Chapter 801: The Rear Border
Baiyue, Yunluo country.
Yunluo country is the westernmost part of Baiyue, and it is close to Annan, which can be regarded as the place closest to the Wushen Mountain.
It is precisely because of this that the ruler here has not been cut off from the Tao, and he is also an orthodox witch.
Orthodox witches are the three veins of divination, prayer, and clan.
Except for these three, none of them can be called orthodox.
The ruler of Yunluo country is a clan member, and he is also a son of Wushen Mountain.
His main purpose of becoming the ruler of Baiyue is to make a project report for his own Tao, which is a homework assigned to him by the clan for the fifth grade period.
Zong, in charge of the ceremony of establishing a country.
The transformation of destiny and things and the preservation of the clan, later generations like to use this word Zong, such as Zongzhu, Zongjiang, purpose, Zongmen, Zongfeng, Zongshi, Zongji, Zongpai, and religion, so-called "all clans are respected".
As a clan member, his duties and abilities exist as a real "manager".
Zhuren is responsible for mediation. As a middleman, he can balance various forces through sacrifices, so that the source of heaven and earth will move towards common prosperity.
The clan is responsible for specific matters. One of the main reasons why Li Qi can travel around the world to deal with those emergencies is that all kinds of affairs arrangements in places like Annan are handled by clansmen.
The specific implementation of a certain thing and the distribution of various materials are the factions in power and practical work.
The fortune teller is responsible for the situation. They are responsible for being consultants to the other two and providing them with intellectual support.
Zhuren is responsible for external affairs, clansmen are responsible for internal affairs, and fortune tellers assist both parties as intellectual consultants.
As a clan member, the specific affairs she is responsible for are the "country".
The country system is very common, and clansmen have a very deep study of the country. The Lord of Yunluo is very proficient in how the "country" system works, how to concentrate forces, how to defeat the country, how to build the country, and how to use this system to complete the tasks required by the witch.
Therefore, when he was at the sixth level, he chose to become the ruler of Baiyue, in order to lay the foundation for his fifth-level Taoism, and to conduct more in-depth research in this direction.
Therefore, Yunluo Kingdom can basically be said to be the most powerful country in the entire Baiyue, without a doubt.
Moreover, this is also the country that implements the most "Wu Dao". To be honest, there is no difference between this place and the hinterland of Wu Dao, and it is even more powerful than Annan next to it.
Because of this, Yunluo Kingdom has become an important logistics base, where talents and various resources are being produced and supplied to the front line for military supplies.
As the appearance of orthodox Wu Dao, the prosperity of nature has brought about the growth of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. For mortals, this place... even breathing will increase mana.
There are cities here, but they are just embellishments. Large areas of "due land" are the protagonists of the earth.
At this time, in a swamp in Yunluo Kingdom -
Yellow-bellied salamanders are swimming in the river, and thousands of larvae are floating on the water or crawling on the bottom of the water.
There are life-threatening animals there, huge crickets often extend their horn-like pincers to attack careless animals, and mosquitoes with a wingspan of 10 cm often buzz over the water.
A cricket more than one meter long is trapped in a spider web, and the huge spider is sucking the cricket's body fluids.
Because of the strong mountain and marsh energy, fungi grow unprecedentedly luxuriantly, and even a strange product like the "mushroom forest" has appeared.
In the mushroom forest, a desperate fight between two horned beetles, they open their mouths and rush at each other, their hard and smooth armors clattering, and when they attack each other with their bellies facing the sky, their legs are like countless cymbals waving in the air.
Ants are only 8 cm long, while giant termites are up to 30 cm long, with huge wings, and they fly like a kite.
Yellow fungi grow on the cliffs. The upper part of these mushrooms is dark red and orange, and the lower part is light yellow. They form a group of platforms above the quietly flowing river, and people can even stand on them.
