Chapter 726: Green Straw Coat's Treasure House
Lu Yao looked at the stone statue of Qingfangzhu.
This monk who was once a Japanese god, after becoming a demon god, still had to rely on his past prayers to gain faith. This is also one point that demon gods are stronger than black angels. They had more or less a mass base in the past, and it was easy for them to use shadow demons to spread and gain faith.
Around the stone statue, Qingfangzhu's followers all knelt on the ground, their foreheads touching the ground, not daring to make eye contact with Lu Yao. Only the brothers Zhang Cheng and Zhang Ye were still standing, but they were also pale and uneasy.
Lu Yao pulled his gaze back.
Isabel was interrogating Monk Qing at the time. The apostle's assistant was as efficient as ever and started working as soon as he was called over.
"How long have you been here?"
“82 years.”
“How many believers have been developed?”
"There are 417 core fanatics, and the total number of other ordinary believers is about 230,000." Monk Qing was nailed to the ground by the magic spear, and his attitude became honest.
"Why didn't the mountain god destroy you?"
"It wants to, but it can't. The mountain god is not a real god."
Monk Qing said, "When I first arrived in this world, I explored everywhere, especially Tianming Mountain where the mountain god is. At that time, I found it strange that there are statues of the mountain god in all 36 towns of Jindan Kingdom, but the prophet is only the king Feng Danzi. I have to find out how many apostles there are first."
“But when I sneaked into Tianming Mountain, I found that there was no breath of godhood there, and I didn’t see any apostles. The rank and ability of that Feng Danzi were okay, but that was all.”
"The mountain god is just a special kind of monster, but for safety reasons, I didn't get too close to it."
The shadow demon said: "After doing these investigations, I decided to operate here for a long time. If I knew there were powerful gods here, I would never dare to show up. Although Feng Danzi was also under the command of the mountain god and kept attacking me, neither of us had a falling out."
Isabel stared at Monk Qing: "Are there any other traces of demons in this area?"
"No, I'm the only one here, and this is a place I opened up with great difficulty. In fact, many years ago, another projection of mine came to this world. Although it was killed, it left behind an altar and prayers, so I was able to come back again."
As for what that generation of shadow demons encountered and what the world situation was like at the time, no one knows.
When Monk Qing came to this world, the Jindan Kingdom was already in its current state.
Most of the world is a dangerous uninhabited area that is not suitable for living at all. Poisonous insects and beasts are only on the periphery. Even poisonous insects and beasts dare not approach the deeper areas.
There are few places suitable for human habitation, where food can be grown and where a stable water source is available. Developing new settlements would consume a lot of population and power, so neither the mountain god nor the monk Qing was willing to take the lead and let the other party take advantage, so both sides kept their troops in place.
The population growth of Jindan Country was limited, in addition to the 40-year-old limit set by the Mountain God, there was also the influence of this objective environment. In this plate of a population of just over one million, the Mountain God and Qing Heshang were fighting for the cake of faith.
Lu Yao was heartbroken after hearing this.
A false god monster, a shadow demon, all kinds of rotten fish and shrimp dare to deceive and pretend to be gods. They don’t have the ability to develop civilization.
How can a group of insects govern a country? Isabel's questioning continued: "What is in the no-man's land?"
"Cursed insect."
Monk Qing said solemnly, "I don't know why, but curse insects often visit this world, perhaps looking for traces of gods. Fortunately, there are no gods here, so they can't find prey, and have never actively attacked or devoured other lives."
"What's even stranger is that they all came here separately and each marked out an area. I initially suspected that the curse insects were building a territory here, but they came and left quickly, which doesn't fit this theory."
"I observed them carefully and for a long time, and finally discovered their secret."
The one-eyed monk said mysteriously, "The cursed insects buried something here. Those things might be treasures or props they looted from other worlds, so they specifically chose a world without gods to bury them."
"What was buried?" Isabel asked again.
"I don't know." The Shadow Demon shook his head. "For safety reasons, I try to stay away from areas where they appear. My goal is to gain the power of faith, so there's no need to provoke the cursed insects. It's best not to meet them. The same goes for the mountain gods."
This aroused Lu Yao's interest.
The cursed insects entered the Jindan Kingdom like bees and then left quickly.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly dilapidated and corrupt Jindan Kingdom turned out to be the secret warehouse of the cursed insects.
This place must have its special features.
Find professionals for professional matters.
Lu Yao used a super long-distance portal to open a passage and called the wise insect from the Resurrection Kingdom on the other side of the world.
The intelligent insect, shaped like a red panda, ran over with a backpack on its back and prostrated itself before Lu Yao.
"Wise insect, respond to the oracle and call of the great Yao God."
