The north wind blows, and the autumn breeze is cool.

Soon it will be autumn again.

This is the fortieth autumn of Zhou Chun's coming to this world, and it is also the fortieth year that the Zhou family has taken root in Jiufengling.

Yes, unconsciously, the Zhou family has been coming to Yasukuni for forty years.

Zhou Chun has also been in this world for forty years.

Forty years have passed, Zhou Chun has changed a lot, and the Zhou family has also changed a lot.

In the past forty years, many elders who are familiar to Zhou Chun have passed away for various reasons, and many juniors have grown up under his nose.

He lost some of his elders and gained more of his descendants.

The latest statistics show that the native population of the Zhou family has now reached 247, which is more than 100 people more than the number of the Zhou family 40 years ago.

At the same time, the Zhou family now only has more than 97,000 spirit coins in the account.

Some people are rich, and the current Zhou family is so arrogant!

Of course, Zhou Chun himself has changed a little more.

Forty years have passed, and he was only cultivating at the sixth level of the Qi refining period at the beginning, and now he is now in the middle stage of foundation building.

And he is only sixty-one years old this year, and it is very likely that he will break through to the late stage of foundation building before the age of eighty.

If it is successful, it may not be difficult for him to open the Purple Mansion before the age of 100.

So the person who really has a promising future for the Zhou family is actually him.

Autumn is the harvest season.

Many pregnant female beasts in the Zhou Family Animal Garden have given birth to offspring in this season, so that the descendants can survive the winter before the arrival of winter snow.

Zhou Chun was also ordering all kinds of materials to be exchanged, preparing to go to Long Yuanze to trade with the scale frog alien led by Lu Ran before the arrival of winter snow.

Now, with the comprehensive contraction of the Dragon Sect and its return to the main altar, the scale frog alien tribe on the bank of Longyuan Ze has also ushered in a period of rapid development.

The trade with the Zhou family allowed those scale frog aliens who returned to Lu Ran to obtain a large number of high-quality weapons, and they all benefited greatly from conquering other tribes and obtaining food, and the number of tribesmen was increasing year by year.

And the large number of water treasures that the Zhou family obtained from the scale frog alien race also benefited the family greatly.

The only fly in the ointment is that these water treasures have to be picked up by Qinglian Temple, and the price is not high.

On this day, after the materials for the exchange were ready, Zhou Chun personally took the things and went to Long Yuanze with Zhou Daoquan.

The Silver Lightning Thunder Python was already capable of traveling between the two places at this time, and in the case of going downstream, it only took one day to arrive at Long Yuanze with Zhou Chun.

Because it is not the first time that the two sides have traded, the relevant processes have gone very fast.

After Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan arrived at Long Yuanze, they quickly contacted Lu Ran, and then handed over the things they brought to the other party, and then obtained the corresponding amount of water treasures from the other party according to the approximate value of the goods.

In fact, in this kind of trade, the really valuable and precious things are the things that Lu Ran needs for himself.

Spirit tea, spirit wine, spirit incense, all kinds of things that high-level immortal cultivators enjoy, are all things that Lu Ran has booked for a long time.

When it comes to enjoyment now, it is more enjoyable than even the monks of the Jindan period.

In order to buy some new varieties for him that had never been used, the Zhou family even entrusted people or sent people to Fengguo and Chengguo to buy them.

However, for the Zhou family, they are not afraid that Lu Ran will enjoy it, but they are afraid that Lu Ran will not enjoy it.

If Lu Ran was bent on strengthening the strength of the Scaly Frog Alien Race through this kind of trade, then the Zhou family would only have to think twice before dealing with this kind of trade.

But now, no matter what kind of spirit tea and spirit wine Lu Ran wants, the Zhou family will try their best to get it for him, as long as he can afford to exchange things of equal value.

After the trade was over, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan returned to Lanzhou in two days with the harvested water treasures from the underground river upstream from the underground river.

After that, according to the rules, Zhou Chun directly sent the things to the Qinglian Temple for selection.

The Taoist who is responsible for selecting the treasures of the waters on the side of the Qinglian Temple is a monk of the Purple Mansion Period, who has a wide range of knowledge and has a strong ability to appreciate all kinds of treasures of the waters.

There are many water treasures that even Lu Ran and the Zhou family don't know the names and uses, and he can also say a three-two-one, which makes the Zhou family also know a lot of new knowledge in the process.

On this day, after letting the Daoists of Qinglian Temple select those rare water treasures as usual, Zhou Chun prepared to leave with the remaining water treasures and spirit coins to return to the family.

