Chapter 211 Light Vehicle Aircraft (Ⅰ)
The digger who detonated the alchemy bomb was blasted to pieces on the spot.
The blazing glue poured into the bomb splashed on the giant worm, burning it blazingly, making it quickly turn into a large torch.
No matter how the giant worm rolled and struggled, it couldn't extinguish the raging fire. There was scorched black smoke coming out of its body, and it was about to be burned into coke.
The diggers entrenched in other cave entrances were also frightened by the sudden explosion, and frantically crawled out of the cave.
Unfortunately, the alchemy bombs that Joan planted at the entrance of the cave in advance were triggered by the manic giant worms one after another.
Three roars sounded one after another, and broken flesh and blood mixed with pasture and sand flew all over the sky.
When the explosion subsided, two of the five earth diggers were killed, and the remaining three were also struggling in the fire, dying.
"Okay, I take back what I said earlier."
Ah Zhi smiled awkwardly.
"The 'alchemy bomb' invented by Mr. Benny is more effective than I expected."
"It seems that there are only five earth diggers in total. Before they can escape to the depths of the cave, let's get rid of them all."
Xiaomiao pulled out the twin blades of ice and fire, and his figure disappeared out of thin air in a flash, and appeared next to the burrower closest to him in the next moment.
She first activated the special enchanting function of the "Frost Dagger", swung a white mist of frost to freeze the limbs of the monster that was struggling to move, and thrust out the flaming rapier in her right hand obliquely at a tricky angle. The strange insect pierced through the gaps in the thick carapace, and penetrated deep into the internal organs.
puff!
Xiaomiao flicked her wrist, and the rapier stirred in the worm's body at high speed. Before the prey was dying to counterattack, she drew the sword decisively and flew back.
The burrower missed its last attack and let out a desperate whine.
The wound pierced by Xiaomiao's rapier continued to spray green body fluids, and the huge body fell down, trembling and stopped breathing.
At the same time that Xiao Miao shot, Joan released today's third spell.
A handful of fine sand mixed with three colors of red, yellow and blue was thrown out, turning into a cone-shaped rainbow, causing the two burrowers on the opposite side to stumble at the same time.
George Vassar charged forward decisively with his sword!
The "Flame Tongue Sword" dragged the raging flames and slashed continuously. The two stunned diggers were beheaded before they even had time to resist.
From the sound of the explosion to the death of all five diggers, the battle lasted a total of two minutes.
Looking at the still burning insect corpses, Joan twitched the corners of his mouth, secretly regretting that he could not recover the trophies such as the burrower plastron and tentacles.
Major Vasa put his sword back into its sheath, turned around and summoned the family servants, and ordered them to fetch water to extinguish the flames spreading on the grass.
The servants carried buckets to fetch water from the river, and after half an hour of busy work, they finally put out the fire.
Calm returned to the scorched grass, and even the caves of the diggers were collapsed by bombs, saving the trouble of filling them up.
The bug infestation on the riverbanks was gone, but Mount Vernon was far worse off than Custis's garden.
In addition to diggers, there are other pests entrenched in the pasture, and both the number and the damage are more than diggers.
Joan and the others put away their weapons and equipment, rode on mules and horses, and followed Major Vasa along the meadow until they reached the end of the pasture. In front of them was a large dense forest growing along the foot of the mountain.
"According to my observations these days, there are many huge beetles lurking in the dense forest. They hide in the forest during the day and come out to hunt at night."
Major Vasa reveals to Joan and his party the huge threat hidden in the seemingly peaceful depths of the woods.
"The animals in the forest are either hunted by the strange insects or run away. The strange insects cannot get enough food in the forest. Recently, they have entered my pasture more and more frequently, attacking livestock and even herdsmen. In order to ensure the safety of humans and animals, we must try to keep them They wiped them all out."
"Mr. Vasa, the forest is no more than a narrow cave. We can't use the previous method to drive out the pests. It would be too risky to go into the dense forest to hunt the monsters."
Joan observed the dense forest opposite, and truthfully expressed his concerns.
"I totally agree with you."
Major Vassar sighed helplessly.
"After thinking about it, there is only one way to completely eliminate the pests in the forest."
"Are you planning to..." Joan couldn't help but change his face, "Set fire to the forest?"
Major Vassar nodded expressionlessly, and said in a calm to almost cold tone:
"It is indeed a pity to destroy this forest. It will cause me great property losses. However, in order to completely eradicate the pests, to prevent more livestock from being harmed, and to free people from the shadow of panic, we have no choice!"
Joan was speechless.
It would be too costly to set fire to a hundred acres of woods for the sake of exterminating a few vermin, but he could think of no safer alternative.
"Mr. Vasa, if your purpose is to drive the pests out of the dense forest so that they can be eliminated in open areas, then I can offer a better suggestion than setting fire to the forest." Teacher Benny said slowly.
"Mr. Benny, please advise."
Teacher Benny pushed his glasses, and instead of answering Mr. Major's question immediately, he asked Joan, "How much insecticide did you bring today?"
Joan opened the storage bag and counted, looked up and answered: "A total of 25 small bottles, each weighing 1 pound, and 50 large bottles, twice the capacity of the small bottle." The small bottle is a milk bottle, and the large bottle is a wine bottle.
"Less..."
"I carry the materials for preparing insecticides with me, and it doesn't take too much trouble to make temporary deployments." Joan patted the storage bag.
Teacher Benny nodded, and thought about it: "If we can spread these insecticides in the forest as evenly as possible, the medicinal liquid will adhere to the branches and leaves of plants and trees, and the special smell it emits will be able to kill the insects hidden in the forest. The pests are driven out, just like we just smoked the diggers out of the cave with the lit smoked mosquito plant and cockscomb stone."
After listening to Mr. Benny's idea, Major Vasa frowned: "The question is how do we evenly spray the pesticide in the forest? This forest covers an area of nearly a hundred acres. If we enter the dense forest and spray the pesticide, it is possible Attacked by monsters."
"Why do we have to go into the jungle and spray pesticides?"
Teacher Benny smiled and raised his index finger, pointing upwards.
"I have invented a flying machine which can carry no more than eight hundred pounds in the air."
"Using this aircraft, we can transport a large number of bottled insecticides tied with 'thunderbolts' to the sky above the woods, and throw insecticides into the woods from the air."
"The moment the medicine bottle hits the ground, it detonates the 'Thunderbolt', and the impact generated by the explosion will spray the insecticide around. Countless tiny droplets diffuse in the dark and windless forest, forming a persistent smog. The pests are either killed or forced to flee the dense forest."
