Chapter 173 Changes in the Fortune Plate, take the initiative
Fifty female worms, floating down the river.
During this period, Zhao Cang and the ten insect witches did not produce any fluctuations in their vitality for most of the time, and they simply controlled the direction of the magic ship.
Only when encountering obstacles or running aground will a higher vitality fluctuation occur in the body, and the water veins are used to reposition the Dharma boat and drift towards the destination.
The speed of the French boat was not very fast. It only traveled 20 miles in one hour.
Although the speed is slow, the victory is stability.
Whether it is a magic boat, a female insect, or a summoning weapon, the fluctuations in vitality caused by its spell casting are very small, and the traces of the spell cast are extremely hidden and almost impossible to detect.
This is the troublesome thing about the insect witch. From a long distance away, he can attack the enemy without anyone noticing.
The river that is hundreds of miles long took them more than five hours.
When fifty female insects arrived outside Yuncheng, it happened to be child time.
At this time, the defense in every aspect is relatively weak.
"The boundary monument of Yuncheng."
Zhao's body was emitting a unique life wave at this time. A hundred miles away, on a Dharma boat, a female insect about the size of a fist with two pairs of compound eyes suddenly turned its eyes.
At this time, the female insect initially awakens, the insect witch Zhao Cang begins to control the female insect, and the spellcasting fluctuations on his body also become stronger.
In the whole process, only at this moment is it necessary to summon and expend vitality to cast the spell.
Because he needs to control the female worms to find a suitable environment to lay eggs and reproduce.
"Entering Yuncheng from the entrance of the Mei River, you can float directly to the hinterland. You two, control the female insect to enter from the entrance of the Mei River, while the others continue to look for the next tributary."
"yes."
Zhao Cang and other witches cast spells together.
Fifty female insects, ten of them, floated towards the Mekong River ferry.
The other forty headed towards the next tributary and entered Cloud City.
From the perspective of the other insect witches, there is no need to divide the troops at all, and they can all enter Yuncheng directly from the entrance of the Mei River.
But just in case, Zhao Cong still chose to divide his troops.
Wow~
At the entrance of the Mekong River, two pieces of wood floated over.
We are about to enter the territory through the entrance.
But at this moment.
"Wow~"
The flow of water suddenly slowed down and two whirlpools appeared from the river.
The two pieces of dead wood were instantly pulled towards the center of the whirlpool.
"Um?"
The two insect wizards were suddenly confused.
"What's going on?" Zhao Cang asked.
"Maybe we encountered a backflow tide." An insect witch replied, "My female insect magic ship is retreating."
"My magic boat has sunk, but it should be able to float up in a while." The other insect witch didn't take it to heart.
Zhao Cang nodded.
However, within a quarter of an hour, the two insect wizards looked solemn.
"Young Master, there seems to be a problem."
"My Dharma boat has not floated up yet."
"Mine too."
Zhao Cang immediately ordered: "Let's see what's going on. If it's Dazhou's magic circle, destroy the magic ship and find a way to send the female worm in."
"yes."
The patterns on the faces of the two insect wizards lit up, as if there were insects crawling under their faces.
On the compound eyes of ten female insects, the appearance of two insect witches was printed upside down.
At the same time, the Dharma boat carrying ten female insects accelerated its speed.
"Wow~"
One of the French boats used the current to accelerate and was about to rush to the shore.
However, the current seemed to be against him, pushing back the dead wood one wave after another.
"Whoosh~"
The next moment, this piece of dead wood was completely submerged in the whirlpool.
"Buzz~"
The insect witch shuddered, and his entire face turned pale.
Another piece of dead wood had sunk to the bottom of the river long ago, as if it was stuck in the black mud. No matter how many spells were cast, it could not float.
"Buzz~"
The second insect witch also lost contact with the mother insect and the magic boat.
"Um?"
Zhao Zhao looked at the two elders and knew immediately that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment the two of them reported the situation one after another.
They are no longer able to sense the situation of the French ship and the female insect.
"Whirlpool, black sludge?"
Zhao Yu was about to ask more carefully.
However, two more insect wizards groaned, and the situation was exactly the same as the previous two.
"stop!"
"The remaining thirty female insects and Dharma ships, all wait silently and do not move forward!"
Zhaobo reacted immediately.
One or two, it can be said to be an accident, but four insect wizards all encountered the same situation, which proves that Yuncheng has extremely sophisticated protection methods.
"Can you actually prevent the insect witch from lurking?"
"Don't the intelligence say that Yuncheng is very weak?"
"Young Master, what should I do?"
Zhao Cong thought for a while and stood up: "The mission of the divine envoy must be completed unless it exceeds a certain level."
