Chapter 39 The insect plague is coming!
Since awakening the Golden Spirit Root, Chen Mo found that he had a clear perception of insects such as aphids.
Once these disasters begin to eat the spiritual rice seedlings, as long as they are within the range of perception, they can always be noticed through weak disturbances.
This acquired change also made Chen Mo realize why a cultivating sect like Qingyang Sect only recruits monks with spiritual roots!
Having spiritual roots and not having spiritual roots are completely different concepts.
Not to mention the impact on the speed of cultivation, just being in harmony with and resonating with all things in the world is enough to beat any monk without spiritual roots.
For several days in a row, Chen Mo would inspect his spiritual field every time it was getting dark, even spending half an hour to put aphids that had appeared inexplicably in the field into In the earthen jar, they are waiting for them to grow up little by little after fighting each other.
He Zhiping has not been idle these days.
Every day I go back and forth between myself and Lan Ling’s spiritual field.
After working hard for a few times, he learned the lesson.
Not all the aphids caught in the field were dumped into Chen Mo's field, but some were left behind for reuse the next time he went there.
After several experiences, He Zhiping finally gained a firm foothold in front of Lan Ling.
Every day I hear the other person calling him "fellow Taoist He" and "brother He".
In his opinion, it is not far away from becoming a Taoist partner with the other party... However, every time he occasionally pretends to touch Lan Ling's body, the other party always pretends to avoid it inadvertently. .
But once he gets angry, the other party will blush pitifully and mutter "Wait a little longer" and "Wait a little longer." For a while, He Zhiping is being manipulated by the other party. of.
Until one day, a palm-sized aphid flew out of Lan Ling's field, scaring her so much that she used the entry-level Flame Palm in a hurry!
But the insect did not catch it and burned a small piece of spiritual field.
Seeing this, Lan Ling ran non-stop to He Zhiping's cabin, took the initiative to hold the other person's arm, gasped and begged: "He... Brother He, bugs, such big bugs!"
When He Zhiping saw this, the small head took control of the big head in an instant, and he came to the opponent's field with a guaranteed ticket.
Afterwards, after a lot of effort, I finally found the aphid that was obviously different from other bugs!
That's right!
Other bugs are no bigger than a thumb and are still in their infancy.
But this one has become an adult, and its speed and destructive power cannot be matched by the larvae!
Of course, no matter how powerful this adult insect is, it is just one, and it is no match for He Zhiping. He simply memorized Geng’s Golden Finger and wiped out the aphid with ease. No effort.
"He...Brother He, this...what kind of spell is this?"
Lan Ling's eyes widened and she looked at the other party in disbelief. In terms of power, this spell was naturally not as powerful as Flame Palm.
The victory lies in its extremely fast speed and concentrated power. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is specially used to deal with aphids!
“One finger of gold!” He Zhiping raised his head proudly, thinking in his heart, why don’t I catch you now?
"One Finger of Geng Gold? So...so powerful, can I learn it?"
"Of course, you can buy it for two taels of spiritual sand."
"Ah, you still need spiritual sand?" Lan Ling lowered her head in shame, "I...I don't have it."
"You and I will become Taoist couples, and I will give it to you as a betrothal gift, how about that?" He Zhiping squinted his eyes and said.
At this point, he stopped covering up.
It means practicing double cultivation with the other party!
“Huh?!”
Lan Ling's face turned red when she heard this.
Before the other party could react, she had already covered her face and ran away.
“Wait a little longer, wait a little longer.”
He Zhiping looked at the running figure of the other party, and his mind was filled with excitement.
‘Let’s see if I don’t make mistakes next time! ’ Then, humming a little tune, he returned to his spiritual field. He originally planned to go back to his house to reward himself, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of the spiritual rice not far away swaying, as if it would fall down at any time.
How could it fall down even if it hasn’t hung yet?
He Zhiping was shocked and rushed over.
The moment he approached, dozens of aphids fluttered into the air and scattered at extremely fast speeds!
Survival is the instinct of any living thing.
The same goes for spirit insects.
When they first become adults, the carapace of aphids has not yet hardened, so they will flee immediately when encountering disturbance or danger.
But once they reach maturity, these bugs are like porcupines that cannot be driven away.
Won’t leave food until you kill them!
Now, more than a dozen aphids were flying in different directions. He Zhiping Zhang Huangjian quickly used Gengjin's finger to eliminate two or three of them.
At this moment, he no longer cares about observing the damage to the spiritual field. He must eliminate these bugs as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!
The adult stage aphid itself is a weak point. After a lot of effort, He Zhiping eliminated all the insects in the field.
Of course, this is also the credit of Geng Jin’s Finger. If you just rely on the Flame Palm, you will probably consume all the spiritual energy in your body, and don’t even think about killing them all!
But even apart from this, the spiritual energy in He Zhiping's body has bottomed out at this moment.
Looking at the large bald spiritual field, he sat down on the ground dejectedly, his mind filled with doubts.
"Where did so many adults appear?!"
He Zhiping was very sure that he was very careful when patrolling the fields every day.
It is normal to say that the larvae will be missed and only dumped, but how could the adult, which runs away at the slightest sign of trouble, not be discovered?
“Damn it!”
“Where did it come from?”
"Where did it come from!"
He looked around, still puzzled.
......
On the other side, seeing that there was no movement from He Zhiping, Chen Mo shook his head slightly and closed his eyes to practice.
That’s right, he raised the bugs and he released them due to a time lag.
I originally planned to retaliate in kind, but I still underestimated He Zhiping's methods.
Unexpectedly, this guy actually practiced Geng Jin Yi Finger. Judging from the power, he must have been proficient in it, otherwise he would not be able to easily eliminate the aphids in the adult stage.
Of course, Chen Mo only regarded this matter as an episode in his cultivation, and had no intention of continuing to raise or release insects.
After all, this is time-consuming and troublesome!
With this skill, it is better to practice hard and break through the third level of Qi refining as soon as possible.
In the days that followed, Chen Mo kept an eye on He Zhiping's movements while practicing, but gradually, he discovered something was wrong!
As the spiritual rice begins to hang ears day by day, there are more and more aphids in the spiritual field!
Even he, with the perception ability of the Golden Spirit Root, spends more than half an hour every day on killing insects.
Not only that, these bugs don’t seem to be decreasing at all!
“Where did the bugs come from?!”
Chen Mo felt a little bad, but because he was eliminated quickly and early enough, it didn't cause much damage.
It wasn’t until a large number of aphids took off in the spiritual field next door, including Xiao Changhua, He Zhiping and other Lingzhifu, that he realized:
The insect plague is coming!
