Chapter 228: The clan is exterminated, the insect tide breaks out, and the Wanling Sect
Qiansang Garden where Cao Xueyang lives.
The singers were babbling and singing opera on the stage. The main protagonist Cao Xueyang was having fun playing with the girls in the Wanhua Pond. The messenger jade talisman was also put into the storage bag and placed in the Wanhua Pond. On the shelf, there was no message from the old patriarch at all.
Cao Xueyang spent the whole night in a pond of thousands of flowers.
The next day.
When dawn breaks.
When Cao Jialing got up to water the spiritual field, the scene in front of them was so frightening that their legs went weak.
On top of the spiritual field, not to mention the spiritual plants, even a single weed had been swept away, and the entire sky above the spiritual field was shrouded in dense black beetles.
Buzz buzz!
The moment the Yaotian magic circle is opened.
These black beetles immediately flapped their wings, and with a flash of black light, they disappeared from sight:
“Oh my god!”
“What on earth is going on?”
"Yesterday the spiritual field was fine. Why did so many black beetles suddenly come out?"
"It's over, it's over. Hundreds of spiritual plants in the spiritual field have been devoured. What should we do? ! ”
"Quick, go find the Second Master Xue"
Ling Zhifu ran to Lingzhi Hall rolling and crawling.
Since Cao Xueyang took over the Lingzhi Hall, he immediately replaced the old people who took care of the Lingzhi Hall. These people who took care of the Lingzhi Hall were all brought in through various connections, just hoping to find a leisurely position. This is why so many insect eggs appeared in the medicine field without any notice.
When several people ran to Lingzhi Hall.
Cao Xueyang had countless phoenixes last night and was so tired that he slept directly in the flower pond. A strange smell emitted from the air, and several people barged in carelessly.
Cao Xueyang, who was woken up, frowned:
“Look at how panicked you are, the sky is falling.”
It’s not that the sky is falling.
Lingzhifu fell to the ground tremblingly, shaking his body and said:
"Report to Er. The hundreds of acres of elixirs in Erye's spiritual field were all destroyed overnight. The black beetle devoured it all. Second Master, you better go and take a look. This black beetle flew out of the spiritual field without us paying attention. It may go somewhere else at this moment."
"What?"
Hundreds of acres of elixir were devoured overnight!
Cao Xueyang’s expression changed.
There was a crash and water splashed everywhere.
Cao Xueyang immediately jumped out of the Thousand Flower Pond. After coming out of his home, what he saw were black spots, and he saw densely packed black beetles adsorbed on the entire mountain guarding formation.
The black beetle was quickly devouring the light shield aura of the mountain guarding formation:
"What the hell is this?!"
Cao Xueyang's feet went soft.
Have you ever seen this posture before, you hurriedly ran to the formation center. At this time, the second elder Cao and the third elder Cao were driving magic spells into the formation center.
Buzz!
But the situation outside the Clan Mountain came into view.
But I saw that the whole world was completely dark.
Everything you see is black beetles, densely packed and endless, as if you are in a world of insect tides.
“Gudong!”
See this scene.
Cao Xueyang was so frightened that he took several steps back.
Because.
At this time, these black beetles were flying towards their tribe in an overwhelming manner, lying on the formation light mask, desperately devouring spiritual energy.
The inside should be combined with the outside.
I’m afraid it’s less than half a cup of tea.
The protective shield of the mountain array will be breached immediately.
Elder Cao said coldly:
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly help run the magic circle and kill the black beetle!"
Once hacked The beetles cooperated internally and externally, and the Jiangzushan formation was breached.
The consequences are disastrous.
After Cao Xueyang reacted, he quickly penetrated the center of the formation with spells one after another. Dots of white mist suddenly rose up in the formation. The white mist soon enveloped the entire Clan Mountain. The magic formation restriction was opened, transferring the black beetles inside and outside to the light shield. outside.
Just when they were about to activate the power of the magic circle to strangle this black beetle.
Buzz!
Unexpectedly, the operation of the magic circle suddenly stopped:
“What’s going on?”
Elder Cao Er used a spell to penetrate into the center of the formation, but he saw the underground spiritual veins coming into view. At this time, the spiritual veins contained densely packed black beetles.
In other words.
The entire spiritual vein is already composed of these black beetles.
The mountain-protecting formation is designed to extract the power of the spiritual veins. At this time, the spiritual veins and spiritual energy are exhausted. Wherever the magic circle can be operated, only a clicking sound can be heard.
The mask of the mountain guarding formation is already cracking rapidly.
