Chapter 393: The elusive scrub worm

The overwhelming locusts have turned the surrounding red land for thousands of miles, countless villages and farmlands into barrenness, and the people who have not had time to flee into the county town have been eaten by the locusts, leaving only white skeletons, and finally buried under the loess.

Buzz Buzz......

Hundreds of thousands of locusts chased the Surin cart across the desert. In the back of the car, Su Lin and Su Ye were constantly releasing holy power spells. But these holy power spells, bombarding the entire army of locusts, are still a drop in the bucket.

If it was one or two locusts, it wouldn't be able to stop a holy power spell of this strength at all. But now, hundreds of thousands of locusts are united, venom erupts, and even the spells of the Great Confucian may be broken.

Therefore, the Holy Power Spell of Su Lin and the others had little effect, and they could only kill a dozen locusts sporadically. Fortunately, the speed of the Surin car is very fast, so it is possible to walk in a zigzag shape without being surrounded by an army of locusts.

"It's terrifying!Su Lin, even if our spells are some low-level demon beasts, they can kill a lot of them if they are bombarded like this. But what a single locust that seems to be extremely weak now, once it gathers into a swarm, it will become so terrifying!"

The holy power in Su Ye's wisdom has almost been exhausted, and now he is sitting in the car and is beginning to recover, and said with concern in his heart.

If a locust represents a trace of a thought, then now, it can be said that the power of this kind of thought is increased by hundredfold and thousands of times. Our Holy Power Spell is too weak compared to such a power of thought. ”

Unlike Su Ye and them, Su Lin looked at the army of millions of locusts, and what he saw was not the venom and strength of the army of locusts on the surface, but the thought it represented.

Just as the beast represented the "old" thoughts, Su Lin felt in his heart from the beginning that this locust must have been prompted by some kind of ideological force. As long as he is allowed to find the source of such thoughts, he can prescribe the right medicine and use ingenious methods to eradicate the locust plague at its root.

"Thoughts? right...... Surin, I also found out when I was looking up in the temple...... It seems that every time there is a locust plague in the Tianren Continent, it is not for no reason. It must also trigger a certain vein of thought, and it happens that such a vein of thought is easy to breed locusts and become the nest of the birth of these pests...... If we can find the nest where this locust was born, maybe...... It would have been easier to kill them!"

The scholar Ye Hongye also immediately nodded in agreement, locust plagues are not uncommon among the nine countries of the Tianren Continent, almost every few years, they will appear in one country, but all along, the Confucian scholars have only been able to kill the locusts on the surface, and have not found the root cause, so the locusts can occur again and again, and they have not been completely exterminated.

"That's how I think of it, but Lao Ye, now we still have to hide in Liu County as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won't be able to figure out what these locusts are coming from, and we'll have to make them their meal first. ”

Su Lin ordered to go down again, and let the few family members who drove the Su Lin car drive at full power, and the entire Su Lin car immediately flew out and drove towards Naliu County.

However, the closer he got to Naliu County, Su Lin found that something was wrong. It seems that what kind of crisis is hidden underground, this is an intuition of danger, and the scholar Ye Hongye also frowned, glanced at Su Lin, and nodded to each other.

"Shizi, do you feel it too?" asked Ye Hongye with a solemn gaze.

"Yes, Lao Ye, there seems to be something underneath this ground...... It's not good for us! It's so obvious that murderous aura is so obvious......"

Su Lin was not too panicked, after all, Su Lin's car was fast enough, and he also had a lot of hole cards in his hand, so there was no need to be afraid of an unknown threat hidden underground.

"Underground? Surin, could it be...... This time it was the outbreak of locusts and scrubs, and now we only see locusts, I'm afraid...... Scrub bugs are the ...... that hide underground, ready to attack us."

Su Ye hadn't finished saying this, and suddenly, under the loess that Su Lin's car had just driven by, three or four scrub insects the size of a human head suddenly sprang out, with spikes on their mouths, four pairs of wings, and their eyes were very fierce, buzzing and glaring at Su Linche who had escaped, and then immediately burrowed into the ground.

"Sure enough, it's a scrub, Shizi, it seems...... No wonder there is no human population around at all, not even a single citizen fleeing the famine, and even if there is, it has already been eaten by scrub worms and locusts......

Ye Hongye, a scholar, stood at the front of the car, and directly smashed the ground on both sides of the Surin car with a holy power spell, and then saw countless scrub insects lurking underground, like hunters who patiently caught their prey, and suddenly poked them with the spikes on their mouths.

