As Zhang Zhixuan and the others went deeper and deeper into the Southern Wilderness, more locusts were exposed in front of their eyes, and they only entered the Southern Wilderness for 30,000 miles, and they found seven or eight large swarms of locusts, each of which was no less than the first group they encountered.

A locust swarm of this size must have a third-order locust demon in it, and without the control of a third-order locust demon, it is impossible to form such a large area like a black cloud.

Zhang Zhixuan raised his eyes and saw locusts open their sharp mouthparts, biting off all the weeds and trees like a wind and clouds, turning the dense forest into a bare wasteland in a very short time.

Because of the large size of the population and the constant feeding on the road, the locust swarms are relatively slow to advance. Zhang Zhixuan and the others estimated that under normal circumstances, although a swarm of locusts worked day and night, it could only advance three or four hundred miles. This speed was only one-tenth of that of a foundation building stage cultivator, and even a Qi cultivation stage cultivator ran at full strength, and his speed was much faster than that of a locust swarm.

Although Zhang Zhixuan and the others killed a group of locusts, they also consumed more than half of their mana, and Zhang Zhixuan also used the Heavenly Fire Golden Knife. Although the power of the Heavenly Fire Golden Knife is great, it is also very restrictive, and every time it is used, it must be warmed for three months.

If you want to eliminate a group of locusts without damage, according to Zhang Zhixuan's estimate, you need at least four to six foundation building period monks to work together. If it is a monk in the early stage of foundation building, because of the lack of mana and supernatural powers, the number of people is even more.

The habits and abilities of the locust swarm had already been explored more clearly, so they did not continue to entangle with it, and immediately left the Southern Wilderness and returned to Yanlai Peak.

After Zhang Zhixuan and the others returned, they found that Zhu Hun and Wu Xiangjiao had already come back first, and Zhu Hun was also injured and sat on the side with a pale face.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan and the two came back safely, and also took down a third-order locust demon, Wu Xiangjiao said with a happy face: "It's still Zhang Daoyou's clever methods, Brother Zhu and I also encountered a locust demon, but unfortunately we were surrounded in the middle of the locust swarm, although we injured the third-order insect king, but I didn't do my best, and Zhu Daoyou also injured some vitality because of excessive mana consumption." ”

"How does Zhu Daoyou feel?" Zhang Zhixuan turned his head and asked at the pale Zhu Hun.

"It's nothing more than excessive mana consumption, depending on the situation, relying only on a few of us, we can't stop these locusts, I am ready to return to Chaoyin Mountain immediately, ask Senior Sun for help, and ask a Purple Mansion monk to preside over the situation."

Zhu Hun's cultivation is only four layers of foundation, and his cultivation is the lowest among several people, this time he only fought for the first time, and he was injured, and his face was a little unsightly, he heard Zhang Zhixuan ask, and replied with a wry smile.

In Taicheng County, Qingxuanzong arranged two Zifu monks to sit in Chaoyin Mountain, namely Sun Changgeng and Han Wangpeng. There is a spirit stone mine in Chaoyin Mountain, which is far more important to Qingxuanzong than Taicheng County, so it is estimated that Sun Changgeng, who has a higher cultivation, will sit in Chaoyin Mountain, and Han Wangpeng may free up his hands to support Yanlai Peak.

sent Zhu Hun away first and asked him to go to Chaoyin Mountain to find reinforcements.

At this time, the nearest group of locusts was already less than 10,000 miles away from Yanlai Peak, and even if Zhang Zhixuan and the others went to the Qingxuanzong Mountain Gate for help, they didn't have so much time.

Qingxuanzong is located in the southwest of Taicheng County, the distance is more than tens of thousands of miles, that is, the foundation building period monks set off, it will take a month to come and go, and when the Qingxuanzong foundation building monks arrive, I am afraid that the locust swarm has entered Taicheng County on a large scale.

And Chaoyin Mountain is only 10,000 miles away from Yanlai Peak, and the monks in the foundation building period will come to reinforce it, and they can come within ten days, and they can easily catch up with this big battle.

