While Xiao Zi was digging for artifacts from the dwarf kingdom, Yuan Benchu ??had already further tried to use the function of the undead skeleton staff in the Taoyuan space.
"You guys lick the soles of my shoes!" Yuan Benchu ??said to the six human-like puppets. At this time, their clothes were in ragged clothes. Instead of their previous arrogant and domineering expressions, their faces were expressionless. Only when Yuan Benchu ??gave instructions would they behave in the same way. No different from ordinary people.
The six scumbags didn't hesitate at all. They took turns to clean Yuan Benchu's soil-stained soles. Yuan Benchu's soles just stepped on a pile of dog feces, which was an advantage to these guys, and they showed expressions of enjoyment. It was really It's surprising.
"I didn't expect that the holy water could have such an effect. It actually transformed the dull puppets into humans with certain thinking. Judging from their thinking and logic, they basically restored their previous IQ." Yuan Benchu ??also checked everyone's intelligence before that. There was nothing special about the organs. They seemed to have been reborn, which made Yuan Benchu ??feel incredible.
A big event happened in the Taoyuan space. There will be pests in every plane that harm hardworking people. As a result, modern society will suffer huge losses. But the pests here are even more terrifying and make people tremble. There is no room for turning around at all. And Amy's team, the Wukong Special Forces Team, who had penetrated deep into the vicinity of Yuan Benchu's barrier, and its leader Amy was eradicating pests.
There is a proverb among the common people of the Faljord Human Federation Empire: "The north eats rye, the south eats yellow millet."
??Bounded by the St. Petersburg Mountains, yellow millet is mostly eaten in the south. Rye cannot survive in the local climate conditions. On the contrary, yellow millet can adapt to the humid and rainy weather in the south.
October in the golden autumn is the harvest season for yellow millet. The original yellow millet samples in Taoyuan Space have not been cultivated and the original ecological seeds have led to a low yield. Planting yellow millet alone cannot meet the life pursuits of a family of four farmers.
The landform features of mountains, forests and grasslands attract a large number of rare beasts. In addition to planting and harvesting yellow millet, farmers spend most of their time hunting nearby to supplement their household income.
Game and yellow millet, added together, will prevent you from starving and freezing before winter comes.
In the southern province, small human villages living in the mountains and fields are scattered in various places, without forming large clusters.
When encountering a disaster, it is difficult to find outside help, so you can only admit that you are unlucky.
Amy and others passed through the ape tribe in the St. Petersburg Mountains and headed south. They passed through yellow millet fields and saw insects sweeping across the mountains and plains.
Farmers were unable to harvest at all, and the ears of millet were wiped out by insects as they passed through.
A year¡¯s hard work has gone to naught! '
Insect plague! Farmers from other worlds also have this experience. It must be said that insects are always the natural enemies of mankind!
"Hey, the yellow millet that is harvested once a year is gone like this. The praying mantis family is really inhumane!" Anthony said with emotion. He had traveled to the southern provinces and seemed to know the origin of the insects that ate the farmers' yellow millet.
"Isn't it the same as the last time when mammoths plundered white wheat?" Aaron couldn't help but look at Gavin, making him tremble.
Mammoth has now changed his ways and become Gavin's mount. He does not want to turn Mammoth into a public enemy.
He quickly retreated and faded out of everyone¡¯s sight.
"The difference is that the mantis launches a large-scale raid on yellow millet in the southern provinces every year, causing huge losses to local farmers and causing civilians to suffer from hunger. However, the mammoth is an isolated phenomenon and will not cause suffering to the civilians on one side." Andrew continued, rather cynically.
The crossing of mantises will not only cause confusion to local farmers, but also leave the trees along the way completely bare.
The organized mantises are not only astonishingly powerful, they sometimes harass local villages and prey on livestock!
With purpose, in groups, with premeditation, choose the corresponding area every time
All actions show that the mantis clan is wise!
With a clear division of labor and impressive fighting power, the farmers were their opponents and fled away, leaving behind a whole patch of yellow millet in the hope that these plague gods could eat enough and leave immediately.
The mantises in the other world are not like the slender little mantises that Yuan Benchu ??often saw in his previous life. The mantises in this plane are generally about the size of a human baby.
