds of the villagers, shocking everyone's heart!
"The Lord of the Earth has appeared!"
"The Earth God is here to save us!"
"Long live the Lord of the Land!"
…
Every house, every household, the villagers bowed their heads.
The despair in everyone's eyes was swept away, replaced by courage and hope!
…
"You stay where you are and wait! Reinforcements will be here soon!"
The sound spread over a large area, not only clearly heard by the villagers, but also by the soldiers who came to the rescue.
At this time, they were fully armed, wearing revealing protective clothing, and carrying the latest equipment, marching quickly on the narrow mountain road.
"Did you just hear something?"
one of the team leaders asked.
"I heard it." The other one said with a serious face.
said the voice.
"Reinforcements will be here soon."
