Chapter 689: The Worm Emerges
A powerful monk in the late stage of Jindan was enough to support a medium-sized immortal cultivation family for three or five hundred years, until the fall of Da Neng, and no one among the younger disciples could advance to Jindan, and after his family path fell, this miscellaneous book flowed out.
The existence of the Barbarian Land immediately caused panic among the two major sects in the Western Wilderness, and even the Barbarian Imperial Court expressed great concern about it.
According to the miscellaneous records, the land of the borer is more than 100,000 miles northwest of the imperial border, which is not close, but not far. What everyone is worried about is that if this moth swarm further multiplies and grows, it will cause the legendary plague of borers and invade the Western Wilderness.
Then, in addition to the Linyuan Great City with super strong defense, even a mega city of the level of Cangshan County City could not escape the catastrophe. As for the large sects such as the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts or the Cangshan Academy, if they were affected by the plague of the borer, although they would not be destroyed, they did not know how many lives of the Jindan Ancestor would be filled.
The adult body of the borer, its size is slightly smaller than the adult body of the monarch ant, its ability to bite and gnaw is not as good as the monarch ant, but the defense and vitality is extremely strong, not only can resist the blow of the giant, but also not afraid of water and fire. The most effective means for the Terran monks to deal with the beast tide and insect plague is precisely the Taoist method of covering a large area and the water and fire attributes that can kill a large area.
Less than half a year after the miscellaneous records about the Barbarian Land were circulated, the Jindan ancestors of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley and Cangshan Academy at that time could no longer sit still, and seven or eight Jindan took turns to go to the depths of the northwest of the Barbarian Wilderness, hoping to find this dangerous place. And Yin Valve, who was stationed in the Western Wilderness, also said that once he found the land of the barbarian moth, he would go to the imperial court, ready to join forces with the three or two Yuanying of the Wu clan, and several families would join forces to eliminate this hidden danger of the disaster in one fell swoop.
The main reason is that the northwest territory contained in the miscellaneous records is mountainous and watery, not only the mountains are high and the water is extremely complex, but there are many fierce beasts, among which there are many fierce beasts, many of which are above the demon king.
As a major source of the Wild Beast Tide, the Northwest Territory was regarded as a forbidden area by the Terrans five or six thousand years ago, and very few monks went to that area. Geographically, the large foothills of the northwest and the east-west direction, and the Okura Mountain, which crosses the wilderness, do not come from the same lineage.
The northwest foothills, many hills, many dangerous peaks and strange peaks, many water and forests, and the main vein is unknown, showing a large area of nearly a million miles of net-like mountainous areas, the human monks call this mountainous area Xingmangling. There were once powerful monks who researched and explored, believing that the peculiar foothills of Xingmangling should be the extreme northern glaciers originating in the far north. However, there are many who disagree with this statement, because there are large wilderness plains between Xingmang Ridge and the glaciers of the Far North, and although there are occasional small foothills that crisscross the horizon, there is no endless huge foothill that connects the two.
The problem is that the area of this Xingmangling is too big, and the Jindan ancestors who wrote the miscellaneous notes are not clearly marked, and as a result, the Jindan ancestors of the two major sects have penetrated into the period more than ten times, and the time span before and after is nearly a hundred years, and they still have nothing. With the passage of time, the sense of crisis that is like a man's back gradually fades.
Calculating the time, nearly a thousand years have passed since the time when the borer land was discovered, and if the borer population can really develop and grow, the so-called borer plague should have come a long time ago. Some people optimistically estimate that the insect swarm may encounter some natural enemies or accidents, not only will they fail to grow, but they may have been wiped out long ago, and some people even doubt the authenticity of their miscellaneous records.
More than two thousand years have passed, and even Yin Valve Yuanying, who took the lead in investigating this matter, has fallen for many years, and the land of the barbarian has been lost in the dust raised by the wheel of time like countless historical legends.
More than ten years ago, a beast tide that swept through Okura Mountain evoked people's memories of the "land of savages". The scale of the beast tide is not large, but thanks to the Eagle Yang Army sent by Cangshan County and the high-level monks of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts to support, the three small families of Kokurayama escaped the disaster of annihilation.
