Chapter 459: Spring Family Outing Cicada Hunting Activity
On a Wednesday at the end of February, when the weather warmed up, the family was ready to go on a spring outing in a black forest on the southern outskirts of the new district. The theme of this event is cicada hunting.
The forest was closer to the Central Underworld, and just above the nest of the seventeen-year-old cicadas, the plants here had mutated from green to black due to the constant nourishment of the forces of death, and looked ghostly and unusually discordant. The little pot friends in Black Carpet City will never come to the south forest to play on weekdays, but choose the other three directions of the lake to row, climb the mountain to exercise, or fly a kite in the black moss field.
A high-ranking member of the council, a general with a special talent for invading and stripping the veins of the world, should have gone home half a month ago. However, this washboard, which has not yet graduated from elementary school, was brainwashed by Camilla, and follows the cats every day, listening to various gospels from God, hoping to master the power of the legend and get a better future.
Tricked by Camilla, the general lied to her grandfather that he was going to spend a month out with his new friends and then return home in March. Today, the general followed Cesar's family to the black forest south of the city to explore the group of seventeen-year-old cicadas hidden deep underground.
The seventeen-year-old cicada tribe is an ancient sub-god family, they live a low-key life, escape from the world, and have no quarrel with the world. Every seventeen years, it will break through the ground in the summer, and after the summer song on the seventh day, it will lay eggs, and then fly away from the Black Carpet City, abandon this vein of the world, and disappear.
At that time, this vein of the world seemed to be agreed, and it would choose all the eggs to become the secondary gods.
When the larvae hatch, they will grow in the forest for a week, feed on black leaves, and change their bodies full of vitality to death attributes. Then they fell to the ground one after another, burrowed into the ground, searched for the trajectory of the veins of the world, and found the deepest divine domain little by little. In this process, more than ninety percent of the larvae will die, and the strongest ones will be selected. When the young child's secondary divine vein successfully enters the divine domain. He fell into a deep sleep, and continued to devour the power of the world to grow on its own, until the next seventeen years came, and then broke through the ground and laid eggs.
Why did these guys do that? To this day, no one can figure out. But everyone is very taboo about these seventeen-year-old cicadas, because their numbers are too large, although the individual is not powerful, but hundreds of sub-gods added together, it is definitely a nightmare!
It's good that these guys sleep all their lives. After waking up, he leaves after laying eggs, is not aggressive, and never expands the chassis. Otherwise, the black carpet will be reduced to a hunting ground for seventeen-year-old cicadas within a radius of hundreds of miles, and even the more advanced gods will be difficult to deal with them.
"This world is really amazing, I didn't expect there to be such a vein of the world!" Walking through the deserted dark forest, Cesara was constantly amazed. He never thought that there was a world vein in the world that recognized a group of sub-gods. Whenever he saw information about the seventeen-year-old cicada. My heart is full of emotion, and nature is full of unknowns.
"There are similar situations. Mainly concentrated in the ocean. There are a huge number of creatures there, and many of the large World Veins do not choose powerful creatures, but rather large groups of races to control the World Veins. However, the most famous in Middle-earth is the gem fish of Fairy Lake. The general, who was lying on Byron's back, spoke.
This forest is rarely inhabited, so the fallen leaves accumulate very thickly. When a big guy like Byron steps on it, he will sink his knees. The Hela siblings spend all year round in the forest and can walk between tree trunks, while Cesar is cared for by Rita and her gravity is reduced. There is also a standing barrier under the feet, which does not touch the dead leaves. But a dwarf like the general had no choice but to let Byron carry it.
"Are you talking about Fairy Lake the one that makes movies and specializes in building high-end magic equipment?" asked Cesar, thinking of the Fairy Lake Resort that Doudou had said.
"That's the place!" the general nodded, "Fairy Lake was first known for its magical weapons, and those little goblins have an unparalleled talent for enchantment. However, high-grade magic weapons, after all, are only a few people who can afford to consume them, and their lives are not rich. With the migration of ethnic groups from all over the continent and the multiplication of different races, the population of Fairy Lake has skyrocketed. In order to solve the problem of food and clothing, the elves opened resorts. Fairy Lake is very beautiful, like a fairyland, and is known as a fantasy town away from the world. But the beauty alone can't beat the well-known scenic spots in other parts of Middle-earth to attract tourists. One of the reasons why Fairy Lake can become a tourist resort is that the gem fish is an important reason!"
"Those fish, like the seventeen-year-old cicadas on the black carpet, are a large flock of sub-gods?" asked Cesar.