"It's too far away, and the power of the spell is too weakened. It's impossible to determine what's going on. Let's go down along the Canglan River to have a look."
One of the older insect witches advised: "Young Master, is this too risky? We are not powerful witches. If we suddenly encounter the sergeants of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we will be easily killed."
Zhao Cang said: "Failure to complete the mission of the divine envoy within a month is more painful than death. I am the young master of the Hana tribe. I may be exempted from punishment. Half of you will be sacrificed to insects."
The ten insect witches were silent. Shenshan has made great efforts in cultivating insect witches over the years, and has provided more resources than other types of witches. These are not in vain.
Zhao E: "Two flying mother locusts are hatched. Monitor the surroundings as we move forward. We should be more careful, and there will be no problem."
"yes."
Yuncheng, the entrance to the Mei River.
Ling Yuan called on the mechanics to control the dragon boat's triple crane and lift a black box out of the water.
"Whoosh~"
Zhao Xing and Xia Jing descended from the sky in a swordfish flying boat.
"Master Ling, what's going on?"
When Ling Yuan saw the two people coming down, he immediately ran over to greet them: "Master Zhao, Master Xia, the official received a report from the night watch officer that the water in the Mei River was clear and the Qing Yuan Formation suddenly moved at three o'clock, so he rushed there as soon as possible.
come over."
"The magic circle cage captured some strange things, but I can't identify what they are."
"Let me take a look." Zhao Xing walked forward for more than ten meters.
At this time, the black cage was lifted out.
There are two pieces of dead wood that are constantly bumping into each other in the black cage.
However, the inside of the Zhenji of the Shuiqing Qingyuan Formation is completely a maze. Once you enter, you cannot get out.
No matter how hard it hits, it can't break through the restraint.
When Zhao Xing saw this piece of dead wood, his eyes suddenly became solemn: "Be careful when opening it."
Xia Jing saw this and asked, "What is this?"
He has never seen the methods of insect witches.
Zhao Xing pointed at the dead wood and said: "The insect witch's female insect nest is made of fourth-level kite mulberry wood. There are at least ten female insects in it! I can't tell what type it is."
"What?!" Xia Jing was startled, "So many?"
During the breakout exercise, Xia Jing was deeply impressed by the insect witches' methods of the Southern Barbarians. Countless fist-sized insects were flying densely in the air, and they couldn't be killed. It was like a nightmare.
But he had only seen the mature insect plague, not the female insect.
"Kakaka~"
After the two pieces of wood were released, they immediately exploded.
"Hey~"
Two water droplets appeared on Zhao Xing's fingertips. The water droplets quickly enlarged, covering all the fragments of the dead wood the moment it exploded.
"Certainly!"
Two masses of water floated in the air, solidifying everything inside.
"It's a vampire locust." Xia Jing took a deep breath. "There are still ten of them."
"Sir, what is the origin of this insect?" Ling Yuan asked doubtfully. There were strange insects squirming in the water mass.
Its head has a pair of filamentous antennae, compound eyes, and sharp mouthparts.
There are three single eyes on the front of the head near the antennae, arranged in an inverted triangle.
Zhao Xing pointed to one of the female insects and said: "Vampire female locusts have three-segmented chests and eight legs. Each of the middle and posterior chests has a pair of wings. On the second and third segments of the chest, there are a pair of valves each, which can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth.
.”
"The abdomen is the same as the head and chest. Every section is very hard, and ordinary third-level magic weapons cannot cut it."
"This head is the female worm, and the end of its abdomen is the ovipositor that protrudes backward."
"A single vampire locust can produce tens of millions of vampire locusts in a very short period of time."
"They feed on the blood of livestock, and their mouthparts are poisonous. The toxins of adult blood-sucking locusts can easily paralyze high-grade warriors."
The faces of the officials around him paled, and Ling Yuan asked cautiously: "Do they eat humans?"
Zhao Xing said lightly: "For blood-sucking locusts, humans are of course more delicious than livestock."
Everyone couldn't help but shudder.
"Don't panic. Your previous shift was not in vain. The arrest of these female locusts is an example."
"As long as it doesn't become powerful, a single vampire locust is still easy to kill."
Zhao Xing waved his hand gently, and all the nests in the water mass, including the mother worm, were crushed into pieces.
At this moment, a flying boat came over and reported an abnormal situation at the entrance of another tributary.
Zhao Xing and Xia Jing rushed over in a swordfish flying boat.
A second female worm was soon discovered.
"This is the Sword Poison Mother Locust."
"It seems that there are insect witches carrying out a natural disaster attack on Yuncheng."
