Chapter 74 The Power of the Ice Formation

But the honey must be collected anyway. Long Xuan looked at the fist-sized queen bee in his palm, coughed lightly, and said amiably: "Bingbing, you said your relatives have lived in my medicine garden for so long, it's time to pay taxes."

"This medicine garden is mine, they live in my medicine garden, do you think they should pay taxes?"

"All the spiritual medicines here are planted by me with great effort, and all the pollen they collected is also mine. Since they took my things, should they pay taxes?"

"Their beehives are protected by my ice formation and can be protected from natural enemies. Living here is 100% safe, so should they pay protection taxes?"

"I calculated it carefully for you, what are the scenery tax, safety tax, drinking water tax, single tax, honey tax, income tax, property tax, property tax, protection tax, head tax, breathing tax, sunbathing tax, living and working tax, land value-added tax, farmland occupation tax, environmental protection tax..."

Long Xuan counted the tax types while counting his fingers, and finally found that ten fingers were not enough, so he had to give up.

"Okay! That's all I can think of for now, and I'll add more later."

"These taxes are not much in total, and each household only needs to hand in half of the honey every month."

"You go collect taxes from every household now, and whoever dares to resist the tax will not be given royal jelly in the future."

Long Xuan pointed excitedly, and suddenly his expression froze, wondering if he was a little too harsh.

The group of spirit bees love honey like their lives, and collecting their honey is like asking for their lives. They won't be forced to rebel.

Don't overthrow Bingbing just after he succeeded to the position of queen bee.

He thought that since he wanted to develop the number of ice bees in large quantities and make them form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, he must leave them with sufficient food. The more food, the faster they reproduce.

What's more, he is alone, with a limited appetite, and can't eat so much honey. It would be a complete waste to ask for too much.

For these three reasons, Long Xuan changed his idea of ​​​​adding 50% tax rate, and planned to only ask for 20%, and let Bingbing handle the tax collection.

Bingbing seemed very interested in collecting honey from every household. She swallowed hard and could not wait to do it.

With the suppression of the queen bee's blood and the coercion and inducement of royal jelly, all the spirit bees surrendered obediently.

There was no peasant uprising in the spirit beast world. Long Xuan was totally overthinking it.

But what he didn't expect was that this clever little ghost dared to go against his will and collect twice as much honey. As for the extra honey, it moved all the honey to its own home.

If Long Xuan knew what it did, he would be angry to death.

After successfully collecting the honey, Long Xuan was in a good mood. He immediately made a cup of honey water, and used the Ice God Flame to make some crushed ice and put it into the honey water, and drank it lightly.

After drinking the cool honey water, he immediately felt a coolness all over his body. The sweetness was mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and it was cold and delicious. How could it be described with just one word?

The honey made from the fourth-grade pollen was indeed delicious and did not disappoint Long Xuan. After drinking a cup, he immediately showed an intoxicated expression.

"This is life, a cup of honey water, happy like a fairy!"

"Sure enough! Nowhere is more comfortable than staying at home, and no place is more safe than staying at home." Long Xuan raised the cup and sighed.

However, just as he finished his words, the ice formation suddenly shook wildly, as if it was hit by something crazy.

Long Xuan was startled by this sudden change, and his sigh was interrupted.

What happened? We just said that it was safe to stay at home. How could there be danger if we didn't go anywhere? Could it be that a meteorite would fall from the sky? Long Xuan was shocked.

At this moment, the killing array of the ice array seemed to be triggered by something, and ice-blue fireballs flew out of the sky one after another and hit the distance.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Long Xuan only felt the sound of fireballs whistling in his ears one after another. Countless fireballs flew over his head. In an instant, it was like fire in the sky, and they smashed madly outside the array.

Soon, there was a sound of bombardment outside the array, and the dense explosions were endless, as if it was bombarded by eight artillery regiments in succession, and the earth was shaking wildly.

"Is this Shulia firepower?" Seeing this terrifying scene, Long Xuan was stunned.

Although he arranged this ice array, he did not expect the firepower of the ice array to be so strong. This was the first time he activated the killing array, and it was also the first time he saw the attack power of the ice array.

Long Xuan immediately ran in the direction of the fireball. When he ran to the edge of the formation, he saw a group of spirit beasts attacking his medicine garden. He finally understood what was going on.

Although the beast tide had been intercepted by the Gu Xiu coalition, it was impossible to intercept it 100%.

From time to time, there are still small groups of beasts that pass through the defense line and go deep into the back of the human world.

Now there are news about spirit beasts slaughtering villages.

Obviously, this group of beasts should be the fish that slipped through the front line. After passing through the heavy defense lines, they went deep into the hinterland and prepared to plunder Dashi Village.

However, Long Xuan’s large medicine garden is just in front of Dashi Village, which happens to be the only way for the spirit beast army.

