"This is the No. 1 breeding farm," Feng Luan pointed to a mountain forest and said: "This breeding farm covers three mountains. There are many small bugs that reproduce quickly and are used as food for the immortal master's war bugs. There are also some Plants that are friendly to insects can effectively promote the growth of insects. After almost two years, the more than 30,000 insects that Master Immortal has put inside have reached their peak combat effectiveness."
"Well, how many other farms are there like this one?" Zhang Changkong collected most of the insect eggs found by the insect catching team over the years. Although most of them were ordinary bugs, due to the insect catching team's active search for insect nests, There are even more than 3,000 insect eggs harvested every month at high times, and more than 1,000 at low times. In addition to some insect breeding methods researched on Miao Mountain, Zhang Changkong doesn't know exactly how many insect eggs he has now. .
The rare ones are mainly steel ants. There are about 50,000 in Black Bee City plus the Gray Iron Mine. There are also more than 10,000 black bees. The rest are close to 30,000 various small-scale rare ants. .
As for ordinary bugs, he uses the "Secret Technique of Slave Bugs" to deal with the people on Miao Mountain after contracting the bug eggs, from hatching to growing up. He really doesn't know how much exactly.
"Back to Master Immortal, there are already fifteen breeding farms. Only five of them are as big as the No. 1 breeding farm. The other ten breeding farms are all bugs that can reproduce offspring stably. They need to accumulate to thirty to fifty thousand. It may take about six or seven years to scale up," Feng Luan replied.
"Are there enough funds? Can the output of the gray iron mine support such a large expenditure?"
"Originally it was not enough, but Manager Wan and Manager Liu used their manpower to mine three small copper mines, a micro silver mine, and a large iron mine in the Sanhe rainforest. There are also some proven veins that are inconvenient to mine and gray. The iron ore plus these veins can barely support the expenses on Miao Mountain." Feng Luan knew that Zhang Changkong didn't care much about these chores, so he said truthfully.
"Okay, let the insect catching team find more flying insect eggs as much as possible. Unless the reptiles are rare, you don't need the ordinary ones." Zhang Changkong said: "Next, I may come back to replenish the insects, and leave the breeding to you. You guys."
"Yes, Master Immortal".
As soon as Zhang Changkong used his magic technique, a number of insects flew densely in the three mountains. Most of them were insects similar to gadflies, only about the size of a body fist.
A dark cloud of insects gathered above Zhang Changkong's head.
After a while, Zhang Changkong felt that the insects were almost gathered, so he no longer hesitated.
With the movement of his magic power, his body floated into the air, golden-needle wasps appeared at his feet, and colorful moths immediately flew to Zhang Changkong's side.
The wasp carried Zhang Changkong and flew above the insect cloud, leading the large group of insects to fly in one direction.
After flying for half an hour, three thousand black bees joined the dark cloud of insects as the vanguard of the insect swarm.
Also following on the ground were three golden scarabs carrying huge cloth bags. These were the only crawling insects that Zhang Changkong brought to Nanman Tianguan this time.
In fact, Zhang Changkong was confident that he could handle the battle at Nanman Tianguan even without relying on insects. However, why should he do it himself when he could just sit and watch the show?
He just uses his bugs as consumables, and hopes to purify the genes of these bugs through fighting.
Anyway, even if all these bugs were dead, there were still more mature bugs on Miao Mountain waiting to sacrifice themselves for him, and he didn't feel any pity at all.
Moreover, the more times he takes action, the more likely he is to be targeted by someone with ulterior motives. Zhang Changkong decided not to take action if he could, because those who came to plunder did not really infringe on his interests. There was no need for him to do so every time. Kill all the enemies. If you can kill the bugs, just kill them. If you can't kill them, forget about them.
Well, at Nanman Tianguan, he planned to create an image that he only relied on insects, and then give them a surprise after the background tried their best to get close to him.
"Crack!"
At night, Zhang Changkong lit a fire in a mountain forest to rest.
Looking at the insect swarms distributed within a few miles of the mountain forest, the creatures within this range have been completely destroyed, and even many trees have been half-dead by the disaster.
Wherever the insect swarms stay, they kill countless creatures.
