As wave after wave of insect demons landed, a thick layer of insects accumulated on the grass in the canyon, and the insect swarm extended from Qianji Secret Valley to the west.
In less than half the time of burning the incense, the canyon opposite the eastern end of Qiangu Garden was occupied by the insect demon, and the area occupied by the insect demon continued to expand westward.
The insect monster army is still hitting the vortex, and it has hit hundreds of times in just one stick of incense.
Some insect demons hit the large vortex and flew to both sides, occupying the mountains.
The insect tide was so fierce that the monks did not dare to release their consciousness. They could not see what the army of insect demons had done. They could only see the black insect demons rushing forward one after another.
As the insect demons landed on the ground and crowded the canyon grassland, the monks could truly see what the locusts looked like.
The vanguard of the insect wave are death squads, fearless of death.
The hunting teams all know that it is not advisable to attack the vanguard of the insect wave directly and quietly wait for the right opportunity.
The army of insect demons continuously impacted the large vortex. After impacting nearly two thousand times, the large vortex that had been stationary finally trembled slightly.
That change also made the Zerg extremely excited.
A strange hissing sound sounded from the insect swarm.
After a few sounds, the insect swarm surged, and countless insect monsters poured into the gap between the two peaks above the golden light of the spin vortex, and then landed on the surface of the golden light layer, biting the golden light and absorbing the golden light layer the power of.
The insect tide no longer hits the vortex, but flocks to it, squeezing on the surface of the golden light layer and biting it, absorbing the power.
The surface of the huge vortex is crowded with insect monsters. The insects that cannot squeeze in temporarily stop on the mountain. Whenever the insects that have absorbed the strength from the golden vortex exit, another batch will be replaced. Bite.
A large number of insects swarmed to the mountains or the ground on both sides. Soon the valley opposite the Qiangu Garden barrier was filled with dense insect demons. As the insect swarms behind them continued to come, the insect demons piled up. Insect monster.
When the insect demons piled up in front of him, the team of monks in the world of gods and immortals all took action in unison!
The people in charge of managing the defensive formations of each team quickly moved the magic weapon's defense barrier outwards and trapped the insect monsters in their own magic weapon.
A team with high combat power will circle five or six insects or a dozen insect monsters at a time, and a team with slightly lower combat power will bring in three to five insects at a time.
The hunting team that was ready to attack quickly attacked, surrounding the insect monster and hunting it.
The insect monster is not easy to bully and fights back ferociously.
Those insects that were not pulled into the battle circle saw that their companions were under attack, and they rushed towards the defensive barrier like a tide, biting and hitting the barrier.
The barrier of Qiangu Garden was also attacked.
The protection of the Qianguyuan safe zone is a divine weapon. The barrier is strong and cannot be broken by first-order locusts. The stewards ignored the insect monsters that attacked the barrier and sent out wisps of spiritual consciousness to supervise it. Various monk teams.
Since the Qinggang Locust is named "Qinggang", they have not lost their name in vain. Not only are their head shells and shoulder armors made of hard steel, but the soft armor on their backs and abdomens are also equally hard.
The leather armor of first-level locusts is the same as that of low-grade or mid-grade fairy magic weapons. If it is a magic weapon below fairy grade, there won’t even be a mark on them if you cut it. Some magic weapons are missing their blades. .
The locust itself is hard and protected by aura. Even if it is struck with an immortal magic weapon, it may not be able to break through the aura defense layer. The zigzag blades on its wings and legs can easily cut off a locust. The body and bones of a Mahayana monk.
A team of monks with several people besieging one locust, or a group of people besieging several locusts, would not gain any upper hand, and sometimes they would even be forced to just parry.
Whenever the Green Steel Locust spits its saliva or releases a stink bomb, the monks are in a hurry and have no ability to resist.
Locusts don’t need to be killed, but with a strong team and a properly coordinated hunting group, it will take as long as a stick of incense to kill one locust at the fastest.
For those weak teams, even if they work as a team, it often takes a stick of incense, or three to four quarters of an hour to eliminate a locust.
Whenever the locusts are eliminated, the logistics team quickly cleans the battlefield, collects the corpses, cleans up the dirt, and immediately helps to treat the wounds if any companions are injured.
If a member of the hunting group is low on energy, he or she will withdraw and rest first, and a substitute will take over.
The personnel in charge of pulling the insect monsters will then pull the locusts into the battle circle. If there are too many locusts besieging outside, they must find ways to disperse them.
When locusts attack in groups, it is easy to break through the magic barrier. The members of each team responsible for defense always keep an eye on the magic barrier. Generally, if the barrier is damaged or lacks spiritual power, immediately change to another defense. magic weapon.
The team in the Immortal Realm works well together.
Of the team from the spirit world, the barriers of half of the team could not withstand the attack of locusts, and the members were forced to give up killing insects and return to Qiangu Garden.
Several teams have high-level defensive magic weapons that can block the gnawing of locusts. After observing the fighting methods of other teams, they also imitated the same and pulled one or two locusts into the battle circle. Turn on killing mode.
Others’ teams were fighting in group battles, and Buddha Nanga, who worked alone, integrated logistics, hunting, defense, and backup team members into one, but he did not panic.
Nanga calmly took out a set of wooden fish magic weapons, and then put a locust into his defense circle to attackThe locusts knock on the wooden fish.
As soon as the locust spread its wings and pounced on the human race, a sound shocked its brain and paused.
When it calmed down and rushed forward again, the human monk knocked the wooden fish again, and its movement paused again, and then repeated.
