Chapter 61 White Jade Poisonous Locust
Two acres of spiritual land.
In the acre near Yunbo Lake, a small patch of spiritual rice appeared withered and necrotic.
The color of the spiritual rice became gray, and it drooped there sickly, without any vitality.
If you plant corn sprouts and irrigate regularly and kill insects, there will be no abnormality.
However, this is obviously not the normal situation now.
"It's strange. I often clean up the pests. Even if there are pests breeding or missing, those pests will not eat the spiritual rice like this."
Chen Qingyun was confused and looked around the withered spiritual rice for a while. The more he looked at it, the weirder it seemed.
He reached out and touched one of the withered spiritual rice plants.
The spiritual rice appears very dry, as if all the water vapor inside has dried up and turned into hay.
“What pest poisoned these spiritual rice plants?”
This is the first time Chen Qingyun has seen this situation.
Do you want to ask Chen Qingyan to see if she knows?
Or maybe ask your family about their experience in this area?
After thinking carefully about whether it was caused by insects, Chen Qingyun decided to investigate on his own first.
Make up your mind.
Chen Qingyun searched the spiritual field for half a day, but found no signs of insect pests, which made him more and more confused.
"I don't believe it. I can't find the root of the problem."
In the following days, Chen Qingyun simply activated the earth puppet to guard the edge of the spiritual field in a state of lurking underground.
Such anomalies occurred the first time I planted the spiritual field.
If we leave it alone and don't find out the cause, we don't know if more spiritual rice will be affected in the future.
I'm still looking forward to harvesting these corn sprouts.
He and Chen Qingyan planted the corn sprouts one after another.
Seeing them all growing taller and producing grains of rice, dozens of them withered and died. Chen Qingyun felt distressed just looking at them.
After two days of continuous observation, nothing was found.
Just when Chen Qingyun thought he had guessed wrong.
On the morning of the third day, he finally gained something and found the culprit in the spiritual field.
Under the common vision shared by the Tu Xing Puppet, a small group of insects flew into view and landed on the spiritual rice with ease.
Immediately, under Chen Qingyun's gaze, the insects opened their mouths and gnawed at the rice grains.
"It's indeed an insect pest."
Chen Qingyun's expression changed, and he immediately brought the Tu Xing puppet closer to observe it carefully.
I saw that there were sixteen or seventeen of the pests, they were about the size of a finger, and they were all white.
They all have round heads with a pair of short antennae on their heads and hearing devices on their abdomens.
What attracted Chen Qingyun's greatest attention.
But their teeth are very sharp.
When climbing up the spiritual rice to eat the rice grains, black liquid sometimes flowed out of the mouth and covered the spiritual rice.
"White jade poisonous locust?"
Chen Qingyun watched for a while and recognized the origin of these pests.
The white jade poisonous locust has a pale white body and a pair of wings that look like white jade, making it quite ornamental.
But this beautiful appearance hides danger.
This is a poisonous locust.
Any plants that have been eaten by it will become poisonous and wither.
If a monk is bitten by it and fails to take the antidote in time, his life will also be in danger.
But, the strange thing is, isn’t the white jade poisonous locust only found on land?
Why are there traces of white jade poisonous locusts even appearing on the ocean?
Did you even come to Zhenhai Island?
"The island protection formation on Zhenhai Island is not open around the clock. Maybe they migrated from other places."
"Or maybe they already live on the island, and they were attracted to it by the recent cultivation of spiritual rice."
Chen Qingyun's eyes flickered and he observed secretly for a while.
As expected.
After two spiritual rice plants were eaten by white jade poisonous locusts, their condition became abnormal and they dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was determined that the previously depleted patch of spiritual rice was caused by these white jade poisonous locusts.
Chen Qingyun no longer stood idly by and used his light body technique to fly towards the spiritual field.
Under the use of golden needle technique.
More than a dozen golden flying needles condensed into shape, and shot out with a whooshing sound, quickly hitting the dozen white jade poisonous locusts.
These white jade poisonous locusts were still gnawing on the spiritual rice, completely unaware of the golden needles shot towards them.
Even if some of them were aware of it, it was already too late to escape.
Poof!
A series of bursts of flesh and blood were heard.
Locusts were shot by golden needles one by one, fell down, and were killed instantly.
These days, I often use golden needle technique to clean up pests.
The accuracy of Chen Qingyun's golden needle is already very precise.
It can be done from a hundred meters away, and the emperor can shoot a mosquito with a golden needle.
With these dozen white jade poisonous locusts in front of him, it was quite easy to clean them up.
He took action again and eliminated twelve white jade poisonous locusts.
Chen Qingyun did not kill the remaining two.
"They should have built their nests on this island just like the fire cloud lizards. If they are not cleared away, there will be endless troubles."
"The spiritual rice here cannot be destroyed by these poisonous locusts."
Chen Qingyun thought for a while and deliberately left two unclear so that he could find the location of the nest through them.
Since we want to clean up these white jade poisonous locusts, we must eradicate them.
Otherwise, if left unchecked, relying on the White Jade Poisonous Locust's ability to reproduce, their number will only increase.
It will be very difficult to clean them up by then.
The two white jade poisonous locusts were frightened and lost their desire to eat.
They flapped their wings and flew away quickly to one side.
They were very vigilant and would not stay after being attacked.
Chen Qingyun continued to control the earth puppet and acted directly in the underground tracking method.
After the two white jade poisonous locusts left the range of the spiritual field, they did not fly directly back to the nest, but continued to forage in the surrounding area.
Chen Qingyun patiently tracked the two white jade poisonous locusts until the evening, when he found their nest.
It was located in the southern area of Zhenhai Island, a dry and vast wasteland with little vegetation.
"That's it."
When Chen Qingyun followed here, he saw the two white jade poisonous locusts falling underground.
In just a few seconds, they entered the underground cave.
The earth puppet followed closely behind, and through the shared vision, Chen Qingyun also saw the scene of this underground cave.
There is only one passage to enter the nest.
It keeps winding and going about 20 meters underground. When you reach the end of the passage, a huge cave begins to appear.
This cave is large enough to reach more than 300 square meters, and the light is not dim.
When you see a large number of white jade locusts gathered here, densely packed.
It is like a white ocean, bringing a strong visual impact.
Chen Qingyun only felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
"So many white jade locusts!"