"Lao San, activate the emergency spirit stone quickly!"
Once the inside and outside are lost.
I am afraid that they will also become the prey of these black beetles.
Cao Laosan struck a magic spell into the stone hall on the side. With a buzz, the stone hall opened, and then each medium-grade spiritual stone quickly fell into the grooves!
Boom!
The magic array light curtain once again lit up with bright light, and the magic array emerged.
Ding ding ding!
The killing formation ban of the Mountain Guard Formation is activated.
The sword energy fell on the black beetle one after another. Black light surged from the black beetle's back shell, which turned out to be indestructible, and its defense was like a turtle shell.
The Cao family's mountain-protecting formation is of metal and fire attributes.
Seeing that the black beetle's defense was extremely strong, Elder Cao immediately changed his spell. A burst of magic hit the central formation plate. With a bang, a sea of fire shot out, and in an instant all the black beetles enveloped in the phantom formation were wiped out. Submerged, wherever the flames passed, black beetles fell to the ground, densely packed.
However.
The next scene happened.
But Elder Cao's pupils shrank.
However, the living black beetles were seen rushing down to the ground very fast, and their tentacles were inserted into the corpses of the same kind. The next moment, countless black energy was seen entering their bodies along the long tentacles.
In the blink of an eye.
Three first-level peak black beetles broke through to the second level:
“Oops!”
Elder Cao Er quickly activated the magic circle with both hands, and the magic circle buzzed. With a sound, a ten-foot long sword condensed with flames shot out. The moment the black beetle broke through, it struck down in the air as fast as lightning.
Ding!
The black beetle, which had just broken through the unstable aura, was unable to dodge and was split in half in an instant.
At the same time.
The black beetles on the ground were covered by the magic array.
It took several days.
All the black beetles in the fief were finally killed.
only.
At this time, the level of the spiritual veins has been reduced to the first level, and it cannot provide the power to operate the formation at all. In order to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Cao family had exhausted their spiritual stone reserves.
Once the emergency spirit stones filled in the groove of the magic circle are exhausted.
The black beetles outside will definitely break through the formation and rush in.
Elder Cao Er said quickly:
"We have to let the clan leader get out of seclusion quickly and let the Gongsun family come to support. Otherwise, if we continue, it will be the disaster of annihilation of the clan!"
Cao Xueyang on the side heard this.
Hurryly said:
"Father, you operate the magic circle, and I will call the clan leader."
Cao Xueyang saw the communication jade from the storage bag while casting the spell just now. In Fu Zhong, the clan leader had informed him that if it was about the black beetle, then the blame for the family's loss would undoubtedly fall on him.
Even with my father protecting me.
I'm afraid. I'm afraid he won't be able to escape punishment.
Cao Xueyang rushed to the retreat of the patriarch. After ringing the emergency doorbell, after a while, he saw the pale-faced patriarch Cao coming out of the stone door. He just barely suppressed it. The injury occurred a few days ago. When he saw Cao Xueyang, his first words were:
"Xueyang, is there the black beetle that Patriarch Fu mentioned in the spiritual veins of our Lingtian?"
It's over!
The last time the clan leader summoned him, it was really about the black beetle.
Cao Xueyang narrowed his eyes slightly.
The old patriarch who has lost his fighting power should have abdicated long ago and made way for someone more worthy. My father, remembering his old friendship, allowed him to stay in the position of patriarch for more than ten years. It is time to vacate the position:
"Clan Chief, there are no black beetles in our spiritual field. I came here to ask for your instructions."
Cao Xueyang spoke immediately and stepped forward quickly.
The center of the formation.
After Cao Xueyang left, Elder Cao immediately told another new foundation builder, Cao Xuerui:
“Just in case, Xiaoliu, ring the ancient bell quickly and lead the Qi Refining clan members Go into the underground shelter to hide first, don’t worry about the supplies, move the people in first, and do it quickly!”
“Yes, Second Elder”
Cao Xuerui quickly took the order and left.
Elder Cao San looked at the black beetles all over the sky outside and said worriedly:
“Second brother, I’m afraid that the Gongsun family will also be besieged by the insect tide at this moment.”
“Don’t be afraid, we have reserves. Middle grade spiritual stone We only have enough time to operate the mountain protection formation for a month. Even if the Gongsun family doesn't come, it's time for Zhenshisi to send people to rescue."
Elder Cao Er glanced at the center of the groove. After tasting the spirit stone, I felt happy for a while.
Seven years ago.