They are divided into three categories: Engineers, Logistics Soldiers, and Mother Emperors. Engineers have attack methods and have two pairs of sharp blades that can easily cut yellow millet ears and have a certain degree of aggression.
The logistics soldiers are responsible for transporting trophies, and their wings are relatively strong.
The face of the Queen Mother has never been seen by humans until now!
This is a Zerg empire!
"Could it be that NanAre all the powerful people in the province useless? "Amy looked at the clear sky being obscured by the mantis, causing the dark ground, and was slightly dissatisfied.
It stands to reason that human beings should have many ways to deal with these brainless Zerg?
Why do you ignore it and allow the praying mantis to cause a disaster?
Regarding this situation, Noah has the right to speak. The elves hate the mantis no less than humans.
"The mantis clan has a very strong survivability. Even if these engineers and logistics soldiers are eliminated, the mantis swarm cannot be completely eradicated. As long as the mother queen does not die, thousands of mantis swarms can still reproduce in a short period of time." The elves said. They regard nature as their own mother, but the mantis harms their mother, so how can they not be filled with resentment.
But to eliminate the praying mantises, you need to find the location of the queen mother. How many mantis engineers will be guarding the queen mother protected by the mantis group in a region?
The strong are not omnipotent. As long as they do not harm their own interests, ordinary strong people are powerless even if they have the will.
How many gathering places for mantis groups are there in the southern province? Can it be eliminated?
Just let the mantis gallop in the sky without any scruples?
Amy didn¡¯t know before that it was okay to do nothing, but now she has seen with her own eyes the profound disaster caused by the crossing of the praying mantis.
As a righteous person, Amy cannot escape the blame because he wants to ensure the safety of one party!
He has transformed into a smooth person who considers his own interests in everything. He still has his own principles in his heart.
We don¡¯t want to see local farmers suffer from the plague of mantises again.
Without a harvest, they will starve to death sooner or later! Are we going to watch tens of millions of civilians starve to death and ignore it?
He can¡¯t do it! Amy is not so hard-hearted yet.
Maybe a few years later, when he is thinking about life, he will think that his thoughts at this time are very naive and ridiculous, but today, Yuan Xin is popular!
The Mantis clan¡¯s strategy of leaving no one behind immediately ignited his deep hatred.
You can¡¯t be a bug without leaving any room!
The mantises that flew above Amy and others did not attack the Moloch private soldiers. Their order was to sweep across the yellow millet fields, and they had no intention of fighting.
By visual inspection, there are at least 100,000 mantises coming this time, maybe this is still a small number.
A large number of praying mantises may be stationed in the nest, guarding the mother queen!
The brazen mantis is the veritable overlord of this area. Every year at the beginning of winter, it will conduct a large-scale sweep to prepare for hibernation.
Unlike modern mantises, which have a shorter lifespan, the mantis family has a strong body, just like ordinary beasts.
It has a lifespan of at least a few years, and the powerful mantis has a lifespan of nearly ten years.
The Queen Mother¡¯s life is endless as long as her energy is not exhausted.
Insects can survive strongly in any plane, adapt to the local growth environment, and evolve corresponding evolutionary weapons.
"Brother Beru, you find a place to stay and help the local civilians. I plan to find the Mother Queen and completely eliminate this major disaster in the area." As soon as Amy finished speaking, objections came one after another.
The unanimous opposition shows that no one is optimistic that Amy can return safely.
As the leader, Amy¡¯s behavior is really hard to compliment.
"I have made up my mind. You don't have to worry. Even if I can't kill the Queen Mother, I will come back safely. You still don't believe in my ability to escape?" Amy reassured everyone. After all, as the boss of this team, her own safety is not only at risk. Be it an individual or the entire team.
Since Amy has said this, everyone is speechless to refute. They also hate Mantis deeply. I hope Amy can return triumphantly!
The location of the Queen Mother is easy to find. Follow the mantis's retracing route to find the mantis' lair.
The biggest question is how to meet the Queen Mother under the hands of thousands of mantis engineers?
What is the strength of this Queen Mother?
Everything is unknown
The mantis logistics soldiers carried piles of yellow millet ears to their nests, just like bees returning in triumph after picking fresh nectar.