So his large medicine garden will naturally be attacked fiercely by the spirit beast army. The spirit beasts seem to want to wipe out this stronghold. This is really a disaster from the sky. It is not safe to stay at home.

Is this considered to be blocking the disaster for Dashi Village?

Long Xuan was stunned, but even though his medicine garden was being attacked by the spirit beast army, he was not panicked at all at this time.

In this world, the strength of Gu Xiu and the power of the formation are completely unequal.

Although he is just a small Gu Xiu in the Gathering Spirit Stage, the Ice Formation is far from the attack power of the Gu Xiu in the Gathering Spirit Stage.

If the attack power of the formation is equal to the realm of the Gu cultivator, how dare Master Jin settle down in the wild, how dare Emperor Xin settle down in the prairie?

The formation with the attack power of the Gathering Spirit Stage will never give them such a great sense of security.

Long Xuan's formation is inherited from Master Jin's cave protection formation, and with the addition of the Ice God Flame as the treasure of the formation, the power has been multiplied several times out of thin air. How can an ordinary herd of beasts attack it just by saying so?

Just look at the firepower in the sky to see how strong the attack power of this formation is.

"My master's ice formation is not something you can take down just because you want to. You are really overestimating yourself. You have provoked the wrong person! You are finished!"

Looking at the group of spirit beasts that were attacking the formation, Long Xuan showed a disdainful look.

The fireballs in the sky were like rain, and the dense rain of fireballs fiercely bombarded the herd of beasts, and the screams of spirit beasts came from the herd.

The ground was full of unceasing cold flames. The spirit beasts engulfed by the cold flames were either burned to death or turned into ice sculptures.

The thin spirit armor on their bodies was completely useless, just like paper, and the cold flames could easily burn through them.

What kind of power is the Frost Divine Flame? It is far more powerful than Long Xuan's Fiery Palm. Once hit by the Frost Divine Flame, you will die even if you are a beast king, not to mention that you are a peak first-level spirit beast.

It is also the bad luck of this spirit beast army that they accidentally entered such a peerless fierce formation. It is considered to be unlucky for eight lifetimes...

This beast group is about 500 in size, and there are quite a lot of them. There are all kinds of spirit beasts, even the air force flying in the sky. It is a ragtag army.

However, the firepower of the Frost Divine Array is too strong, and this number of beasts is not enough.

Dense fireballs bombarded the center of the beast group, pouring down on the heads of the beast group one after another. In a blink of an eye, most of the spirit beast army was killed or injured, and all the spirit beasts were stunned.

Even the flying spirit beasts in the sky could not escape the bad luck. The dense fireballs were like anti-aircraft missiles, sweeping wildly in the sky.

The flying spirit beasts dodged flexibly, dodging one, and then dodging the second... but they could not dodge the tenth one after all.

After being hit by the fireball, he screamed, his whole body was wrapped in blue fire, and he fell from the sky and hit the ground heavily.

If he was lucky, he would fall directly on the back of a ground spirit beast, and the spirit beast would be burned to death together.

The scene was simply a purgatory on earth. There was fire everywhere in the sky and on the ground. There was no place to stand. The fire fell on the ground for a long time, burning feet everywhere, and the screams of spirit beasts were everywhere.

This army of spirit beasts suffered heavy losses in just one encounter. I don’t know how many spirit beasts died in the sea of ​​fire. The scene was horrible.

When the army of spirit beasts found that this was a forbidden area that could not be attacked, it was too late to escape.

The attack range of the killing array was extremely large, and the firepower was too strong. Even if the remaining spirit beasts fled frantically, they would die in large numbers. It was unknown how long it would take to escape the attack range of the killing array.

In the end, there were corpses all over the ground. Only a few dozen spirit beasts were lucky enough to escape, and the rest of the entire army died here. It was simply miserable.

After all the spirit beasts died, the fireballs finally stopped pouring, and the formation slowly turned, returning to its original calm state.

If there were no animal corpses and a sea of ​​fire here, telling what had just happened, it would be hard to imagine that this place had just experienced a tragic battle, and this stable formation could actually have such a terrifying killing power.

Long Xuan couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. The terrifying scene of the sea of ​​fire falling from the sky just now was too visually shocking. It was so spectacular that it was even more powerful than the special effects of a blockbuster movie, and he was very addicted to it.

After taking a deep breath, his eyes showed excitement, and he quickly rushed out of the formation.

There were five hundred animal carcasses outside, but there was a lot of materials left. Now he was making a fortune. He was making a fortune.

You must know that his ice divine flame is different from normal flames. Normal flames will burn the spiritual beasts, leaving nothing behind, and the parasitic spiritual insects in the body will also be burned to death.

But his Ice Divine Flame is different. Most of the creatures burned by the Ice Divine Flame will turn into ice sculptures, and their animal body will be completely preserved.

Moreover, the frozen animal meat will not spoil for a long time. He can sell the animal meat to Qian's Restaurant and make a small fortune.

