Chapter 43: Bad luck
After dividing the field, Liu Shengtong and his wife began to be busy ploughing the Zhongpin Lingtian in order to plant spiritual plants as soon as possible.
And Liu Tianqi began to practice a human-level superb sword martial art, the Thunderbolt Knife Technique.
This thunderbolt knife technique was specially found by Liu Shengtong when he went back to Wolf City.
Eight days passed in a flash.
After a month, Liu Tianqi entered the [Secret Realm] again.
This time, Liu Tianqi's luck was very bad, and the place where he landed turned out to be the nest of a group of high-grade spirit beasts.
Liu Tianqi advanced to the Fusion Realm, and his strength reached three thousand catties, but the top-grade martial arts Tiger Fist Technique of the Perfection Realm did not hurt much for a high-grade spirit beast with rough skin and thick flesh.
The thunderbolt knife technique was quite beginner, relying on the top-grade spirit weapon Qingjin Knife, Liu Tianqi barely killed five or six high-grade spirit beasts, but he was already injured.
Looking at the remaining dozens of top-grade spirit beasts, Liu Tianqi went directly out of the [Secret Realm].
In the cave, Liu Tianqi sat on the bluestone with empty hands and scolded secretly:
"What bad luck!"
After an hour or two of breathing to recover from his injuries, Liu Tianqi walked around Nanshan.
Liu Tianqi went all the way to the west.
From time to time, a few locusts flutter on the mountain.
"The indica rice is almost ripe, and even this locust is starting to worry about it?"
Liu Tianqi muttered to himself.
After crossing another ridge, Liu Tianqi saw several grain trucks transporting indica rice coming from Shuixi Town, apparently to rush over the mountains to Leopard City.
It didn't take long for Liu Tianqi to see two grain trucks coming again.
Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, Liu Tianqi stepped forward and asked a middle-aged man who was driving the car, "Uncle, where is this indica rice going to be sent?"
The coachman glanced at Liu Tianqi vigilantly, and when he saw that he was only a half-old child, his expression was relieved, and he said, "You are a local, right?"
Liu Tianqi pointed to the python tendon bow behind him, and said: "I am learning to hunt, and I heard my father say that there are the most prey in Nanshan, so I came in to take a look, but I saw a lot of grain trucks transporting indica rice to Leopard City, and I was curious and wanted to ask." ”
When the coachman heard this, he kindly persuaded: "Young man, the mountains and forests are high and dense in the depths of Nanshan, although there are many prey, but there are also many poisonous snakes and beasts, those old hunters must be careful, see that you are not big, let's hurry up and go home." ”
Liu Tianqi blinked and said, "Uncle, you haven't told me why there are so many grain trucks?"
The coachman smiled: "Naturally, it's to buy indica rice! There are people in our town who collect indica rice at a high price, and I came to Shuixi Town to do a handsome business." ”
Liu Tianqi thought for a while and asked again, "Uncle, who is buying indica rice in your town?"
The coachman shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, it's all fresh faces." ”
Strangers buy indica rice at a high price?
Combined with the few locusts he had just discovered, Liu Tianqi thought of a terrible thing.
That's the plague of locusts.
Locusts pass through the border, and no grass grows, let alone indica, a spiritual plant that is more loved by locusts.
If there is a locust plague, then the price of indica rice will definitely skyrocket, and the people who hoard indica rice at this time will definitely make a lot of money.
"Oh, by the way, uncle, I will ask you about something, do you have locusts in Leopard City eating indica rice?"
Liu Tianqi always felt that the people who bought indica rice in Shuixi Town this time were very strange, and there were so many grain trucks haunted, I am afraid that most of the surplus grain in the hands of the villagers in Shuixi Town was purchased.
Once the locust plague broke out, the indica rice in the spiritual field was eaten up before it was harvested, and how much indica rice was left in the hands of the villagers.
Indica rice will definitely be in short supply at that time, and it will rise sharply.
At this time, buying indica rice at a high price is like a poisonous ploy to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.
Thinking of this, Liu Tianqi reminded again: "Uncle, I came all the way and found that locusts are swarming in the wilderness, I'm afraid there will be a locust plague this year, you have purchased so much indica rice, what if the people in Xizhen are affected by the disaster?"
The coachman sneered and said, "You kid, what's so terrible about the locust plague, which village doesn't have one or two true warriors, and when the time comes, everyone can join forces to wipe out most of the locust plague,......"
"Then what if this year's locust plague is so severe that even the true martial artists can't be killed?"
"The masters of the True Martial Artist Realm can't kill them all?" said the coachman as if he had heard a joke, "Could it be that a group of spirit beasts will fly?"
Nanshan is regarded as the branch of the southeast direction of the Bashan Mountain Range in the west, the mountain is high and dense, the terrain is precipitous, and it is located at the junction of Tiger City and Leopard City, the mountain is not only the place where birds and beasts grow, but also the birthplace of some fierce beasts and birds of prey, poison and treasures.
Liu Tianqi, who entered Nanshan, was already very careful, but when he tried to cross a canyon, he was blocked by a miasma rising from under the canyon, and after this miasma rose from the canyon, it quickly spread towards the forest where Liu Tianqi was located by the mountain wind.
Liu Tianqi fled, but the miasma behind him was surrounded by Liu Tianqi from all directions through the forest and mountains, and he couldn't escape, so he had to run with all his strength, trying to resist the miasma from invading his body with the spiritual power in his body, and at the same time try to hold his breath to reduce the frequency of breathing.
Fortunately, with the large-scale diffusion, the miasma has gradually become thinner, and the poison of the miasma should also be weakened, as long as it escapes the scope of the miasma, it is enough to think of forcing the poison.
But just when Liu Tianqi exhaled the first miasma into his body, a sweet and greasy taste rushed to his mind, and he suddenly felt dizzy.
Liu Tianqi was shocked, he didn't expect the poison of this miasma to be so violent.
Liu Tianqi was shocked, and hurriedly threw out of the range of the miasma while his mind was still in a clear state.
I gasped for two breaths, and the boredom in my chest and abdomen slowly dissipated because of the inhalation of miasma.
After finding a secluded place, and finding no traces of fierce beasts nearby, Liu Tianqi hurriedly began to operate the Ten Directions Xuangong to restore the spiritual power consumed in his body, and at the same time dissolve the remaining miasma in his body.
After a short half of the day, the sound of people neighing and shouting came, and at the same time, the sound of cars rolling on the road also came from far and near, waking Liu Tianqi up from his cultivation.
Where did the barren mountains and mountains come from?
This doubt rose from Liu Tianqi's heart.
Follow the sound all the way through the mountains and forests.
After a while, Liu Tianqi crouched behind a bush and looked down, and saw that there was a dirt road several zhang wide under the earth cliff several zhang high, this road seemed to have not been opened for too long, and the road was very potholed, so the oncoming three cars and horses walked very slowly.
When he got closer, Liu Tianqi saw clearly that these three carts and horses were also three grain carts.