In essence, there is a huge difference. The behavior of the praying mantis harms the interests of mankind and is a pest that everyone can punish.
Bees provide a way for flower stamens to spread, benefiting themselves and others. The two seem to be the same, but they have completely opposite impacts on nature and humans.
Following the landlord of the mantis to cover the sky, turning over the mountains, Amy looked at the hills of the thumbs, not only surprised to lose color.??
He thought to himself: "Since the Mantis clan uses the entire mountain to build their nest, isn't it a big deal?"
There are countless honeycomb-shaped entrances and exits on the limestone mountain of about 100 meters, built by the Mantis clan. It is through these gaps that the Mantis logistics troops enter.
From the perspective of Amy¡¯s senses, the mountain has been transformed into an aircraft carrier by the mantis. The only drawback is that it cannot move.
"Otherwise, all parts of the continent will be left without a leaf. The mantises are omnivores, but they give priority to green foods. Livestock and humans will only attack when they have no choice.
As a result, the nearby human civilians will immediately run into the cellar when the mantis is hunting to avoid damaging the fish pond.
Human life is always more important than the things outside the body. The reason why the local people have not moved to other places is that mantises do not hunt in autumn every year.
It seems that for every hunting activity, the mantis family will store a large amount of supplies, waiting for the food in the nest to be exhausted, and then carry out another raid next year.
This time, nearly three years have passed since the last mantis disaster. The nearby farmers are like the livestock raised by the mantis family, fattened and then slaughtered.
Amy, who went deep into the tiger's den, stared at the mountain for a long time, made up her mind, and walked forward into the hollow mantis nest in the center.
Sunlight passes through the entrance of the honeycomb and spreads inside like thousands of laser lights, emitting dazzling brilliance.
Walking into the mountain, Amy had the illusion that she was standing on a stage that attracted everyone's attention. Any sound she made echoed through the mountain wall and was extremely clear.
"Is this an ordinary Zerg lair? It's more like a super opera house in a castle, right?" Amy secretly thought to herself. The hollow entrance allowed the sound to continuously rotate inside the mountain, forming the illusion of "circling the beam for three days" in later generations. .
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The nest-building skills of the mantis clan are comparable to those of master-level architects!
The winding mountain is divided into nine levels. To find the Queen Mother, it is only possible to reach the highest point.
There are mantis soldiers stationed on each floor, and it seems that the level of engineers on each floor is different.
As soon as he came in, dozens of mantis engineers the size of human children appeared.
Ordinary mantis engineers are equivalent to cannon fodder. Although there are dozens of them, they are not even looked at in front of Amy.
The golden cudgel was swung towards the sky, with a blow of three flavors of real fire, killing dozens of mantises instantly.
When the other party didn¡¯t respond, Amy jumped up and onto the spiral ladder.
Compared with the Mantis Engineers on the first layer, the second layer of defense is much stronger in all aspects. It is a bit larger and the detected name turns blue.
The elite mantises in the engineer sequence flapped their transparent wings at high frequency. Dozens of level 5 engineer mantises launched an attack on Yuan Xin. If they were held back here, hundreds of them would follow. Thousands of engineer mantises roared over.
By then it will be even more difficult for Yuan Xin to escape.
The Mantis clan has a strong sense of territoriality. Amy's entry into the mountain has obviously made Mantis hostile.
The reason why we were not attacked by the overwhelming mantises was simply that the large forces had left their nests and were looting everywhere.
The remaining combat units are still very few compared to the number of the Mantis clan.
The logistics and transport troops do not have combat qualities. They are already exhausted from flying back and forth, and they have no intention of caring about the sudden visit of a human being.
It¡¯s enough to hand it over to the Mantis engineers left behind. What would an ordinary human do when he arrives at the Mantis lair?
Insects are afraid of flames, and mantises are no exception, not to mention the purest three-flavored true fire among the fire elements in heaven and earth?
Amy didn¡¯t even think about using her skills. She directly used the Dou Qi master¡¯s fighting method. The Dou Qi was attached and released, converging into a range-wide flame slash.
"Three-stage slash of three-flavored true fire flames!" Amy waved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel at high speed and struck three times in less than 1 second!
Three three-flavored True Fire Flame Slashes with the energy of the Sun struck at the swooping engineer mantis one after another.
