Chapter 198 198. High or Low Can Live a Few More Episodes
"What... is going on?" Fang Qingyao couldn't help but ask.
Jinjiu pointed to a place outside the window.
"Where are the people..." As soon as the words fell, the three people suddenly saw countless snakes, insects, rats and ants swarming out of the surrounding grass.
In broad daylight, this dark and dense area is creepy to look at.
Not to mention Fang Qingyao, even Fang's father, a man who had lived for almost fifty years, was frightened and turned pale.
This is not a question of courage, but the fact that there are so many creatures, and they are recognized as poisonous insects and pests, which any normal person would be afraid of.
Seeing all these creatures rushing towards the car like a tide, Fang's father directly took out the medicine powder that Jinjiu had given him before. Seeing this, Fang Qingyao also took out the medicine powder as if she got a hint.
Father Fang decisively opened the car window a little, and was about to tear open the paper bag a little and sprinkle the powder out, when he heard Jin Jiu remind him: "No need to tear it, just throw it away."
Reason told Mr. Fang that the powder in the paper bag would not spill out unless he opened it, but his body made a subconscious choice - he just threw the entire bag out.
The next second, there was a muffled sound, and the paper bag exploded. The powder inside fell to the ground and onto the bodies of these terrible creatures!
These creatures fell to the ground and died almost the moment they were contaminated by the powder, which shows how highly targeted the powder is to these creatures!
Seeing this, Fang Qingyao followed suit and threw out several paper bags. She didn't know if it was because she was closer to the person who was following them, so there were the most insects in this direction. After throwing out these paper bags, although a large number of poisonous insects were killed, there were still quite a few on the ground.
Just when Fang Qingyao was about to throw a few more out, those poisonous insects seemed to sense the threat and retreated like a tide, fleeing for their lives.
Father Fang: ...
Fang Qingyao: ...
Jin Jiu raised his eyebrows, thinking that these poisonous insects were quite interesting. They seemed to know how to deal with current affairs. At least they could live a few more episodes.
Unlike Jinjiu's calmness and Fang's father and Fang Qingyao's relaxation, the people hiding in the dark were so angry that their faces turned blue when they saw that so many of the poisonous insects they had carefully raised had died.
"Great Witch, what should we do?" a young man with long hair asked angrily.
The one called the Great Wizard was an old man who looked to be in his sixties. His face was different from the kind face of ordinary old men. At this moment, he had a gloomy face and looked very scary.
It is no exaggeration to say that it can stop children from crying at night!
He said coldly: "There is a master among them."
Obviously, he said something nonsense.
Anyone who is not blind can see that there is an extremely powerful person next to this father and daughter.
But the other side is powerful, even more powerful than them. You know, the poisonous insects they carefully cultivate cannot be killed by ordinary anthelmintics.
If it were really that easy, wouldn't they have wasted so much energy on cultivating it in vain?
But even so, it cannot change the fact that their poisonous insects were easily killed by the other side.
"Release your old fellow." The Great Wizard ordered coldly. If it was in the past, when he ordered like this, the others would definitely agree without saying anything, and even wish they could have more such opportunities.
But this time, they all backed off.
"Great witch... this..."
Someone hesitated, and was then interrupted by the Great Wizard with a cold voice: "Why, are you scared?"
"No, no."
Everyone shook their heads, not daring to admit it, but they were definitely afraid in their hearts, because the 'old guy' mentioned by the great witch was their natal Gu worm!
The natal poisonous insect is a poisonous insect that has been fed with their flesh and blood since childhood. It is very powerful and cannot be compared with ordinary creatures.
Even if the poisonous insect is only as thick as the tip of a needle, as long as it can drill into the body of another creature, even if the creature is a tiger or an elephant, it will be easily eaten up.
Since the natal poisonous insect is so powerful, it naturally comes at a price, and the price is that it needs to be constantly fed with flesh and blood.
And it can't be ordinary flesh and blood. The more spiritual the creature's flesh and blood is, the faster their strength will grow after they eat it.
On the other hand, if they have been using the flesh and blood of ordinary creatures all the time, then not only will their natal poisonous insect not increase in strength, it may even regress.
If the poisonous insect normally eats well, it may even starve to death because it despises ordinary food.
The Mi tribe mainly relies on the ability to control poisonous insects and poisonous insects to survive. Once their natal poisonous insect dies, not only will their vitality be seriously damaged, but their status in the tribe will also be greatly reduced.
Living in the Mi tribe, they can enjoy endless wealth and glory, but this wealth and glory are all conditional, and the condition here is their strength.
Only if they become strong can they keep all of this, otherwise they will not only lose their luxurious life, but also become inferior people in the Mi tribe, or even become... insect food.
It was mentioned before that, 'the more spiritual the creature's flesh and blood, the faster the poisonous insect's strength will grow after consuming it.' The spirituality here can be understood as 'IQ', and in this world, what is the creature with the highest IQ?
are people.
In other words, once they lose the strong power to support their status, they will be sent to feed the poisonous insects in the tribe.
In order to cultivate their own poisonous insects, powerful people will even spend a certain amount of resources to buy insect food. These insect foods can be spiritual creatures searched for by the Mi tribe, or they can be humans, or even their own tribesmen.
"What are you still standing there for? Don't you even listen to what I say?" The Great Witch saw that everyone was indifferent and his face was filled with anger.
I cursed in my heart that these were a bunch of useless trash!
I consumed so many resources within the clan in vain, and now when something really happened, there's nothing I can do to help!
Although the Great Wizard did not say all these words out loud, his expression said it all.
This made those who were already feeling guilty for their cowardice and retreat feel dissatisfied.
Some people were young and fearless, and had never seen the methods of the Great Witch, so they directly mocked him, "Master Great Witch, we naturally want to listen to you, but you have seen the situation. There are experts in this car, and they have things that can kill our poisonous insects. If we take action without authorization and cause the death of my life-saving Gu worm, how can you compensate us?"
These words touched everyone's heart. Although they did not dare to say these words directly to the Great Witch in such a tone, it could be seen from their attitude that they all agreed without saying anything to refute.