The sun shines through the mist, and a large group of flying animals dance in the air. From time to time, crickets or locusts fly from one place to another like bullets.
Huge butterflies flutter happily in the sky above the quiet, seemingly lively world. Bees drag their bulky bodies and run around anxiously, looking for nectar on various flowers. You can see many small flower fairies similar to dragonflies showing the way to the bees. From time to time, there are thin-waisted wasps with yellow bellies flying in the air agilely. They seem to be searching for prey, but they don't attack the bees in the breeding grounds of these flowers.
In addition, there are buildings here.
But they are not houses on the ground, but underground.
Next to the swamp, there is a cave dug vertically in the sandy clay.
This is a well-dug round cave, with silk screens attached around the walls. The cave is about ten meters or more deep, and the bottom is wider, forming a cave-like cavity, where the owner and digger live.
The top of the cave is covered with a trap door, which is coated with mud and sprinkled with soil, camouflaged to be exactly the same as the surrounding soil. People or animals passing by here must have a pair of alert eyes to detect this cave entrance.
Entering this cave entrance, you can see... many species.
Some of them are monsters, and some are not. After all, not all creatures need to become monsters.
As long as a creature possesses the ‘three innate treasures’, that is, the ‘essence, qi and spirit’, it can practice without becoming a demon, and can practice any technique or path it wants.
As for those who don’t have them, the birth of the demon path is because they want to break this inequality, so they can make up for their innate deficiencies through the demon clan’s techniques, and then make later improvements.
Let alone those, there is actually an ant nest hidden in this place.
Going underground, the ant nest suddenly expanded. The ten-meter pipe above is just a straw, and below... is a swimming pool.
The swimming pool has countless straws extending to the outside, and a large amount of air is sucked in and discharged. The entire ant nest is like a huge bellows. If you listen closely, you can hear a very high, sharp noise.
Going deeper, the noise is closer, as if a giant beast is breathing, snoring, and rumbling, shaking the earth.
Fortunately, the earth is very wide, so if you don’t listen closely, you can’t hear this sound.
But if you get closer... you will find that the ant colony is constantly moving underground. There are tens of thousands of them, hundreds of millions of them, climbing up the hillside and crossing the depression, with their antennae waving constantly, and their two pairs of large jaws always open threateningly. The ground is full of ants, each one is a foot long.
Just one of these animals is enough to threaten an unarmed person, but now, they are a group of tens of thousands. Under their fierce pressure, the existence of this land is probably doomed to die. They are advancing unstoppably and quickly, making harsh creaking sounds and noisy clacking sounds.
But it is not chaotic.
These ants... are awake and sane, and they are... smelting.
Yes, smelting.
A large number of ants have collected a lot of materials, and these materials are all from the creatures outside.
Mushrooms, trees, all of this, when the black tide of ants swept over, those bees, wasps, crickets, and other crawling and wriggling animals that did not have time to escape were all buried in the ants' abdomens or torn into pieces.
Their remains were moved here by the ants, and through the poisonous insects in the ant nest, they began to smelt these insect demon remains and turned them into magic weapons for the ant army.
At the same time, deep in the ant army, the queen ant was talking with the Lord of Yunluo.
The Lord of Yunluo was a woman. Although she was a clan member, she did not look so serious and rigid. She was dressed very young and looked good. She looked like a gentle girl, about twenty years old.
The queen ant had white wings and a red head, three feet long, and dozens of large ants assisted her. The ants did not dare to approach, but surrounded the two of them.
One person and one ant were in
"Juzao, you have invaded his land again recently. This is the third time." Lord Yunluo said so.
She looked at the ants in front of her. These black ants were aggressive, black and slow, and could lift ten times as much as iron. They were a very powerful race, but recently... they were a little disobedient.
The queen ant named Ju Zao said: "Lord, the ant nest is expanding its production capacity for the front line, and there is no problem with the ecology."