"Bang¡ª¡ª"
The close-range slashing attack made it impossible for the engineering mantis, which underestimated the enemy, to dodge, and its flight posture could not change so quickly.
No surprise, instant kill! The elite-level engineer mantis simply cannot survive a fire-based attack due to its numerical advantage.
When insects encounter the three flavors of true fire, they inherently lose their ability to attack.?Rhythm.
Like a moth to a flame, the mantis on the second level left behind could not resist even one of Amy's moves.
Amy spread her demon wings and soared into the sky. This climbing speed was too slow and not suitable for his style.
At this time, the flying mantis on the upper level began to intercept Amy's way.
This wave of praying mantises are as big as a calf, and their saw-toothed sickle hands shoot straight into the heart.
Amy has no doubt about the hardness of the sickle and it can break through steel.
Dozens of large flying mantises gathered in groups and charged in an arrow formation.
Countless saw-toothed scythes rushed over with sparks flying.
Amy, in the form of the Demon Baron, rushed over without hesitation! The golden hoop turned into thousands of stars.
"Ape stick method - point the star!" Use random sticks to kill the flying mantis, targeting the transparent wings of the mantis!
A single spark can start a prairie fire. As long as it touches the golden cudgel, the flammable cicada wings will emit explosive flames. The chain reaction caused this group of menacing flying mantises to lose their ability to fly and fall to the ground dead. .
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If the first echelon of people who blocked it failed, will the Mantis clan just give up?
What kind of powerful mantis guards will be on the nine-story spiral staircase? The trial guards at first were just cannon fodder.
The strong one always comes out last
Moloch temporarily stationed camp. In order to avoid the harassment of the mantis clan, Beru chose to build along the river, away from the yellow millet fields.
This season is relatively dry and the river bankline will not rise. Beru, who has rich experience in wild survival, will not make such a cheap mistake.
Seeing Amy gone and never coming back, everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Sitting together, discussing strategies.
As a staff officer, it is Andrew's duty to make plans. He said: "As you all know, Lord Viscount has a somewhat impulsive character, so I think we should send people to support Lord. After all, there will be many troops left to guard the Mantis clan's lair."
Andrew suggested that he send people to find Yuan Xin and come back. There was no need to exterminate the mantis clan. The southern provinces had been suffering from the mantis disaster for a long time and it was not something he could solve with his own strength.
Aaron is a conservative and firmly supports Amy. He retorted: "Most of the people present are core members who have followed Amy from life to death. In so many battles, when has Amy ever let everyone down? Don't forget your lives." Amy saved them all, I reserve my opinion."
Gavin is of course from the same faction as Aaron. He understands Yuan Xin¡¯s personality, will not change what he has decided, and will try his best to complete it.
Sending someone at this time will not solve anything, but will drag Amy down.
The conversation has reached a deadlock, and the only way to prove whether Amy is right or wrong is to go deep alone.
There is no absolute right or wrong in the world, only whether you are strong or not.
How will Viscount Amy solve this insect plague in the mantis lair? Yuan Benchu, who was still inside the barrier, was at a loss, but the character Amy would have a huge influence on him. Is she an enemy or a friend? I don't dare to draw any conclusions without having been exposed to this point, but one thing is certain, Amy will definitely meet Yuan Benchu.
And the so-called translated, three flavors are really hot? Are some keywords such as Wukong and the Golden Cudgel originally present in this plane?
Enjoying the feeling of six servants coming and going as soon as they are called, Yuan Benchu ??also equipped Xiaobai and Ah Huang with a servant dedicated to taking care of them.
In other words, Yuan Benchu ??has four servants who can do things like pour tea and water, rub feet and so on. In Taoyuan Space, I work alone. It feels good to have a few guys at my disposal.
I wonder if the insect plague will spread to the Taoyuan space barrier? Yuan Benchu, who was in high spirits, really felt something different. The transparent barrier had a giant mantis that blocked out the sky and the sun. All the lush trees outside had been eaten away, and only the barrier became an oasis in the desert.
"What the hell is this! It's not pleasant to be surrounded by a dark mass of mantis-like monsters, and you don't know when the mantises will break through the barrier and come in to eat you!
