Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1221 The choice at a critical juncture
A locust sounds like an insignificant insect, its body is no bigger than a thumb, and it can be crushed to death without any effort.

However, when the number reaches tens of thousands, there will be no grass growing in their path. This is an absolute disaster for the people who depend on the land for their livelihood.

Changsun Tao said: "Going out from here is a wasteland that has been almost eaten away."

Lan Lingling said: "It's good to gnaw them all! Then the locusts won't be able to survive if they don't have anything to eat."

Sima Xuanmo rolled his eyes at her: "Have you heard of the saying that hungry people don't choose their food? What will they eat if there is no grass? Eat/You idiot!"

Lan Lingling glared at him fiercely: "Your whole family is stupid, including your three, six, and eighteen generations of ancestors. They are all big fools."

Everyone: "..."

Sima Xuanmo glanced at the people next to him maliciously, indicating that Lan Lingling had offended many people this time.

After all, his relatives accounted for more than half of this group of people.

Lan Lingling quickly stopped talking and pretended as if nothing had happened.

Lu Mingyu didn't care and focused on the problems he might face.

She took out a jar of something like honey from the skin bag and wrapped it in cotton cloth.

Nangong Suisui asked in confusion: "Yu'er, what are you doing? What are you doing with honey at this time?"

Lu Mingyu explained: "Second sister-in-law, this is resin. You have to prepare some fire. If you encounter locusts later, you can block it for a while."

Nangong Suisui looked at the two big bags on Xiao Hei and Xiao Hong's backs and wondered, "When did you prepare everything so well?"

Lu Mingyu said: "This is prepared by Qin Ning. It is indeed very complete."

After the tools for igniting the fire were prepared, Lu Mingyu suggested that everyone use outer clothing to cover all the exposed skin.

After preparing everything, everyone chatted and walked through the strange rocks to the desolate flat land.

Changsun Tao suddenly stopped and was almost hit by Lu Mingyu.

"Why did you stop suddenly?"

Changsun Tao looked solemn and said: "The situation has changed."

Everyone looked back and saw that the strange stone forest had disappeared.

Yes, disappeared into thin air without a trace.

At the same time, several little guys became increasingly restless.

Lu Mingyu picked up Mingzhu and Huihui, and patted Xiaohong and Xiaohei's necks with Changsun Tao respectively to express comfort.

However, the little guys did not calm down.

The two minks were scurrying back and forth on Lu Mingyu's body, and the two horses were also kicking.

Everyone knew the danger was coming and had already prepared to light the rosin.

They looked around and above with vigilance, but for a long time they didn't see the sound of grasshoppers flapping their wings.

Just when they thought it was just a false alarm, the soil on the ground suddenly became fluffy, and then small bulges formed one after another.

As the soil bag grew larger, things began to come out of the soil.

It was a glossy black locust with a hard mouthpart and narrow and tough forewings that covered the hind wings. The hind wings were as thin as cicada wings and had all the characteristics of ordinary locusts.

However, the ominous black color glowed with an eerie color in the sunlight.

"ignition!"

Changsun Tao gave an order.

Everyone lit the resin-wrapped cotton cloth, and the fire ignited with a "boom".

The fire was raging, making a beeping sound.

A protective circle was formed, surrounding everyone.

As locusts emerged from the soil in endless streams, the rustling of their wings stung every nerve in the world.

What an ominous sound, one sound, two sounds... one after another, converging into a deafening sound of flapping wings.

The sky is filled with black insects, covering the clouds to avoid the sun.

In an instant, the world seemed to be plunged into darkness, with only the light of fire flickering, covering everyone's faces with a strange red light.

Thousands of locusts, like wolves that have been hungry for a long time, pounce on the delicious prey with all their strength.

Changsun Tao took Lu Mingyu into his arms and held the torch high.

Everyone also held torches and surrounded those who needed protection.

There is such a tacit understanding without any words.

A wave of locusts rushed over, and the smaller torches were extinguished.

Everyone's exposed hands had several wounds that were deep enough to show the bones, causing everyone to break out in a cold sweat.

As the sound of flapping wings recedes and recedes, the second wave of locusts is coming.At this moment, Yun Fei, who had been supported by the guards, suddenly opened his eyes.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to push out his six guards.

Just after several guards left the fire ring, the locusts twisted into several strands, wrapping around the guards like giant black snakes.

In just a few blinks, the locusts dispersed and gathered like dark clouds in the sky.

Where the six guards were, there were only piles of bones.

This eating speed made everyone open their eyes in shock.

Only then did they realize what a sharp mouth this black locust had.

The sound of flapping wings started again, and Yun Fei shouted weakly: "Fire Ganoderma!"

Yao Niang understood what he meant, and regardless of everything, she stepped out from the crowd, held the Fire Ganoderma in her hand, and raised it high.

"what!"

The locust's wings are like swords, and when it is instigated, the sound is particularly painful to the eardrums.

Yao Niang screamed in fright.

But her face was particularly resolute, and she looked as if she was ready to die.

But at this moment, the Fire Ganoderma in Yao Niang's hand "boomed" and a huge fire dragon flew up.

The red dragon hovered in the air, swept, stirred, and exploded.

The terrifying locusts that filled the sky were burned to ashes and destroyed.

All this only happened in an instant.

It was locusts that ate people, but they were instantly eliminated by the fire Ganoderma that could burn away all evil in the world.

A gust of wind passed by quickly, blowing away the remaining smoke.

There was still a small group of locusts that wanted to attack again. Changsun Tao shook off the cotton cloth wrapped around the sword body and raised his sword to sweep across.

The strong wind whipped up by the sword energy directly crushed the remaining locusts.

The little guys are no longer restless.

Yun Fei lost the support of his guards and heaved a sigh of relief before falling to the ground.

He covered his shoulders and looked at the piles of bones without sadness or joy.

Lan Lingling opened her mouth, wanting to mock him for being cold-blooded and ruthless, but she still swallowed the words.

During this trip, Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao left the secret guards on the boat to assist them, and only brought one Ah Liu with them.

As for Yun Fei, he brought a total of six guards.

But now, none of the six guards survived.

Sima Xuanmo stretched out his hand to Yun Fei: "I will help you."

Just three words contain too many emotions.

A few of them would make choices when necessary, but they would never be as decisive as Yun Fei.

Nor would he trade the life of his guard for his own life like Yun Fei did.

Even if they fight to the end, they will never give up on anyone.

Precisely because they couldn't do this kind of thing, they had a little more admiration for Yun Fei mixed with many emotions.

After all, it was such "cold-bloodedness" that saved everyone's lives.

Yun Fei did not reach out to him. He endured the pain of the wound and tried to smile: "What is King Xingyang's look like? Sympathy or fear?"

Sima Xuanmo was speechless for a moment.

Yun Fei said nonchalantly: "I am such a person, why do you look at me with complicated expressions? It is their duty to protect me, they are born for this."

Indeed, even if Yun Fei changed his appearance, he changed from Wu Ti to what he is today.

so what?

All he had changed was his name, but other than that, he was still the same person, the one who was ruthless and would do whatever it took to achieve his goals.

Changsun Tao withdrew his gaze, glanced at the pits formed by the locusts breaking out of the soil, and stabbed the soil a few times with his sword. He said with a serious expression: "Let's rest here today, but the soil is full of locust eggs. We They need to find an outlet before they take shape.”

Needless to say, everyone understands the rest.

This time, Yunfei sacrificed six guards to destroy the locusts, but if it happened again, they would have to fight hard.

So finding the exit became a top priority.