The attacking demon beasts were all killed by foreign aid, and the blood and fur of the demon beast spirits harvested after that naturally also belonged to the monks and soldiers of Cangshan County and the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. In the process, a general of the Eagle Yang Army and a foundation monk of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts had a small dispute, and both sides found the body of a fourth-level rock wolf behind a boulder at the same time. The partial general proposed to divide the body of the rock wolf and get half of the family, but the monks of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts reluctantly agreed, but demanded the ownership of the blood in their hearts.
The general's cultivation was only in the late stage of qi refining, and he was at a disadvantage in terms of momentum, so he had to agree. Unbeknownst to him, when he threw away the belly of the rock wolf, a black and ugly-looking beetle suddenly came out of it. The worm was bigger than a palm, and when it saw the air, it flapped its wings and swooped down on the general's face.
The general's cultivation is not high, but the experience of fighting and hunting is very rich, and the worm has been on full guard when it comes out of the belly of the rock wolf, but it still can't avoid the frontal surprise attack of the strange ugly beetle.
The beetle had thorns on its claws, and the two pairs of large jaws in its mouthparts were extremely sharp, and when it picked up the head of the general, it would not relax, no matter how the general slapped it, but only gnawed on the other faces.
The general screamed in pain, slapped the ugly beetle like crazy, and finally pulled out his waist knife and slashed at his own head. Although the knife was only a low-level magic weapon, its sharpness was far from being comparable to that of ordinary swords, and he slashed more than ten times at the house insect on his face with his spiritual power, leaving only a few faint marks on the insect armor. Not only was the insect not hacked to death, but it bit more happily, and in a moment the whole face of the general was gnawed into a white bone skeleton.
The general had no strength at the moment, so he could only roll on the ground with his head in his hands and howl miserably. Many of the soldiers and monks who were attracted by his cry also gasped when they saw his miserable condition, and their scalps were numb.
The monks of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts had a wider range of knowledge, and although they couldn't tell the origin of this insect for a while, they also loudly reminded that the demon insect was powerful, and everyone should not step forward easily.
The general rolled for a while and finally lost his strength, lying on the ground without a sound. Seeing that he was no longer saved, the monk of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts called out a fireball technique and attacked the monk's corpse, and the soldiers and monks next to him also took action, and for a while, the thunder behind the boulder was faint, and the fire was full of light, attracting General Yingyang and a true disciple of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
To everyone's expectations, this insect did not die under the fire attack of everyone, the corpse of the partial general had been burned into black charcoal, and the strange ugly beetle fluttered its wings and flew again, this time it also sensed the danger, no longer pounced on people but turned around and fled into the depths of the wilderness.
This insect is inconspicuous, but the speed of flying away is comparable to that of the imperial sword, and it passed over a group of disciples in the blink of an eye, but fortunately, the true disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts have some means, and they sacrificed the lazy dragon tendon given by the master with a clear drink, and stopped the ugly insect in the air, and tied it firmly.
Later, after the identification of Sun Lie, the great elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley Hidden Scripture Pavilion, it was suspected that this insect was the legendary borer.
The presence of the borer in the beast tide reminds people of the old things about the land of the borer. Fortunately, this time I finally have some clues, as long as you follow the route of the beast tide, you should be able to find the source of the borer.
According to the agreement of the three families, Cangshan also sent Jin Dan to unite the two elders of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, Mo Liang and Giant Ape, and Wu Qingyi of Cangshan County to go deep into Xingmang Ridge together.
At the beginning, the Jindan power did not talk nonsense, and the reason why the land of the borer has not been found is that in the miscellaneous records, the Jindan power repeatedly emphasized that there is a three-peak mountain that looks like a pen frame where the borer is infested. In fact, when all the Jin Dan traced the origin of the incoming beast tide and found the place where the borer came, it suddenly dawned on him that the Beacon Mountain had been flattened by almost all of the three peaks for some reason, and it had become a mess of rocks.
