Chapter 343: Do You Think It's Easy to Talk Nonsense with Old Monsters?
In the final analysis, the locusts prefer the stems and leaves of rice to the heavy ears of rice. For them, although the ears of wheat and rice are not unpalatable, the obviously juicy stems and leaves are more in line with their taste.
However, the mages of nature have to eat after all, so at least some of the wheat needs to be eared and ripe, which even the locust god must recognize. After all, how can there be a reason to let the cattle plough the land and not let the cattle eat grass? But when the wind blows the wheat waves, the wheat plants are already golden, and they are no longer fresh, and they are much more unpalatable than when they are verdant.
But this is not the case with rice. When these rice plants are bent over by the ears of rice, most of their stems and leaves are still green and delicious, and the flavor is not diminished. In addition, the taste of rice was originally more satisfying than that of wheat, so although the locust god did not come forward to express his position, he was still very pleased with the transformation of the paddy fields by the people of the Natural Forest.
What's more, this time, the rice planted by the group of people in the Natural Forest can actually grow two stubbles in a row, which means that more rice stems and leaves can be eaten. In the face of such high yields, it would be a lie for the locust god to say in his heart that he was not happy.
"Truly, your performance, this seat is indeed very satisfied. The locust god nodded at Gangu Yu, "I hope you can continue to be so obedient and make everyone less troubled and troublesome." β
"Hehe, I'm so sorry, Lord Locust God, I actually have something I want to trouble you for. Gangu Yu rubbed his hands and laughed.
The locust god sighed lightly, and then said with a smile: "Why, do you want to ask for merit and reward after you have done some achievements? Are you sure you have this qualification?"
"Actually, it's also to meet your needs and all the locust-samates. Gan Guyu said, "The accommodation conditions in the cave at the bottom are too bad, which hurts everyone's enthusiasm for labor! You also know that only one new tribe comes to our natural forest every year, and the population problem is very serious. And we represent the most advanced productive forces in the salty continent. You don't want us to die early because of too much pain, do you?"
"Then you and this seat will change accommodations?" the locust god scoffed.
Gan Guyu hurriedly shook his head: "How can we do that?" Just leave a few caves in the middle level for us, it's okay to have less, we can squeeze in. β
"You're also magicians, so you can't stand this clammy cold?" the locust god's eyes were full of suspicion, "It can't be another attempt, right?"
Gan Guyu was silent for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That's it." Please also ask the locust god to take a step to speak. β
The locust god was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Truly, I want to see what kind of lofty argument you can say!"
With that, a whirlwind enveloped Gangu Rain. Gangu Yu only felt dizzy in his head, and when he woke up again, he was already suspended in mid-air out of thin air, and there was only the locust god beside him. Several pairs of compound eyes of the locust god glanced at Gangu Yu in unison: "Say it." β
"Does Lord Locust God think that with the High Priest and the Sacred Tree, he can hold all the natural mages hostage?" said Gangu Yu lightly.
When the locust god heard this, he froze for a moment, and then said coldly: "What do you mean?"
"Haven't you thought about it, my lord. Some people don't care about the life or death of the high priest, nor do they care about the inheritance of the natural forest, they just want to live well?"
"Hmm...... You've reminded me of this. The locust god thought for a moment and nodded, "But there shouldn't be many people like this, right? β
"There weren't many people like this before, or maybe there weren't at all at first, because everyone's small life was quite nourishing. But people change, especially in the face of adversity. Adversity sees the truth, and the hearts of the people are seen over time. Lord Locust God should understand, right?"
Gangu Yu spread his hands and said, "In order to repay the high priest for his kindness to me back then, people like me who value the inheritance of the natural forest more than their own lives like the elders are not all after all. This time since. The elders and I continued to reassure and even suppress everyone, but there were still many different voices below. After the start of the paddy field renovation project, there were more complaints, especially those ordinary people who had little to do with the high priest in the natural forest, and their sense of identity with the natural forest was not as deep as they imagined. β
The locust god was silent. He knew that Gangu Rain was not lying. The woman with a beautiful mole on the corner of her mouth was a strict example of a clansman who opposed her, and he learned about it soon after.
After a long time, he snorted coldly: "Do those people want to escape, or do they want to die?"
"I should want to escape, but if I can't escape, I'll die. Gangu Yu said. "But Lord Locust God, you still hope that we will live, and we will live obediently. β
"Are you trying to blackmail this seat in reverse?" said the locust god in an unkind tone.
"How dare I have that!" Gan Guyu immediately shouted, "I have been trying my best to appease everyone and let everyone settle here with peace of mind." In my opinion, although it is isolated from the rest of the world, it is also a paradise away from the chaos of the world. That's why I planted soothing flowers for everyone before!"
The locust god was silent again, and it took a long time before he snorted, acquiescing to Ganguyu's statement.
"However, if you let everyone live in those damp and cold caves all the time, not to mention that it is very likely that you will suffer from hidden diseases and affect your lifespan, in terms of comfort alone, it will also cause dissatisfaction among everyone. β
Gan Guyu continued: "Moreover, everyone has just completed the paddy field renovation project, and if they are not rewarded for their merits, it will be chilling! Will there be people who will do their best to increase production and take the initiative to contribute to the increase in yields? I am afraid that at most they will only seek merit but no fault!"
"Hmph, it's really unpredictable, it seems that this seat should strengthen control and management over you?"
"I'm afraid that if you do this, it will backfire and stir up the rebellion of some people! If such people incite some neutrals to their side, it will be out of control. Lord Locust God is majestic and strategic, can you use some more gentle methods, which is also conducive to the prosperity and stability in the sinkhole, isn't it?"
β...... That's enough. In that case, the seventy-seventh layer of the northern mountain wall is yours!" said the locust god impatiently, "you humans are really troublesome, or the people of this seat are obedient enough!" With that, he raised his hand and sent Gangu Yu back to the surface with a whirlwind, and he himself departed.
Gangu Yu, who returned to the ground in the blink of an eye, couldn't help but be stunned, and only after realizing that he had finally said that he had moved the other party, he showed a disdainful smile.
If you are a dead and ruined house that has been playing with insects for an unknown number of years, you can understand the art of these leaders, then there are ghosts! In other words, how brain-dead do you have to be to believe that these beautiful women in grass skirts, who have been born with the mission of saving the whole continent, will betray their beliefs and not take the sacred tree seriously? Obviously, there is brainwashing in the ritual of the summoning of the sacred tree, or the corresponding thinking logic gives the program!
"How is it?" Elder Si Yao immediately stepped forward anxiously, bringing Gangu Yu's thoughts back to the present.
"It worked. Gan Guyu smiled softly, "Now, everything should be ready, but this is just a kick in the door." β
"Great...... Hey, what's wrong with your legsβ"
"Oh, it's called intermittent involuntary thigh contractions, and it's fine for a while. β
β...... You're just shaking with nervousness, aren't you?" )
