Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 27 Observation Box

Xia Chen aimed the insect setter at the red-gold locust that was eating rice. The moment he pressed the launcher, a laser shot out.

After the red-gold locust was hit, a ball of light immediately emerged from its body and enveloped it.

But after just a moment, the bright ball of light disappeared.

The red-gold locust did not feel anything unusual and continued to eat rice.

Afterwards, Xia Chen found several lower-grade first-level red-gold locusts and calibrated them one by one using the insect setter.

Among such swarms of tens of millions of locusts, there are quite a few advanced red-gold locusts.

He even found a locust that looked like a bird in the end. It was dark gold in color and emitted a cold light.

It has reached the first-level intermediate grade!
The other locusts around didn't dare to get close.

Xia Chen did not dare to move forward easily. After all, this level of demon insects were extremely fast and could teleport over in the blink of an eye.

"Click..."

A laser was shot out, and the medium-quality red-gold locust was covered by a ball of light.

It jumped up instinctively and disappeared.

Xia Chen didn't even notice its movement trajectory, which shows how fast it was.

After doing all this, Xia Chen left the raging insect swarm and returned to his bamboo house.

Then, he took out a number of specimen-like boxes from his treasure bag, which were insect observation boxes.

Many locusts appeared in the center of the box.

Some are flying and jumping, some are eating, and some are mating...

The bamboo house was suddenly filled with the buzzing sound of insects.

This is of course not true.

The laser emitted by the insect setter provides all-round positioning for the calibrated locust, while the insect box used for observation is equivalent to a holographic projection.

With this set of props, Xia Chen can view the movements of the locust swarm in real time and find out who is behind it.

"Can this item be used on monks?"

Xia Chen's mind moved, and he suddenly thought of another use for the insect setter.

If this item could really be used on monks, then its value would be immeasurable.

For example, find an opportunity to target an inner disciple of a fairy sect.

Then you can take the opportunity to spy on more advanced skills, spells, or secrets.

For example, it can be used to monitor the enemy, understand his every move at all times, and make corresponding preparations in advance.

However, the insect setter makes a lot of noise when calibrating, and the set target will be covered by a ball of light, making it difficult to attack casually.

So Xia Chen first tried to set up a wild boar in the wild.

However, there was no reaction when observing the insect box, and no image of a wild boar appeared inside.

The insect setter seems to have a special recognition device and cannot set creatures other than insects.

"Yes, if all living things could be programmed, it wouldn't be called an insect programmable machine!"

Xia Chen felt a little sorry.

A day later, Zhang Wang came to visit.

"Brother Xia, do you know that this locust plague has affected five shanty towns! Tens of thousands of acres of spiritual rice have been destroyed!"

There was a hint of excitement in Zhang Wang's tone, even a hint of gloating.

It’s no wonder that the wider the locust plague spreads, the more beneficial it is for spiritual farmers like them who have already had a good harvest.

Because they can sell their extra spiritual rice at a higher price than usual in the market, thus making a fortune.

Xia Chen was surprised and a little bit unbelievable.

The observation insect box can be used to observe the set locusts, but the number of locusts is really too large, so all that can be observed from more than a dozen boxes are densely packed locusts, and no other useful information can be seen for the time being.

"Then the Sinong Palace should send someone to solve it, right?" Xia Chen asked again.

"This locust plague has spread so widely that it is rare in a century. It has already attracted the attention of the Sinong Palace. I heard that a foundation-building elder will personally take action to resolve the locust plague soon."

Zhang Wang nodded, and then said excitedly: "I have never seen a foundation-building cultivator take action in my life. Why don't we go and see the excitement?"

Xia Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Is there any danger?"

"What danger can there be? We are just following from a distance. Besides, there are many monks watching, not just the two of us!" Zhang Wang patted his chest.

Xia Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "Anyway, the rice has been harvested now, and I have nothing to do, so it would be good to go and broaden my horizons."

Then the two of them put on the magic talisman and walked towards the area where the Shen-zihao shantytown was located.

After walking for twenty miles, Xia Chen finally saw pieces of floating black clouds in the distance ahead. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were made up of countless locusts.

There is no grass growing on the ground anymore, and all edible things have been eaten by the locusts.

There were spiritual farmers in groups of three or four around, who had obviously heard that the Sinong Palace was going to take action and came to watch the fun.

Before the two of them could catch their breath, a spaceship over ten feet wide and ten feet long rushed out from deep in the clouds.

From a distance, you can see twenty or thirty young disciples in green standing on the spaceship, both men and women.

"This is the Qingyun spaceship of the Sinong Palace! It seems that a big shot has taken action personally!" exclaimed a spiritual farmer.

The spaceship is a treasure and is worth a lot of money. There is only one in the entire Sinong Palace.

Ordinary elders are not qualified to ride the Qingyun spacecraft.

The spaceship flew over everyone's heads, headed straight towards the locust swarm, and soon disappeared into it.

In order to witness this grand spectacle, the monks on the edge took out their Eagle Eye Talismans to enhance their vision.

Xia Chen was no exception and also posted a talisman.

Suddenly, the locusts that were previously imperceptible in the distance suddenly became clear, and even the stripes on their abdomens could be seen, as if using a high-power telescope.

After the Qingyun spacecraft entered the insect swarm, countless red-gold locusts immediately rushed over, trying to drown it.

But then, the young disciples on the spaceship chanted a spell and each offered a flag that was more than a foot long, red in color, and had a blazing fire pattern painted on it.

As the flags swayed, countless fire horses, fire crows, fire tigers, and fire dragons flew out from the flags...

For a moment, the western sky was illuminated red.

"Crack...crack..."

I don't know how many red-gold locusts were burned by the flames, turned into ashes, and fell down.

It was like a heavy black rain.

The unpleasant smell even gradually spread to the spiritual farmers who were watching the battle from afar.

"This seems to be the Lihuo Liyang Formation, a set of top-grade spiritual tools, one of the five treasures of Sinong Palace!"

Some spiritual farmers recognized the origin of this formation.

The Qingyun spacecraft itself has powerful defensive capabilities and can withstand wave after wave of locust attacks. Coupled with the Lihuo Lieyang Formation, it is invincible.

Even if the locust swarm is huge, with tens of millions of individuals, it cannot withstand such consumption.

"Tsk tsk, the spiritual fields below are blessed. With so many corpses of red-gold locusts as fertilizer, there will surely be a bumper harvest next year. Maybe we can even get two harvests a year!" Zhang Wang joked at the side, looking very relaxed.

Just when everyone thought that the disciples of the Sinong Hall were going to wipe out the locust swarm in one fell swoop, the situation changed in some way.