He and Lao San unanimously asked the old patriarch to take out these batches of middle-grade spiritual stones and bid for the foundation-building pills. At that time, the old patriarch firmly opposed it. In the end, he did not hesitate to auction the third-grade spiritual treasures he had collected for many years in exchange for Two foundation building pills.
Now it seems.
The old patriarch still had the foresight. After a while.
Cao Xuerui arranged for the Qi Refining clansmen to return to the central magic circle and locked it up. Seeing that Cao Xueyang had not returned for a long time, Elder Cao was about to take out the Jade Talisman to send a message, but saw Cao Dongyang at this time He stumbled in and ran in.
Elder Cao Er saw tears on his face.
My heart skipped a beat.
They and the patriarch have been in and out of life for many years, and their relationship is extraordinary. Otherwise, Patriarch Cao would not have allowed the other party to take charge of the Cao family for so many years without fighting power. If it were any other family, they would have been replaced long ago. The head of the house.
Cao Laosan’s voice trembled slightly:
“Xue Yang, but he is the head of the family”
"When the third uncle, father, sixth brother, and the head of the family heard the bad news that the spiritual veins and fields were damaged, the injuries in their bodies could not be controlled for a while, and they completely exploded. Everyone was dead."
The words have not yet finished. .
Elder Cao Er and Cao Lao San dodge one after another. When they arrived at the retreat of Patriarch Cao, they saw Patriarch Cao lying on the ground covered in blood, his breath cut off, and his eyes closed:
< br>“Master!!”
Elder Cao Er and Cao Laosan were filled with grief for an instant.
Cao Xueyang, who had followed, was also in tears at this time, but he quickly said:
"Father, third uncle, now is not the time to be sad. The Cao family still needs you two to be in charge. If the center of the formation stops functioning, , I am afraid that the black beetle will enter the clan mountain soon."
Elder Cao covered his face and cried.
But it was a bit more relieved to see that my son could still be so calm and composed at critical moments.
Cao Xueyang continued:
"Father, third uncle, please express my condolences. I will be responsible for organizing the body of the family leader. You should return to the formation center as soon as possible. The sixth brother alone may not be able to maintain a mountain-protecting formation."
While speaking.
Boom!
But I saw the entire clan mountain shaking violently.
Elder Cao Er's expression changed. The two of them ignored their sadness at the moment and returned to the center of the formation very quickly.
A spell hit the center of the formation.
The tremor just now.
Suddenly it came from the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Only the family owner can go to the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Elder Cao Er thumped for a moment.
When they killed the black beetles just now, because they did not have the authority to check the situation in the forbidden area in the back mountain, they missed this place:
"Oops!"
I'm afraid there are black beetles there too.
Just what I wanted to say.
But there was a clicking sound.
The light curtain of the magic circle in the back mountain cracked instantly.
Buzz buzz! !
An overwhelming number of black beetles came in.
Among these black beetles.
More than a dozen second-level cultivators appeared. Under their control, the black beetles rushed towards the center of the formation like an army pressing down on the territory.
The second elder Cao shouted:
"Lao San, Xiao Yang, Xiao Liu, quickly, form a formation!!!"
The black beetle army is endless, they can kill dozens of them Hundreds, but they can't kill tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and they will eventually run out of mana!
The four of them took steps and formed a strange formation, breaking through the black beetle tide at extremely fast speeds.
Run towards the entrance of the shelter.
However, the insect tide gathered more and more, and as they killed a group, higher-level black beetles were born. However, those dozen second-level black beetles were near the entrance of the shelter. Once they opened the entrance, If the black beetle cannot be kept out.
Then today will be the day when their Cao family will be exterminated.
Elder Cao Er bit his silver teeth and said:
"Lao San, Xiao Yang, Xiao Liu, go to the southwest!"
The insect tide in the southwest is the weakest.
That's where the He family's fiefdom is located.
Elder Cao Er didn’t care about the physical pain at this time. He waved his sleeves and a third-level talisman flashed out. Along with a magic spell, it burst into flames. With a bang, the talisman spontaneously ignited and roared. As soon as the news came out, a fire dragon appeared. The fire dragon rushed toward the southwest very quickly. Wherever it passed, black beetles scattered all over the ground.
The four of them rely on this disposable third-level talisman.
Finally broke out of the insect swarm and fought a bloody path.
At the same time.
Scenes of insect swarms attacking the city were being staged throughout Huainan Prefecture.
Wherever the black beetle passed, it was like a locust passing through, leaving no grass behind. Whether it was humans, monsters, or plants, they were all devoured.
