The Northern Barbarian General wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and let out a satisfied burp.
He looked at the deputy general opposite him, who was crying so hard he could barely breathe, his old face flushed, and he cleared his throat.
"Stop crying!"
A true man sheds blood, not tears!
"It's just a plate of meat! I'll pay you back ten plates after I earn points from clearing the wilderness!"
The lieutenant raised his head, sobbing, his eyes still filled with tears.
"real?"
"Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you!"
The general patted his chest, full of heroic spirit, having completely forgotten his previous worries. After all, nothing mattered more than having enough to eat!
…
Factory in the barren mountains.
Lin Anniang took a stroll around Liulichang and found that everything there was very orderly, so she went to another factory.
After inspecting all the factories, she remembered that a new oil pressing factory had recently opened, so she walked over to it.
Before long, a rich aroma of oil wafted over, mixed with the unique fragrance of beans and various nuts being pressed.
Soon, a huge, brand-new factory appeared before my eyes, with machines roaring.
Lin Anniang was inspecting various machines in the factory when she looked up and saw the Snake Woman taking a break and wandering around with her new underlings.
"This is……"
Wu Feng stared wide-eyed at the enormous stone mills and presses.
"An oil mill?"
Lin Anniang nodded, her expression calm.
"good."
Wu Feng's curiosity was completely piqued. He circled around a huge oil pot and smacked his lips.
"Why has another oil factory opened?"
"I remember there's already an oil refinery in this barren county, isn't there? How many people do you have in all this desolate mountainous area? How can you possibly consume that much oil?"
Lin Anniang glanced at him and said indifferently.
"This oil is naturally not just for the people of the desolate mountains."
Her gaze was fixed on the distance, and her tone carried a hint of solemnity.
"The Mountain Goddess prophesied that soon, tornadoes and insect plagues would strike the Liang Kingdom one after another."
"How will we cope if we don't stock up on more oil?"
Tornado? Insect plague?
Wu Feng paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
He asked tentatively.
"You, you wouldn't be trying to extract more oil so you can have some kind of insect feast, would you?"
Wu Feng swallowed hard.
"That stuff, can it really taste good?"
Lin Anniang hadn't had a chance to answer yet.
The snake woman beside her was drooling all over the ground.
The snake woman's eyes shone like two small lanterns, and she looked completely captivated.
"You'll see when the time comes!"
"Especially those fried locusts, one bite and they're so crispy, fragrant and crunchy, even better than the finest delicacies!"
Seeing the snake woman's greedy look, as if she couldn't wait to have a plate of it right now, Wu Feng was half-convinced.
He knew this was indeed a good way to solve the insect infestation, turning the pests into food.
Can……
frying so much oil and mobilizing so many people, just to eat insects?
This is outrageous!
Seeing his suspicious expression, the snake woman snorted and turned her head away.
Believe it or not!
"Don't you dare eat it then!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng immediately became anxious.
He quickly waved his hand, his face instantly plastered with a fawning smile, completely losing any semblance of his shamanistic airs.
No, no, no!
"Sister, I was wrong, I'll eat it! I'll definitely eat it!"
He knew perfectly well that in the desolate mountains, he could miss anything, but he absolutely couldn't miss this opportunity to eat for free!
…
at the same time.
At the summit of a desolate mountain, deep within a temple.
The enormous white camellia tree, connecting heaven and earth, trembled slightly, radiating a soft, holy light.
Yu Luo, dressed in a pink gauze dress and barefoot, walked down from among thousands of petals, like a celestial being untouched by the world.
She stood before the temple, gazing at the southern horizon, her fair, jade-like fingers twitching slightly.
In the darkness, I have already glimpsed the secrets of heaven.
"A giant typhoon is coming to the South China Sea."
She murmured to herself.
The voice of the mini-system immediately rang in his mind.
[Yes, host. According to my calculations, this typhoon is of epic magnitude and will sweep across the entire South China Sea.]
[There is an archipelago of immortals in the South China Sea, which is actually a gathering of many demons and evil spirits, who jointly protect the tens of thousands of mortals on the islands.]
The little system's tone carried a hint of appreciation.
To be honest, that place is governed quite well; it's much more reliable than many so-called divine kingdoms.
Unfortunately, this typhoon is too powerful; the entire Fairy Islands, along with the demons and the people, will likely be completely destroyed.
Yu Luo nodded slightly, a hint of pity flashing in her cool eyes.
The passing of the typhoon will inevitably bring a massive tsunami, with wind and flood disasters occurring simultaneously. Tens of thousands of lives on the Fairy Island are in imminent danger.
A thought suddenly occurred to her.
An invisible command traversed space and instantly arrived at a certain courtyard.
The next moment.
An aged yet still agile figure strode to the front of the mountain god temple and knelt respectfully in the direction of Yu Luo.
The person who came was none other than Old Lady Gongsun.
Although she is 119 years old, she is still vigorous and healthy, thanks to the nourishment of the mountain god's power.
"This old woman, Gongsun, pays her respects to the Mountain Goddess!"
Yu Luo's voice rang softly in her mind.
"A great calamity is coming to the South China Sea."
"This time, you will be the one to make the trip."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Gongsun trembled, and her eyes instantly flashed with an incomparably fanatical light, without the slightest hesitation.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Yu Luo's voice came again.
"Wang Wan will accompany you."
"You, depart immediately."
