Chapter 43: The Eye of Kuding
Under the shaman's pious prayer once a day, under the protection of the totem red light to ripen, the growth of the wheat field is like a bamboo shoot just out of the ground, one appearance a day, in just ten days, it has already borne heavy and full ears of wheat, which can be harvested.

The minotaur took the lead and took the scythe and pounced on the dense wheat plant. The scope of this field is not small, and the harvesters are far from being skilled farmers, but after witnessing the harvest with their own eyes, whether it is a camel man, a wolf-headed man, or even a half-elf who can't help but do it himself, they are full of enthusiasm, and they do not feel tired after working for hours in a row.
With such efficiency, in just one morning, most of the wheat in the field was harvested and piled up in the underground granary. For such an important subsistence item, neither the chiefs nor the shamans are willing to put it at risk of acid rain.
By the afternoon, the workload was only half small, and everyone's wielding and cutting skills had improved to a certain extent, and it didn't take long for the harvest to be completed, and the novelty of Oripas had almost been used, and he had collected his sickle early and wandered around the fields.
He patted the sore back and looked at his new arm proudly, "After all, it's a treasure, my whole body hurts, and this arm is still full of energy, if only other places could be as durable as this arm...... Hey, what did I step on, how hard was it? β
"Mouse!" An earth-shattering scream rang out in the shaman's mouth, and the farmers saw a figure fleeing in all directions in the field.
The minotaur frowned, walked over to stop the half-elf, and picked him up, "You idiot, what is there to be afraid of mice, the crops in the field have been trampled by you." Do you know that wheat is worth more than you in our minds? β
"Shaman, don't be afraid." A few camel people came to the side, "We also saw it just now, you are not stepping on a mouse, just Xiaoqiang." β
"Xiaoqiang!" Auripas screamed even harder.
"Yiyi, in which way, Xiaoqiang will not be more terrifying than a mouse, right?" The chief was puzzled by the half-elf's performance.
"It's true that Xiaoqiang is no more terrible than a mouse, butβ" Oripas replied with difficulty, "have you ever seen Xiaoqiang as big as a mouse?" β
The minotaur was stunned for a moment, and finally seemed to realize that something was wrong, and turned his head to look at the field. One by one, the cockroaches jumped quickly among the wheat plants, and sure enough, their bodies were almost similar to those of mice.
Although he had never heard of cockroaches having a penchant for gnawing wheat, the minotaur still did not dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly ordered everyone to snatch back the last batch of wheat as soon as possible.
"Puff-poof-", streams of black-smelling gas rose in the field, and the camel man who smelled the smell directly was suddenly dizzy and fell on his back. This foul-smelling weapon is emitted by the big cockroaches.
The chief immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered to abandon the wheat harvest, rescue the unconscious, and retreat to the lord's palace.
"This place is really a poor mountain and bad water, specializing in breeding mutant monsters." The half-elf complained as he used a purification spell to revive his men.
The cockroach swarms followed each other's retreat, climbing up the gates and walls one by one, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of them turned over. At this time, the sober camel man had quickly picked up his weapon and struck hard at the cockroaches crawling everywhere, but these cockroaches crawled quickly and turned nimbly, and it was not easy for the bulky weapon to hit them, but was smoked down by the constant stench that spewed out.
The shaman sent out a "quagmire trap" in time, and several cockroaches shrouded in the spell area became slower than the turtle, and the camel man next to him was unceremonious, and the spear and hammer fell together, and the next thing everyone heard was the echo of "bang-bang-bang", like the loud and crisp sound of metal impact, and the cockroach's body was unharmed.
"Ah, ah, is that the legendary Xiaoqiang immortal?" In the house where the children lived, the two of them were surprised and said, "It is said that only one out of every 100,000 cockroaches will be born with great wisdom and power, and will understand the almost immortal and indestructible shell hardening technique, and from then on, the life span will be greatly extended, and after a hundred years, it will grow to be about the size of a mouse."
The minotaur mooed, and the double-sided axe slashed like a bolt of lightning, and the six cockroaches that were still slowly wriggling in the "quagmire trap" turned into twelve stumps in an instant, and the hands and feet on half of the body were still scratching, but it was obvious that there was no longer any possibility of survival.
"Squeak chirpβ" All the cockroaches in the lord's mansion stopped crawling at the same time, their tentacles dangling. After a while, the cockroaches seemed to have made up their minds, and they all turned around and retreated in the direction they came.
