Chapter 316: The Plague of Locusts in the Other World is like a hanging
"I'm sorry, boss. Bao Da looked at Gangu Yu apologetically, "I followed the news from Miss Yin and the Natural Forest to reverse confirm, and I only learned about it, but I didn't hear any wind before." ”
Gangu Yu shook his head: "After all, our intelligence network has just been formed, so it's not surprising that this kind of problem has arisen, and you shouldn't blame yourself too much." Compared to that, the next trouble is the main point......"
Hearing this, everyone sitting in a circle fell silent.
When the weather changes and the temperature rises on the continent, and summer comes early, everyone is mentally prepared for the coming famine. At the same time, the tide of demonic beasts that has always accompanied the famine has not been forgotten by everyone.
Therefore, during this period of time, both magicians and ordinary farmers have been arranging for possible waves of Warcraft. However, most of these arrangements are aimed at some common and harmful magical beasts, such as the Black-toothed Pig and the Heavenly Demon Ape.
If that were the case, many would be confident that the famine would be delayed until after the autumn. By then, it's time for the recently planted sweet potatoes to be harvested. In that case, the severity of the famine would be minimized.
But what if this Warcraft wave is more special and rare?
For example, a once-in-a-century plague of locusts.
That's right, after months of continuous high temperatures and drought, the salty continent has just entered May and ushered in such a severe test. A wave of demonic beasts called Demon Locusts appeared from the southern tip of the continent overnight and quickly swarmed north. In fact, this is the beginning of every locust plague.
There are not many locust plagues on the salty continent, but each time it is heart-wrenching and impressive. This monster, known as the Demon Locust, is just as notorious as the locusts on Earth, but far more destructive than the latter.
The most straightforward point is. The object of the demon locust is not just the crops of the grass family, it is the real locust tide everywhere, and not a single grass grows. Thicker leaves, such as sweet potato leaves, are not immune to any reason. And the information from the natural forest confirms this.
The High Priest's letter stated that she had used a secret method to control the sacred tree and sacrificed a weapon of destruction to protect the inheritance of the race. At the same time, with a large number of magic scroll reserves, this finally repelled the sudden army of demon locusts.
However, the farmland outside the shelter of the sacred tree still suffered heavy losses, not to mention the wheat fields and sweet potato fields, and even the few bamboo forests planted by Ganguyu in the back mountains were eaten until only a few bamboo poles remained.
The reason for this is that these locusts are not strictly vegetarians. As monsters, they are also aggressive towards humans.
"Next, let me explain to you the classification of demon locusts. In the large hall of the academy, Instructor Munster, who taught the course "Distribution of Warcraft and Its Disaster Prevention", pointed to the phantom cast in the air. Said with a serious expression.
"The first is this ordinary demon locust the size of a palm. This kind of ordinary demon locust is only one order at the highest, and most of them are pseudo-demonic beasts that have not condensed magic crystals, but they are the most numerous and harmful demon locusts in the demon locust tide. Their most important feature is that they reproduce and grow rapidly. It only takes three to five days to grow from eggs to adults. ”
"Three or five days? Isn't that almost all killed?" There was an uproar in the auditorium, and even Gangu Yu's heart couldn't help but sink.
"Definitely. The number of ordinary demon locusts is so huge that the sages have been trying to kill them all for 8,000 years. But it never worked. Munster nodded solemnly, "But in fact, ordinary locusts are also the most vulnerable, and they will not attack humans, but will only eat crops. The best way to deal with them is to use a wide range of group attack magic, such as the Water Rain Arrow. The hail bombardment of the ice system, the brilliance of the light system, the fork lightning of the thunder system, and the catapult wind blade of the wind system ......"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but darken their faces. Whether it's rain arrows. The hail bombardment is still brilliant, it is all fifth-order magic, only the forked lightning and catapult wind blade as third-order magic are still relatively close to the people. After all, the low-level magic of each department is mainly a single attack or auxiliary magic.
"Don't worry, the academy has prepared a certain amount of magic scrolls for everyone, but instead of using them to kill enemies, I think it should be saved for life and death. Munster continued, "Because the second type of locust that I'm going to introduce to you next is also full of threats to humans. ”
The whispering of conversation in the Great Hall came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at Munster in unison.
Munster's wand clicked, and the light and shadow in the void changed: "This kind of locust is called an alpha locust...... Don't ask me why it's so strange, it's been handed down from the books left behind by our academy thousands of years ago. ”
Gangu Yu really wanted to complain about the name, but after seeing the image in mid-air, he was not so interested.
"As you can see, the size of this alpha-type demon locust is much larger than that of ordinary demon locusts, and the adult body length usually exceeds one foot, which is not much better than the cubs of the black-toothed pig. ”
Munster pointed to the phantom and said, "The most important thing is that its mouthparts have evolved, which directly caused it to change from herbivorous to omnivorous. If you are besieged by an alpha-type demon locust, even if the magician can't deal with it in time, you will be eaten into a skeleton!"
As soon as these words came out, there was even more commotion in the auditorium. Munster hurriedly said loudly: "However, the alpha-type demon locust has three to four levels of mana, but they still only use their mouthparts to bite to attack, and their defense is no different from that of ordinary demon locusts. An ordinary person with a long stick can also be stoned to death. If you want to deal with them, just don't get trapped. ”
Hearing this, Pei Pei turned his head and glanced at Gan Guyu: "It's really a demonic beast that gives you goosebumps. ”
"It should be relatively easy. Gangu Yu spread his hands, "To be honest, this alpha-type locust is more like it's here to send magic crystals, and it's absolutely fine to kill them to get magic crystals to fight and nourish the war - if there are no magic locusts like Betala Gama next." ”
"But next this beta-type demon locust, everyone should pay special attention. ”
The phantom in mid-air changed again, and Munster continued to introduce at the request of some crow's beak: "The most distinctive feature of this demon locust is their blood-colored wings. Although they are still no more than fourth-order magical beasts, and there are not many of them, and the individuals are smaller than the alpha type, they move quickly and are good at magical long-range attacks. When encountering a beta-type locust, you must remember to hold up the defensive magic at the first time. ”
Eventually, the phantom in mid-air turned into a big question mark. Munster's voice became a little heavy: "If you see something different from the above-mentioned locust, it is likely to be the legendary gamma-type locust, or a new type of locust that has never been discovered before. If you really meet such a guy, I advise you not to even activate the Water Reflection Stone Record Data, just turn around and run away, if you can escape one by one. ”
As soon as these words came out, a gasp suddenly sounded in the auditorium. (To be continued.) )
