Chapter 28 Pest Control
Chapter 28 Pest Control
The boy's words were full of sincerity. For a moment, the fish pond was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Li Quanshu's smile froze on his face: "Junior brother, although you are handsome, you don't need to speak with your mouth."
Li Quanqing felt a little aggrieved: "Senior sister, what you said really hurts my heart. I have always regarded you as a respected brother like Senior Brother Quanlin!"
Li Quanshu was too lazy to pay attention to him: "Open the formation. Is it because of some evil insects that the big black fish has become manic and has a strong desire to attack?"
Li Quanqing nodded, a little hesitantly: "Senior Sister, those bugs are very difficult to deal with."
"Don't worry, I'm sure."
The girl stood at the bow, her robe rustling in the sea breeze, her eyebrows flying, and she looked heroic.
As soon as she entered the formation, a large black carp that was parasitic jumped out of the water with a splash and hit her like a cannonball.
Li Quanshu remained calm and waved his hand. Wherever the magic power in his palm passed, the temperature dropped sharply and a layer of ice formed on the sea water in the blink of an eye.
Click!Click!
The cold air surged, the ice spread, the big bluefish struggled a few times, and was directly frozen in the thick and hard ice.
"Ice-type skills!"
Li Quanqing looked at her in surprise that the girl had actually changed the "Cloud and Water Sutra" that she was originally practicing.
Wind, Thunder, and Ice are the three most famous spiritual roots, but there are very few skills matching them, and no one knows where the other party got them from.
"Water and fire are naturally in conflict with each other, so cultivation is difficult. My father spent a lot of effort and finally found a copy of "Ice Purity Art."
"He hopes that I can use the power of ice to completely suppress the fire spirit root in my body. It is indeed much easier to practice now than before."
The biting coldness hit Li Quanqing's face, making him feel a little nervous.
For low-level cultivators, the attack power of water spells is indeed much weaker than that of ice spells.
Li Quanshu looked at him with a playful look: "Junior brother, do you want to learn it too? Although this technique does not have the foundation-building chapter, it is powerful enough for us."
When Li Quanqing heard this, he gave up instantly.
Chichi!
The big black carp was trapped in the ice and couldn't move. A trace of cold air invaded the ice, and soon the sharp and painful sound of insects could be heard.
The green fish scales bulged, and demonic insects emerged one after another, as slender as hooks, making people's scalps tingle.
They opened their ferocious mouthparts covered with serrations and began to gnaw on the ice, making a rustling sound similar to that of silkworms eating mulberry leaves.
"These monster insects are extremely afraid of the cold, so we can use this to force them to get out of the big black fish's body, thus reducing the losses of fishermen and farmers."
Li Quanqing thought of the moonlight condensed by the Bright Moon Shell, which was also a Taiyin object and happened to have a certain restraining effect.
The girl stared at it without blinking, and suddenly sighed: "What a pity..."
As dozens of transformed demon insects emerged completely, the whole big bluefish made a snapping sound and its body suddenly broke into pieces.
The boiling demon blood dyed the ice red. The fat and strong fish now seemed as fragile as paper.
The tails of those insects were completely integrated into the spine of the herring, turning into green bones covered with skin and flesh, dragging behind the body.
All that was left was a huge fish head, with its eyes staring and its mouth wide open, looking futile and helpless.
When Li Quanqing saw this terrifying scene, he suddenly felt a pain in his old waist.
“This fish is doomed.”
Li Quanshu came to a conclusion and pressed it lightly with her bare hands.
Click, click, click!
The ice layer collapsed completely, and the cold air broke out completely, freezing the insects and the big blue carp into ice chips.
They stood on the lotus platform, protected their bodies with formations, and quickly became busy in the fish pond.
Some of the big black carps had just been parasitized not long ago, and their skeletons had not yet been assimilated by the evil insects.
Just a little bit of cold air can drive the monster insects out of the fish's belly.