A few days later.
After the situation in various fiefdoms stabilized.
Fu Changsheng quickly received a summons from the Huainan Prefecture’s Ninth Grade Family Council.
Return to the secret room.
A spell was struck on the jade talisman of the head of the family.
Buzz!
A pulling force fell.
Soon his figure was projected in the meeting hall of a ninth-grade family.
Fu Changsheng glanced at it.
The iron triangle of the Cui family, the Qi family, and the Hong family appeared in the parliament unharmed. The Lin family is actually controlled by the Shangguan family, so when the insect wave broke out, they also escaped. The Lin family also escaped. Appearing in the parliament, the Liang family and the He family were also there.
Only the Cao family is missing.
Fu Changsheng frowned.
When the insect wave broke out, he had clearly reminded Patriarch Cao that the other party should not do it. Maybe he was delayed by other general affairs.
at this time.
Clan Chief He sighed and spoke first:
"I want to tell you some sad news. Chief Cao has died of illness. The Cao family's spiritual veins and spiritual fields have been swallowed up by the insect tide. Except for the four Ming Zhuji fled to my He family, and the rest of the tribe hid in the underground shelter where their lives and deaths are unknown. The mortal city has been devoured by black beetles. "
How could this happen?
Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.
at this time.
The message from Patriarch He came to his ears:
“Thank you to Patriarch Fu for your timely reminder, which saved our He family from this disaster.”
Fu Changsheng had doubts in his heart.
Feeling that something was fishy, he quickly sent a message to Patriarch He:
"Brother He, there is no need to be polite. We are in-laws and we should help each other. However, there is something I don't know. Before the insect wave broke out, I reminded the Cao patriarch that this situation should not happen in the Cao family."
Clan Chief He was when they were building the Demon Control City.
He generously provided Qianyang Stone and married his daughter into the Fu family.
Fu Changsheng still felt that he should remind one or two of the other side to build the foundation of the Cao family to prevent the dove from occupying the magpie's nest.
“Brother Fu, you mean you also warned the Cao family.”
"Well, I sent a message to both of you almost at the same time, and Patriarch Cao also sent a message to me, saying that he would definitely come to thank you after he comes out of seclusion."
Hearing this, Patriarch He's expression changed.
He tried his words and learned from the Cao family that they had not received any warning, but Fu Changsheng had absolutely no reason to lie to him. The old patriarch Cao also died after the insect wave broke out, which means that the other party must have accepted it. Fu Changsheng's summons:
"Could it be."
Clan leader He thought of a possibility.
The pupils shrank.
After everyone heard the bad news about the Cao family.
There was silence for a while.
As the person in charge, Patriarch Cui was the first to speak:
“The outbreak of this insect wave was extremely strange. Almost overnight, there must have been more or less losses among the clan members present. , it would be a mistake to repeat the Cao family’s overthrow. We We have to come up with a way to expel the black beetles as soon as possible. In just a few days, more than a hundred of the second-level beetles have evolved from this group of black beetles. If we continue to let them develop, we are afraid of the third-level insects. A king may be born.”
Disaster is present.
At this moment, everyone no longer has the intrigues of the past.
Clan Chief Liang sighed:
"If we want to eliminate this black beetle, we must understand its habits and find its weaknesses. The black beetle is just a name we gave ourselves. , but what kind of monster is this insect? Does anyone here know the situation? "
The scene was silent for a while.
Patriarch Cui hesitated and said:
“Our ancestors of the Cui family have been to the Far West before.
It is recorded in his notes that there was also an outbreak of insects in the Far West. The tide was nothing but the Western Desert Locust. It was the Wanling Sect in the Far West who took action to annihilate this tide of beasts. < br>
The Western Desert Locust is different from the black beetle we saw
After the black beetle that appeared in Huainan Prefecture evolved to the second level, its defense power has been greatly improved, and ordinary spells in black armor cannot be used at all. It cannot be broken, and the reproduction speed is amazingly fast.”
The black beetle is more like the advanced form of the Western Desert Locust. ”
Everyone’s heart skipped a beat when they heard about the land in the far west.
In the land in the far west, the sect is established, and the world of cultivation there is controlled by the sect.
>
The Wanling Sect is one of the ten major sects in the Far West. Over the years, there has been constant friction between the Great Zhou and the sects in the Far West.
The people present listened to Patriarch Cui’s story. .
There is a vague smell of conspiracy.
Clan Chief Liang hesitated and said:
"Could it be that the insect tide in our Huainan Prefecture was caused by the sect in the far west?"
