After hearing what Elder Laigu said, Duowei and Qingshi were a little puzzled.
"Elder Laigu," Qingshi said, "Have you guessed Fuyu's conspiracy?"
"Yes," Lai Gu said, "Fuyu doesn't want to use these spirit-loving rats and rabbits to compete with us for the divine wheat. He wants to completely eradicate the divine wheat species!"
"Ah?" Duowei was shocked, "How can this be done?"
"This little Psychic Pika can do it." Lai Gu said, "Psychic Pika likes to eat all kinds of spiritual plants, especially the roots of these spiritual plants, because they spend most of their time underground. Rarely does it come to the ground.
“They are naturally earth-escapers, can burrow very deep into the ground, and can move very quickly underground, so it’s very difficult to catch them or kill them.
“Once the number of these things increases, they will become overrun. No matter where they invade, the spiritual plants there will be completely destroyed.
"The roots of the sacred wheat are deep in the soil. We humans never dare to damage the roots of the sacred wheat when we pick it, so that they will grow again every few years.
"Now, Fuyu has brought so many ghost-loving rats and rabbits. Once these little things enter the valley, they will quickly eat up all the roots of the sacred wheat. Not to mention five hundred thousand, even fifty thousand. Just, or even just five thousand, that would be enough to completely wipe out the sacred wheat in this valley!"
"So powerful?" Qingshi said, "In that case, what does Fuyu do with so many?"
"Fuyu is a cunning old man," Elder Laigu said, "he wants to make sure nothing goes wrong. Although five thousand ghost-loving pikas are enough to wipe out the sacred wheat in this valley, we will definitely try to kill them as long as Limit their number within a certain range and prevent them from completely gnawing away the magical roots. Then, in another two months at most, when autumn and winter come, these ghost-loving pikas will not be able to survive in the north. If the ground survives, it will freeze to death, but as long as the Shenmai species are not completely eradicated, it will slowly recover."
"So that's it!" Qingshi suddenly realized, "No wonder Fuyu wants to do so many things. His move forced you to send a large number of manpower to deal with the spirit-loving rats and rabbits, while he led the Xianqu army to attack forcefully. City, let you focus on one thing and not the other."
"Yes," Lai Gu sighed, "If we focus on dealing with the spirit-loving pika, the city defense will be in danger. If we focus on the city defense, the spirit-loving pika will definitely eradicate the divine wheat species. Without Shenmai, our army will not be able to supply and our soldiers will not be able to practice. Not only will the population of Baiyun City not increase, but a large number of people will starve to death. In that case, even if we can defend Baiyun City this time, we will not be able to survive for long. In five years at most, Baiyun City will be destroyed! Alas!"
"This..." Duowei said anxiously, worried, "Elder, is there nothing we can do?"
"We can only fight hard," Elder Lai Gu said. "Whether it is the city defense or the divine wheat, we must defend it, otherwise we will have to accept the fate of life and death if the city is destroyed. Young Master Qingshi, I have to go back and report the situation you mentioned to the city lord. and the council to adjust the defenses of Shenmai Valley and Baiyun City, I’ll take my leave now, thank you so much for your help, young hero, I’m very grateful.”
"Wait a minute!" Qingshi said, "Elder, don't be too pessimistic. Maybe I can find a way to deal with Fu Yu's conspiracy."
"Oh?" Elder Lai Gu said in surprise and joy, "Young hero, please tell me clearly how to deal with it!"
"I suggest you just strengthen the city defense," Qingshi said, "ignore the Shenmai Valley side."
"What?" Duowei shouted, "You want us to give up Shenmai?"
"Not bad!" Qingshi said, "Tomorrow should be the last day of the Shenmai season this time. Fuyu will definitely release the spirit-loving rats and rabbits tomorrow and launch a general attack on Baiyun City. I suggest you just defend the city and Shenmai will Don’t worry about it, I’ll figure it out.”
"Young hero Qingshi!" Duowei looked at Qingshi with a confused look, "You want us to give up Shenmai just because of one spirit-loving rat rabbit? Do you know what Shenmai means to our Baiyun City? Five hundred thousand spirit-eating rats and rabbits The spirit rat rabbit is just a number you said, you didn’t mean it..."
Obviously, Duowei had doubts about Qingshi's identity and motives.
"Duowei!" Elder Lai Gu interrupted Duowei's words loudly and said, "I left behind the myriad affairs in the city and came here just to see Young Hero Qingshi with my own eyes. I can guarantee that Young Hero Qingshi is not only upright and upright. He is Qing, and he is blessed with luck, so he is definitely not a treacherous person, you should not doubt him!"
Duowei blushed, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Young hero Qingshi," Lai Gu said, "How do you want to deal with the spirit-loving rats and rabbits and keep the magic wheat? This matter is of great importance, so please make it clear."
"This..." Qingshi said, "I haven't thought it through yet. By the way, the elders should know that Fuyu cut off the south exit of Shenmai Valley with a magic circle, right?"
"I know," Elder Laigu said, "Fuyu's move has far-reaching intentions. First, he wants to induce Baiyun City to fight with the Gongrong Army in a fight where both sides will lose. Secondly, he wants to take over the Gongrong Army after defeating our Baiyun City. Get rid of it. Now it seems that he has another consideration, which is to confine the spirit-loving rats and rabbits in the Divine Wheat Valley to prevent them from escaping and endangering the spiritual plants on the mainland again."