"Captain, you're so brave!" "Chief, you are an invincible warrior!" In the midst of the cheers, the minotaur's face became heavy, and he looked down at the axe in his hand, and on the side of the axe blade, there was a gap the size of six fingers.
"Why run? With the tactics of the sea of worms, you may not be able to lose. Fu'er asked, puzzled.
"Those who practice immortality usually do not have the determination to sacrifice, and take their own survival as the highest goal." Xiaoqing replied, "As long as they see that the individual is in danger of being wiped out, even if the group wins in the end, they are not willing to pay this price." β
"It's okay to go, I don't like this indiscriminate chemical weapons attack at all." Xiaoxing covered his nose, "Even when I see them, I am sick to death." β
"The second group of troops has arrived." Xiao Yu pointed to the wall.
This time over the wall is still the cockroaches, the number is a little less, only thirty or forty, but the size is much larger, comparable to a cat, what is even more terrifying is that their dark carapace faintly shiny, at a glance you know that it is harder than the previous batch of cockroaches.
However, the speed of these cockroaches was also slightly slower due to their increased size, and Olipas' "quagmire trap" quickly trapped the first batch to rush up. The chief swung his big axe and slashed down at a cockroach, only to hear a loud "bang", and the already damaged axe blade was broken into several pieces along the crack, although the cockroach was smashed to the ground alive, it quickly jumped up again, shook the dirt on its body, and continued to crawl forward without care.
"Is there a stronger axe?" Clark asked, yelling.
"These double-sided axes are all made in one workshop, and there is no difference." Someone handed the chief a second axe, and the half-elf explained, "This is already the finest weapon that can be forged on the continent, and the only thing that is stronger than this is the Adamantite Artifact, or the legendary artifact." β
"They must have a weakness, otherwise this bug would have been invincible in the world a long time ago." The minotaur looked closely at the crawling behavior of the cockroaches, and suddenly a thought popped into his mind, "It's the belly, turn their belly over!" β
"What did you say, Captain?"
"These bugs crawl all day long, and there is little need for protection in the belly, and the carapace in that place should not be as strong as the rest of the body." The chief waved his hand, "Turn them over." β
The camel men who wield spears hurriedly used their weapons as sticks to stab them, and the carapaces of these large cockroaches, although hard, were not heavy, and they could easily overturn their bodies. Indeed, what covers the abdomen is only a gray-black shell, which is far less conspicuous than the black shell on the back.
The minotaur rounded his axe, slashed the cockroach's belly vigorously, cut a deep wound, and then sprayed a large amount of fishy black juice, the smell was extremely foul, and several approaching camel people fell down on the spot.
However, the cockroach also lost its life because of this, and the other cockroaches saw this scene and turned around and ran out. When they attached themselves to the wall, the wolf's body was extremely difficult to climb, but the minotaur was not in the mood to chase after them and beat the water dogs, and hacking any of them to death would violently pollute the environment, so just let them go.
"I can't imagine that after these cockroaches get bigger, it will become so difficult to climb the wall."
"It is impossible to have a huge body and a strong and flexible body, the body is ten times larger, the weight is a thousand times the original, but the weight-bearing cross-sectional area of the bone is only a hundred times the original." Xiao Qing said lightly, "If it weren't for the fact that these cockroaches cultivated Xiaoqiang's immortal body, the bone shell would have been crushed by their own weight long ago." β
"But, isn't Heaven Lord about the same size as a normal human, and it's incredibly flexible?" Xiaoxing asked.
"Can you compare Heaven-kun to ordinary insects?" Xiao Qingzheng said, "Heaven Jun is a mythical body material, just like having a natural divine armor, his athletic ability still retains the advantages of a small size, vertical upside down walking is a common thing, jumping dozens of times his height can also be done, and he can even use the tension of the water surface to float on it......
"Boom", there was a heavy crash at the gate of the lord's mansion, and the minotaur stepped forward with an axe, just opened the door, and immediately covered his nose. It turned out to be a dozen cockroaches the size of a foal, with a thick stench emitting from their pitch-black bodies, and they were repeatedly slamming their bodies against the door wall.
Seeing the gate opened, the cockroaches wanted to rush in, and were kicked out by the minotaur one by one like a ball. The chief then walked out of the door, closed it with his backhand, and faced the filthy and disgusting things alone.
A cockroach rushed in front of him again, and Clark reached under it with an axe, flipped it over, and then slashed it into the belly with a hard axe.
