Chapter Forty-Eight: The Birth of the Sandworm, Behind the Scenes
With Li Beihai in front of him, and twenty or thirty patrols to assist, Zhang Qingyang held his plaster arm behind to check and fill in the gaps, and the hideous sandworms were emptied in half in an instant.
The safety of everyone in the main venue was guaranteed, and with the prefect by his side, his mood gradually stabilized. Many men also dismantled the tables, chairs and benches in their hands and waited for them.
The prefect has Yue Shuwen's cousins by his side, and he doesn't have much fear, after all, Yue Shuwen's cousins are all trained in the border army, and it is more than enough to protect him. Seeing Li Beihai turn the tide with his own strength and contain the attack of the sandworms, he couldn't hide his admiration in his heart, he turned his head sideways and said to the guards beside him: "The son of the old Li family is really good, if he can be released and experience one or two, he will be a pillar of talent in the future." Xiong Fei, how do you think this kid's cultivation compares to you?"
Yue Shuwen's cousin Yue Xiong Fei is also an outstanding son of the younger generation of the Yue family, compared to violent elements like Yue Shuwen, he has both Wen Tao and martial arts, and is the key training object of the Yue family.
Yue Xiongfei said: "Yes, my cultivation is already quite hot. and the little nephew are probably between the two, but I don't know whose pet beast is stronger. ”
The prefect smiled and said, "Xiong Fei is still so modest. You were sharpened in the army, and he learned in the ivory tower. On the surface, it looks like a match, but in real combat, he is far behind you. Although I am a literati, I still know a little bit of it. ”
"Your Excellency. Yue Xiongfei said humbly.
The prefect said: "Nanling Academy is the top academy in the Human Federation, and it has sent countless talents to the entire Federation. But in the past ten years, there have been fewer and fewer real talents, of course, this is not the case of Nanling Academy, the entire federation of academies is showing this downward trend, which is worrying. ”
"The adults are worried about the country and the people, and the little nephew admires them. ”
The prefect said: "The federation sent me to govern Nanling City, and I also have the heart to revitalize Nanling Academy. Nanling Academy has produced a town-level powerhouse like Wei Zongwan, which is heartbreaking. I have made an agreement with your Yue family that I will send a few outstanding disciples to the border army every year to hone my skills. If the young eagle does not spread its wings, no matter how well it develops, it is still a young eagle. ”
"The adults are far-sighted, and the little nephew admires it, and the little nephew must do a good job of receiving the border army with the elders in the family. ”
"The necessary training is a must, but try to save their lives in the training. ”
"The little nephew understands that the little nephew will definitely do a good job of protection. ”
Yue Shuwen pouted: "If there is a senior brother here, I don't necessarily need your protection." ”
Yue Xiongfei looked at Li Beihai, nodded and said, "It's like a jade, but with the polishing of iron and blood, the achievements will not be lower than mine." ”
"Well, I'm talking about the current senior brother, and Li Beihai is the previous senior brother. ”
"Who?"
"It's the one with the plaster on the arm. ”
The prefect and Yue Xiongfei looked over at the same time, a young man who looked too young, with a plaster on his arm, and was currently playing soy sauce the whole time, was really not very convincing.
is the sturdy girl next to the boy, which makes people feel that the potential is extraordinary.
Zhang Qingyang said: "I'm fine, you don't have to follow me, deal with a few little bugs, I'm okay." ”
Zhao Fangfei said: "Senior brother, your arm is not completely well, I have a good care by your side." ”
As there are fewer and fewer insects in the main venue, Zhang Qingyang is gradually no longer needed.
The insects in the main venue were gradually brought under control, and the screams of terror and the characteristic shrill hiss of sandworms could still be heard outside the venue. However, the security force of the venue is very strong, not only patrolling, but also pet warriors and mechanical warriors.
Especially once the mechanical warriors enter the field, the sandworms will definitely be wiped out. But until then, casualties are inevitable.
Thinking of the tragic situation outside and the huge negative impact of this incident, the prefect's face became ugly, after all, the sandworm competition was introduced by him, and he undoubtedly had to bear some responsibility.
The prefect said: "I know that if I sit in this position, someone will definitely make trouble, but it is too much to make such a big deal and treat human life like a mustard! How do you think these sandworms will be sent into the venue through inspection without knowing it? Not to mention the venue, even Nanling City, should not be able to enter!"
Yue Xiong Fei said, "Could it be that those sandworm merchants brought it in?"
The prefect said: "They don't have the courage and the energy, they shouldn't have done it." ”
Yue Xiongfei also denied this conjecture: "Adult sandworms are extremely fierce, unless the sandworm merchant first drugs them to make them sleepy before bringing them in, but there are so many sandworms and the resistance of sandworms is strong, it is difficult for sandworm merchants to transport such a large number of sandworms in." ”
Yue Shuwen said: "These sandworms are too small, their combat power and defense are less than half of normal, and they all look stunted. ”
Yue Shuwen has been fighting sandworms at the border all year round, and he knows the characteristics of sandworms well.
While the crowd was still pondering, a sudden scream broke the relatively quiet atmosphere of the scene.
A sandworm the size of a hedgehog suddenly burst open the box and pounced on its owner. As it pounced, its body continued to expand rapidly. By the time it pounced on its owner, its pointed knife arm piercing its owner's chest, it had grown to the size of an ordinary hunting dog.
The sandworm feasted on its owner, its body inflated rapidly.
After being stunned for two seconds, the others around him rushed up and beckoned to the insect with benches, table legs, and candlesticks.
Soon the bug was smashed into a ball of meat sauce and mixed with its owner, indistinguishable from each other.
Before everyone had time to catch their breath, screams came one after another in the hall.
Dozens of hedgehog-sized sandworms broke free from the box at the same time and pounced on the nearest person.
Zhao Fangfei said: "Such a big bug, how can a small bug box fit it?"
Zhang Qingyang was struck by lightning and looked at the several insect box-like containers that were still smoking in the venue. He finally guessed the real effect of those "poisonous smokes".
"Toxic smoke" is indeed not poisonous, it only plays a catalytic role, allowing the sandworms that are controlled by the drug and lose their freedom to grow to break free from the drug control. Compared with sandworm larvae, "poisonous smoke" is not only an antidote, but also a tonic. Of course, there must be great disadvantages to allowing sandworms to grow rapidly in a very short period of time, such as at the cost of life potential, but it doesn't matter how long these sandworms can live.
Only this explanation can make sense as to why swarms of adult sandworms suddenly appear in the high-security sandworm contest.
This is Nanling City, far from the border, and no matter how strong the Zerg is, they can't cross the checkpoints and send the sandworms here.
Zhang Qingyang said: "Zhao Fangfei, you go and seal all the smoking boxes, I suspect that those smoke are the culprits that gave birth to adult sandworms." ”
Zhao Fangfei's little face was very surprised: "Who can do such a vicious thing." Don't worry, senior brother, I'll do it right away, and you should be careful yourself. ”
