After the seven herders each returned to the Observation Star, they did not immediately go to the pastoral area to check as they said to Tong Zuo. Instead, they stayed in the Observation Star and hesitated.
Because they are all afraid.
If he accidentally encounters that mysterious person and is killed, he will cry inside.
The safest place now is the Lookout Star, which has a large number of true gods.
Soon, the seven herders gathered information from each other through the communication crystal, intending to see what others did.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanzhu, after much thought, I still feel that it is too dangerous to head to the pastoral area to check. I wonder if Friend Xuanzhu has any good ideas."
"I thought I was the only one who had this idea, but I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Zhengquan's idea coincided with mine. But I don't have a better way for the time being, so I plan to stay in the Watching Star to think about it first."
"It's okay to think about it, but after all, I have an investigation mission. If I stay in the Star Watch all the time, I can't explain it to Master Tong Zuo!"
"What should I do?"
"How about we and seven other people gather together and explore the pastoral area together? Although it will take a lot of time, it will be much safer if we have each other to look after each other."
"It makes sense, I agree. Our Strange Stone Treasure Territory is located in the middle. Fellow Taoists, please come and gather at our Strange Stone Treasure Territory!"
"No, it's better to come to my Nine Rings Flying Domain."
"Come to my Landai realm!"
As a result, everyone disagreed on where to gather.
No one wants to leave Lookout Star easily, because leaving means danger.
And the biggest question is, after the seven people get together, whose property will be investigated first and whose property will be investigated last?
No one wants to be the last one to check their own pastoral area, because based on their understanding of their fellow herders, it is very likely that the herder will leave the team and run away after checking his own pastoral area.
Just when everyone was in a stalemate, Jun Yang from Ziyan Wide Area suddenly said: "I have a way to keep everyone from leaving the Watching Star and at the same time check the situation of the ranch."
Everyone fell silent, and then asked what they could do.
Jun Yang: "I have a spell that can temporarily add our innate ability 'True Eye of the Void' to the clone, giving the clone the ability to detect pastoral areas. I can teach you this spell, but it's really hard for me to obtain this spell. Hardship, which can be regarded as a narrow escape from death, is very precious to me, and I cannot give it to you in vain."
"How can you teach us that?"
"I want everyone to give me a magic stone."
The Divine Walking Stone contains a weak divinity, which is very precious to the Holy Spirit, because by studying the Divine Walking Stone, you can also have the opportunity to realize the divinity and transform into a god.
There was silence for a while, and everyone yelled.
"Junyang, you old guy, you're so shameless when you take advantage of others' danger."
"How can a mere spell be worth a God's Walking Stone? It's a waste of money."
"Even if I go on an adventure, I won't be able to exchange for the magic stone."
Jun Yang: "Of course, this is just the price I offered. You can accept it or not. As a reminder, there is a high probability that the pastoral area will not be inspected only once. In the next more than a thousand years, I may need to wait for inspections from time to time. The dangers faced are self-evident.
And as long as you learn this spell of mine, you will forever master the method of giving the clone the true eye of the void, and you will no longer have to take risks with your true body. That’s it for now, it’s up to you to weigh whether you want to change it or not. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. "
Everyone thought for a long time before gritting their teeth and making the decision.
After they quietly returned to Chiyang Palace to complete the exchange, they immediately returned to Watching Star to practice.
It was not until a month later that the herders basically mastered this spell and sent clones to investigate the pastoral areas.
The clone came outside the pastoral area and opened the True Eye of the Void to check the situation of the ephemerals.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they found that everything was normal and no disease bugs were found.
After withdrawing their clones, they sent messages to Tong Zuo one after another.
"Sir Tongzuo, everything is normal in the Nine Rings Flying Territory, and no diseases or bugs have been found."
"Master Tong Zuo, everything is normal in the Strange Stone Treasure Territory, and no diseases or bugs have been found."
…
Most herders take a quick look outside the pastoral area to make sure the insects are fine and then leave.