"Boom", sparks splashed everywhere, and the cockroach of this size has strengthened the weak parts to a sufficient hardness, and is not afraid of the heavy axe swing of the minotaur at all.
The chief spat fiercely, stepped on the cockroach's body to prevent it from turning over, and handed the axe blade to the wall of Bai Wuyan beside him, rubbing it hard. The half-elf watching the battle on the wall was stunned for a moment, "This is called grinding the axe in battle, not happy and light?" β
After a while, a friction indentation appeared on the wall, and there was a "sizzling" sound on the axe blade, which seemed to have been sharpened to a high temperature. The minotaur picked up the axe and dealt a heavy blow to the cockroach's abdomen, this time immediately with an axe mark, accompanied by a burnt smell.
When the chief saw that he had not cut open the stomach of the worm, he cursed, and sent the axe to the wall to rub and warm it, and it seemed that he would not give up until he cut off the cockroach.
The rest of the cockroaches squeaked when they saw that the bull's head was so ferocious, and before their companions could be split, they turned around and scattered.
"Captain, be careful!" The half-elf suddenly shouted, and the chief heard the wind behind him and hurriedly jumped away to dodge. On closer inspection, the attacker turned out to be a giant cockroach the size of a tiger and leopard, with two long sickles sticking out of the corners of its mouth, which shows that it also has new means of attacking.
The duke's scalp tingled a little, thinking that the big guy's shell must be incredibly strong, but before he could figure out how to deal with it, cockroaches of the same size appeared in the other two directions. Although these cockroaches are more bulky, they are surrounded on three sides, and the high wall behind them has forced the minotaur into a corner.
"Captain, don't worry, I'll go to worship the ancestors and add blessing spells to you, you wait a minute." The half-elf also felt the seriousness of the situation, and immediately ran to the totem pole, "Which blessing is it better, Bison Brute Force?" The roar of the bull? Mad Cow Trampling? Or a cow, a ghost, a snake god......"
"Hey, Yiyi, what kind of buff spell did you add to me?" After a red light shot at the duke, a loud roar came from outside the wall, "How do I feel that the strength and speed of my body have not changed at all?" β
"This spell is called the Eye of Kuding!" The half-elf shouted vigorously, "You can quickly observe the weakness of your opponent's body, and legend has it that this spell is a legacy left by a mysterious god out of guilt for the cow creatures. β
"What a mess." Clark saw that the enclosure was getting smaller and smaller, and although he knew that it was useless to cut it with an axe, the cockroach attacked with a sickle, so he had to swing the axe to cover it for a while.
After this axe was shot, the Minotaur's heart suddenly brightened, "Why didn't I expect that, although these guys are getting bigger and bigger, and their carapace is getting thicker and thicker, there are more weak parts exposed." The axe was slightly tilted, and the tip of the blade had already poked hard into the eyeball of a cockroach. For those small-sized cockroaches, the tiny eyes are simply not graspable, and the eyes of the cockroaches in front of them are already the size of ordinary people, and with Clark's superb axe skills, it is not a problem to hit the eyes at all.
The cockroach glanced blind and went on a rampage like a frenzy, forcing even its two comrades to hide aside. The chief flashed one of its impacts, took the opportunity to sharpen the axe twice, first struck the cockroach on the head with the axe surface, pressed its head to the level of the ground, and the two tentacles also fell down, and then the hot axe blade quickly cut off, cutting off the tentacles at the root.
When the other two cockroaches saw this, they shook their tentacles, turned around and ran away.
"This cockroach is blind, it has no tentacles, and as long as it is thrown far away, it will not be able to move at all." There was not a trace of sympathy on Xiaoqing's face.
"In this way, the cockroach army is all defeated. Isn't Jizo-kun still reluctant to show up? The two of them were visibly impatient.
ββ¦β¦ Perhaps, Jizo-kun is using his 'immovable as a mountain' magic again. Xiao Yu guessed.
After waiting for a while, no bigger or more vicious cockroaches appeared, and the people of the principality began to celebrate enthusiastically. The half-elf pointed to the field, "The last of these wheat's wheat is ready to be made into wine, how can such a great and glorious victory be enjoyed without wine?" β
The door to the Lord's Mansion reopened, and Clark shook his double-sided axe, slung it on his shoulder, and was about to shake off the big stride and return triumphantly with heroic momentum.
A large shadow moved above the minotaur's head, and with the sound of a howling wind, a large mountain suddenly fell vertically from the sky, crushing the chief to the bottom.
