Chapter 354 Past Events
Ming and Qing were very efficient and quickly found people willing to enter the Demon Tower.
Qingfeng is included among them.
Besides her, there were two other people, Li Yingying and Chen Sha.
They are all friends who grew up together.
Before entering the Demon Tower, Qin Feng distributed the equipment she had forged to everyone. The thick and heavy equipment was very cumbersome to wear, and even slowed down their steps.
Chen Sha wanted to take off her equipment, but Qin Feng stopped her: "You should wear it. Nobody knows what the situation is like inside the Demon Tower. It's better to wear it just in case."
The five men had no weapons, so they took farming tools from home, including hoes and shovels.
The group of five entered the Demon Tower with great fanfare, but their mission was thwarted from the start.
The mutated black-winged beetles on the first floor gave them a lot of trouble.
These blood-sucking bugs burrow into clothes, and equipment can't stop them at all.
They struggled to swing their farm tools, trying to fend off the attacks of the demonized black-winged beetles, but there were just too many of them, and it seemed impossible to kill them all.
The five people, wearing heavy equipment, quickly exhausted themselves. Coupled with the constant bites from the mutated black-winged insects, they emerged covered in dust and grime in less than ten minutes.
Everyone's face was covered in bite marks, swollen like a pig's head.
Li Yingying clutched her chest, looking terrified. "Luckily we got out. If we had stayed any longer, we probably would have been sucked dry! These mutated black-winged insects are terrifying."
Chen Sha took off her gear, took out a piece of candy from her pocket and ate it. "Qin Feng, your gear is too cumbersome! It's just adding to our burden."
Qin Feng pursed his lips. "At the time, I was thinking that the equipment had to withstand all attacks, so I unconsciously used a lot of materials, and therefore... the weight exceeded the limit. However, I will research a lighter version of the equipment."
Ming Qing laughed heartily, "How was it, Qin Feng? You gained something from this trip to the Demon Tower, didn't you? At least you learned to reflect, and reflection leads to progress! Shall we try going in again this afternoon?"
Chen Sha shook her head repeatedly, "Forget it, those little bugs are impossible to kill. Going in would just be feeding them. I haven't even tasted all the delicacies yet, I don't want to be sucked dry."
Ming and Qing insisted: "That's because our weapons are wrong! Look at Qingfeng, only her shovel is correct."
One shovelful can kill a whole swarm of mutated black-winged beetles.
Their weapons were terrible.
Hoes, pitchforks, rakes... there wasn't a single weapon they could use.
After listening to Mingqing's logical analysis, everyone couldn't help but start to wonder if it really was the farm tools that caused the problem.
So, in the afternoon, they rallied their spirits and, in perfect unison, entered the Tower of Babel with shovels.
The outcome was obvious: they fled in disarray once again.
Chen Sha's eyes were swollen from being bitten. "I declare that I am mortal enemies with those mutated black-winged insects!"
Driven to rage by the bite, she was determined to massacre the Tower of Babel.
Ming Qing was also infected by her atmosphere, "That's right, we absolutely cannot lose to those damned bugs! Let's review the game again!"
This time, the five girls concluded that the equipment was too heavy, increasing unnecessary physical exertion, and that their clothes were also inappropriate.
You should wear long sleeves, long pants, and tall shoes, and also wear a mask and hat to "fully arm" yourself.
With a new battle strategy, the five girls were eager to try their luck and entered the Tower of Babel once again... only to suffer a crushing defeat.
Chen Sha, driven to desperation, shouted, "Recap! Recap! Quickly! What's still not perfect this time?"
Ming and Qing racked their brains, but couldn't come up with anything.
Qingfeng suddenly said, "Don't you think those mutated black-winged insects have an excessively high reproductive rate? If you kill one batch, another batch will quickly grow back."
Ming Qing wholeheartedly agreed, "Qingfeng is right! That's exactly how it is; that's what I was thinking just now too!"
Chen Sha mercilessly exposed her, "Stop being so wise after the event."
Ming Qing didn't argue with her, but humbly looked at Qing Feng and asked, "What do you think is the best way to solve this thorny problem?"
Qingfeng shook his head, decisively replying, "I don't know."
Chen Sha lowered her head. "I don't have a good solution either."
Qin Feng said, "Insects are afraid of pesticides, right? Why don't we use pesticides to deal with them!"
So the five of them "borrowed" all the insecticides they had at home.
Qingfeng warned, "With so many pesticides, we'll probably suffer greatly from them too, won't we?"
It would be a loss if the insects were unharmed but you died first.
Qin Feng patted his chest and assured him, "I'll take care of it!"
She made five simple face shields in just two hours, which can effectively block insecticides.
This was the prototype of the later breathing mask.
The five people put on masks, wore long sleeves and trousers, and entered the Tower of Babel once again.
As soon as you enter the magic tower, they spray insecticide like crazy.
For a moment, only hissing sounds could be heard inside the magic tower.
The pesticide did work, but not much.
Their movements became sluggish, and the five men saw this as the perfect opportunity, so they charged forward wielding shovels.
But soon, the mutated black-winged beetles regained their agility and began biting them even more recklessly.
The five people failed once again.
Chen Sha couldn't take it anymore. "How can we get rid of these bugs?! I've had enough!"
Li Yingying suggested, "How about we try pesticides?"
Ming and Qing: "Pesticides are very toxic, perhaps we can give it a try! Li Yingying, I'm leaving the pesticide matter to you."
Li Yingying's family sells fertilizers and pesticides, so she readily agreed.
The regrouping took place on the second day.
Li Yingying took several kinds of pesticides, but the amount of each was relatively small.
Chen Sha: "Isn't that too little?"
Li Yingying said helplessly, "I had a hard time stealing this. If my dad finds out, I'll get a real beating."
Ming and Qing: "That's enough. Let's try which pesticide works first, and then treat the symptoms accordingly."
So, the five people each took different pesticides and went to different areas to test them.
Ultimately, it was determined that a pesticide called "Baichongmie" taken by Qingfeng had the best insecticidal effect.
Li Yingying hesitated for a moment, "This pesticide is highly toxic and expensive. It was something I managed to get with great difficulty. My dad usually keeps a close eye on it."
The implication is that it's not easy to take.
Chen Sha's eyes lit up with an idea. "I'll distract your dad, and you can take it while you're at it."
Li Yingying didn't quite believe her. "You're not going to mess this up, are you?"
If her dad happens to catch her, she's finished.
Chen Sha patted her chest and assured her, "Trust me."
At noon, while the father and daughter were eating, Chen Sha suddenly burst into their house and said anxiously to Mr. Li, "Uncle, my brother has fallen into the river! Please go and save him!"
Mr. Li stood up, his expression urgent: "Take me there quickly!"
Chen Sha secretly winked at Li Yingying, then left with Li's father.
Without delay, Li Yingying went to the store, grabbed the "Hundred Insect Eliminator," and ran to the vicinity of the Tower of Babel.
Qin Feng and his three companions were already waiting for her there.