Unexpectedly, before the others left the Qinglian Guanshan Gate, they were suddenly stopped, saying that they were called by the master Qingweizi.

Since suffering a big loss from the ancestor of the Su family, Zhou Chun no longer dared to slack off on these Jindan stage monks.

Knowing that it was Qing Weizi who called him, he hurriedly turned around and went to the main hall to pay a respect.

"Junior Zhou Zhengchun, meet the seniors of the Lord."

In the main hall, Zhou Chun bowed down and saluted respectfully after seeing Qing Weizi sitting upright.

Seeing this, Qing Weizi couldn't help but wave his hand and said: "Zhou Xiaoyou doesn't need to be polite, I called Xiaoyou over today because I learned that Xiaoyou was behind the door, and I just wanted to ask Xiaoyou about something." ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun suddenly looked sincerely frightened and hurriedly saluted: "The seniors are serious, how can the juniors be virtuous, how can they dare to be worthy of the seniors to ask for advice, the seniors have a place to be useful to the juniors, although they are instructed." ”

"I know that your Zhou family is good at the art of beast control, and has unique achievements in the art of beast control, I don't know if there is any research in the art of insect repellent?"

Qing Weizi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked softly.

When Zhou Chun heard this, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately replied respectfully: "Lord Guan Mingjian, the art of beast control and the art of repelling insects do have something in common, but my Zhou family does not know any insect repellent techniques, and my understanding of various demon insects is limited to the records recorded in the Demon Beast Atlas. ”

He didn't know why Qing Weizi would ask about the insect repellent technique, but his intuition told him that it was best not to say anything more about this kind of thing.

But Qing Weizi didn't seem to have the intention of letting him pass easily.

After listening to Zhou Chun's answer, Qing Weizi's eyes just flashed slightly, and she suddenly waved her sleeves and handed an object to Zhou Chun.

"Then look at this thing, do you recognize this demon worm?"

Zhou Chunding looked at it, only to see that the thing that Qing Weizi handed to him was the corpse of an earthy yellow monster insect the size of a fist.

The strange insect looked a little like an ant, and it resembled a mole cricket, with sharp mouthparts and a pair of legs.

Such a strange demon insect, Zhou Chun also saw it for the first time.

He took the corpse of the monster insect in his hand, and after carefully observing it up and down, he shook his head at Qing Weizi and said: "The ancestor of the Lord Mingjian, the younger generation does not know this kind of demon insect, and the demon insect illustrated book in the family has not included the information of this kind of demon insect. ”

I thought that after answering this way, this matter should end here.

But what Zhou Chun didn't expect was that after Qing Weizi listened to his words, she talked about the origin of the demon insect in his hand.

"You don't know this kind of demon insect, and I don't know this kind of demon insect, but now this kind of demon insect has gathered in swarms and flooded in the Yang country, and now half of the Yang country has been destroyed by this insect plague, and hundreds of people and monks have been devoured by this demon insect!"

"It is estimated that the number of this demon insect in the Yang Kingdom is now in the hundreds of millions, and its population is so large that it is difficult to eliminate even the Yuan Infant Cultivator!"

"Now Yangguo is unable to curb the insect plague, so he can only send people everywhere to ask for help and collect good strategies for insect control, and at the same time, he has also issued a humanitarian distress order to all factions in the surrounding countries, asking all countries to send people to Yangguo to help resist the insect plague!"

Are even the infant monks helpless?

Zhou Chun's face changed, he looked at the corpse of the demon insect in his hand, and suddenly felt that this thing was very hot.

Only then did he know how Qing Weizi would suddenly summon him over to inquire about the insect repellent technique.

If what Qing Weizi said was not exaggerated, then this matter was really terrible.

Regarding the power of the insect plague, Zhou Chunke has seen a lot of records in the classics.

According to the classics, the biggest insect plague in this world is the "Soul Devouring Locust Plague" that occurred 10,000 years ago.

At that time, a demon insect called the "Soul Devouring Demon Locust" suddenly appeared, this insect was born with the ability to devour all spiritual power evolution, and the reproduction speed was very powerful.

Because at the beginning, this kind of demon insect only appeared in a certain alien territory, and failed to attract the attention of the human race immortal cultivation world, and by the time this demon insect became the climate, it was already very difficult to cure.

At that time, a powerful alien race was directly wiped out by this demon insect, and the countries of the human race also suffered heavy losses in the invasion of this demon insect, and more than a dozen monks in the Yuan Infant Stage fell!

Later, it was said that a certain sixth-order alien powerhouse unleashed an earth-shattering power, forcibly killed the most powerful insect king in the insect swarm and many fifth-order and fourth-order demon insects, and then gathered the strength of the human race and several alien races to forcibly extinguish this insect plague.