"It should be a plague of ten locusts."
Xia Jing looked at these female insects and said with some fear: "Thank you for your foresight. If these things are allowed to flow into Yuncheng, I'm afraid all our early efforts will be in vain."
Zhao Xing shook his head and said: "It's far from over yet. There are only two types of locust plagues. If we stop him, he will definitely not give up."
"you mean?"
"If the insect witch wants to control the mother locust, it must not be too far away." Zhao Xing looked at the sky: "Sitting and waiting for death is not an option. Brother Xia, you immediately send out all the troops of the military department, take a flying boat and hide in my clouds."
"Follow my Yunluo later, find him, and kill him!"
Xia Jing nodded: "Okay, I'll call someone right away. When will we leave?"
Zhao Xing thought deeply: "Two quarters of an hour later, Brother Xia, after you and I return to the city, we have to do one thing first."
"If the Southern Barbarians want to train their troops, it is impossible to send out only one tribe."
"It's useless for us to defend Yuncheng. We have to notify the other counties. Otherwise, once the insect witches take over, we will still be beaten passively."
"You and I jointly report to the city to report the damage caused by the insect witches."
"Not only that, we also need to notify the counties and counties around Yuncheng."
"Your connections are wider and your speaking skills are more convincing."
"Even if the higher-ups don't believe it, as long as we people from Shiyang Cave can take precautions, it will be enough to minimize the losses."
"Okay." Xia Jing nodded and immediately left in the flying boat.
Zhao Xingze left, took out the ground mirror, and sent a message to Sinongdu, whom he met in Shiyang Cave.
Shi Yong, Zhuang Ziqing, Feng Qi, Cai Jin, Jiang Tianming... As long as they are in the friend list, I have posted them all.
Although you are competing with these people, telling them how to deal with them will also be beneficial to your own actions.
Otherwise, if Yuncheng is defended well and others collapse, it will still affect you.
"It is the most appropriate time to send this private message after the first encounter with the insect witch."
"I'm one step ahead, and as long as I'm one step ahead, that's enough."
Zhao Xing put away the ground mirror, then glanced at the sky and left quickly.
Military world, inside the tower.
At this time, a ground mirror showed the actions of Zhao Xing and Xia Jing by the river.
In front of the mirror, King Tianyan, King Luohu, and King Lingde watched this scene.
Two county princes and one prince, this is the configuration of the military community to monitor the performance of new recruits in each army.
Only such heavyweights can make the selection fair. King Tianyan, King Luohu, and King Lingde are not directly involved in the conquest of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion. Without any interests, they can withstand it.
Under pressure from all sides, there is no need to go through the back door.
King Lingde pointed to the ground mirror and said: "He was aware of the natural disaster attack by the insect witch on Yuncheng, and sent an alarm to the others. Zhao Xing is very vigilant. He not only asked Tiangongfang to arrange a response
The insect witch’s magic circle also has protection against other types of disasters.”
King Luohu shook his head and said: "That's not entirely true. He completed the first two missions relatively quickly. He arrived at Yuncheng in advance, and quickly eliminated hidden dangers. He had more time to gather all his forces to attack Yuncheng.
Prevention and treatment.”
"The missions in the military world are all deduced based on the fortune disc. He has already maintained an advantage by being so quick. Not only is he faster than Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing in Shiyang Cave Heaven, but the reserve forces of the other four major cave heavens are also no better than him.
Quick."
"Huh?" King Tianyan suddenly made a confused sound.
"King Tianyan, what's wrong?" King Luohu and King Lingde both looked over.
King Tianyan thought: "The direction of the war deduction in the Creation Disk just now has suddenly undergone some changes."
"For a moment, the word insect witch appeared frequently in the plain-barbarian war, reaching the peak before the war."
King Luohu's eyes narrowed: "You mean, the emergence of this change is related to Zhao Xing and Xia Jing's reporting, and their sending private messages to the rest of the people through the earth mirror?"
King Tianyan shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, there was only a peak for a moment, and the insect witches have long been on guard in the military world... Leave these to the people of Tianji Palace to have a headache. It is not the source of creation that is poor.
What I should do."
King Luohu and King Lingde nodded. Dazhou slashed the path of deduction cultivation, but that was to prohibit others from learning. The royal family maintained a group of people. This group of people was called 'Mingguan'. This mysterious group,
There is an organization in the military world which is Tianji Palace.
"Look, Zhao Xing and Xia Jing have already set off." King Tianyan's eyes fell on the ground mirror, "They are only twenty miles away from the insect witches of the Southern Barbarians."
Chapter completed!