"Fortunately, there are many uninhabited areas in the territory of the Xiangshan Sect. Otherwise, it would not be easy to bring these insects across the border. Food would be a big problem along the way." Zhang Changkong took out a bag from the back of a golden scarab. Dried meat and water bags, "I don't know if these insects will leave eggs along the way, leading to species invasion."
"However, even if species invade and damage the ecology, I don't care. The wilderness is so big, and I haven't heard of any kind of creature that can destroy nature on a large scale."
After eating the dry food, Zhang Changkong opened the bag on the back of another golden scarab. The huge bag was filled with vitality stones, totaling more than 1,300 pieces, plus the vitality stones in the other bag. Stone, this time Zhang Changkong brought almost three thousand vitality stones.
Now Zhang Changkong can absorb eight pieces of vitality stones in one night of cultivation, 12 pieces of three golden scarabs a day, and 4 pieces of golden-needle wasps and colorful moths. These can last for about three months. However, Zhang Changkong feels that his men These 30,000 insects may be almost dead in less than three months. After all, most of the monks who come to Nanman Tianguan to plunder are middle and late-stage warlocks. It may not be surprising that they all die in one battle.
Zhang Changkong traveled in the sky, resting at night, even when it rained, and even when he was in a bad mood. When he encountered strange places, he led the insect swarms to cause trouble, trying to find opportunities. After all, this was how he found the magical black stone.
Unfortunately, Zhang Changkong only killed a few beasts with ferocious beast bloodline and found three magical saplings for his five zerg. He planned to dig them up and plant them on the sapling mountain when he came back in the future, but he didn't gain much.
It took Zhang Changkong a month and a half to reach Nanman Tianguan.
Nanman Tianguan is not a fortress, but consists of eighteen satellite cities and a central main city.
Each satellite city is hundreds of kilometers away from the main city. Due to the terrain, the distance between them is generally thirty to fifty kilometers.
These eighteen satellite cities and the main city together form the gathering point of the earth's essence.
Originally, Zhang Changkong had no intention of staying in the satellite city. He only wanted to pick up the guard mission from the main city. Unfortunately, the route he chose happened to be not far from a satellite city.
Although he might be questioned by warlocks in the satellite city, Zhang Changkong had no intention of changing his route.
The huge insect cloud could be seen from a distance, just when Zhang Changkong's insect cloud was about to pass by this satellite city.
A group of eight people rode an eagle-like bird mount and cautiously approached the vanguard of the insect swarm where Zhang Changkong was.
"Who are you? This is the territory of the Xiangshan Sect. If you don't explain your identity, don't blame us for being rude." Zhang Changkong felt a spiritual consciousness scanning past him.
Zhang Changkong's magic formula moved, and the insect cloud stopped.
Zhang Changkong released his spiritual consciousness and swept away one late-stage warlock and seven mid-stage warlocks.
Zhang Changkong looked at the bald man at the head. This man was the only late-stage warlock.
"I am Zhang Changkong from Shensang Peak, and I have accepted the mission to guard Nanman Tianguan." Zhang Changkong's voice was not loud, but the eight people opposite were all monks, and they were heard amidst the "buzzing" sound of insects flapping their wings in the sky. I heard Zhang Changkong's words clearly.
"Captain, what should I do?" a young and handsome man asked the bald man.
The bald man frowned, turned his head and asked a middle-aged woman who still had charm: "Wenlan, you are from Shensang Peak. I have never heard that there is a late-stage warlock monk named Zhang Changkong in Shensang Peak. Maybe he is The newly promoted ones were only mid-level warlocks before, have you heard of them?"
The middle-aged woman named Wen Lan heard this and shook her head, "I only came to Nanman Tianguan five years ago, and I have never heard of the name Zhang Changkong before."
"Sorry, before your identity is confirmed..." the bald man said.
"Bald head, listen, I'm not in a very good mood right now." Zhang Changkong didn't listen to his long-winded plan and interrupted directly: "I have no obligation to answer any of your questions. If you want to stop me, just give it a try. My subordinates The insects won’t recognize you as members of the Xiangshan Sect.”
Bald!
The bald man's expression changed and he looked at Zhang Changkong sternly. He hated people calling him bald.
Zhang Changkong looked at the group of them expressionlessly.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down, leaving only the "buzzing" sound of insects flapping their wings.
The battle is about to break out.