"Well, it's more exaggerated than your Black Carpet City. The general nodded and recalled, "Grandpa takes me to Fairy Lake every year for a vacation, and the reason why it's called 'Fairy Lake' is not Fairy Forest, or Fairy Mountain. It's because in the center of that mountain forest, there is a huge sapphire blue lake, the area is larger than your black carpet! In that lake, there is a world vein, which was originally a true god level, but it was injured in the second period and fell to the third level of the secondary god vein, but it is also the strongest secondary god vein!"
"The gods who inhabit that lake are the signature dish of Fairy Lake, the jewel fish! All the jewel fish born in Fairy Lake will be chosen as a secondary god by the veins of the world. Theoretically speaking, every fish can control the divine power of the fairy lake, and it should be incomparably powerful. But the problem is that the fairy lake is too big, and the number of gem fish is too large, at least billions, and countless are born every day. The terrifying number and troublesome thoughts diluted the power of the veins of the world, and the divine power that finally fell on the head of each fish was pitiful. In the end, the veins of the world in the fairy lake belonged to the most powerful fish kings, and those weak sub-god gem fish became the delicacy of the goblins to entertain tourists. If you think about it, thousands of gods are made into delicacies every day, and these delicacies are endlessly delicious, and they prolong life and eliminate all diseases, and the Fairy Lake Resort is naturally famous!"
"If you have a chance, you must see it!" Cesar listened greedily, thinking that he was also in trouble, and he was just qualified to enter the fairy lake.
"Yes!" Camilla nodded frantically, and Gosner on the side hummed in agreement.
"Since there are so many gem fish, why doesn't Fairy Lake do a canning business?" asked Rita.
"Those fish, after a day out of the lake, will dissipate their divine power and turn into ordinary fish bones. So I want to eat gem fish. Eat fresh only by the lake. The general said with regret.
"Cesar, after we get this divine vein, how about we just build a seventeen-year-old cicada farm?" Camilla said.
"Seventeen-year-old cicadas are not the scum of the gem fish with a combat power of only five. Cesar shook his head.
A short time later, the general suddenly called out and made Byron stop next to a large tree that looked very old.
"What's going on?" said Cesar, looking at him suspiciously.
"Look at this tree!"
"It's big, it's thick. It's long, it's dark!" Cesar concluded after a moment's pause.
"Can't you see anything else? Look here!" the general straightened his arm and pointed to the ten-meter-high trunk.
"There's a hole, could it be a woodpecker?" Cesar had a good eye, and saw a black hole in the tree, but it was very small in diameter, only the thickness of two thumbs, and it did not look like a bird's hole.
"Stupid! that's the Domain Barrier!" the general shouted with a roll of his eyes, "This is a second-level secondary divine vein. Originally, the Divine Domain of the second-level secondary divine vein should only have one passage entrance, but this Divine Domain is very old, and after seventeen years of improvement and expansion from generation to generation, there are about three or four Domain Boundary Fortresses in this forest! And I can also deduce the specific size of the Divine Domain based on the number of Domain Boundary Barriers. Most importantly, this is the path to the Divine Domain! Those seventeen-year-old cicadas are sleeping. We can sneak in!"
After hearing the general's words, Cesar looked at the hollow again. The modified eyes looked at it for a long time, but still found nothing abnormal. Finding the pulse of the world, sealing, and invading this kind of work really has to be handed over to professionals.
"Let's get started, then!" Camilla urged impatiently.
"General Spinning Wheel, come out and get to work!" the general summoned his doll. Begin to invade that tree hole.
In Cesar's eyes, countless spinning silks shot out of the spinning wheel, all of them burrowed into the hollows of the trees, as if they could penetrate the walls, and went down the inside of the trees into the ground. Then it vanished.
Everyone waited for ten minutes, only to see that the general's face was getting whiter and paler, and he was in a posture of prostration.
"Quick, give me energy, I'm going to be drained. â
Hearing the general's call, Cesar nodded to the head maid: "Rita, mend the demon!"
The general is a weak scumbag, although he has strong talents, his own strength is limited. The weakest first-level sub-divine vein cut last time required Mr. Dogyu, an anti-bone boy, to convey divine power on the side, so he worked hard to complete the work. This time to deal with the more powerful seventeen-year-old cicada, there is no inner ghost to send her energy. Cesar, who had prepared for a long time, asked Rita to order a high-purity magic liquid that matched the general a week ago as a backup energy.
Hearing Cesar's command, Rita unfolded a force field platform above the dead leaf layer, and then waved the maid's skirt to magically conjure up a large array of oxygen tank-like equipment, marked 'Gray-White Special Linen Energy β-2'.
