After the poison powder was refined, Ye Ming did not intend to use it to deal with locusts.
It is true that if this substance is used in large quantities, it can indeed directly kill locusts in their egg state, making them unable to cause actual harm.
But again, this poisonous powder is too potent and will directly damage the land, causing no vegetation to grow in the area where it was sprinkled for several years.
In other words, if this thing is used in large quantities, the harm caused will be greater than the locust plague.
After learning the lesson from the previous "cancer", Ye Ming immediately put away all the poisonous powders without intending to use them. He chose to continue refining the powder that could catalyze locusts.
After several more failures, he finally succeeded in making a medicinal powder.
After trying to catch a few locusts and sprinkle them on the locusts, I found that for adult locusts, this is just ordinary food.
When sprinkled on insect eggs or larvae, they will grow rapidly.
When Green Yi saw this, his eyes lit up and he said:
"Is this a success?"
"That's natural. If I take action myself, how can it be unsuccessful?"
Ye Ming said with some complacency, without stopping, he chose to refine a large amount of this medicinal powder.
After refining tens of thousands of kilograms, he stopped.
So, the amount should be enough.
After everything was settled here, he and the two women patrolled the expected waterway path again, and after clearing out the tricks secretly arranged by the other party in the past two days, they returned to Yanhua Mansion.
During this period, when we passed Heling Mountain again, we found that the attitude of the local people had changed drastically, and instead they welcomed Bai Yao and others.
Apparently, having the Yin Soldiers act out worked well.
Bai Yao is also conducting surveys.
According to his observation, the terrain of Heling Mountain is very conducive to digging waterways.
It only needs to dig through a few places and deepen and widen the original mountain stream channels. The overall damage to Heling Mountain will not be great.
On the contrary, if the waterway is completed, it will also be a great thing for the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Things that everyone is happy with will naturally be much easier to handle.
After instructing the Yin soldiers on duty here to protect Bai Yao, the three returned to Yanhua Mansion.
After they left, in a mountain forest in Pingxing Mansion, the three monsters Chou Lin, Leopard, and Weasel got together again.
"Depending on the situation, the other party should have guessed our plan, and then used targeted sabotage methods.
Alas~~The opponent is really cunning, he can guess all this. "
Weasel attributed the failure of his methods in the past few days to the cleverness of his opponents.
Hearing what he said, Golden Leopard nodded repeatedly, indicating that it was because his opponent was cunning!
Chou Lin just wanted to laugh when he saw these two guys still pretending to be here.
Laughter is still a smile, and there is still no lack of cooperation. It also means that they have tried their best, but their opponents are too alert, so the method does not work.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a locust flying towards me and transformed into a human form in the blink of an eye. It was the great locust demon.
When the three demons saw this man appearing, they hurried to pay their respects.
After the great locust demon glanced at the three demons, he said:
"You have done a good job in attracting each other's attention these days. What I want to do has been completed."
When the three demons heard this, they were all a little surprised:
"But, sir, our arrangements have been discovered!"
"I don't expect you to succeed. I just need to attract the other person's attention. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Golden Leopard asked: "Sir, what is your plan?"
The Great Locust Demon glanced at him and said coldly:
"You don't need to know my plan, you just need to act according to my arrangements."
When the three demons heard this, they were a little frightened by him and did not dare to ask about it again.
Weasel said again: "Then, sir, what do you need us to do next?"
"Well, it sounds like I need you right now."
The great locust demon looked at the weasel,
"You like to eat poultry like chickens, ducks and geese, right?"
"Of course, chickens, ducks and geese are all delicious food. How could I not like them?"
"Very good. According to my secret observation, I found that Yanhua Prefecture bought 30,000 ducks in Pingxing Prefecture and is preparing to transport these ducks back.
Obviously this is used to deal with me.
Your next task is to stop these ducks and don't ruin my business. "
After hearing this, the three demons agreed repeatedly, saying that they would do their best to do it.
After arranging the tasks for the three demons, the Great Locust Demon did not stay for a moment and turned around to leave.
Seeing him leaving, the three demons looked at each other and said they were going to make some preparations and then go deal with the duck.
Saying this, they separated.
This time, Chou Lin ran to Heling Mountain first and hid.
After a while, I saw a leopard sneaking here.
Carve words on the stone, leave the evil spirit behind, and then throw it in a place where the Yin soldiers can easily find it.
Then, he left with peace of mind.
After the leopard left, Chou Lin immediately went to destroy the leopard's stone and hid again.
Soon, the weasel also arrived here, doing the same thing as the leopard.
After Chou Lin left, he was also destroyed, leaving only his own stone in the end.
After doing this, go back again and meet up with the other two demons.
The three demons who met again looked like they were ready.
After getting together to discuss for a while, they decided to attack the ducks being transported from three directions: north, west and south.
In this way, it must be easy to destroy the opponent's duck movement.
After Chou Lin came to the north, he approached the duck group for a certain distance, stopped moving forward, and instead cast a spell to injure himself.
After injuring himself, he acted like he was running away in embarrassment and ran a long way away.
After reviewing his acting skills again and again, he returned to the meeting place agreed in advance with confidence.
As a result, not long after arriving at the place, I found that the leopard and weasel demons also came back in a state of embarrassment with injuries.
After the three demons looked at each other, there was a moment of silence in the air.
After a while, the weasel clapped his hands and said:
"Hey~~I never expected that the other party had already expected that we would cause sabotage and set up an ambush in advance.
I barely escaped, but I really couldn't complete the mission! "
Hearing this, Golden Leopard also said:
"Yes, the other party is very cunning, and the many ambush is really scary."
Chou Lin also agreed.
In this way, the three demons have become wounded and naturally cannot continue to work.
