fo, the fastest update of the goddess’s wealthy son-in-law (also known as: the goddess’s super son-in-law, protagonist: Zhao Xu)!
Zhao Xu led everyone to start picking up hay.
The underworld beetles at the foot of the mountain began to swarm up the mountain in large numbers.
With the joint efforts of Xu Sheng and Xu Zhi, a deep trench was dug in time.
Zhao Xu and others threw all the grass and dead branches they picked up into the deep ditch, and lit the dead branches and dead grass in the ditch section by section.
Soon the fire started, and the raging fire burned, lighting up the entire night sky.
Zhao Xu said to everyone: "These dead branches will be burned out soon, and we have to get some thicker branches."
Everyone followed Zhao Xu, each armed with a weapon, to get some thick branches and put them on the burning fire.
The raging fire was billowing with thick smoke, which was dispersed downwards by the wind.
Those dark beetles were quickly retreated down the mountain by the smoke.
Fortunately, the wind direction never changed, and the billowing smoke finally made the Underworld Beetle dare not move forward.
Zhao Xu had never seen these weird bugs before and asked Hua Yi beside him: "Sister Hua, what kind of bug is the underworld beetle?"
Hua Yi explained to Zhao Xu: "This kind of bug is actually introduced from abroad and is called scarab."
"When they arrived in our country, they were renamed underworld beetles. According to legend, underworld beetles are the guardian insects of hell. Where there are underworld beetles, the yin energy is very strong. It seems that many people have died here in Baiping Valley. These insects are here. So many people are worried. This kind of insect has a very strong reproductive ability, and I believe it will spread to other places soon."
Zhao Xu frowned and asked, "Isn't there any way to completely eliminate them?"
"Unless we use insecticides to completely disinfect the area within a few miles, we can eliminate the pest infestation."
Zhao Xu sighed.
With the current situation, he simply cannot completely eliminate these underworld beetles.
Hua Yi said: "Since there are underworld beetles here, I believe there will be other creatures from hell. Therefore, we have to be more vigilant."
The thick smoke continued for more than two hours, and Zhao Xu crossed the thick smoke area alone and headed down the mountain.
Seeing that all the underworld beetles had disappeared, he made a safety gesture to everyone.
Xu Lingzhu and others just came down the slope.
Fortunately, Zhao Xu and others sealed the supplies in advance. Therefore, the supplies are still there and have not been affected.
At this time, the woman's cry echoed in everyone's ears again.
Zhao Xu and others' expressions changed greatly.
Hua Yi said: "Could it be that woman who brought these underworld beetles?"
Zhao Xu replied: "It's very possible!"
There were so many underworld beetles coming all at once, and things were a bit intriguing.
Xu Lingzhu immediately took out the piccolo from his arms and played the "Heart Purifying Mantra!"
Under Xu Lingzhu's playing, everyone's mood gradually improved. It's like the haze of dark clouds has been lifted away, and the sunshine can be seen again.
At this time, there was a fishy smell in the air.
Zhao Xu is very familiar with this kind of smell.
He reminded everyone: "There is a snake!"
Everyone immediately looked around and saw countless snakes crawling nearby. It's so densely packed that it makes people's scalp numb.
Zhao Xu immediately ordered: "Let's continue to retreat to the hillside and use smoke to force these snakes back."
Under the leadership of Zhao Xu, everyone returned to the hillside again.
Fortunately, the fire was not extinguished, so Zhao Xu and others added more firewood to the fire.
Soon, the thick smoke on the hillside gradually grew larger.
The snakes that crawled up the hillside were driven away by the blowing smoke.
With sharp eyes, Zhao Xu spotted a huge figure flashing past from below.
"There really is a big snake!" Zhao Xu exclaimed.
When Feng An heard that the big snake appeared, his face changed with fright.
Fortunately, the big snake did not attack them directly and quickly slipped away.
Obviously, the group of snakes were summoned by this big snake.
After the big snake left, all the little snakes disappeared.
This night made everyone exhausted.
It was nearly four o'clock in the morning and it finally stopped.
When Zhao Xu saw that the direction had changed, he did not put out the fire and led everyone back to the camping tent.
After checking carefully, I was afraid that there were still some dark beetles in the tent.
Xu Zhi suddenly screamed.
Zhao Xu and others immediately rushed to Xu Zhi's side.
Xu Zhi pointed to the location where the materials were sealed and exclaimed: "The materials we sealed are missing."
Zhao Xu and others were shocked.
Before reaching Linhua Pond, the materials they carried were gone. This is dangerous information for everyone.
Zhao Xu told everyone: "Everyone, look around!"
Everyone immediately dispersed and searched the nearby area carefully.
After searching for more than half an hour, the missing supplies were not found.
After everyone got together again, Zhao Xu asked, "Do you have anything to eat or drink with you?"
Xu Zhi replied: "I still have some water on me."
Xu Sheng replied: "I still have some bread and sausages here."
The others all shook their heads, indicating that they didn't have it.
Zhao Xu checked the remaining water and bread.
There is only enough bread for them to eat for one meal, and the water is better, so they should be able to hold on for another two days.
Zhao Xu frowned and said, "The people who dealt with us secretly were very cunning. They actually stole our supplies while we were on the mountain."
Xu Lingzhu said: "There are wild vegetables and animals on the mountain, so we should not starve to death. The water can still last for two days. After we find the water source, we can fill it with more water and we should be able to survive."
Zhao Xu said "Yeah!" and nodded.
He said to everyone: "It's getting late, let's take the time to rest! We will continue on our way at dawn."
Zhao Xu ordered Yin Kun to continue to keep vigil, and the others got into the camp and began to rest.
Since there was only one meal of bread left. Therefore, after dawn, no one ate.
I want to save the remaining bread for critical moments.
In order to save physical strength, I rushed to Linhua Pond as soon as possible.
After Zhao Xu and others got up, they began to pack up their tents and continue on their way.
Except for Feng'an, everyone else is a martial arts practitioner. So, skipping a meal or two is no problem at all. But because of the long journey, Feng An's stomach growled with hunger.
Zhao Xu asked Xu Sheng to give Feng An a piece of bread.
At this time, Xu Lingzhu discovered a wild boar.
Pointing to the wild boar not far away, he said to Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, there is a wild boar!"
Zhao Xu took a look and saw that the wild boar was not small.
He yelled, "Catch it!"
After saying that, he quickly headed towards the wild boar.
Xu Lingzhu, Xu Sheng, and Xu Zhi followed closely behind, quickly outflanking the wild boar.
The wild boar heard the noise and was startled at first.
Escape quickly not far away.
Zhao Xu and the others were short of food now, so how could they let go of the delicious food they got.
Seeing Zhao Xu standing in front of him, the wild boar rushed towards Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu slashed at the charging wild boar with a sword.
A flash of blood flashed, and the boar's head was chopped off on the spot.
Zhao Xu said to Xu Lingzhu and the other two people who were coming over: "We are going to Linhua Pond soon. Let's replenish some strength before going there!"