As soon as the insects crawled out of the ice, Li Quanqing immediately used the Gengjin sword energy to chop them into meat paste, cutting off all life.
Only then would Li Quanshu thaw the ice and release the severely frozen big black carp, at least to save its life. With the golden finger, any big black carp that had not been completely rid of the worms would be caught and executed on the spot.
In one day, they killed a total of 500 big blue carps, but only 70 or 80 were saved.
"What a heavy loss!"
Li Quanqing crushed a few green fish scales, which were as brittle as dead and rotten wood, and his heart was bleeding.
The demon insect parasitizes the spinal column and when it is on the verge of death it will swallow up all the essence in the host's body in one gulp, leaving nothing behind.
Those big black carps that died really died in vain.
Blood, flesh, essence, scales, tendons and bones all make up these insects.
Li Quanqing felt sorry for the spiritual sand and spiritual stones, but he felt even more sorry for the light ball rewards that he had not had time to harvest.
Surprisingly, those stone loaches have no scales and have a skin that is harder than rock.
He actually managed to escape.
"The loss is indeed not small, but if we talk about the worst, you are not even on the list, Junior Brother."
Li Quanshu sat cross-legged on the other side of the reef, holding a spirit stone in his hand, meditating and practicing under the moonlight, recovering the magic power that had been consumed in large quantities during the day.
"The insect plague in the fish ponds of Area B is truly horrific. There are even jade carps that have been parasitized and their entire bodies have been hollowed out, with demon butterflies at the Qi Refining stage flying out from inside!"
The scene was truly horrifying, with demonic butterflies flying across the sky, blocking out the sun, and giving birth to new life on the corpse of the spirit fish.
The big blue fish's dream of becoming a fairy had not even begun when its stomach was emptied and it was nothing more than a wedding dress.
Upon hearing that the Li family's foundation-building was disturbed, he asked the family leaders to temporarily block the news in order to find out who was behind it.
However, Li Quanqing felt that the probability was low.
Those elders haven't even figured out the name and origin of this insect.
"During this period, all the family monks who followed the Ice Path were secretly summoned, but the number was too small."
"Fortunately, with the help of a large number of ice-attribute talismans, the insect plague in the fish pond in Area B has not been further expanded."
Li Quanshu lay on the rock, teasing the iron-bone crab, slapping the water with her toes, with a rare look of fatigue between her delicate eyebrows:
"However, since you have also found demon insects here, I am afraid that the remaining fish ponds will not be spared!"
The girl's guess was correct, only two days had passed.
The fish ponds in Area B, which stretched for hundreds of miles, began to suffer from insect plagues one after another. The whole tribe was in an uproar and looked worried.
Time is short and the task is heavy, so we have to solve Li Quanqing’s problem.
Li Quanshu did not even have time to rest. Under the arrangement of his family, he continued to go to other areas to complete the task of killing insects.
Looking at the empty fish pond, there are big black carps swimming leisurely in the water in twos and threes.
Li Quanqing was a little uncomfortable at first.
Suck! Suck!
The discordant voice rang out, breaking the sad atmosphere at the right time.
The Iron-Bone Crab King held a demon insect in his pincers and ate it with gusto and great joy.
It was like eating spicy noodles. I swallowed the whole thing into my stomach. It was so delicious that I kept tapping the stone surface with my crab legs, making a tapping sound.
The remaining iron-bone crabs were also fighting for it. Some of them sucked on the same one, and the body of the demon insect broke with a pop, and juice flowed out.
"Is it really that delicious?"
Li Quanqing was actually a little curious.
These were the corpses of insects that had been frozen to death. On a whim, he kept some and tried to feed them to the iron-bone crabs.
Unexpectedly, the effect is surprisingly good.
[Harvest an Iron-bone Crab in the Early Stage of Qi Refining, and be rewarded with a Top-grade Vajra Talisman! ]
After eating a few spicy strips, the Iron-Bone Crab King finally entered its maturity stage.