Half a day later, the three demons who were resting saw a locust flying towards them. Before they could speak, the locust turned into a large migratory locust demon.
This time, this person said with obvious dissatisfaction:
"What's going on with the three of you? They're just a bunch of ducks, and you can't even deal with them. You let them go all the way without any hindrance, and they're almost reaching Yanhua Mansion!"
Faced with this question, the three demons repeatedly said that it was not because they were unsatisfied, but because the enemy was too cunning.
Seeing that these three people were all injured, the Great Locust Demon couldn't say anything else besides scolding them as useless and incompetent.
After being scolded, Weasel's eyes moved and he said:
"Sir, you see, we can't do this. If it doesn't work, you can personally..."
The Locust Demon heard this and glared at him dissatisfied.
Although he is a great demon, he still has an unspeakable fear towards things like chickens, ducks and geese.
Moreover, the troll was carelessly ambushed before, so he didn't want to act rashly and fall into the opponent's trap.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"That's all, you three are incompetent, so I'll have to find someone who is capable to help."
"Someone capable? Who?"
The three demons were all confused, wondering who he was talking about.
"You don't need to know, I'm just here to recuperate."
"Sir, although we are injured and have little fighting ability, it is still okay to hire someone to help you run the errands."
The weasel said so.
"No, the person I want to invite can only be invited by me in person. It's useless for you to go."
The Great Locust Demon said and left here directly.
After they left, the three demons looked at each other again, all indicating that they wanted to find a quiet place to cultivate and heal.
...
In the City God's Office, Ye Ming looked at the new news and said slowly:
"This locust has also arranged a secret method, what kind of method could it be?
I asked for help again, but I don’t know what I asked for this time. "
Caiwei on the side said:
"The Locust Demon's methods must revolve around waterways.
It may be hidden and difficult to find.
But no matter what, as long as construction starts there, the other side's methods will inevitably be launched.
In this way, there will be flaws to be found. "
"That's true. Let's take advantage of these few days to help Lu Yi refining the Yunqing sword."
Just do it and start refining the treasure for Lu Yi right away.
Since it is just strengthening the original foundation, there is no need to waste too much time. A few days are enough.
But sometimes, things are unexpected.
In the past few days when Ye Ming was refining treasures, the survey on Heling Mountain had been completed.
Bai Yao had already arranged for people to start formal construction. Not long after Fang started the construction, he encountered a big problem.
Suddenly an "earth dragon" appeared underground and was destroying their construction.
The so-called "earth dragon" is a long-horned earthworm that is as thick as a bucket and five feet long.
This earth dragon is very cunning. It avoids direct confrontation with others and avoids people to attack some construction facilities or destroy newly repaired waterways. It is very difficult to deal with.
The Yin soldiers who were patrolling here saw this and took action to arrest this officer.
However, this monster won't fight you at all. As long as someone comes, it will directly escape into the soil, making it completely impossible to catch.
Bai Yao and others tried very hard but failed to catch this "earth dragon".
Later, he decided to set up a trap and kill this "earth dragon".
Everyone deliberately set aside a place for monsters to destroy.
While it was being destroyed, he suddenly lowered the big guillotine prepared above.
With one slash, the monster was cut into two pieces.
Many people cheered loudly when they saw this.
I think this will get rid of this harmful thing.
Who would have thought that after the "Earth Dragon" was broken into two parts, both parts of its body could actually move.
Not only does it move, but the tail regrows from the front half of the body, and the head regrows from the back half of the body.
After a while, it turned into two shorter "earth dragons".
Everyone was greatly surprised when they saw this.
The "earth dragon" who had suffered a loss became more cautious and would not be fooled by the trap again.
After splitting into two, the damage caused was much greater.
The Yin soldiers who saw this secretly were helpless.
This thing is too slippery and cannot be locked with chains or the like, so I can only watch it slip away again and again.
In desperation, he had no choice but to report the matter back to Chenghuangsi.
But at this time, Ye Ming was helping Lu Yi recast the Yunqing sword, and he couldn't get away for the time being.
After receiving the news, Caiwei suspected that this was the method prepared by the great migratory locust demon.
Obviously, this method of destruction is indeed very useful and much more reliable than those three monsters.
Luyi wanted to solve the problem alone, but was stopped by Caiwei.
He said that no matter what, he could not leave Ye Ming's side.
In fact, Lu Yi was not stupid. She had already guessed that there might be something threatening them, so the young lady chose not to let herself move around.
She could ignore her own safety, but she didn't want anything to happen to the young lady, so she had to give up.
After Caiwei thought about it for a while, she decided to send a message to Mr. Zhu Linsan, asking him to take some time to deal with the matter at Heling Mountain.
However, the messenger reported that several gentlemen in Zhulin were paying close attention to the activities of the Wuyin Sect and refuted the immortality promoted by the other party, and could not get away.
This made Caiwei a little helpless.
Fortunately, after Taoist Master Chongzhun heard about this, he expressed his willingness to go and take a look for himself.
Seeing that Taoist Jing'an was not around, Caiwei couldn't help but ask.
Taoist Chongzhun did not realize that the other party was actually doubting his ability. He just said that Taoist Jing'an was preparing a secret method to fight against the drought demon and was not with him.
Afterwards, the passionate Taoist Chongzhun went straight to Heling Mountain, intending to slay the demons and defend the Tao.
Caiwei respects this person's warm-heartedness, but has strong doubts about whether he can succeed.
But thinking about the fact that the "earth dragon" doesn't fight directly with others, it seems that it can't be solved and there will be no danger.
In this way, we can only wait until Ye Ming's treasure refining is completed so that he can be free to deal with the matter thoroughly.
