Chapter 105: Success
"That might be the way to go. Yue Ru nodded after listening to Nezha's words, but he also had his own concerns, "If those desolate insects appear in groups, they are very likely to produce abnormal changes, and they are extremely powerful, and it is difficult for ordinary nets to trap them." ”
"There is no need to be trapped for a long time, only the ability to fly is limited for a short time. Nezha shook his head and said.
"It's possible to limit its ability to fly for a short period of time, but it will take a little time to break through the net. Yue Ru stared at Nezha and said.
"In that case, we just need to prepare enough grease for the nets to soak and then spray them in the preparation section. When Nezha paused for a moment, he saw Yue Ru's eyes light up, and then said, "When the time comes, a big fire is enough, if you are really worried about the escape of the desolate insects, you can divide it into pieces, divide the entire desolate insect swarm into three or five areas, and then eliminate them separately, we have enough manpower." ”
"I'm afraid that three or five will not work, and there will be more than ten nets. Yue Ru said with a wry smile.
"Hmm, senior sister, how many desolate insects are expected to be there this time?" Nezha asked in surprise with a raised brow.
"It is preliminarily estimated that there are more than 2,000 ......," Yue Ru said in a deep voice.
"More than 2,000 ......" Nezha couldn't help but jump in his heart after hearing it, although this is a low-level demon beast, but because of its particularity, gathering more than 2,000 is more difficult to deal with than encountering more than 100 demon beasts of level 5 or 6.
After all, if there were more than a hundred sixth-level demon beasts, or even sixth-level or above demon beasts, it would be easy to destroy them by relying on the strength of the Water Mirror Sect.
However, it is more troublesome to clean up more than 2,000 wild insects, although they can also be killed, but they also have to take into account the loss of medicinal materials.
The elixir in the door is refined, and almost all of it is collected from this elixir valley.
Naturally, there were other elixirs in the mountains, but they were not easy to collect, and the quantity was not enough to supply the consumption of the Water Mirror Sect.
"I will report the method to the senior of the drug administration, if it can be done, you will be credited. Yue Ru glanced at Nezha, nodded and said.
"Then thank you Senior Sister Yueru. Nezha nodded in thanks.
Yao Lao was the one who happened to have time to rest that day, just in time for Nezha to enter the valley and send Nezha here, at this time Nezha already knew the identity of this person, and he was the person in charge of the Elixir Valley.
He can speak in the door.
Senior Sister Yue had already left, and Zhao Heng looked at this Senior Brother Li with envy.
I really didn't expect that this Senior Brother Li was so lucky, how could he look like he could do anything.
"Senior Brother Zhao, let's start acting too. Nezha turned his head to look at his medicine field and said with a smile.
"What are we?" Zhao Heng said in surprise.
"Gather all the grass and trees that were almost the same as they were dried in the open land, and fill in the ravines. Nezha went straight into action.
"Is Senior Brother Li going to ignite it directly when the time comes, disperse the wild insects, and prevent the birth of insect eggs?" Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.
"Well, let's be prepared, if the door can quickly kill the demon beast, it will be easy, if you can't give birth to the eggs at that time, it will be troublesome, and it is extremely cumbersome to clean up. Nezha nodded and said.
"Yes, let's do it now. ”
After three or four days of drying, the plants and trees have begun to dry a little, and some of them are still a little wet.
Nezha got all of them on top of the ploughed wasteland.
"I said Senior Brother Li, you wouldn't have reached the desolate insect earlier, right?" When everything was in order, Zhao Heng said with satisfaction.
"What kind of ability do I have, these plants and trees were originally burned directly in the ground after drying, although they can't provide spiritual power, but they can provide fertilizer for the Gathering Spirit Grass, help the growth of the Spirit Gathering Grass, and can also burn all kinds of insect eggs in the soil. ”
"It's such a good way, why didn't anyone think of it before. Zhao Heng said a little depressed.
Nezha smiled and didn't say much, in fact, it was not unexpected, this world pays more attention to personal powerlessness, and the land is quite fertile, *** people put more attention on these farming thoughts.
Even if it is a sect that cultivates spiritual herbs and elixirs, such as the Elixir Valley, it actually pays more attention to the convergence of spiritual energy and promotes the quality of spiritual energy.
This method is really of limited use to the spirit grass, that is, it has a slight effect on ordinary crops or this rudimentary spirit gathering grass.
The two of them could already see from a distance that the valley was suddenly bustling again.
Yao Lao appeared from time to time among the people of the valley.