Since then, all the demon insects that have evolved from locusts have been swept away by the human race and various alien races, and they will be extinguished at the slightest sign of it.

That kind of "Soul Devouring Demon Locust" has been completely wiped out!

In addition to this "Soul Devouring Locust Plague", there have been many smaller insect plagues in the history of the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the past, and those insect plagues that are worthy of being recorded in the classics will take the lives of countless people every time they erupt.

There is no doubt that the insect plague that broke out in the Yang country at this time has now had signs that are enough to be recorded in the classics.

"Can the senior of the Lord tell me about the ability of this demon insect? What kind of ability does it have, even the great supernatural powers of the Yuan Infant Stage can hardly extinguish it! ”

Zhou Chun couldn't help but ask Qing Weizi for the information of the demon insect in his hand, and he also attached great importance to this matter.

"According to the people of Yangguo, this kind of demon insect has a strong ability to grow and adapt, they are just ordinary mortal insects when they are born, and their size is only a little larger than ordinary ants, but as long as they have enough food, they can grow to the size of the demon insect in your hands within a month."

"They are born to burrow into the ground, and after their first evolution, they will evolve wings and have the ability to fly, and at the same time, their teeth are extremely sharp, they can bite through flying swords of the same level, and they have extremely strong cutting ability like their feet, and many will also evolve the ability to spit venom."

"And the most noteworthy thing about this kind of demon insect is that as long as they devour a certain attribute of spirit before the first mutation and evolution, they can awaken and master the magic power of that attribute, and continue to evolve at an extremely fast speed."

"The most terrifying thing is that when they advance to become second-order demon insects, this kind of demon insects can also have a high probability of evolving a second attribute power, making them even more powerful and difficult to destroy!"

"At present, there is even a worm king in Yangguo who is equivalent to a monk in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and with the blessing of the power of the insect swarm, it is difficult to kill it even if the monk of the late Yuan Infant stage personally shoots!"

Qing Weizi didn't hide her selfishness at all, and soon told Zhou Chun the truth about the information she knew from the Yang State envoy.

And just listening to his relay, Zhou Chun could also feel the horror in it.

It grows and evolves quickly, it can drill into the ground and fly into the sky, it reproduces extremely fast, and it also has a strong mutation ability!

When these abilities are combined into a demon insect, it is very terrifying.

When he couldn't help but say: "According to the statement of the predecessors of the Guan Lord, the power of the insect plague is already so huge, I am afraid that it is difficult for ordinary disaster extinguishing methods to work, even if you can find a way to restrain those ordinary demon insects, it will be difficult to deal with those high-level demon insects!" ”

But after Qing Weizi heard what he said, she shook her head slightly and said: "You are wrong, if you can find a way to eliminate ordinary demon insects, you can fundamentally prevent the demon insect population from continuing to expand, and then prevent more demon insects from evolving into high-level demon insects." ”

"As long as the number of high-level demon insects does not continue to replenish and grow, and the size of the insect colony is continuously eliminated and reduced, it will not be difficult to eliminate the insect plague!"

Speaking of which, Qing Weizi finally said her true intention of summoning Zhou Chun.

"Since the Yang Kingdom has issued a humanitarian distress order, then for the sake of the overall situation of the unity of the human race, this sect, the Moon Wheel Sect, and the Yanyang Sect will definitely send people to the Yang Kingdom to help eliminate the disaster."

"Zhou Xiaoyou, since your family is proficient in the art of beast control, and has research on demon beasts and demon insects, you might as well send a few people to go to Yang Country with the monks of this sect."

"If the Zhou family can really play a big role in eliminating the insect plague, the seniors of the Yang Kingdom will definitely be rewarded afterwards!"

But it turned out that he wanted the Zhou family to also send people to participate in the queue to support the Yang Kingdom, and wanted to use the Zhou family's attainments in the art of beast control to try to find a way to eliminate the insect plague.

I have to say that Qing Weizi's abacus is very good.

The Zhou family, as a cultivator family under the jurisdiction of the Qinglian Temple, if it really made a lot of contributions to the elimination of insect plagues, then the benefits of the Qinglian Temple would definitely be much more than that of the Zhou family.

And even if the Zhou family didn't make any effort, Qinglian Guan didn't lose anything.

Fortunately, Qing Weizi's tone was not harsh, and she used a consultative tone, which made Zhou Chun's heart settle down a lot.

Immediately replied respectfully: "The meaning of the seniors of the Lord is understood, and the juniors will talk to the elders about this matter after returning to the family, and see what the elders mean." ”
