Chapter 765 The Easiest Way to Kill Cicadas

After several arrangements, Dong Rui opened the lid of the crystal box and exposed the mother cicada to the air.

At first, it was quiet all around.

Everyone waited in the woods for a quarter of an hour, and then another quarter of an hour.

Even He Lingchuan asked if it was possible, but Dong Rui was confident: "Patience, patience!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three or four strange cicadas jumped into the open space from all directions and headed straight for the mother cicada.

Qiu Hu shook the copper stick in his hand, but Dong Rui reminded him: "Don't worry, the more bait the better."

The cicada insects that came for the scent also like to party like humans. The more of their kind, the more excited they are.

The male insects saw such a plump and fat opposite sex for the first time, and they were immediately fascinated, and they didn't even care about the abnormalities around them. The smell they exuded when mating was even stronger, and soon attracted more cicada insects.

Rongshan Sect set up a "ground cage formation" on this open space. The principle is similar to that of a crab cage. Insects can come in but can't get out.

In the past two months, they have also figured out many ways to catch insects, and the ground trap formation is one of them. It's just that the original food was placed in the formation, but now it is replaced by cicada mothers.

Within an hour, hundreds of cicada insects arrived.

Two hours later, the number became 700!

The three-foot-long insects jumping around in a black mass made the people of Rongshan change their faces. Elder Dao couldn't help but sigh: "My sect has been in the world for more than 200 years, and we have seen all kinds of storms and waves, but today we almost fell into the hands of a small cicada insect!"

They kill insects all day long, but the opponents are still endless.

It's beyond human power.

If this goes on, one of Rongshan Sect and the insects must die. If no reliable method can be found, who do you think will die?

These opponents are not even monsters! In the past two months, Rongshan Sect has been frustrated to death.

He Lingchuan pointed forward and smiled, "Isn't there a way?"

They stayed in the formation that was set up in advance. To these strange insects, humans were invisible, and even no smell was leaked.

Four hours later, one thousand.

Seeing that no new insects had appeared for a long time and the ground trap array could no longer hold them, Dong Rui was satisfied and said, "It's done."

So everyone took action together, using magical powers, arrays, poisons, and various magical tools and props to take turns to deal with the cicadas.

These cicadas were full of thoughts about mating, and had no interest in resisting to save their lives. They just waited for death. Occasionally, a few flew up to attack people, but they were quickly killed.

Due to sufficient preparation in advance, the insect extermination lasted only half an hour.

Rongshan Sect has never been so simple, safe and painless in exterminating cicadas. Everyone was very surprised, and their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at Dong Rui and He Lingchuan.

In fact, using fire attack is the fastest, but cicadas are afraid of the smell of burnt smoke, and will take the initiative to stay away from the burned land and will not approach it for at least two months.

Dong Rui carefully put away the mother cicada: "Change to another place to continue?"

There is hope, everyone is smiling: "Continue."

This successful experiment was quickly reported to Master Xue. After listening to Elder Dao's report, he decided to vigorously promote Dong Rui's successful experience.

Of course, Dong Rui now only uses a pseudonym, saying that his name is Wei Yishan.

In the next three days, Dong Rui bred several cicada mothers in succession and asked Rongshan disciples to take them to various places to hunt strange cicadas.

The advantage of strange cicadas is that they grow fast, but the disadvantage is that their desire for mating and reproduction far exceeds that of ordinary cicadas.

After seven or eight days of busy work, the number of adults has dropped sharply, and the newly hatched ones will also die. The number of strange cicadas in Rongshan has dropped sharply, and good news has been reported in the east and south.

After another seven or eight days, many places have been cleared.

The overall situation has been determined, and it is only a matter of time before Rongshan Sect completely defeats the invading strange cicadas.

At the same time, they also set fire to the charred forest in the northeast. After all, the trees there have long been sucked dry by the invading strange cicadas, and it is not a pity to burn them with fire. The charcoal land can also block the strange cicadas for several months.

Only by cutting off the path of cicada insects to the south, Rongshan Sect can enjoy a few months of peace.

Elder Dao also asked Dong Rui: "What should we do after three months?"

Three months later, it will be spring and flowers will bloom. The forests after the fire will grow grass and trees again. By then, cicada insects will move south again.

Dong Rui's answer is also very simple: "Zhuguo is the source. If the cicada disaster is not eliminated there, Rongshan will have no peace."

Who made Juguo a neighbor that cannot be moved away? No matter how well Rongshan does on its own land, it will be dragged down by the poor student next door.

Elder Dao sighed and asked: "Then, can Mr. Wei go to Juguo?"

Get rid of insects for Juguo? Dong Rui shook his head: "No."

"In fact, the country of Ju heard that we have a good way to eliminate the evil in Rongshan, so they came to ask for help." Elder Dao smiled even warmer, "The strange cicadas have eaten countless people in Ju, and the disaster is very serious. Now the whole country is overwhelmed by it and has no way to save itself."

Where the strange cicadas pass, no grass grows, no people or animals survive, and agriculture and forests are destroyed. Once it gets worse, no country can bear it.

The Heavenly Palace has sent envoys to Wange Swamp, and Dong Rui is unwilling to go there no matter what. He finally escaped from Beijia, and he would never get involved with the people there again.

He Lingchuan asked tentatively: "Did the country of Ju never ask for foreign aid?"

"Why not? The country of Ju offered a large reward and invited extraordinary people." Elder Dao coughed lightly: "The spy I sent to the country of Ju brought back a message that even the Heavenly Palace was alarmed and sent a Duyun envoy."

He Lingchuan was slightly surprised: "The Heavenly Palace sent a Duyun envoy? Who is it?"

Of course he knew that the Heavenly Palace envoys went to Wange Swamp not to investigate the cicada plague, but to find clues related to the Dafanghu, which was the reason why he asked Li Qingge to send the Xinglong Pillar to Wange Swamp.

But he didn't expect that the Heavenly Palace actually sent a Duyun Envoy.

The rank was very high, which was enough to show the importance.

"The surname is He, and it is He Jing, one of the four Duyun Envoys." Elder Dao said, "But this Duyun Envoy He led people to go around Wange Swamp for several times, and it seemed that he didn't find anything, so he left later."

"Oh!" He Lingchuan nodded seriously. It was originally his intention to create confusion. It would be strange if Duyun Envoy He could find clues about the Dafanghu in Wange Swamp.

As for the cicada plague in Zhu State, I think Duyun Envoy He didn't care at all. Anyway, it wasn't Beijia who was harmed.

Elder Dao looked at He Lingchuan and coughed lightly: "Mr. Wei also said that the Zhu Kingdom is the source. If they don't treat it, the pests in Rongshan can't be eradicated."

The word "eradicate" is emphasized.

He Lingchuan knew that this sentence was said to him. Rongshan's pests could not be eradicated, so Qiu Hu had to stay in Rongshan and keep his oath.

Elder Dao had a sharp eye and had long seen that this party only followed He Lingchuan's lead. As long as He Lingchuan nodded, this "Mr. Wei" would have nothing to refuse.

He Lingchuan thought about it and said seriously: "I'm not trying to add insult to injury. I really want to ask your sect for help with something."

Elder Dao was not worried but happy: "Please speak, please speak!"