For Nezha, a disciple who is doing a task, the sect will generally not call it when it encounters this kind of thing, and let them protect their own medicine fields.
Therefore, Nezha doesn't need to go to help, even if he goes, he will be driven back.
"It seems that my proposal has been adopted. "When it was getting dark, the valley was still preparing everything, and from time to time a large net was connected, and then someone was infecting the grease for experiments.
The Water Mirror Sect moved extremely fast, and by the next day it had prepared all the necessary materials, and everything seemed to be calm again.
At the same time, on the second day, Nezha finally knew that the reason for the appearance of this group of wild insects was because there was a special heavy rain in an area south of Shuijing Sect, and there was some abnormal drought last year, which caused the gathering of wild insects in the jungle.
These days, many sect disciples have gone out to exterminate the desolate insects, and this one is a fish that has slipped through the net, gathering together, because there is a huge elixir valley here, like a candle flame in the dark night attracting moths, directly rushing to this side.
Although there were constant interceptions and killings on the way, nearly 3,000 desolate insects still rushed here.
Finally, on the third day when everyone was ready, a very small number of desolate insects began to appear in the Elixir Valley, and everyone began to prepare nervously.
Sure enough, less than two hours after a small number of desolate insects appeared, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded from above the valley, and then a black and oppressive dark cloud of desolate insects rushed towards the elixir valley!
These wild insects obviously fly at an altitude of less than two meters, but the strange thing is that these wild insects can use the distance between the ground and the body as their own flight limit!
"It's coming. Nezha stood quietly on top of his wasteland, staring at the barren insects, and muttered in a low voice.
Nezha's eyesight was excellent, and he could see that every desolate insect was the size of a fist, and the inciting wings made a buzzing sound that swept in.
The high-grade medicine field, which exuded a strong aura of elixir, became the primary target of these desolate insects, and rushed there.
The dense formation of people looking at it has some scalp tingling.
There are disciples in the sect who wield their sword qi to disperse this group of desolate insects, but the effect is extremely low, and they have landed in front of them in the blink of an eye.
"Open the formation!" Yao Lao's resolute voice sounded, and suddenly layers of white light began to appear, enveloping one high-grade medicine field after another.
However, the formation was limited, and those desolate insects saw that they were blocked, and turned around and rushed to other medicine fields.
There are cultivators who swing their swords and slash, but they can't stop them at all.
Nezha even saw from a distance that several inner disciples were directly knocked to the ground by the Chengquan Desolate Worm, and were quickly rescued by other disciples, if it was too late, I am afraid that they would be directly gnawed by these terrible desolate insects that had mutated because of the gathering!
Some of the medicinal herbs that were not yet ripe were emptied in the blink of an eye.
"Ignition!" the angry medicine boss shouted from afar, "Smoke!"
"It's coming......" Nezha whispered in his heart.
In Nezha's eyes, walls of fire suddenly rose in the vertical and horizontal fields of the attacked medicine fields, and thick smoke rose up, instantly dividing this demon beast cloud into more than ten pieces.
Then, more than a dozen disciples each held a thick fire with thick smoke and dark flames in each of the divided areas, constantly shrinking the encirclement, driving the desolate insects to continuously converge in one direction.
And in that direction is a long time ago, a net infested with grease.
Seeing that those wild insects were driven into the net, dozens of disciples appeared carrying buckets of grease.
In order to prevent accidental injury, these disciples have been prepared for a long time, and they are wearing special clothes one by one, and they have true qi to protect their bodies, but they are not afraid of fire and high temperature in a short time.
Between the mouth and nose, there is a water-soaked rag that Nezha proposed before.
"Release!" When the desolate insect was expelled into the trap, a gleam flashed in Yao Lao's eyes, and he shouted again.
With a loud "boom", flames rose and then joined together to form a lake of fire.
The shrill cries of the desolate insects sounded, as if sensing the coming of the apocalypse, and the will to survive of the race finally broke through the fear of fire aversion, and more than 200 desolate insects actually rushed out of the sea of fire and scattered in all directions.
"This is to lay eggs and give birth to offspring!" Nezha's eyes moved, seeing some of the wild insects rushing to this side, and he did not hesitate to ignite the dead branches of the grass and trees on the loess.
But there was no grease spilled on it, and he didn't want the place he had made out to be barren.
The speed of the wild insects is extremely fast, and when they were about to reach Nezha, they didn't expect that a fire suddenly lit up here, and they immediately scattered, and then without waiting for Nezha to start strangling, they exploded directly one by one.