The battle for the Chaoyin Mountain Spirit Stone Mine had already hurt the Hongshan Sect cultivators, and they didn't dare to make trouble now without being sure of nine out of ten.

Moreover, there are still three Purple Mansion monks guarding the mountain in Yuntai Mountain, and it is very likely that Jin Laozu is also hiding in Jiangkou County, and Zhao Xinlian is also hiding in Huilong Peak with Hu Boyu, on both sides of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, Qingxuanzong is stationed in one Jindan, six Purple Mansions, and there are sixty or seventy monks in the foundation building period. Even if the Hongshan Sect came out of the nest and relied on the geographical advantageous formation, the Qingxuan Sect now had the confidence to win.

Regarding the arrangement of Qingxuanzong, Yang Wangyuan of Hongshan Sect could also guess part of it, and without the certainty of complete victory, he did not dare to act rashly at all.

There is no big war for the time being, and Chaoyin Mountain can at least send half of its men to reinforce it, and it is estimated that there will be a Purple Mansion and five foundation-building period monks rushing to Yanlai Peak.

In this locust rebellion, the fourth-order locust demon had been killed by Liang Laozu, and the remaining locust swarm was divided into dozens of shares, which were easily broken by the monks.

If it weren't for the fear that the mortals of the family would have suffered too many deaths and injuries and hurt their vitality, even Zhang Zhixuan, a dozen people, could easily kill these locusts.

After all, without the suppression of the fourth-order locust demons, these locust swarms would not concentrate their strength at all, although the demon insects were smarter than ordinary locusts, but compared to the wisdom of human beings, they were still insignificant.

As long as Zhang Zhixuan and the others concentrate their strength, they can easily eliminate a group of locusts.

But now the time is very tight, they don't have time to find the locust swarms one by one and wipe them out, once a wave of locusts rushes into Taicheng County and kills mortals on a large scale, it will be a complete failure for the Zhang, Wu, Liu and other families.

Several people waited for two days, and when Wu Xiangwen and Wu Xianghuai came back, they exchanged some opinions with each other.

Wu Xiangwen had already built an eight-layer foundation for cultivation, and he and Wu Xianghuai worked together to exterminate a swarm of locusts and kill a third-order low-grade locust demon.

Because they didn't have flying magic weapons, they only collected the most precious materials from the locust demons. Although the locust demon is a third-order demon insect, the materials on its body are not very valuable, and its six legs are not strong enough, so it can only refine second-order high-grade magic weapons.

More than a dozen pairs of thin wings, because there is no cooperation of the locust demon's body, and it is impossible to use the means of sound attack, it is not too valuable.

To kill such a locust demon, Zhang Zhixuan and the others consumed four third-order spirit runes, and also used the Heavenly Fire Golden Knife, but the materials on its body added up, it is estimated that it is less than three hundred spirit stones, so it is a serious loss-making transaction.

Wu Xiangwen and the others killed the third-order locust demon, and the resources consumed were more, in order to save mana, only six third-order spirit runes were used, and thirteen second-order high-grade spirit runes were used, and the cost of the spirit runes exceeded a thousand spirit stones.

If it weren't for the stakes, if he encountered this kind of thing in the wilderness, Zhang Zhixuan would never have done anything with them, he must have run as far as he could.

Even if we wipe out all of these locust swarms, it will not do much good, but will consume a lot of resources.

If the mana is consumed too much, there is also the possibility of encountering danger.

Everyone gathered around the third-order locust demon that Zhang Zhixuan had hunted and began to analyze the weakness of this third-order demon insect.

Compared to the average third-order demon beast, the locust demon alone is very weak, and even a monk who has just built a foundation can easily solve it.

The terrifying thing about this monster is that it can control the locusts under its command on a large scale. With the addition of millions of ordinary locusts, the third-order locust demon is very difficult, and if it can't cause great losses to the locust swarm, the third-order locust demon will not appear at all.

As for what means the locust demon relies on to control the locusts, Zhang Zhixuan and the others have seen this kind of demon beast for the first time, and they still don't know a little, so they can only slowly accumulate experience in future battles.