Repeatedly for more than twenty times, the locusts were disoriented and could not tell the difference between east, west and north, and did not know whether to advance or retreat.
Buddha Nanga stretched out the mallet in his hand and struck the locust on the head.
With a loud "buang" sound, the locust fell to the ground.
“Amitabha!” Nanga sang the Buddha’s name, calmly collected the locust corpses, and released two more locusts into the defense circle.
The locusts smelled the scent of human flesh and blood, and rushed towards them excitedly, preparing to replenish their nutrients.
The Buddha calmly knocked on the wooden fish, and when the locust was dizzy, the hammer hit the locust's head, and he calmly sent the two locusts to see the Buddha.
The neighboring team of monks surrounded and killed an insect demon. While taking advantage of the time to catch their breath, they paid attention to the Buddhist cultivator next door. Then they saw the Buddhist cultivator pull three locusts into the circle and knock them calmly. Wooden fish.
A group of monks’ eyes widened in shock. Then, they witnessed with their own eyes the Buddhist monk’s miraculous operation of knocking out wooden fish to eliminate insects.
When the Buddhist cultivator put away the insect corpses, the team leader immediately raised his voice to say hello: "Fellow Buddhist cultivator, I wish Songqing and his companions are polite!"
"Amitabha cultivator." Nanga turned around and sang a salute to the neighbor team.
The monks also returned the gift and wished Songqing to strike while the iron is hot: "Fellow Taoist, do you have any opinions on cooperation? If you are willing, we can cooperate. You only need to be responsible for knocking the wooden fish and chanting sutras. I will wait for the rest. Responsible.
The result of the battle is 40% to 60%, we share 60%, Taoist friends 40%.”
All the team members had no objection to the captain’s proposal,
"Okay." Nanga did not hesitate, but made another request: "Pindao is waiting for someone. If that fellow Taoist comes, Pindao may withdraw from the battle at any time."
"It doesn't matter. , when will Taoist friends come, when will our cooperation be suspended, and if there is an opportunity to continue cooperation, we will continue to cooperate." Zhu Songqing does not care about the conditions for Buddhist practice.
Seeing that the other party was sincere and friendly, Nanga moved up to the outside of the neighboring team's defensive barrier. When the cooperative team was included in the defensive barrier, he clasped his hands and sang a promise to the monks.
The monks also returned the greeting, stopped exchanging pleasantries, and prepared to kill the insects.
"The poor monk's sound attack technique can deal with up to eight insects at a time. How many can all the fellow Taoists deal with?" NangaLet’s get to the bottom of it first.
“We’re not sure yet, how about letting three or four of them try first?” Zhu Songqing proposed a reasonable plan based on the strength of the team.
Nanga has no objection.
The monk in charge of defense was ready and quickly pulled in four locusts.
As soon as the locusts were pulled into the barrier, they were greeted by the peaceful sound of wooden fish.
Zhu Songqing and his teammates swarmed forward and took advantage of the slow movement of the locusts to launch an attack.
The sound of the wooden fish is like a magic spell, restraining the locust and making it difficult for it to use its ultimate move.
As the saying goes, when you punch an old master indiscriminately, the monks "take advantage of people's illness to kill them." When the locusts can't react, they punch them indiscriminately and kill them.
The four locusts fell to the ground one after another, and the total time was less than half a stick of incense.
The monks were overjoyed and energetic for the next round of hunting.
After experiments, the monks found that releasing four or five times at a time was the most labor-saving and time-saving way to kill locusts.
The monks were not too dizzy or greedy to bite off more than they could chew, and they hunted four or five times at a time.
Because of the flawless cooperation of one team, they were able to harvest thirty or forty insects every hour, which also made the neighboring teams jealous.
Zhu Songqing’s team cooperated with Buddhist cultivators, which made it easier to hunt locusts, but their spiritual power was also consumed very quickly. The hunting progressed into the evening, and the members were all tired.
After Zhu Songqing discussed with Buddhist monks, the team retreated to the safe area to recuperate.
Like them, many teams also retreat to the safe zone when they are exhausted.
After a night’s rest, each team was resurrected with full health, regrouped, and fought again.
The primary target of the insect demon army is the golden vortex. The battle on the human side is just a small fight, and no one in the insect commander is distracted.
Under the command of the commander, the insect swarms form groups one after another to bite the barrier, swallowing the power of the barrier, and intercepting the spiritual energy in the canyon, without giving the barrier a chance to replenish the spiritual power. .
After the insect swarm absorbed the power of the barrier, it gnawed at it again as quickly as possible, flying in the air to consume physical and spiritual energy.
Insects are everywhere between the canyon floor and the mountain, and dense swarms of insects are spread in the air. The insect demons cover the sky and the sun, making the canyon in front of Qianji Secret Valley invisible to the sky for hundreds of thousands of miles.
With the continuous hunting, in less than three months, the monk team also entered a period of exhaustion. Some teams gradually became unable to do their best, making mistakes and causing injuries.
At first, only people were injured. As time went by, people inevitably died, and some teams' defenses were even breached by the insect swarm, resulting in a large number of deaths.
Sometimes, even the monk’s body was too late to recapture. Whenever Xiuqian’s body fell into a swarm of locusts, it was devoured by the swarming insect monsters.
The team of insect monsters are full of energy and have maintained their combat power because they gnawed at the barrier of Qianji Secret Valley and ate plants.
The pest control operation of the monk team became difficult, and people were injured every few days.
