Seeing Chu Taiyuan's face full of sadness, Song Minghui comforted him and said:
"We might as well take a look at the scale of the locust plague first. If it's really difficult, we can then unite various parties to eliminate the locust plague. I believe they will be willing to help and won't just sit idly by."
"That's all it can do."
Chu Taiyuan nodded, not looking down on Song Minghui because he was a disciple of Qingshan Sect and not an elder.
Yuan Lang's friendly attitude towards Lu Zhiwei and taking the initiative to say hello also made Chu Taiyuan guess that Yuan Lang and Lu Zhiwei should have a close friendship.
The sect is backed by Xu Qingshan, who is in the crystallization stage. Yuan Lang's reputation and status in the sect are not low, not inferior to Chu Taiyuan.
Before Chu Taiyuan could speak, Yuan Lang spoke slowly.
"I heard that there are several insect kings in the insect swarm who are at the sixth or seventh level of Qi training. I am not worried about dealing with these insect kings. The most troublesome thing is that this insect swarm is huge and numerous. With our manpower, once I’m afraid I’ll be in a hurry if I start using my hands.”
"Yes, I am also thinking about this issue. To completely eliminate this locust plague, we will inevitably have to spend a lot of effort."
Lu Hongniang said.
Everyone talked for a while, and then the people from Chaotian Sect came.
The team was led by a middle-aged female cultivator named Sun Jinxiu who was at the ninth level of Qi training.
Chaotian Sect was actually the first to take action to eliminate the locust plague this time, and had fought against locust swarms in Pingyuan County.
This time I came to chase the locust swarm.
The locust swarm devoured hundreds of acres of fertile farmland in Pingyuan County. Such actions have angered the Chaotian Sect.
The three parties met in Zhurong County and became familiar with each other.
The three teams were all led by three monks who were in the late stages of Qi training, and no foundation-building monks were sent.
The sudden appearance of the locust swarm this time put all forces on alert. Worried that someone was behind the scenes, they strengthened the defense of the base camp and did not dare to send high-level combat forces away at will.
The Chaotian Sect has already dealt with the locust swarm in Pingyuan County and figured out the strength of this swarm. There is no need to send foundation-building monks to take action. The late-stage Qi-training monks can be enough to deal with it.
The only problem is that there are too many locust swarms and it is too difficult to eliminate.
On the next morning, everyone welcomed the first wave of locusts.
This group of locusts came from Pingyuan County, rushed through forests, lakes and other areas, and went straight to Zhurong County.
Everyone looked at it from a distance and frowned.
There were so many locusts that they gathered together like a huge black mountain, covering a large area of shadow.
The sunlight was blocked, and it was pitch black below the locusts, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
As they moved at high speed, there was a buzzing sound of wings, much like thousands of flies flying around your ears.
"There must be too many locusts. I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 locusts."
Seeing the locusts crossing the border and attacking Zhurong County, Song Minghui's expression changed and she felt a little troubled.
As the locusts approached, with the help of the monk's eyesight, they could see the actual appearance of these locusts.
These locusts are very huge individually, reaching the size of poultry. They are not like the small individuals of ordinary locusts at all.
Among them, the slightly larger one is even half the size of a human, which is about the same size as the Insect King Mantis that was once born in the Qingshan Sect's spiritual field.
Not to mention terrifying in size, numerous in number, and densely packed like a swarm of missiles, the teeth of this group of locusts are also quite powerful.
Their mouthparts are very flexible and sharp, and can easily bite through the fur of cattle. Their habits are extremely fierce, they are not picky about food at all, and they are quite bloodthirsty.
Lu Zhiwei witnessed with her own eyes that a wild boar that was frightened out of the forest appeared in front of the locust swarm and was quickly enveloped by the locust swarm.
Thousands of locusts opened their sharp mouths and devoured the wild boar in an instant, not even sparing the bones.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed it. A wild boar would die in the mouth of a swarm of locusts.
Imagine if this swarm of locusts rushed into Zhurong County and spread to densely populated areas, what would be the consequences?
Unthinkable!
Even wild boars have no power to resist, let alone ordinary people, the old, weak, women and children.
"This swarm of locusts is ferocious and bloodthirsty and extremely barbaric. Wherever they pass by, they will immediately become barren of vegetation. Whether they are flowers, plants, trees, poultry or beasts, they will become their food and they will rob them all."
Sun Jinxiu said, no wonder the locust swarms were not wiped out in Pingyuan County. Just a swarm of locusts made her feel troubled.
If other remaining locust swarms also swarm in at this time, how can Zhurong County be defended?
"Don't wait any longer, take action now and try to annihilate this group of locusts before they enter the border of Zhurong County!"
Chu Taiyuan opened his mouth and said, he had already sacrificed his magical weapon and was preparing to take action with his disciples.
Zhurong County is the sheltered town of Shenxiao Palace, and most of the mortals in the city are the blood of the disciples of Shenxiao Palace.
Once Zhurong County falls and is swallowed up by locusts, this will damage the foundation of Shenxiao Palace.
"What Fellow Daoist Chu said is reasonable, we should take action as soon as possible."
Sun Jinxiu agreed and immediately called his disciples to prepare: "Don't delay any longer!"
"good."
Lu Zhiwei was not good at words and just nodded.
Song Minghui, Lin Han and others around them followed Lu Zhiwei's footsteps and used wind control skills to face the locusts.
The three forces, totaling more than a hundred people, formed a fan-shaped formation and faced the locust swarm.
Lu Zhiwei took the lead and used the Zhaoyun Sword to attack the locust swarm and cut away the leading locust with one strike.
After the locust was beheaded, the body was snatched and devoured by the following locusts before it hit the ground, and was eaten clean immediately.
These locusts will devour their dead companions without wasting any flesh and blood.
Everyone took action one after another, using their magical powers.
People as strong as Lu Zhiwei, Chu Taiyuan, Sun Jinxiu, etc. all use flying swords, magic weapons, and treasure plates to kill and kill a large number of locusts in one move.
A large number of locust corpses fell like raindrops. Some of them were eaten by other locusts first, and most of them fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Among the remaining Zhang Nianchuan and other disciples, some used their flying swords to kill locusts, and many more used crazy attacks such as fireballs, explosions, and fire talismans.
In an instant, the number of locust swarms decreased rapidly. About 10% of the locust swarms were quickly wiped out, and nearly 10,000 locusts were killed.
These locust corpses fell on the ground and have piled up into hills. The corpses were scattered everywhere, looking very ferocious.
Although everyone's performance was good, they killed so many locusts.
But the number of locusts in this group is extremely large, reaching as many as one hundred thousand. They buzz as they flap their wings and are so densely packed that they look like a sandstorm, making people want to retreat.
As soon as the locusts at the front were wiped out, more locusts rushed up from behind, fearless and continuing to charge towards Zhurong County, seemingly endless and tireless.
Even though everyone has achieved great results, each attack can kill a large number of locusts.
But every time they saw the black clouds of locust swarms pressing down on the territory, everyone could only retreat and dodge despite fighting, unable to stop the locust swarms from pressing down on the territory.
Even if you are not careful, you will be swept away by the locust swarm and trapped in the dark clouds. Then you will be in trouble and you may not be able to come out alive.