"This is the laying of eggs...... Nezha's expression changed, and under his gaze, each wild insect exploded into more than ten pieces, and after landing, there was an egg wriggling on each piece, wanting to run into the ground to absorb the earth's qi.
There was a cracking sound from time to time, Nezha did not hesitate at all, and after seeing these eggs clearly, he had already rushed to various landing points to clean up the eggs, especially those close to his own medicine field.
Zhao Heng in the distance also hurriedly took action.
A fire extinguished 90% of the wild insects, which simply relieved everyone's hearts, but except for a few of the more than 200 wild insects that escaped around, most of them took the initiative to explode and turn into insect eggs.
Fortunately, there were plenty of people and they moved very quickly.
Most of the eggs have been cleaned up when they have not completely invaded the ground, and some eggs that are too late or not found are also very few, and it is difficult to form a climate, and even if they appear again, they will be directly destroyed.
And there are traces of each insect egg before it escapes into the ground, and the next two days will be carefully searched, and these insect eggs may really become a fish that has slipped through the net.
The most important thing is that although the besieged desolate insects were dying and exploding, they did not expect that Yao Lao had already sprinkled a layer of inflammable materials that invaded grease in those places, and the eggs were burned to ashes by the fire as soon as they landed.
At this point, the wild insects that had made everyone feel like they were facing a great enemy were almost cleaned up in one day.
It's just that in the area besieging the barren insects, more than ten medicinal fields have been completely abandoned, and the herbs have been burned by the fire, especially the land has been infected and burned by oil, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover within two years.
However, compared to the previous method of strangling the desolate insects, this is already the best result and the smallest loss to bear.
Finally, on the ninth day when Nezha entered the Elixir Valley, on the field that had been processed, Nezha and Zhao Heng sowed the first batch of Gathering Spirit Grass**.
At the same time, Yue Ru also brought Nezha a piece of good news, because of this merit, Yao Lao proposed that the sect had agreed that Nezha did not need to participate in various competitions and would directly reward him with enough points.
This also means that Nezha can save at least a year and a half, as long as he completes the task of the medicine field and refining the bone marrow meridians, he can become a disciple of the inner court to practice various exercises.
Nezha didn't know at this time that he would become the personal disciple of the second elder Feng Qingyun......
"I really envy you. Zhao Hengmu sent Senior Sister Yue Ru, who told Nezha the news, to leave, and couldn't help patting Nezha's shoulder with envy.
"It's just a fluke. Nezha said.
"I don't like to listen to it, I'm obviously happy in my heart, I have to say anything lucky......" Zhao Heng shook his head speechlessly, "Forget it, I'll hurry up and take care of my Gathering Spirit Grass." ”
Time flies, and it seems that the sect is still quiet, at least in Nezha's eyes.
Two months later.
"Congratulations, junior brother, the medicine field has been promoted to a third-level medicine field, and your task is complete. Yue Ru looked at Nezha in front of him with some sighs, this little junior brother still gave himself a lot of surprises in two months.
Even Yao Lao personally praised Nezha's behavior, and many pioneering methods were adopted by the Elixir Valley.
"Thank you sister for taking care of me during this time. Nezha said with a smile, and he was a little emotional for a while, at least these two months were the longest days for him to relax in this world.
"Why should I thank me. Yue Ru said with a smile, "You have been cultivating in the medicine field for the past two months, which has invisibly stimulated the speed at which the Spirit Gathering Grass gathers spiritual power, and your method of grass ash and cutting off several grass stems has given us a lot of inspiration in the Spirit Medicine Valley, which has helped me a lot." ”
Nezha smiled when he heard this.
In two months, I have already practiced the introductory exercises to the fullest, and the third task has also been completed, and I have been reborn, and my strength is twice as strong as before.
The meridians are widened by three points and are extremely stable.
Even Xiu Wei faintly broke through the Great Warrior again, and the Martial Artist Beginner Realm seemed to be within reach.
"After today's acceptance, the junior brother can go back with this jade plate, and then after handing over the affairs of the outer courtyard, the senior brother of the inner courtyard will take you to the inner courtyard. ”
"Senior sister, we'll have a meeting later. Nezha bowed solemnly.
Zhao Heng, who was about to complete the task in the distance, saw that the movement was coming, and without saying a word, he saluted Nezha.
Without Nezha's help, he really didn't know what to do.
Seeing that he could complete the most difficult task in another month, he was naturally happy and full of gratitude to Nezha.
"Senior Brother Zhao, there will be a period later. Nezha returned the salute, turned around and glanced at the humble abode that had been in the Water Mirror Sect for the longest time, and then got up and floated away.
