The Law of Food Raising - 35
Chapter 35 - Aphids
"Your Excellency Samus, we meet again." Xiu Yi gracefully saluted Samus. With his long white hair and an exquisite robe, he still looked outstanding.
"Lord Xiu Yi, I didn't expect you to come in person."
"Although my strength is meager, I don't want to miss the opportunity to participate in the war." Xiu Yi said in a cold tone, "It is said that the Royal City has prepared to send experts to attack. When the time comes, murderous intentions will be everywhere, and there will be no defense. The more strength, the more protection."
"Thank you." Samus nodded to him, and then looked at the boy on the other side. It was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with short golden hair that lay smoothly on his face, handsome features, and a gentle temperament. His pair of sapphire-like eyes were particularly beautiful, shining with charming brilliance.
"Are you the son of General Feilian?"
The young man smiled and bowed: "Yes, Lord Samus, my name is Feita, and I am here to help on behalf of my father this time."
Why would Feilian send a child here? Samus was confused.
"My father had wanted to join the alliance for a long time, but someone plotted against him a month ago and he was unable to make the trip. As a result, it has been delayed until now."
"How is his injury? Is it serious?" Samus asked.
"Thank you for your concern. Although he haven't recovered yet, his life is safe."
"That's good. I hope the general will take care of himself. We will need his help in the future against the Royal City."
Feita's mind was smart and he heard the implication of Samus' words. He thought that his arrival was just to show Kavos their stance on joining the war, and that the real help was yet to come. Samus did not take his strength into consideration.
Feita just smiled and didn't explain.
At this time, Xiu Yi said: "Your Excellency Samus, I want to visit Miss Duoduo in the afternoon. Is it convenient?"
Before Samus could answer, Feita said: "I have also been admiring Miss Duoduo for a long time, and hope to visit with Lord Xiu Yi."
"I'll ask her first. She hasn't been feeling well lately, and I don't know if she wants to see guests." The little guy was happily doing the rabbit thing, and didn't want to change into a human at all.
"Feeling unwell?" Xiu Yi asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
"It's not a big problem, don't worry..." After saying this, Samus' expression suddenly changed and he disappeared into the hall.
Xiu Yi and Feita looked at each other and walked quickly outside.
In the lord's mansion, Duoduo was studying the unique cultivation plan in the cradle of Xiao Hei. At this time, an insect emerged from the soil, its tentacles swaying, as if it was observing the surrounding environment.
With a snap, a grapevine flew down from the sky, beat it to death, and then buried it.
After a while, two more bugs emerged from the ground and crawled quickly in different directions.
Snapped! Snapped! K*lled to death as usual.
The vines swam slowly along the wall, looking around warily.
【Received early warning from garden plants: There are a lot of bugs lurking underground! 】The voice of the Book of Spiritual Wood suddenly sounded, and Duoduo was suddenly startled, lying on the side of the cradle and looking at the ground. With her consciousness open, the underground scene came into her mind. Countless black insects were squirming among the crisscrossing roots, layer upon layer, all over the center of the garden. It looked very scary.
Plants do attract some bugs, but such a huge number is definitely not natural.
At this time, two more bugs emerged from the ground. Hua Duo stopped Xiao Hei from beating them to death, and then wrapped them with spiritual power to prevent them from escaping. Although its magic is not strong, it can still deal with a few bugs.
Then, she sent a message to Samus:【A large number of bugs appeared underground in the Lord's Mansion. Come back quickly to k*ll the bugs, otherwise the plants will be eaten up! 】
After only a few dozen seconds of sound transmission, Samus appeared in Courtyard No. 1, followed by Wei Chen and others.
He saw the two bugs controlled by Duoduo at a glance. He walked over to take a closer look and said, "It's aphids!"
The aphid is a poisonous insect that lives underground and has a large population. It has a serrated mouth and likes to eat carrion. It can spread diseases and cause considerable harm to people, animals and plants. What's even more frightening is that it can break apart quickly. If it is not completely k*lled, some of its limbs can transform into new insect bodies in a short period of time.
"How many are there and in which directions are they mainly distributed?" Samus suddenly asked.
Several people around him looked confused, not knowing who Samus was asking.
【There are about tens of thousands of them, mainly distributed within a radius of three hundred meters. 】Rabbit replied.
Except for Samus, only Wei Chen felt the energy fluctuations of the sound transmission. He turned around and saw...the rabbit in the cradle?
Samus added: "These bugs must be cleaned up as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in trouble."
"Sir, how do you know there are bugs underground?" The people summoned by Samus were all puzzled.
"Now is not the time to explain." Samus muttered, "I remember that one of the top ten masters under Goro's magic is insect control."
Wei Chen nodded: "Yes, insect controller Fang Ye."
"Rosen, you and Utrey lead people to search for Fang Ye. He must be less than three thousand meters away from the Lord's Mansion at the moment."
Rosen and Utrey took the order and left.
Samues looked at the others and said, "Next we have to find a way to eliminate these bugs."
"They are hiding underground. We must lead them out first." Bai Dong said.
Samus paused and lowered his head in thought.