"Everything you have created has exceeded your needs and the needs of the front line." Lord Yunluo shook his head: "If this continues, the production capacity will be increased, but it will go to the side of humanity. Ju Zao... take care of yourself."
"Lord..." The queen ant seemed to want to explain something, but Lord Yunluo had disappeared.
She didn't have time to say too much. At present, even the most stable Yunluo country has been on fire.
It is better to say that because of the special position of Yunluo country, it will attract the focus of humanity.
Therefore, now Yunluo country is full of various thoughts and confusions brought by humanity. These insects whose paths have not yet been fixed are particularly serious, especially ant nests, which are naturally close to humanity in social form. Many places have begun to carry out large-scale plunder under the banner of "for the front line".
This makes the head of Yunluo country very painful. She can neither slaughter these ant nests that have not "crossed the line" nor has a good way to stop the invasion of humanity's thoughts once and for all. She just beats them temporarily.
After all, the thoughts of humanity are indeed very attractive to these ants.
Really...
However, in the eyes of Yunluo country, humanity is actually quite despicable. Why can humanity boast of its nobility and greatness? Because they plunder things other than humans, they naturally have the ability and conditions to be noble.
Why don't those "beasts" understand? Because they were invaded and exploited, survival was a problem. How could they appreciate those beasts who had nothing? They were not qualified to pursue things that were too noble and great, but that did not mean they could not, but that they were not yet at that level.
Give them wings, and they would be able to soar into the sky.
This was the view of the Lord of Yunluo.
"Alas, my place..." She sighed, and could only say that the location of Yunluo was really not good, which led to this situation and was not easy to control.
It was not easy to control this point, which was good in normal times, but it was another story in wartime.
The Yunluo Kingdom has a humid climate, vast forests, and strong mountain air. It is a good place for forests, fungi, and insects to live. Here, low hills or fungal jungles are everywhere, and they are full of corrosion. From swamps to miasma-filled primeval forests, or rare snow-capped mountains and caves, most of the terrain of Yunluo Country is formed.
Terrain is not a problem, any kind of terrain can give birth to creatures, it just depends on whether it is suitable for the local terrain. Yunluo Country is naturally not suitable for human survival, but suitable for trees, fungi, and a small number of animals and insects, so this There are more local insects than people, and it is natural that there are more mushrooms than people.
This is part of nature. There is no need to do anything more. There are all kinds of creatures in any place. The beauty of nature is that no matter what the situation is, whether it is a bad state like endless void with nothing, or In a world that has everything, the ocean, the earth, the void, the sky, the swamps, the underground, every place has its own life and its own unique ecosystem.
Moreover, all ecosystems will reach a delicate balance. This is the greatness of nature.
For the leader of Yunluo Kingdom, she would not deliberately find fault with the country she governs, because she usually does a good job, but this time... the insects suddenly taught her a lesson.
Insects, especially ants and hives, seem to be naturally more inclined to the highly clustered morality of humanity, and humanity is unusually attractive to them.
Nowadays, the information deliberately infiltrated by humanity is like carrion, attracting all the insect swarms. Despite the repeated beatings of King Yunluo, the insect swarms that are ready to move have begun to affect the rear area.
Lord Yunluo was thinking whether he was too gentle and maybe he needed to take action.
As she thought, dark clouds appeared in the gloomy sky. Clouds containing water vapor dropped heavy rain. A layer of disgusting moisture covered everything, causing the fungi to quickly emit spores. A cloud-like spore gas was formed. The light yellow spores attached to almost everything, and then germinated strains. One after another, the small umbrellas gradually opened. In just a few minutes, the fungi germinated based on this shower. millions of.
However, at the same time, many insects crawled out, and they began to pick and cut these tender fungi, which were also the food of the insects.
The thoughts of a king brought a unique harvest to Yunluo Kingdom.
But at this time, Lord Yunluo discovered that a spell came in front of him.
Um? !
Is it Senior Brother Li Qi?
