Chapter 7: The Ant Killer
"Xu Jinjiang retired?"
Looking at the other party's scattered formation, Li Hu's brows furrowed deeply.
Xu Jinjiang's trip was under the banner of Huluwa Cottage, and it was menacing, and it was impossible to be so willing to eat deflated.
"No, he saw that there was no hope of attacking the city, so he planned to block the way out of the cottage and slowly consume us. Chu He penetrated Xu Jinjiang's intentions at a glance, turned to Li Hu and asked, "Are there other paths in the cottage?"
"There is a path, but Xu Jinjiang also knows the specific location, and he will definitely set up an ambush there. β
Li Hu's expression was a little solemn, and he continued: "There is grain in the village, which can last for three or five days, and the brothers who went out to buy grain and hunt have not returned yet, and under the siege of Xu Jinjiang's heavy troops, even if they come back, they will not be able to send food security back to the cottage." β
"The Yanzhou barracks is more than 200 miles away, and it will take ten days to go back and forth at the earliest. β
The current situation made Chu He start to worry.
Who would have thought that the Nuoda Phi Phi Shrimp Alliance would not have enough food to last for three days?
"Nine Emperor Princes, General Chu, please rest assured, even if we go back to the attic to rest, after the food is eaten, we still have war horses, and we can still eat wild vegetables and tree bark to satisfy our hunger, and we can always hold on to the gallop of the Silver Snow Iron Horse. β
The Silver Snow Iron Rider is the last hope of Li Hu and the Pipi Shrimp Alliance, and it is also the source of his confidence in daring to fight against the gourd cottage.
"Let's stay up first, there will always be a turnaround. β
In this case, it is useless to talk more, it is all nonsense, Jiang Feng left the gate of the wall, intending to return to the attic.
On the way back, he accidentally stepped on an ant that was carrying grain.
"Drop, the system prompts: trample on an ant, kill value +5. β
"Huh?
Jiang Feng froze in place, opened the system panel, and the kill value did increase by five points.
Squatting on the ground and looking closely, the ant colony stretched for several meters long, with a visual number of five or six hundred, and finally went straight to the nest, where the number of ants was immeasurable.
"Ryuxia, go to the kitchen and help me get some kerosene. β
"Nine Emperor Princes, what do you want kerosene for?" Lu Xia lifted the hem of her skirt and squatted near Jiang Feng.
Seeing him staring intently at the ant colony, a strange evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth from time to time, which made Lu Xia's face full of suspicion, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was being sold in Jiang Feng's gourd?
"Your Highness, wait a moment, and I'll fetch kerosene for you. β
Although he had doubts, Ryuxia still went to the kitchen to find half a barrel of kerosene, which is the fuel used to light the night light in the cottage.
Covering his eyes with his hands and turning his back, the next picture is not suitable for the girl to watch. β
Jiang Feng took the kerosene in Liuxia's hand and poured it on the path of the ant colony, and poured all the remaining kerosene into the nest along the hole.
After everything was ready, Jiang Feng took out his lighter, ready to witness the next sacred moment.
When the kerosene met the fire, it began to burn, constantly spitting out blue tongues of fire, and the fire flickered wildly, and the air was suddenly filled with a fierce and pungent smell of burning.
"Drop, system prompt: burn an ant, kill value +6. β
β...... , +5 kill rating. β
β...... , +9 Kill Rating. β
...
"Drop, the system prompts, burn the queen ant, kill value +120. β
In just a few seconds, in Jiang Feng's mind, a string of data whistled by.
Eventually, the balance stabilized, destroying an ant nest and gaining a total of 2,720 kill points.
This increased value made Jiang Feng excited, and when he killed Jiang Wen, he barely obtained 150 kill points, which was equivalent to twenty ants.
"This is really an unexpected gain.,I originally thought that only killing people could get kill value.,I didn't want to step on an ant to kill.,It's contrary to the setting of the killing system.,Then just use it as a bug.γ β
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng was immediately full of energy, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, holding kerosene in his left hand and a lighter in his right hand, he burned all the large and small anthills in the Pipi Shrimp Alliance.
The kill point balance has soared from 150 points to over 6,000 points.
After a busy day, Jiang Feng passed by the pond and planned to take a bath, and happened to see carp swimming on the surface of the water, so he ordered someone to drain the pond overnight on a whim.
Five frogs, fifteen carp, and thirty-three dried shrimps were caught.
After all the heads are boiled, gain 1320 kill points.
"Nine Emperor Concubines, Your Highness shouldn't be crazy, right? This is another burning ant nest and pumping a pond, which is not at all what a normal person should do. β
Looking at Jiang Feng, who was sitting on the bed and giggling, Chu He couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to ask Lu Xia at the door.
After all, Lu Xia is the fiancΓ©e who shares the bed with the Nine Emperor Princes, and has lived in the Prince's Mansion since he was a child, so he should know his quirks quite well.
"Your Highness has had an extreme personality since he was a child, and it is normal to burn the ant nest to vent when he is in a bad mood. Lu Xia spat out a cloudy breath, in fact, she couldn't understand Jiang Feng's true intentions.
The behavior is very abnormal, so abnormal that it is incomprehensible.
"I hope that the imperial concubine will take care of His Royal Highness's emotions more in the future, he is the hope of the Snow Moon Empire and the old monarch, and there can be no mistakes. Chu He said that, and retreated to the first floor to garrison.
Sleepless nights......
The next morning, before dawn, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the attic, and Li Huhuo knocked on the door in a hurry.
"Nine Emperor Princes, General Chu, it's not good, it's not good!"
"Shhh, be quiet, Your Highness is sleeping, and you haven't woken up yet, so you have something to tell me. Chu He stopped Li Hu outside the door and motioned for him to speak quietly.
"Last night, there was a traitor who was afraid of death in Qingfeng Village, and a fire burned the stored grain in the warehouse, and the remaining loose grain was difficult to maintain even for half a day. β
Li Hu panicked, three days of food storage, saving points, can last for five or six days, plus horses and wild vegetables, enough to support the reinforcements of the Yinxue Iron Cavalry.
But now, a fire, all gone.
Even the horses were slaughtered, and the flesh was discarded and soaked in a manure tank overnight, making it inedible.
"When the city is besieged by heavy troops, food is life, at this critical juncture, why not send cronies to guard the warehouse?" Chu He asked sharply, the food was originally insufficient, but now that this kind of change has happened, it will be even more difficult to survive.
Under the siege of Xu Jinjiang, the brothers of the Pipi Shrimp Alliance are bound to do something out of the ordinary in order to save their lives, after all, only the leader Li Hu knows about the reinforcements.
If they were able to set fire to the granary last night, then it would be possible to open the gate of the village today and let the Dragon and Tiger Gang in, so they had to guard against it.
"General Chu, it's my fault, I trust my brother too much. Li Hu was also extremely annoyed.
"I'll take care of the food matter. β
The sound of the two arguing woke up Jiang Feng, who was now a man with 10,000 kill points.
"How does Your Highness plan to solve it?"
"There is no need to ask, you will know by then, the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the morale of the army. β
Jiang Feng stretched his waist, yawned and put on his clothes, "Quickly follow me back to Qianzhai, once the door of the village is opened, the Pipi Shrimp Alliance will be completely gone." β