Brush Brush Brush Brush ......

Patches of loess were poked up from under the ground, and scrub worms the size of a human head crawled out one after another, and then buzzed to rush up to the Surin car. It's just a pity that the speed of the Surin car was driven to the extreme, and these scrub insects couldn't catch up at all, so they could only reluctantly dive into the ground again.

"This scrub worm...... How can there be such a big head? Ordinary scrub worms are usually the size of a finger? How can each of the scrub worms lurking here be the size of a head? This is too ...... It's terrifying, isn't it?"

Su Ye and Su Huang were all startled when they saw such a scrub worm, they had also seen scrub worms before, but they were all the thumb-sized kind. And now the scrub insect in front of me is dozens or hundreds of times bigger, especially the spike on the mouth, which makes people chill when they look at it.

"Yes, old Ye, what's going on? The scrub worms I know are only the size of a thumb, but these scrub bugs here are the size of heads, and they have become more elusive. If we were not riding in a Surin carriage today, but in an ordinary carriage, I am afraid ...... Horses have already been eaten by scrub bugs, and if we don't get out of it in time, we will become food for scrub bugs. ”

Looking at the scrub insects that came out one after another on the side of the road, Su Lin couldn't help but shoot a "lip sword" past, and the sword transformed by the holy power crackled and pierced a scrub insect on the side of the road, only to see that the green and yellow juice inside was immediately sprayed out. These juices were very disgusting, and they were very toxic and corrosive, and Su Lin saw with his own eyes that the yellow earth around them was stained with juice and sunken down, and there was a disgusting smell.

"Shizi, these scrub worms seem to be adults...... According to ancient records, scrub insect larvae are usually only the size of a thumb, and generally lurk in the grass and barren forests, waiting for humans and animals to rest in the grass, they will secretly use the spikes in their mouths to pierce into the bodies of people and animals, and then burrow into them, and begin to eat the flesh and blood of humans and animals from the inside out!"

The green and yellow juice really made the scholar Ye Hongye sick, he thought of the records about scrub insects in ancient books, so he said seriously, "The scrub insects that burrow into the human body will eventually suck a person up, leaving only a skin sac." And in the end, such a scrub worm may become the size of a fist, and then crawl out of a hole in the skin...... And now we see scrub worms the size of human heads, I'm afraid ...... I don't know how many adults I have eaten from the people of my Wu Kingdom or livestock!"

"It turned out to be the size of a thumb, this ...... How many people do you have to eat to grow to the size of a human head......? The monarch's decree is not wrong, and now the insect infestation in Wu has reached a very serious level. It's not just the fertile fields and crops that have been eaten, but even the people of my Wu Kingdom don't know how many people have lost their lives......

When Su Lin heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked. Even Confucian scholars like them, who have treasures and holy power spells, can only barely escape for their lives, and those ordinary people who are unarmed and can't spell magic are even more conceivable.

"Yes, Shizi, so we must now take advantage of the fact that the insect pest has not spread out from Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, and immediately exterminate these scrub insects and locusts, otherwise...... Fear...... The people of our Wu country are not one out of ten. ”

Ye Hongye, a bachelor who had never seen such a severe insect infestation, looked at the surroundings that had become barren, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Lao Ye, you're right. It is no wonder that the monarch even put down the border guards, preferring to have the army rush to these two states to exterminate the insects, as well as the Confucian scholars sent by the temple and other countries to assist, believing that as long as they arrived...... Together, we can eradicate the pest completely. ”

Su Lin had already seen the county gate of Liu County from a distance, and he was slightly relieved in his heart. However, the bet between him and Fang Junjie still had to be made, Su Lin saw such a powerful army of locusts and scrub worms today, and he had already begun to think about it in his heart, and the three thoughts began to constantly analyze and think about these locusts and scrub worms he saw, looking for their representative thoughts and weaknesses.

"Shizi! Liu County is about to arrive...... But their gates were closed, and we were followed by so many locusts...... Seemingly...... You have to go around in a circle and get rid of the locusts before you can enter the city!"

Seeing the army of locusts that was tirelessly chasing behind him, although not all of them were millions, but there were more than 100,000 of them, Ye Hongye, a scholar, immediately ordered the front of the car to turn around, first moving at full speed in the opposite direction of Liu County, and then took advantage of the fact that the locusts did not react, and quickly turned the head of the car again and rushed towards Liu County.
