Chapter 575 Life and Death Are Destined
Two flowers bloom together, each showing its own beauty.
In other game areas, the situations vary. Some game areas have already become the world of locusts.
Locusts were everywhere, eating grass and trees. If you looked down from above, you could see that there were only a few areas in the entire game area that still had a little bit of green.
But as the locusts had eaten all the other places clean, they naturally surrounded the territory.
The protective shield can also be effective in resisting Jade Locusts.
But gradually, locusts appeared, and most of these locusts were no lower than level seven!
They were all level seven earth locusts, invading the territory, ignoring the protective shield and swaggering in one after another.
Locusts have no wings and naturally cannot fly, but their powerful hind legs and strong jumping ability allow them to quickly reach high enough places to eat.
At first, the locusts attacked the grass and trees, and then all the vegetation and crops in sight were wiped out quickly.
"Hide in the basement quickly!"
This is the best solution all the players can think of. As for the protective shield of this territory... everyone has given all they can to the lord, and the remaining food will be used to survive the last few days.
The players had no fighting power against the locusts. At that time, they killed all the monsters at the beginning of the summer solstice, especially the chickens and ducks.
It was only when there were only two or three thousand left that they realized something was wrong.
Because on the 30th, there were already quite a few locusts wandering around, and they were all dealt with by the one or two thousand chickens and ducks.
It was also at this time that the players belatedly realized that the purpose of the daily refresh of chickens and ducks was to eliminate locusts.
But no matter how much help they provided later, the number of these locust-killing armies was really insufficient, and they had hunted too many of them. The chickens and ducks that were refreshed after the 5th were all of low level.
On the contrary, the level of locusts is not as high as that of other creatures. Locusts have few natural enemies once they hatch during this solar term. The climate is suitable, and there are plants and grasses everywhere waiting for them to eat.
It developed rapidly and quickly grew into a huge colony and several level six locusts.
There were only a few of them at the time, and if they were placed near the territory of 001, they wouldn't even make a splash.
But this is a place where all the natural enemies of locusts have been killed, with only a few thousand left. Pink starlings are fine, because they are flying birds, and there are not enough outstanding archers to capture and hunt them in large numbers.
With the help of the pink starlings and the remaining chickens and ducks, the territory in the entire game area put up another round of resistance.
The pink starlings were extremely powerful and managed to hold on for the next four or five days, evolving into several level seven ones.
Only chickens and ducks, which have almost no real flying ability, seem to be not strong enough when encountering the seventh-level Jade Locusts behind them.
Those of lower levels were quickly besieged and killed by Jade Locusts. It was not a pity to see the chickens die, after all, their fighting capacity against locusts was really poor, and they could not eat many locusts in a day.
Unexpectedly, the locusts behind them were clearly being devoured by the pink starlings, and their numbers were increasing every day, and they could not be killed at all.
Until it was discovered that the chicken-like monster was mainly engaged in finding and eating locust eggs.
Only they can reduce the egg masses of locusts and further eradicate the large-scale hatching of locusts.
The game area is so large that it is impossible for players to take it all into consideration, and those female locusts will definitely lay eggs in other places.
The players could not have anticipated that the area occupied by the locusts was becoming increasingly larger, with an endless stream of nymphs growing up every day.
Nymphs without food will quickly come to the vicinity of the territory and eat all the food they can.
The territory's protective shield could last for a while, but not for a day, and was eventually breached by millions of locusts.
The level 7 locusts inside have already been wreaking havoc, so players who have time to escape to the basement can hide in the basement.
Anyway, it's the seventh, so the remaining food and drink can last for three days.
As long as those locusts don't find their way to the basement... everything will be fine.
People hid in the basement and communicated with each other through the public screen to relieve the tension and fear brought by the small and dark basement.
In fact, it cannot be said that it was caused by the basement, but more of the sound coming from the locusts on the ground gnawing on things.
Even the bricks, walls, buildings, and furniture were left out.
“Huff, huff—”
The sound rang right above the head, like a knife blade being sharpened by water, ready to fall from the top of the head at any time and separate the head from the body.
"Oh my god, I'm so panicked, those locusts are eating the things above my head..."
[Xiao Liang who loves eating radishes]: "It's okay, just hide in the basement. As long as you cover the basement entrance with dirt, it shouldn't be a problem."
Xiao Liang's words made many players even more nervous.
"No way. Do we have to cover the entrance to the basement with soil?"
"I just used my furniture, bricks and wooden boards to block the entrance... I thought after the 10th, I could just blast it open violently."
"I even moved a rock to block the entrance. Should it be okay?"
[Chopper Rabbit]: "Then is it too late for me to go out and dig some soil now?"
In the entire game area, not every player is so miserable that locusts suddenly find their way home.
Especially those with the skill of taming animals. When there were so many chickens, ducks and pink starlings spawning, they were able to tame some of them more or less.
There is still hope to protect the little property you have for the time being.
[Xiao Liang who loves eating radishes]: "Hey, how can I say good things about you? These locusts didn't even spare the brick and tile houses. How can you stop them with furniture, stones, and planks?!"
[Xiao Liang who loves to eat radishes]: "Locusts will definitely eat until there is nothing left to eat. Only soil can stop them from eating."
[Xiao Liang who loves to eat radishes]: "Find a stone slab or wooden board or something like that, one meter deep or half a meter deep at the entrance, and cover it with a thick layer of soil, so that the locusts will think there is only soil underneath!"
Xiao Liang told the other players in great detail, but it was too late for him.
Because the protective shield of many players in his territory was broken, it could be said that almost all the locusts came, and no one in the house escaped the clutches.
Only then did I think of going out to find enough soil, but I'm afraid it's hard to find...
【爱吃幼稚園】: "Oh my god, luckily there are no locusts here. I quickly went outside to dig up lots of soil."
She went down to the basement, prepared the stone slabs for padding, and then started to apply the soil.
I wanted to compact the soil into a big pancake, then pile it all on the stone slab, and then push the stone slab up and hold it in place with something.
In this way, enough earth cakes were stacked up to a depth of nearly half a meter.
【Love to Eat Kindergarten】: "The soil is more than half a meter deep. If that locust finds it, then... life and death are left to fate."
