"Brothers," Qingshi rubbed his hands and pretended to be excited, "Fuyu wants to use the spirit-loving rat rabbit to kill Baiyun City and our joint army. He thinks that the spirit-loving rat rabbit has been extinct for hundreds of years. , no one knows him, but I know him. He is here to bring us welfare, so many ghost-loving rats and rabbits are a huge fortune!"
"Yes!" Madru said with a smile, "Let's all mobilize our brothers and let everyone deal with the spirit-loving rats and rabbits tomorrow. This will not only save lives, but also make money!"
Everyone discussed for a few more words and then dispersed. Naturally, they all went back to the camp to publicize the magic and preciousness of the spirit-loving rat and rabbit, and mobilized everyone to catch the harmful beast first and then collect the magic wheat, so as to save their lives and make a fortune without delay.
Qingshi also went to fool around with the brothers in the camp, and then took Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian to the Shenmai Valley, inspecting the terrain while walking, looking for the best place to intercept the spirit-loving pikas.
Qingshi has now fully understood the heavenly way of earth, and it is extremely easy to investigate the situation underground. Soon, he has a thorough understanding of the situation underground.
If you want to stop the spirit-loving rats and rabbits, the best way is to set up a defensive wall formation like Fuyu did. However, the Shenmai Valley is about a hundred miles long and the average width is four to five miles. To set up such a defensive wall formation, It can't be done with just some formation sticks and formation flags.
Fuyu's defense wall uses thousands of huge formation stick pillars, and there are thousands of large vans with formation patterns carved and spiritual sources installed that can match the formation sticks. Qingshi does not have these things. Therefore, it is not feasible to use a magic circle to intercept the spirit-loving pika, and one can only rely on manpower.
The Divine Wheat Valley is about a hundred miles long, but no sacred wheat grows for at least ten miles at either end, and at least 70% of the sacred wheat is concentrated within about thirty miles in the middle of the valley. Therefore, as long as a large number of spirit-loving rats and rabbits are not allowed to enter the core area of thirty miles, Shenmai is not worried about eradicating the species.
Qingshi originally wanted to find several places with thinner soil in the valley from the mouth of the valley to the core area of Shenmai, which is about 30 miles away, and arrange a large number of manpower to intercept them. After some exploration, he found that there were almost no necessary.
Because, three feet below the ground in this valley, there is all thousand-year-old frozen soil. Although the spirit-loving rats and rabbits are naturally able to escape from the earth, they are simply unable to penetrate the thousand-year frozen soil that is stronger than gold and iron.
As a result, these spirit-loving rats and rabbits can only travel within three feet underground. It is not difficult for a Yuandan realm monk to discover and kill them at such a depth. Among the more than 20,000 soldiers of the Co-Prosperity Army, at least 70% of the soldiers are at Yuan Dan level or above.
Despite this, Qingshi still found the best area to intercept the spirit-loving rats and rabbits. This area is about 22 or 3 miles away from the mouth of the valley. The entire area is about two miles long. There are rocks less than two feet below the ground soil. To pass through this area, the ghost-loving rats and rabbits can only move up to two feet below the ground, which is naturally much easier for those who intercept and kill them on the ground. Qingshi plans to lead his brothers from the forward battalion to garrison this area. He is confident that he can intercept and kill half of the spirit-loving pikas here.
At dawn, the team assembled and prepared to go. Fu Yu issued an order through Yashi, Lu'an, Anfu, Hu De and other senior leaders of the Co-Prosperity Army, saying that it was today's wheat harvest battle and hoped that the officers and soldiers of the Co-Prosperity Army would conscientiously implement Marshal Fu's strategic plan to achieve victory. Killing the opponent's soldiers is the main combat goal. In today's battle, every time you kill a Baiyun City rebel, you will be rewarded with hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones, based on the enemy's head.
Qingshi secretly laughed. The current officers and soldiers of the Co-Prosperity Army thought that catching a spirit-loving rat rabbit was equivalent to obtaining two hundred high-grade spirit stones. Who would go to fight against the soldiers of Baiyun City?
Besides, Baiyun City will not send people to harvest the divine wheat at all today, so where can we kill them?
Qingshi, Madrumengzhu and others responded loudly, saying that they would urge the soldiers to conscientiously implement the strategic plan and live up to the commander's trust. Afterwards, the army meandered forward, heading towards the depths of the Shenmai Valley.
After walking about fifteen miles, the team began to disperse, and some people stopped and stopped moving forward.
Catching ghost-loving rats and rabbits is the same as picking magic wheat. Most people work in groups of three or five and form separate formations. Each team selected a location where they felt good about themselves and began to prepare for catching the spirit-loving pika.
Qingshi was the first to stop advancing. He asked Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian to take a large number of brothers to the selected place to set up defenses, but he stopped ten miles away from the defense wall at the mouth of the valley.
Although the entire valley is open, it is not straight. Instead, it has four big bends, roughly in the shape of a snake. Ten miles away from the mouth of the valley is the first big bend. After the army passes this bend, it cannot be seen from the position of the defense wall at the mouth of the valley. Qingshi stopped when he got here, then quietly climbed up a boulder to observe the movement in the direction of the defense wall.
Soon, the first batch of divine wheat began to protrude from the ground. Qingshi observed through the telescope that a group of ghost-loving rats and rabbits began to appear under the defense wall. Within a quarter of an hour, hundreds of thousands of spirit-loving rats and rabbits gathered into a large, dark mass, pouring into the Shenmai Valley like a tide.