"Yes, what the elder has seen is very true!" Qingshi said, "The reason why the Communist Army worked for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was actually for Shenmai. Maybe I can use Fuyu to use the spirit-loving rat and rabbit to cut off Shenmai, and his attempt to destroy the Communist Party. The Invalid Army’s conspiracy was announced, and the Co-Intellectual Army was asked to kill the spirit-loving rats and rabbits.”
"Hmm~" Elder Lai Gu stroked his short beard under his chin and nodded slightly. "This may be feasible. Naturally, the Co-Prosperity Army does not want to lose Shenmai."
"Yes!" Qingshi said, "If Baiyun City does not participate in tomorrow's wheat harvest battle, I think there should be no problem in convincing the soldiers of the Communist Army to kill the spirit-loving rats and rabbits. On the contrary, if the two sides are still fighting each other for the sacred wheat, then killing The Psychic Pika is not very efficient.”
"But," Duowei muttered, "if we don't participate in tomorrow's wheat harvest battle, we will lose a lot of divine wheat. In this way, it will still be difficult for us to maintain."
"Young Master Qingshi," Lai Gu said, "Whether Baiyun City will participate in tomorrow's wheat harvest battle or not is not something I can decide on my own. The specific decision will have to be decided collectively by the council. But no matter what, please do your best. Convince the soldiers of the Communist Army not to just grab the magic wheat, but more importantly, to kill the spirit-loving rats and rabbits."
"Elder! I will definitely do it." Qingshi said, "Please try your best to persuade the council and put all your strength on city defense. Since Fuyu can get these spiritual-loving rats and rabbits to deal with Shenmai , then he must have prepared other vicious moves to break the city. Apart from anything else, the number of Xianqu troops and evil beasts coming this time has increased a lot compared to before."
"We all know these situations," Elder Lai Gu sighed, "Alas! The fate of mankind in Shenmu Continent may really be over! Once Baiyun City is broken, I am afraid that mankind will not be willing to be slaves in the future!"
"Elder," Qingshi said, "I still say the same thing, please put all your strength on the city defense. I will definitely find a way to solve the matter of the spirit-loving rat and rabbit. Even if it really can't be solved, God If wheat is really wiped out, it won’t be the end of the world.”
"Huh?" Elder Lai Gu said in confusion, "What does Young Hero Qingshi mean by this? Don't you understand, Young Hero? Shenmai is the lifeblood of my Baiyun City!"
"I know," Qingshi said with a slight smile, "but there is not only one spiritual source in the world, Shenmai, right?"
"Young hero means..." Lai Gu became even more confused.
"As far as I know," Qingshi said, "One piece of divine wheat is roughly equivalent to one high-grade spiritual stone. The divine wheat valley produces about 20 million pieces of divine wheat each season. May I ask Elder Lai Gu, what happened in Baiyun City last season? How much divine wheat was harvested?”
"Six million," Lai Gu said, "We harvested more than six million pieces last season. We have calculated that we can persist only if the harvest per season is no less than five million pieces."
"I understand," Qingshi took out a square box-shaped storage device and handed it to Elder Laigu, and said, "I have some high-grade spiritual stones here to give to Baiyun City. I believe that with these spiritual stones, you no longer have to worry about the wheat harvest. In a big battle, just focus on defending the city."
"oh?"
Elder Laigu took the storage box and used his mental power to explore it. He was stunned and turned to stone on the spot.
"Elder?" Duowei gently pulled Laigu's sleeves and asked curiously, "How many spirit stones are there?"
"Oh!" Elder Laigu came back to his senses and said with a look of surprise, "This...how many are there? I...I can't count them either!"
"I haven't counted it either!" Qingshi laughed, "It's about 100 million pieces."
"ah!"
Now it's the turn of the multi-dimensional petrification.
"Young Hero Qingshi!" Elder Lai Gu knelt down on one knee in excitement, clasped his fists and said, "On behalf of the 500,000 people in Baiyun City, I would like to thank you for your great kindness!"
"No way!" Qingshi helped Elder Gu up and said with a smile, "Elder Gu said this as if I am not a human being."
"Uh!" Elder Lai Gu was stunned and said with a smile, "I made a mistake, young hero, don't blame me! Hahaha..."
After all, he had seen the big world and quickly calmed down.
The two held each other's hands and smiled at each other.
Lai Gu collected the storage box and said goodbye to Qingshi. Of course, he wanted to bring this great news and gift back to Baiyun City as soon as possible.
"Why are you still standing there?" Laigu dug a chestnut on the head of Duowei, who was still in a petrified state. "Hurry up and inform all the soldiers that you can harvest as much divine wheat as you can today, and try not to conflict with the Co-Prosperity Army. Let’s fight for blood, and the whole army will return to the city as soon as the sun goes down.”
"Yes!" Duowei couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and agreed before leaving.
"Wait a minute," Lai Gu said, "The matter of the spirit stone is kept secret for the time being and must not be leaked."
"Understood!" Duowei responded, bowed deeply to the bluestone, and then turned around and left.
"Young hero Qingshi," Elder Laigu said to Qingshi, "the three of you are among the enemy. You must be careful and pay attention to safety. I believe that with the spiritual stone you gave us, we can definitely defeat him again Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, guard Baiyun City. After the battle, I will be waiting for the young hero in Baiyun City."
After Elder Laigu finished speaking, he took Jin Mian back to Baiyun City. Qingshi quietly went back to look for Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian.