There are five hundred animal corpses here, and even if they just sell the animal meat, they will make a profit.

Long Xuan was overjoyed and called all the clones back to get a large number of storage bags, and then began to pick up treasures all over the ground.

There were a total of five hundred animal carcasses, some large and some small. It would take him a long time to pick them up, and he didn't know if the storage bag would be enough.

When Long Xuan casually stuffed an elephant into his storage bag and saw the ice sculptures closest to him, he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

"Hey! Isn't this the legendary Beast King? How are you guys doing?"

Long Xuan laughed loudly. After seeing clearly what species the beast king in the ice sculpture was, his eyes suddenly lit up and his smile became even brighter.

Good guy, this tiger king turns out to be a Tyrannosaurus rex.

The Tyrant Tiger had abnormal defense power, but it still couldn't withstand the damage from the Ice Divine Flame. He was killed before his abilities could be used, and his death was really unfair.

The most important thing is that after this year, the flame clone has almost collected the best spiritual insects and best animal materials needed for the dragon Gu recipe.

All that is needed is a top-quality spiritual insect related to tigers and a beast like a tiger king.

His Gu recipe only lacked one body part of the Tiger King's foot, and he could completely assemble it into a divine dragon.

And whatever he asked for came, the Tiger King animal materials that the Flame Clone had not collected for a long time were actually delivered to his door.

Not only was a perfect tiger paw sent, but coincidentally, there happened to be a top-quality spiritual insect in its spiritual core.

With the two top-quality materials obtained at the same time, all the most difficult-to-collect materials for the Dragon Gu Gu recipe can be considered completely collected.

Although the remaining large and small materials are huge in quantity, they can all be purchased with spirit stones, so there is no need to worry.

In other words, when he created the dragon voodoo voodoo recipe, he could refine the voodoo voodoo on the same day, which was simply astonishingly efficient.

At first, he was still worried about how to collect so many top-quality materials, and whether it would take ten years to collect them all.

I never expected that Gu Fang would have already prepared all the materials before he could create it. Things are really unpredictable.

The elephant was really a bit heavy. After putting the elephant into the storage bag, he felt a little tired, so he followed the old rules and handed all the dirty work to the clones, letting them exercise and supervise their exercise. .

After putting the Tiger King who had turned into an ice sculpture into a storage bag, he showed a proud smile again. There were indeed a lot of happy things today.

However, just as he was walking into the medicine garden, his eyes that had moved suddenly looked at the location he had just looked at again.

He couldn't help but rub his eyes and looked at that location again, his expression suddenly changed.

"Grass! Where is my spirit stone!"

Long Xuan was completely confused. He quickly ran towards the center of the formation and hurriedly touched the empty air with his hands.

This is the backup energy source for the formation. There are obviously piles of spiritual stones used as energy for the formation to operate, but now it is empty, not even half of the spiritual stone.

"Where's my spiritual stone! I have such a huge spiritual mountain!"

Long Xuan was about to collapse, and he still had the proud smile just now.

At this time, he had to recognize a terrible fact. People must believe in science and the law of conservation of energy.

The more terrifying the attack power generated by the formation, then the energy needed to create such terrifying attack power is naturally needed.

Just now, the sky looked like it was on fire. It looked quite enjoyable, but in fact, the energy consumption was also quite enjoyable. Attack power and energy consumption were completely positively correlated.

If it wasn't as he expected, the formation's reserve energy seemed to have been exhausted by the round of indiscriminate bombing just now.

This is tragic, extreme joy brings sorrow.

Everything will turn to its opposite when it reaches its extreme. If the power of the formation is too great, it may not be a good thing.

It seems that he has harvested 500 beast materials without any effort, but if the consumption of the formation is counted, he may not earn much.

Just now, the power was obviously excessive, causing too much unnecessary waste.

It was also the first time that he was inexperienced and neglected. Sometimes he really couldn't let the formation process automatically.

The energy source of the formation has three places. One is from the spiritual power of nature. The formation absorbs the spiritual power in the air all the time to maintain the daily consumption of the formation, so that the formation is always running.

The second place comes from the spiritual power reserve at the center of the formation, which is also the place where the spiritual stones are stored. Each formation must store a large amount of spiritual stones here. The higher the level of the spiritual stones, the better. Of course, if there is a higher-level energy source, it will be better.

If the spiritual power in the air cannot maintain the consumption of the formation, then the formation will mobilize the spiritual power of the spiritual stones here.

The third energy source comes from the treasure at the center of the formation. The energy level of this third energy source is the highest, which is related to the highest attack power of the formation and the upper limit of the formation, and can provide the formation with the greatest power.

When the killing formation is activated, the energy consumption will inevitably increase. The thin spiritual power in the air is definitely not enough, and the spiritual stones in the reserve must be used.

Just now, the sky was like a terrifying scene of fire. If the energy consumption is not large, then there must be something fishy.

It is normal for the spiritual stones to be used up...