The 'tide' does not surge very quickly, and as it moves forward, its size becomes smaller and smaller. Qingshi knew that they were beginning to drill into the ground.
About half an hour later, Qingshi felt that there was movement underground. It seemed that the rats had already arrived here.
Qingshi jumped off the ground and began to move forward with the rats. He found that the rats moved significantly faster. Obviously, as time went by, the awakened rats became more and more active. Moreover, as they got closer to the core area where the divine wheat grew, the rats smelled the scent of the divine wheat and became more and more excited.
Not long after, the rats began to enter the interception area of the Co-Prosperity Army, and most of the soldiers began to happily catch the psychic rats.
A soldier suddenly thrust the spear in his hand into the ground, then bent the barrel of the gun and lifted it up. As the sand flew, the tip of the spear emerged from the ground with a pika. Another companion immediately broke it with a short knife. Open its chest and abdomen, and then use a pottery container to take the spirit-loving pika's heart essence and blood.
A soldier squatted beside a hole dug out of the ground. He hung a sacred wheat with a silk thread in his left hand and placed it in the hole. He held a big mallet in his right hand. A pika came out of the wall of the pit with its nose twitching and rushed towards the divine wheat. Unfortunately, before it could bite the divine wheat, it received a sap on the head and fell limply in the pit.
A group of three soldiers dug a three-foot-deep circular tunnel around a large clump of divine wheat. From time to time, pikas and rabbits would get into the hole and try to eat the spiritual roots of the divine wheat. The result was naturally... When he entered the tunnel, he was captured by the soldiers squatting nearby.
A group of four soldiers buried an iron fence several feet wide in the sand, but left four bowl-sized holes in the fence. Behind the holes, they buried an iron cage containing magic wheat. As they lifted the iron cage from the sand from time to time, there would always be one or two rats and rabbits in the cage that had fallen into the trap.
As Qingshi moved forward, he used his Qingfeng finger to send out wind blades from time to time and shot them into the ground. Every time he shot out the wind blade, he would kill a ghost-loving pika that was walking underground. Of course, Qingshi would not dig them out to collect their sperm. Where's the blood?
After Qingshi advanced for more than ten miles, he came to the area he selected. As a result, he found that Duan Wutian, Chen Tianye and Tai Yang led the forward battalion, and Madru, Mu Qian and Situ Ping led the left guard battalion. , their two battalions organized hundreds of brothers to join forces to make the game even bigger.
In less than two hours, they dug a trench here that cut off most of the valley. The trench was three feet deep and nearly five feet wide. Hundreds of people could stand in it, and they could move freely. Turning around, I didn’t feel cramped at all.
At this time, a large number of ghost-loving pikas emerged from the earth wall facing the mouth of the valley and fell into the ditch. The bottom of the ditch was entirely made of rocks, and the wall facing the inside of the valley was also half made of stones. The rats fell into the ditch. After that, it was difficult to get into the soil and escape. Most of them just jumped up and down in the trench. They were caught and killed by the soldiers, causing heavy losses.
Qingshi originally hoped to kill half of the ghost-loving rats and rabbits here, but now it seems that only 30% of the ghost-loving rats and rabbits can break through this line of defense and enter deeper into the valley. And even if they break through this line of defense, there are still more Communist soldiers waiting for them.
Seeing this lively rat-catching scene, Qingshi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Haha, the wisdom of the masses cannot be underestimated. Their fantastic ideas and creativity are amazing! Comrades, roll up your sleeves and work hard!"
Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye came to Qingshi. Duan Wutian smiled and said: "These guys think this gadget is a 'healing holy medicine', why do you need to mobilize it! Looking at this posture, another half a million won't be enough for them to catch them." of."
"Yes," Chen Tianye said, "But after they catch them, everyone comes with jars of blood essence and wants to sell it to us. What should we do?"
"What are you afraid of?" Qingshi said, "Let's buy some symbolically and then say we have no money. What else can they do to you? Besides, I think everyone will give such a 'healing medicine' to themselves and their relatives and friends. If you keep some, I’m afraid not many will be willing to sell them.”
"Yes! If I don't buy it, who can force it to be sold to us?" Duan Wutian said, "What I'm most worried about is that after they get this 'holy healing medicine', they find it's useless, so why don't they eat us alive? Already?"
"There's no need to be afraid," Qingshi said. "There are four auxiliary ingredients in the secret recipe I disclosed. Although these auxiliary ingredients are worthless, it is not an easy task to get them all. It takes only a few years to complete them. Uncertain."
"That's true!" Chen Tianye smiled and nodded. "I was thinking at the time, why are you talking about some weird accessories? Later I realized that this was to ensure that our inflated cowhide would not be punctured on the spot. "
"It will definitely break," Qingshi said with a smile, "but it will take at least a few years for them to understand. By then, we will have already moved away!"
"Huh?" Duan Wutian scratched his bald head and asked, "Why does it take at least several years?"
"Brother Qi, think about it," Qingshi said, "It would take at least half a year to go from here to the Chizhihai Sea to get water! From the Chizhihai Sea to Nanfengze, it would take at least another half a year. When we get to Nanfengze, Can you be sure how old that reed is? In order to ensure that the compatibility is accurate, many people will wait for three years for the newly sprouted reed buds, and..."
"There will still be ashes on the bottom of the pot for more than ten years," Chen Tianye said with a smile, "Maybe someone will buy an iron pot and burn it for ten years..."
Hahaha......
Duan Wutian suddenly realized, and the three of them couldn't help laughing together.