Lu Yao said, "Get up."
After getting permission, the red panda got up and brushed off the dust on his body.
The monk Qing who was nailed to the ground beside him looked puzzled: "Zhu...Zhu clan...Impossible, how can the Zhu clan be apostles..."
"Impossible! This is impossible."
"Did the original master leave me with some wrong common sense... or did the original master know something about this place..."
It muttered to itself, lost in doubt.
Isabel briefed the wise bug on the situation.
Xiaozhi's nose twitched, and his beard trembled along with it: "I did smell the scent of the Curse Clan, and it's very strong. Strange... very strange. Eh? This is a bit... maybe I need to observe and ask on the spot to confirm the truth."
"My Lord God, please give me some time. I will go over and investigate right away."
Lu Yao said, "Lead the way."
"yes."
Xiaozhi looked at the green monk behind him again: "Then it..."
Lu Yao said: "Bring it with you."
So Xiaozhi picked up the magic spear and took the immobilized Qing Monk away with him.
Lu Yao waved to Zhang Cheng and his brother behind him: "You'll be back soon."
Zhang Cheng and Zhang Ye hurriedly cupped their hands: "Okay."
…
Xiaozhi led the way all the way, deep into the places where few people have been.
The choking smell of decay in the air became stronger and stronger. Many trees grew into a figure 8 shape lying on the ground, still slowly crawling. The weeds on the ground also became short and sharp, like thorns. The poisonous insects and beasts here also became higher in level, but they all avoided Lu Yao's group and did not dare to approach.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lu Yao saw a large number of pottery fragments, broken glass, strangely shaped hard shells and fluff, clumps like large mold, some sword fragments, rusty metal and bones on the ground.
"My Lord God, I have found them."
Xiaozhi, who was carrying the magic spear, suddenly stopped and raised his paw to point forward.
Lu Yao looked around.
Not far ahead was a wilderness. Curse insects flew in from the sky, and then rose from the ground. They all kept their distance from each other tacitly.
It was totally different from the previous feeling of the chaotic and messy flying faces of the [Giant Valley Elephant].
Very cultured and orderly.
Lu Yao carefully observed this type of cursed insect.
The bodies of the cursed insects here are light green, with yellow stripes on the edges of the sides and a white abdomen. They have membranous transparent wings, dense hair on the chest and abdomen, big eyes, and a very short mouth. They look a bit like big bees with slender limbs.

He is keen on storing and burying the various things he obtains. When storing things, he will give the stored things [Advanced Camouflage], and the camouflage effect is related to this ability.
…
It's really a cursed insect that likes to hide things.
Lu Yao thought silently in his heart.
Among the curse insects, there are some that are overeaters like the giant elephant, and some that are obsessed with storage like the green mullet. It seems that the ecology within the curse insects is also very diverse.
Lu Yao noticed that these green curse insects were lying on the ground one by one, shaking off some small objects from their round abdomens. Then they would bury them with soil, stones, branches, etc., and would not leave until they were sure there was no problem.
"Look, I didn't lie to you. I told you the truth." The green monk with the magic gun stuck in his chest said again.
The wise bug whistled.
Many green raincoats looked over here, but only one green raincoat that was about to leave flew over here. It was about the size of a big eagle.
The wise insect patted its head. The green raincoat could not speak, but kept gesturing with its six legs. After a while, the wise insect patted it again, and the green raincoat flapped its wings and flew up.
Then the wise insect returned to Lu Yao and said, "My Lord God, I understand."
"Many cracks appeared in the void outside this world. At the other end of the crack was an insect nest, which was the home of the green mullets."
"They never attacked the Jindan Kingdom, not because the curse insects never attack other lives. In fact, in addition to gods, the curse insects will also hunt other creatures. When they are hungry, they will eat everything."
"We don't attack this place because it's special."
The two valves of the wise insect's mouth moved, and it whispered, "They need this place, but not for storage or treasure hiding, but for... defecation."
Lu Yao suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Each species of spellworms has its own habits. Most of them are not intelligent, but there are also basic norms and customs within the group. For example, almost all spellworms cannot tolerate dirty environments. Dirty has different definitions in the eyes of different groups, but most spellworms will not defecate in their nests or feeding grounds."
The wise insect said carefully: "Green Straw Cloth pays special attention to storage and classification, so it will not put the collection and... excrement in the same place."
“They will expel all the things they cannot absorb and digest, such as copper, iron, gold, silver, all kinds of stone and pottery, which will reduce their weight and burden.”
"A large amount of raw materials in this world come from the constant defecation of green coir."
“…”
Lu Yao is a little bit nervous.
From a treasure house to a public toilet, the gap is too big.