【I have a way to draw them out. 】Duoduo transmits the message.
Samus looked up at it.
【The energy fluctuations of supernatural plants can force them out of the ground. 】
"The toxins secreted by aphids are also extremely harmful to plants."
【Superpower plants have anti-toxic properties and self-healing abilities that ordinary plants do not have. As long as they move fast enough, the toxins of insects cannot cause harm to them. 】
"Okay, then we will k*ll them in batches." Samus ordered, "Bai Dong, prepare the insecticide. Wei Chen, ask everyone in the house to take precautions. Guze, prepare enough antidotes for treatment just in case."
Everyone acted independently in confusion.
Samus walked to Duoduo, wrapped him in his arms, lowered his head and said, "You stay here to avoid being chewed into bones by the swarm of insects."
Don’t underestimate her, she is used to k*lling insects! The rabbit raised its paws dissatisfiedly in his arms.
Within half an hour, everything was ready.
More than fifty heavily armed soldiers, holding insecticides in hand, surrounded Courtyard No. 1.
"Let's begin." Samus said to the rabbit in his arms.
Duoduo closed her eyes, and the energy of all the supernatural plants in the lord's garden slowly gathered into the ground of Courtyard No. 1, bypassing the bugs in other areas.
Samus and others suddenly felt a huge flow of energy and were slightly surprised.
After about four or five minutes, the soil turned up, and one insect after another spewed out of the ground like spring water. A mass of blackness rolled towards everyone.
The soldiers felt their scalps numb when they saw it, and they all raised their insecticides and sprayed them at the insects.
The insects made a shrill cry, and the yellow-green venom stained the ground with a pungent smell.
Xiao Hei was frightened, and all the vines quickly shrank upwards. If it weren't for the immobility of its roots, it would almost want to climb to the top of the sky. It is not afraid of one or two bugs, but if there are so many bugs, it can be piled up to death! It is just a weak and delicate little grape, the one who is most afraid of insects...
Hua Duo immediately activated her spiritual power to protect Xiao Hei and the red peach tree in her spiritual barrier.
Guze and others did not expect that there were so many bugs underground, and they broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the lord's mansion would have been overrun by insects by night.
They looked at Samus together, completely unable to guess how he discovered the danger? Wasn't he still waiting in the lobby just now? Could it be that while he was chatting with the guests, he kept his perception open, covering all the way from the Lord's Mansion to the Lord's Garden? This is too outrageous! And even so, the situation underground cannot be discovered by ordinary perception.
Everyone was puzzled and immediately looked up to Samus. He is worthy of being the Lord of Kavos. His strength is truly unfathomable!
Wei Chen was the only one present who was thoughtful.
【Samus, bugs in other places have also begun to move. 】Duoduo suddenly transmitted a message, 【Maybe the insect controller realized that the situation was not good and was preparing to retreat. 】
Samus said: "Let them go."
He raised his hand and led a group of soldiers to chase after him.
The remaining bugs quickly exited the lord's mansion and crawled south together.
Samus asked Wei Chen to contact Bai Dong and Utrey and ask them to meet them over there.
【The insect stopped. 】Rabbit reported the new situation.
Samus also stopped, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "We fell into a trap. That guy just used bugs to lure us away so that he could escape easily."
After the aphids lose control, they will gradually disperse in search of food. They rarely attack living people, and rotten corpses are their favorite.
It seems that the Royal City has changed its battle plan again and started to adopt more subtle methods.
Returning to the Lord's Mansion, Samus ordered everyone to step up their vigilance and investigate suspicious persons. From the beginning, they only investigated magicians, to all unidentified outsiders.
On the other side, Xiu Yi and Feita stood at a high place and took an overview of the process.
Xiu Yi had no unnecessary expression, but Feita was very interested, with a strange light shining in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I had to handle something just now." Samus arranged for Wei Chen to deal with the aftermath and re-entered the new city hall.
Xiu Yi and Feita said they didn't care.
At this time, both of them noticed the rabbit in his arms, a ball of white fluff, which was very cute.
Xiu Yi didn't expect that Samus would keep pets, and he would keep such soft little animals.
Feita stared at the rabbit for a long time, never looking away, his eyes flashing, not knowing what he was thinking.
Samus raised his hand and gently covered the rabbit's head exposed through his clothes, blocking Feita's sight.
"Sir, were you attacked just now?" Feita asked.
"Well, Goro sent his insect controllers in an attempt to use the aphids to sneak into the lord's mansion." Samus said with murderous intent and a sinister look on his face.
"I'm afraid their goal is Duoduo!" Feita said again.
Samus looked at him: "What do you want to say?"
Feita smiled and said: "Sir, please let me meet Miss Duoduo. Her ability is unique and related to the future development of Kavos and even the entire planet. There is no doubt that she has become Jintila's most feared and must be eliminated first. The target is in danger at any time. But you don't know how to turn this powerful ability into a weapon against Jintila, and you have wasted a lot of precious time."
Samus was stunned for a moment, looking squarely at the young man for the first time.
Xiu Yi asked: "Feita, may I ask, what is your magical ability?"