Only Junyang from the Ziyan Wide Area was different. After checking the status of the insects, he also sent a clone into the pastoral area to check.
In fact, he didn't think much about it, he just did it casually.
Junyang's clone entered the pastoral area and suddenly showed a surprised look: "There is a strange smell here, let me go and investigate."
Soon he found out the owner of the aura: "I don't know what it is. It turns out to be an insect."
Every pastoral area will have some Zergs accidentally born, this is normal.
After casually killing the traveler, he continued to wander around.
Not long after, he was suddenly startled again: "Hey, there are also zerg here? I can encounter such a small number of zerg."
…
At this time, Tong Zuo was wandering around the Longting area, looking for various clues.
After getting the news from others, I immediately felt relieved and concentrated on searching in the Longting complex area.
It’s just that he wandered around for a long time, but didn’t gain much. After thinking about it, he thought to himself: “There is something abnormal about the Void Spirit in the Dragon Court Complex. If you ask the Void Spirit about it, you might gain something.”
After making the decision, he spread out his mental power and quickly locked onto an upgraded human-orc void spirit. He took one step forward and appeared directly in front of the void spirit.
The void spirit of the human orc clan who was practicing suddenly woke up. Looking at the white-bearded middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Juhua couldn't help but tensed up and quickly stepped back to distance himself.
"You...who are you?"
He could feel the extremely terrifying aura on Tong Zuo.
Tong Zuo stretched out his hand to grab, and immediately restrained the human orc, pulled him in front of him, and said calmly: "You don't need to know who I am. I have some questions to ask you. Just answer me honestly."
The humans and beasts froze, their faces full of fear but they didn't dare to move, they just nodded frequently.
Children's work: "Nearly two thousand worlds of flies in the Dragon Court complex were destroyed. Do you know who did it?"
The human orc tribe was stunned: "Wha... what? Nearly two thousand worlds of flies were destroyed? I don't know this. I have been hiding here to practice in recent years and rarely go out. I don't know what is happening outside."
Seeing that he didn't know, Tong Zuo asked again: "I saw that most of the void spirits in the entire Dragon Court area are hiding and do not dare to wander out. It is different from other areas. Why is this?"
The human orcs were surprised that Tong Zuo didn't even know this, but they didn't dare not answer: "It's the group of bugs who call themselves Travelers who hunt the Void Spirits everywhere and almost kill all the low-level and unintelligent Void Spirits. We are not them. The opponent can only hide."
Tong Zuo raised his eyebrows: "Zerg, why didn't I find any Zerg?"
His perception is so powerful that he can find the zerg wherever it hides.
But he searched all over the Dragon Court area and didn't see any insects.
The human orcs said in shock: "You didn't see the zerg? There are them everywhere outside. As long as you dare to go out for a walk for two days, a bunch of zerg will definitely come around and shout to kill. How can there be no zerg?"
Suddenly he suddenly realized: "Oh, by the way, those insects have learned the art of hiding spirits. If you don't get closer, you won't be able to sense the spirit liquid breath on their bodies, so you need to sense them more carefully."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Tong Zuo immediately noticed the problem, put down the human and beast clan, and said calmly: "I come from other places, and I don't know much about the Longting Miscellaneous Domain. Please tell me everything you know." Tell me all one by one. Tell me what happened to the zerg in your mouth."
From other regions?
The humans and beasts understand.
If this is the case, it wouldn’t be surprising if we didn’t know.
He nodded: "It's a long story. It's not easy to explain this matter clearly. It may take some time."
Tong Zuo: "Don't be in a hurry, just take your time."
The human orcs recalled all the unbelievable things that happened at the time, organized their words a little, and said slowly: "The Longting Domain more than a hundred years ago was not what it is now, but after several things happened more than a hundred years ago, everything changed. Everything has changed, and we Void Spirits have also faced a terrible disaster since then.
All of this has to start with an insect that suddenly appeared, this insect is called Zhuang Hong..."