"What a strange power attribute this is! I'm just death poison, how did the Ring of Zero collect this magic liquid?" Sisar squatted on the side of the compression tank, looking at the label attached to it, with a complicated expression on his face that had been trampled by an epic alpaca.
"Meow did a test last time, and it was the 'death, bandage, spice' attribute, which is said to be the standard for mummies, and it is very ordinary. Meow thinks that when I was mummified after death in my previous life, those scum must have been lazy and didn't add enough gold, otherwise there would definitely be 'gold' in my attributes!" Camilla interjected, crouching beside Cesar.
"This kind of detailed attribute is not very useful, as long as you are Death Pork, you can use it. General, whether it is gray energy or white energy, she can use it generally, but the utilization rate is not high. If you choose the wrong attributes, you will contaminate your body, and you will be injured at least and festering and dying at worst. â
While explaining, Rita also distracted herself by assembling various unaware devices together, and finally diluted a high concentration of compressed magic liquid to a ratio that the general could absorb, then mixed air to volatilize and vaporize, and put an oxygen mask-like thing on the general's face to replenish her.
"Hey, loyal dog, you know so much, then let me ask you, is there a method of 'bodily fluid exchange' on the planet Ceylon?" Camilla's gossip soul suddenly burst into flames.
"Haven't heard of bodily fluids? Rita thought for a moment and shook her head decisively, she had never heard of such a lewd method. Probably a despicable excuse used by male-capable people to take advantage of innocent girls, right?
I once heard the young master say that the Mother Monkey Ring once had a owner who bred a golden cow. The milk of the Golden Cow has the miraculous effect of replenishing magic and restoring injuries. That purple milk is called the Big Purple Bottle. Milk interjected.
"Cut, boring. Camilla pursed her lips and ran to the general's side to offer love.
The general, who had been replenished by his magic power, quickly regained his complexion, and his whole body became energetic again, closing his eyes and trying to invade the veins of the world here. It took about an hour before I opened my eyes.
"Shun lĂŹ?" Camilla pulled out a folding fan and said flatteringly as she fanned the general.
"The Divine Domain is very hidden, but I still found it. The Divine Domain is the size of two ten-story buildings, which are divided into dense nest-like spaces connected by complex passages. In every space, there is a seventeen-year-old cicada sleeping, a total of two thousand! But most of them are dead, and there are four hundred alive, each of which is the size of a gasoline can!" the general took a breath and stretched out his arms to gesture, "The defense of the Divine Domain is very tight, there are a total of five domain boundary plug passages, and each passage is guarded by two seventeen-year cicadas. But six of the ten guards died, and four more were sleeping. I have explored the way, but I dare not seize control of the veins of the world, for fear of waking them up. â
"What then?" said Camilla, hurrying.
"Don't worry, this time Rita ordered a large number of high-grade anesthetics in the Ring of Zero, and this thing also has an effect on the sub-gods. Cesar smiled.
This time, he was quite well prepared, and he could take down this vein of the world with almost no hands. However, the cost is also very large, and before departure, Cesara calculated that if it were not for the excessive number of cicadas in seventeen years, he might not be able to recover the cost.
But after the field investigation, I found that this is an ancient second-level secondary divine vein, and there is also a complete divine domain, which is very valuable. Add to that a bunch of seventeen-year-old cicadas, and you should be able to make a lot of money.
"This time I was really lucky, all the four hundred seventeen-year-old cicadas fell asleep. This is not the case with other sub-gods at all, and which of those guys is not extremely vigilant? Once a creature enters the range of the world's vein, it will be monitored. If you want to invade the divine vein, you will be attacked at the first time. Milk sighed.
"You start concocting the anesthetic, and when I pull out the domain barrier and open the passage into the god's domain, you will release the anesthetic. Remember to be gaseous, otherwise it will alarm the seventeen-year-old cicadas! When those seventeen-year-old cicadas sleep and die, I will help Cesara seize control of the world's veins. However, the process may be long, after all, not one sub-god, but four hundred. Speaking of this, the general also had a black line on his face, "But I don't dare to guarantee that I can handle four hundred sub-gods, in case of an accident, you can't blame me." â
"Can't you kill all these cicadas?" Byron asked.
"You scumbag, life is worth more than death!" scolded Milk.
"Shut up! I have a way!" Fairy Sha flew out, "There have been a lot of vacancies in the Bloody Swamp lately, and I'm also interested in the sub-gods! Rest assured, Cesara, the swamp is well nourished to feed these giant cicadas. And your sharks, they used to be calamity, but now they are just ordinary flesh and blood, and they can't play their due strength. Let me do some research, maybe I can upgrade the shark. â
"Alright, everyone get ready to act!" (to be continued......)
